s;a;ons and conduct Of Mr.. Van Buren,
= ,he early stages of the war, We have
.s.son 10 know that they we're not ex.
s.,lv n harmony with the majority Of
ps 'ss neople ofthis state, even Of his own
=" a.r,y al the times for i must here be
pa. .ne 4 mind that d very decided mas
.;ar;,v ofihe representatives in congress
f,on, the state Of New York4-with '0ba>
s;ob German in The senate at their head


voted against the declaration Of war,
:, however, that they held the contest
w. = ba dtSus6 but they believed the
country wholly unprepared for war
st the time, and consequently that
,ba declararioa wss inexpedienr. Such,
aroba5iy. werethe original views Of Mr..
Van Buren-such, certainly, were the
views ofMr Clinton.


Bus the war having been declared, il
;s due 10 Mr.. Van Buren TO say, that no
nubIic man in the state supported it more
ihoroughly, heartily, and zealously
throughout, than he did. Such, we
know, is not the received opinion in ma.
nv pay,s ofthe country, especially in the
distant states; and we frequently see al
,emuts making, in the presses opposed
Il him, 10 render him unpopular BY
charging him with opposition 10 the war
;,self as well as TO Mr.. Madison. But
The chargefs untrue.


Many Of our political friends will
scowI upon US, we know, for our frank.
ness on this occasion. But we care not
for that. ''Jus,ice 10 all men, is our
maxim, and we wish not 10 beat even Mr..
Van Buren, by falsehcod. We have, in
deed, truth enough at onr command 10
do that with.
