- Campbell P. While, Levi Woodbury, Silas
Wright, Sawuel Voun?, and their friend and
political associates, by Wm L. Mackenzie; Cook
The writer is a diajinguished Loco Foco, one
of the political refugees, whom Mr. Van Huren
and others pelted after the Canadian rebellion,
arid introduced to public consideration in this
Stat. He published for some tune a weekly
paper in this City. In Canada, he filled a large
place in the public eye, and this book will make
hint fill a yet larger plac in the United Slates
No work that has been printed here, .will have
so (rreat t run-: for it introduces usat once into
ihe very bosom of Loco Focoism iif lli'if 'Sla'tfi "of
New York from 131ft up-io 16;W, and dcvelopes
a species of political charlatanry and Machiavol--tau,
the like of which has. never, been . pamlkipd
n earth.
The main body of this book consists of private
letters which have passed between some of the
prominont men, whoso names are given above
Mackenzie says :
w'The safety of the State, which is uperior
to every other consideration, makes it necessary
to use all possible means to unmask the. machina
tions of treason, that the dreadful eff.-cts may be
preveuted. Papers, therefore, may be taken
possession of, and letters intercepted, as warlike
stores are secured, (hat the designs of the con
spirators may be made known to those whom they
would belcay, and frustrate."
Wo do not give in to thia logic, but the writer
goes on to justify himself by "the seizure of the
Glentworlh papers," the publication ol Mr. Chv's
private letters, and other like authorities. The
writer, also saya :
Mrs?Cambreleng8 views of ihe sanctity of con .
ndantjal correspondence, may e reaemy interrou
from he contents of the following letter, mirkcd
"private," addressed to hU Iricnd, Mr. Jedsc
Hny1t New York, from Washington, and d.ited
May 19th, 1833.
" Dear H .
I bave seen a copy of W ' PRIVATE
letter to Clayton. It is a deliberate BUT CON
FIDENTIAL attack on m, an.l was designed t
coax the Judge to favor him, which w.nsof course
tepclled. W does not know the Jiol-je tio;c
acofvofit. IT'S A ROL IN PICKLK, and
will expose some small contradictions of his pre
senJ statements and show some litilo duplicity.
The Judge can te.'l him that ho found my state
ment of the Webb anJ Noali case too moderate,
and that he wrote it over himself.
l)on mention about the letter to Ciaylon he
will probably publish it. The Bunk wtllome up

" President Butler's manifesto, referred to in the
, preceding letter, as a part of his " budget of ways

was as follows : .
From the Sandy Hill Tjwes, July 2, 1819
The following communication ou tho subject of
tho Bank in llus place may be relied upon as
coming iroin an (yxuii source.
For the Tint s.
Washington and Warken'Basw, The ex
citeoient in relation to the paper of tbe Waohing
ton and. Warren Bank, beginning to subside, per
haps, it may not be il'ltimed to request the atten
tion of Uie public to a few prominent points, con-
nccted wiih the operation and character of tha
institution. 'J nesuuilen and unexpected sucpen
sioQ of navment aubar Exchange Bank, together
witi other causes, produced, very naturally, strong
uspiciona of the solvency or the vasbington
and, Warren Bank which were greatly increased
by tht roalisiousnees, prophecies and slanderous
. report oT persons who regarded ita success with
jealousy and hatred. The coixwquohce was, lite
rapid and-vexatiou return ofUts notes, accom
panied with demands for specie, or for such bank
paper as m equivalent thereto. . Mf. Barker,
loreseeinp this result, and fearing that the bank
might not ba abb: to withstand th first shock, al.
though confident of ultimate success, very fairly
assured the public, in hi address to them, that
j tho Wsahi'ngtoo and Warns, notea would all bs
paid withm tixiy nays, wimoui promising
bank would not bo compelled to suspend, for a
short period, the payment of ita note, It was
found, however, that a course so unpleasant and
distressing was unnecessary, and thai the tank,
by resorting to Us legal rights, $ofar as it respect
brokers and oilier bankst would bo able to ride out
tho ga lei and that loo without pressing those that
owe Ihe bank. JUia continued, and will con.
limit its redemptions, and is abundantly obit to pay
all debts, to the 'uttermost farthing ' The debts
due to the bank amount to more than double their
notes in circulation, and those debts are perfectly
secure there is perhaps scarcely'one that will
not ultimately be collected. How then can any
one be a loser by the Bink J , V
" It is true that the Bink has not extonded to
speculators and bank agents, that prompt accom
modation which, under flourishing Circumstances,
would probably have been nffordod j'and it is also
true that it has been engage'd, and t'T s now
engaged in the paymenU of small specie, J Jl to per
sons of that description; but jt must always be
remembered, thai the Farmers, Mechanic, i raret
lers, ami 'J'radesn"n, who have presented its bills,
have b(cn paid in tlte most prompt and liberal man
ner. It must alo be borne in mind, tint tho
pressure of ths limes would of itself be a sutlicioiil
excuse for ninny things, which, at a more pro
pitious moment, would be deemed inconsistent
with the rules of fair and honorable business;
ami above a?1, that the enursa .pursued in tins
partifulariuatancc J adopted for the express pur.,
pose, not or injuring, but of indommfving the pub
lic, THE BANK IS ABLE TO PAY, and in
tends to pay its notes, but it supposes th tt the honest
yeomanry, who comprise the " bone and gristle" of
tbje land are entitled to every accommodation, in
preference to greedy speculators ami arrogant
moiiied aristocracies Those too who have "poisoned
the chalice" have no reason to complain, if with re
frilhitite justice it is "presented l their lips ;" nor
even if they are compelled to taste a na tion of its
contents.

