Major Downing’s account of the important difference between common ’‘Specs,” and ma gical glasses; shewing by plain matters of fact, how much more difficult it is too see through j the latter than it is the former. Washington, 29th Nov. 1833. To my old friend Mr. Dwight of the New York Advertiser who prints none but my rale : gsmvine letters. — “ The last letter 1 writ to you teil’d you about j the hunt we had after the Gineral’s specs, and when we iound cm they was all stomp’d to bit® j in his boot. The Ginersd and all on us have j been in trouble ever since about it, for they were : given to him by Mr. Yan Burcn, the very day Mr. Van Enron came to jinc him at Washing ton as Secretary of State, and he toll’d the Gin eral never to let nobody handle them are specs but himself, and that when they got out of or der, never to let nobody mend cm but himself. And do you know so particular was the Gineral, that when Mr. Van Buren was absent, 1 have known him to send them specs clean to Eng land for Mr. Van Buren to fix cm for him; for they had a dozen littlescrews and springs to cm, that sometimes would git out of order, and when that was the case, you coul’nd see no more threw eni than you could threw Air. A an l>uion himself. As soon then as we found cm all broke, to bits, as I teil’d you in my last letter, the Gineral was in the greatest trouble I ever see; and he wrote right ofi’ to Mr. 3an Buren about it, and sent the letter by express clear to Albanv, where Mr. Van Buren was: and until that express got hack agin the Gineral could do nothing with business.’ lie was as bad off as an owi in the sun shine. So to rights the ex press got back, and brought a letter from Mr. Van Buren, and a now pair of specs—just like the old ones (afore they were broken)—there Want a might of difference. He put cm on, and he looked as n&lrul agin in cm as ever. “Aha!” says lie “Major, these arc the specs aftei all.” “’Tis strange,” says he, “I can’t sec tilings with Gov. Cass’s specs, nor Gov. Woodberry’s nor any body’s as well as I can with these; for they aiv just like the pair l broke;”—and then ho read Mr. Van Bu len’s letter, “See hero now, Major,’’Says the Gineral; “how kind it is in Mr. Van Baron to caution me, agin and ngm, not to touch the j screws; and do you know,” says the Gineral, “that ever since I have had Mr. “Van Buren with me, that whenever wc come to read over, any lung statement about polities, and who to ■ appoint or what to do with the Bank, or an) thing that required sharp looking into, he would i always first examine my specs, and take them , ■to the window, or to a corner with a light, and j see that all was right, and try em himself and j then brill” cm back to me, for as lie sa) (and he is a knowin oritur) that unless l ean see well j into every thing, I best see nothin. A kinder notisn then jest began to git in my head that I could’nt scratch out all 1 could do. —And says I, “Gineral, I would like now pcs kdv to examine them specs, for if Mr, Van Bu ren has not got a patent for cm, (and scein he is Vice President and don't need one) I think of gitfin one myself.” “Well,” says the Gineral, “I nevci like to refuse you nothin; but Mr. A an Buren made mo promise never to let no body examine into em; and especially you; for,” says he, “Major do you know that Mr Van En ron has a notion you know a good deal about contrivances, and that it is the natur ol your people Down East; and it might bo he intends to git a patent himself for these very specs, and if so,he •ughtjto have it; for he says they are j is’ as much his invention as your letters aio youi n. “Well,” says I “its no matter.” But I got a kink in me to examine them arc specs; ami l could’nt .sleep, nor eat, nor diink, till I got hold an cm. So one night, when I and the Gineral ’ Lid boon rcadin over the message, end it was ail finish’d and complete, he put his name to *’ “and now,” says h. “Major, do you attend 1° the priirtin on’t and git about 100 copies on’t senu to our folks who are distant, so they can git it as soon, and a little afore the opposition folks can send it express, (alter it is delivr’d to Congo ss) —“and so he wenl to bed, for he wa3 env most boat out. Now thinks I, for a try e*. them specs! for I was all the while thinkin on em, and the public work could’nt go on without em. And so I snook’d em out, and clap’d thetra on—the Gineral all the while scorin like a north wester. As soon as I took up the Message, un lo it at it, I could’nt make head nor fail on’t. seem’d to me jist for all the world, like a i. of them show boxes, all the letters and i.gcr:,. was goin round, and look’d all tho while iike some of them crouds wo see lari summer on the grand toner, throwin up hats, an-1 cryinghuzza for the Gineral, and Maj. Dow .