between strar grlston snd the slow torture oi be-
ing broken upon the wheel-between retreat no
matter how ienomnious. and the Incessant receP'
ton Of the general contempt. Mr. John Van
Buren has our best wishes. Malice might prompt
Us 70 de.ire that be might be RENE mbered, but
charity compels US TO hope for him oblivion. we
would .sy AZ much for the other brother OF noble
pair-for the Hon. Mr.. Dix. who spoke alter Mr'
Van Buren, at Tammauy Hall on Mcnda! night
but it is not necessary. In the race OF lhismy ne
has played part so little important, perhaps We
NAV say 20 little conspicuous, that men viii forget
him easily.
We congratulate Mr.. Buchanan upon the yiscr'
Gus puff which he received from Mr. John van
Buren, in TammaDy Hall, on Monday evening
Yes. in Tammnny Hall For John has no" been
as vigorously kicked INTO that sacred edlhce as he
was once vigorously kicked out Of it. They use
him well there, so far as bawling, believing ana
grinning at his jokes may be considered good usage
and he in return, Ike grateful and apPreclsting
harlequin. treats them to his merrlest antics ana
mott bewildering somersets. But to return 10 Mt.
Buchanan. That distinguished gentleman, v vho does
not have in the drea days of his approaching d"tage
a superfuity of compliments and an embarrassment
Of mems charitable speeches, must feel under no
ordinary obligation TO the gallant and compara-
lively youthful champion who has volunteered TO
brave ridicue in order to say few good words Tor
him. To be sure, they are words in which there
is not lonesome iota of truth But that ia of little
consequence. There is no truth in the puif Of the
natent mouse.trap. There il no truth in the aud-
alton Of the universal pill. There was no truth IN
the descriptions Of Joyce IIcth. There was no
truth in the Goldfish mermaid. But the trap, the
pill, the octogenaran negress and the mermaid
all experienced the benefit of putting and so
may even Mr.. Buchanan, especially when the
praise comes from such source. Continuing to
be gentle and humane as We always are, We hope
that the rare experience Of one mans appreciation
and of one mans public indorsement will give to
Mr. Buchanan's dccayng faculties tolerable FLIP.
Enamored of infaDy, he will find Mr.. John Van
Burens speech delightful aphrodisiac, not un.
worthy Of doting old man. Let us not too care
fully analyzc the fascinating philter, for if the
patient likes the dose it only proves that when other
organs are decayrg the palate keeps deteriorating
pace with the rest. Our business just now Is with
the eulogzer and not with the eulogzed Just think
of the Free.SOil champion Of the gallant campaign
Of 1e4s, who used so to choke with indignation at
the aggressions of Slavery, that he was upon public
occasions compelled to take of his crayat, now
upon his belly eating grass and Kissing his eulo-
gums of whip-cracking, bullying, mau-hunting
masters Certainly they have run down, if not
nobler, at least 4 more notorious quarry than is
common, although its condition is what epicures
Buren was pleased to say of Kansas affairs he
wantonly, deliberately and with malice afore-
thought msrepresented, exaggerated and attempt
ed TO mislead. He is a branded falsifer. No
amount of stale jokes and of sour sneers will save
him. History will not write lies even to obige
Mr.. John Van Buren. Shrieks were being heard"
SAYS this Prince--Of Democrats. Well, shrieks
were heard-the shrieks Of men murdered of
women maltrcated, Of children housoless. Does
Mr. John Van Buren intend TO deny itl He is
lawyer. He knows the value Of evidence. If he
does not know that tho Evidence of PrO-Slayery
outrsges in Kansas is full, explicit particular and
cumulative, then be has not read it, and has no
right to talk about it. Ii be does not know the
history Of the mock elections in that Terri-
tory, Of the sham voting lists, OF the border
inyssions, Of the double voting all these
being matters Of official investigation and Of
legislative record-then he assumes TO speak of
what he is ignorant. The present position of the
Tree.State men OF Kansas may or may not be
sound one but the past is too full of their injuries
10 be treated with rdicule and sneers. Mr.. Van
Buren, is very high and mighty and topping in his
culogium of Popular Sovereignty, and very angry
with the people of Kansas for doing as they see fit.
They are excellent sovereigns same people
when they follow Democratic dictation, but
poor, rebellious, revolutionary pack when they do
not happen to please James and his man John.
But the man who endeayors to defend Pro-Slayery
scgressons in Kansas is very much like the man
defending the pirate, when the stolen money was
found in the pirates boots He will be covered
with inconsistency as with garment, and sadly
looped and windowed garment at that. For
if we may with all Difference be permitted to speak
to Prince and Prince Of blood, il not of the
blood, we may humbly suggest that the state of
Kansas admitted into the Union without Slavery
would, for the purpose OF his argument, be quite
as insignificant as Kansas with Slavery. The rose
might be as sweet, and perhaps sweeter, 70 the
princely nose, but vulgar nostris would detect no
difference in the SAVIOR TO which Mr.. Van Buren
alluded. A small, halfset.led and sparsely popu-
lated State has never, TO our knowledge, been an
object Of abhorrence 10 The slsyeholdng politicians
and their trusty souires. Ii Mr.. Van Buren, sees
