WHAT is MARTIN VAN BUREN, DRIVING AT
We hear of him fishing in this State, with
Francis p. Blair companion, and in
spopdence with Thomas Hart Benton; but it is po-
litcal fish the ex- President is after. He was bob
bing for whales when he jumped on to the Buffalo
platform, and since then have thought he
would be glad to catch even a shark, min
now, or smaller fish, if could be found.
But the sea is deep and broad, and he is fishing in
deep water again, Messrs. Wilmot and
Preston King, well as Blair and Benton, are
now of his party, and John Van Buren,, too, who is
a chip of the old block, just like his father, "only
little more so.''
WE are told that this little nest of hopeful poll
ticians while ago had their eyes upon Mr. Wood
bury their candidate for the Presidency but now
that he is no they have concluded to centre
their affections upon VIM. o. Butler, of Kentucky,
in the hope that General Butler will be able to walk
over the course in 1852, as General Taylor did in
1S4S. If this game can be played out to success
full issue, it will make Mr.. Benton Secretary of
State, if be cannot get back his place in the Senate,
which he most desires, the best place to revenge
his enemies. A good many nterests, and of very
opposite character, we are also assured, will back
General Buffers claims to the Presidency, with
what success remains to be seen. The hope seems
to be that General Buffers southern location will
secure him southern favor, and his Barnburning
friends the support of Freesoilers.

THE LATE RIOT IN New ORLEANs.-In refer
ence to the riot which took place at New Orleans
receipt of the news of the executions at Havana
Judge Larue, charging the grand jury Of the par
ish of Orleans, makes the following remarks:
"Another matter which must bring to the at
tcntion of the grand jury is in reference TO the
riots which occurred in this city few weeks ago,
during highly excited state of public feeling.
However exasperated the parties committing this
offence may have been at the time it forms no JUS
LITIGATION for gross violation of the law and the
destruction of property, particularly in regard to
the last excuses of the mob, when robbery and
plumber was its object more than any thing else
In the early part of its operations also acts were
committed no less fragrant and unjust. press
was torn down and the contents of a newspaper
Enlistment destroyed. The right of free discus
sion is permitted and sanctioned by the laws of the
country, and whatever difference of opinion may
exist, or however great the Of offence which
may have been given, this right should have been
respected The propriety OF securing by law free
expression of opinion is undoubted, and whoever
violates this principle strikes at the rights of the ci
tzen. In other particulars the conduct of the mob
has been equally outrageous The agent of for
eign government attacked and his property
scattered about the Streets and this occurred in
enlightened city and in country governed by po
pular laws. The agents of foreign governments
respected among savages, and yet one has been
ASA uted by mob in New Orleans. Such conduc 1t
not only places country in false position, but
makes it necessary for our Government to offer hu.
initiating apologies to the aggrieved party"
