‘Truly liuve, the Democrats of
Philadelphia:'city and county
covered themselves all oyer
with glory!
A* ‘lie election yesterday,,the Democracy of
Fmladelpma again proved tliemselves worthy of
the character which has so long- been accorded to
thorn. ■ They have once more shewn that they are
inflexibly lri;e to tho great principles Tor which
thsy have so often contended and: triumphed.—
Another victory Is added to the long list of sue
cesses which marks their career, and they have
demonstrated in a manner not easily to be forgot*
ten, that with “a fair held and no favor,’* it is
folly for.tlieir-opponcnts even to dream of other re
sults than such as have now occurred. The Dem
ocrats of the county are not to be defeated they
may ho defrauded of their rights—hut Federalism
cannot overthrow them', They have the true spirit
which increases in zeal and efficiency in just pro
portion the confidence , and efforts of their eno
mids. Fiiey are not to be dismayed by panics or
oajoled by flatteries, but are equally firm whether
they “who would delude them,” come with storms
or with sunshine—with the terrors of‘the screws,’
or with childish pageants, log cabins and cider
barrels. After the rout of yesterday. Federal
Wlnggciy must abandon all hope in Philadelphia
County, for it was never more perfectly organised,
more lavishly furnished with means, or with more
circumstances in their favor. Some idea, there
fore, may be formed of the credit that isduo to our
county friends, when it is -mentioned that they
have succeeded by an AVERAGE MAJORITY.
OP THIRTY-THREE HUNDRED!! -They
deserve for this the hearty plaudits of the Democ
racy-of the Union. There is.no point which-the
Harrisonites .were more anxious'to carry*—none
upon which they concentrated more of their force,
than upon the County of Philadelphia.
. It will b<r seen, from the subjoined, that in the
First District, CHARLES BROWN has been
triumphantly elected to Congress by the flattering
majority, of BETWEEN FOURTEEN AND
FIFTEEN HUNDRED! ! No man better de
served such a mark of popplar favor. His ability,
fearlessness, apd energy in the cause of Democrat
ic principles, rqnder. him, peculiarly worthy to rep
resent in the councils of the nation .aconstituency
who have so w.ellpfpved that they also are beyond
the roach of all the influences which the opponents
of equal rights can bring into the field. .
Itis.wiih no-little pride : ahd satisfaction-that
oveiy democrat will reter to the result in the Third
District, so celebratecTm the political annals of the
country. In accordance with our predictions and
in confirmation of all that has been, alleged in ref
erence to the foul play twice practised ihcre, to
vitiate tlip decision of the ballot box,-and to set at
defiance the will of the people, it will be seen that
CHARLES J. INGERSOLL has been elected to
Congress by’the overwhelming, majority of SEV
EN IEEN HUNDRED ! This District was the
great battle field, l.t-was not alone that our ene
mies feared the commanding abilities' of the Dem
ocratic candidate, though they had much to dread
qn that scoro; for .they_.wcll know lhatiii him they
would have a representative, of sound principles
capable.and.ready to cope, with their stoutest
champions, and-to expose the deceptive pretexts
under which they seek to gain control of the repub
lic. They tremble on another account.
Flie democracy,-satisfied-tliai- they had in two
instances been defrauded when sustainingthe same
nomination, and anxious to prove td'*thcir country
men that their assertions .were true, determined to
render this election the test. They challenged
their opponents to the trial, and for a few short
weeks the. bravado of direct acceptance,of that
challenge was made; but finally,„by throwing
Naylor asidoand. bybringinga now and popular
candidate into the field—-one who had just leftlhe
democratic party, and who, it was'supposed j would
carry .strength vritli him from our ranks, they vainly,
sought toevadd the true issue. Buttheircunning
management utterly, failed—their multiplied slan
ders and-.calumnies against Mr.- Ingersoll—their
largo eontnvances and petty resorts, proved equal
ly impotent. They were compelled -to meet the
question, and the glorious result is before us.
We have carrted'.oiir City and County nomina
tions by amajority of A THOUSAND
which shows the excess of the vote over
City. In 1836 the Federal majority in
tho . Cuy and. qohniy; tia*
Btwnate may b e formed of: thp trulh'of'.tho
assertions abc.ut,great changes-for Harrison In
.this giiafter. v ; ’v'-',*- v
*He City Save;
biy; r tide they‘have not success to bbasi'of
at the present'nioment, they had no expectation of
if, -buton unflinching'. Democratic. vote of nearly.
ogives assurance of-a rapidly- approaching
IriuraplH even in the City of Philadelphia. The
day is near at hand; - , .

