The Yazoo City Whig. [volume] (Yazoo, Miss.) 1844-1851, 1845-10-31

Hall, is at the bottom of the affair, and that
MackenZIe's name is only used as a blind.
RumOr has surmised as the prime instiga>
tor Of the work, NJ. l.. Davis, formerly in
the custom house, the ex.colIector, Hoyt,
himself, OF John Tyler, &c. &c. All specU-
latlOns, of course, as TO who is the real au-
thor, is mere conjecture. The means re-
sorted 10 for obtaining the papers is supposed
TO have been feIonous, and they were abb
stracted from the New York custom house,
in which Mackenzie was clerk, and went
out with Van Ness; he was appointed by
Tyler. The letters are conceded by all the
New York papers TO be genuine. Bennett
acknowledges the letters attributed to him
are the real simon pures; they were written
between the years 1920 and 1888. The
publication has created the greatest excite
nent; the demand for the work is rapacious
the developments manifested by the work
are swarm, leeking, rich"
The letters display set Of tastes and
purposes any thing but moral or creditabIe.
The singular mixture Of piety and humbug
in Dir. Buffers, the strange conglomeratiOn
of profanity and stock tiobbing in John Van
Buren's, and the peculiar qualities of Mar
tin himself, will be much relished by all
parties" Marcy explains that charge, for
patching his pantdlOOns, 20 the u. States.
Butler deplores, whilst president of bank,
the lack of religious institutions and in~
sIuction at his then locality, Sandy Hill,
and then discOurses, in exulting language,
how he prevented gentleman from demand
ing specie for the note he held Of the bank,
by swilling him with wine, &C., &c. This
; correspondence further develops, that Benz
nett and others were fed and paid to write
down the United States bank; and also that
Bennett had been paid TO support V. Buren's
elaine, &c; but upon his refusal to loan
. bin $4,000 in his then distressed situation,
: he dropped him like "hot potatoe.''
5 The other Letters ATE Of various phases,
, mostly showing that they were strongly in
: favor of the United States bank, but were
/. finally induced to relinquish their love for
it for the purpose Of establishing State bank
institutions, opposed 10 Gen. Jackson's ap-
! PoiOtEReRt Of his own particular friends to
office over the heads Of those ''grown grey
: IN the service of the party" Marcy re.
: commends not to "bet on the elections, bui
$ to spend yOur money to promote the elections
| am entirely unable 10 give you the most
imperfect idea OF the richness of the book
You should obtain it, and its parusal will
, give you an insight into the blacklist
D schemes Of tTickery, knavery, political CHS
!. canery, movements, intrigues plots, &c,
&C., ever known in the annals of our Iepub
!, lie. quote from one of the ''palties cor.
Icerned" his own opinion Of his devested
> coadjuiors. Bennett says, s'the only regre
I we have is, that We are found in such baC
company; bat that is the last period of ouI
> life in which we will be found among suct
! miserable politicians; we found them cut il
:. the right time, and viii never be caught il
!. their company again." Are you s:tis6ed!
Some of the New York papers affect
holy horror to publish these letters. In al
such cases they have either been concerne,
or have friends rs deeply in the mud as 9th
le ers are in the miIe. Do these moralists {?
recOllect the stealing and publication of M
Clay's letter to G. M. Clay, in 1914, or tn
s Glentworth papers and publications. o.
