or epdorse the assertion Ubar Gen Harrison was

thus obtaining a triumph over tiuth, proceeds in
one of his late papers to make the " amende kon

ty of the fellow : !
A week or two since, we alluded in oar pa- J
per to a Whig attorney of this ejiy, lhat should
have sttempved to impose on an old farmer, by
telling him that Mr Van Buren eat off of gold
plates, and nsed a gold knife and fork. VVe felt
indignant inatany ooe-wriom we held inhih es
timation, personalty, should have decended to
such a mode of electioneering, not that any
one hodld believe it, but that any one should
resort; to such acts 'e were, ho ver-r, i rati

him iff jostieo, nnd it gives us pleasure to he thus
able publicly to say so. .We 'should have made
thissiatement earlier, but we were, anxious to?

Now, sir, I wonld advise this AVhig lawyer
not to be quite so timid , hereafter as to retract
stateme nts bised upon substantial facis. And I
would further connsei him to viwHhe farmer
with wliom he held the conversation about the
gold Knives and-forks of the President, and tell
him the whole troth-in relation to that matter ;
for I can assure this honest Whig lawyer that

Mr. Chairman, these threa bills for table giass
make, together, the clever, sum of $2,596 50
an amount, I should suppose, sufficiently larga
to purchase the most democratic set of iable gla$3
in America. Whasir, will the honest Iocofo
cos sy to Mr. Van .Buren for spending the Peo
ples cash in forcgn Fanny Kemble green fui'
ger cvps, in which to wash his pretty la peting,
soft, white, lily fingers, after dining on frican-
deao de veau and omelette souffle 7 How will
the friends of temperancethe real tetotallers
relish the fotegn . cut tetne coolers' ; and the
barrel shape jlulc decanters mth cone steppers?
I will now, sir, present you with a receipt fur
another ornament found on Mr. Van Bnicn'a
dintter table, that tells much, very much sir, in
regard to the true character of his democracy :
Received, Baliircore, 14th November, I S37,
of T. L. Smith, Esq . one hundred, dollars, in
loll lor a set-of AUT1F1UAU FLOWERS
FOR TUR PRESIDENTS TABLE.
100 dollars. . .JOHN THOMAS.'
I am willing to concede that lhe expenditure
of $100 is. in itself, a very small matter. The ;
quest ion, however, is not how much cash was
paid bv Mr. Van liiiren tor the bunch of Arli1i
xial Flowers which decorates his table, but whe
ther iht People's money shall he expended for
such aristocratic French finery t and whether
Mr. Van Boren, who" has been raised lo lhe
most exalted station on the earth, and whose ex
ample, upon society mast necessarily, have a
m st powerful and extensive infloence, shall, by
the introduction of foreign gew-gaws into the
house of lhe American People, Contribute Incor
rupt the plain, unostentatious, and republican
manners of our people, by creating vain desires
tor external show and foolish displays cf splen
dor, which are not congenial with ifcir frcgal
habits ? The influence of Ibis example has al
ready had a most injurious tendency within the
District of Columbia, where many men are now
found vying with each other to make a splendid
appearance, even above their rank arfd means of
Mtppnrf. ' I will give you an instance or two -Mr.
F P Rlair, the humble editor of Martin Van
Buren's official organ,' carao to this city some
ten years ago a plain, simple republican in hi
manners and style of living, having been brought
up and educated with all the domestic and eco
nomical maxims of the hardy and frugal , Wes
tern Country. " For some years after his . arrival
he was content tu dwell in a comfortable house
of fificfu feet front, furnished in a plain, sub
stantial way ; but, behold the charm of Incen
tive manner! How altered the man! Ha
now aims at rivalling all the' foreignj Ministers
and headsi of the great Depaitments cf the Go
vernment in the splendor of his spacious nkan
sion, in the profusion of. his table, and in every
indulgence which an empty vanity can coyet.
He, too, gives brilliant entertainments to lhe
members tif Congresa and great cflicers cf state,
in imitation of the sumptuoos'Court barqneis at'
the palace. On these occasions, as I have been
credibly informed, for the purpose of producing
a more dazzling i fleet oo the vbhn of his Ineo
fico brethren, he actually hires rich chandeliers
and other ehowy democratic rr.aments at a
charge of ten per cent, on the prime cist, at a
splendid china, plate, and glass store on Penn
sylvania avenue. But do not feel disposed to
interfere with or mutest thaeditir of. the Globe
in his enj yment of noble mansions, luxurious
btnqaets, Arrowed lights, and every other ex
ternal sdrantcge ffhtch causes i lit tie man o
swell into faneif-d imporlance, inasmuch as he
ecjiys all those advaniages, so far as I know,
at hisotcn expense. .Were it not the public
function of Government Printer that this man
has been clothed with, he would be almost loo
scant a pattern to notice fur Martin Van Bu

Mr Chuiiman, don't you think that one of
youf plain republican ' Slickers would eel
