John Van Buren on Negroes.

In a late speech, John Van Buren, spoke
thus practically on the negro:
81 am one, of those who have always en-
tertained the most friendly feelings towards
the black race. My relations have led me to
considerable association with them. For in
stance, all the servants have ever had oc-
cssion to employ have been blacks. So,when.
ever they have been engaged in any branch
of industry where | thought | could be of
| service to them, l have endeavored to aid
them; / have for the last fifteen years stage
in Washington, whenever | was there, at a
hotel kept by a colored man, and though
have thus had no opportunity to compare it
with others, | presume it was as good as the
rest. My BARRIERS are always colored men. -
So, If want to go 10 a refractory in New
York. turn aside trom the splendid palaces
and have gone to Thomas Downing's, AN hon
est, respectable old black man. Therefore,
have no conceivable prejudice against them
quite the reverse. But these pushing, am
bitlons imprdent negroes who thrust them.
selves into the presidents room In order TO
treat him with their discourses, and plant
themselves in the gallery of the senate to hiss
senators when npholding the president Of the
United States when acting under the solem-
nifty Of his oath, no more represent the ps
tient, faithful uucom planning race they pro-
fess TO speak for, then the sturdy beggers
and brzzen sycophants who crowded the halls,
staircases and ante-chambers of the presi-
dents house. represent the American people,
who, for their own security and happiness.
and no ether reward, sustain the government
of the country in peace and IN war.
Important Decision.
Judge Smalley, in the Urited States cir
emit court ut Buffalo New York has render
ed a decision relating to the power of assess-
ors of internal revenue whioh Is Of interest
and Importance to every tax paying citizen.
Thomas Brown, Of Buffalo. was summoned
before an assessor and required to submit TO
an examination in regard TO the correctness
of bis income returns in the years 1862 and
1868 and his special income returns for 1864.
He refused to answer some of the questions
put to him. and under the internal revenue
law, the ma tier was referred to the circuit
court. Judge Smalley, upon hearing the
facts, decided that the assessor had no right
to review any assessment made by him. and
which had been transmitted to the collector
and paid that assessors have authority
under the law to require any man TO appear
for examination in regard to such returns, nor
to compel him to submit his books for exam
nation and that the assessors proceedings
in all such cases are a nullitv and without
color of law The Buffalo Courier says very
large Gums have been extorted from citizens
Of Buffalo under circumstances similar to
those in the case before Judge Smalley, and
that the parties will now seek redress in law.

by regular convention of her citizens has framed

To the Fenidn brotherhood and Irishn,en of
America:
BROTHERS AND CONFERENCE.-The Irish
people of America are again united in the
cause of Irish independence and universal
freedom. The cheer which arose from the
Irish soldiers at Limestone Ridge as the
English fleet went fleeing before their
avenging steel, has found a responsive echo
in every Irish heart, and made us one in
love, purpose and resolve.
We see after ages of your oppression the
unquenchable desire for Irish independence
blaze forth anew, and as it sweeps along the
cities of this vast continent, it gathers with
In its magic influence five millions of Irish
hearts, and twice five millions of friends of
freedom and foes of despotism. Arise, then,
my countrymen, and nerve yourselves for
the struggle so nobly commenced. Cast
aside every consideration that would dark
en- the dawning hopes of your enslaved
countrymen. Be true to liberty, your
country, your God and your native land |;
instead of being lazar-hOuse of slavery,
1t will soon be the garden of freedom.
Stand by the cause. Be not dismayed by
obstacles you meet. You must surmount
them, and you will. Let cowardice and ig-
norance desert and denounce you. What
of thatP The true men are still legion,
and the struggle must not be abandoned,
even though our soldiers should be COM
PEELED, through an over-zeal of United
States officers, to abandon the present cam
paign. There is no turning back for us, my
countrymen. Our movement must and
will advance. Retrogression would entail
eternal infamy and bring deeper stain of
slavery upon your country and race, and it
Is as legitimate for you to attack English
power In Canada as 1t was for England to

Remember, in union there Is strength,
and that union which has been cemented by
the blood of our gallant brothers must be

heart, would dare to weaken or dissolve 1t.
