DUE CURRENCY fen THE RICH, AND ANOTHER Itm THE POOR. A law of Indiana, approved by General William Henry Hartison, on the 7lh September, 1807, con tains the following provision, viz: “Section 2. In all cases of penal laws, where, free persons are punishable by lines, servants shall be punished by whipping after the rate of twenty, lashes for every eight dollars, Bo that no shalf receive more, than forty, lashes at any one timef unless such offender can procure some per son to pay the fine,!’ - “Servants," under the Harrison proconsulate, meant nil persons,Jblaclt or white, bound to Service by agreement or purchase, according to tho pecu liar, laws of the Territory.Thie provision was applicable to emigrants, or others who might have agreed to serve for a term of years, and toymen sold to pay fines and costs. Hero, therefore, we have DOLLARS as the cur rency for the rick man, and LASH ES as the cur rency for the poor. Even the value of the lash is defined by Harrison law: 1 “TWENTY ■■ Lashes for eight dollars," equal to FORTY CENTS A LASH. Be it known, therefore, that in the tables of Harrison currency ONE LASH is equal to FORTY CENTS; and ONE DOLLAR is equal to TWO LASHES AND A HALF! Fobty cents of the RICH MAN'S MONEY is equal to .ONE HASH on the POOR MAN’S„BACK! , f Say, poor men, how do you relish this currency? What do you think of the stateamnniwhose feelings would permit him to take,payment out op men’s backs at forty cents a lash? Is there not some thing inexpressibly abhorrent in thus balancing MONr.Y AOAINST LASHES? 5 .. -• It must be recollected, that there could not law fully he any slates in Indiana, so called. These lashes were for freemen's backs—freemen who were bound to.aerviee only for a. time.—Globe.- Harrison anti Militia Organization.—lfany thing were requircd to allow the downright hypocrisy of the outcries of llie Federal journals against Mr. Van Duron, bocaliSo Mr, Poihselt broiiglit forward - a project of militia organization, it will he found in the subjoined letter of Harrison himself to Gen.

The letter maybe found at,length in Dawson’s Life of Har rison, and it denounces all objections to his plan' ias the fruit of “ignorance, obstinacy, and deep- I rooted prejudice.” It is likewise known that Har | rison, when in Congress, reported in favor of train ing the militia as suggested below, atld yet the Harrisonites have the brazen hardihood to de nounce Mr. Van Buren for Mr. Poinsett's ideas, when their own candidate, Harrison, is in favor of a military plan of a worse kind,..and would have taxed tire people to carry it out! But the whole system of Federal electioneering ia just of this de scription, and is made up of humbug, deception and misrepresentation.
