Free Soil Banner, Indianapolis, Marion County, 13 October 1848 — Page 4

From the jYrw York Hunday .'Jil ts. John Van Iturcn. John Van Buren, as most readers of the Atlas are aware, is the second son .>! the ex-Prosidqnt, Martin Van Buren. The good ,, old county ol Columbia, claims him tor her child, and some of her best and stoutest Dutch blood iS in his veins. He took his degree with marked honors, at Vale College; soon afterwards he hung up his hat, as a student of law, in the ollice of JJenj. F. Butler, (the present U. S. District Attorney.) at Albany. Under him and Judge Vanderpool, ol this: city, he completed his studies. lie was just admitted to the bar, when his father was sent Minister to London: he accompanied the legation, lie took the opportunity to see most of the European countries; when, his father’s nomination having been rejected by the Senate, he returned with him, in 1832, to the United States. From the date of his return with his father, Mr. Van Buren went back to his desk and his law books, and for several years pursued the practice of his profession with assiduity and success. During this interval he visited England, in 1 838, on professional business. His position, not more than Ins personal accomplishments, gave him at once the entree into the most exclusive circles in the world. The young, republican was the lion of a whole London winter. The proud men and women of proud aristocracy were disarmed in spite of themselves, by a manner and breeding as perfect as their own; and the future “ barnburner" had the distinguished honor of dancing at one of the slate, halls of the season, with her gracious majesty herself. \ ictoria the First. His success at court was regarded as a phenomenon, and furnished more additions to the city gossip of the papers in London and this country than an event of state importance. Before his return, he apent a considerable time in Ireland. The generous hospitalities of a warm-hearted people were lavished on the son of a democratic President of the United States, and in more than one city he was constrained to decline the honor of a public entertainment. Considerations of obvious propriety connected with his father’s public relations to the democratic party, and subsequently an irreparable domestic affliction, [the death of his wife,] kept him in comparative retirement until about 1845. In that year the long growing tend between the two sections of this State, the “ hunkers” and “ barnburners,” or conservatives and radicals, which had been smothered for a season, by the absorbingstruggle of 1844, broke out with violence. The election of Attorney General, for three years, was made chevel tie bataille between the two divisions. Mr. Rufus W. Beckham, of Albany, were the candidates ot the “hunkers,” and Mr. Van Buren, of the “ barnburners.” Alter a hot struggle, Mr. Van Buren was nominated in the caucus by a majority ot one; and subsequently appointed by the legislature. From that hour he was before the people. On him the “ barnburners” achieved their first victory in the party. Yet it was not till afterwards that he displayed those qualities which have made him their unquestionable champion and leader in the State. His career as Attorney General was distinguished by a skill and ability in his profession, for which few, even of his friends, were prepared, and which at once gave him a high position at the bar of Mew York. Some of his prosecutions of the anti-renters and ol the negro Freeman at Auburn, were master peices of legal science and power. His rencountre with Ambrose L. Jordon, Esq , afterwards his successorin office, during the great anti-rent trials, at Hudson, is fresh in the memory of every reader. The insult offered by Mr. Jordon was flagrant, and his chastisement was prompt and summary. It was one of those cases when the popular sympathy was all on one side. Mr. Jordon’s manner was too well known to the bar and the public, to cause much dissatisfaction that in one instance at least, they had met a salutary reproof. Soon afterwards occurred the famous New Scotland affair. Who was right and who was wrong in that memorable collision between the “ barnburners” and “hunkers,” the young democracy and the ancient regency of Albany, it is not ours to decide. It was an important convention to both partiies, and it must be carried—It was carried—by the “ barnburners.” The “hunkers” were routed, horse and foot; not bloodlessly, nor without damage to nose, eyes face and garments. To this day there is a tradition, that violent hands were laid on distinguished members of the “ regency,” and such magnates in the land as Erastus Corning and Edward Croswell, were forced to seek safety by flight, through most undignified exits from windows and along sheds. All Albany was there; and Mr. Van Buren among the rest. Much was said, afterwards, about his having countenanced the indignaties and violence done to the discomfited “hunkers;” but as no proof was ever attempted against him, while other prominent “ barnburners” were actually indicted, it is manifest that these charges were merely, as usual, the offspring of par.

