The Ladies Moving thr Old Tip.
We received, yesterday, a copy of the following
Harrison song, written in a very fine, lady-like love
ly hand; and sealed in ti wax only known to pure, in
ocent and beautiful maidens, who have the fear of
the Lord constantly before their eyes, and the love of
man always in their hearts—:God bless 'em. Our
fair unknown correspondent, we are told, is a resi
dent of the Sixth Ward; and well,stalu3 ow repu
tation, that she is young, amiable; interesting, talent
ed and good looking, and that when she weds, she
weds only' one Of Old Tip's Boys. Is it not so Miss!
Here is the song without further preamble :
The Hero or the West.
,TUNE—.Meeting of the Waters.'
There's not in the wide world a ileteren so true,
As he in the West—the brave Tippecanoe;
And the last ray/of feeling and of life must depart,
Ere the deeds of his valor shall fade iron' my heart.
It is not that Glory had shed o'er his name
A halo the brightest, the richest in fame—
'Tis not the past only, with joy our hearts fill,
0 no ! it is something far dearer still.
It : is that this hero to, freemen so dear,
This Patriot and Sage whom all should revere,
Comes again to our , rescue—o'er our land to preside ;
Of all true Americans, the boast and the pride.
Then hail to the chieftain, who gallantly fought,
And hail to the Patriot who cannot be bought,
Let :us drink to the Victor, on whom our hearts rest,
And pledge faith and .truth to him of the West.
His name is resounding o'er all our broad land,
His banners are floating from village to strand,
While the young and the fair, the brave and the true,
All unite their good wishes for Old Tippecanoe.

EXTRACT from the SPEECH of MR.
OGLE, of Pennsylvania, on the Civil and
Diplomatic Appropriation Bill, in the
House of Representatives, on the 13th
of April, 1C40:
Was it not " practicable" to obtain Ame
rican or Domestic carpeting " for the use of
the President's House?" No gentleman dare
affirm that. Then why did Mr. Van Buren
violate the law, in purchasing. Foreign car
pets? Are there no, carpets made in the
United States of texture firm enough, and
of colors sufficiently gaudy, to please the eve
of a democratic President? Are American
weavers, and dyers, and manufacturers, too
dull and ton stupid to make n decent Repub
lican carpet? Is American wool too co.irse
or too fine—too long or too short, sir, that
American mechanics cannot form a carpet
out of it genteel enough for the feet of Mar
tin Van Buren to soil ? Why does he prefer
royal and imperial Wiltons to the fabrics of
his own countrymen? Has he no American
patriotism to call to his aid, and to shield
,American mechanics from this direct insult
to their skill ? Can he not appreciate the feel
ings of 'honest pride, that would swell with
delight the heart of every true born son of
Amerada, at beholding the floors and the
walls in the saloons of an American Presi
dent furnished with -plait, substantial, Ame
rican manufactures? Is this the policy that
Mr. Van Buren proposes by which we ate to
protect domestic industry from foreign.com
petition? Will he adopt the strange mode of
conferring benefits on American artisans by
transporting their money to reward the arti
sans of England, France, Belgium and Sax
ony? What will the American wool grower
say to his plan? How will the American
weaver relish that ? To correct and to punish
this outrage against American skill and
American industry, I rely with full confi
dence on the friends and patrons of Ameri
can manufactures and mechanics.
With your permission, Mr. Chairman, I
will now again conduct you to the first story
of the palace, where we shall enter the great
" Court Banqueting room," in which I can
promise you a - sight that will . be " good for
sore eyes." It is a genuine Loco Foco's
dinner table—set out, arranged in order, and
duly prepared to receive the Court guests.
In the first place, however, I must inform
you that this table is, not provided with those
Old and unfashionable dishes; "hog and ho.
miny," fried meat and gravy," " schnitz,
Liknep, and sourcrout," with a mug of " hard
cider." No, sir, no. All these substantial
preparations are looked upon by gourmands,
French cooks, and Loco Foco Presidents as
exceedingly vulgar, and fit only to set before
" Bank Whigs," and men (as the Globe elo.
quently expresses it) " who adopt the max- .
ims.and principles of cobblers and tinkers."
