; may not pi ovo altogether tminterost-
I > n K and an mportiiu to the pdblicA
j The snbjec; to [which I shall allude,

petent to 1 discuss, its merits.!' Yet I
have!looked in viih. But to the sub
jeot-
It is conceded) 1 1 believe, that the
Hon. has the most decid
ed and extei ded influence of any. man
in our little' bounty.» If is but natural
that he should have. Apart from his,
being a ma;i of the’most agreeable
j social part* the positions which he
[ holds, both i i private and public lite,
i are such as confer upon hiai tdo
-honor, as wyll a* the title,, of a leadi
! ing. man. As Cashier of the Farmers
:i Di-overs' kind of moneyed
. iWnopdly— ilt \is to be expected that
he should wield-'a--powerful influence
; iti this community oif drovers and
; speculators, j I do not'ohide liim for
jtliis. I saj-it is not wonderful, in
ibis Country where the hearts of the
people are so closely allied with the
contents of; their pockets—-where
money letting and money getting
■torin the “base of operations,”land is
the incentive that prompts the Almost
every motive and action —itj -t is not
strange, that the Banker should he a
power in the land. Ami I shall take
occasion just here,-. Mr. Editor! if you

The following anecdote is from th£
“Lite and Letters of'Washington Ir-,

themselves to their settees to rest,
'-when a person] came. pn ijboard at
Poughkeepsie wjilh the nows of the
inglorious triumph, and proceeded in
the darkness ol] the cabin to .(.relate
i the parlienlars : ihp desiructoin of the
I President’s house, the Treasury, War
■ and iNavy offibe-sj ‘the Capitol, the de
pository of the national library tind,

j-tary pause lifter ihe-speakor had eeas-
I cd,- when some pall try spirijl lifted his
| head-from from,this settee, and in a
j tone of cbmplatjciiit derision
i ed ■what Jimmy jMadisop would cay
i now,” '-Sir,” sajicii Mr. Irving," glad of
an .escape to his swelling indignation,
“do you seize on such a disaster only

;:is not a Question about Jimmy Mutli

'the country is insulted and disgraced
by the barbarous jsiieeea.s. and every
loyal citizen should feel the -ignominy
and bo earnest to .avenge it ” “I
could not'see the fellow,’’ said Mr. Ir
ving, "but 1 let flv|ttt him ir. the dark.”
A murmur of ifpprobalion followed
the outburst, and then every ‘oar was
listening for the reply, but-the energy
of,,tho rebuke had cowed the spokes
