ROUGH NOTES OF A VISIT TO WASHINGTON.
Jv.MPEL' into the rati road car at Baltimore—was whirled
ov* r the c<iurit*’v —arrived at Wiishington—J rvey set me down
at Gadxhv’s h‘>B'l—applied at the bar for lodging—-“ Alone, sir,
or in company ?” asked the bar-keeper. “Alone,” was thei
reply. Must put you in a dotdtle room, sir.” “No ; that I
cannot, allow. Porter, carry my luggage to Fuller’s.
“What is yonr objection to the doable room, sir! Large
room—extra bed, 1 presume, could not incommode you.” A
wily retreat of the bar-keeper’s, which I favoured by Stipula
ting lh»t lie might place as many beds in the room &s. be
pleaded, provided that I should be «oZe occupant.
Immense establishment—built round a hollow square, or cb
iorif*'—-w.m-dr n galleries nmniog round the building—three tiers
lo,.king into a neat court of turf, with a fountain in the centre.
As you follow the galleries, you find halls, or‘passages pene
trating the hotel at intervals, from w hich you enter bed-rooms
to the right, left, and »t th? extremity.
The dining room, a* vast hall, extending the length of the
lower gallery. The sonorous twanging of a bell, of full ten
minutes’ duration, summoned me to this apartment to break
fast.
The table had a dirty appearance—woolly headed negroes
waited on (he guests, with more * else than celerity.
Amusing mixture in the company—on my right, a chunkv,
short-necked little man, with an air of self-importance ; talking
forth, benefit of lhe table—directing his discourse more im-
I mediately to a mustached friend opposite, w hose round, clntbbv
face, and mongrel dress were altogether at discord with the
military clothing of his upper lip.
Short-necked man thought he would not attend the levee
nt the president’s—differed in politicks from the president, and
fi om most of bis connexions—his brother-in-law a staunch Van
Buren man-and had a cousin in office. “VVhv should he go
to the levee for lhe f resident to stare at him ?”
Mustached friend might have humored this apparent yc?;-
c.’i.ih! for monstrosity, but had het it hastily bi t eking three
boiletl eggs into a tumbler, attd stirring them up with hrowi'
sugar in the act o( gulping which, be had fi otlted

Vacant chair near me, taken by a youth, whose distinftuisßMa

A friend entering, call.? aloud, “Well, Fr:>nk, how do
iiad yourself this morning—what’s lhe word ?”
‘•I nod myself rather improved —was quite under the weathflo
last night.” So saying, the sore-beaded man fell to < atlirfP
for red herrings—and, while the waiter went to fish for tiiejSk
he eagerly amused himself with cold bam, a few sausagflK
buck wheat-cakes, and eggs. A "
Two young men opposite were industriously becoming MB 1
iniiiar with each otln*r. ‘‘Are you acquainted in Bos.on ?W i
inquired a tall, y -.How-haired laddie, with long arms
io narrow shoulders, of a squat, heavy looking character at hie ”
side.
“Yes; it's my plat e,” was the courteous reply.
“Ou I d’-you know Miss So-and-so f”
“An elegant girl—very itrieUigenl — daughter of So-and-so
such a firm.”
“Oh, yes
But who comes here, with a frowning solemnity, that iofectj
the very atmosphere, and causes a pang to lhe sore head off
my friend on the left—unless, indeed, some stray herring has
found its way to the affected part.
From the dark, sombre countenance, foreign air, and strong;
ly-developed brown mustache, our new man is evidently a hero !
1 surmise him to be the ghost of the whole guard imperial, new
risen from their gory bed at Waterloo. Lo! he sit- down!
he orders breakfast! I heard not lhe details; but, from his
air of stern resolve, I conjecture his coffee was tn be qualified
with blood and bullets, instead of cream and lumps of sugar.
Surely he is of more courageous parts than other men.
Curiosity led me to study this individual—to penetrate, if fM»»-
eible, the obscurity of his tragick gloom—but it begins to be
evident, as repeated apparition readers him * familiar spirit,
that the seat of Lis woes lies only on the surface.
From his excessive cultivation of his head of bail, and mus
taches, 1 believe be despairs because nature did not provide his
whole body with a similar suit of clothing, and not leave him
thus, a connecting-link between man and monkey.
2\ r ew-Years Day.— Attended the president’s levee—white
marble palace, surrounded by a spacious enclosure, planted
with trees and shrubbery—flanked at four corners, without the
enclosure, by as tpany groups of edifices, for the different de
partments—state, war, navy and treasury —all thus within th*
reach of the executive.
Crowd ol carriages at the entrance —presented, shook hands,
and passed into the drawing-room.
Brilliant, but molly assemblage—some of the choicest spir
its of the Union—some raw from the woods, almost a* wild as
a small band of painted Indians, who mingled with them, to
visit the great father. Ladies in gay and graceful morning
dresses ; ahd all received with courteous welcome by the master
of the mansion.