But the true orthodox, democratic viands,
with which a genuine Loco Foco furnishes
his dinner table, consist in massive gold plate
and French sterling silver services, blue and
gold. French tambours, compotiers on feet,
stands for bonbons, with three stages, gilded
French plateaus, garnished with mirrors and
garlands. and gaudy artificial Hovers. Dur
ing the apostolic days, the saints were com
mended to "eat what was set before them,
asking no questions"—but if any good 'Chris
tian man Would, by mistake, find his,way to
a table tiles furnished, and should incline to
obey the precept . according to its letter', he
would certainly have hard fare of ity "Be

NITURE." I
You seem amazed, Mr. Chairinan. Do
not believe that I speak not the " words of
truth and soberness." I have claw my
hands, sir, the ".official vouchera," which
show the expenditure of every dollar of that
large sum, and that the whole amount there.
of, with the exceptions of 81,124, was ex
pended since the days of the plain, frugal,
economical, republican, retrenching refor
mation of Jackson and Van Buren com
menced. And 1 here, in my place, demand,
in the name of my constituents, that the
Committee on the Expenditures on the Pulr
lic Buildings make a report to this House,
and communicate copies, not only of the
vouchers on this subject, but all the vouchers
in relation to expenditures, for the Presi
dent's house, furniture and grounds; that
they may be all spread before the People in
an " official form." This everlasting leak
age from the , People's strong box must be
stenched.
But I will exhibit to the committee the
various bills which form the aggregate of
$11,191 3240 r the table service of the de-
mocratic President.
I will, in the first place bring to the'notice
of the committee the bill for the French
sterling silver plate and gilt dessert set,
bought from a Russian nobleman, de M le
General Baron de Tuyll, resident Minister
of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia at Lis
bon, for the sum of four thousand three
hundred and eight dollars, and eightytwo
cents.
The silver plate consists of soup tureens,
sauce boats, plates, diverse -I, grandeurs, bot
tle stands, soup ladles, &c. &c. &c., three
hundred and thirty-eight pieces.
The gilt desert set is composed of table
spoons, sweetmeat spoons, tea or coffee
spoons, knives, forks, &e. &c. one hundred
and forty pieces.
The following receipts are endorsed on the
bill for the silver plate and guilt service:
" Received, four thousand three hundred
and eight dollars eighty-two cents, being'in
full for the within service of plate.
" I certify that I have received into the
President's House all the articles contained
in the within service, and they are intended
for the.use of the President's House.
I. BOULANGER.
It may be proper to remark that pure
gold is generally considered too ductile and
soft to manufacture into knives, forks an t
other utensils, which require some degree o
firmness or want of pliability. The gilt or
gold service, therefore, used in the palaces
of kings and at the castles of wealthy noble
men in Europe, is composed of a slight sub•
stratum of silver, thickly plated or, overlaid
with pure gold And hence, I presume, the
gilt service of the President was manufac
tured after the same manner. 'No honest
democrat, however, by taking uli the vari•
ous articles of which it consists, would be
led to doubt a moment that they are nude
of gold, without any alloy. They may be
pure gold, though I am inclined to believe
otherwise, inasmuch as they were procured
from one of the great nobles of Ole Russian
Empire.
Mr. , Chaii man, in my opinion, it is time
the People of the United States should. know
that their money goes to buy for-their plain
hard.handed democratic President, knives,
forks, and spoons of gold, that he may dine
in the style of the Monarchs of Europe.
[Mr. WAnnv THOMPSON. No wonder. This,
you know, is a gold and silver Administra
tion.] The fact, however, is impudentic ,
denied not only by Mr. Van Buren's or
gan," the- Globe, but by all the f Loco foco
papers throughout the country. t When a
certain lawyer, in Columbus, Ohio, told a
farmer in his neighbourhood thatl the Presi
dent had r a dinner service of gold; the Loco
foco paper published in that place, end called
the " Ohio Statesman," made so fierce an
attack upon him that the poor' man was
frightened and actually retracted the state.
ment—though it was as true as preaching.
