The day after the Ogle "omnibus" Representative Levi Lincoln, a forthright Massachusetts Whig, took issue with his unscrupulous fellow partisan. Moved by an inherent sense of decency, the former governor of the Bay State protested against the "unwarranted and undignified attack" on the Chief Executive. Lincoln pointed out that less money had been spent under Van Buren for the upkeep of the White House than under any other President. Never, he said, had Van Buren requested "a single article of furniture." In fact, the President had "invariably expressed reluctance to have anything expended for that object."
