A Co At either of the above Cities Cut this out for future reference Anecdotes of Van Buren Jackson etc relates the following anecdotes vouching for their truthfulness to Mr MB VAX Mr Van Buren well knew my intimacy with the President but it made no difference in his own demeanor towards inc Mr Van never employed the arts of personal conciliation of which he has been accused To ine ho was always perfectly polite but cold and reserved 1 tried hard to win his regard but never felt that I had made the slightest progress towards it Even when I had rendered him a personal service or of the line of my official duty I could not lessen between us by a hair's breadth lie had a singular aversion to accounts and an inaptitude for keeping them that was in a man who was so careful to discharge his pecuniary Soon after he arrived in ington he canie to me with a puzzled expression of countenance and said that his bank account was in confusion find that he would be very much obliged to me if I would look it over and tell him positively whether he hud any money in the bank or not I told him I would do it with much pleasure and asked him for his said he what is that? He actually did not know what a was and indeed they were not commonly used thirty years ago except by business men When 1 had straightened out his account I procured him a and ex- to him tho mode of using it He manifested the delight as a child does in a new toy and I saw him show it as a great curiosity to one of his Southern friends 1 remember a curious incident of my intercourse with tho Secretary of State I had occasion to call upon him at his own house one morning when I found him writing Read that letter Mr said he when he had finished and tell me what you think of it I read the letter and said I will tell you what I think of it with a great dca of pleasure Mr Van Buren if you will tell me what it is about will he said I think it will answer lie then folded the letter and immediately turned to the business upon which I had come The letter was so worded that no one unacquainted with its subject could have attached the slightest meaning to any part of it This extraordinary man cold and cautious as he to me and to tho world was exceedingly amiable am even jovial in his own house I caught him once lying on a sofa engaged in a romp with his boys which he finished hy throwing a sofa cushion at one o them 1 fe was also at times very frank at both his opinions and his expedients One day after h had astonished a company of Virginians with a display of what seemed to them almost a miraculous with the the local politics of Virginia I asked him hm he had acquired his information adding that the Vir upon going out had expressed boundless wonde at the extent of his knowledge He answered that h had gathered most of it from those very Virginians wit whom he had conversed He had allowed them to tal ad libitum and by adding what they let fall to what h knew before he was enabled to appear to know mor than they did The terror of Mr Van life was to be thought an intriguer The very pains which he took to avoid the appearance of intrigue was often the means of fastening the charge upon him JACKSON'S OLD PIPE But to return to General General was a striking illustration of the doctrine of compensation His will if directly resisted was not to be shaken by mortal power but if artfully managed he was more easily swayed and imposed upon than any man of his was a certain member of Congress who had set his heart upon a certain foreign mission and had tried to compass his aim without effect He ob- a clue in some way to one of the Generals weaknesses and changed his tactics in consequence He cultivated my acquaintance assiduously and accompanied me to the White House where he gradually established himself upon a footing of office familiarity I saw him one afternoon perform the following scene in the al's private office myself being the only spectator thereof The General was smoking his pipe General began the member I am about to ask a favor sir that will cost you nothing aud the Government nothing but will gratify me ingly It is granted said the President What is Well General I have an old father at home who has as great an esteem for your character as one man can have for another Before 1 left home he charged me to get for him if possible one of General Jackson's pipes and that is the favor 1 now ask of you Oil said the General laughing and ing the bell When the servant came he told him to bring two or three clean pipes Excuse me said the member but may I ask you for that very pipe you have just been The President proceeding to empty it of the ashes when the member once more interrupted him No General don't empty out the tobacco 1 want that pipe just as it is just as it left your lips The member took the pipe to tho table folded it fully and reverently in a piece of paper thanked the General lor the precious gift with the utmost warmth and left the room with the air of a man whose highest flight of ambition had just been more than gratified In n little less than three weeks after that man de- parted on a mission to one of the South American States and it was that pipe that did the business for him At least 1 thought so and if there is any meaning in a wink he thought so too It was also a fact as he in confidence assured me that his old father did revere General Jackson and would be much gratified to possess one of his pipes i once heard a pill vender say to ono who had laughed at his extravagant advertisements Well these pills of mine to my certain knowledge have cured some people Speaking of office seeking I will relate you the singular process by which a clerk in tho War ment was transformed into a Senator of the United States If I had not been an of this man's extraordinary proceedings I could not believe the story He was a loud blustering fluent idle politician from the North a protege or friend of one of the lie was sitting on the piazza of n hotel one afternoon au he was much addicted when a young inn from tho south began to declaim against the stration aud to denounce with particular warmth the just referred to said the War clerk if you feel it necessary 0 speak iu that way I will thank you to speak in a ower tone The gentleman you are abusing is a friend mine I don't care your friend I shall say what please of the scoundrel and as loud as I please The clerk flew at the young Southerner but the tanders before much damage was done In a minutes an officer of the army presented to the clerk challenge from the young gentleman which the clerk accepted lie asked me to be his second I knew just as much of the duelling science as he did which was lothing at all nor did I think it proper for an employee of the government to bring discredit upon it by engaging n an affair of that kind I declined peremptorily and advised him to procure tho assistance of a military man who understood such things He started in pursuit ol the only officer with whom he had exchanged a syllable iu Washington a captain to whom he had been casually the evening before in a lie found lis man and induced him to serve What are your weapons asked the second X ou your choice you know Have I 1 exclaimed tho By 1 leaven then 1 have him on the hip I choose small swords lime to-morrow morning at sunrise The second remonstrated The principal insisted Ine second of the Southerner protested The clerk was in- flexible A postponement MBS asked that weapons might be procured and the young gentleman instructed in their use But no the next morning at the rising of tho sim was the only time the clerk would hear ot Late in the evening after many hours negotiation and the interchange of notes innumerable the second ot the Southerner formally declined the meeting J he next morning the clerk posted tho young man as a on all the walls iu Washington In tho course of the day 1 met the victorious clerk and asked him where he had learned the use of the small sword Small sword said he I never had one in niy hand I don't know what it is And I knew he didn t He coined great eclat by this proceeding He was regarded as a champion of the Administration and the President who could no more help sympathising with a fight than a duck could help liking water intensely ratified The same day news came that an important 0 i i and mv His countenance assumed a knowing slightly expression as he replied Young man we are not too old to Ou another occasion he said w j vacancy had occurred in a my V fighting friend saw that his hour had come He wrote a resignation of his dating it on the day of the challenge aud presented it to the chief of his department with these words Of course sir before accepting the challenge I resigned my place in the department I am not the man to connect the Administration with a duel Hero it is sir dated as you will perceive yesterday The Secretary was delighted The President was completely won Rather than not reward a partisan who had fought for him or who had shown a willingness to he would almost have resigned his own office in favor of the champion He gave him nine letters ol introduction to personal friends in the Territory after that Territory was admitted into the as a sovereign State and my fighting friend came back as one of its Senators He served out his whole term out once revisiting the State he represented and then retired to private life T This incident reminds me of a conversation I once had with the President upon the subject of party I am uo politician But if I v uro a would be a New-York politician American Topics iu Prom fnf I It may appear ingenious to uruo im- prou idt to political wisdom do
