BEADLE. + +1865. + + + + +PREFACE. + + +Among the laborers at the Department of the Interior is an intelligent +colored man, Paul Jennings, who was born a slave on President Madison's +estate, in Montpelier, Va., in 1799. His reputed father was Benj. +Jennings, an English trader there; his mother, a slave of Mr. Madison, +and the granddaughter of an Indian. Paul was a "body servant" of Mr. +Madison, till his death, and afterwards of Daniel Webster, having +purchased his freedom of Mrs. Madison. His character for sobriety, +truth, and fidelity, is unquestioned; and as he was a daily witness of +interesting events, I have thought some of his recollections were worth +writing down in almost his own language. + +On the 10th of January, 1865, at a curious sale of books, coins and +autographs belonging to Edward M. Thomas, a colored man, for many years +Messenger to the House of Representatives, was sold, among other curious +lots, an autograph of Daniel Webster, containing these words: "I have +paid $120 for the freedom of Paul Jennings; he agrees to work out the +same at $8 per month, to be furnished with board, clothes, washing," &c. + +J.

Mr. Madison was anxious to be +elected, and sent his chariot to bring up a Scotchman to the polls, who +lived in the neighborhood. But when brought up, he cried out: "Put me +down for Colonel Monroe, for he was the first man that took me by the +hand in this country." Colonel Monroe was elected, and his friends joked +Mr. Madison pretty hard about his Scotch friend, and I have heard Mr. +Madison and Colonel Monroe have many a hearty laugh over the subject, +for years after. + +When Mr. Madison was chosen President, we came on and moved into the +White House; the east room was not finished, and Pennsylvania Avenue +was not paved, but was always in an awful condition from either mud or +dust. The city was a dreary place. + +Mr. Robert Smith was then Secretary of State, but as he and Mr. Madison +could not agree, he was removed, and Colonel Monroe appointed to his +place. Dr. Eustis was Secretary of War--rather a rough, blustering man; +Mr. Gallatin, a tip-top man, was Secretary of the Treasury; and Mr. +Hamilton, of South Carolina, a pleasant gentleman, who thought Mr. +Madison could do nothing wrong, and who always concurred in every thing +he said, was Secretary of the Navy. + +Before the war of 1812 was declared, there were frequent consultations +at the White House as to the expediency of doing it. Colonel Monroe was +always fierce for it, so were Messrs. Lowndes, Giles, Poydrass, and +Pope--all Southerners; all his Secretaries were likewise in favor of it. + +Soon after war was declared, Mr. Madison made his regular summer visit +to his farm in Virginia. We had not been there long before an express +reached us one evening, informing Mr. M. of Gen. Hull's surrender. He +was astounded at the news, and started back to Washington the next +morning. + +After the war had been going on for a couple of years, the people of +Washington began to be alarmed for the safety of the city, as the +British held Chesapeake Bay with a powerful fleet and army. Every thing +seemed to be left to General Armstrong, then Secretary of war, who +ridiculed the idea that there was any danger. But, in August, 1814, the +enemy had got so near, there could be no doubt of their intentions. +Great alarm existed, and some feeble preparations for defence were made. +Com. Barney's flotilla was stripped of men, who were placed in battery, +at Bladensburg, where they fought splendidly. A large part of his men +were tall, strapping negroes, mixed with white sailors and marines. Mr. +Madison reviewed them just before the fight, and asked Com. Barney if +his "negroes would not run on the approach of the British?" "No sir," +said Barney, "they don't know how to run; they will die by their guns +first." They fought till a large part of them were killed or wounded; +and Barney himself wounded and taken prisoner. One or two of these +negroes are still living here. + +Well, on the 24th of August, sure enough, the British reached +Bladensburg, and the fight began between 11 and 12. Even that very +morning General Armstrong assured Mrs. Madison there was no danger. The +President, with General Armstrong, General Winder, Colonel Monroe, +Richard Rush, Mr. Graham, Tench Ringgold, and Mr. Duvall, rode out on +horseback to Bladensburg to see how things looked. Mrs. Madison ordered +dinner to be ready at 3, as usual; I set the table myself, and brought +up the ale, cider, and wine, and placed them in the coolers, as all the +Cabinet and several military gentlemen and strangers were expected. +While waiting, at just about 3, as Sukey, the house-servant, was lolling +out of a chamber window, James Smith, a free colored man who had +accompanied Mr. Madison to Bladensburg, gallopped up to the house, +waving his hat, and cried out, "Clear out, clear out! General Armstrong +has ordered a retreat!" All then was confusion. Mrs. Madison ordered her +carriage, and passing through the dining-room, caught up what silver she +could crowd into her old-fashioned reticule, and then jumped into the +chariot with her servant girl Sukey, and Daniel Carroll, who took charge +of them; Jo. Bolin drove them over to Georgetown Heights; the British +were expected in a