WANT 10 support FOREIGN .VECHaNICS,
whilst OUR OWN CUNNING WORKMEN' al
most perish for lack of bread? shall that bread
be withheld from the mouth of honest labor At
HOME, but lavished upon the subjects of kings
abroad? Why was Mr.. Van Buren, 50 anxious to
possess an elegant FRENCH BEnSTEAD; Does
he desire to have the trimmings Of a 'CROWN
BED also ?"
1t is sufficient reply to this trade to state the
fact that these French bedseads, so called, were
made by OUR OWN CUNNING WORKAlEN'
IN PHILADELPHIA, Is Mr.. Oglo SO ignorant as
not to know that 'French ielSieadS' are made by
our own cabinet makers thrc ughout the Union -
We do not believe it, We do not believe that he
supposed these bedsteads were made in france,
when he put this rgmarole together.
But suppose he was ignorant enough 10 think that
because they We're called French, they were actu-
ally made in France, how will he excuse himself
for jushfyjng Mr. Monroe in purchasing the same
kiHd of fumituro' Voucher GO in Mr. Monroc's
account for 1878 contains the following items, viz;

Yet there was no frumPery' in this TWAS all
right to let our oak, hichOry, cherry, and mGPie
grow in our forests, and our workmGn starye, in
1918; but Mr.. Van Buren's buying 'Freach iei-
Siead, made in Philadelphia is moHsiroas!
Does he desire to have 'Me timmipgs Of q
CRowN BED also" says Oge, Why, Charley,
you have already approved, rot only the CRowH
BED, but the trimmings GlSo!!

Mercy on us what are we coming to Even
Charley Oglc the great friend Of 'tte dcar peoPic,'
has basely deserted their cause. lie says MIR.
Monroe had no 'trumpery' in the house; he there
fore approves of crOtraS, and cro'"n tets and he
trimmings Of The crOWa tel, and iron Worh for
The crOvai What 'cromN' can this be- We re-
member to have heard of brit one IRON CROWN,
and that was the crown Of CharlcmHguc, Emperor
of Germany, which has been placed on the heads
of the Empcrors at their coronation, down TO tue
present century Napoleon, we believe, brought
this crown to Paris, and, on ono OCCASION, had il
placed on his own head, did Mr., Monroe have it
brought, to America with his French fUaiiure, and
secretly kept in repair to be clappcd on his arm
hcm upon q convenient occasion; Oh, Charley
Ogle, Charley Ogle, oh How corfu YOU rnrn
traitor to 'he deT feoPieH How conf NcU up-
prove Of the iron crOvH to be placed on the head
of our Democratic Prcsdcnt' The traitor! He
not only approves of the CROWN, bat in his
speech, p. 81, actually recommends the THRONE
also Dost thou start Repubc,n render? Ca'c
has gone over to the enemy. Read what he says;
"lt may with GREAT PROPERTY be aIlcg-
cd" says he, ''thut as we have the palace with It's
taboures, & other splendid rcg1'ia, palace grounds,
palace gardens, grand levces State hanqrets, court
ccTmoniuls, court costumes, stalls for the royal
steeds and royal revenues, we should not hesitate
about THRONE, which, according to the dcni-
ton of Napoleon lonnpartc, is SIX PINE PLAINS
AND VELVET GARRETT"
You see, reader, whata TRAITOR this man has
become Already approving Of "CROWNs,"
and declaring that ''TIlRONE'' may be intro
duced nth great propie'y,' what can we ex-
pcct ofhim but that he will next insist on the di-
aicm,' and the 'Scepire,' and the canopy, and
KING 10 sH uader il!
There is another fact necessary TO he remembers
ed here. The GILT FRENCH CHAIRS intro
duced into the Presidents House by Mr. Monroe,
and approved by ilr Oge, had on their rich cover
ings the similitudo of an IMPERIAL CROWN,
surrounded by The regaIia Of France! These
Ogie-Democratic embcms remained there until
Mr. Van Buren, came into office When he hid them
stripped oil, aud other covers substituted, bearing
our own glorious stars, and other Republican IN
sigma. But Oge, who is well pleased with Mr.
Monroc's FRENCH IMPERIAL CROWNS, is
quite offended with Mr. Van Buren, s'AAlERiCAN
