Van Buron was regardod ns & posilive bar to the nuccoss of our exhibition, and dampenod at onco overy disposi- tion which might have existed to tako port in it. The subsequons appointment of assistants was a continuance of bad omen, and Gen. Van Buren's lan\nmquor::;ljY proved incompetonco was sufticiont- ly indicnf in advance by his first uction in roferenco totho aifnirs of the exhibition. It is whispored that Gov. Fish wishod to bo rid of Mr. Van Buren’s claim to somo othor foreign appointmont by thrusting him on tho Viennn Exhibition. Docs any ono beliove that if Gon, Grant had appointed Mr, Bockwith, or Gon, Shorman, or even Gen. McGlellan to the rllwu of Chie! Commissiouer, that there would hnve beon any such distrust of tho fate of tho Awerican anmrtmnnb? If thomost Ut man had beon selooted, would not only the Con- gressional appropriation have beon o matter of comparative facility, but would not the wholo industrinl intorost of the country at ouco have been enlisted in bohalf of an undortaking in which the Government bLad slown the highest aud most patriotic intoreat ? I think that I can- not bo mistakon in tho concurrance of opinion on these poiuts exprossed by Amoricans in Vi- ouns. But still failure was not disgrace, and, as wo Diavo always faild comparatively, wo might be contont to nccopt tho rule, and go on failing. ‘Tho testimony of the investigation will show on whom the iminedinte rosponsibility of the cor- ruption must lio; but ono thing is cloar—that tho momont Gon.

If, in his efforts to oxoludo thoso mon, he prooip- itated tho scandal which is mattor of history, tho fault is not his, but that of the Governmen| which would not pry sttontion to his waruings, snd porsisted in sending Mr. Moyor after the charges ngunsi him were known in Washington, Mr. Jay's justification, or the roverse, must boe found in tho documents he thon forwarded to tho Government; but the charges Gon.
