US, to thirty thousand persons weekly, the claims
of his father to be made President of the United
States, mainly by the North, whom it has been
the business of his and his fathers, to abuse
and calumniate, may perhaps be gathered, with
some distinctness, from the following letters. pub
lished in pamphlet, entitled Lives and Opin-
ions of Benjamin Franklin Butler, and Jesse
Hoyt," &c, by W. l. Mackenzie, 1915, PIP 60,
Ga pamphlet which the persons interested
vainly endeavored at the time to suppress by an
injunction in Chancery.
No. l. John Fan Buren TO Jesse Hoyt at Ne,o
York:
Why God On you, Jesse, buy NV stock and
draw upon me at sight.
You must be poor bitches down there, if you
cannot raise this two penny sum.
If the stock has gone up, let it go to Hi.
The Bank will come up against the Safety Fund
Banks and depress stocks-the Governors meas
will eventually relieve the country.
Yours, truly. J. VAN BUREN,

man left with me, to let you know that l am a
bout unhappy d you would wish to
see-from the fear that you have purchased me
some Patterson r. r. Stock, on which l am to
lose large sum of money.
l see that on Wednesday it fell off at 81 which
is or per cent lower than it was when I au-
thorized you to buy for me.
I know nothing of the - sforl eycept
that Bremner dealing in it, and it had been
rising for month, and hardly thought my buy
ing would knock it down forthwith.
Perhaps it viii 60 still lower and may be worth
nothing for all l know. If so, and if l own any,
sell if you think best, and let me lose the present
difference.
If get out of this job, you may consider me
discharged, cured as the Cholera reports read

Mr.. Hoyt, at New York.
No. o. My Dear Hoyt-They say the
blood of the Martyrs is the seed of the Church.
and heaven knows l have been freely tapped on
the good cause THE REM [removall OF THE
DEP. [depositsI cost fortune, and now l
don't see but | must lose another hunk of my lit
tie earnings.
My impression is that stocks will go up till
election, and fall Immediately after. If the poor
Wings could carry constable somewhere and get
up Jubilee, stocks would rise New Jersey nay
go for them, and give them a flip-but Penna
will knock them stiff next week-so will Ohio
and so will New York.
If you could get the difference bet on Marcy
| should say sell by all means-and any how
don't know but you had better sell. Do exactly
as you see fit. | shall be down before it falls due
pTobably-mean time should be most particu
larly obliged to you, if you get me an even
bet against Marcy to any amount less than FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS
l think / would bet 500 on each 1000 major
ity up to 5000.
I would bet ST 500 against $1,000 on an even
election
l consider Marcy's election, by from 1900 to
$4,000 majority, as sure as GOD.
You know best how much the Patterson is
worth and you must do exactly if it your
own, and l shall be satisfied.
Yours truly, J. VAN buren,.
Post mark, Albany-addressed to Mr.. Hoyt, al
New York.
NO 1Ol My dear Jesse i should think you
right about selling the Patterson, if it VIII not dc
10 hold
By the looks of Webb's paper, (although it is
intended no doubt to operate on New Jersey,) the
opposition gained confidence. Can you tempt
them with tcager 3-4-and 5000 najorities
$500 on each-or $500 on 1000?
If neither of these can be got tomorrow, BET
them $500 on 5000 majority
There will be no betting after tomorrow
Save the order for Bos and Prov open-the
Mob. is all right.
We have nominated a strong ticket, though
Livingston (Ned) is the Assembly man, contrary
TO all expectation. Yours ever truly,
J. VAN BUREN,.

We wonder who Mr. John Van Buren's CORES
pendent in Boston is now, making his bets fol-
him. We should be glad to know how much he
expects to win, this time, when the Wings are
knocked stiff" Mr. Charles Sumner the other
day, depicted to the worthy Pilgrims down al
Plymouth, I" the angels of Heaven bending over
that good old man the banks of the Hudson;
meaning the old man who franked his son 5
disappearing stock jobbing and gambling letters
when the object of both father and son was to
@brag" the Wings out OF an election, and fool PEG
pie out of their money.
There is good deal of the tone of these let
tiers in Mr.. John Van Burens late speech at Fan
euil Hall AT any rate, certain freshness in hi.
manner, and an occasional rowdyism IN the turr
of his phrases and thought, not deemed al o
gether respectable in altogether good taste, by
many persons among has audience Perhaps ever