The editor of that journal, after thus obtain.
ing a triumph over truth, proceeds in one of
his late papers to make the " ainende hono
rable." Please, sir, to notice the cool, auda
city of the fellow:
" A week or two since, we alluded in our
paper to a Whig attorney of this city, that
should have attempted to impose on an old
farmer, by telling him that Mr. Van Buren
eat off of gold plates, and used a ,gold knife
-and fork. We felt indignant that any one
whom we held in high estimation, personally,
should have descended to such a- mode of
electioneering, NOT THAT ANY ONE uvula) ,
BELIEVE n', but that any 'one should, resort
to such Bets. We were, however,:igratified
by learning from the gentleman , implicated i
. that he was misunderstood, and of ceurse we
did him injustice,-and it gives us-pleasure to
be thus able publicly to say so. Wo " should
have 'made this 'statement earlier; but. -we
were anxious to see all parties 'before , We
did so." , :` f Lt , es—,
, Now, sir, I would advise this. Whig lawyer
not to be tiutte'se timid hereafter to to re.

Mr. Chairman, don't you think that one
of your plain republican " Suckers" would
feel "kinder queer like" to be place at the
President'S,table, before these democratic
" Tambours with three stages," and Compo
tiers on feet ?" IVhy, sir, he would almost
imagine that he had suddenly been translated
to the, salle a fealin en maison royale of
Louis Phillippe, king of the French. 1 have
no doubt that some of my constituents would
would much rather face the grizzly bear, on
the Appalachian mountains, than sit down
before these "Tambours with three stages,"
and " Compotiers on feet," for five consecu
tive hours—the period usually required by
kings told .democratic, Presidents to masti
cate a state dinner."
Mr. Ogle's Speech.
The undersigned, Whig members of Con-
gress, have had their attention called to a
publication in the 'Globe' of the 10th of July,
1840, under the caption of" Messrs. Lincoln
ar.d Ogle," ; from which the following extract
is taken :
" He'(llr. Lincoln) was no friend of Mr.
Van Buren, but he would do him the justice
to say if there was any thing wrong in relit•
lion to the Furniture of the White House, the
President was not to blame for it. On the
contrary, he (Mr. L.) knew his great deficit•
cy on the sulject, and would assure the gen
tlemen that, whenever the committee had
consulted the President in relation to any
additional furniture, ) he had invariably ex
pressed his reluctance to have any thing ex
pended for , that object. He (Mr. L.) would
state from his own knowledge, that not asin
gle article of furniture supplied during the
last three years had been supplied at the re
quest of the'President. The committee alone
were answerable, and they would assume the
responsibility.''
The uri4rsigned do not undertake to say
whether Mr. Lincoln used the language im
puted to him by , the 4' Globe " or not ; but
as he has permitted its publication to remain
ten days without public contradiction, we
,resume that he now adopts the language
thicribed to him, if he did not originally utter
it. For the purpose, therefore, of placing
the matter truly before the country, and to
correct the gross misrepresentation of facts
contained in the above extract, the under.
signed certify that they have carefully exa
mined the vouchers which have been duly
audited and 'settled by the Trersury Depart
,meat for the purchase of furniture for the
President's house since the 4th of March,
1837, and that they have compared the said
vouchers with the statements of the same in
the published speech of Mr. Ogle, and find
the said vouchers truly set forth in the said
speech..
And they further certify that it appears
from the'said vouchers that more than eigh•
teen thousand dollars were expended in furni.
shing the president's house between the 4th of
March, 1837, and the 6th day of December,
1 . 837, the day ori which the Committee on
'Public Buildings and Grounds was appointed,
find of which Mr; Lincoln was chairman—
the former Committee on Public Buildings
and Groundi having ceased to exist on tha3d
day of March 1837.
