For the Hawk Eye and Patriot.

FELLOW C1TlzENs-I perceive the
Federal Sub Treasury newspapers, Of
late, take special pleasure in announcing
the opponents Of Van Buren, and the Sub
Treasury as g British Whigs." Why
do they this! Is it for mere scandal, or
are they really honest in what they say ?
I think it would be scandal on these
Federal Sub Treasures to give them a
credit for honesty in anything connected
with their proscriptive party feeling.
But what do the Sub-rreasuyers mean
by the term British Wings" under
stand them to mean that the Wing party
are the enemies of this country and the
friends of the British. 1t is true there is
party in Great Britain called the
Wings, who have long been engaged in
arduous political strsSgles to advance
British liberty; there is also a party
there called the Torys who have fought
against liberty in all its stages. The
Tory party in England advocate pretty
much the same doctrines of aristocracy,
the sub lection of the many by the few,
low wages for workingmen. large sala-
ries for office holders, and all the wealth
and influence of the Government placed
in the hands of the few, which the Sub
Treasures do here.
| If then the Federal Sub Treasurers
wish to compare the Whigs of this coun-
try to the Wings Of Great Britain they
do them the honor they merit, for they
are undoubtedly the most enthusiastic
/ friends of liberty. Viewing the term
|'.British Whigs" so often of late
used by the Sub Treasures, in this light,
! would recommend to the Sub Treasur-
ers that hereafter when they speak of
themselves they should carry out the
argumentb by naming themselves 'Iorys.'
If they are hWest they will do SO.
But if these Sub Treasures would
euen insinuate the Wings of this country
prefer the British Government to this,
they state down right falsehood, and
state it slanderously, wickedly, and
knowingly. And they state it for no
other purpose than to cover their wicked
attempts at treason, and to reduce the
workingmen of this country to the con-
dition of the Serfs of Russia. Buchanan
and all the leaders of the Sub Treasures
have openly advocated the doctrine of
reducing the wages of workingmen here to
those OF Europe. But Federal Buchanan
took good care to say nothing about re-
ducing the Presidents salary of twenty
/! five thousand dollars year nor of his
own which is eight dollars day.
But who are some of the men who
these Sub Treasures call British
J. Whigs." Such as the Gallant Harrison
/ who learned war under the lion hearted
Wayne, and had his confidence and
praise-who had the confidence Of Wash
ington, and Jefferson, who appointed him
to several distinguished stations-who
had the first confidence of the patriot
Madison-who won imperishable honors
on the field Of Tippecanoe, Fort Meigs.
and the Thames. and Of whom Col. John
!. con on the floor Of Congress gave him
the praise Of all the Generals in the last
war.

SCENE "

A general night meeting of the office
holders, and the Sub Treasury intriguers
about Burlington-at their usual place Of
meeting, occasioned by the recent dis
asters of the party. Very little was said
and all wore downcast countenance.
No one was heard to address the others
or TO speak of the prospects Of the party
in Iowa. But now and then several were
heard TO calculate in fain, voices - Rhode
Island which cast her vote for Van Buren,
in 1886, now against him more than 800
votes Bad, very bad
Connecticut voted for Van Buren, in
1896, now $500 votes against him! sur
prising in the extreme We have lost
800 votes in New York city in months
time, and the Wings have gained in the
same time in Albany 100 votes squally
and ominous! What the ID can the
matter be-"
Z" Virginia 6400 for the party in 1896,

us !-ah this is the most severe stab of

have too turned topsy turvy! the people
the people-curse that rolling ball."
One of them pulled out a letter from a
friend and read it to the meeting as fol-
lows:

voted for. War had now been raging
for nearly FIVE months.
The disasters which the country had
experienced, were well calculated to a.
waken the national feelings of every pa
trlotlc American, and to prompt him (il
ne had any sympathies in common with
the administrator to act in concert with,
and give his support to ii. What was
Mr. Van Buren's course Of conduct at
this evenlful period!
On the Bird ofNovember 1912, the leg
lslature Of New York convened in the
city Of Albany. 1t was special, session
held for the purpose of appointing presi-
dental electors. On the evening. of the 4lh,
a caucus was held in the Senate chamber,
for the purpose of designating candidates
to be voted for as electors. There were
Three parties in the legislature. FIRST.
The Democratic party, the friends and
supporters of Mr. Madison and the war.
Second. The party which has since ac.
CURED, and is in possession of the admin
ls,ralion of the federal Government, self
styled now as thenDemocrats-consoli-
dauonlsts-the advocates of Executive
power protesting economy but prac-

toned federal party.

Great violence ensued. MIR Van Buren,,

the South, the war, and all its supporters.
lie then lauded, iii most fulsome man
ner, the presidential candidate of the
'Esser Juuto," and avowed his deterni-
nation to support that candidate, which
pledge he redeemed. He was replied to
by General Root, now in the Senate of
New York, by the late Chancellor Stat
ford, and by others. General Root, and
the other friends of Mr. Madison, finding
themselves in the minority; withdrew
from the caucus. Each of these parties
separately nominated their candidates for
the presidential electors; and on the 9th
November 1872, with Mr. Van Buren's
influence and vote. electors for the s.peace
party" candidate were chosen.
Such was Mr. Van Buren's position,
preceding and during the first year Of the
war. Subsequently when Mr. Madison
had been e-eleeted-when brighter pros
poets began to dawn on the paths of glory
which was opening before-when lie had
received from the Government liberal
fees as a Judge Advocate, and when
certain other good causes thereunto NOV

ranks of the Democracy but not during

lect no further. These facts are matters
of record.
