The reooPeuing of this spacious and delightful

era in our end of the Borough. Every thing has
been arranged iri such a manner as will best conduce

We some time ago published an account of
Gen. Harrison presenting to a Methodist preacher

Conference, from .the Mississippi Conference, and
vouches to the truth of the statement.—Bulf. But.
This circumstance was denied by the Van Buren
,press; but alas thus been.triumphantly sustained,
by the gentleman to whom the service was•rendered.
(ley According to a detailed statement in the Bos
ton Atlas, the Harrison majority in Virginia at the,
recent election, was 10.439.
And yet the Richmond Enquirer is clinging to the
delusive hope, that the Old Dominion will return to

The Globe praises Post Master General Niles
for his services 'wben a Senator, and speaks -of his
eloquence! Well, he may be eloquent, but it is like
a stuttering man's comparison to a pepper bos on a

Contempt for the Peep/4' according to Amos
Kendall, is a leading feature of political warfare. In
illustration of his position we quote from the Evening
Post. the leading loco paper at New York, which, in
describing a Harrison meeting recently held in
Poughkeepsie, says:
In the afternoon, he addressed the RABBLE at
the Village Halt, in the usual , manner of all whig
orators."
The meeting in question war composed principal
ly of working men—and let it be remembered that
the Evening Post, when under the direction of Wil
liam Coleman, Was a violent federal anti-war
and without having ever publicly changed single
political principle, or abjured the "sin of that federal•
t ici
ism," is now a Van Buren organ ! This pa er near
30 years ago, co-operated with Van Buren in \
is sup
port of Rufus King, and his opposition to the em
erotic successor of Jefferson; and yet they talk of the
Harrison party showing contempt for the people!
Nonsense! they would grind the people even as the
taskmasters of g g ypt did the ancient Hebrews. and
brine them down to the condition of serfs and slaves.
Dare they hatch up an infamous slander that Bar
rison voted to sell white men into slavery, when
Senator Tappan, of Ohio, one of those low wages,
people loving" brawlers, holds such language es
Ibis:
"The price of labor is entirely too high. The
laborer in this country can afford.to wor k
r for eleven
pence a day, and the hard money system will bring
down the wages to that sum—wheat also will come
down to sixteen cents a. bushel, and every thing else
in liroportion. This is the best tarif f you can have,
aml th. ouly uuc that ..411 °name ors manufactdrers
to compete with' England. The sub -treasury will
effect both objects—it will put down the banks, and
bring wages and every thing else down."
And bear also what that notorious radical brawler
for Van Buren, Dr. Duncan. also of Ohio, says;
What if there is panic and distress in the coun
try ? Has Congress power to give relief? What
constitutional authority h..ve we for making this
Capitol a poor house ? And by what constitutional
authority can members of Congress, in their repre
sentative capacity, assume to themselves the office
of overseers of the poor.? Such a use of this• Capitol.
and such a usurpation of office, and such an-exercise
of power. wal never c mtemplated by the framers of
Government; nor is it any where except in the
babbling noise of the demagogue, or in the brain of
the raving political monomaniac."
Now, those of our countrymen, who feel that to
bring wages down is to ruin them, and know that
distress does exist, can fully appreciate bow far the
friendship of Van Buren and his supporters, into be
relied on !
Hon. Abbot Laurence has so far become conva
lescent, that be anticipates a return to 'Washington.
Death of Dr. B. Harrison.—We learn from the
Cincinnati Republican of Thursday, that Dr. Benja
min Harrison. (son of Gen. Harrison) died very sud
denly at the residence of his father, on Tuesday even
ing, the 16th nst. The intelligence. as that paper
remarks, will be a vets great shock to the General, as
the Dr. was in good health when he started to Fort

Slipping through the fingers!—The recent liar

of assembly in Chester county, or by abandoning a
state convention in Illinois? There is no confidence
in the people, they have lost ell in the Executive,

Gen. Harrison is not our choice for the Presidency,
but this is no reason why we should give our co

which have been a hundred times refuted. We may
add that he who could write or endorse the assertion
" that Gen. Harrison was always a coward, always
a foe to-the people, always-rapacious as Verses and

Ventral Van Buren Commit& rebuked by
one of its own Iktembere.—Mr. HA:, editor of the
AmOrirea Sentinel, a man whose honesty has never
yet been questioned by friend or foe, thus speaks of
the Van Bum address in a late number of that pa
per.l.Desperate indeed must be the condition of the
party, when they are constrained to resort to the
prodaulgation of falsehOods so glaring, that even their
owri friends are compelled, by a sense of justice, to
point out' their unfairness and want of 'truth. The
Seidiitel says:
•':We have .consented to publish in today's paper
the Address of the Democratic Central Committee
on t`he ground that it is a document belinging to the
times, and because it emanates from the political
party with which we have usually acted, through
their committee whose names are appended. C.
We owe , . it to truth and conscience however, to
say that we are not to be held as endorters of the
address. We dislike its spirit; and have no hesita
tion in saying that some of its statements of facts
are not supported by evidence.
It is proper also - to. remark, the Dame of Mr.
Hsr appears among the signatures; that he was not
present at his appointment as one; : o the Central
Committee, and never saw the address 71 it appear
ed in the public prints. He does not impute blame
to the committee for using his name, considering the
inconvenience of consulting all the distantin embers
of such a committee. The propriety of omitting his
signature in ow publication of the address to day,
will be obvious after what we have said."

