Ig-Tbc following "model recon-
mendation" we copy from the "knick-
erbocker" not with any fear that it
will be lost. but because we think it
will stimulate some Of our ambitious
young men on to glory:
"The bearer, Mr.. Martin Van Buren,
Phips, is a candidate for some easy
office, and, | am happy to say is an
ut-and-out democrat. He voted for
Van Buren, in 40, for Polk in "A, and
in AS, being somewhat puzzled with
the claims Of the contending factions,
polled two votes, one for Mr.. Cass,
eyincinga spirit of Cancellation and
high toned principle, which puts to
the blush all other compromise meas
ures. Mr.. Phips, can truly say, is
an active, energetic and industrious
democrat, but is unable to discharge
very many outdoor duties, as he is
suffering under a physical disability,
having some two years since, sPrained
his ankle badly. II # X IL
The circumstance attending this
physical liability may not be uninter-
esting as illustrative of the sterling
democracy inherent in the man.
They are these: He was engaged with
some young democrats raising hick-
ory poll. They had accomplished their
object, and young Phips determined to
place the stars and stripes upon the
top Of the pole for this purpose he
commenced climbing, but alas having
arrived at the dizzy height of ten feet
the pole gave way, and he was hurled
miserably upon the earth, with severe
confusion upon the fleshy part OF the
leg, and with his left foot sprained
terribly. Apparently not realizing
the extent Of the injury, he waved the
catered ensign over his confused frame
and gave three hearty cheers for Jas
K. Polk. Such democracy ought not
to so unrewarded; and hope yor
will be able to place our unfortunate
friend in some easy position, where hi
physical disability will not operate
an.agonistic 70 bis progressive demo
cracy.