It was a memorable era in the lory of the democratic party, it not less so in the career of Mr. Van Buren. It was a convention of distinguished strength and talent. The master spirits of both parties were among its members—Barker, Cambreleng, Ring, Grover, Rath bun and Field on one side; and on the other, Brady, Seymour, Stryker, and Beckham.— The very flower of the democracy was there. To be an equal among such men was an honor. But in the heat and press of the struggle, John Van Buren, like the Grecian King at Troy, stood a head and shoulders above them all. He was rejected as a delegate by the convention. That was not much to him. He was too great a quarry for the hunkers to let him slip,

ity to his friends* That he carries to the utmost. He never shrinks from his- them, though to^tand by them is cerwas tain ruin. His friendship has, in that respect, the devotion of the deeper

feeling of which the poet says:

Through the furnace unshrinking thy

steps I’ll pursue;

And shield thee, and save thee, or

perish there too.

The elements of popularity in his character are not merely of a public nature. In common with all who have ever distinguished themselves as popular leaders, he has the happy faculty of attracting equally all classes of men in public or in private. His conversation is most brilliant in the social circle; the wine does not sparkle brighter, and his is the joke that is sure to set

the table ifi a roar.

His style of speaking is strongly marked. Endowed by nature or education with coolness and possession that arc imperturahle, and at times, perfectly superb, he has the habit of

of his steel. Most men remembered him simply as the son of a Bresident— a young man rather ornamental than useful, the “ Brince John,” in short, of the London gossip; smart, good lookin,and well bred, with rather a narrow escape ol being a dandy. Not six men in the state were prepared for the powers he manifested at the eonven lion. Like the Irish rebellion, he broke out forty thousand strong when no body expected it. Thenceforth his course has been sufficiently direct and decided. He seems to have felt that for him, the Rubicon had been passed. He came at once into the contest, with a heartiness and vigor which, while it attached his party to him more firmly than ever, and established him in the leadership, in the same degree embittered his opponents. His speeches at Albany, (directly after his return from Syracuse,) and at Herkimer, were marked with a boldness, a point and an eloquence unknown in the political contests ol the state. He did not hesitate to avow that he would not vote “ the Syracuse ticket”—with invective that overwhelmed, and sarcasm that cut to the bone, he assailed the candidates on the ticket, the men that made it, and all who supported it. He aroused the whole State. Every blow told. For weeks he employed the entire hunker press in this State in parrying or returning his attacks; he made himself felt even at Washington. He rose to a position of importance, not only in the State, but in the Union. IBs latest speech at Hudson, before the Columbia County Convention, if less pungent than those at Syracuse, Albany and Herkimer, was considered by many as his best effort. As an exposition of the great and difficult question of the Wilmot Broviso, it is the most able, nor is it wanting in pungency. Here and there his native edge would bite through. For instance, a passage which is said to have produced the greatest impression, and which is not in the published report of his speech. Speaking of the prevailing tendency of the young men of the day to be “ barnburners,” and its effect on the relative position of the two sections, within a few years he said: “ Wherever 1 go, I see a new race of men between twenty-one and thirty, pressing forward into political life in the republican party. 1 find, that almost without exception, they espouse with warmth and vigor the doctrines

| Fhonographu- Report by Dr. Stone. \

And now, Mr. Bresident, one word if you will pardon me. (Go on.) My friend who lias preceded me has brought two names in what may seem to you, at|fii;St view, a novel conjunction; John Quincy Adams and Martin Van Buren. I propose to show to you still further evidence of that conjunction. J hold in my hand papers which have never before been presented to the public, but which will furnish some evidence of the position which John Quincy Adams would have occupied at this moment, had his life been spared to the cause of freedom. I had no purpose of introducing them on this occasion, but the remarks to which I have just listened, seemed to prepare the way for them,

and you shall have them.

A gentleman from New Hampshire, happening in Albany, Oct. 23, 1847, interested very much in the Wilmot Broviso, and in the organization of a Northern party on that platform, from the city of Albany, addressed a letter to a.friend in Boston, asking him if he would ascertain whether JNO. QUINCY ADAMS would UNITE with Mr. Wilmot, MARTIN VAN BUREN, P re's ton King, and Mr. Cambrel'mg, to organize such a party. It should be added that it did not appear that he was authorized to use the names of these gentlemen, but made the inquiry on his own responsibility. The letter making that application was received on Sun day morning, it closes by saying, “I should be pleased to hear by the returning mail what decision Mr. Adams may form, as it may be decisive in governing the future action, upon the other hand, of the Wilmot Proviso Demo-

crats.”

