A Model Recommendation for Office.

The Knickerbocker for July contains a
number of specimens of letters from office
seekers and their friends. We copy one
of the best from Mr.. Twist to Governor
Marcy, on behalf of gentleman who is
ready at any moment to die for his coun-
try and fat office:
'The bearer, Mr.. Martin Van Buren,
Phips, is an applicant for some easy office,
and, am happy TO say, is an out-and-
out Democrat. He voted for Van Buren,
in 40, for Polk in "A, and in '4S, being
somewhat puzzled with the claims of the
contending factions, polled two votes, one
for Van Buren, and one for Mr.. Cass,
evincing spirit of Cancellation and high
toned principle which puts to the blush
all other compromise measures. Mr..
Phips, | can truly say, is an active, cner-
getic, and industrious Democrat, but is
unable to discharge very many outdoor
duties, as he is suffering under physical
disability, having some two years since
sprained his ankle badly,
The circumstances attending this physi-
cal disability may not be uninteresting,
as illustrative Of the sterling democracy
ihhSiSh1s III thC HAIL.. uCy are
He was engaged with some young Demo-
Gratis raising hickory pole. 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 heshy
part of his leg, and with his left foot
sprained terribly. Apparently not re-
alizing the extent of the injury, he waved
the tattered ensign over his confused
frame, and gave three hearty cheers for
James X. Polk. Such Democracy ought
not to go unrcwarded and hope you
will be able to place our unfortunate
friend in some easy position where his
physical disability will not be antagonis-
tic to his progressive Democracy"
