Is 70 few persons can these lines be
more applicable than to Martin Van
Buren,. Many persons on reading his
letter will have them brought to mind
Until we perused it we had no idea that
he supposed his nomination in 1914 would
have been followed by his election. Yel
1t Is evident that such is his belief now,
and no doubt was then. 1t is consequent
Iy proof that men Of sagacity are often
short sighted as to themselves. WHY,
Martin Van Buren, if he had been nomi.
mated, 10 1874, would have been beaton
far scorse than be was in, lS40. The
leaders, so called, would have worked
for him, might and main, but the "mass-
es" that he thinks were for him, would
haze given him most signal overthrous.
Not one, or two, but dozens of the rank
and file, in this vicinity, had declared to
US that they should vote against him
They said he had been President once.
and that was enough, and they would go
tor another man. Clay even, would
have got their sufirages ia preference to
him. fs ri
Mr.. Van Buren,, it seems. thinks he
could have been elected. He says, in
effect, that he was entitled to the nominal
tioDn as the people wished in him to vim
qicate the. measures be had advocated
Yet the friends of. Lewis Cass had the
temerity to bring his name forward in
opposition to him. And being thus
brought forward he (Mr. V.B. was de.
feateG, and MIR. Polk was nominated ~
That fact he has treasured in his heart,
and waited, as be supposed, for his time.
MIR. Polk was not,entered, against him at
the outset. Yet the man who was enter
ed, and who had in every respect, and by
every rule of fairness and honor, as good
right to- be a candidate as hmself-+
against that man he has treasured his
hate. And now that that gentleman has
been fairly nominateG-that his services,

In two points of view this letter is a
weak one.
TIE first, in showing the great mis-,
take in Judgement of the writer, for we
do not believe that one person in fifty,
the country over. will agree with him. in
his agreeable delusion that he might have
been chosen Chief Magistrate in 1914 it
he had been nominated. The other is;
the display of revenge which he makes.
and which will cause far more to grant it
than ever did before. that the charges
made by his opponents, that he was
selfish, heaTtless man, have more truth
in them thaa they have been willing. TO

that he expired in an hour Afterwards
W. understand that Balm came to the

was in heated condition, and bore evil
dence Of falling. Those engaged in burn
ing the lime gave warning 10 the poor Jun
fortunate, but be heedlessly persisted in
remaining where. be was The hands left,
and in half an hour afterwards the kiln
fell, covering the wretched sufferer with
its still burning and red hot ruins. He

most shocking manner--the flesh sepa-