few minutes. Mr. Cutts, her brother-in-law, sent me +to a stable on 14th street, for his carriage. People were running in +every direction. John Freeman (the colored butler) drove off in the +coachee with his wife, child, and servant; also a feather bed lashed on +behind the coachee, which was all the furniture saved, except part of +the silver and the portrait of Washington (of which I will tell you +by-and-by). + +I will here mention that although the British were expected every +minute, they did not arrive for some hours; in the mean time, a rabble, +taking advantage of the confusion, ran all over the White House, and +stole lots of silver and whatever they could lay their hands on. + +About sundown I walked over to the Georgetown ferry, and found the +President and all hands (the gentlemen named before, who acted as a sort +of body-guard for him) waiting for the boat. It soon returned, and we +all crossed over, and passed up the road about a mile; they then left us +servants to wander about. In a short time several wagons from +Bladensburg, drawn by Barney's artillery horses, passed up the road, +having crossed the Long Bridge before it was set on fire. As we were +cutting up some pranks a white wagoner ordered us away, and told his boy +Tommy to reach out his gun, and he would shoot us. I told him "he had +better have used it at Bladensburg." Just then we came up with Mr. +Madison and his friends, who had been wandering about for some hours, +consulting what to do. I walked on to a Methodist minister's, and in the +evening, while he was at prayer, I heard a tremendous explosion, and, +rushing out, saw that the public buildings, navy yard, ropewalks, &c., +were on fire. + +Mrs. Madison slept that night at Mrs. Love's, two or three miles over +the river. After leaving that place she called in at a house, and went +up stairs. The lady of the house learning who she was, became furious, +and went to the stairs and screamed out, "Miss Madison! if that's you, +come down and go out! Your husband has got mine out fighting, and d-- +you, you shan't stay in my house; so get out!" Mrs. Madison complied, +and went to Mrs. Minor's, a few miles further, where she stayed a day or +two, and then returned to Washington, where she found Mr. Madison at her +brother-in-law's, Richard Cutts, on F street. All the facts about Mrs. +M. I learned from her servant Sukey. We moved into the house of Colonel +John B. Taylor, corner of 18th street and New York Avenue, where we +lived till the news of peace arrived. + +In two or three weeks after we returned, Congress met in extra session, +at Blodgett's old shell of a house on 7th street (where the General +Post-office now stands). It was three stories high, and had been used +for a theatre, a tavern, an Irish boarding house, &c.; but both Houses +of Congress managed to get along in it very well, notwithstanding it had +to accommodate the Patent-office, City and General Post-office, +committee-rooms, and what was left of the Congressional Library, at the +same time. Things are very different now. + +The next summer, Mr. John Law, a large property-holder about the +Capitol, fearing it would not be rebuilt, got up a subscription and +built a large brick building (now called the Old Capitol, where the +secesh prisoners are confined), and offered it to Congress for their +use, till the Capitol could be rebuilt. This coaxed them back, though +strong efforts were made to remove the seat of government north; but the +southern members kept it here. + +It has often been stated in print, that when Mrs. Madison escaped from +the White House, she cut out from the frame the large portrait of +Washington (now in one of the parlors there), and carried it off. This +is totally false. She had no time for doing it. It would have required a +ladder to get it down. All she carried off was the silver in her +reticule, as the British were thought to be but a few squares off, and +were expected every moment. John Susé (a Frenchman, then door-keeper, +and still living) and Magraw, the President's gardener, took it down and +sent it off on a wagon, with some large silver urns and such other +valuables as could be hastily got hold of. When the British did arrive, +they ate up the very dinner, and drank the wines, &c., that I had +prepared for the President's party. + +When the news of peace arrived, we were crazy with joy. Miss Sally +Coles, a cousin of Mrs. Madison, and afterwards wife of Andrew +Stevenson, since minister to England, came to the head of the stairs, +crying out, "Peace! peace!" and told John Freeman (the butler) to serve +out wine liberally to the servants and others. I played the President's +March on the violin, John Susé and some others were drunk for two days, +and such another joyful time was never seen in Washington. Mr. Madison +and all his Cabinet were as pleased as any, but did not show their joy +in this manner. + +Mrs. Madison was a remarkably fine woman. She was beloved by every body +in Washington, white and colored. Whenever soldiers marched by, during +the war, she always sent out and invited them in to take wine and +refreshments, giving them liberally of the best in the house. Madeira +wine was better in those days than now, and more freely drank. In the +last days of her life, before Congress purchased