•ring, and Mr. Van Buren, and then agin, thero was great glare, and it seem’d jist as if the Gineral was in the iddie on’t and Mr. Vers Buren, and .Major Barry, snd Amos K:nd!\ and a raft more of our folks, a!! seem,d to be standin iound, firing oft - rockets: they would squirt up over the Gineral, and burst, and then shower down stars (jist as folks tell on totber night when the stars all did git a eaperin,)— and jist as they w'*uld come nigh the Gineral, these stars would git together and burst agin;— and then you could see nothin but “glory” and not a mite of the Gineral. Well, thinks I, if the Gineral can read (b& Message with these specs, it’s more than I can. But I stuck to it. I kept lurnin over the leaves till 1 got to the Treasury accounts and the Bank Business, and the deposits, and matters of such (in ur,—l had read all that over se often before, with the Gineral, I had it all by heart. But when 1 came to look at it through them specs, it was no more like it than I am like Mr. Van Buren. The accounts was all jumbled up, and then came any spell of “glory” agin; the letters and ligers ull turnin into a crowd of folks and the win up hats; and there was squire Biddle standin at the door of his Bank, and Clay, and Webster, and Calhoun, and a crowd more of such chaps about him with clubs in their hands kcepin off our folks, who all seem to be tryin to get into the windows; and some had got in and was jist comin out with hags on their backs, and among em l could see the cashiers of tho deposits banks, with as much as they could stagger under, and all cairy in a label with“glo* ry” and “huzza for Gineia! Jackson;” and then agin up went another batch of rockets land thero was the Gineral in another blaze of “glory;” and jest as fast as I turn’d over the leaves, an J look’., a spell, every thing would git to eaperin agin and end in a blow up; and I could jest gif, a glimpse at the Gineral all kiver’d up in “Glo ry-” j Well, thinks I, if things looks so to the Gir j oral, as they do to me through these specs, I I don't wonder so much that he don’t always seo 1 ’em as other (oiks do; and then l went to work, I looking into the cqptrivance; I give one screw a twisfone way, and the glasses flew round like a flash, and l took up the message agin, and hud another look, the letters and figers would I all jump about a spell, and change sides; and when you come to read ’em they warnt nothin like what l had written cm, so I kept on turnin tho screws, and slippiu the springs, and every time I’d try another look, things kept all the while lookin diflere.it —and by and by got ’em so that things look’d jist ns they are;and as they look threw most specs.—Well, thinks I, if this don’t beat all natur. A,d the more I look’d intu the contrivance of them arc specs, the more 1 Licsan to think that they knew a thing or tw o in Albany. And, norv, thinks I, 1,11 leave these specsjjs they now ore, and let the Cine ; rad take a look at tilings as he us’d to, before 1 Mr. Van Buren give him a pair ot spectacles And so the next morning, when the Gincrti come into the Cabinet room up chamber, the first tiling ho said,’says he “Major, I’ll take good cure how I put these specs in my panta oons pocket again.” And lie took em out of his side pocket, and begun rubbin em, “no v,” says he, “Major, jest let me take another look at that Message. I i want to see, says he, how the Treasury counts, : and the Bank matters look, once more, lor do ’ you know, says he, Major, 1 don’t know much about figers, and every time I read that over, I’d , git puzzled. But 1 suppose it’s all right; and | us soon as l git puzzled with such matters, I seem to think the people understand it if I can almost swear I can see ’em jest as glad let mo do or say what I will, as they nil was on the grand tovand that's emit!'.”—Sol turned over the m to ii.at pur! the Gineral want* cd to .; > • and he r ut or.
