This SinnuwbanGer, of whose shameless Speech the
Tippecanoes of Richmond have determined to print
1000 copies, speaks of the Presidents gold spoons, &c.
And william c. Rives stoops so low, as TO re-ccho his
slang. Now, what says Mr.. Lincoln (Whig) in his
speech of April 1G, published in the last National In.
tclligcncer:
afMr OcLE. | deny that either Adams or Monroe
ever had such trumpery as Van Buren.]
uMr. LlscoLy. And | undertake TO say that, during
the Presidency of Mr.. Monroe, more "trumpcry," as the
member is pleased to term il, was carried into the Prcsi-
dental mansion, than under every other Administration,
to this time, put together.
Nj Chairman, 1t was not my wish to enter at all
into this subject. But upon the denial of the member
now. feel bound to refer the committee to the fact, ap-
parent upon The bills, that many Of the very articles
which have been pointed out as most objectionable were
purchased from the appropriation of 100000 in the time
of Mr.. Monroe. In point of truth, they were procured
by him. aad for has 0rR account, while Minister IN
France, and were afterwards taken for the Government,
by appraisal, on his accession TO the Chair of State
hy. sir. this famous golden plateau, and most OF these
uold snoons. and knives, and forks, and vases, which
have so b~ewildered the imagination OF the memoer, ana
shocked the simple virtue OF his heart, were the pnf-
chase fthe Republican Monroe! And, in application
to these even, there is a lesson OF infancy, winch may
~pro6toblv be remembered, that call IS not gold winch
glittcrs;" for, if | am not greatly mls'ntormed, the pa
team, and spoons, and knives, and forks, are Out SareT
uilded, and the golden vases but china painted
Orle, The selected oracle of the Wings, complains of
a Gardener being employed on the grounds, near the
Presidents House. Now, what says Mr.. Lincoln, III
his last speech 81 have now in my hands a certificate
from the Commissioner of The Public buildings, show
inc that the gardener, The very same individual, with
the same character of service, and Mt the same rate oi
compensation, has been in the employ ct the Govern
ment for the continuous period of .fffecR years, having
been first engaged in 1925" And again, what says Mr..
Lincoln: ain referring TO the furniture and cultivation
of the grounds in the use of the President, the member
(Orle) said, s'the receiver was as bad as the other
man Sir we all know the words of the adage-Mc
yecsircr IS as bad as tie hief. And who is the RECEIVER
and who the THIEF? From the days OF Washington,
through a long succession of illustrions men, every
President Of the United States, including the elder
Adams, jefferson, Madison, Monroe, J. Q. Adams,
Jackson, and the present incumbent, have received the
henef, of a similar provision IN their otlclal statinn.--
The house, the furniture, the garden, and the cuitiva-
ted grounds have been alike the enjoyment of each,
and al the public charge
Ogle complained Of the Presidents "EagiiSh" coach.
What saws the New Haven Register Of the 25th' that
this verv coach swas furnished the President by MIR.
James Brewster Of this city, New Haven, Conn.,
and is of Yankee manufacture. We notice this SLAM
der merely to show the wretched meanncss of this low
lived Ogle and his associates. How truly contempti-
BILE, in a member Of Congress, to stand up in his place,
for hours, and retail such fustIan to the galleries, in
stead of questioning the eNpediency of the measures
Commend by the President. Having failed TO lay
their fingers on the sigold spoons of the President,
the Federal oglers are proving around his stable and
finding fault with his horses and their provendcr. Their
next bulletin will probably be issued from one o!thc out
houses The Globe of Monday stamps glc's statement
with ~taiSchoOd, and declares positively 'tlat Mr.. Y. b.
never imported 4 carriage in his life, and that he never
owned or possessed one that had been bull, out Of the
L.. S; that the story about the British coach, like the
thousand and one f~alsehoods with which a most de-
graded press, and I'VE are sorry TO say III an almost
equally degraded party, are every day nnuscating the
public taste, is in all lis parts a sheer fabrication, desti.
tute of all color Of truth; and doubtless known 10 be so