her husband's papers, +she was in a state of absolute poverty, and I think sometimes suffered +for the necessaries of life. While I was a servant to Mr. Webster, he +often sent me to her with a market-basket full of provisions, and told +me whenever I saw anything in the house that I thought she was in need +of, to take it to her. I often did this, and occasionally gave her +small sums from my own pocket, though I had years before bought my +freedom of her. + +Mr. Madison, I think, was one of the best men that ever lived. I never +saw him in a passion, and never knew him to strike a slave, although he +had over one hundred; neither would he allow an overseer to do it. +Whenever any slaves were reported to him as stealing or "cutting up" +badly, he would send for them and admonish them privately, and never +mortify them by doing it before others. They generally served him very +faithfully. He was temperate in his habits. I don't think he drank a +quart of brandy in his whole life. He ate light breakfasts and no +suppers, but rather a hearty dinner, with which he took invariably but +one glass of wine. When he had hard drinkers at his table, who had put +away his choice Madeira pretty freely, in response to their numerous +toasts, he would just touch the glass to his lips, or dilute it with +water, as they pushed about the decanters. For the last fifteen years +of his life he drank no wine at all. + +After he retired from the presidency, he amused himself chiefly on his +farm. At the election for members of the Virginia Legislature, in 1829 +or '30, just after General Jackson's accession, he voted for James +Barbour, who had been a strong Adams man. He also presided, I think, +over the Convention for amending the Constitution, in 1832. + +After the news of peace, and of General Jackson's victory at New +Orleans, which reached here about the same time, there were great +illuminations. We moved into the Seven Buildings, corner of 19th-street +and Pennsylvania Avenue, and while there, General Jackson came on with +his wife, to whom numerous dinner-parties and levees were given. Mr. +Madison also held levees every Wednesday evening, at which wine, punch, +coffee, ice-cream, &c., were liberally served, unlike the present +custom. + +While Mr. Jefferson was President, he and Mr. Madison (then his +Secretary of State) were extremely intimate; in fact, two brothers could +not have been more so. Mr. Jefferson always stopped over night at Mr. +Madison's, in going and returning from Washington. + +I have heard Mr. Madison say, that when he went to school, he cut his +own wood for exercise. He often did it also when at his farm in +Virginia. He was very neat, but never extravagant, in his clothes. He +always dressed wholly in black--coat, breeches, and silk stockings, with +buckles in his shoes and breeches. He never had but one suit at a time. +He had some poor relatives that he had to help, and wished to set them +an example of economy in the matter of dress. He was very fond of +horses, and an excellent judge of them, and no jockey ever cheated him. +He never had less than seven horses in his Washington stables while +President. + +He often told the story, that one day riding home from court with old +Tom Barbour (father of Governor Barbour), they met a colored man, who +took off his hat. Mr. M. raised his, to the surprise of old Tom; to whom +Mr. M. replied, "I never allow a negro to excel me in politeness." +Though a similar story is told of General Washington, I have often heard +this, as above, from Mr. Madison's own lips. + +After Mr. Madison retired from the presidency, in 1817, he invariably +made a visit twice a year to Mr. Jefferson--sometimes stopping two or +three weeks--till Mr. Jefferson's death, in 1826. + +I was always with Mr. Madison till he died, and shaved him every other +day for sixteen years. For six months before his death, he was unable to +walk, and spent most of his time reclined on a couch; but his mind was +bright, and with his numerous visitors he talked with as much animation +and strength of voice as I ever heard him in his best days. I was +present when he died. That morning Sukey brought him his breakfast, as +usual. He could not swallow. His niece, Mrs. Willis, said, "What is the +matter, Uncle Jeames?" "Nothing more than a change of _mind_, my dear." +His head instantly dropped, and he ceased breathing as quietly as the +snuff of a candle goes out. He was about eighty-four years old, and was +followed to the grave by an immense procession of white and colored +people. The pall-bearers were Governor Barbour, Philip P. Barbour, +Charles P. Howard, and Reuben Conway; the two last were neighboring +farmers. + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of A Colored Man's Reminiscences of James +Madison, by Paul Jennings + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK 57259 *** diff --git a/57259-8.txt b/57259-8.txt deleted file mode 100644 index fb2b50b..0000000 --- a/57259-8.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,699 +0,0 @@ -The Project Gutenberg EBook of A Colored Man's Reminiscences of James -Madison, by Paul Jennings - -This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and most -other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no restrictions -whatsoever.

