There are thousand of people in this country who make use of the common expression, "my name is Hanes," when they are about leaving a place or party suddenly, yet few kno-v from whence the expression is derived. A more common saying, or one in more general use, has never been got up. We hear it ;n Maine and in Georgia, in Maryland nnd in Aikonsas; it is in the mouth of old and younf, the grave and gay in short ''jay name is Hanes" enjws a popularity wnWjHtn other cant phrase has ever atlnined. Having said thia much of the reputa tion of the phrase bo it our next care to give its origin. Some forty-five years sinee, a gentleman by the nsnrte of Hanes was travelling on horseback in the vicinity of Mr. Jefferson's residence in Virginia. Party spirit was running extremely high in those days. Mr. Jefferson was president, and Mr Wane was a rank federalist; and ae matter nf course, a bitter opponent to the then existing administration and its heoJ. He was not acquainted with Mr. Jeflerftin, and accident ally coining up wHh that gentleman, ols tra velling on horseback, his party zeal soon led him into a conversation upon the all-absorbing topic. In tho course of the Conversation, Hanes took particular pains to abuse Mr. Jefferson, calling hiinall sorts of hard names, run down every measure of his administration, poked the non- intercourse act at bi n aa most outrageous, and r.iinuus, ridiculing his gun boat system aa pre posterous and nonsensical opposed his pur chase of Ixuiiana aa a wild scheme in short took every leading feature of the day, decanted on them and their originator with the greatest biiten.eiis, Mr. Jefferson all the while said little. Tiicre was no such thing aa getting away from his very particular friend, and he did not exactly feel at liberty to coorbat his ar guments. They finally arrived in front of Mr. Jefferson's residence, Hanes of course not acquainted with j the fiict. Notwithstanding he had been villified and abused "like a pick pocket," to use the old saying, Mr. Jefferson eull, with the true Virgi nia hospitality and puliteoewt, invited hie, tra velling companion to alight and partake of some refreshments. I lanes was about getting from liis horse, when it occurred to him that he should osk his companion's name, "Jefferson," said the president blandly. 'What! Thomas Jefferson V "Yes sir, Tumas Jefferson." 'President Thomas Jefferson !" continued the astonished federalist. "The Bam?," rejoined Mr. Jefferson. "Well, my name it Hants" and rutting spurs to hi horse tic was out of hearing instant ly. This, we are informed, was the origin of the phrase." TUB AMERICAN. Saturday, ,"ynembrr 15, 1843.
