OLp H1cKoRY's BLUFF WAY-Long
years after the capture of Stony Point,
when Andrew Jackson was President, a
visitor at the White House remarked that
the Postmaster IN his own town (who
"he'd over") was an enemy to the Prssi
dent-had even been heard TO call him
"a scoundrer'--and urged tha removal Of
the i'll hammered officer.
"What sort Of a person is ! e. inquir
ed the President.
The visitor admitted that the Post
master was an aged and honorable man,
and incidentally remarked tl1at he was
one Of the survivors Of the battle Of Stony
Point"
"What!' said tho President, rising
from his chair. "Was he really with
Anthony Wayne at Stony Points'
''Hs certainly was," replied the visitor.
"WeiI, then" said Old Hickory, "by
the eternal! he has a perfect right to cali
me a scoundrel every day in the week
and to be postmaster during his natural
life."
