LETTER FROM MR. VAN BU-

REN.

Lindenwald, Aug. 2, 1848. Gentlemen—It has occurred to me that a direct communication of my feelings upon a single point may, in one event, serve to remove embarrassment in your action at Buffalo. You all know from my letter to the Utica Convention, and the confidence you repose in my sincerity, how greatly the proceedings of that body in relation to myself were opposed to my earnest wishes. Some of you have also had opportunities to satisfy yourselves, from personal observation, of the sacrifices of feelings and interests which I incurred in submitting my future action to its control. None of you need be assured of the extent to which these feelings were relieved by the consciousness, that in yielding to the decision of that body, that the use of my name was necessary to enable the ever faithful democracy of New York to sustain themselves in the extraordinary position into which they have been driven by the injustice of others. I availed myself of an opportunity to testify to them my enduring gratitude for the many favors I had received at their

hands.

The convention, of which you form a part, may, if wisely conducted, be productive of more important consequences than any which has gone before it, save only that which formed the federal constitution. In one respect, it will be wholly unlike any
