oGLE,s SPEECH.

Much injustice has been done to the
memory of Mr.. ogle, By portion Of the
Press, IL reference to his celebrated speech
delivered at the last Session of Congress.
Because the White House was left by
Mr.. Var Buren, in a deranged and shabby
state, it is argued that 0gle's picture Of the
almost regal magnifcenee of the furniture,
&c. was fancy sketch, drawn for political
effect. Now, by reference to the speech,
which was so politely termed I" an omnibus
OF lies by the Globe, it will be seen that,
for all the immense expenditures to adorn
and furnish the Presidents House, Mr..
Ogle has produced ths souehers and the
items as copied from o6fcial stotemenis.-
So that the whole affair amounts to this /:
that either the sums youched rere expend-
ed for the purposes indicated, land if so
what mas become Of the furniture . or the
money was expended for other purposes,
and falsely charged to the item specified.
Neither aspect OF the case is very fayora.
bic to the character Of Mr.. Van Buren's
administration.
The only mode by which Mr.. Ogle can
be proved to have nduged in fiction, is 10
show that his quotations from official state
meuts were forgeries. If his quotations
were true, large sums Of money must have
been expended in furniture, or falsely
charged to the account of furniture, Pc

into execution any one Of the powers given
TO Congress by the Constitution, this would

be necessary and proper" At subse-

opinion. The question now is, Is Bank

dered, BY our democratic brethen, with a
taciturn dignity peculiar to men who think
profoundly and compare ludiciously before
expressing an opinion.
All they we're heard 10 say, for several
days, about the Presidents Message was,
that {" II is one Of the most indefinite and
non-committal State papers ever issued
from the Capitol of the United States"
The dark mantle of Thursday night was
folded away in the west--the bright sun
Of Friday rose, in all his wonted splendor,
TO make the llh day of June A. d. 1871,
pouring a food of yiyifying light and heat
over our village-noon came and went
the sun slowly sunk beneath the western
horizon--graye twilight covers the land
surrounding objects are fast fading away,
when Sommus spreads his sable curtain,
aud closes the scene.
Abou; L O'clock, away in the distance,
is heard the seryant-warning bugle--prc-
sently rolls heavily up the splendid stage
coach, Great Western, IA brief hustle
about the Post Office, and then the Man
sion House, and again all Is Silenoe and
repoSc.
Saturday morning comes, and, at an
early hour, might be seen, little groups Of
our sober, rejecting democratic brethren,
gathered about the corners and public pla-
ocs, looking cheerful and light hearted ;
exchanging little roguish smiles, and know
ing glanccs.
The day grows warm-these little squads
retire to the shade~--sit dignifed-lean
back, and cross legs complacently -and
talk fluently, about the absurdity and pal,
pabe violations Of good policy in President
| Tylcr's Message.
That Message which a few days ago,
was SO obscure and uncertain, is now all
very plain and all very bad. The day
passes off in breyity and raillery.
| requested a friend to explain, to me,
the cause of this sudden change from doubt
and uncertainty, to clear perception and
understanding of the Presidents Message.
Said he, "do you recollect the splendid
stage coach that rolled in about | ! O'Clock,

But give them the air, they join in the song

RETRIBUTIoN.

reckless majority now remain IN Congress,
who less than Is months since trampIcd
upon the sacred rights and privileges OF the
State of New Jersey. The people have
dealt out retribution with an unsparing hand,
and have placed the brand of ignomlny and
disgrace, upon those who participated IN
that lawless decd. At the period when
this miserable act was committed, the ad-
herents of Van Buren, q Co., resolved at
all hazards to pass the " sub.Treasury

resorted to. Upon summon'ng up 'helf

and we call to il the attention of our
" Wing friends who we're induced to vote

ed TO practice economy-that the President
recommends legislation for the relief Of the

in other words, recommends Congress TO
carry out the preposterous scheme Of civ.

hundred thousand dollars of The Peoples
money. We prophssied this, and now mark
the fuliihment of our prediction" 1t re-
ally seems that falsehood is the only elc-
ment in which his genius can naturally ex-
EFT It's yigor and strength. When an in.
diyidual sets aside the moral obligations
that truth imposes upon him, be should pay
some regard and attention to the common
sense Of the community. There is mol a
single sentence in the Message, which re-
commends to Congress, the "appropria-
ton of one hundred thousand dollars of the
peoples money, to the legal representa-.
tiyes of Gen. Harrison;" YET this political
renegade comes boldly out, and declares to
the public, that President Tyler has re-
commended it. How ignorant and gull
