Mr.. " ooD.
1T strikes US that Mr.. Van Buren, has made
mistake in printing this correspondence subsequent
10 Woods defeat. Ill-Datured people will ask
whether be would have pursued the same course in
case Weed had triumphed, and talk of the want of
generosity involved in striking man (only) after
be i. dowr Mr.. Weed may perhaps complain Of
the violation Of confidence involved in bizoDiDg
TO the world the fact that he personally mportuned
disti1 guishtd speakers 10 attend and address the
meetings held to secure his eectiOn-for NJ one
will p1esune thatM Mr.. Van Buren, was alone comph-
m.nted by one Of these beseechirg missiSes. Bat
cur criticism is OF quite another character.
Mr. Van Buren, is a recognized counselor aud
paspate of the Democratic party. AS such, he
was PERSONALLY invited to attend and address Of
the general meetings Of bis party. Mr.. Wood was
the non inee Of that party for most responsible
public station. He hsd recently promulgated, in
lis official capacity, doctrines which were directly
sid papably calculated to shake the pillars of the
social edfce-to Gil the minds of the needy and
ds,psiiing with hatred of the porous, as crafty
robbers and oppre.sors. Ii Wood in his -four and
potato Message was right, then the property, now
staudIg in the names Of the landlords, mortgages,
bankers and merchants Ct our City, honestly be-
opes in the main to "those who produce every.
thing, yet receive nothing Whist more
natural or just THAI that they, 10 their urgent
need, should reclaim what is justly their own
Mr.. Van Buren,, it now appears, regards and re-
esrded those doctrines as did the great mass Of our
Intelligent and cOnsderate citizens. If he had
,p,ken at Tsmmany Hall on the 23d ult., he must
have frar ky said 90. Well then, why did he no.
ipeokl Was it 40. bis clear duty to do sol Was
not hs stubborn silence calculated TO involve bis
party, through Woods election in the Endorsement
ef those pestileut and perilous dcctrines' Why
wss i. not incumbent on him, as q freeman and
Democrat, to attend the meeting as invited, and
there avow bis convictiors on the issues made up
by Woods nomination. Did he fear that bis
brother Democrats would not tolerate free
speech"i Can any che imagine an excuse for Mr..
Van Burens siler ce that is creditable at once to
lis integrity and his cOurage'
