This was the re-melting of pig metal, in an air fur-

at least two and a 'militants would be required to

Glorious old rarginia.—Nine gentlemen who
were on the Van Buren electoral ticket in 1836,
have now declared themselves in favor of Gen. Har
rison.
Good news for Office Holdcra,—Mr. Benton re
cently pre.sented a report from-the Master of the Mints
in England, showing how much bullion bad -been
coined torn number of years past. , His purpose was
to i let it be known that there Was really more specie in
the world than had been imagined.
Perhaps he will next astonish us by showing that
there is really less distress to the country- than is
generally imagined.
Turning the Tables.—The editor of the Petersburg
Intolligencer, finds it unnecessary to write editorials
on thy merits of Gen. Harrises, die uses the former
praises of those who are now pensioned to slander
him. Thus, for instance he quotesi from the Rich
mond Enquirer. of February 6th, 1817, the follow
ing eulogy. It can hardly be credited that the same
hand which penned it, should now be engagedin put
ting forth the most monstrous libels on the integrity.
patinetism, end courage of the old veteran—but hear
the spestate• Ritchie; old files argi l trnpleassmt
things to refer to, and the Enquirer's opinions like
women and musick, should not be dated.
It is scarcely necessary for us to repeat the warm
sentiments of respect which we entertain for Gen.
William Henry Harrison. During the late War
wir.have frequently borne our humble testimony to
the gallant hero of the sirnries of the 'North West.
An envious cloud, however, gathered around his head
which is now finally and forever dispersed. Toe re
port of the committee. whose inve3tigation den. H.
himself demanded, is conclusive upon this subject."

break down the rotten administration of Martin Van

denounced the god , father of the Sub•TreasOry
scheme, but the sly stabs he recieves at its hands ire
given with gladiatorial skill. For instance, in the
last number, thi: following cutting rebuke is offered
to that part of the President's recent message, which
refers to the scib treasury being in operation in 22
foreign countries, whicla coupled with the fact, that
the old federal Buchanan and Senator Walker, ad

The and Districf Case.--The son and heir of Mr. In.
gesso), has become quite a prominent character in this
contr.versy. He took umbrage at some plain truths
published by Mr. Naylor, and as the shoe pinched him,
tried to get ups duel, but before the matter came to ex.
tremes, he published the correspondence lathe papeis.
and consequently' caused himself and Mr. Naylor to be
arrested: tied upl Mr. Naylor's hands. and thin chal.
lenged hint to fight. Col. Pleasanton. was young Inger
soll's friend; and tieing personally impudent to Mr. ,
Naylor, was eseted from the house, with very little
ceremony. Counter statements, of course. have been
made but the lasitizer,a pretended neutral; but a Van Bu
ren papei, states the following, a Inch is quite conclusive :
-• We said yesterday; that if Mr, Naylorcontd not alter
the statement of facts made by 'Mr. Pleasonton, he could
not exculpate hitnself. Ile, has made that alteration.
and brie in per eirinio3l completely vindicated himself
from censure. "
In connection with this case.we may state that Mr.
Gill; whose absence from the city was handled so adieit.
ly by the locos. and who was in this Borough on ;trate
business. returnid home•and requested Mr. Intend to
examine him, but, was told he was hitt wanted ; and all
the monstrous frauds charged upon the friend*: of Mr.
Naylor. appear to be nothing more than a hoax, played
off upon them by, a waggish friend of Mr. Naylor. There
has not during ,e whole proceedings been one shadow
of evidence, to sitbstanttate the Claim of Mr. Ingersol to
Mr. Naylor's seat,,and thiworthy working min's friend
will come out from the contest wreathed with victory .
and crowneo with increased honor.

The editor of the old Dominion , speaks thus freely
of Senator buds:tenant the language is not to .be
mistaken t 1
;.The late position assumed by Mr. Buck:num
and Mr. Grundy, upon the subject of paper money,
has afford*, the leaders of the opposition another op
portunity of preaching about inconsistency between
our profession rni practice. Mr. Clay chuckled with
great apparent satisfaction over the circumstance that
the leaders of e Administration party bad taken back
their optnions,l re-canted their principles. Mr. Cal
houn promptlY met the charge by declaring that-he
had taken back nothing; that he should stand by his
principles in regard to the banks, if every one upon.
the floor of the Senate ehoud leave him to do battle
alone. Mr. Broom, of North Caroliira, TOLD MR.

Twenty-six years ego lard autumn,r(said it gee:

not a few of hereon. were in the army surrendered
by Hull, besides numbers of her brave fellows were
massacred and scalped at Winchester'S end Dudley's
defeat—still the after.eall of Gen. Harrison for more
soldiers was answered by large numbers of Pennsyl.
Iranians including several from our village.. The de
parture of these brave fellows from their families and
friends was then viewed as a voluntary sacrifice Of
life for the defence of their country, and the 'Wawa,
God bless ye, was uttered in a tone-and feeling, that
sank deep into the heart of the by.etandets, which
will never be effaced from my memory.
In these days our mails were few 1 and uncertain,
and it was 'only! the passing ar.d rern:mg of a sick
or disabled soldier returning - home, that we heard
frona one army. I Time hung heavy and a deep gloom,
overspread our Country-the last news was, a battle
is expected between the American Army under Gen,
Harrison, and Ithe British and Indians under .the •
blood 'thirsty Proctor and Tecumseh. Days and
week's passed by, and yet nothing was heard from oar ,
Airny— our cinzeits hailed ell strangers from the .
West, with the anxious Inquiry of "any news from
General Harrison," and such was the delay, doubt ,
and uncertainty, that - it Was generally feared, and
generally believed that Harrison and his army, blid
like those before him, been defeated arid massacred.