Much disappointed with the interior of the president’s house.
A solitar y bust of Washington is the single work of art adorn
ing its apartments, excepting an execrable full length portrait
of the same hero. The furniture too light and scanty—noth
ing on w hich the eye reposes, massive or durable, except the
walls. Mem. —Certain tall senator walking the apartments,
measuring them, in h : -s stride, for new carpets, aud meditating
ou the charges to be.
Tuesday.— Went to the capital—in form and situation the
most imposing building 1 have seen. Os great magnitude,
composed of white marble, in a noble style of architecture,
and crowned with a majestick dome. Il’s site is the brow of a
steep hill, the declivity formed into terraces, and enriched with
shrubbery and fountains. It commands the plain of’Washing
ton, enclosed an ai> amphitheatre by sm rounding hills. Ati
avenue, of spacious breath, extends between double rows of
trees, margined by houses, from the capilol to the president’s
palace, which are two miles asunder, and occupy opposing
verges of the hortzv!!.
Entering the capilol, and ascending a flight of marble steps,
! penetrated to the rotunda, a vast circular hail, illumed by the
lofty dome. Fcom hence spring-doors open into corridors lead
ing to the various chambers and offices.
Oa the walls of the rotunda are spaces icqtiisife for eight
large pa;tilings, of a national character. Four of- these ere
area iy appro niately filled with the repre* ■ ntious of the sign
ing lhe Dt'claration of independence, lhe le-igtiation of Ger,
Washington, the surrender of Burgoyne, and the capitulation
of Lord Cony? all is al Yorktown. The figures are large as
life, and portraits of the prominent a-tors. The stirring stiSA,
jects give an impressive atmosphere to the hall of the rotunda.
Above the various doors are carvings in wood, representing
«hr first landing of the whites, and their reception by the na
tives, treaties or skirmishe*. with the Indians, which are full of
character—and furnish, with the paintings I have described, a
chain of national history.
The chamber of representatives is an imposing apartment,
with carpeted floor aud richly-vaulted roof, supported by mag
nificent pillars. The seats of the members diverge like the rays
of a semi-sol from the chair of .he speaker. Visiters are ad
mitted io a semi-circular gallery, that commands the house, and
on interesting occasions is thronged with ladies.
The senate chamber is of the same character, but far less
magnitude ; and yon are immediately impressed, on entering
it, with the greater dignity of the senate as a deliberate body.
These chambers contain *»pme us t’-t soundest heads, and most
experienced judgments tn our country. Statesmen, whose
speeches edify and instruct, and whose eloquence does honour
to the nation. I regard not what incentives of ambition, what
sectional attachments, or what party prejudices may have en
gaged them in oojtOxiag ranks—my owa estrangement in a
foreign land have kept me free from these distracting feuds—*
hut I reverence that love of country w hich is the latent magnet
of these master spirits, and respect that honorable emulation
which, excites their contests.
f lament that the clearest-sighted among them are apt to view
subjects through colored glasses, rather according to the hues
of their respective cliques, or parties, than the great bearings of
the measures. It has, however, been proved that the most il
lustrious of our statesmen will discard all party considerations,
w hen the welfare of lhe country is at stake—the names of Ru
fus King and Henry Clay call up distinguished instances of
such devotion.
But there are others, and they compose the most diffusive
speakers—for whose tedious orations the emphatick word
“lengthly,” seems to have been introduced into the English
language. They may be divided into several classes, four *f
which have particularly annoyed me—the egotist, the ape of
erudition, the addlepate, and the rumijator, or chewer of the
cud. • '
The egotist speaks for the display of his own knowledge. He
begins nt the beginning, and exhausts the subject to lhe end. ,
His oration is delivered tt Congress, but it is intended for his ;
constituents. He, therefore, addresses an enlightened assem
bly of statesmen, as he would harangue an illiterate moh at an
election. Sometimes a happy fit of forgetfulness or perplexity
cuts short his intended oration, and relieves his auditors from
all but a few incoherent sentences. But he copies it out at full
length, and inflict, it on the world in successive columns of a
newspaper.
The ape of midition builds up an elaborate oration with
fragments ot collossa! architecture, which props up with Greek
and Latin quotations, and staggers beneath the load of bor
rowed eloquence, like Samson tottering under the massive gates
of Gaia. Happy for the bouse should it crush him to the earth,
and become a Giousoleum for his remains.
Ihe addle-headed orator has fluency of speech, hut not tho
(uculty of arrangement. He utters ideas, or mere words, just
as they occur, anti jmnl lcs up sense and nonsense, as the liquor
and serdinqjit gurgle, mingled together, from an inverted bottle.
\ on must pass his speech through a sieve or filter, to render it
• intelligible.
The chcwer of the cm] is the most plausible but ijiost weari •’
I I some of all these lengthy gg tois. lie lies patiently in wait dlt?
