Van Bureaus applications Tor branch Of


the q. s. bank al Albany in 1895.


The following letter upon the above sub
lject is cut from the Globe Of the l9th May.
We suppose therefore it's good evidence.
And the Globe says -..Tne position
described BY Mr, Van Baren, in this letter,
fourteen years ago, as that which he occu-
pied towards The Bank, Is he same BY which
his whole life has been distinguished -


This is little curious. Read the letter
and then think Of Mr.. Van Buren's aposi-
ton upon the subject now.


We presume that every person who signed
the petition for the location of the Branch
Bank at Albany had for his ..sole obiect''
'sto promote the interest Of the city. And
Mr.. Van Buren, like the rest, did not under
take to contend with Mr. Biddle whether
the contemplated location Of branch was
for the interest Of the Bank Or not, he only
wanted it for the qualification Of the citi-
zens sand TO promote The interest of the
city" He signed the application and trans
mitted it to the bank himself But was it
then "unconstitutional'' l''--"odious and iniu-
rious'' ''-"distructive Of the best interests Of
the people and the countryG" Was il then
the forernnner Of evil and ruin9 Was It then
a monsters and was Mr. Van Buren, asking
for the exertion of the balefat influence of
the s'great engine of corruption" anongs.
the 'sgood people,. Of Albany Truly to our
mind here is some slight discrepencyor diff
ference in sentiment between Mr.. Van Bu-
rem in 1926 and Martin Van Buren in 1896
or 40. The Globe seems 10 reconcile the
matter with s'his whole life.o But the rules
8oflogic or ofreasoning by which the deduc-
tons and conclusions are made are not un-
derstood and appreciated By the common
people in this country.
