Whig State Committee Warns of Van Buren Strategy
A lengthy circular from New York State Whig leaders labeled Van Buren’s federal and Washington efforts as deceptive and urged Whigs to rally. It claims New York’s anti administration sentiment is rising, cites economic distress and political fatigue, and predicts a Whig majority exceeding 7000, possibly reaching 12000 to 15000, if the party unites for the next election.
