Weilr—we have seen that it is.an organization j of the militia that Mr. Van Buren. recommends. — i ; Aye —‘Anil it is said, that tlicuplan of organizing tlic militia, recommended in the report of the Sec? rotary of War, Mr. Poinsett, would make them in the hands of the President equivalent to a standing «rmy., Let that bo granted for the sake of nrgu , ment—-anil -still the objections < como > with a had , j grace from tho Federalists, who* supported the pretensions of the elder Adams for a real standing nrmy, to enforce his odious alien and-sedition law-e, and deprive the citizens of this republic of their f inherent and unalienalile rights. And those ob-. jeetrons come with a still worse grace from the present supporters of Harrison;—who has changed no opinion according to his own declarations; and who formerly supported the Federal administration of old John Adams, his alien and sedition laws, and, especially, his pretensions J'ur. a Standing who has since as a member of Con* gress, made a report in fdvorof .the better organir zation of the militia; infinitely wort objectionable than the one reummended by Mr. Poinsett, . . - Mr..Poinsett's report although good ip its gen* efal intention, is no doubt objectionable.in.its. tails, as it provides.for a more thorough organiza tion of the militia than is consonant with an un warlike people, and aims at too high a-degreo of perfection in that organization. : But, -whatever may bo tlie m6rits,or-deaierlt3--oP:Mr.--PoinsetUs -1 plan, one thing is certain,.and that is, that it never received the approbation of the President, or of the ; party in Congress.

Wednesday last Ijluo lights were again ex hibited by the Herald of this place, the began of the “Peace-party Hartford ConVcrilionists” during the war. Tho same party who declared in a re solve of the Massachusetts Legislature, that “it was unbecoming in a moral and’religious people to exult oyer the success of the American arms.”- The blue lights of the Herald are notv hung out to deegivo the' honest portion of the community who nobly stood by’their country during the late War. ' That paper publishes a proclamation of Janies, Zomierlortand-JTiV/iam-Tiiioisc.ypburgL'ascUorCar lisle, authorising an illumination of the town on account of tljb victory achieved.at the Thames in 1813, where Gent Harrison was commander, and thinks this testimony strong in his favor. Now it is; all'.'very' true that General Lairiborton and. the late Mr. Ramsey did, as burgesses of the town, make such a proclamation, and it is true also that they were prominent and active, members of tho ..Democratic party, but we deny that the illumina tion was fur Gen. Harrison —no such a thing, it was for tho success of the American arms, and the proclamation sifys expressly that it was on ac count of the victory ‘achievedby Jhe.American Jinny ‘‘commanded bv Gen. Harrison.’* It might as well.hero said “commanded by Mr. Madison,” for ho was in fact Commander in Chief, y aml as much'rn the battle'nearly, as Gen. Harrison who left all tho fighting to be done by Col. Richard M. Johnson. 'Phis proclamation then of two active and patriotic democrats, is mow held mpas an evi dence'of the transcendent merits of Gen.‘Harrison. Let us see how ; tho matter stands. . ' In 1813 Gen. Harrison commanded l on tho Western frontier, and possessed bat little of tho confidence either of the soldiers of his army or the peoplegenerally. Indeed such was iris vascillatlng conduct, and pusillanimity in retreating from post »p post, and burning his provisions,- that a second Hull's surrender was anticipated by, many. Hit army.howevcr did gain Tho battle of tho Thames, and Carlisle was illuminated Upon the occasion, ps asserted by the Herald. But who illuminated -and who bid not?'. Let .us see' gentle reader.— The. Cumberland Register, in giving an account of. tho celebration, says:—“bells Were rung and tho public buildings brilliantly illuminated, to igether with every house and College in iho bor ough, with only a few exceptions—the names so ■ excepting are no doubt iahen liolice of, and, in all probability, will be preserved in the archives if the dry ddida if Cumberland county !" Who now think you'hnng their hons.es in sack cloth, qj»3.shrunk into darkness and obscurity at the time of tho patriotic'rejoicing? Why the very, same men of the old Tcdcral parly who'at this late .day arrogate to themselves the name of Democrats! Janies Duncan the leader of tho Federal party re fused to illuminate and kept his house in darkness