Diplutnatih,, Appropriation Bill, in the
House of Representatives, on the 13th
of April, 1 : 840:
Let us return, Mr. Chairman, to the “locus in
qu'o," or rather locus criminis"—the place where
this grime (agaidat the simplicity cd republican man
ners) has been committed—the Green and Yellow
Drawing.rootns. I have too wide a field. as yet, before
me to consume, much of the time of this committee
in attempting , to describe the gorgeous splendor of
the wiudow eunains and other drapery; the daz
zling magnificence of the large gilded mirrors, mantel
glasses,- chandeliers, .candelebras, French bracket
lights,and Mantel ornaments, the smooth and beau
tiful Italian slab centre table; the rich and luxurious
damask satin covered chairs, bergerea, sofas, French
comfortables4 Turkish ottomans and divauli,and bril
liant imperial carpets, and other shining garnishments
with which these superb drawing-rooms are adorned.
It may be sufficient to say that the lustre and tile
genre 6f their interior would no doubt dazzle , if they
did not blind, the eyes of Blamm, Bang and Ming,
the celebrated loco foco teatime of Tammany Balt.
The Green and Yellow Drawing rooms have been
greatly beautified and improved since the retirement
of Gen. iscUen. I find amongst the vouchers of the
Treasury DePartment, a bill of 0; Alexander for ma

Still Mr. Van Buren was not content; hd
longed for the "Turkish divan" and the
"french 'comfortable." A good locoLloco
democrat, methinks, might have been pretty!
well satisfied with a crimson damask sofa'
and a' pillow of soft down enclosed in a silk
cover. And a bulky Alderman, it is said,!
after ertjoying his turtle soup, can enore
away, his six hours, at perfect peace with all
mankind, by placing hitt corporation within
the generous dimensions of a bergere : But
neither the crimson damask sofa acid , soft
down, silk covered pillow, nor the capacious)
bergere would content Mr. Van. Buren.!
What was to be done 7—The ottoman bas;
no back whereon a hard-handed democrat,i
wearied with, the cares of State, can teat',;
and the tabOuret is part and parcel of the,
Court regalia, and may be soiled by too fre-;
quent use; the music-stool and the foot-stool,l
albeit covered with damask satio, are too!
low for a faiourable disposal of the extre.,
mities.
What 'Critild be done, sir, in this dire em
ergency, but to pay down $270 of the pee
ple'a cash that Mr. Van Buren may enjoy
the hixuries of the Turkish "divan" and the
" French comfortable, made of extra mate
rials?" And as these fine articles were doubt
less bought "dog cheap," and especially.' as
every dog hail his day,' in these " noondays,"
no good WO focn can 'fingenerotraly withhold
from his hard-handed democratic friend the
delights of a daily " lounge" on a "comfort
able." But 1 opine, Mr. Chairmen, that
although many of these honest loco feces
would be, pleased `to pee American comforta

pet, in order to take a very cursory view of
the interior arrangements on the . second
story of the palace. The apartment on this
story which has been most admired is deno
minated the " Ladies circular Parlor," cor
responding in form, lustre, and elegance,
with the " Blue Elliptical Saloon" on the
first story. This beautiful parlor was fitted
up in handsome style by Mr. Adams, and
was occupied by that President's family, dui.-
ing his term in office, as their company re
ceiving room. Soon after Mr. Van Buren
came into power the " Ladies Circular Par
lor," as well as every other apartment in the
palace, was ordained to 'accept a splendid
outfit at the bands of the gilder, the painter,
the carver, the Upholsterer, and the impel
ler of gold and silver paper, royal Wilton and
imperial Saxon carpets, gilt rays, stars,
fringe, tassels, Fanny Kemble green glass
finger cups, fancy toilet sets, and other
lovely - feign ornaments. I discover by a
voucher now in my hand; that Mr. Van Be.
ren, on the 12th day of December, 1837,
paid $1,041 of the people's cash for the em
bellishment of the " Ladies Circular Par
ler." The, sum of 1,041 is one of the charges
in the (large bill $4,316 08) of Messrs. Pat
ten & Co. New York, and to which 1 before
referred. I will at this favourable time pre-
tent some other charges, included in this bill
of Messrs. Patten & Co. What do , yolk

I am dioimed :to believe, Mr. Chairman,
that the present occupant of the palace is not
a "real genuine" loco foco hard•handed de
mocrat. Be can't have the " right stripe."
You may depend upon it something must
be out of oar. Why, sir, he loves tassels.
'rosettes, and girlish finery almost es much
as a real Bank Whig loves hard cider. By
the act of the-Sd of March,lB37. Congress
appropriated twenty thousand dollars " for
furniture of :the President's House," 1 quote
the language of the law," for furniture of the
'President's House." Now, 1 find the entire
bill of Messrs. Patten & Co., included in the
" abstract of payments made by Thomas L.
Smith, agent tor purchasing furniture for the
-President's House, from 15th April, 1837,
to the 16th May, 1838." 1 would, there.
fore, respectfully inquire whether "silk las.
eels and rosettes" are considered household
furniture, in the legitimate democratic mean.
ing of the word 1 ask, sir, wllether "'silk
tassels and rosettes" can be democratically
inventoried as part and parcel of the house.
hold furniture of a, hard handed loco loco"?
But this is cot • all, 'for in the same abstract
6f -payments made by T. L. Smith, the
lowing bill is also included:
WASHINGTON. Aug. 23, 1831.
The United States Government for President's
House,
To Augt. F. eammeyer, Dr.

For gold leaf, gilding materials, labor,
end expenses to the President's
House, ' $2,000 00
August 25, received payment in full of T. L.
smith,
AIIGT. F. CAMMEYER."
• Do you suppose, Mr. Chairman, that ti
plain, unsophtstocated loco foco can stand
this? Will he agree that Martin Van Buren
acted fairly by paying out money which bed
been appropriated by law for " furniture for
the President's House," in buying gold leaf
and gilding materials, and afterwards
whipping the Devil round the stump" by
calling gold leaf and gilding materials house
.hold furniture? No sir, he will not. The
genuine loco loco is too honest for that.
Some few of them may, perhaps, be per
suaded to admit that ‘. silk tassels and ro
settes" are part and parcel of an orthodok
schedule of• democratic lihusehold furniture,
but I aver that the application of red hot pin
cers, racks, gibbets, bowstrings, chains, and
molten lead, cannot induce one of them to
acknowledge that gold leaf and gilding Ma
terials may bt, legitimately inserted in the
same schedule.
But the end is not yet. I have before me,
Mr. Cha irman, s the original bill (duly re . -
ceipted.) of C. H. dr J.F.White, for French
bedsteads, marble top washstands, dining
room commode with statuary marble top;
dressing bureaus, and other upholstery,
bought August 10, 1837, for the sum of
81, 509 50 of the people's cash. These ar•
ticks may be. denominated " hotisehold fur
niture in the proper and true understanding
of the terms. But, sir, I protest against ex
pending the money of my coniitiments for
elegant French bedsteads. Must the Ame
rican oak. and hickory, and cherry, and waf

refer you to the second of the act o

is in these words:
"That all furniture purchased for the

have abandoned all further service m the tanks of

of Harrison and Reform. We give them a cordial
welcome for the independent and manly preference
of their country before their party.—Their address
to the people concludes thus':
u We can no longer support a party whose golden
policy is to make the rich richer and the poor poorer;"
and whose professions for the dear people have been
so loN; and lord, Vitt whine practice proves to tts
