expeditions and communicate pleasing proof of
their attachment to Republican principles. Mr..
Van Is i,o"ever. was observed to be very cautious
how lie approached the boiler. and was once heard
to observe in the most persuasive and insnua-
ting Manner that there had lately been moss
distressing accident board the Oliver Ellsworth
as she was coming down the river from Hartford"
We should not, perhaps. have noticed this remark
had not Mr.. Cambreeng followed it up with :.
look, full of genius and appcation.'' at the sound
of the word Hartford, which carried US back 10
the Convention and all its horrors. Mr.. Can5re-
leng said nothing, but plainly thought that the
Isteanhoats were a very unsafe CONVEYANCE, out oi
the patriot States" We have never seen il Per.
son whose silence was so oraCular as Mr.. Canbre-
leng's.
Each of the gentlemen is furnished with large
travelling coat, which, in cold wet weather, or
towards night fall he usually puts on In truths
we know not how they could stand justified to their
c0nsciences, should they, by any want OF attention
to their health deprive their country, at this CRISIS
of their valuable services. In putting on their
coats, were struck with strong marks Of ndvidt
ualitv of character. Mr.. v B. held the collar of
his with his right hand, thrust the left arm fully up
the sleeve as far as it would 90, then hall incnng
his shoulders, that the coat might not drop down
wards, put his right hand back to the right arm holes
and drew on the other sleeve. with grace and al"
dress we have never seen eqnalled We happened
to have second hand watch in cur fob. and can
assure the public that one minute and thirteen
seconds only elapsed from the time Mr.. Y u. COM
menced till he finished this operation. Mr.. Cam
breeng. on the other hand, with the ready careless
manner Of 4" well bred buckskin.' clapped his
two hands in the two arm holes, and Whisked his
coat round. over his head, sailor fashion, IN seven
seconds Mr.. V. b. looked at him archly, and
said, "you are getting quite adrot. Cambreleng,
at that" Mr.. V. b. in this gentle hint about turs
ming his coat, was supposed to allude to Mr. Cam
breleng's letter about . State Rights" written SO
soon after asserting the right Of Congress to endow
deaf and duuih hospitals, relieve The sufferers at
Alexandria, and Carry the pension system to its
full extent. 10 this sally Of Mr. " r., Cambreleng
made no reply, but raised his eyes towards him,
with look that seemed to say, f" thank sou tor
nothing" Both the sentemen's coats were made
loose and easy, the lining of as good quality as the
exterior, and capable of being shifted. and worn
either side out, as may be most convenient.
A most remarkable instance took place at Mr..
Macon's breakfast, of the insnuatlng address Of
Mr.. V. b., which, at the same time. gave Mr.
Cambreleng an opportunity of showing the reach
of his genius and application" We take the
greatest pleasure in laying these interesting par
ticuars before our readers. Mr.. Macon's break
fast consisted OF coffee corn bread, rone cake.
boiled eggs bacon. and cheese MIR. " H., like
many other persons never eats cheese, having
natural antipathy to it. Mr.. Macon. in the true
spirit OF Southern hospitality, begged Mr.. Van
Buren, to help himself to cheese Mr.. Van Bu-
rem declined, but instead Of mentioning a rea-
son. his natural dislike, he told MIR. Macon, in
the most insinuatng and winning manner, that
:. he did not cat cheese of late" =" And why
not 20 inquired the venerable Macon. s.Whv,

inhabitants Of the place, ourselves among The num-
Der, peeping in at the window, to witness
, the interesting spectace,) for this reason, said
2 MIR. V. B.; most exorbitant duty is laid upon
foreign cheese, in order to promote the manutac~
G ture of the domestic article. Now hold, that
making cheese is a thing. which the States have
reserved to themselves, over which Congress has
no control, and have determined ~ set my face
against this constructive usur2ation.'' ''By not
setting your teeth into the domestic a, tcle, in

the company heartily oined. Canbre!eng, BY the
way, is the wag of the party
To this testing remark Of Mr.. Cambreleng,
Governor Burton, vho pres nj, said aside,
"You'd have your match to set your teeth ate
this. any how it is the real white oak"
MIR. Cambreeng caught the last words, AM, all

: pointing, in fact, to some indications of vitality.
