write my Proclamations and Vetoes with
and SO the Gincral shook hands agin
and to rights says he, where is the rest
on you; and he took up the list and read
all their names over, aud then come
| trouble.
| They told the Ginerai, nary one on
'eni ever had bcen Mayor, and none OF,
'em ever seat an Eagle 10 The Ginernl
but one say he had the honor al making
the furniture for the Gincral's room,
when he was OIL at York, Oh The Grand
IOwer; and then he handed the Cintral
his card, tcllin about his work and "a =
mother stepp'd no and tell'd the GineraI
he had the honor Of sellin it at Auction,
arter the Gineral was done usin ou':;
and he gin tho Gineral another card, tel
lin what his business was IN y NOrk. The
Gineral look'd at 'em spell, and then
he looked at tother one, but he bad NO
card; he said he didn't do no business,
because he had on office under the Gov
ernment The Gineral begun to thin,
there Was another mistake, and he look d
at me, and l tip'd him wink, and jisl
WHISPERED in his ear,-",ry 'em on Gio-
ry IA spell, Gineral, says |, and there
will be no mistake arter that" and so
the G.neral went at it, and sure enuf on
never sec criturs spruce up as they did;
aud the further the Gineral got into Glo-
'ry and Reform, the louder these criturs
hWruw'd for us; and Dennis got at it
too, and that made jist six on US, and
we settled up matters as clear as his
tie. There warn't no distress no where
one said, Mahogany was as cheap as
pine boards was spell ago, and so was
labor; and If the Gineral would only go.
Oh and put down the Bank, and would
give hIm an order to ma.e him some ta-
bles, he would shew the difference; g.
mother said times never was better for
his business, for he expected this spring
to have the scllin OF nigh upon all the
house hold furniture in New Y Ork; and
the other said he was content SO long as
the party hung together, for he 60, his
honest Iivin out Of the public money, and
that didn't belong to no body but the
Gineral; and then we all turn'd to, agn,
and had another spell Of Glory and hs-
rawin.
The Gineral was tickled most desper-
ately, and he tell'd 'em all to stay and
take dinner with US; and as soon as Com
gress was let out, we had good large
party, and we all sol down and talked D.
yer matters; and us we had now jist the
kind OF folks from New-Yor. to tell the
Congress folks, and all our other friends
what the rale state Of things VAS North,
and that there warn't no distress there,
and them other fellows telfd you about
in my last letter, ony come here to throw
dust in our eyes. Evry thing was now
as light as sunshine, and it will ta e a
good many Committees and Petitions
too, to make the Gneral bulge an inch
now.
The GineraI tell'd these good folks
from Tammany Hall, he'd like to have
'em stay here as long as Congress re-
mains here, and they may COVE and put
up in the White House, and they shant
spend cent Of their own money. As
soon a. the Gineral said that, one on 'em
got up from the table and walked round
to the Gineral, and whispered something
in the Gineral's ear. For a spell the
GineraI looked plagy blank, and all |
could hear him say was g What -
"Rent"--"Can't pay" 81 see" says
the Gineral, show it is--thal's Biddle's
work--l'Il disappoint him'--and with
that he call'd Amos, and whispered
something to him, and he whispered
something TO Tawney, and he whispered
agin to Major Blair, and 50 it went
round till one on 'em got up and went
over to the Treasury, and brought in
some money, and the Giaeral settled up
that matter pretty quick--and So that's
pretty much all Pvs got to say about this
Taminany Committee-andi If you want
to know abou; some other things that's
poin on here that haint got time TO write
about, I'D advise you to read Dennis
M'Loony's letters; he writes a leetle
evry day to his friends in Ireland, and to
gA il home safe, he tells me he sends h's
letters to Mr.. King, who prints the New
York American. Dennis and are pret-
ty good friends, considering-but he
says he don't like the Yankees bit,
and to be even with him l tell him like
his countrymen amazing ly-so we wont
quarrel on that hook. Yours, &c.