the. Blame’s—the Posthlethwaitcs—-and others of the Federal party did the same—and now forsooth, these Anti-Illuminating Peace Party Hartford Gonvcnlionists parade James Lambertori and Wm. Ramsey before the’public as vouchees for Gen. FTalrrison—James‘Laniberton and - Willlain Ramsey whom they have always in thoir hearts bitterly cursed!' Where arc the men who opposed the late .war? -Where is Daniel IVebsler their leader? Why do they not cal! upon, him arfdSqlsloilstall of Hartford Convention memory, to inform us what they thought of the Battle of the Thames* It is truly ridiculous thus for tho old Peace Parly Herald and its federal allies' the Biddles, the Pen rosos, tho Walts,’ &c. &c. to talk at this late day about Gen. Harrison and the last war. Gen. Jas. Lambcrton is now opposed to Harrison, and Wm. Ramsey, were lie living, would beyond doubt bo also opposed to tills Fcdwaj.candidatc. ' Bat wo have oilier and stronger testimony a. gainst tlfo Federalists in this matter.. We have the facts of tlio caso from tho lips*of the real Hero of the Thames, the veteran and gallant Richard M. Johnson, himself, who fought and gained the battle at the head of his own brave regiment.— The GoK was recently called. opqn'to .address; a meeting of 'citizeno“la f f Ohio, at Chillicqthe, and, having been repeatedly called upon by some Fed eralists present tospeah of the battle of the Thames-, he'finally complied with their ■ request. After having stated the number of the British and Indi ans, and the position of the hostile armies; he said, “It was first intended by Gen.' Harrison that the infantry nndej his command should bo brqughtup and the enemy fought by mir troops in the line.— But he (Col. J.) having practised his regiment to servo on horseback—hayingfregftemly dismounted one-half of them and fought slmm.hattles for that purpose, and believing that he could successfully overthrow the cnemy by % charge of his mounted men, requested permission lb make such charge; which having obtained, he left Gen. Hariison and proceeded to tho front where his regiment awaited, him.” Here it will he seen, that so far from,Gem, Harrison.Jiaving-any.thing to do with giuning-tho victory,-as the Herald would fain make people be lieve, the attack was planned by Col. Johnson -himself, and carried into effect bylimri~ATi3'wluit further does the; old Col. sayl He says that he ‘‘he never.sate Gen. Harrison afterwards until the battle was ovlr, wkcnhe (the Gen’j) camefp where fe(Johnson) was lying, ai.fhe'place, to which his soldiers had carried him after he was mounded. I ’ This does not look; much; Hire, Gen. Harrison’s haying been engaged in the fight, as tiis advocates , have so.strongly asserted. But there is yet stronger evidence tbaiigeven this to.provo'that .fie was out ■of danger auripg (he battle. , “After the battle was oyer,” says Col. Johnson; “my brother Jamea.cx pressod hie sorrow that he eonld noteomb 'more speedily; relief, and stated that ft was in consequence-iphis having to take his prisoners the distance of A„ MILE ,.tq give them to Pen: Harrison, the cmnmanJing officer."

" Dreadful Calamity in Altany. An extra from the Albany Evening Jour nal, dated Saturday evening, at 8 o’clock, furnishes us with'the following account of a disastrous casualty in that City on Satur day afternoon: , “Our city is the scene' of a most distress ing and calamitous dispensation. At 5 o’clock this afternoon, just as the steamboats were departing for Now York, and. when hundreds of people were crossing the bridge' over the canal' basin', the draw broke and precipitated from seventy-fo eighty persons, and three or four horses and carts into the basin. They fell about- twenty feet into twelve feet water. The struggle for life among the sufferers was brief but awful. Wc shudder at the horrid recollection of it. liuudrgilg of citizens, with a dozen boats, ■sprang to the relief^ of their drowding fellow citizens.- ... ' . This drcailful loss of life was occasioned by the.refracfory conduct of an insane man who was refusing to go. with Ids .keeper. His resistance drew a crowd which blocked up .the passage, until the mass of people and carts became too heavy for the draw. Offi cer Ilimiutiijthc moment the draw gave way was endeavoring to disperse the crowd, r Up td Sunday morning at G o’clock, 35 bodies found. . Mr. Dwight; now the'leading Harrison' editor in Connecticut,, was Secretary of the Hartford Convention. ' On the 7th March, 1814, Mr. Dwight,expressed the wish that Harrison might be cashiered.