Away ! ye hollow dreams of fame,
Ye'empty breathings of a name;
Once with thee I had a part,
Once I shar'd with thee my heart;—
But now 'tie past—forever more
Thou'rt banisb'd, and thy reign iso'er.
Neither caust thou tempt again.
The -soul that thou haat fill'd with pain ;
Oh ! that I, ere I became thy slave,
Had perisii'd in oblivion's wave.,
-I've dream'd of thee since childhciod'stour,
And cull'd each fancy-tinted flower,—
Worshiped at thy painted throne,
And fondly hoped to make my own
The line's that grace fair hist'ry a page.
The joys of youth, the words of age,
Have each their treasured space, I find,
Within the limits of my mind;
Yet What avails my trivial fame,
When placia beside a greater name ?
Still a low murmur from the blest
In Heaven's peaceful home at rest,—
Would seem to urge me on my way,
Nor waste, indeed, another .lay ;
And a low voice will bid me cheer,
In depth of night—;to persevere ;
And when•earth's sons in sleep repose,
And men forget their deepest woes,
wander forth in night's deep gloom,
To weep and think o'er friendship's tomb.
Fame ! the ebb atid flow tide!
Malice, hatred on thee ride !
And with their brands of blood red glow,
A. type of all that's found below,—
rd rather live on ...not of bread,
Than share with rice a downy bed.
Fame! from thee more ill bath flowed
Than mankind bath ever )et supposed,—
From thee I fly, thou cause-of strife,
Thou waster of frail human life !
Farewell! with thee I meet no more ;
I\•ature'a wonders I henceforth explore ;
And if, perchance. ye ernes my path
With folly's train, at thee I laugh,—
At thee I raise the word of scorn,
And in thy heart a filit'ring' thorn
Shall lie—and round thy wrinkled brow
A weight o iron e'en resteth now,—
Farewt II . and blighted be the name,
That 1 es youth's yoke to lisp for fame!

