ANOTHER LETTER EROM MIR. JOHN
VAN BUREN,.

Mr.. Van Buren, has written another letter on
the subject of New York politics and in yindi-
cstion ofhis own political course. Not having
room for the whole letter, which is quite long
we subioin the concluding paragraphs of it, as
follows:
And now let us turn to our domestic differ
ences. Can the Democrats of New York
unite? If so, they must unite before the
National Convention. They cannot unite in
or after it. The has made very sen.
sible proposition u - but You see how
it is received. TIN Advertiser, your
old associate, now con- Know.nothings,
responds to your offer bysaying you propose to
"hand the State over to John Van Buren, and
his partisansp So far from this, | authorize
you to say, that il the Hards and Solts as they
are called, will form single organization, and
send single delegation to Cincinnati, | will
enter into bonds, with good sureties, not to hold
any Office, State or National, for ten years from
this date, and so far from considering this
privation or sacrifice, | will make the exemp-
ton good consideration for promising to pay
annually for the same PERIOD to the Democratic
State Committee two hundred and fifty dollars
towards the legal expenses of election. i make
this suggestion in entire good faith, and with
sincere desire that it may be accepted, for
whatever may become Of what is called the
National Democracy, and the Presidential
election, am entirely satisfied that the pros.
perity and honor Of the State of New York
depend upon the reunion and restoration to
power Of its betrayed and insulted, but still
brave and sterling Democracy. Let us hear
from you again on this subject.
Yours truly,

Only that the land is cursed with slavery. The

And yet we have in our midst great party
which seeks, as its paramount object, the ex-

Unfortunately for the argument of the DEM

have few, if any, slaves while the lands in

enhaneed-in many cases selling from one

THE MAN OVER THE WAY.u
BY ALFRED W. cuLE.

When man has no business Of his
own to attend to, it is notorious tha he is
very fond of meddlng with his neighbours.
Old half pay officers, naval or military.
unmarried ladies of uncertain age and
small means, widows without encum-
brance-these, and few others, are the
greatest meddlers and busy bodies in crea,
.ion. Young men of small fortune and
no profession are less inclined TO sin in
this respect; but they can scarcely be said
to have nothing 10 do, because thew gen.
erallv have frightfuI amount of mischief
on their hands to perpetrate, and this keeps
them SO well occupied (ill-occupied we
should say that they have not so much

might be imagined.

Are impatient for the day;
And are steaming to the Baltic,

But we'll do our best endeavor,

To convince you of your folly,
We are strong when duty calls,
And since reason will not teach you,
Here's success to cannon balls!
You shall rue the day you roused us,
From the sleep of by-gone vars

But your ugly ice and Sect;
And We | profit by the warning,
And We'll try you with our fleet,
Ere you feel the summer breezes,
You may thank your happy stars
