hands of the people, and by implication, that the 'Erecutsre head should noi tteter}ere u party politics.
 Mir. Van Bnren was the first Secretary of State, moreover, who endeavored 10 pro cure the acknowledgment, by FOREIGN POWER. of NATIONAL right. by descending to sapplicate 1t as PARTY boon.
 In 1882, Mr. Van Rufen was the caucus candidate for Vice President-nominate according to recent confessions of several delegates 10 he Convention, to graiify Mc President, and to furnish him with weap- on to punish the contumacy of the United States Senate, which, few months before, had rejected the nomination of Mr. Van Bu- ren as Minister to England. In 1885, MT. Van Buren has been nomi- hated for the Presidency, by a similarly packed jury of Federal office holders, in obedience to the publicly aromed prefer. enee' of the Federal Erecntiue, and Is now sustained by the whole force of Federal influence; the President himseit, by ac- acknowledgement of 'the Government off cal, being personally engaged in .fyaaking THE GLoBE to different parts of the coun- try.
 Both of these nominations are ill beauti- ful unison as well with the .anti caueus de tnoeratc' principles before alluded to, as with the golden democratic' principles touching safe precedents, ,'--or the erection of stepping stone' 10 the Presidency, through the office of Secretary of State and of the Vice President.
 xsMr. Van Buren observed that if was ev- ident, and indeed some gentlemen did not feel disposed to disguise |, that the amend ment proposed by the honorable gentleman from Delaware, contemplated nothing short of a,.irersal suffrage MT. Van Buren did not beliere that they, were the bare naked question of an,persal suffrage put to them, would vote in it's favor; and HE was very sure that its adoption aeas not expected, and would not meet the views of their constitu- ents.'
 And on the 2sth of September, he again spoke strongly againsi uairersai suffrage, as appears by the following extract from the report [p. 2s4.
 Air. Van Buren occupied the floor for some time, in expressing his sentiments de- cidedly against the amendment and AGAINST UNIVERSAL sUFFRAGE.'
