Ssa; The Madisonian Of this morning contains
brief sketchsof remarks made 10 The House, so.ne

us on this question Of reception. sthough unssipted
with abolionsm 40 smmen OF as high honor, elevated
patriotism, and generous lnlrepidiy as any living"
l..Mr Gates here interrupted Mr. Thompson, and
said he hoped the gentleman would 10, include him
among those around him who agreed with him in senti-
ment.'l
This report complain, sir, does me injustice In
not stating correctly What The gentleman said when
interrupted him, and in not giving the language
which used Mr. Thompson was understood TO
say, by me and many others with whom | have con.
versed in connection with what he said about this
infamous faction, that gentlemen fom the Norih,
all around him, united In assuring him that the
prayer OF these petitions ought not 10 be granted, and
that the abolioalss were contemplate, and ougH 10
Be denounced.
IL was at that expression that arose, sat near
him, and said, 81 hoped the gentleman would not
include me among those around him who had err
pressed any such sediment, and not as am report
ed 10 have said, with those rho agreed rifh aim IN
sentiment"
The interruption, as reported, would seem To be
quite unnecessary and idle, Ii not rade-as, am
told, The gentleman himself considered H. But, when
the sweeping charge was made that all around him,
from The North, gave him such assurances, | con-
sidered that could do no less than discaim, with
out suffering The imputation Of protesting sentiments
here which il was well known had not entertained

| am aware, sir, that similar report appeared
some dass since, in another paper; and only then
neglected 10 il for the that hoped 10
be able 10 chain the floor 10 submit some remarks
upon The resolution under discussion. Not having
had that opportunity. and the report now again ap-
pearing in your paper, ask the insertion oi this
note, that may not be incorrectly represented as
interrupting gentleman with no other apparent
motive than desire not to be considered as agreeing
icih Aim in sentiment.
disciaim all intention of discourtesy or rudcness
in the interruption; and, although the gentleman re-
piled with some asperily, should never have taken
pains to notice il in any way had the matter been cor
reciy repored-as expressions of that kind used in
The neat of debate, have always considered harm
less, about in proportion as they were nnproroked
and unmerit.d.

From The Dedham Patriot and Democrat
MARTIN THE DEMOCRAT-A PARODY.

a netO reading Of the House thar Jack built
Martin Van Buren is rich, and he has no
doubta right TO spend his money as he pleases;
to initiate an English Lord in his coach aud
horses in his veried servants, in his furni-
ture, in his manner of living. in his house,
hold, &C.; and if he says he is Democrat,
the people may believe him, if they will. But
must not a person be desirous of being gulled,
who in this country, can take man with all
the airs, manners, and habits Of an English
Lord, for Democrat! Did you ever go to
Washington, friend! Did you ever see Mr..
Van Buren's gilt coach--his English coach
man, his liveried footmanl Did you ever go into
the White House at Westinghouse how its
interior is changed since Gen. Jackson left it,
and how it is now modelled after my Lords
Of Grosvcnor Square, Londonl Did you
ever see the President in his palace, and note
how like he is to foppish English Earl
Do you know that when in England, Mr..
Van Buren adopted the fashions Of high life,
and was more petted by Earls, Marquises,
and Dukes, than was ever any minister from
this country. before him. Do you know that
all nur former ministers bad adopted simple
manners, becoming the representatives of u
republican country! And do you know that
Mr.. Van Buren changed this rule, and affect
ed the style and pomp Of an Enperor's Am
bassadorl
Yet all this is true it is true this same
Van Buren,, pretends to be Democrat. A
man who has done more than any President
that ever went before him, TO introduce aristo-
cracy Of manner. dress and equipage into our
country, pretends 10 be a Democrat! and asks
our !" hard-handed yeomanry' to be his sup
porters, and consider him their peculiar re-
presentative!!
However, as some persons love 10 be cheat
cd-and some love the truth-we give ver-
sion Of the House that Jack Built-which
people may read as they please. Those who
think that Van Buren, is u Democrat-may
take it as praise-and teach it 10 their chill
dren.
Here is Martin the pretended Democrat!
III.
This is the gilded coach of Martin, the pre-
tended Democrat
These are the English horses that draw the
gilded coach Of Martin, the pretended Demo-
crat
Nv.
These are the English grooms, that dress
the English horses, and draw the gilded coach,
Of Martin, the pretended Democrat.
v.
Here are the people who pay the English
grooms, that dress the English horses, that
draw the glded coach of Martin the pretend
ed Democrat!
/
And here are the Office holders that tell the
people to pay the English grooms, who dress
the English horses, that draw the gided coach
of Martin, the pretended Democrat!
VII.
And here is the treasury, where the Office
holders help themselves tell the people
to pay the English grooms, who dress the
English horses, that draw The gilded coach Of
Martin, the pretended Democrat !

JOHN M. Niles, late Van Buren, candidate for
Governor in Connecticut, in his Life of Perry,
published in 1921 after giving general biogra-
ply of General Harrison, said:
a. The defence of Fort Meigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British army may be fairly considered
the most brilliant and extraordinary events Of the late
war"
In abiding TO the battle of the Thames, he said:
must be conceded that this pctory reflected great
honor upon The national arms, and upon the troops by
triom IL iras adhered
The action, and the movements which preceded it,
afford ample testimony Of the Judgment and cool intre

Of the campaign support these characteristics; the
disasters attending it having, in instance been i'm

"Thcre are perhaps record few instances Of such
cool and steady nrepidity the part Of militia,

occasion.
Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Ariel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d Of October Here they
were received with every demonstration of JOY and ad

They were hailed as the delverers Of the frontiers"
