Revolution, he turned, towards the close of
his second term, his attention to the just
demands of our citizens against the Re
publics of this continent. Beginning with
Mexico, he pressed upon her,with his won
ted energy and hrinness, the prompt ar
ly policy consistent witu the purity of our j rang;omeiit of our claims, daily increasing
Renublicaa system.
The Democratic party has always, from
first to last, arrayed itsslfin stern and in
flexible opposition to a national debt, incur
red for anv other purpose than the immedi
ate defence of the honor and interests of
ii numbers, and some of them having their
origin in those first and early movements In
the Spanish American Stales, which result
ed in their complete emancipation and in
dependence. Although partially supported
by Congress, they did not see ht to sustain
the country, as famishing the ready means him in the recommendation made, at a cril
for extravagant prodigality, forming the pa- ca moment, to enforce, by competsnt
sis of a great paper credit systea, aid im- means, an ijnmediate adjustment upon the
nosing burdens on posterity, as a penalty dilatory rulers who governed Mexico in ra-
for the prodigality of their ancestors. In pid succession. The discussions between
so lavishly cranted has beeu wielded; with
out resort to cither all ihe brilliant results to
which we have alluded hive been success
fully attained.
iior let us forget that while these great
and absorbing questions of foreign policy
were depending all 'the oilier duties con
nected with our loreien intercourse were
lndemmes have
been obtained by Mr. Van Burcn from
Mexico, Texas, Grsat Britain, and Hoi
land;advantagcous commercial treaties have
been completed with the Peru Bolivian
Cnnfederat'un, and with Holland, Greece,
and Sardinia; and beeu agreed upon with
Ecuador and Belgium; and our national
character, and the principles of maritime
law, which we have always maintained,
have been recognised and respected by
France, in her recent contest with Mexico,
and in that which she yet maintains with
the Argentine Republic.
At the commencement of his administra
tion in 1837, Mr. Van Btiren found ths
country excited by he redundancy of paper
money, which had produced a mania of
speculation and overtrading and a conse
quent delusive show of prosperity, which
had no other basis than a system of credit
without bounds of limitation. The United
State. Bank had. during the years 1834 and
'35, thrown wide open the floodgates of
expansion, and either allured or coerced the
opposition, "unquaiiincd ana uncompromis
ing," to the establishment of a National
Bank, as aliko unconstitutional, inexpedient
and dangerous to public liberty; and as the
antagonist of this gigantic instrument of cor
ruption, whose power to confer benefits
heirs no pn.portion to its means nf inflict
ing injuries, it advocates a separation of the
fiscal concerns of Government from the
ilurtnations of the banking system, as c-
the two countiies became more recriminato
ry and acriminoud; and at last, at tho mo
ment of his departure from the head uf the
Government, tho recognition of the inde
pendence of Texas, added to the provious
interruption of diplomatic intercourse, had
produced a feeling on the part of the Go
vernment and people of Mexico so embitter
ed, as seemingly to render hostilities al
most inevitable. In the midst of these dif-
lually ii.difpensiblo to tho independence of Acuities, attended, as they were, by the
w.uo-spreau uuiiicbuc cmoaraasments wn.cu
a disordered currency had produced, the
disturbances in Canada occurred, to awakeu
the attention of the people, and try the firm
ness of the Executive. A civil war raged
in a neighboring country: the population on
each side uf the boundary was dangerously
excited: angry collisions, constantly antici-
tho Government, the safety of the public
funds and the maintenance of a sound and
etablo current-;-.
The Democratic party is in favor of n
faithful adherence to the principles adopted
and carried into successful operation by tho
illustrious Jacksen in tegard to unconstitu
tional objects of internal improvement by
the instrumentality of the General Govern
tuent.
The Demneratic party has, throujh
the vicissitudes of alternate victory and dc
feat, .of depression and exaltation, cherish
a deep, abiding, and undying attachment to
our giorions Union. It has oh all occasions
exhibited a determination to maintain, with
inviolable faith, those great compromises ul
interests on which it is founded, and by a
stern adhertnro to which the proud edifice
can nV-'s wilhsiaud those influence uluch
State banks to follow its example. Under
pretence of administering to tho immediate
prosperty of the conutry, it scattered the
seeds of future embarassment and ruin.
The country suddenly became bloated with
an unwholesome and sickly expansion, and
all men not infected with tho madness of
the limes predicted that this unnatural
growth was but the forerunner of incurable
weakness and premaluio decay.
The fulfilment followed close on the heels
of the prediction. That invariable and im
perative law of nature, which decrees that
all violent excitements all over-wrought ef
forts, whether of body or mtnd, shall be
speedily followed by sodden prostration,
produced its inevitable consequences.
Within less than three months from the
commencement of Mr. Van Buren'a admin
istration, and before he had advised or car
ried into operation a single measure that
quincs, vindictive anu grounuiesa cuarges
and bitter denunciation, which had no oth
or obitct but to aggravate present evils, pro
duce additional confusion, and mitigate the
pant's of defeated malignity.
The firm adherence of Mr. Van Burun
to the obligations of integrity and the be
hests of the law, had forced the great mass
of the bank to resuiuo specie payments.
But experience had tailed to make ihe most
of them wise, nor had n corrected their iu
Fnale, incurable propensity to sacrifice future
security to presnt gain. They played over
the same game; ihe iame predictions of its
ultimate consequences were reaewed, and
the same catastrophe followed. Less than
two years after the first suspension, a sec
ond occurred, lu both the Batik of the U
uited Slates led the way first by its influ
ence, and socondly by its example. A few
honorable exceptions mitigated the ovil in
seme degree; but ihe measure and its con
sequences were the same in both cases, and
the people are now suffering similarevils with
those thai resulted Irorn the first suspesion.
The course of Mr. Van Buren has been
the samo throughout all their vicissitudes
The faith of the Government is still main
lained inviolate. Ho has preserved nearly
the whole of the funds of tho Union fiom
being again artsoroea in irredeemable paper
and, though every additional precaution to
ensure their safety, and every facility for
their transmission, has been uniformly and
successfully opposed by the Opposition,the
public creditors have been every where laid
iu specie or its equivalent. The firmness
of Mr. Van Buren, and the calm, temper
tfrorii the.GMie Wo learn that the Horli
Amos Kendal has resigned the office of- .
Postmastei General, to take eilect as soon
as a successor can be appoii'led. Tho fol
lowing is his letter
TO THE rUBCIC.
Findinir it impbssiblo in consequence of
enfeebled health, to perform the duties of
Postmaster General in a satisfactory man'
ner, I hae resigned that office, to take
effect as soon as my successor can bo ap
pointcdi
Not having beta fortunate enough to ac
cumulate wealth in a public office, I in
under the necessity of resorting to such-
private employment as is suited to my
strength and condition, for the purpose of.
meeting tho current expenses of a consider-'
able Uin.lv.
A few hours each day devoted to the pen'
eaving an abundance of time for relaxation
and exercise, 1 have fonnd by experience
from the excitement of composition; to be"
rather conducive to health than injurious;-
nnd this is the occupation, above all others,-
most agreeable to my tasta and my present'
inclination.
Messrs. Blair and Rives have kindljr
offered me the profits of such subscription
to the Extra Globe Tor the present season,
as may bo raised on my account, and I
have consented to contribute to it until
November next, if such a number of sub
scribers shall be obtained as will warrant
that step.
I am the more inclined to this devotion
of my time from a desire to prevent any
misconstruction of the motives which havs
led to ray resignation. I wish to satisfy
the whole world that no riissalislaction wits
the President or his adminictrulion, no in
disposition to render it the utmost snpport
in my power, no distrust ot its measures or
its designs, has had any effect in dutermia-
iug me to prefer a private to a public sta
tion. Ui. ihe contrary, my conbdence in
the President, in his integrity, his princi
ples, and his firmness, have increased from
the day I was first officially nssociated wills
him; my relations with every member of
his Cabinet have been uniformly of a. saoit
friendly character; and my devotion to the
great measures which have been, and .till
arc, sustained by the administration, knows
no abatement. The leading principles a
vowed by the President I look upon is es
sential :o the pre. ervalion of liberty and a
Government of the people; and if I had
supposed that my resignation could ndan
ger their success, I should have clung to of
fice as 1 would to life.
As sooh as the necefsary arrangements
arc made, proposals with a moro extended
address, will bo piescntcd to the tnends oi

