described his sojourn at Chappaqua for
the last twenty years. and said that in

money, so had he lent, and the latter had
gone "where the woodbine twineth:" :"

was to some good-nt all events, he
knew where it was. His present pro.
perty was bought at the request of his

speeches, prophesying the election of
Greeley.
