Tiut-'a Cabinet when CwoZ7 &l left their pUcea, now resigned this place also induced, as it waa well known, by the altered deportment of the President towarda him; and was suc ceeded first by Mr. Legare, of South Caro lina, and, on his early death, by Mr. Up shur, of Virginia." By a series of adroit manoeuvres, the man in the world who most desired the election of Martin Van Buren, and was most opposed to the elevation of Calhoun, was made to endorse a movement which had for its sole object the frustration of Mr. Van Buren'a hopes and the gratification of Mr. Calhoun'a ambi tion. The managers even endeavored to enlist the cooperation of Colonel Benton, who had always been a Texas man, who had opposed its relinquishment, had tried to get it back, and was in favor of its acquisition. But, knowing the real object of the scheme, he bluntly said, when he was approached, that it was an intrigue for the Presidency and a plot to dissolve the Union, aud that he was against it. The plot went on, nevertheless, and the avowed purpose, the public object, the annex ation, was accomplished. But as to Mr. Cal houn, his elevation to the Presidency was never so much as thought of by the Demo cratic party, or by any members of it except his own immediate circle of friends and allies. In May, 1844, the Convention of the Demo cratic party met at the city of Baltimore. Mr. Van Buren, beaten in 1840, claimed the nomi nation in 1844, because he had been defeated through the firmness with ' wliich he had maintained party principles, amid circum stances of peculiar trial. The party generally admitted his claim, and a decided majority of the delegates went to the Convention in structed to vote for him. But he wH against the immediate annexation of Texas, and the Southern faction were resolved upon his defeat, which they accomplished by two ingenious, audacious, and original tricks. As soon aa the Convention had assembled, but before it was organized, before the papers of the delegates had been examined, before prayers, before a permanent chairman had Leon appointed, a motion was introduced requiring a concurrence of two-thirds of the delegates to effect a nomination. The friends of Van Buren saw the game, and resisted it, but they resisted it in vain. The motion waa carried, and it was death to Mr. Van Buren's hopes. Next to Mr. Van Buren, the most promi nent candidate was Lewis Cass, recently re turned from his mission to France, who had publicly committed himself to the policy of inimtdiate annexation seventeen days before the Convention met. The Southern chiefs accepted this bid for their support; Cass was tbeir man. It soou appeared, however, that Mr. Van Buren was too strong a candi date to be easily set aside, and it proved still move dillicult to elect a candidate to whom his real friends were unchangeably opposed. Upon the first ballot, Van Buren received one hundred and forty-six votes, which waa twenty-four more than a majo rity; Casa received eighty-three votes; Richard M. Johnson, twenty-four; Calhoun, six; and seven votes were scattered. After many in effectual ballotings, and after a struggle, within and without the Convention, of almost unparalleled intensity, it became evident that neither Van Buren nor Cass could ever com mand, in that Convention, a vote of two thirds of the whole number. To insure Mr. Van Buren's defeat, another political trick waa then devised, of which Cave Johnson, of Tennessee, was the originator. This trick was the introduction of a candidate entirely new, too insignificant to have been the object of controversy, and, at the same time, known to be devoted to the Texan scheme, or any other measure designed to favor the planting interest. James K. Polk, of Tennessee, who had been thought of for the Vice-Presidency by the frienda of Mr. Van Buren, waa the man selected. The device was highly ingenious, the man was well chosen; and it was managed in such a way that Mr. Van Buren's own State was made to seem to take the lead in it. Atter one or two experimental ballotings, Mr. Polk received the unanimous vote of the Conven tion. The defeated rivala hastened to give their assent; Mr. Polk secretly bound himself to the suppression of the indomitable Blair and the troublesome Globe, so hostile to Mr. Calhoun; the Nullitters triumphed, and the Democratic patty was kept united. The people ratified these proceedings by electing Mr. Polk to the Presidency, although by an exceedingly small popular majerity. It seemed hard to many of us, then, to set aside the brilliant, the honorable, the pa triotic Henry Clay, and choose in his place the weak and pliant tool of a traitorous fac tion, determined to rule or ruin. But, even at this short distance of time, we can begin to discern that then, as evor, the American veople made a decision which, upon the whole, was the best they were permitted to make. If Mr. Clay had been elected, we should have had another series of efforts to reestablish and destroy a national bank, and no one can say to what lengths he might not have gone in fastening upon the country a protective system still more rigorous, cramping, and obstructive than that from which we have Kince suffered. During one short term, he might have held in suspended animation the great controversy between the North and the South; but it would have revived in all its fury, and swept him away, in 184S. Polk, on the contrary, by precipitating annexa tion, at the price of war with Mexico, may be said to have created the political party which finally, at such an expense of blood aud trea sure, broke the power or tue Bouiuern ou- garchy, set free their slaves, ana maae the United States a nation. Mr. Van Buren had hia revenge. Uia friends considered that Mr. Cass, in permitting hia name to be used against Mr. Van Buren, in the Convention of 1S44, and especially in not withdrawing his name when it became certain he could not be nominated, had violated both the usages of the Democratic party and the courtesies of public life. He resented it ac cordingly; his friends resented it; and, especially, his son John. In May, 1848, the nominating Convention of the Demo cratic party assembled at Baltimore, and again Lewis Casa waa the highest bidder for the support of the control ling Southern faction. The inextinguish able controversy between slavery and freedom had assumed a new phase. The "Wilmot Proviso" waa the question of the day. Many Northern Democrats were growing restive under the domination of the plantera, and every man of mind and conscience among them felt the enormous shame and groBa impolicy of extending the area of Blavery through the in strumentality