BEAUTIES OF PoLIrICs.-We annex from the AL
bany Advertiser" letter just published by General
Van Rensselaer, in reply to certain charges made
against him, growing out of his removal from the
Albany Post Office.
General Van Rensselaer, was a gallant soldier
during the last war-perilng his life for his country,

not contribute quota of black mail to sustain the
newspaper, started by M. M. Noah, called the

holds in the White House, he having nominated
him in the Harrisburgh Convention. more curl

against it, and actually prosecuted US for libel on
one of the clique, who now enjoys naval contract
worth several thousand dollars for this and other

Captain Tyler is in fair way to get high repu-