.Dear Sin—l Imyejust received your favor
of the 19th, containing certain inquiries as
to the battle of the Thames, 3th of October.
1813, in Canada.
1. The-mounted regiment undermy com
mand, consisted of one thousand men at the
time of the charge.,
• -I’hcy were armed, with muskets and
rifles, and tomahawks or smalljiatchetsmul
butcher Knives.'. T ~ - .
3. The British had one brass field piece,
.(six pounder) the same that was taken by us
in the revolutionary war at Saratoga, and
re-take.n from us at the surrender of Detroit
by General Hull. It was placed in the road
near the Thames, not far from.the centre of
the British line.
4. Thy British formed two lines, resting
on the Thames and running out to a swamp
two_or,three hundred-yards from the river’
.and parallel with.it. - 1
,5. I presume pr6ctpr,was stationed con
siderably in the rear of his troops, and pro
bably commenced hid.flight; the moment he
saw his forces defeated and taken .prisoners.
6.1 think the best ground for defence
was selected.
7 • the militia infantry were stationed n
, reasonable distance in rear of the mounted
i regiment in order ..of battle, say from'one
half to one mile. . My brother; Gol. James
Johnson, charged/the British forces with the
first battaliotyfive hundred. men, and sue-,
cecded without the loss of a man—one horse
killed, shot in the heatir-in advancing, he
received the fire of one line of- the British
aiuKthen.ot the other; and in close succes
sion; the cannonßwaS not fired. , I crossed
the swamp with the second , battalion,j(fiva
hundred men,) and; fought against the In
dians, supposed fourteen hundred warriors,
under Teeumseh, without any aid Whatever.
A regiment was ordered to reintorce me at
theJclose of the battle, but did not reach us
until (he battle was over, and the Indians
* ,a d fled* file official .report) is lhcbrrect in
say'.ng that the hard lighting on the left was
py a part of .Governor Shefby?a , men. ' We
had lioaßsistance,.except What a few scatter
ing volunteers from the infantry who might
have pushed into opr ranks. I was wound
ed and could give bginformation to the com
manding General, and he did not know; iat
tlic time he made his' reports, that I hail
crossed the sWamp- with 'my reginient;, as .
when lie'gave orders; to" take the 1 charge, he
thought from my. information, that 1 could
hbt cross the swamp; Which I discovered I
cguld do a few minutes after he left me, and
believing tlmt'it. was most safe, and that my
i-egunimt was sufficient,'!divided my forces
as stated above, aiid tlio victory on both sides
was complete; hqt no doubt, the instanta
neous capture of the British, and the early ,
death of the- Indian - chief,;-were powerful ij
operating causes in our favor. .. ’’ , ,
I am, &c; ' ' . ■
R. M. JOHNSON* <
:r It is duerto truth to state, that !
requested Gen. Harrison tppermitme to'
charge, and knowing that I had trained my
■men for it during our short service, he gave
the order..

