Won this timely warning, so that if you have |
sou to save. (Which doubD you can attend to
that little matter at once. There is no escape
for Won. You may call around you your whole
guard of the Kitchen, armed with their pokers,
not-hooks, ladies, forks, carving-knlves, and
cleavers-but it will be OF no use, we shaii run
Won through and through with your own spit,
tumble YOU into the dripping-pan, and toss you
out of doors with the tongs. AS Tor Barry, we
shall make the Rev. Obadiah Brown smother
him in a mailbag by sort Of innocent mis-
take' and compel Tom Moore on pam OF
cowhiding, to frank him to Beelzebub IN the
fast MALL Mr. Van Buren, stands charged with
being wizard; and we shall try him for the
crime, according to the ancient New England
statute. We shall throw him into the Potomac,
bound neck and heels; and if he floats he Is
wizard and must be burnt but if he sinks he IS
no wizard and we shall let him sink quietly ana
say no more about him. Be so good as TO tell
the President that as Lieut.. Randolph IS one OF
our number, it will be well for him to stand OH
and not thrust his nose into the affair. No more
at present.
The condition of the administration and its
forces in the Senate has no example in the his
tory of parties 1t is truly ridiculous Mark the
men who are depended upon to sustain the Pre-
sdent in his late violent measures. Col. Benton
has fallen into dead silence. Mr.. Wilkins has
of him. Mr. Wright speaks seldom and eau
tiously-or generally for the purpose of defend
ing himself or explaining or correcting some
previous mistake. Mr.. Sheptey had hardly taken
the field before he sang his death song, in mourn
full strains through his tuneful nose. Mr.. For
syth is perpetually getting up and sitting down,
but nobody can say for what; he is for and
against the bank, and evidently i'll at ease be-
tween the President and the Peope-between his
hopes and fears. He carries on puny, scratch
ing war; which neither helps nor hurts any body;
he is ready to quarrel with any body, because
he is dissatisfied with himself There is one
Mr.. Broom. another jumper up, without OBJECT
or effect He rises simply to speak, without re-
gard to what he says-he splaShes and spluttters
| like delighted duck in a gutter, and makes the
water, nothing more, fly about him. 1t is alto
gether q miserable concern; and II President
| Jackson could deserve pity, it would be to see
him surrounded by such counsellers as direct
him in private, and such champions as defend
him in public.-Nat. Gaz.
Martin Fan Buren, and the Bdnk.-A friend
sends to us from Philadelphia, the copy of a me-
| mortal from certain citizens of Albany, in July
1926, to the U. States Bank at Philadelphia pray
| ing the establishment of a branch in that City.
The memorial is signed among many others, by
Martin Yam Buren,, b. f. Butler (now Attorney
! GeneraD Charles T.. Dudley late Senator, Tm
|
| bany Regency enmassee.
The memorial is couched in terms Of earnest
entreaty.-Rich. Whig.
AS General Jackson is likely to be "pestered"
by committees deputed by an oppressed and out
ragged people, it would save him some trouble
and the exhibition ONO little passion ifh would
have his reply to their complaints stereotyped.-
There would be this advantage too in adopting
this course-all would be treated alike. The
golden calf, monster, ten Spanish Mquisitions,
ANDREW Jackson, &C. figure in all his speeches,
and it would save time to have printed copies
ready for each delegation.-Bah. Chron.
Uhat's IN q name?-The existing President
has a happy mode of putting his decisions be-
yond doubt, which did not occur to his less ego
tstical predecessors in Office, and they there
fore had to express themselves with great cir
cumlocution. They never said will not do SO
or so, while my name is Thomas Jefferson:
James Madison, James Monroe, &C. BY the
way, if the only difficulty with the General is his
name, let him apply to the Legislature of Massa-
chusetts, and havei altered. 1t can be done by
a line in a bill which is now preparing.
Boston Centinel.