At the election for members of the Virginia Legislature, in 1829 -or '30, just after General Jackson's accession, he voted for James -Barbour, who had been a strong Adams man. He also presided, I think, -over the Convention for amending the Constitution, in 1832. - -After the news of peace, and of General Jackson's victory at New -Orleans, which reached here about the same time, there were great -illuminations. We moved into the Seven Buildings, corner of 19th-street -and Pennsylvania Avenue, and while there, General Jackson came on with -his wife, to whom numerous dinner-parties and levees were given. Mr. -Madison also held levees every Wednesday evening, at which wine, punch, -coffee, ice-cream, &c., were liberally served, unlike the present -custom. - -While Mr. Jefferson was President, he and Mr. Madison (then his -Secretary of State) were extremely intimate; in fact, two brothers could -not have been more so. Mr. Jefferson always stopped over night at Mr. -Madison's, in going and returning from Washington. - -I have heard Mr. Madison say, that when he went to school, he cut his -own wood for exercise. He often did it also when at his farm in -Virginia. He was very neat, but never extravagant, in his clothes. He -always dressed wholly in black--coat, breeches, and silk stockings, with -buckles in his shoes and breeches. He never had but one suit at a time. -He had some poor relatives that he had to help, and wished to set them -an example of economy in the matter of dress. He was very fond of -horses, and an excellent judge of them, and no jockey ever cheated him. -He never had less than seven horses in his Washington stables while -President. - -He often told the story, that one day riding home from court with old -Tom Barbour (father of Governor Barbour), they met a colored man, who -took off his hat. Mr. M. raised his, to the surprise of old Tom; to whom -Mr. M. replied, "I never allow a negro to excel me in politeness." -Though a similar story is told of General Washington, I have often heard -this, as above, from Mr. Madison's own lips. - -After Mr. Madison retired from the presidency, in 1817, he invariably -made a visit twice a year to Mr. Jefferson--sometimes stopping two or -three weeks--till Mr. Jefferson's death, in 1826. - -I was always with Mr. Madison till he died, and shaved him every other -day for sixteen years. For six months before his death, he was unable to -walk, and spent most of his time reclined on a couch; but his mind was -bright, and with his numerous visitors he talked with as much animation -and strength of voice as I ever heard him in his best days. I was -present when he died. That morning Sukey brought him his breakfast, as -usual. He could not swallow. His niece, Mrs. Willis, said, "What is the -matter, Uncle Jeames?" "Nothing more than a change of _mind_, my dear." -His head instantly dropped, and he ceased breathing as quietly as the -snuff of a candle goes out. He was about eighty-four years old, and was -followed to the grave by an immense procession of white and colored -people. The pall-bearers were Governor Barbour, Philip P. Barbour, -Charles P. Howard, and Reuben Conway; the two last were neighboring -farmers. - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of A Colored Man's Reminiscences of James -Madison, by Paul Jennings - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK REMINISCENCES *** - -***** This file should be named 57259-8.txt or 57259-8.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/5/7/2/5/57259/ - -Produced by MWS, Martin Pettit and the Online Distributed -Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was -produced from images generously made available by The -Internet Archive/American Libraries.) - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.
