JOHN VAN buren,. The New York Express says,
that at Tammany Hall on the 9th inst, there was
supper in the midst of the festivities of the balls and
table several letters read from gentlemen who
had been invited and declined coming. At the end
of each letter, cheers given, usual, for the
writers, and these were uniformly followed with cries
of g three groans for Martin Van Buren, which
were given with will. What made it particularly
pleasant the fact that among the guests at table
was Mr.. John Van Buren, who, however, is said to
have taken it quite coolly, only remarking that he
hoped the gentlemen would not make themselves
hoarse by their exertions.
! The Janus-faced John might with truth have ex-
claimed, on the occasion:
