When the glow-worm gilds the Iftutei bower,
By the side of yonder hill,
Where oft we stray'd, at twilight hour,
When all was calm and still;
Tis there I loie to tly with thee,'
From the gay, and glittering throng ;
In the moonbeams blight, of a summer's night,
On the banks of the Tumbling Hun.
And when thy heart oppressed with grief,
And withering like the Bowers,

And sing of happier hours:

Away from the busy hum;
In the moonbeams bright, of a suinmei's night,

Kr The Locos are trying to get up a rry that the
country is in a very prosperous condition since the
passage of the Sub-Treasury 13111. As far as our
own region Is concerned, we can assure our readers
abroad, that the people do not feel very prosperous at
present. It is true, that everything iisettling down
to a healthy state,andthete are some signs of business
in some quarters of the country—but it is not caused
by the passage of the Sub-Treasury Bill--bat quite
the reverse. It is the repeal of Mat Bill, which the
recent electons have rendered CERTAIN, which is
gradually dispelling the general gloom which per.
traded'the whole country, Immediately after its pass
age, that the revivals in business are to be attributed
to. Render the election of General Harrison certain,
and the People know that a change of measures will
fellow—this will inspire confidence in the community
at large, and the business of the country will revive
before the new A.dministmtion enters upon their du.
ties.

TOICELP. PUBLIC
In leaving Lewistown trettirn my,th j lolto
to my prilitical friends and to the public gen
erally, by whoin i was kindly and, respect-
fully received. I would however observe,
'that this was far from being the, case at
Huntingdon; to my friends' there I likewise
return my sincere thanks; but the.following
statement i consider it my duty to make:
taddreased a meeting in the court house
at Huntinfidon, but while speaking, the win
dows of 4 the court house-were smashed in
with large stones, both the glass and the
sashes, by a gang of Locnfoco ruffians,
headed and led uti by a state officer..a super
inteodent on the canal, the constable of the
town and by a printer there. One of' the
stones struck me; I however persisted in
finishing my speech. On leaving the court
house, I , was assaulted by another volley of
stones, one of which struck and injured an
aged man by my•side. In making my way
to Mr. M'Connel's tavern, I was assailed by
a volley of eggs, many of which struck
around the door, as I walked into the house.
Many of these ruffians were taken (tom the
line of' the canal. After this they spread
themselves through different parts of the
town in small parties, to prevent my. escape.
Same of them were heard to swear that
" Nothing but my blood would satisfy them."
They numbered in all upwards of 74 per
sons: the larger part of them went down to
the landing, supposing I ts.ou!d take the
packet—which intended to do. This was
about 1 o'cliacteat night. At this time, Mr.
Horrell, a member of the Van Buren party,
very kindly told me that " If I valued my
life, I must not go down to the boat!"
thanked him for his kindness, and took his
advice. I was therefore compelled to get a
friend to:bring me down in a gig, or chaise,
to Lewistown, where I arrived about 3
o'clock in the afternoon, and thus escaped
the bloodhounds who thirsted for my lire.—
I should elate, however, that when the boat,
arrived at Huntingdon, in the night, 25 of
them boarde.d her, and notwithstanding the
captain assured them I was not aboard, they
in,Jisted on going below and searching. They
remained aboard until they reached the
locks about two miles below town—they cal
culated 1 mould get aboard there, which was
the reason of their going down. I return
my thanks to Mr. Harrell, who, though a
member of the opposite party, behaved like a
gentlemap, and wasthe means of preserving
me from the hands of the hired banditti who
wished todestroy me. One of them had be
come an
,intoxicated, that in attempting to
get on the packet, he fell off into the canal.
The captain of the packet, whose name I do
not recollect, is a member of the Van Buren
party, and will confirm my statement, as to
what took place at the landing and on board
the boat. .1 consider such desperate and law.