alo wisdom of his measures, have thus far
overcome every obstacle and truraphed over
all ihe eltorts ot an opposition, more active,
moro inveterate, more powerful, and more
unscrupulous as to means and ends, than
auy preceding Democratic Administration
ever iiad to encounter.
These results; it should be recollected,
were produced not only without the slight
est addition to lite public burdens, but dui
ing a peiiod in which the people have been
relieved from moro than one hundred and
seventy millions of indirect taxes, which
would have been required under the high
tariff of 1828. This reduction is still in
progress, while, at the same lime, Mr. Van
Buren is sedulously employed in bringing
about a corresspondinjr decrease of the pub
lie expenditures. Thus in 1838 they fell
below those of 1837, tho appropriations for
which latter year were made before been

President, having Rejourned after declining
lo nominate for the Vice Presidency, I con
sider myself authorized to interfere in that
question so far as I have been made person
ally interested in it.
The Union party in Georgia, which did
me the honor, very unexpectedly, to make
an unconditional nomination of'me for that
office, last year had iJio kindness, in con-
fotmny to ray wishes, to change that nom
ination into an expression oi preterence,
and to refer the subjest to the decisiun
of those who were expected, fairly rep
resenting their political friends, to decido
upon it.
No decision having bean made, union
and concert of action aro not now to be an
ticipated. According to- the present state
of things, no friend of the Administration
can hope for an election by the people.
The more fortunate can be thrown- only
high enough on the electorial poll to secure
the chance of being chosen by the Senate..
Whoever succeeds, then; will occupy his
place with the perfect luiowledgo that lio'
owes his elevation lo tho partiality of i
fragment of his own party, and holds iv
against the decision of a majority of his fel
low-citizens.
Withhold the sustaining power of pub
lic approbation, and ihe honor and emolu

and particularly in this, are hut poor recom

threatened a fierce and prolonged war.
While yet this storm of passion on the
Northern fruntier rema'ned unsubdued, the
occurrences on the boundary of Maine sud
denly arose, and seemed to render the poli
cy of the Administration still more difficult,
have heretofore proved fiul to confederated I and to destroy every hope of preserving

Such are tho great fundamental principles
which ronituuie the political creed of the
Dmocjatic party. Has the em'nmt citi
