 to the right arm hole, and drew on the other
 sleeve, with grace and address we have never
 seen equaled. We happened to have sec
 Ond hand watch in our fob, and can assure the public that one minute and thirteen sec Onds only elapsed from the time Mir. V. B. commenced till he finished this Oppera!ion. 1 MT. Camberleng, on the other hand, with the ready careless manner of "well bred buck skin,' clapped his two hands into the two { arm holes, and whisked his coat round, over his head sailor fashion, in seven seconds MT. V. B. looked at him archly, and said. you are getting quite adrot, Camberng, at that.' Mir. V. B. in this gentle hint about turning his coat, was supposed to allude tO Mir. Cam berleng's letter about ''State Rights written l so soon after asserting the right of Congress to endow deaf and dumb hospitals. relieve | the sufferers at Alexandria, and carry the pen sion system to it's full extent. To this sally of MT: V. B. Camberleng made no reply, but 1 raise ed his eyes towards him, with look that 1 seemed to say, ''thank you for nothing" Both the gentlemen'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 con- venfeat.
 A most remarkable instance took place at MT. Macons Breakfasts, of the insinuating address of Mir. V. B., which, at the same time, gave MT. Camberleng an opportunity of showing the reach of his "genios and app
 cation." We take the greatest pleasure in laying these interesting particulars before our readers. Mir. MacOn's breakfast consisted of Coffee, corn bread, pone- cake, boiled eggs, bacon, and cheese. MT. V. B., like many O. ther persons, never eats cheese, having a nat ural antipathy to it. MT. Macon, in the true spirit of Southern hospitality, begged MT. V. B. to 'help himself to cheese.' Mr. Van Blu ren declined, but instead of mentioning as a reason,his natural dislike, he told MT. Macon, in most insinuating and winning manner, that he did not eat cheese of late.' And why not ?" inquired the venerable Macon. "Why, for this reason," said MT. V. B.; and here you should have seen him as we did (for the principal inhabitants ofthe place, ourselves among the number, were peeping in at a window, to witness the interesting spectacle,)
 6 for this rsason said MT. V. B.; most ex- orbitant duty is laid on foreign cheese, in or- der to promote the manufacture of the do- mestic article. Now I hold that making cheese is thing, which the States have re- served to themselves, over which Congress has no control, and I have determined to set my face against this destructive usurpa- tion." By not setting your teeth into the domestic article," interrupted Mir. Camber- leng, with laugh, in which the company heartily joined. Canberleng, by the way, is the wag of the party.
 To this testing remark of MT. Gambler leng, Governor Button, who was prsent, said aside, "You have your match to set your teeth into this, any how; it is the real white oak"
 Mr. Camberleng caught the last words, and added, you might have said ltUe ouk. Gov ernor,"-pointing in fact to some indications of vitality. Another general laugh followed this sally.
 "But, joking apart" said the venerable Macon, when the laughter had little subsid- ed, "Mr. Van Buren is right. l should like to know, in what part of the Constitution the General Government is vested with the pow CT to protect the manufacture of cheese. Nay, gentlemen, appeal to you, that the word cheese is not to be found in the Constit ution. Mir. Van Buren thank you for vindicating | this reserved right to the individual States. Boy, take the white oak from the table, and never let me see it again till the duty on for eigh cheese is repealed. In a crisis like this, will, at least, have the consolation of being innocent of this grievous oppression of the Southern States"
 "Call it not grievous oppression of the SoU- thern States alOne." said Mr. Camberleng, " have written letters to the City of New York, on the subject, and let me lay before you the astonishing result result omin- ous to the great navigation and commercial interest of the country. This iniqAtous tax was first imposed in 179O, and was then 4 cents per pound. It has since been raised to nine. For every pound of cheese eaten therefore in the country, the poor oppress- ed consumer pays to the pampered dairy interest nine cents. It is computed, that the inhabitants of the United States eat, one with another, three pounds of cheese, each, per annum. Taking our population at 12
 millions, this is Ss millions of pounds. Nine cents a pound on this quantity would give the enormous sum of SS,24O,OOO annually paid to pamper the cheese-making interest of the country. AgaiI, but for this ini- quitous tariff, S6 millions of pounds of cheese would be annually imported, at about ten cents per pound, and principally, through the port of New=York; Here is a capital of 8 1-2 millions of dQllsssx in the single arti- cIe of cheese withdraW& from commerce, ,and all to gratfy an ovefWsening avarice and monopolizing spirit of the-chee manufactu- rers. Such are the burdens laid upon us.
 It is therefore peculiarly gratifying that the Patriot States are awake to the common | danger"
 The company were astonished at this dis
 play of MT. Camberleng's genius and ap-
