The Statesman of Underwood, in late letter
TO some of his supporters in Pennsylvania, where
in the Election of lS40 was stigmatized as
fraud and disgrace, to be wiped out by the re
election of MIR. Van Buren in 1914, thus responds
to the sentiment

How far this defeated candidate is Sin situa
ton to judge correctly of the circumstances" of
his defeat, is question for others to determine.
How far the People are ready to proclaim them
selves fools, drunkards, and ma Omen in lS4O
and to reflect Mr. Van Buren, by way of absolv
ing themselves from the disgrace of that epoch,
we cannot positively say, though we can give
Yankee guess at it. For few of us, however,
we confidently say that we were never more SO.

eager as ne can be to try that issue over again.

of the Wings are all unmasked,' all open now.
There can be no farther pretence of conceal

water In le40, and are confident OUT party drank
no more liquor than their opponen ts-not SO
much IN proportion to their rela tive numbers,
though each doubtless drank more than was
best. Our side built some cabins to hold their
meetings IN, sang some songs, and huzzaed occa-
sionaly, when they felt like it, but how should
all that vitiate an Election? You can't expect
the winning side to be as solemn as owls, though
it is natural as grief TO the losers. But if hur
rahs are to vitiate an Election, where would be

We insist that Martin Van Buren, shall be the
candidate of the Loco Focos for President this
time. After the defamation they have heaped
on the People for their discontinue in 1910,
we insist that they shall no. haul off their man
and escape the issue by virtue of plea of guilty.
Let US have fair trial on the merits as IN
whether it was Martin Van Buren, and his Office
holders or the vast majority of the American
People who were disgraced by the verdict of lS40
Yet ii strikes us that the party ought to be
allowed release from Mr.. Van Buren's claims
at some future time. Suppose he runs now and
we beat him again, as is sure enough: what

wo!d logic, the People will then be douby dis

wipe out the infamy. We shouldn't wonder il
they grew weary of this.
And then, bear in mind that it was not Mr.
Van Buren, only who was prostrated in lS40. Il
he was cheated or fooled out of reelection, sc
