i
Letter from Mr.. Van Bnren,
IT. Washington Union brought US,
last 1jght, most admirable letter from
one of the great men Of the age, Martin
VanBuren, in relation to the next Pre-.
sidency, and the duty Of the democratic
party in the present crisis Of 1.-THE ooun-
try. The Union copies it from the
Wilkesbarre Farmer, 10 the editor Of
which it was written.
This letter shows Mr.. Van Buren in
tha. disinterested, patriotic light, SO
worthy an American statesman; and
we commend It's admirable spirit and
patriotic precepts TO every lover ol
American honor and the success and
triumph of republican government =
Never. was there q time that required
democrats, worthy Of the name Of
statesman, to throw away ambition
and personal chickering's, as the present.
Every lover Of his county should be
on the alert; that the coming Congress
may not disgrace the time-hon6red
name of the republic, and cast a re-
proach upon the noble triumphs Of A.
merican valor, won by SO much daring
and blood. 1t is a fearful moment
and every day brings the important eri.
sis nearer to termination. Shall Mr..
Polk and his administration be aban.
doned? Shall our army and the noble
souls which compose it, in Mexico, be
cowardly and disgracefully Withdrawn
Shall Mexico, after so many defeats on
the field OF blood, be triumphant in an
American Congress, at Washington
While the stars and stripes float in
proud triumph over the capitol of Mex.
leo, defended by handful Of our dar-
ing countrymen, shall the black flag oi
Mexico be raised from the dome Of the
capitol at Washington? Patriotism for
bids the thought; yet daily and hourly,
is such dishonor threatened us by
those who now, accidently, or by fraud
hold the power in one House. and hope
for an inefficient majority in the other.

nor Importance to the great mass ofthe
party, provided he is sound in heart.
liberal in spirit, true to the democratic
faith, and disposed TO harmonize and
not distract the councils of the demo.
cratic party. Union and harmony
during the approaching session OF
Congress is every thing. The admin.
istration OF Mr.. Polk, and the full sue
cess Of the great democratic measures
of his Cabinet. cannot be sustained by
divided councils, and the time of Con-
gress wasted by distractions or geo.
graphical prejudices. With people
Overwhelmingly democratic, it is burn
ing disgrace that federalism should rule
with their code of anti-repnblican doc
trines, for no other reasons than that
men who desire to be leaders in the
ranks Of the democratic party are able
10 find something to dispute about a
mong themselves. Let each sacrifice
something, for the good Of the whole,
as in '44, when Mr.. Polk was elected,
and federalism, in aOar and in peace, will
soon find its proper level.

bellished at top on one side with the !
