THE PRESIDENT.

The President of the United States ar.
rived in Staunton on Tuesday evening,
after sunset, and put up at the Washing>
ton Tavern. A number Of citizens hear
ing OF his probable arrival. went out a
short distance on horseback to meet him;
but after waiting some time. and rain
coming on, they concluded he would
stop for the night at Waynesborough,
and returned to town. As soon as his
arrival became known, n number of citi.
zens called on him. He left early next
morning for the Springs.

The origin of"Hail Columbia which
was composed by Judge Hopkinson. is
explained by a writer in Waldie's Jour,
nal. In the year 1898. when patriotic
feeling pervaded the country, MIR. Fog,
young player, called on his friend
Judge H., and after stating that the fol.
lowing evening was to be his benefi,
night, and fearing the result, as not
single ticket had been sold, requested him
to write him some patriotic verses to the
tune OF the Presidents March ;" feeling
confident that nothing else could ensure
his success. MIR. H., consented to make
the trial, and requested Fox to call in
the evening and Judge OF his success.
Mr. ii. retired to his study, and with
the aid Of bis wife to arrange it to mu.
sic, produced the song as it now stands.
The theatre was crowded, the song
was sung, and repeated eight times, and
again encored. and when sung the ninth
time the whole audience stood IN and
joined in the chorus. Nor was the dis
tinguished author Of this truly national
song, asoDg that met the appreciation of
all parties Of the day, forgotten. The
street in which he lived was on the oc>
casion crowded. and Hail Columbia
broke on the stiffness of the night from
five hundred patriotic voices.

Every body recollects Gen. Jackson's
celebrated "palaver' to the Legislature
OF Tennessee. about an amendment of
the Constitution so as to exclude mem.
bers OF Congress from Executive ap-
polntments during their period of ser
vice. and for two years thereafter. Ev,
cry one remembers. too, how faithfully
the General practised upon his theory
he appointed, during the first year of
his reign, not less than SIXTY mem.
bers to Offices of all grades He declar-
ed, before he came into power, that if
such things were tolerated, corruption
would be the order of the day." end he
proved by his contempt of all previous
opinions. that Corruption" had ceased
TO be offensive to his nostrils.
Mr.. Van Buren,, "treading in the foot.
steps. has appointed Felix Grundy to
the Office ofAttorney General. The pes
caliar merit of this recipient of Execu-
tive bounty, is, that Gen. Jackson him,
sell nee denounced him as treacherous
and faithless-Judge White lately prov
ed him 20 be so--and the Tennessee
Legislature, twelve months since, order.
ed him his walking papers,"
The people have new proof, in all
