The New York herald., 1851-11-01

Of those letters, and acco ompanleo oy uieno, (uom
5. C.) called at No. ll3 Beekman street, In this
city, where d. and G.. had requested their letters to
be directed, and, after making full inquiries, OBJ
tanned the following certificate from the very re-
spec able proprietor of the iron store at that
number whose name is afixei to Il. Mr.. John H.
Keyser whose name is mentioned in the certificate,
formerly occupied the same store. Being informed
that he had received letter from ID. or U. called
upon him, but he declined communicating to me
ythDg at all explicit, or certain, or definite 30
that could thereby be aided in pro scouting my in
quiries. Mr.. n is, believe, secretary of the Land
Reform Association In this city, at any rate lead
ing man OF that party, aud was active in the pro-
ceedipgs at Tammany Hall, had few weeks age,
for the purpose of eecting ANAL lgamation of the
land reformers and abo tioRsts free soers and ef
old hunkers, and all other sorts and kinds of people
willing to be called democrats, and, it turned
out, TO promote the nomin alton of the Hon. Isaac
p. Walker for the Presidency. / presume that he
might, If disposed, throw some light on the where
abouts and ilho abouts of Donaldson and Greer, If
they are real persons, and, il not, who probably
contrived the correspondence, if it is hoax.
When the letters were first published, had
no suspicion that any of them We're not true and
genuine, and am now entirely satisfied that those
published as written by General Commander, OF
South Carolina Samuel Treat, Esq of Mo-;
Hon. VIM. X. King, Of Alabama; f. CrosweI,
Esr; B. +. Hallett, ESQ VIM. +. Richie, Esq of
Virginia Robert Strange of North Carolina MIR.
Giddipgs ard MIR. Chase, OF ONO; ex PRESIDENT
Van Buren, and the Others published as addressed
to Donaldfon and Greer, are all authentic. The
~
stsrce disputed the authenticity Of the letter, i'm
puted to them, and several have admitted it. |
do not yet know that the letters of Donaldson and
Greer are fictitious, though the circumstance that
they do not come forth ana sho themselves is quite
Suspicious, and also the fact that they do not call
for the letters addressed to the remaining at the
Astor House, Without having had anything TO do
with the publication in the HERALD, and sithout
spy come ,tion with, or relation 70, yCur paper,
authorizing any attempt at Interference as to such
publication, do not hesitate to avow my gratiica-
g. rI-rt th0co
Of the three or four gentlemen first named above,
are, in nv Judgment, highly creditable to their
authors and, indeed, all Of the batch are useful
trust, if there are any Others et they viii be made
public. They must tend TO satisfy the Southern
de mocracy as TO the folly, wi,kedness, and degra-
dation Of couI tenancilg an amalgation with what
is called the Northern democracy, in the next Pre-
sdential election. The developement and exposure
of the project Of fraternizing the Southern and
Northern democracy, In baltimore Convention,
by adopting half dozen humbug resolutions and
calling Them a platform, must be salutary. | do
not believe the Southern democracy can be hum
bugged into sustaining any candidate that ex-P;e-
sident van Buren, Hon. }. X. Giddipgs, Senator
Chase, of Ohio, or Sen ator Sumner, Of Massachu-
setts would agree to support. If the Southern de-
mocraey are wilrg to do SO, they deserve to be
cheated and / hope tkey may be cheated, aud |
am certain they will be cheated. Some intriguing
asprsnts in The South may be willing to sell her,
TO attain their selfish and ambitious ends; but the
asses Of the southern people of both parties, do
hope will not be BAN mboozled by platforms and re-
solutions manufactured to order, to suit all pur-
chasers and markets, by irresponsible caucuses and
hucksteIipg Office seekers The mere circumstance
that some three four hundred professional po-
lticsl brokers assemble at Baltimore, and bap-
tie this or that man, they can make the best
trade with, the regular nominated democratic
in 1852, south Of Virginia. If the democracy
CT Georgia, Alabama, &c, are weak enough
to herd IN a national convention with Massa-
ehusetts and Vermont, &c (Mr. Hallett, of Bos-
ton, says truly, Massachusetts, " is q mere cipher
in the next election so FAR as the democratic
party are concerned)-if the Southern democracy
consent to combine with states confessedly free
coil and whg, and look to ofisial plunder
more than to princis sles and their own honor, and
allow them to vote In such convention q demo-
cratic States, they ought to be kicked and cu6ed,
and spat upon. If any body has any idea that
Massachusetts Will vote for any candidate but Mr..
Webster, despite all the exertions Of his enemies
there ana else where, they know very little abou:
her or her people-they will vote for him against
any other Union whg or against any free soil whig.
As there is no probs bility OF Mr.. Webster beiag
the deme cratic candidate, Massachusetts has no
right TO a seat in the Democrats National Con-
vention. She will not bring any troops to Troy,
Whether the authors Of the Donaldson aGd
Greer correspondence are waggish or mischievous
yhigs, or malicious wings, or some funniy disposed
literary free nggers fugitive slaves Of this city,
as has teen hlnted, or some free soil democratic
politicians, some may regard as an unimporsant
pquiry. do rot / trGs; the authors wll be
tTlet.ed out, especially If il be hoax IL they
are wings dent blame them, and, indeed, give
them credit for the pleasant joke, and particularly
they are rarely guilty OF such sin. IL IS Ia Eful
tor them TO gull tie democracy if they can, and
especially the wise men Of the party. But an in.
ciIned 10 think the wings had little or concern
in IT, thiLk you do Mr. Thurlow Weed injustice
in sscribing il to him, adrOi, he is in "a mat
ters. One reason have for believing this is not
a whig csntriySnoe, is, as lesra from the best
auhoilty, that blfOre the correspondence given
10 the HERALD II sas offered 70 distinguished aud
fh~f &s Co Lral ard
state TO uke against the democratic patty, aud be
spurned using IT. My opinion is, that If the thing
Is hoax, it Is the prod action Of kno. Of intriguing
fee soil and land reforming political ticksters, cali
leg themselves democrats, IN and about this city,
