our respected friends the Second Comptroller and the
successor of Mrs Barney's husband Our old friend
Dabney should keep COOL He is in comfortable birth
and unless we are misnformed, is no longer advo-
cate for his once favore doctrine of ''rotaon in Of
tce.' He who once needed friend may, per chance,
ueed him again But really if the object of these off
ciaI gentry is to righten US into the ranks of Mr.
Van Buren they have, 20 use the quaint phrase OF the
member from Tennoeeeo ''barked up the wrong tree'

Yielded private interest instead OF performing our
public duty would have been so blind as not to
