One of the most noteworthy events of this
year is the bold and unblushing apostacy of John
Van Buren, the chief leader of the New York
Barnburners with such portion of his associates ns
he could induce to follow him. In comparing the
past with the present course of this brilliant. but
strangely inconsistent man, ore becomes perfectly
at loss what to make of him-whether to consider
him political farce actor. an honest weathsrcock,
or totally unpriucipled and irredeemable dema-
gogus. In the fall of 1e49. we listened to him in
Montpelier, with admiration we have seldom
felt for any speaker, through of the most elo-
quent appeals for freedom, and one of the most
witheriDg denunciations of Southern slavery, which
ever fell from the lips Of nlau; and during which
he declared, as he did several public occasions
that year, with uplifted hand, aud in the form of
solemn oath :-..IF EVER CAST A VOTE FOR SLA-
VERY, MAY I DIE roRsAKEN BY MAN AND AccuR-
sED BY Con-" The Fugitive Slave Law had not
at that time, been enacted, but 10 April, 1851 at
the great public gathering in Boston, evoked by
the trial of Simms letter from John Van Buren,
was received and read in which he denounced
that law, not only clearly unconstitutional
but SO despoc and revolving that other civili-
zed nation on the whole earth would have ventured
to pass it ~
