Worthy Of Notice. BY the debate in the House
recently published under our Congressional head
the reader probably noticed the confession of sew
eral Locofocos of the extravaganza of their party
in adjoining the White House under Mr., Van Blu
ren's reign-even the acknowledgment Of the
truth of Mr.. Oge's gold spoon speech. We never
doubted Mr. Oge's account-it was too well au-
thentlcated to be questioned-and is now comics
sed to be true, by two Locoloco members OF Con-
gress. Mr.. Dillingham; spoke also in behalf of the
appropriation Of $4,000 to finish and adorn the
White House for Mr. Polk. Pretty well for rep
rescntative of republican Vcrmont-and Of party |
too which processes so much reverence for demo
cratic simplicity and economy 1t was thought that
he was sent to Congress TO regulate the coarse
toool business yet we do not hear any thing Of
course icOol from him. of things in gener-
lal. He speaks, however, for FINE THINGS for the
Presidents House. lie must have forgotten all