that" the Bank wili go on paying ti a slow way,"
Si,:-, to. ile-iti'.ifiie lloyi has inserted in the
Albany Daily Advertiser an "extract from a letter
dated Sandy Hill, June 20ih." which Butler
writes him (July 2'J;h,") which Duller wriieshiin
(July 3.1) " was well tuned." The 'extract' is as
follows:
"The run upon lh bank still continues, but tho
alarm in this part of t tie country is wholly sub
sided. 7Vie appearance if Mr. Barker in good
health and spirits among vs. satisfied the people
lha! the Washington and Warrem B-ink would
sustain no loss by his temporary suspension. All
are delighted with the accommodating disposition if
Mr. Butler, the President. When there were
more calls than lie could satisfy with his own
hands, he called in his neighbors to assist linn in
paying. And when there were more than all
could attend to, he requested those persons that
came with the lulls, to lay tnein down tinu lane
as many dollars in specie as ihey left in bills, and
retire to give room for others. Many came and
saw 'lie counter loaded down with gold and silver,
and went away satisfied that all was well, ami
that Handy Hill was not without its 'grains of
gold.' - You in.iy tell your Albany banks that ihey
had better Le a little more sparing o.f their de
nunciations, for their own vaults may have to
atone for the e,ns of their keepers. ' Sell all the
goods you can for these notes. But you had better
n,t send up until tho alarm has pfovt'd ground
less, as you may be trod on in ihe crowd. When
you do send, however, you will always have the
prefeience over brokers in being watted upon, f. r
we do not much atlmire those leeches upon the
'body politic' in this part of the country:"
On the Oih of February following, the notes of
the Washington and Warren llanU were selling
iii this City at 37J cents on the dollar ; on the 4:1a
of March, 33 cents. Mr. Butler was notilied by
Jacob Barker about this time that his salary as
President could not be paid much longer, so he
resignedf the Presidency.

