New Disclosures In the Politics Of the Van
Buren, Democracy.-Mackenzie Convicted
OF Gross and Malicious FaIsehOod and
SANDER.
Tomorrow, we will resume our political history
OF that eventul epoch IN the life of Van Burenism,
between the years 1924 and 1884, and re-pubsh the
letters written by Martin Van Buren,, Jesse Hoyt,
and ourseh, during that period, which have been
given in Mackenzies pamphlet These eplstles we
will give in regular chronological order, Mackenzie
having bunderingly printed them IN confused and
disconnected manner, without any method or ar
rangement, or attention to dates. Our comments
will embrace some exceedingly interesting disclo-
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 eaders-and
the philosophy OF faction BY the aid of this diary
we will be enabled to give some of the most inter-
estlng, curious, and attractive chapters of conte
poraneous history, that ever were written.
Together with the correspondence of Martin Van
Buren, and Jesse Hoyt, which has been published
by Mackenzie, we will give to the world four letters
written to us by Mr.. Jesse Hoyt, which will be
found highly interesting, very honorable to Mr..
Hoyt, and entirely exculpatory of our character and
reputation from the impudent and malicious charges
attempted to be brought against us by Mackenzie
We had no locks to break-no deal chests to force
open-no sacred nights Of private property to
violate, in order TO obtain these letters. We
found them yesterday, amongst our private
papers and journals, and in one OF them we
are furnished, most OPPORTUNITY, with the means OF
md our oh Nd
s,anderous aspersIons, and convicting this Mac
kenze OF a most malignant and unprincipled at
tempt TO blacken our reputation. The postscript of
this remarkable letter, which is dated the 10th of
August 1888, and addressed to me at Philadel-
phia is as follows 1.-THE Branch Bank sent their
card to-day to the Banks in Wall street for 2OOOOO
specie" This was the letter to which wrote the
reply published amongst the other letters with nv
signature in Mackenze's pamphlet the postscript of
which is thus given in that publication-"The $500
IN specie I'll put into my big gum and give the w. s.
Bank and stockholders broadside. cish yo.
couid let me kno,c 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-
tation than IS thus discovered in the construction
put upon the postscript of my letter by Mac
kenzie? II may possibly have been that by mistake
wrote 5000" instead of $4,000, OOO," but the know
ledge now possessed Of the character of Mackenzie
does not at all initiate against the suspicion that he
may have wifuIly erased the ciphers AT all events
whatever way that may bet is quite immateria
so far as the original facts of the case are concern
cd-our character and reputation are thus triumph
antly indicated. Il is made clear as MONDAY that
the lnsinuation that we had received ga bribe.n
which Mackenzie impudenty puts forth, is foul
and baseless SANDER. We never received one
iarthing from any of those politicians with whom
we were connected during that period 1t is very
true we desired loan of $780, and solicited the
aid OF Mr. Hoyt IN procuring it for us Blu, even
that we did not get We did obtain the loan. but il
was from friends not connected with either of the
political partcs and the sum was in due time repaid
with interest.
lhls 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-
veioPments, and by the simple statement of facts
every one OF which we can substantiate, repel the
assaults made upon our reputation during our con-
necton with the leading politicians Of the democra-
TIC party, between 1924 and ls3ia stirring and re-
markably eventul period Of len years. So far as
we are concerned, It must be pure malice on the
part OF Mackenzie which prompts his attacks and ac-
tiates his conduct Since his arrival in this civ
we have always been ready to serve him when we
considered his purposes and motives to be good.
The pains which he takes to falsfy and misrepre-
sent the letters which he publishes and to excite pre-
udices against u.s. 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 MIR. Howl which we have lust
brought to light, and which will materially aid us in
our labors.
