 So, JOHN VAN BUREN is married Ito Miss, 1 Vanderpocl of Albany T Prince John, as he was famliarly called-rldcst son of the EX- Prcsidcnt-gonc at last tied in siken fet- ters 10 a fine Kinderhook girl. "No place like homc," after all said.
 The history of Prince John is a striking proof of the mutahility of human affairs.- His fa;her said 10 him, "John, my boy, am President of the United States-but every thing is uncertain in this lifc-l may or may not be reelected i; make hay while the sun shines, my boy. as our ancestors used to say. Go 10 England-you can go under the most favorable auspices, and usc the capital give you, ns son of the President, to the very best advantage" With this parental advice, John set out for the Court of St. James, and Ike eldest son ofthe President, the "h heir ap- parent" was received with open arms. He dincd and danced with the Queen-pla, ed ecGre with the old Dowagers and Dutchesses -pigconed the Dukes at whst-airted with the Countesses-hunied with the sprigs of nobiliiy-dined with the Common Council, and spent few days at half the kingdom.- He was clever, easy, gcntleman!y and po- lite, and did credit to tho name of an Amcri- can. He wanted Q witc-a girl with mil lMm! What n swell he would have cut at Saratoga! But Prince John aimed his tnl. con at too high quarry. He wanted Princess, or Duchess, or Countess, or q Right Honorable with humping jointure but the nobility, though all excessively po- lite. were all on their guard. Some unkind whig had been circulating something about "Kindcrhook," Y" Dutch blood" Kabbitch. cs," Sc, and they refused to nibble. Now had Prince John visited the city, instead of the West end, and made love 10 bankers, or butchers, or a groccr's, or tailor's daughter. he might have baggcd few hun dred thousands quite readily; but he didn't take the hint, soon left for home and arrived just in time to help the old man pack up for the homestead, and like sensible thinking fel- low, conceived it more prudent and more de- sirable to buckle 10 with our own fair daugh- tcrs, than all the Dutchesses in Christendom We take leave of him with best wishes for good health and happiness-N.
