John Van Buren, Speaking Ont.

At the Democratic meeting in New I ork on
the night preceding the municipal election, John
Van Buren, was one of the spokesmen. We SUBJ
join the closing portion of his speech as report
ed in the Herald of the 29th ult:
They, (the people,) gave notice to US, who have
the physical force mot only that the physical force
resides with the governed, but that resistance to
tyrants is obedience to God. cloud cheers.)-
The real security of Mr.. Lincoln and his Cabi-
net, and the men who are now administering the
government o. the country, lies in their faithful
obedience to the constitution. The moment
that they depart one Iiire from it, they throw of
the protection of law, resolve society into its
original elements, and make it question OF
physical force. And In this community or IN
New Jersey, with its fourteen thousand majority
for the democratic party, or in any portion OF
the State of New York, if they transcend in one
line or letter the written constitution OF the
United States, would not answer for the per-
sonal safety OF any man connected with the gov
ernment, who should set his foot upon our ter
ritory. (Cheers.) They have talked Of arrest
ing prominent men on our side, and they have
spoken at times of arresting me-not to me-
they would not talk such nonsense 10 me, but to
sick relatives, to women and children, and 20
other persons who may be around. (Laughter)
told them that they dare not arrest me III the
city of New York the physical force was too
strong Tor them. (Renewed Laughter.) They
thought they WoHlu arrest me IN fhliauoiPni",
where they had a majority; went there to SEQ
if they would; but they did not do it there. l
went to Baltimore, and they did not do ~
there I went to Washington, and into the Presl-
dents house. (Great laughter and applause. j
My business there has been the subject OF con-
siderable conversation. l had no business on
earth except to see whether they wanted to ar
! rest me /; and now say that while l knew then,
and knew always, that they did not dare arrest
me so long as kept inside the constitution and
the laws. (and however moderate lawyer may
he vet knew law enough not to violate it,)
and while know perfectly well that they did
not dare arrest me as they hal arrested others /;
and more than that, know this, that if any man
cor nected with the Illegal arrests that have been
4 made in the State of New ork sets his foot up
ON the soil OF New York, will arrest him--(en-
j thusiastic cheers) so help me God, he
shall be brought to such punishment as the con-
(. stitution and the laws of this country demand.-
