A LETTER FROM EX-PRESIDENT MAR.
TIN VAN BUREN,

The following letter, (says the Union,) like all
the other productions Of Mr. Van Burens pen, is
worthy Of the public attention. I, is addressed 10
the editor CT the Farmer and Journal OF We'd
nesJay las, published al Wilkesbarre, 10 Luzerne
county Pennsylvania. The editor speaks Of
the letter, as well as of lis distinguished author in
The warncsi terms; places Mr.. Van Buren's name
al the head Of his editorial column for President
subject 10 the decision Of the Democratic Nation.
al Convention and declares "lhete are no TWO
statesmen al This time in The Union, perhaps,
whose views and feelings upon most OF The grea,
leading questions OF national policy are 30 CON-
plelely coincideut as MIR. Folks and Mr.. Van
Buren's; and hence The great propIety OF his sue
ceedins MIR. Polk 10 carry out the great measures,
in wise and prudent manner, commenced un-
der Mr. Folks administration, and which have
redounded so much 10 The prosperity OF The peo-
pie and 10 The glory OF the Union"
II is not our purpose al this time 10 moot The
question of The next presidency. Other editors
have, OF course, the righ, to consult their own
judgments, and decide Tor themselves For our
own par, we have marked quito own course too
perfectly and loo distinctly TO make il necessary
Tor Us 10 repeat the reasons which determine Us TO
avoid The subject.
The frs, part OF Mr.. Van Buren's letter relates
10 his being run for The presidency. He wishes
| to remain in retirement He decidedly declines,
on his own account, any support which may be
offered him; and be deems il in the last degree
improbable that any state OF things can occur

objections for private life.

TRIAL OF LIEUT.. COL. FREMONT.


We Yesterday gave the heads OF The charges
against this officer, al The Court Martial in
Washington viz: muliny, disobedience OF or
ders, &c. We subjoin from The National Intel
Iigencer The substance Of those charges, and The
justification of Colonel Fremont. twill be seen
that The trial will have regard exclusively 10
the merits OF The case:
The conduct alleged is made out against The
accused by series oil documentary proofs, show
ing that Lieut.. Col. Fremont, when duly INFORM
ed OF The commission IRON The Government IS
eommauder-in-chie with which Gen. kearny ar
rived in California, refused, BY written replies 10
obey his military orders: and persisted TO act as
military and civil governor Of the conquered Ter
rilory, alleging, as The grounds oil this refusal his
own previous appointment as governor and Cum
mander by Commodore Stockton, and the fact
that The authority conferred on Gen. Kcarny had
become Obsolete by The force oil events DOT looked
10 BY The Government as TO happen until after the
arrival OF Gen. Kearny in the territory The
! chief OF these events was the accomplishment OF
| The CONQUEST OF California, already achieved by
| Commodore Stockton and Col. Fremont. before
| the coming of Gen. Kearny and The troops under
his command.
| Such is the general justification Sc. up by Col
| Fremont He further sustains II IN his written
answers 10 the orders sent him, by alleging that
Gen. Kearny, in the beginning, recognized his
authority. This special plea is on The other
hand, met by The special plea that Col. Fremont
did al first, by formally reporting himself and his
command 10 Gen Kearny, acknowledge his right
10 command.
| The charges, in which these respective claims
are thus displayed by the orders and counter
orders of the Two commanders, show various acs
Of INSTRUMENTATION on The part of Col Fremont
consisting either 10 the refusal 10 obey the orders
addressed 10 him by Gen. KearDy, or In persist.
ing 10 exercise in certain cases the authority oil
commander. in-chief and governor, or in efforts
10 procure other persons in the military and ma.
val service 10 join him in resistance Of General
Kearnys authority.

show him either directly declining, for The rea
