MORE DEYAULTERs

We learn from Washington, that Governor
Van Ness, of Vermont, who. is an electoral car
didate ON the Van Barren ticket, isa dcfaulter tSz
a large amount; and that r,lnor makes free to
say, that he ard Eaton, whose dishonored drafts
have been the cause Of some ate.reE.arks in the
papers, are both defaulters, through the same
ca use-their loisonS with celebrated co,vssan
of the Spanish capital,
These facts arelInown to the Secretary of the
Treasury, and to the President, and yet they
protect Van Ness and Eaton.
Such are the natural consequences Of placing
a President in Office, who PLACED two soas Of his
oacn mistress in clerkshi?s in the Departments,
for which their only recommendation was that
their mother had purchased Mr.. Van Buren's
favor by the sacrifice Of her virtue We repeat
that it is natural for Mr.. Van Buren, to excuse
such defa1lters, but VIII the rigid morals of the
green m ountain do so7 We think not.