defection -from the support of the Administration is

State Convention at Springfield, is altrustfoned.
The Van Buren Comp:awe of Vigilance for
Union Township; of Ohio, have stated :
We can no longer eqpport a party whose gOlden
MI
policy is to make the “ rich richer, :and
_the poor
poorer," and whose profrusions for. the deer people
have been ,so ' long and loud, but - . whose :practice
Proves to - na. that they love .6 the !mires and fishes"
More than the people's rights.' For ther4 - aird simi
lar reasons, we cannot supper% Martin Van Buren
for the Presidency, iC the fall of 1840.
this was signed by the twelve members!
We also find a similar resignation, signed by six
members of theµ Van Buren Committee of Vigi
lance" for the town of Colerain, Ohio.
Next follows the azttuscirrioN of FORTY
SEVEN GERMANS, in a small town in Ohio.
Messrs. Thomas and Roman, of the Illinois, and
Mi. Andrew Palmer, of the Michigan legislature, all
leading Loco locos, have boldly come out and re
nounced allegiance to the magician and his neer°.
=way.
Four inhabitsysts of Springfield, who say, 4. We
have always teen democrats of the Jefersonian
school, and still adhere to the same principles.
We voted for Mr. Van Buren at the last Presi
dential election, believing thathe was honest, and
capable of performing the duties of Chief Magistrate
But we find we have been entirely 'mistaken, an re
spect to his democracy, his capacity, and his ho
nesty.
And having investigated the character and claims
of William Henry Harrison, we believe him to be
a brave man, o true patriot, an unwavering democrat,
and the poor man's friend, and we will give him our
cordial and undivided support for the office of Chief
Magistrate.
Fourteen citizens of Urbana, who say that they
were u original supporters of Andrew Jackapn, and
heretofore the supporters of the party now in power,
la i ntly reviewed the acts and principles of
di' administration, and after carefully weighing
ttiem in the balances of reason and truth, feel con
s tamed to say that we can no longer act with a
party, the tendency of whose measures is to destroy
the vital interests of,the people."
They then essign'len substantial reasons why
they shall oppose the reection of Martin Van Bu
ren, and the same number \ why they now expect to
cast their votes for Wm. H.llitTion.
From the Circleville ?Herald, seven, .• heretofore
supporters of -Martin Van Buren," dating from Deer
Creek township, who have resolved to support old
Tip," and let Mi. Van Buren take care•of himself.
Eighteen from New Carlisle, Miami county, who
say, we good and true democrats, and therefore
voting for and supporting the present Administra
tion, but we now find that the promises made by
Martin Van Buren, have been violated: that he has
departed from the true principles of democracy as
laid down by Thomas Jefferson. We have there
fore come to the conclusion that we cannot any
longer give him our suffrage ; but have determined
to support Wm. H. Harrison for the next President,
as the man most likely, in our opinion, to carry out
the true principles of Democracy."
Col. James Taylor. of Newport, Kentucky, one
of the most int3uential supporteqs of Van Buien
at the last election in that State, has taken the
stump in favor of Gen. Harrison.
Gen. Gaines, of the Army, gave the following
toast at New Orleans, recently: —a Believing Wil
liam Henry Harrison will follow the footsteps of
George Washington, I desire that he may be elected
President of the United States"
More Changes:
Since we commenced last week to sum up the.
very many changes train the ortors of loco loco
rederatism to the cause of Harrison. we find they
have increased to such a number that it .would re
quire many impressions of our*. Journal," to contain
the extracts from our exchaege, papers. Of the
three enlivens to Varrliurvnisitt, two are Abulitition
ista, and one a Mail euntrartor. But the following
list of tho-e who have' denouneed,the Sub Treasury
Administration, numbers gentlemen from every grade
of life—Ex-Governors, •U. S. Marshal's. Custom
House Officers, Revolutionary Patriots, Loco Com
mittee of Vigilance men, &c. &c. Let our friends
read them, and see it there is net a mighty and irre
sistable spirit stirring among the people:
The editors of the Tatewell (III.) Reporter. til l
recently neutral in polities, have torn the neutral
banner from their flag-staff, and manfully spread to
the breeze the broad penant of Harrison, Tyler, and
the Constitution.
The editors of the Reporter say, in their address
to the public, that one of them has hitherto been a
Whig and the other a supporter of the administra
tion, but, that they ire now united, hand to hand
and heart to heart, in the cause of old Tippecanoe.
The latest political change which we have seen
noticed, is that of the editor of the Van Buren Re
publican, .publisher .if laws of the United States,
at Morgantown, Viiginia who, unable any longer
to stem the tide of Van Buren'i unpopularity, has
'hoisted the Harrison Flag, to the confusion of the
Administration party, and the joy, of the wings.
George Boone. a Loco candidate for elector in the
second District of Indiana, has bucked out. Reason;
can't defend the Administration on the stump.
Another of the Van Buren Electors in Tennessee'
W. G. Childress. has backed out. Reason—can't
defend the administration. This ig the 4th Van Bu
ren elector that has backed out in Tennessee. We
want-no better siguu than these.
B. F. Burton, Esq. Editor of , the Pulaski (Ten
nessee) Republican, hitherto a warm administration
paper, closes a long article expressing his reasons
fur abandoning it. in these words:—.... Believing the
beat interests of the country require a change of the
principles and policy of •the administration of the
General Government. and that it cannot be successful
ly effected but by a change of men, we shall advocate
the claims . of the distinguished Hera and Statesman
of Ohio, WM. HENRY HARRISON, (or the next
Presidency, and the talented disciple of the school
of Jefferson, JOHN TYLER, of Virginia, for the
Vico Presidency.
A letter appears in the S. W. Virginian,.published
at Lexington, signed by six gentlemen, which says :
We the undersigned, see our mimes on the-Van
Buren committee of vigilance, published in the En
quirer of the 31st of March. We wish, through
the medium of your paper, to disclaim all connection
with 'the party, and to inform Mr. Ritchie and all
others concerned, that we are decidedly in favour o
Gen. Wm. H. Harrison, for President. '
Ex-Lieut. Gov. Kinney, of Illinois,•long and fa..
vourably known as one of the original and devoted
supporters of Gen. Jackson and his administration,
has published in the w Illinois Mercury extra," an
address to the people of Illinois, assigning his rea
son for formally withdrawing himself from a party
which no :longer act upon the Principleadaid down
by .the war-worn veteran of die Hermitage. Me
also expresses his entire confidence in the • ability,
wisdom and integrity ill' Wm A. Harrison; and
avows his determination to use dll fair and honour
able means to serum his electidn. taking this
course the governor denies having -undergone any
change ol• opinion, so far as principle is concerned.
He Charges the party with an entire abandonment
of those great political .tandMarks laid •duwn by
Jackson, and of having stiopted,:in their stead, the
wild, visionary, and undefined Schemes of Martin
Van Buren."

Excitement in Paris.--The Paris papers - of
Wednesday are, to the exclusion of tither matter,
occupied with the debate in the Chamber of Deputies
on the preceding day on the report or the bill for the
removal of the remains of the Emperor Napoleon
from St. Helena to Parts. It will be recollected that
the committee on the bill had recommended that a
sum-of 2,000,000 francs (40,009 I.) be granted to
defray the expenses of the voyage -arid interment,
and that an equestrian statue of Napoleon be erect.

letter before us, •was the result of a cabal got up a.

ministry will be thus raised—a result the Debate
foresees, rails against, and asserts most prove fatal
to the present Chambers of the Deputies. This is
exactly what NI. Thiers wants, and thus the ens.
Imes of the Minister will have divraced themselves,
only to accelerate his great triumph. The mortifi.
cation of the Chamber is not greater than deserved.
The excitement in Paris occasioned by the refusal

Later Paris papers state that M. 'Odalon Barret
