Speaking Of Mr.. e. G. Cambreleng, Mr..
Hardin says:

come into this hall, and hear the chairman Of
the Committee Of Ways and Means on the
same subject; whether the efforts of the great
mOnied officer Of this House would most ex.
cite his laughter on eoRtempt, cannot tell !;
the sublime and IudicrOus are so nearly aHiqd.
His feelings would be not unlike those of an
amateur Of the great and avs ul workings of
nature. who had just been spectator Of We.

tremendous eruption, and then turning on the
plan below, and seeing mole or an ant bill
emitting pale smoke, and occasionally a
feeble and sickly bIaze.'
Speaking Of Mr.. Van Buren,, Mr.. Hardin
says:
" 1t has been visible to the whole American
people for some years past that Gen. Jackson
has been, and is now, ambitious Of designating
his successor; and that all his power, innu-
ence, and patronage have been directed to the
elevation Of his favorite, whose only recon-
Inendation Is his servity, syeophaney, and
ahject f1attery Of the President one who
weeps when he frowns, and laughs aloud when
he smiles and who has no merit but hat is
reflected on him from General Jackson
Like the moon, he shines by borrowed light
altogether.
"Mr. Van Buren, claims the Presidency as
paternal estate, by descent; he arrOgates to
himself, by magical kind of inheritance, the
gtories achieved by jackson in the last war;
The party cannot meet to do any thing for
him, unless il be on the 9th of January, the
day when the western hunters won the victO-
~ at New Orleans. do not know wheth
er it is most calculated to excite our laughter,
or indignation and contempt, at seeing the
glory obtained on that day transferred from
the West to New .York-a State, during our
revolutionary war, only famed for tories"
These " Scraps will serve to give some
idea ofthe unsparing severity with which Mr.
Hardin assails those who cross his path, or
with whom he comes in contact.
