I saw in it a piece signed, "Davie," which fur impudence takes the rsg oft' the bush. Among other things, tt accuses Martin Vsn llurua of having been against the war. Now, on this charge, I have two remarks to make. The first . is, that the charge is untrue, Sit. Van Buren was not against the war, but was one of the strongest advocates lor it, any whore io be found. Il is true, that, he was for Clinton in preference to Madiann, but he did so on ihe-vwy ground, tliar. he thought Madison did not con duct the war with sufficient energy. Out when Madi son waa re-elected, he supported him and the war with all hi might aud power. The other remark I wish to make, is this i If all signs J dou't fail, the writer himself ot "Davie," was against the war; or it too young then to ao his father and con neclions were against Uie war, and, h himsolf is now, and always has, belonged to the Federal party that was againU the war. Now, how does it look for a man ot tin description to be charging on Van Do ran aa an objection, a thing tlmt is u.rt true, and if it Were true, it is what Uie writer himsolf was guilty of 1 ?
