In the Herald of 25ih July last, we inserted a
Puzzle, Of the following tenor "What has Mar
tin Van Buren, done, either before or since his
elevation to the presidency 10 en,i,le him to a
reelection ,"
We have waited patiently for an answer TO the
above question, but as yet none has beer given
We very honestly supposed that some Of his
warm friends in this quarter would have been
willing 10 enlighten us upon this important ques-
ton: but they are perfectly silent. We had pre-.
sumed, perhaps improperly, that where the arty
had showed such strong anxiety for his coninu.
ance in office, there must be some good reason
for this desire, and il so, it should be made known
10 the people, who have SO much interest in the
election of their rulers. We have been opposed
to Martin Van Buren, from the first, but if there
are paramount reasons why he should be again e..
ieeted TO the chief Office in the land-ii the wei.
fare OF the country requires tiff his continuance
in Office will be most likely to preserve the con.
sitution against executive encroachinent, and
perpeluats our civil and religious institutions in
all their forme- purity, and if we through igno.
rance or prejudice have been opposed to him and
his election, we shall feel obliged to any # his
friends if,hey will set us right in this matter. We
claim to be uctuated by motives Of patriotism and
true love for our country and her institutions we
are not Influenced by any expectation of office in
our opposition 10 Mr. Van Buren,; we expect no
benefit from his defeat but what we should enjoy
/ in common with all our fellow citizens and we
would act and vote both honestly and under
standngly in this important juncture, for we be-
lieve our country's best interests are at stake.
We are not without apprehension that longer
silence on the part ofthose who ought to know the
truth but who still refuse To- make it known will but
tend 10 confirm US in our opposition to the prcsi-
dent and his measures-frr while the party urge
many things against Harrison, they put not forth
a single one in favor Of Van Buren,, aud we are
therefore led TO believe that nothing can be urged
favorable to his pIetentions And is it notso

Mr.. Van Buren, has commenced letter writ
ing with perfect fury. Every administration
journal that we open, crolns beneath the weight
of his leadcn lucubrations. These letters are
generally written in reply to certain questions
put him by his friends in different sections of
the Country, and it is a little singular that in
his replies he adopts the same course which
the Tories have abused Gen. Harrison for
pursuing, viz: that of referring his friends to
his letter TO Shcrod Williams, and his letter
to the citizens Of this place and that place.
The magician seems emulous of following in
the footsteps of the Hero of the Thames as
well as in those ofthe Hero of New Orleans. i.
In all these letters of Mr.. Van Buren,, one
out controversy decidedly the most deficient in
all the attributes of statesman, of any man,
with one exccption) who ever sat in the pres
idential chair. We look in vain, for any exhi-
Billions of far-reaching sagacity, any indica =
lions Of research into the history of past, or
of the sound practical views Of government
which such a research alone can give, in his
messages, or letters. A narrowness of intel
lect, sphere of vision limited by the actual
present, and which extends not forward to the
future wants Of this great nation, littleness
Of conception, and a poverty of every thing
generous OF noble, characterize the whole of
his productions. He was generally consider
ed man Of talent until his elevation to the
Presidency, but his course since that event has
given frequent and ndubitable proofs that his
talents were very much over-raed.

Office Holders at WashingiOn.-A prominent
officer of the Treasury department now on a
political tour in this State, came up the North
River few days since in company with an
old acquaintance Of the Wing party. In the
course Of conversation, the Wing asked the
office holder what was thought at Washington
of Mr.. Van Burens prospect for reelection.
He replied that il was considered as perfectly
safe; that letters had been received from every
section of the Union, representing their cause
as prospering- But said the Wing, you can
mt certainly expect to carry New York. Oh!
no, replied the office holder we do not expect
to carry New York-we will give you New
York; we can elect Mr.. Van Buren, without
the vote of New York.
The above shows wha, little confidence
"New Works favoriie son" has in the vote OF
his native State, Notwithstanding his pariisans
here claim for him majority of $500
! The idea OF re-electing Van Buren, without
the vote Of New York, is too absurd even IL
have entered into the heads OF any but Tor,
otiice-holder.-Iroy Wing.
