II When Mr. Van Buren left the White
House. he stripped ii of most-of its furniture and
it was necessary to, supply The place We sup
pose MIR. V. B wanted all that fine furniture a.
dorm his own aristocratic villa of "Lindonwald"
Detroit AdUertiser.
There never were grosser fabIications contrived
to excite the jealousy and the Indignation of the
plain farmers of the country against the President
of their choice, than the stories invented by the
Ogles and dother log-cabin pfetenders about the o.
rental splendor of the White House during tho
late Democratic Administration When these
worthless came in, and voted 8 5000 to General
Harrison to addto this repuled magnffcence, they
had TO invent new EllSehoodS 10 cover the first.
This of the Detroit Advertiser is one of them
The Coon spoils-hunters, when'they came to Wash.
ngton to receive their shares, were astonished at
the simplicity of the furniture and decoration Of
the White House; but, without the leas remorse


for the unj Just censure they had brought upon Mr.
Van Buren by their misrepresentation in regard
to it they resolved to avert the disgrace in which
the discovery would involve their party by heap
ing aspersions the ex-Presidcnt. They
charged that he had run off with the furniture
which had so dazzled the eyes of the people. So
far from this being true, we know that MIR. Van
Buren, left in the White House more than he found
in it upon his ACCESSION, and more than was pro-
vded during his term at the public expense AS





for him personally, was suppos' properly to be


intended for :" the President" and decoration
for the mansion and, very much to the mortif[
cation of the donor, ia valued friend of Mr.. Van


Buren,) it was left in the house. Both General
Jackson and Mr.. Van Buren furnished many
things for the convenience and comfort of the Gov
eminent establishment at their own private ex-
pense; and in this way we'll as by their econ


omy and care, rendered less provision by the pub


lie necessary than the long and i'll use of the fur


niture originally procured would otherwise have
required. General Jackson, if we mistake not,


saved considerable portion of the ordinary outfit
to restore and maintain the old establishment and


dedicated it to adorn the then empty Eastroom.


Mr.. Van Buren, instead of having the old furni-


ture sacrificed at auction, and making display of


novelties at great cost had everything repaired,


regflded, and restored and he left all in such


good order that Whiggery ventured to describe il


as too sumptuous for a Republican, Prcsidcnl--aS


fit only for royalty to frvcl inTl What it is now


with the additional sum appropriated bv Congress


to improve it, we cannot say. The Wing letter.


writers, who have inspected the house, speak Of it


as deplorabfe. Globe
