' THE LIBERTY OF THE PRESS is ESSENTIAL TO
THE SECURITY OF FREEDOM"
W0B0AS UBRa
WEDNESDAY,JAN. %. 1892.

On the occasion of the recent ofpaniza-
ton of the government of the State for the
current year, as has been usual from time
whereof the mind of man runneth not to
the contrary" an Election Sermon was
preached before the Governor and Council
and the two branches of the Legislature.
They were escorted to the Meeting House
by the corps of Independent Cadets. hut,
when the exercises were through, the Ca
diets were found to be among the missing"
and the procession was obliged to return,
without the protection of guard, notwith-
standing the perils with which they must
necessarily have been surrounded, thus un-
protected, in the midst of such a place as
Boston! For this neglect of duty the COM
mander of the corps was promptly arrested
BY the Governor, and will have to answer
for his offence before Court Martial. We
understand that the Cadets thinking the SER
mon Internationally long, went away to get
something wherewithal to stay their stom-
achs till dinner time, and did not get back
in season for the procession.
But, seriously, this whole affair, although
it has been the subject of much converse
ton, is really too triflng to deserve news
paper paragraph, were it not that it will
subject the State to the expense of Court
Martial, and that it may, possibly, be the
means OF doing away that relic of ROYALTY
from amongst Ms, which requires a guard for
the officers of the government on such an
occasion. Republican as we are in this
State, both in principle and practice, there
are, nevertheless, some practices remaining
amongst us that we inherited from our ia
theirs, which have been wisely dispensed
with in the States whose governments have
been more recently established, and which
it would be well for us, also, as opportunity
offcis, to shake off. BY the alteration in

MR.. VAN buren,.

The subjoined is an extract from the cores
pondence of the New York American II is
dated Washington, Dec. 80, 1881 There ex.
lists, as may be observed by the fluttering of the
administration journals, serious apprehensions
that Mr.. Van Burens appointment will be rem
dered nugatory by refusal on the part of the
Senate. to confirm his nomination =.
The nomination of Mr.. Van Buren, is now
before the Senate, but not for confirmation
A majority of that body is now awake to
the dignity and honor of the country, and
strict inquiry is making into the charac-
ter of his instructions to Mr.. McLane con-
corning the West India trade. Whatever
has been the extent to which our political
contests have been heretofore carried, no
party has ventured to appeal to foreign
nation us an arbiter TO our domcst dis
putes; such an appeal would have met with
the decided repfobation of every American
citizen; it would have been regarded as
reasonable, as the introduction of Philip in
10 the Amphyctionic Council proved to the
liberties Of Greece. For the first time in
our history, we have lately seen an Ameri-
can Minister claiming favor from foreign
government, on account of the part that his
political friends took in relation to dispute
between that government and his own coun-
try,-asking concessions from England as
the reward of sustaining her pretenslons
against the United States
Such, stripped of THAR diplomatic form, is
the character of Mr.. Van Buren's instruc-
lions; such in plain English, is the language
OF Mr. McLane's correspondence. Mr.. Van
The Massachusetts spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1831-1858, 1832-01-25

Buren, says" You may tell the British Guv-
ernment that neither we nor our party have
sustained the pretensiOns of the Government
of the United States;'' and Mr.. McLane
does SO inform Lord Aberdeen; and in the
close of this triumphant negotiation, he
says-"We have thus conceded all that
England has al any time demanded or de-
Sired" as to the regulation of the Colonial
trade ! We may well ask, if this can be
the language of an American Ambassador
to the British Crown? The Senate may
well inquire into the character of the in
otructions which produced this humilating
correspondence, and with good reason doubt
the propriety of permitting one to represent
the country at a foreign court, who has
shown himself so regardless of its honor,
and SO willing TO compromise its character
for the sake of a short-lved party triumph
The flag of the country has beer struck !
such is the unwilling conviction which forms
Itself upon every one who reads the CORES,
pondence. Mr.. Webster may truly say,
that these instructions deserve to become
the subject of public discussion. The whole
Union is interested in them-for they touch
Its character, and its honor and | hone
never to see the time when my countrymen
are insensible to these considerations. A
lofty spirit, ready to sacrifice all sordid mo-
tives-all paltry considerations of party, or
of personal trumphs-is indispensable TO
the successful administration Of popular
government. Republicans can flourish only
where the people love their country more
than any particular faction or party, and
shrink from no sacrifices in the public cause.
When Charles Cotesworth Pinckney of
South Carolina, replied to the demand ofthe
French Directory, "Millons for defence.
not cent for tribute" he uttered senti-
ment to which the whole country responded.
When John Quincy Adams of Massachu-
sets, declared at Chen: that he never would
sign treaty which deprived the United
States Of the fisheries, he spoke frcm the
dictates of "A heart, that in its darkest hour,
when not sail was afloat, never despaired
OF the republic 1t was in the spirit of the
Roman Senate, when it sold in the Forum
the ground on which HannibaPs army was
encamped. But when Martin Van Buren,
of New York, instructed an American Min
lster to exenerate the existing admlnistra-
ton from the repToach of having upheld
American pretensions, and "to concede all
that England had at any time demanded or
desired" he developed in his true colors.
the petty politician grovelling in the grail
fication Of party triumph, and whose whole
soul was absorbed in the important business
reforming the press" or of reforming the
"rascally postmasters." Such man can
never represent the country. He can never
aspire to higher rank than TO be the rep
resentative of party; and as suclrthe Sen
ate should. and believe will, set its seal of
Reproduction on him.
