Though il be bold TO say of so great man as Mr..
Van Buren, that, last war he did not do his own fight

1T is true, It's pity-and pity It's, lis true
While General Harrison was feeding on hickory
roots, Mr.. Van Buren, was eating good dinners
While Harrison was defending large territory
with small army and using that prudence (ior
which some blamed Lim) that earned victory in
every battle, Van Buren, was idle at Kinderhook-
But Harrison not only victorious himself, but
the cause Of victory in others He ayed the ground
work Of Perrys victory; which victory was The
most brill nj consequence that ever happened;
Perry faithfully carried on, the plans Of Harrison
and captured whole British ieel-while Van Buren,
never earned The title of Corporal.
Now, if we 60 to war wi h Great Britain-if The
liberties of the People become endangered how for

all party spirit will die away, and the public safety
will require his election: and Mr.. Van BureL and
Amos Kendall, being patriots, may be among the first

FOR THE MApIsoNiAN.

The recent denial by Mr.. Buchanan, after some
six weeks silence that he made the assertions charged
upon him, reminds me Of an anecdotc told Of an I'M
guarded lalker in New England Counsellor w. and
Counsellor s. had praclised at the same bar for ma
ny years, and we're old and firm friends. During
one vacation, new brother had opened an office in
the village where S. had long been the only lawyer
This new man and s. rode 10 court IN company, and
together in the public Of the tavern, in the
county town, when w. cline in, being unacquainted
with the new man. Well, brother s., how do you
do, says W., hear you have another lawyer in your
town. | have heard all about him. You need not
be alarmed. He is, poor devil, dissipaed drunken
dog He won't hurt you. He is no lawyer, mere
peitifoggtr, and can't stand il long. s. being, OF
course, somewhat confused and COMPOUNDED al this
TRADE upon his brother, who stood at his elbow
in order to stop further remarks whispered 10 w.
that the man he was thus assailing was present.
w. stood in asonishment at hi, mistake, and per-
feet silence reigned in the room, and mol word was
spoken for minute. w. then turning on his heel,
exclaimed, swear never said it," and instantly
darted out of the room.