of a party lounaea in the inte rests of universal freedom; or, as Mr. Van Buren haa expressed it, the Democrats of the North were beginning to question the right of Democrats in the South to demand the support of measures and principles, "in sustain ing which they could not be sustained at home." Lewia Cass, however, waa not one of these. A few months before tue assemunng ef the Convention, he published his once cele brated "Nicholson Letter." in which he com mitted h mself asrainst the "Wiliuot rroviso," the principle of which he had once supported. He opposed it on the usual crounds: First, j t waa an obstacle to the acquisition of desira ble territory; and, secondly, as needless, since slavery was not likely to be introduced into the provinces which Mexico was about to code. Avowing that he had changed his opinion on the subject, he saidin his justification, that public opinion had also changed. The South ern lords once more took hia bid. So far aa depended on them, he had hia reward. On the fourth ballot of the Baltimore Convention he received the requisite two-thirds vote, which made him the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. But it was not written in the book of des tiny that Lewis Casa nhould ever be the PresU dent of the United States. Among those, as we have just observed, who had most keenly resented the conduct of Mr. Cass, in 1844, was John Van Buren, son of the ex President. The father was happy and con tented enough upon his farm at Kinderhook, where he expended the income of a considera ble estate in scientific agriculture, and a part of his leisure in calmly reviewing the political history of the country. Having little rancor in his composition, and leing in truth a stead fast Democrat, Martin Van Buren would never, if left to himself, have interfered to prevent the election of hia rival. His son John, how ever, was a man of different mettle. Not very successful in the profession of the law, nor much incliued to the plodding industry by which alone success in it is gained, a free liver aud boon companion, without serious convic tions on any subject, he threw himself iuto politics as a recreation and an amuse ment. He it was who had most to do with organizing the Freesoil party of 1848, which nominated for the Presidency Martin Van Buren. "The old man" not only did not advise the movement, but was not even aware of his son's intention, until the nomination was announced to him. Colonel Benton took the alarm, and went to New York to endeavor to get the Freesoil or ganization 'abandoned, lie might have suc ceeded with the father, but he could not influ ence the son; and it was the son who prevailed upon the father to accept a nomination which he did not desire, and of which he did not ap prove. By exertions upon the stump seldom equalled either in amount or audacity, John Van Buren drew off a sufficient number of voters iu New York to give the State to Gene ral Taylor. The defection of New York de feated Cass, elected Taylor, and avenged the house of Van Buren. What a lesson to politicians waa the result of this election 1 In playing the Presidential game they had precipitated the country into a needless war with Mexico, and that war raised up a victorious general to snatch the ill-gotten sceptre from their hands. The fomenting of a war for political objects is at once the greatest crime and the greatest mis take which it is possible for a politician to commit; since a needless war, besides being a national calamity and a shame, is sure to bring forward a crowd of popular soldiers to push the politicians from their seats.

The rapid progress ot the Tnlon Pacific Railroad, cow building west frtmOruaba, JSebraitka. and form ing, with Its western connections, an unbroken line across the continent, attracts attention to the value of the First Mortgage Bonds which the Company now offer to the public The first question asked by prudent Inventors Is, "Are these bonds secure T" Next, "Are they a profitable Investment T" To reply In brief: 1'lrat. The early completion of the whole great line to thePaclflo Is as certain as any future business event can be. The Government grant of over twenty mil lion acres of land and flay million dollars in Its own bonds practically guarantees It. One-fourth of the work Is already done, and the track coutluues to be laid at the rate ot two miles a day. Second. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds are issued upon what promises to be one of the most proatable lines of railroad In the country. For many years it mast be the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pa cific; and being without competition, It can maintain remunerative rates. Third. 376 miles of this road are finished, and fully equipped with depots, locomotives, cars, etc., and two ttalns are dally running each way. The materials for the remaining 141 miles to the eastern base of tha Itocky Mountains are on hand, and It Is under con tract to be done In Spptember. fourth. The net earnings of the sections already UnlHlied are several times greater than the gold In terest upon the First Mortgage bonds upon such sec tions, and if not another mile of the road were built, the part already completed would not only pay Inte rest and expenses, but be profitable to the Company. Filth. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds can be Is sued only as the road progresses, and therefore can never be In the market unless they represent a bona pile property. Sixth. Their amount is strictly limited by law to a sum equal to what Is granted by the United States Government, and for which It takes a second lien as Its security. This amount upon the first 617 miles west iroin Omaha is only l6,uco per mile. (seventh. The fact that the United States Govern ment considers a second Hen upon the road a good In vestment, and that some of tue shrewdest railroad builders of the country have already paid In five mil lion dollars upon the stock (which is to them a third lien), may well inspire confidence in a first Hen. Eighth. Although it Is not claimed that therecanbe any better securities than Governments, there are parties who consider a first mortgage upon such a property as this the very best security In the world, and who sell their Governments to reinvest In these bonds, thus securing a greater Interest. Ninth. As the Union Pacific Railroad bonds are offered for the preseut at 90 cents on the dollar and accrued Interest, they are the cbeapeut security In the market, being 13 per cent, less than United States stocks. Tenth. At the current rate of premium on gold they pay OVER NINE PER CENT. INTEREST.