I have in my hands a copy of the letter written by that gentleman, Dr. Bowditch, on Sunday evening, Oct. 31st, describing the interview he had with John Quincy Adams on that day. I read to you the precise words written at that time, and speeded by the mail that night, in order to inform that gentlemen, then in Albany, of the position of Mr. Adams. “Learning from Mr. C. F. Adams, that his father was to start for Washington to-morrow, I went to Quincy tins B. M. I found the old gentleman quite feeble, and inclined to feel that his course was nearly run. He complained of great debility, that had been, of late, augmenting daily. He spoke with much interest of the movement, and approves of it, but says he cannot put

‘ his name to any call, us he feels that by so doing, he would pledge himself to labor for the cause more than he can possibly do. In fact, 1 have rarely seen him so debilitated. 1 lehasdoubt whether be shall ever reach Washington, and intimates that this will be bis last session, and therefore he cannot do as we wish. 1 felt it to he indelicate to urge upon the old man, worn out in the service of his country, any action that was not entirely in accordance with his feelings. Still I gain courage (rom the interview. He approves of our cause, and bids us God speed. Perhaps others, when he arrives at Washington, may persuade him to do what I.could

not.”

Mark these words of encouragement —“He approves of our cause, rind bids us God speed.” It does not appear that he declined to be associated with Martin Van Buren, or thought that he could not take a place on the same platform. I know, fellow-citizens, where John Quincy Adams must have been if he had lived. Drawing his earliest breath with the first opposition to British tyranny; passing into childhood with the Declaration of Independence ; taking his place in manhood with the Federal Constitution ; the great contemporary of our history, he must have been with all the advocates of freedom. Fellow-citizens, I am tempted to say, seeing the spirit which animates your faces, that the work is almost done today; that the victory is already achieved ; but I will not say that, for I wish to stimulate you to renewed, and constant exertions in the cause. In your own especial neighborhoods, do what you can to unite all our friends* As was said of that great Frenchman, Carnot, “Organize, victory.” The sentiment of opposition to the Slave Bower, to the extension of Slavery, and to its longer continuance under the Constitution wherever the Federal Government is responsible for it, though recognized by individuals, and adopted also by a small and inflexible party, has now for the first time become the leading principle of a broad, formidable, and national organization. It is indeed, as Mr. Webster has lately said, no new idea; it is as old as the Declaration of Independence. But it is an idea now for the first time recognized by a great political party ; for if the old parties had been true to it. there would have been no occasion for our organization. It is said our idea is sectional. How is that ? Because the Slave-holders live at the South ? As well might we say that the Tariff' is sectional because the manufacturers live at the North. It is said that we have but one idea. I deny that; but admitting that it is so, are we not with our one idea better than a party with no ideas at all? And what is our one idea? It is the idea which combined our fathers on the heights of Bunker Hill. It Is the idea which carried Washington through the trials of a seven years’ war; which inspired Lafayette ; which touched with deals of fire, the lips of Adams, Otis, and Batiick Henry. Ours is an idea which is, at least, noble and elevating; it is an idea which draws in its train, justice, humanity, and all the charities of life, and all that makes earth a home of improvement and happiness. Her path where’er the goddess roves tllory pursues nnd generous shuine, The unconqueralde mind and freedom’s holy

llame.

We found now a new party. Its corner-stone is Freedom. Its broad, all-sustaining arches are Truth, Justice and Humanity. (Cheers.) Like the ancient Roman capital, at once a temple and a citadel, it shall he the fit shrine of the genius of American institutions. An apt Illustration.-At the Bqugh- : keepsie meeting, John Van Buren illustrated the danger of committing the Free Soil principle to the care of a ; slaveholder, in the following language: “As I am addressing an audience agi ricultural to some extent, 1 may be permitted to ask in a familiar way, whether if any of you had taken the pains to raise a pet lamb, and from circumstances were compelled to part with it, you would consign it to the devouring wolf in the mountain, on the opposite side of the Hudson, or commit it to the custody of a responsible person, who had made you a promise in writing to preserve and defend it? As well might you commit that lamb to such a wolf, as to trust the free soil principle to a slaveholder, who had been born, who had lived, and who had been educated South of Mason and Dixon’s line, or to any man who had become bound at a price of office to the slave power in the dominions referred to.”
