New Disclosures In the Politics of the Van
Buren, Observation-Disclosures Convicted
of Gross and Malicious Falsehood aud
SANDER.
Tomorrow, we will resume our political history
of that eventlul epoch the life of Van Burenism,
between the years 1924 and 1884, and re-publsh the
letters written by Martin Van Buren,, Jesse Hoyt,
and ourseh, during that period, which have been
given in Mackenzies pamphlet. These epistcs we
will give in regular chronological order, Mackenzie
having blunderngly printed them in a confused and
disconnected manner, without any method or ar
rangement, or attention 10 dates Our comments
will embrace some exceedingly interesting disco-
sures and developments. During the whole period
of our connection with the politicians of this State
we kept diary, which records many most anus
ing scenes, and is peculiarly rich in revelations of
political intrigue-the tricks of party leaders-and
the philosophy OF faction. BY the aid Of this diary
we will be enabled TO give some of the most inter-
esting, curious, and attractive chapters Of contem-
poraneous history, that ever were written.
Together with the correspondence of Martin Van
Buren, and Jesse Hoyt, which has been published
by Mackenzie, will give to the world four letters
written to us by Mr. Jesse Hoyt, which will be
found highly interesting very honorable 10 Mr..
Hoyt, and entirely excupaory of our character and
reputation from the impudent and malicious charges
attempted TO be brought against us by Mackenzie
We had no locks 10 break-no deal chests 10 force
open-no sacred rights OF private property TO
violate, In order 10 obtain these letters. We
found them yesterday, amongst our private
papers and journals, and IN OF them
are furnished, most OPPORTUNITY, with the means Of
al once indicating our character from gross and
sianderous asperslons, and convicting this Mac
kenzie OF a most malignant and unprncipled at
tempt TO blacken our reputation. The postscript of
this remarkable letter, which is dated the 10th of
August, 1893, and addressed 10 me at Philadel-
phia, is as follows 1.-THE Branch Bank sent their
card to-day to the Banks in Wall street for $500 900
specie" This was the letter to which ! wrote the
reply published amongst the other letters with my
signature in Mackenzie's pamphlet the postscript of
which is thus given in that pubcation-ssThe $500
IN specie I'll put into my big gun, and give the IT, s.
Bank and stockholders broadside. irish vou
loould let knoio any other U. S. Bank movements
IN your city. This is the battle ground of Bank
contests-here is the field of Waterloo New York
IS now only the Pyrennees." Was ever
clearer case of wilful and malicious misrepresen-
taon than is thus discovered in the construction
put upon the postscript of my letter by Mac
kenzle? 1t may possibly have been that by mistake
wrote 5000" instead of 1920, 900" but the know
ledge now possessed Of the character of Mackenzie
does not at all initiate against the suspicion that he
may have wilfuIly erased the ciphers At all events
whatever way that may bet is quite mmaterial
SO far as the original facts of the case are concern
ed-our character and reputation are thus triumph
antly indicated 1t is made clear as MONDAY that
that,x baJ
which Mackenzie impudently puts forth, is foul
and baseless SANDER We never received one
iarthng from any of those politicians with whom
we were connected during that period. 1t is very
true we desired loan of $4,000. and solicited the
aid OF Mr.. Hoyt In procuring it for us But even
that we did not get. We did obtain the loan, but il
was from friends not connected with either of the
political parties, and the was in due time repaid
with interest.
This is but sample of the manner in which we
will drag to the light of day all the hidden things of
darkness connected with these Mackenzie de-
velopments, and by the simple statement of facts
every one OF which we can substantiate repe the
assaults made upon our reputation during our con-
necton with the leading politicians of the democra.
TIC party, between 1924 and 1S3i-a stirring and
markably eventful period OF ten years. So far as
we are concerned, II must be pure malice on the
part OF Mackenzie which prompts his attacks and ac-
tuates his conduct. Since his arrival in this city
we have always been ready to serve him when we
considered his purposes and motives to be good
The pains which he takes TO falsify and misrepre-
sent the letters which he publishes and to excite pre-
ludces against us, must be attributed TO the pure ma
Lightly of the man.
This much to-day by way of anticipation In to-
morrow's paper we shall proceed with deliberate
careful, and historical review of the whole subject,
including the highly interesting and important cor
respondence of Mr.. Hoyt, which we have lust
brought to light, and which will materially aid us in
our labors.
