MIR. VAN BUREN'S CARRIAGE, LIVERY
MEN, &c.
The Globe, whether rs official or ~ nnofli-
clal, we are not informed, announces thai Mr..
Van Buren, rides in an American, and not in ar
Ensli>, carriage The naughty wlips, il appears,
have put him into an English carriage, with Eng
l,sh horses, and English men, as drivers. md ,
therefore, upon this account, it is probable tina,
the Globe thinks il affair OF sufficient impor-
lance 10 take him out The naughty Wings are
very wronc. and we must set them right.
When Mr.. Van Buren, FIRST came back from
England, he came back w,,l, many airs--wi,ll
much oi the p,fn moitre in his manners. and more
IN his equipnec, hut the correspondents in WASH
n.ton, and the male society there, which, in the
absence of mems wives, daughters, and lady
friends, is not the most polished in the world,
rubbed him down, and brought him back within
the American pale Mr.. Van Buren,, we believe,
did bring over with him an English carriage, but
bc this as il may, the one hc sportcd in at WASH
ngton was splendid one, and an honor, if made
here, TO any American who made it. Ills horses
were the finest tia, could be- found, but for this we
do not blame him, as who would not have fine l,or
81, when he could pet them His scrvants--and
which was folly greater st-wcre clad in IL
very. The servants could not he mistaken, suclf
fine, full, beer drinking boys, did they seem to be.
\ folly we say Tia. importing OF English servants
was. for Mr.. AN Barren who stands at the head of
i" the Democratic party" which nj times thinks
the worse OF man, see the New Hampshire Pat
riot for having clean shnt on, should never have
have made such an Importation, thereby insnlla-
ting ,hai none but those who had been the livery
men OF Dukes. and Niscounts and Lords, were ft
servants for him, though, by the way, We don't
blame one for obtaining an English servant when
one can get one. folly again it WINS to clohe
these servants in livery, for "A livery like coat of
arms, j, in very bad taste IN this part OF the
Try, where pr,hap, half of our rich men some day
other wore livery themselves, and where not
one in ten of us can tell whose servants fathers
were.
But one of the most amusing exhibitions M
WaShln.ton he frs, winter Mr.. Van Buren, came
there. was the witnr> ne OF the manner III which
he was forced to doli hi, pumagc; feather Ivy lea-
llcr. The Washington coirespondents-ihe
Whg rogmcs-bccan upon his livery, and anon that
went of, and his fine por,ly English Servants, who
had no doubt sportcd their feathers and regimcntas
in Regent and Bond streets, and upen the Bonle-
wards of Paris, looked like many pcacocks with
their tails cot OF. The Washington corrcSpon-
dents the greater roguos they when flushed
with triumph, then began upon the English car
rage, aud there they won another victory, for the
English carriage was put aside and n new Repub-
English servants as yet, We believe, hold their
places. The correspondents to this day, as We
understand, have not won n victory over them.
All this it is quite true, is very unlmporlanI, but
as Mr.. Van Bureaus friends choose 10 make il so.
The Wee President is 81, upas democratic pat
tern of Republican simplicity and austeriiy,
when lis fault is, that in order to be an American
gentleman, he overdocs bis part, and plays the
farce too many Americans play in attempting 10
fngie," n Republican people in America. Mr..
Van Buren, loves pomp and equipage and ariso-
cratic display much as any man, and wealthyas
he is he is justified in the expense ,and is not to be
ccn>urrd for INDUCING in but this charity we have
no, for hs rar'izans, who hold him mp as the model
OF an American Siatcsinan-as a successor to the
simplicity of Washington, the painnrss ofJeflcr
son. ihc quiet elegance of Madison, the blunness
oi Monroe, and the rough and even negligent ar
of Adams. ". \. Express.
