Messrs. Editors: On the 10th inst, for the
purpose of looking at the Presidents House,
took walk thither, in company with Mr.. w. of
Indiana. As we are both entire strangers, never
having been in this city before, we stepped up to
the door of the White House, with view to gain
admlance to crafty curiosity natural to every
citizen of this free country proud Of her institu-
tions and proud of the prosperity Of the Federal
City and its many magnificent edi6ces. With
these warm feelings and these anticipations, only
judge of our astonishment at being denied admit
lance by the porter, in an insolcnt and foreign
Irish accent, who planted himself between us and
the front door, which was then open, which he
slammed in our faces, declaring we should not en-
ter. We demonstrated, and said Mr.. Van Buren,
would lose his friends by such insolen conduct
of his servants. The fellow then declared that it
was not Mr. Van Buren, but the Commissioners
orders that admittance should be denied. The
Irishman then wheeled of, most impudentlv, and
abruptly shut down the side windows, that we
should not even have peep of the peoples pro-
perty. All this, Messrs. Editors, was done in the
most offensive manner by an insoent foreigner.


Now, would ask, are these things to be tole-
rated Are we Native Americans to be trampled
on by these Irish menials-these green foreigners!
Are our feelings to be wounded by these Swiss
domestics If they are. we must have another
4th of July, and declare our independence not on
ly of foreigners, but of all those who encourage
and pamper them, to wound the feelings of true
Americans.


As this disclosure is sheer act of Justice, | am
unwilling to shrink from the responsibility, and as
Native American proud of his name and country,
l subscribe myself
