MR. VAN BUREN,.

ment Of the United States. II has
proved . splendid failure. Van Buren,,
who learned many useful tactics in this
country will bring the Democrats round
10 RATIONAL SYSTEM OF MoSARcHIAL
OBEDIENCE. Democracy is the best
and most powerful fever 10 the world,
II pressed judiciously. Monsrci,es
have been upset by il, but many more
have been established by il. Van
Buren, 10 said 10 be . non-tslenied man,
but he knows human nature; he knows
his eountrymen too. and he has laid
the hnest trail that ever was conceived.
He has prevailed upon the popular old
President 70 set an example Of abso-
luteism and independence, which per-
haps no other man in that country
would have attempted. He will -ul-
|timstely. mildly and cautiously. but
having the support Of the Democracy.
be win undoubtedly succeed in bring
ing the whole Union under the sway
Of few enlarged and cultivated minds.
which are in fact the source Of stabili-
~ and order in every country. The
people cannot govern themselves, any
more than q public school cen govern
itself without the superintendent of a
master. II must be merely an inces-
SAINT round OF clamor and contention
We have nov more hope for Ameri-
CO than ever we hsd since her Decla-
ration Of Independence. Mr.. Ven
Buren, has succeeded in running down
9 national bank. which was the most
formibls obstacle TO Executive control,
and has collected 10 his hands the
reins Of q good team Of State institu-
tons. which will draw well together,
and bear him upwards like the steeds OF
Pegasus. The Republic Of the United
States like that Of Venice, will become
IN oligarchy; but il will be. unles.
we are mistaken, q more enduring one.
II will not, like Venice, become q
splendid ruin Of palaces; for il has srte-
rial springs OF commercial prosperity
which can paralyze. and which do moi
depend upon the diseased stomachs o
Europe for q beautiful action. For
hfty years or more. IL will be clever oil