may speak his sentiments without fear.
lON E.
shall continue to spread facts and documents
before the people up to the time of ti.e election. My
grandfather'and two of my uncles died in the war of
the Revolution, fighting for our liberties,—•and my
father was Wounded in the late war, while'lighting
the battles of his country. I think, therefore, ea en
American freeman, I am entitled to the liberty of
thought and freedom of speech.--1 am determined to
exercise both.
The present contest is between the office-holders
and the people. The latter will certainly triumph.
In justice to Gen. A. P. Wilson. the Van Buren
candidate for Congress from this district, I must say
of him, that he exerted himself to put a stop to tho
lawless proceedings of his partisan associates. but
without avail, for which he has my sincerelhanks.
JOHN W. BAER.
Another Valuable Convert.—The St. Louis
Bulletin am ounces that William B. Lewis, formerly
I bird Auditor of the Treasury, has renounced Van
Barettistn, find is out in favor of .. Old Tippec.anoe."
Mr. Lewis was one of the earliest. warmest and most
efficient friebds of General Jackson. At one time,
indeed, he Was the special and favorite confidant of
old Hickory;. Ho was a sincere friend, and adhered
to him to.thetast, but he is an' honest man, and could
not swallow 'Van Buremstn.
Turncouti.:—Martin Van Duren professed Demo
cratic principles, when he was elected—he was then
opposed to a Sub-Treasury, end also to s Standing
Array- 2 41e is now in favor of butts these measures,
and has embraced the ultra federal measures of the
administratien of John Adamet . and all the leading

Dear Col,: As' l there are several very dif

a written' statement . of the circumstances of
that battle, as . 1 am sure that no man will
doubt the truth of veur statement.
Will you be so good as to state al§n. Gen.

Sir: In answer to your enquiry as to the
liattle'of the Thames, I enclipie you a letter
which I wrote, to dated
„Dec. 223, 104. lu answer to yeurcurther
enquiry, as to tlieipositon of Gen. Harrison
doting the battle,j state that after he per
mitted me to charge the enemy, I did not
see him till the battle was over.
Your friend,
R. M. JOEINSON.
Ilon. 11 m. Auk's.
December 22d, 1834.
Dear Sir: I have just received your fa.
vor of the 19th, containing certain inquiries
as to the haute of the Thames, sth of Octo•
her, 1813, in Counda.
1. '4e 'Mounted regiment under my com•
mend, consisted of one tliouslind trier. at the
time of the charge.
2. They were
,armed with muskets and
rifles, and tomahawks ur small hatchets, and
butcher knives.
3. The British, had One brass field piece,
(six pounder) the same that was taken by
us in the revolutionary war at Saratoga, arid
re-taken from us at the surrender of Detroit
by Genera( Ilull. It was placed in the road
near the Thames, not far from the centre of
the British line. ,
4. Tne British, formed two lines, resting
on the Thames and running nut to a swamp
two or three hundred yards from .the river
and parallel with it.
5. t presume Proctor was stationed con
siderably in the rear of his troops, and pro
bably commenced his flight the moment he
saw his forces defeated and taken prisoners.
6. 1 think the best ground fur defence was
selected.
7. The militia infantry were stationed at
reasonable distance in rear of the mounted
regiment, in order of battle, say from one
hair to one mile. Nly brother, Col. James
Johnson, charged the British forces with the
first battalion, five hundred men, and suc
ceeded without the loss of a man—one horse
killed, shut in the head—in advent-jog,' be
received the fire of one line of the British,
and therrof the other; and in close eueces
sion ; the cannon was not fired. I crossed
the swamp wits the second battalion, (fiv e
hundred triers,) and fiught against the In
titans, supposed fourteen hundred warriors.
under Tecumseh, Without env aid whatever.
A regiMent was ordered to reinforce me at
the close of the battle, but did not teach us
until the battle was over, and the Indians
had fled—The official report is incorrect in
eajing that the hard fighting on the left was
by a part of Governor Shelby's men. We
had no assistance, except a few scatter•
ing volunteers ficitn the infantry, who might
have pushed into our ranks. I was wounded
and could give no information to the com
manding General, and he did not know at
the time he made his reports, that I had
crossed the swamp with my regiment; as
when he gave orders to make Cie charge, he
thought from my information, that I could
not cross the swamp; which I discovered I
con:d do a few minutes after he left me, and
believing that it was most tiife, and that my
regiment was sufficient, I divided my forces
as mated above, and the victory on both sides
was complete; but, ne doubt, the instanta
neous capture of the British, and the early
death of the Indian chief, were powerful ope-
rating causes in our favor.
J ara j eca.
R. 111. JOHNSON.
N. H.—lt is due to truth, to state, that 1
requested General Harrison to permit me to
charge, and, knowing that I had trained my
men for it during our short eervidt, be gave
the order,
AN ACCESSION.

be wholesome. The times have been getting worse
