DEMOCRATS! RememberthatSATUßDAY
NEXT is the Anniversary of Independence.—
FARMERS—MECHANICS—and WORKING
MEN—wo hope you will give that one day to',
your country. The enemies of Liberty—the op
ponents of Democracy—are striving.hard to got
up a large celebration, so that they may trumpet
it forth as hn evidence ‘‘strong as hojy writ,” that
this ancient republican county is about to join the
common enemy, . Will you permit them to out-
thatjutpresting occasion!. - Will
you suffer the impression to get abroad, that
mboracy is oi), the retrograde in “old mother Cum
herlandl” We think not. On the contrary/we~
believe that you will take nn honest pride in show
ing to the democracy of yollf sister counties, and
to your enemies at homo, that you are as strong
and impregnable as ever,* and that.-you are able
and determined to give an overwhelming majority
for tho candidates of your party.
Well, then—COME ONE—COME ALL—to,
thn Cnloblatiiin at WUNEEIILIGH’S GROVE,
ami lot your enemies have a-foretaste s of what you
can do in the great cuitcslthat is rapidly approach
ing.
FREEMEN—READ!—Certified copies frdm
the records of Indiana and Ohio, relative to the
■ vote, &c. of Gen. Harrisnn'in regard’to poor white
men and women. The federalists have heretofore
attempted to deny the, charge, or explain it away
—hut the}' have wofnlly failed in the attempt.—
In order to remove ever}' douht on the mind of
evert' man in'this community, whose, mind is open
to conviction, we this week insert the authentica
t d records published and endorsed by several of
the most prominent and respectable citizens of
Washington county^
We ask you—nay we beseechyou, FREEMEN,
to read the article over and over again. We en
treat every POOR MAN in the community to read
it. Read it—one and all—and then put it to your
own consciences, whether such a man as William
11. Harrison is deserving of your, vote. If there is
o single POOR MAN' so regardless of his own
rights and liberties, as to vote for so unfeeling a
tyrant, after such an exposition, then arc woegre
giously mistaken in your character.

'■ THE “STANDING ARMY" HUHBDGI "
This.ls the latest galj,- trap set by the Federal-
Iststo catch votes—a more recommendation of the
Secretaiy at War, for the better arming and disci
plining the aaingle feature in the
whole plan having the remotest resemblance to,
any thing like a “Standing Army” The plan was
suggested by the Secretary in obedience toaresb
lution of Congress, and differs but little from those
recommended by all his predecessors in that De
partment, What is the more astonishing in tills
outcry, ta tiio fact that General Harrison himself,
many ago, recommended,a re-modeling of
the militia system—only mucli more objectionable
in its details. And what is still more astounding
—if any'thing can astonish the people al-tho Ver
salility.of (he Harrison leaders-d-mony of the lead,
ing Federal presses, when Mr. Poinsett’s (report
was first published,were in ecstasies at the mea
sure, and pronpunced it a model of excellence.—
But a. “change has come o’er the spirit of their
dream,” and, perfectly in character with all their
former conduct, they now turn round and denounce
the Administration for the veryjneasuro they were
loud in their praises of not three months ago!’
~Bufwe arc giving more latitude to ouFremarks
than this new coined Federal humbug merits. The
better plan, wo opine, would be to'turn the whole
affair into ridicule—as a miserable,-shallow, non-1
sensical device, which no man who has any re
gard to his own character for intelligence, would
ever think of .presenting to thd people fo induce
them to vote for Gen. Harrison. So thinking, wo
do not know that wo could present any thing bet
ter to our readers, than the following from the
Greensburg Republican. It meets' our views ex
actly.
‘‘Findingthattbp “hard cider” and “log cabin”
humbug has lost its .magical influence over ihV
people/the federal papers have raised tho cry of
-Tney-aro, no doubt,-dreaming
.of Uitnnr’s buckshot war; but that is all. over, and
tho rc6e/B__w.ho.disobeyed the orders of the “com
mander in chief,” have been pardoned/by the
highest power. Some of these watchful guardians
of tho public weal, fancy that they'already behold
the chieftain mounted on his Arabiancharger, with
his gold laced uniform mid long white plume,
“and gold topped sword with glittering blade/’
.“dealing out orders to captains of fifties and cap
tains' ol'hundrods;” and then they hear, floating on
the breeze; “the deep and sonorous thunder of a
thousand cannons,” Be not alarmed, fellow citi
zens, at all this bombastic pomp and parado of the
federal press. The suggestions of the Secretary
of War, arc neither wild,now, nor extravagant; but
merely for thelmprovemcnt of the condition of the
militia, the farmers and mechanics; tlie bulwark of
the nation. Instead of compelling them to pay a
fine or attend muster under present regulations, he
proposes.furnishing every man with'-a gun, and
paying them.for training a few days each year.—
Would it not be better tp distribute a little of the
public-money among the people, in this wajvthun
to place it in the hands of rotten banksand dishon
est rascals to run off’to Europe wit hi Woleavo
it’td the people to' sayr’' But^tnis“'pl^tf J bas‘beeh
Merely suggested by the Secretary of War—be not
alarmed, The’democratic party
have neucr beeii'in favor of'a standing army, nor
never will he,'unless the hodor, safely and welfare
L bf opj&coiintry make it necessary for,their protec
tion.” s '
' One who did.not know better—* too
that the rascals lie. from the bottom of their hearts,
when they charge such a dpsign upon tho Demo
cratic party—would be led to conclude, from the
noise the Federalists make upon the subject, that
limy are really note, and ever have 6ccn, opposed to
a standing army* • When every body, who is ac
quainted with iho history of the country, knows
full well that tho converse of tho proposition is
trig; to ’the letter.
Look at the administration of the elder Adams
—was he ho't in favor of it, and was not the army
greatly augmontcdtmder his “Reign of Terror?”
And look also at tho administration of Joseph Rit
ncr in our Ow-n State—was he not in favor of an
army, so far as the Governor of a State could be,
and did he not epcainp a.thousand soldiers at the
Capitol to shoot down tho free citizens of Penn
sylvania! These are facts well known tomostof
our readers. But bow does Gen. Harrison stand
in relation to .this matter? While ho yvas 'a Dele
gate in Congress from tho North Western Terri
tory, during the ad ministration of John Adams,.the
question of reducing'lhe standing army came up
before that body. Ho was not entitled to a vote
on the ‘occasion; hut .he made a speech in which he
contended, most earnestly.for-, retaining the whole
amount of the army, and maintained that no other
force than that of a standing army, always main
tained, .could bo a safe dependence for the defence
of tho country.
These are facts, which the mass-of .the people
know to ' tn/ I *'® Federalists pro less,
a holy horror at ..... -idea—.only existing in
their phrensied imaginations— of ii “'standing ar
>ny” of militia men, tho -very bono and sinew of
the people themselves! ‘ Out upon such hypocrisy.
A gentleman at Jersey .Shore, in this'State, lias
recently letlor from a brother residing in
Michigan, in which it is stated that Governor IJa
vid li. Portdr, not long since- addressed a letter, to
a relative <>f his living in that State, confessing that
the state of Pennsylvania twia toil to Pun Jluren !
arid estimating Hafrisdri’s’riiajority at about ' ten

