Astounding DeveFOpmsenE.

We commend to the deep consideration
OF every friend of our country. and lover
OF our republican institutions, the articles
below. The London Chronicle, and the
Montreal Herald, are the publications in
each country most inimcal TO our free in
sti,niions-and are constantly harping up
on their favorite theme, that the experiment
Of Republican Government, founded upon
the supremacy of the PEOPLE, in the Uni
ted States. would prove "COMPLETEi
FAILURE" We are only astonished at
the want Of foresight in coming out quite
so soon; but feeling sure that the object
must be complishtdBY TIL E RE.ELEC-
TON OF MR.. VAN BUREN,, these
British editors could 10 longer withhold
their emulation.
Surely, ifany thing can convince an
honest man the rapid strides Of the pres
ent administration towards a monarchical
despotsm, it is the p@ns shouted over it's
policy by these haters Of Republican gov
ernments.
Let every citizen read and reflect upon
what follows, and then answer if his duty
to his country and its free, glorious institu-
tions, will sanction his voting for Van Blu
rem.
From the London Chronicle.
The people of England may now learn a
lesson on Republicansm from its most bril-
liant specimen, the government of the U.
States. 1t has proved splendid failure.
Van Buren,, WHO LEARNED MANY USEFUL
TACTICS IN THIS COUNTRY, wiH bring the
Democrats round TO A RATIONAL
SYSTEM OF MONARCHlST OBED-
IENCE. Democracy is the best and mos:
powerful lever in the world, if pressed judi
ciously. Monarchs have been upset by it.
Van Buren, is said to be a non-talented
man, but he knows human nature, he
knows his coantrymen too, and he has laid
the finest train that ever was conceived.-
He prevailed on the popular old President
10 set an example Of absolutism and sndepen-
dence ,ohich perhaps no other man IN That
country could haze attempted. He will i'm
itate mildly and cautiously ;-but haUing The
support of the Democracy, he will undoubt-
eddy succeed in bringing the whole Union
under The s,oay Of a te,o enHghenrd and
cultivated minds, which are 10 fact the
source Of stability and order in every coun-
try:
| The People CANNOT GOVERN THEM
SELVES, any more than public school can
govern itself without the superintendent
of master. 1t must be merely an inces
SAINT round Of elamor and contention. We
have now more hope for America than ever
we had since her declaration of indeE en-
dence. Martin Van Buren, has succeeded
in running down National Bank which
was the most formidable obstacle to Exec
utive control, and has collected in his hands
the reins of good team Of Stale instifu-
tions, Which ,riH draw together and bear
him upwards like the steeds OF Pegasus.
The Republic Of tho United States like
that Of Venice, will become an OHgarchy,
but it will be unless we are mistaken,
more enduring one. It will not like Ve-
nice become splendid ruin ofpalaces, for
it has arterial springs of commercial pros
perity, which nothing caa paraiyse, and
which do not depend upon the deceased
s,omaehs Of Europe for healihful action.
For Fifty years or more il will be clever
OkgaYchy and then the people will wisely
and cheerfully consent to its becoming a
limited MONARCHY ia Mr. Van Buren,,
zoe believe, has son o. taco and he qoiil
; probably establish a sound and useful day.
