With such an endorsement of James Blu

can the South reject hims
And now for Prince John Van Buren-"a
chip of the old block who like his patriotic
and unsel,ish sire, has also placed himself
square upon the hodgepot platform. and who
has announced himself warm and uncom-
promising supporter of James Buchanan
The Union thus speaks Of the Prince:
"We find the position Of John Van Buren, clearly
laid down in q speech Of great force and eloqaenes
delivered at q mass meeting Of the Empire Club,
in New York, on Tuesday evening, the 9Th inst.
If our available space would allow, we should pub
lish the whole speech but at present We can only
find room for so much Of II as relates to the Dem
ocratic platform, the Kansas question, and the
pacifcation bill passed by the Senate"
What msrvellously proper man is Prince
John of Undertook, to advocate the cause Of
the. foreign Democracy He is man, says
the Union, of "great force and eloqusnce -
and the Union sorely regrets it has not room
for his whole speech" N. se
Without expressing any regrets that we,
like the Union, have not space for the " whole
speech" of Prince John, we will select two or
three sentences, plainly furnishing hints At his
grounds of support Of the Kansas "squatter
sovereignty" platform. The Prince says
az am told that, in looking at the resolutions Of
that convention, they have been able to discover
that they pledge the Democratic organization to
the extension Of slavery to free territory have
read these resolutions carefully, and with what lit
tie intelligence have been able to apply to them,
can find no such thing in them. offer q reward,
now, to any Of these highly -inteigent Republican
gentlemen to point me--not TO an outrage In Kan
sas, not to scufie In Washington, not to an i'm
proper speech or improper newspaper article-but
to line or sentence In the Cincinnati resolutions
which advocates or encourages the extension Of
slavery to free territory" [Applsnse.l
The opinions of the Prince in this sentence
are transparent.
Again, Prince John says:
"The only practical application of this platform
to the present day is in regard to the Territory of
Kansas l do not propose to detain you by dis
cussing Kansas. l attach some Importance to the
United States. / attach some Importance to the
other countries OF the world. / attach some i'm
portance to the White people Of oar oOn country"
Applause.
Much as the Prince worships the colored
race, he seems to have some idea that tohite
folks should take charge of Kansas!
See now how cautiously the Prince devel-
opes his opinions, lest they may injure his
friend Mr.. Buchanan, either at the North or
South He says:
"You are. well aware that, as a national pub
city is given to my remarks, when speak in this
confidential way, laughter it is quite well that
should say what would not injure Mr.. Buchanan
at the South, and what would not injure him at
the North and, therefore, in the present state of
the subject, do not deem it necessary to consider
the question whether 1t would make slave or
free State"
So the Prince considers it impolitic to speak
out on the question whether the "squatter
sovereignty" principle would make the Terri
tories free or slaue States. He leaves his opin-
ions to be inferred from his antecedents, in
connexion with his present support Of this prin-
ciple. Mr.. Cambrelengs letter, published some
few months since showing that "squatter SOW
ereignty" would give the Territories to free
dom, would perhaps illustrate the opinions of
Prince John on this point.
The Prince proceeds to announce his views
on the Missouri Compromise, and then to de-
clare his opinion that the people of Kansas
have right, under the Kansas act, and per-
haps independent Of it." TO DETERMINE THE
DEsTINIEs OF THAT STATE.
He says:
"I think proper to say, that while greatly dis
approve the repeal of the prohibition of slavery in
that Territory yet as constitutional act Congress
had right to repeal it, if they chose 30 to do
They had the power to do 1t. There were not one
hundred people in the Territory when it was done.
They threw open the settlement Of the great Ter
ritories of Kansas and Nebraska, and there are
now some 10000 or $4,000 people there, invited
under constitutional act, to exercise the right Of
The people who are there are
the people ,oho are to determine the destinies of
that State. They haze a right to do IL under the
Kansas act, and they haze right to do IL inde-
pendent Of the Kansas act, perhaps"
And thus Prince John Van Buren,-his pa
triotic father,--and Churchill c. Cambreleng,
with all their train of Free-soil Buffalo platform
coadjutors of 1s48, have joined the "squatter
sovereignty" cohorts of Cass Douglas and com
pany, and received dissolution for all their
former political crimes, at the hands of the