Senator Marcy to Mr. Jesse Iloyl, New York.
Private Albany, 18tl Oct. 1832.
My Dear Sir Your letter of Monday evening.
I received this morning, and with it a brWue"
from the South, which gives some of our folks a
chill. '
The opposition pretend to have certain infor
mation that Kitner is elected.
.Though we do not yield, to this beliff, still we
are less confident than we were yesterday of Mr.
Wolfe's election. ;' '' "'"
As lo the pantaloons affair, perhaps I am not
the person best qualified to advieo.
Though tbe charge was right in itself, yet it
must be regarded as an unfortunate one, because
so easily turned into ridicule.
i showed your production to Flagg ho thought
ft'tory wellj but seemed to think it was a liale
too formal. Tho enemy will have tbeir laugh,
but I hope it wilt not do much mischief.
The true explanation is simply this -
When Comptroller, I had al ways made war on
lumping charges, because 1 was satisfied many
.frauds against Ihe Stale had been perpetrated by
luem. , ,
' Tbe law provided the payment of the Judge
expenses in holding the Special Circuit. I kept
a particular account of ihe in, which waa banded
to the Comptroller.
While on this businesa some work was done
on Pantaloons, for which the Tailor charged 50
cents f it waa entered on tbe account, and went
into the Comptroller' hands without particular,
reflection bow it would appeal in p?int..i. k
I fearedno danger, for Ikneietiosin.'
I cannot advise haw it it best In lreUiht tuhfecl.
The article in the Argus, headed, 4 very
grate affair," J perhaps as lull an explanation as
the transaction will admit of. - But it will bo well
Id connect it, if much must be eid un it. with the
great frauds aud peculations of Ilolley, VanT"y!

Now as to my War services, (a more .agreea
ble subject,) I was out two campaigns m lbl2

ty which took from the enemy at St Regis the
first stand ot colors 'taTieti in the late war, ort land,

' These prisoners were taken In a house built
of square limber. I personally headed the par
ty that took them myself broke open the house,
entered H, and look from the hands of the eol
diets their arms, &c.
I care not how much this matter is handL'd,
hut rather would let my Pantaloons alone. I re
turn your remarks. Yours, &c. W. L MARCY.

, Albany, Nov. 29, 1332. !
I'
T)eajiSrNotliing is inoTi li-ue than the ob--servatioh
made by Mr. Van Buren at the Demo
cratic "fe'siival : that the Democratic party, in a
great measurf, dive tbeir present and previous
victories to Tammany HaH, the place of concen
trated opinion and action, and a rallying.point ttf
the douioeraoy otie city. or word lo that elloot.
There cannot ho a doubt but that the budding of
that Hall, and thus far preserving it as a Party
Establishment, and a rallying place on all occa
sions for tho Republicans of the City and sur
rounding C iuniies, has been one of the means of
our triumphs.
I wasona of the Committee who purchased the
ground made- tho contracts for building and
raised ihe money to pay for it..
The opperaions of that Couirtiiitee ardious and
responsible, as during iho progress of the .work
they were frequently compelled to raise consid
erable sums on the responsibility of their own
names. The whole establishment cost about
55,UW,; all of which sum was subscribed by in
dividuals of the party except SH,000(if I recol
lect right) andTfor which last sum the premises
are now under mortgage.
If the party proprr'y estimated the benefit it Ins
rece.ved from the establishment, this debt would
have been cleared off by subscription long since;
but such a result, perhaps, is not to be expected.
A thought lias therefore occurred to mc, ajid
which it is the object of this letter lo communi
cate ; whether the extinction of ibis debt may n'ot
be ett-eied by obtaining the CHARTER OF A
BANK, by ihe name of THE TAMMANY
BANK.
Tiiere cannul be a more favorable period than the
present for such an application.
The large majority we have in both Houses
and the good feeling evinced by the Country to
wards US consequent on the lariro vote given by
the Citv to the lieuiocratic candidate's, together I
with the important object of reliV-vino; Old Tain,
many from its embarrassments, WI TH OTHER
CONSIDERATIONS, I should presume would
carry the bill through triumphantly.
The following plan of a liaiii:, I think, would
efP'C.l the object.
The soi iny of Tammany to be PRIVILEGED
to subscribe for $ 10 000 of the stock.
The capital to be FIVE HUNDRED THOU
SAND DOLLARS AT LEAST.
Til-; bank to be authorized to loan the amount
on their bond, at an interest of tlirep percent per
annum, the loan to he for three or four years.
If the Punk divide six per' rent on its stock,
the SOCIE TV would received THREE TIlOlJ
SAND" DOLLARS annually over and above the
interest on the loan, which in three years, would
amount to $0,000.
In the mean lone the.h'ot k would advance in
value, and if sold at the end of three or hur years,
would probably be worth ten per cent, above par,
netting a clear g un of SI 0,000, by which opera
tion the Society would be put into possession of
.$10,000, a fund more than suflicionl to clear off
the incumbrance.
My opinion you no doubt know is in opposition
In an increase f tbe ISanhing Monopolies in
the City but the Legislature WILL make them
and iherefore IF WE must have them. thre
cannot be a more legitimate object to be effected,
boih in a parly point of view, as well as the char-

