WHAT THE BRITISH TORIES SAY OF
MR., VAN BUREN,.


United States. 1t has proved splendid
failure. Van Buren,, who learned many
tactics in this country, will bring the demo-
Gratis round to rational system of Monar-
-chical obedience. Democracy is the best
and most powerful lever in the world, if
pressed judiciously Monarchies have been
upset by it; but many more have been es-
tabbished by it. Van Buren, is said to be
non-talenfed man, but he knows human ma
ture; he knows his countrymen too, and has
laid the finest train that ever was conceived.
He has prevailed upon the popular old Pre-
sident to set an example of absoluteism
and independence, which perhaps no other
man in that country would have attempted.
He will ultimately, mildly, and cautiously,
but having the support of the democracy, he
will undoubtedly succeed in bringing the
whole Union under the sway Of few en-
larged and cultivated minds, which are the
source of stability and order in every coun-
try. The people cannot govern themselves
any more than public school can govern
itself without the superintendent of a mas
ter. It must be merely an increased round
of clamor and contention. We have now
more hope for America than ever we. had
since her Declaration Of Independence. Mr..
Martin Van Buren, has succeeded in running
down national bank, which was the most
formidable obstacle to Executive control,
and has collected in his hands the reins of a
good team of State Institutions, which will
draw well together, and bear him upwards
like the steeds Of Pegasus. Republic of the
United States, like that Of Venice, will be-
come an oligarchy; but it will be, unless we
are mistaken, more enduring one. 1t will
not, like Venice become a splendid ruin of
palaces; for it has arterial springs of COM
mercial prosperity which nothing can para
lyze, and which do not depend upon the
diseased stomachs of Europe for healthful
action. For fifty years or more, it will be a
clever oligarchy, and then the people will
wisely and cheerfully consent to its becom-
ing a limitad monarchy. Van Buren,, we
believe, has son or two and he will proba-
bly, establish a sound and useful dynasty for
that great continent"
Comments on the GboUe extract By the ia
Tented editor Of the Salisbury IN C.)

1t is difficult for any one Of common OBJ
servation to believe that the predictions of
this Tory Editor of England, are now in a
state of rapid fnlflment. The enemies of
free government, throughout the world,
must indeed rejoice at the downward course
of our Republic for the lest eight or ten
years. Under the guise Of Democracy, the
late and present President Of the U. States,
with the same hypocritical can upon their
lips, are progressing more resolutely and
impudently in their iniquitous career, than
was imagined they would do in so short
time, even by the Tory editor of England
They have not waited to pass through the
forms of an oligarchy, but have at once cree
ted monarchys For who can,deny but that
as to all practical consequences, who are
now under the absolute rule of one man
The President is all in all He is paramount.
He must be considered infallible: No men,
Der Of Congress must be elected who does
not bow the neck to Executive diGtatioR:
No one is permitted to hold an office who
dares to think and act for himself: The s'sic
vollo" and sssic jubeon of the President is
the law, and his word be obeyed under the
penalty of political accommodation and
death.-How is the democracy, or Gov
eminent of the people? Is it oligarchy or a
Government of few of the people? No! il
is neither; but is the Government of one
man; in other words, it is monarchy, abso-
lutte and memorable as to all practical eff
fects.
The public acts of Mr.. Van Buren, totally
disprove all his pretensions to Democracy,
and show him to be, as Mr.. Rives very APP
says, ssmonocrat" in reality and
truth. We have long been in the habit of
regarding a mans private department or
conduct, as a more certain index to his prin-
ciples than any public profession he can
make. If squared bv his rule, it will appear
that Mr.. Van Buren, has not one particle Of
democracy in his whole constitution. ms
tead Of m;ngling with the people, as his pro-
fession would seem to imply, he stands
aloof from them, and holds them at greater
distance than any other President has ever
done. He apes the manners and fashions
Jf Royalty in European Courts; drives
more splendid equipage; moves in greater
Domp; dresses in more gorgeous apparel
han any other President has ever done be-
lore him. And all this is simple domocra-
".
But more. How does it happen that our !
democratic President has sent two of his /:
IONS TO England3 We hear it suggested that
heir object might be to learn "useful tao
les, which the Tory Editor said their fa-
her had done before them, while he was in
england. Is It in this way that we are to
AVE established for this great continent ga
ound and useful dynastyg" Perhaps the
ociety of the United States was too vulgar 9
nd insipid for these young Princes Of the
Hood, and hence they must leave theIand of
Democracy, and 60 to England, the land Of
Monarchy, whore they could find ct assoc
iates for their Royal persenages.
These are grave subjects of enquiry for
he whole American people. Let The borne
