GEN. HARRISON'S POVERTY.
Our opponents are talking a groat deal a
liout General Harrison'a povcity, and say
that tlio administration papers aro cohtinu
ally making it a subject for mirth and laugh
ter. They are certainly very naughty for
deing so, as poverty is, in our opinion, no
disgrace to any body and certainly not to
ono who has spent go great a portion of his
life in the"" wars," as Gen. Harrison is said
to ltavo done. But what has caused the old
hero to be so very poor in his old days ?
Moro than a quarter of a century has passed
away, since he foight tho British and " In
gens" at Fort Slcphcnson, and ho has held
various, important, and profitable offices,
almost continually since that time. Wo
think his poverty, if he is really as poor as
lie is now represented to be, is not much in
his favor as it seems to indicate that ho is
pretty much of a spendthrift, which is cer
tainly not vety creditable to him. The

poor old gentlemen nas ocon lor many years, by which U will bo seen that ho has had tlio FHi
and is now, receiving from the county of
Hamilton, as Clerk of the Courts of that
county, fees varying seven to nino thousand
dollars per annum. It is generally admitted
that office is worth, on an average, at least
eight thousand dollars. Tho Advertiser
states on most respectable authority that he
is incompetent to perform the duties of tho
office himself, that other persona are 'em
ployed at moderate salaries to do the work
and that, after rllowing the utmost for ex
penses, it leaves about six thousand dol
lars, as a sinecure for tho Hero of Iforth
Bend for doing nothing. If this be true,
and Gen. Harrison spends 6ix thousand
dollars, per annum, besides the profits
from tho produce which lip raises on his
form, ho must be a very extravagant old
gentleman, that's all; and as our opponents
profess so much dislike for any thing like
extravagance, they surely are not anxious
to send him to the WhitcHouse" in. Wash
inrrton ! for if they do, they will have to
raise, his salary, as one term will not be suf
ficient to satisfy him. If Gen. Harrison,
after fulling so many offices, and after real
izing six thousand dollars a year for ten or
twelve years past, still pleads poverty, we
imagine ho will not bo much better off, if
he should succeed in reaching tho Execu
tive chair. Twenty dollars a day, wc should

Thus, according to tho solemn declara
tion of Joseph Ritner and Thaddeus Ste
vens, when Gen. Porter was inaugurated
Governor of this commonwealth there was
not a dollar in the Treasury to sustain tho
credit of the state and carry on her improve
ments. In addition to this, a combination

of itself, is sufficient to Gatisfy iho peoplo
that his wholo mind is fixed upon a reforma

Institutions of our country. His fust an
nual message to tho legislature is a state
document that stands unrivalicd and admits
of no superior; and his special message is a
postscript worthy to be appended to its le
gitimate parent. In regard to tho banks,
Gov. Porter has suggested a plan for their
future operations such as cannot fail to bo
every republican in the
state; and which, it adopted, wjll liereaticr
secure tho peoplo against all losses from an
irredeemable paper currency, such as has
flooded the country from our infancy to the
present timo. Tho banking system, owing
to tho enormous privileges that havo been
extended to it in days gone by, has wound
itself, like a, serpent, into every branch of
domestic industry, as well a3 into all the
People Sivcpt off.
British India is an empire as largo as Eu
rope, cxolusivo of Russia, with a popula
tion, including tributary Stales, of more
than 150,000,000. Over this empiro and
peoplo a sway was exercised wholly Bri
tish ; while it is affirmed that ignorance,
poverty, crime and disaffection pervail
there, to a distressing and alarming ex
tent. It has been estimated that tho famine of
1337 and 1838; in the Upper Province of
Bengal ; swept off more than 500,000 peo
ple. The famines of the year 1839, vi
sited the Northern Provinces of Bombay

Tho deer was driven to the shore of tho riv
