Van Buren and Prince Tallevrand.

We hardly know of any exhibition-Her Alexander's not excepted-calculated to create in spectator greater curiosity and astonsh- ment than that of an interview between Tel. leyrand and Van Buren, in which each was try- ing to pump the other. Van Buren himself, we believe has given an account of his last in- terview with Talleyrand, when he (Van Buren) was minister to the court of London; on which occasion, (uncommon with most others when they met we presume,) the curious and inte- resting operation spoken of above was mutual ly sought to be performed. The day Van Buren was to leave England for the U. States, Tal- leyrand happening at the time to be in London, called upon him, and seemed to have someth- ing important to communicate. Van Buren did not (we do not say could noD speak French, and there was no interpreter at hand. Time was precious, and what was to be done? In previous interviews they had always communi- cated with each other through the medium of an interpreter Van Buren made a motion politely expressive of his regret at the awkard- ness of the interview, and also of thenecessity of his going. After an impatient gesture or two, Talleyrand breaks out in very good En- glish, with, "Well, we'll, if there is no inter- preter, l suppose l must talk English, if you will not talk French"
 We don't profess to be very we'll informed as to President Van Buren's knowledge of lan- guages, but we would just suggest that if any man happened to be in his company, and de- sired to communicate something to another that he didn't wish Mir. Van Buren to understand. he should use some other language than the French.

or of his religious faith. Loud cheers and ap- plause.
 These are the issues which the democratic party of the nation have to meet and maintain before the people in all the States Let no consideration of partizan policy or temporary advantage induce us to swerve hairs breadth from our principles. If we meet the questions fairly and directly, and fight the battle boldly, and should even suffer temporary defeat, yet we will have the proud satisfaction of know ing that we have saved our honor at the same time that glorious triumph awaits us in the future. (Applause.)
 Then, fellow democrats, let us stand by our arms, and be ready to fight the allied forces of abolitionism, whigism, nativeism, and religious intolerance, under whatever name and on what ever field they may present themselves. (En- thuslastlc cheers and tremendous applause.)
 And if, after struggling as our forefathers struggled for centuries in their native land against civil and religious persecution, we and our children shall be finally borne down and trampled under the heel of despotism, we can still follow their example-fee to the wilder ness, and find an asylum in Nebraska, where the principles of self-government have been firmly established in the organic act which re- gently passed Congress.
 Tremendous shouts of applause. Cheer af- ter cheer for Douglas-cheers for Nebraska cheers for the principles of self-government, in the midst of which MT. Douglas retired from the stand.

A Good Story.

Some of the students of the Indiana State University were supposed to be in the habit of drinking brandy. Where they obtained it was mystery Dr. Duffy determined to ferret out the secret Calling into a small drug store, the proprietor of which asked him Chow that stu dent, Mir. Carter came on?" Smelling rat. the Doctor answered in an evasive manner, and soon drew out of him that the students under suspicion had been in the habit of purchasing brandy for sick student by the name of Car ter; that they said he was quite low, and was kept alive by stimulants; that the young gen. tleman seemed very much devoted to him. Now, the secret was out. This Carter was fictitious character, and the Doctor had the secret.
 However, he kept his own counsel. The next time the students assembled in chapel for prayers, he cast his eyes over the crowd, and sa- tisfed himself that Carter's nurses were all present. The devotions were duly conducted, and he then called the attention of the students. remarking that he had mournful task to per- form-as president of the University it became his duty to announce the death of their fellow student, Mr. Carter. After lingering illness of several weeks, a portion of which he was Kept ahUe by ystimulants, he had breathed his last. He had no doubt this announcement would fall sadly on the ears of those who had so taithfu- ly attended to his wants, but he hoped they would bear it with resignation-he hoped they would reflect on the oft repeated words, Mo maenti omori''-that he would now no longer detain, but leave them to their own reflections!
 The result of this announcement was start. ling None of the professors, and but few of the students, had ever heard of Carter.- "Who is he?'' was whispered. None knew but the "kind friends who attended him." and they wouldn't tell; and the president seemed so deeply edscted, that they did not like to ask him
