We learn from good authority that Judge Roose-
welt has declined the Office of District Attorney oil
the Southern District of New.YOrk, TO which he
was lately appointed by the President. Accord
ipcIy the place is still vacant We trust that
without further ceremony Mr. Buchanan will ap-
point our distinguished feow-citizen, John Van
Buren. esq. lie deserves this acknowledgment at
the hands Of party which no has served so WELL
ard al so great sacrifice to himself. For it is a
matter of notoriety that had he not be governed by
a stern devotion to principle, Alr. Van Buren would
at this day be member Of the Republican
party, already a Uaitsd States Senator, aod
probably the next President. The teupta-
ton of these elevated dignities, however
had no influence upon the uprightness of his mind.
Hs political convictions lay in another direction,
and he maniully resigned the great prizes, which
could only be gained by compromising his consci-
ence. Therefore, to this day he remains humble
soldier in the ranks, and the very best joker OF
Tammany Hall-more honorable, We hope, how
ever, in the eyes OF oil good LecOmptOn Democrats,
than he would baye been il he had persisted in the
perrcious path into which he was accidentally be-
trayed in l5is even though that path could scarce
" have failed to lead him to the White House. 1t
is true thuf he has not always been sound on the
Fugitive Slave law, but that must be forgiven him,
among the other eccentricties OF his youth. Pray,
Mr.. Buchanan, let us hear Of his appointment.