copy the above false arid unfounded
paragraph from the last week’s Carlisle Herald, to
let our readers see the vile and disgraceful mearis
resorted to by the opposition press io bolster up
thoir-rotten and sinking cause. - -The above charge
against Governor,Porter, is based,’we understand,
upon information derived' from some itinerant
blackguard Harrisoneleetioneerer, who visited this
place the day before tho Herald appeared,'end was
evi.denlly intended to injure the Governor as well.
as'Mr, Van Bnrem - Such are tho miserable shifts
the federalists resort to, to manufacture political
capital for their “mockdiero 1” ■ '
But to the charge; WV have positive informs l

himself— -that the paragraph of tho

That he lias not written a line or letter, of any kind,

ON THE WRONG TRACK AGAIN!
“ Thai Legislature at its teccnt session voted tho
I members pay during tliOTecess—or.rather refused
l to resend the nil o-which allows-thjim *pay daring
| : anadjoutnmcnt—such (<k instance, ; a's Mieir.ltw'6
! weeks holiday adjounttrfctit formerly under the old
constitution* . This was manifestly wrong, and wo
do hopolhat each member who voted for the pay
ma£ gcVhberty.firom hia;.ton3tiiuents to remain at
homo during.his-Mnatural life.**' Hut we'would
not now advert to,tho fact, seeing our own mem
bers voted against the pay, wore It not for the at
tempt that is being made by tho Federal prints to
charge the obloquy of the measure upon the demo
crats, And in so doing, wo copy the following
from the Keystone, which effectually exposes the.
hypocrisy and rascality of an unprincipled oppo
sition: ..' , x •
' “On the ,10th inst.—two days prior.to the ad
journment of the legislature—-Mr. of
Cumberland, (democrat,) offered iff the house of
representatives, a resolution to the effect, .thatdVAe'
mehibti'B DO receive iheir . daily pay during,
the period not in session. Wo were
present in the house when tho resolution was dis
cussed. The federal members strenuously oppo
-scd_tho-addption-of-Mr.-AlclCinuoy-&-reBoluUon r
and contended for tho opposite principle as being
more consonant with justice. Messrs. Brodhend,
Snowdon, McKinney and other democrats, advoca
ted its adoption warmly, and replied to tho argu
ments of .the federal members, Every possible
•effort was employed by the federal members to
escape a direct vote upon the resolution, and give
it its quietus silently, but in vain.
On the final vote upon the resolution, the yeas
were 30—only TWO federalists, Messrs. Sprott
and Washabaugh voting for it. The nays were
42—TWENTY FEDERAL MEMBERS VO
TING AGAINST IT. '
Cut this is tho'subsequcnlclay, Mr.
CRABS, a federal member of the city, who.during
the entire session yvas onrof 'tho lotfdest sticklers
for economy, introduced a resolution, in its phrase
ology and effect tire contrary.tb tho one, previously
offered by Mr.-McKinney, which tho federalists
had VOTED DOWN. His (Crabb’s) resolution
declared, “that tht member* 3)0 IIJUJEIFIH their
daily pay during the recsss, and the lawful mileage
going to arid returnii/g from .homo.” The resolu
tion was warmly defended by Messrs. Crabb,
Smith and other federal members, and strenuously
opposed by Messrs. C’rodhead, Snowden and other
democrats. Tho yeas and nays \yero demanded by
Messrs. Hartshorne and Balloy, (both democrats)
and were as follows;
Yeas (Jut the extra payJ 37, among whom w.ero
the following'FlFTEEN federal
Messrs ALBRIGHT, CRABB, FISHER,FORD,
GRATZ, HIGGINS, (Huntingdon,) HERR,
HINCHMAN, KAUFFMAN, KINZLE, Mc-
CLURE," PENNIMAN,- (Allegheny) SMITH,
WATTS and EEILIN. v
Nays'3o—only ciio federal member, Mr. Dar
sie, voting against receiving extra pay. .
Hero again We find that FIFTEEN federal
members voted for the resolution, which their
newspapers now characterize as. “PLUNDER;”,
and but a single-ONE against it.. Of .the thirty
five members, who voted against it, THXRTY
FOUIi are dunce ratal. I _ ■
To-the above, from the Keystone, we add the
ybas and nayatn full on Mr. Grubb’s resolution: •
. ~Yeas’—-Messrs. T Jllbright, , Bah,tow,. Bymsall,
Bruner, Church, Colt, Cox, Crahb, Evans," Field,
Fisher , Firtf, George, Gralz, Griffin,, Griffiths,
Hegins, (Norlhd.) Biggins,, Hclfenstein, Herr ,