"To Jesse Hoyt, M. M. Noah, Sariiuel Gonver?
neur, Walter Bowne, William P. Hallett,
Samuel Swarlwout, Cornelius VVr Lawrence,
James A. Hamilton, and others :
Gentlemen When F- 1 &tair,sq- was in
this city, you each subscribed a certain amount,
for tbe purpose of furnishing him wUJi a PrUit
ing Press. t
" At the meeting of his friends on triat occaston,
Ihe subscription was short of the amount required
but I well recollect the Pledge you made,
which was, that the Press should be furnished
and paid for, and that he might , rest assured of
its being forwarded as soon as it could be pro
cured. The pres has been sent to Mr. Blair, under
the direction ot some ot the subscribers, and
$1370 paid on account of it; the balance duel
the maker is &G52 50, for which he has cCTu'-i
the
nienced suit ga,tnst mo.
' As I did not either contract with, or have any
thing to do with Mr. Hoe, the maker of the Press,
except my exertions in collecting tne subscrip
tions, and paying them over, I shall of course se
sist'tbe payment of it.
! i It appear lo mi tliat t&ts matter ought not to be
eubjected loan investigation in a Court of Justice.
Mr. Hoe should be paid for ibe Press and I think
ihe gentlemen who pledged themselves lo Mr.
Blair, are, tit tenor bound, to pay iimnediate at
tention to the abject ;
' I therefore iiiggest that yog meet for th par.

New York. Private. If'UVv 2 1:1), 1831
My Dear Sir 1 thank you for all the news (bad
enough most of it) in your several letters and
most heartily concur with you in all the censures
and three-fourths of tho abstract notions you ut
ter in them As for supposing that NewbolJ,
George Griswold, St3phen Whitney, or, any of the
old federal commercial men, were with us on this
occasion, for any'other reason but because they
found it for their interest to go with us, I never
for one single instant hid each an ttinvanaiita.
die idea.
As for mvself. I have NEVER doubted that
THE PRESENT Bank ought IT BY ALL
MEANSxS to be put down but, on the other
hand, lutre never been perfectly satisfied that We
could get on with the business of the country without
SOME SUCH AGENT. But Mr. Tant y thinks
we can, and 0"ie is the-judge. Mr. Gallatin
also once told me we could urni am desirous TO
TRY IT ; because if we can get on wilh.wl
any of this machinery I think it best to dis
pense with it, for it always has been, aiid always
will be, abused, no matter who controls it, we or
our enemies.
Come what will, toe must adhere to the Pres' I
policy FOR THE PRESEN T, even if it sends
us all into the minority. It would be belter to go
ten years-into the minority than to re-charter
THE Bank, or make a new one NOW.
Truly yours, B. F. BUTLER.

My Dear Sih:--I can scarcely suppose It
possible that .1 could have written any letter lo
authorize the paper you have enclosed to mo, and
I feel deeply mortified that any ono should have
authorized a publication in a newspaper. May I
beg the favor of you to request the person to
whom it was directed to return it to me, or at least
not to circulate it, and if any one should speak of
the contents of my letters please mention that 1
had repeated to you, that my letter were only in
tended for those to whom they were directed.
1 cannot imagine who could have received the
letters alluded to. 1 have no idea any compro
mise is thought of by either political party.
It is my individual opinion that A NATION
AL BANK with prtrprr reslrictinns ami subject to
Slat Taxes, d-c. WOULD BE USEFUL TO
THE GOVERNMENT AND COUNTRY,
and I know there are other individuals in Con
gress of lint opinion, and that is almost as much
as I do know.
Respectfully, your friend,
