The Manifesto Of our Minister in Aerico, De.
The extraordinary manifesto recently issued by the
American Minister in Mexico Is the subject Of

tfcation TO the President and Premier Marcy Its
parent, rather its avowed purpose was TO exculpate
the revolutionary chiefs Of that country from the charge
of seeking American protecorste II it had stopped

ministerial manestoes of this character scarcely
consistent with digniGed diplomacy. An authoritative
DENIAL In the ordinary form, in some public Journal
would have been much better taste.

PRINCE John VAN BUREN AND THE ADMINS
TRATioN--TREAcHERY STILL AT WoRK-We
published yesterday the material portion of
The manifesto Of the Washington Union, expell-
ing the Prince John Van Buren, from the
democratic church, on account Of his late half
and-half squatters' rights and free soil speech
at Oswego, and the amiable and sweet temper
I'd reply of the Prince thereto. We have no
space for the accompanying rigmarole of the
Cabinet organ. The kernel Of it's commentary,
however, is simply this:--that Prince Johns
declaration that the New York soft she'll plat
form of 1866 is the old Buffalo Van Buren,
platform of 1S48, makes it a matter Of indif-
ference, SO far as the in terests Of the demOcra-
tic party are concerned, whether his ticket
succeeds or not"
Now, we dare say that the Prince could, if
be would, prove from Mr.. John Cochrane and
others assigned "to the heavy business" at the
soft she'll Syracuse convention, that their plat
form was drawn up in accordance with instruc-
tons from the Kitchen Cabinet, and that this
campaign of the Prince along the northern
border, so abruptly cut short, was undertaken
by and with the advice and consent of
the administration, platform and all. We
suspect, too, that our reporter, in putting the
Princes Oswego speech in black and white,
spoiled the game Of the Kitchen Cabinet, and
compelled them to choose between a confess
sion of their double-dealing with the South or
their treachery to the Prince and the faithful
New York administration party. Had the
Maryland, Mississippi and Louisiana elections
gone by, the Prince would perhaps have escaped
any censure from the Cabinet organ, even with
the repetition Of his Oswego speech from the
steps of the State Department
The old fable of the good -natured dog Tray,
who was torn to pieces by the treacherous ours
into whose bad com py he had fallen, may
now be read by the frince understandingly
and with profit. Experience is q hard teacher;
but her lessons are impressive and useful. We
refer the amiable facetious and betrayed
Prince to the Hon. Pierre Soul6 and ex-Go-
vernon Reeder of Kansas for further advice
and consolation. Mr.. Cochrane has I" the
heavy business" of his Office to look after, and
in this crisis the administration can't afford to
stand upon trifes. Will the Prince now favor
us with the memoirs Of his late visit to MIR.
Pierce at the Virginia White Sulphur Springs?
lie may thus put everything right again. Who
knows?

SPEECH OF Mr.. FLoURNoY AT THE VIRGINIA
AMERICAN PARTY STATE CoNvENT0N.--We pub
lish to- day our reporters report of the speech
OF Hon. Stanhope Flournoy, at the State con-
vention of the American party, lately held at
Lynchburg, Virginia. At this particular juno
ture it will be interesting to politicians Of all
parties, in reference to the existing and pros
pective policy Of the Know Nothfngs down
South. We suspect, however, that Mr.. Flour
noy has scarcely broken the shell of the ques-
ton of the reconstruction of the American
party in 1856. The first step was taken by the
Virginia Convention in the resolution for the
abolition of the dark lantern, and for an open
organization. Other steps, suggested by the
necessities of the crisis, will doubtless follow.
There is plenty Of room for new organiza-
ton, and plenty of time. Read the speech OF
Mr.. FlournOy.
