In his own state, no man has ever been
honored through life by such honest, up
right, exalted, steadfast friendships, a
Mr. Van Huren may justly boast. From
the time of Daniel T. Tompkins down to
the present hour, we do not believe there
has been a great and distinguished man of
the democracy in the state who was not
the friend of Mr. Van lltircu not an hon
est and worthy man among ihrm who
has not supportrd him with zeal and fidel
ity, and found i:i return, an unwavering
and faithful friend in him. lie has nev
er looked on any of them (as an heart
less and ambitious politician would do) as
rivals whose aspirations were not to he
promoted. On the contrary, it hag given
him the highest graliiication to see and
promote the spreading reputation of Mr.
Wright, Mr. Uutler, Mr. Marcy, Mr.
Flagg, Mr. Cambrclcng, Mr. Tauldiiig,
and -other patriotic and able men like
them to be honored by whoso friend
ship, as Mr. Van Huren has been through
long years of trial, is itself the strongest
proof that he possesses all the qualities
calculated to lit a man lor the enjoyment
of the honorable and exalted attachments ;
and yet it is pretended Mr. Van Il.ircn is
cold, and has no heart for friendship !