Kinstry,Nill, Park, Roberts, Schooner, Snodgrass,
Snowden, Snyder, Shekel, Strchecker, Wilson,
ZIMMERMAN, Hopkins, Speaker—3s.
We have italicised the Federal members in the
above list of the yeas and nays—from which our
readers can perceive that out of the 37 members
who voted for the pay, all the federalists present
save one, (Mr. Darsie) voted for the resolution
And on-llio other hand, THIRTY FOUR of the
57 democratic members present voted against it—
In the Senate all the Federal members were in fa
vor of receiving pay during tho recess. >
From the above expose, our readers can see at
a glance, tvho is most to blame in this matter,-and
what little ground the'opposition press have for'
charging tho odious resolution upon the Democratic
majority. If but a .email minority of oven three of
tho Federal members had joined with the majority
of the Democratic members, tho resolution would
have beon.defoated—but this they were not pa
triotic enough to do, although they make a groat
butcry about extravagahee, &cf 1 ■.
\Ve learn, fu;ther from the Keystone, that a
number cf tlio OcnvicraUc members, in both houses,
positively DECLINED' receiving the extra-,pay
from the State Treasury—butmot a single Federal
member furnished sucli an example of disinterested
ness. And yet those federal members are at tho
head of a party whose organs are abusing tho
Democrats for the passage of the resolution, and
endeavoring to make political Capital out of it for
the next Presidential election! Out upon such
vjllainous hypocrisy.' ■ ,
. iCf'The federalists are blowing q^lR just
ify about a Harrison meeting recently bold

to give character to’lhc affair, by letting the
people know that a son of Gen. Wayne pre

M. alius, “Tim Buckeye Beach:-
saiTUi”'formerly resiled in our county, in
rather'a remote part ofit, and was not known
as a great man here.
The only-notoriety we have of him in (hi,
place, is that in the year 1836, there was an
indictmcnt‘found against him by the Grand
Jury of our county, for keeping a gaining
device; and that a writ was issued for his
body, and hc'was"arrested by the Sherilf,
and failing to give security in the sum of one
hundred dollaisfor Ids.appearance at Court,
was committed to-the Jail of Muskingum.
County, until Court. , ' , •
This took placeiu the fall of ISSfiffl'mi at
the tipac of the last Presidential cleclion,he
was laying in Jail on this charge,'and by
that means had not the opportunity of Voting
for Ids candidate, Gen. Harrison, as none of
his brother Whigs had confidence in him to
bail him, out. ’ . i ’
There is another trait in Ids character (hat
has come under iny knowledge. It is tins: 1
while a resident ot Salt Crcek.Tuwnship, in.
this county, he was elected tfS Constable foe
one year, and before two months had expi
red he decamped, leaving-his securities to
pay some 675 or SIOQ for him. This is the
way he figured in our county, and nut as an
orator. . ’ . r ’
If, 1 had lime to write to some of the peo
ple of Blue Ilotk’, Blush Creek ami Salt
Creek township's of this county, 1 have no
doubt-Jiut; he i might- be-delineated in-liis
propct character, and much more exhibited
to view than the above, but. as I have neither
time nor inclination to pry into the .charac
ter of such a Tnan die übiiyo 'must'suffice.

Meeting at. Columbus: he got on the stump
and made it speech, and it was- talked over
among them (die wliigs) ; tu have him visit uk