.The undersigned further certify that, it
appears from the said vouchers that the said
money was k.xpended bv, the agents of, the
President, vq,. his son, Abraham Van Buren
T. L. Smith., and others, on warrants drawn
.11,ccder pf the President, of .the United States
,himself.. :
And the,undersigned would further state
that the Committee on Public Buildings Und
'Grounds have no , control, direction, or juris
dictimi whatever in the selection or purchase
'of tinnittire ',which the' President may i see
proper toprocure by himself or his agents,
when approtiriations are'made for that oblOct
by law. ' '

compared them with the copies as set forth
in the speech of the Hon. Mr. Ogle, and find
ihat they are 'truly set forth in the , speech,
and that upWards 01818,000 of these expen
ditures for furniture for the President's house
were made by the President and his agents
at a time when there was no committee of
Congress in existence, and, of course, made
by the President alone, without any one to
interfere or influence his wishes; and I am
told by my friend, Governor Lirmoin, that
he never made any such remarks as are pub. .

Destruction of ail Banks Openly avowed' by
the National Administration.
Mr. WALKER, United States Senator from
Mississippi, whose speech on the Sub• Tre
asury bill is published in the Globe and other
Van Buren organs with terms of high cum
mendation, takes the ground that the wages
of the working men are greatly tun high for
the prosperity of the country, and that be.
fore we can compete with foreign nations.
wages must be reduced to the standard of
the hard money countries, where they vary
from 6 pence to 10 pence a day. To effect
this he says the banks must all be prostrated
and all paper circulation put an end to. , Mr.
Walker says: (we quote from his speech as
published in the Globe.) " ERADICATE
the Vapor system and it will remove the
great cause of all our evils; ANYTHING
MORT OF THOS Will be but temporary expe
dients."
" By ABANDONING the bank paper system
all the great interests of the whole country
will be permanently and wonderfully pro.
moted."
" Let us then ABANDON THAT SYSTEM, and
advance our country to that high destiny
which would then await her."
•' Explosion is inseparable from the sys
tem; and when you speak to me of well re
gulated _banks of circulation; you speak to
me of what never has been of will be. You
might as well epeak to me of well regulated
DEVILS, whom even ALMIGHTY POWER
found it impossible to regulate in any other
manner than by CASTING IN CHAINS
INTO BILLOWS OF EVERLASTING
FIRE." .
Such is the doctrine of those in power,
who are seeking to increase their own sala
ries and resources, by oppressing the poor,
and taking from the hands of the enterpris
ing the means Of einplaying mechanics and
labourers. Mr. Buchanan, whose speech
we have before refer?ed to follows in the
same track, but with evident fear of awaken
ing the mechanics and labouring men of the
North to the situation in which they will be
placed. We would not argue that question.
When the sad reality comes, as come it will
unless the people rise in their own might to
arrest it, it will require no argument to
make every one feel it and this too to his
sorrow.--Harrisburg Telegraph.
PERKINS' 'I'ATENT STEAVI GUN
This extraordinary apparatus which has excite d
so much attention in Europe and in New 1? oi k.
may, as we learn, roan be expected , in this city. It
discharges from 60 to 120 balls per minute; and is
likely to make no little noise in the world. It is the
production of Mr. A. M. Perkins, who has invented
an entirely new method of generating steam, which
has been successfully applied to steam engines, and
is- at once so simple, safe and economical, as to
leave little doubt that the steam gun *ill ere long
rank among the first implements of warfare. It
has been foun4"by experiment, that the regenerator
is capable of fdi'nishing a constant supply ofi steam
for discharging balls at the rate of 60 per minute,
and that one pound of anthracite coal will generate
steam sufficient to discharge four pounds of bells;
the steam has often been raised to a pressure of 700
pounds per square inch, but one third of this pres
sure is sufficient to completely flatten the balls when
jdischarged against an iron target 100 feet distant
rom the gun, and a pressure of' 400 pounds per
square inch,.at the same distance shivers a ball to
atoms. It is, no•doubt, a curious andextraordinary
specimen of human ingenuity.—Phila. Inc.