many of the’ federal 'presses, that
tf ? should bo assumed
into effect, foreign capitalists,would pocket
|at least forty millions of dollars by the ad
f vance, and nts but natural’to believe that
they would not hesitate todo-what is char
ged against them—to. subscribe large sums
to promote thii success of,Hairisouisni, who
Would be their .willing tool. Many letters,
Irom republicans abroad confirm the suspi
cion, and intimale the existence of an
“American Whig Fund?’., among the jobbers
?fd brokers of London;' Which aids innirtiisli
l mg oiir opponents here with the lavish means
j used by them in warring against democracy!
From the Liverpool Standard, Sept. 4, 1840.
“Ai present Great Britain exercises-a.
powerful ipflucncp Over the social, political
and fiscal affairs; of the United States.... The .
dependence of the planter, in the South, and
the eotrinefcial men in the North, upon, the;
British superinduces a
desire for peace on their part, while it gives
th is country a large amount of.control ovec
the public decisions of those bodies, Thu,
ultra Republicans of the States do not relish
this 'Control. They see that it interposes a
barrier ngainst the wording out of their dem
ocratical doctrines.”
More might be added,-but is not tins con
clusive as to the existence of this threat
money conspiracy, and of .the diCect.'co-op
eratiim of Itritisfi and-American whigs, both
sides of the water, in ,|) 0 elections? No
wotnjer, then, that we see these immense,
gatherings and lavish expenditures. Tim
whole brokerage money power of Europe,
and America ;is stirred in favor of tho
election of Harrison, and the Democracy
are to be put down, in order that stocksjnav
bo jiut up! ;hll v oVersrha r
Union, look at this matter well before it -is
too later — -
Remember what the.incorruptible Jeffer
son said of this conspiricy of the money !
power, and see if his fears are not
your consideration. If Gen. Harrison can
be elected by ßritish Influence and British
money. Jcfler,on’s prophacy’will speedily
be fulfilled! Look tq its. ;
“The Federalists of onr time.(said
fersoh) look to a single, and splendid gov
ernment of ah aristocracy, founded on bank*
tng institutions and moneyed corporations ,
riding and ruling over the plundered plough
man and beggared yeomanry. This will be
to them a next blessing to the monarchy of
their first aim, and perhaps,, the surest step
ping stone to it, .
‘‘l see nothing In dus but general demora*

dustry its libbcst earning*, wherewith to
build up palaces and 1 raise gambling slocks
for swindlers and shavers! who are to closo

ruptciea.”— Thomas Jefferson.
The wonderful sagacity of Thomas. J v ef*
ferson was never shown more clearly than | n
the above extract. His aniticipationshavo
been fully readied. A more correct des
cription of the federal party of the' present
day could not now be written; even by those
who have witnessed and studied its op'era
tions. The task is loft for the republicans
of 1840 to defeat the combination of British
stock-jobbers with the federal party in its
present shape.— Pennsylvanian.
THE WAY TO NAIL A WHIG LIE
TO THE COUNTER.
All recollect the 'infamous falsehood cii
culated by. the Whig' presses in relation to
Judge Tappan and the subject-of wages.—
When we published a letter of his on the
subject, we'stated, that this:, Democraticr
Senator hada'way of lds own in nieeting bis
opponents. How he uses' Ins weaponsni'ay --
be seemby the following ' icport. of a speech
made by him at Woostfer (O.) dri the Stliinab; {
■ "He scattered-to- the winds the Federal,
charges against the Democratic party of
■being in favor of’-low wages ap'd reduced,
prices; and when he,came to the manybasb
falsehoods whjch had been heaped Up against ;
himself fay the bank minions, his denuncia
tion.df their baseness was most withering,— i
Among other things he chanced to allude to
a publication made by a certain individual,
pretending to detail a private Conversation of
Judge Tappan’s own table, where, that indU
Vidua) hadbecninvited by NWgeT.in which:■
he is represented as having declared himself
in favor.of bringing wages down to iaf cents
per day, and wheat to 16 cents per bushel.
He had no sooner touched upon the pubjaat
and_ was quietly proceeding to nail thatdie
jto the counter, when up jumps Gen. Harri
son’s most valiant General. Rezin Beall, the -
Hero of Maumee,’’and .cries.out, "give us
f. e ? a,ne * h atp ers oii—• name hiin~uflnie

cing eyes upon his slanderer and answered
in a voice of thunder, "That man was Rezin
