homes, satisfied for the present presuu
with racing. Without the smallest love I

a single occurrence connected with the Ou'
1,f.dO0r BUSINESS for the week. 1t has becOn
almost prOverb believe, that the creates
public men are often the worst 10 their pri
vste dealings. 10 rejecting upon the past
a,awn been reminded Ofthe hue and cry, rails
ed during the administrator Of john Quincy
Adams, against the President himself in con
seOnence Of the fact that a Billiard table had
been placed ia the White House. The table
was bought at auetiOn-was second -handed
and purchased at the expense Of Mr.. Adams
himself By some mistake. however, q was
placed upon the bill Of expense for furniture.
The mistake was discovered aud the charge
withdrawn from the bill Of public expenses.
These are the whole circumstances believe
connected with the affair. The effect you
remember. Every m0rat man was, or affect
ed tn be staggered with what was done by
the Chief Magistrate. The press throughout
the country stated that Mr.. Adams kept bill
aisrd table ia his house. Each member OF
each Of the different sscts reiterated the fact
10 voice Of thunder. Political Oppoae0ts
echoed aud re-eehoed the statement through
out &he fo0F corners Of the country; We could
hear Of nothing else. During discussion Of
East week, Mr. Halves Of KY. stated that this
one circumstance had lost Mr.. Adams the
whole West; that he himself had stated the
fact Of the Presldent's Billiard table upon the
stump aud with great effect. Now for the
comment which wish to make simply in
contrasting the kei1ous act Of Mr.. Adams
with the Gets Of another man known as the
dominated successor Of one Andrew Jackson.

state i not 10 the expectation that It will in
lure the candidate himself. but for the special
OF those moral and religious per-
sons who thought Mr.. A dams the chief Of sin.
ners for die sransgressiOn. Let it be known
that the President Of the United States. in
thename OF Major Denelson his private Sec
rotary, entered nag II: the race OF Tuesday
that Martin Van Buren,, Instead Of attend
ing to bic duties as Vice President Ofthe Uni
ted States. aud President Of the Senate, alb.
scented himself and was seen upon the race
ground betting on the horses run-not In one,
race only but 10 several. Which OF the two
acts ia the eyes Of religious men alone were
most heinous-a Billiard table in the House Of
the President, or an attendance upon race
ground, gambling in horse flesh Consistency

Mr. Van Burens' who cried aloud with an I'M
