Capt. Webb . '
Dear Sir I am a kind of Cosmopolite,
wandering about from one place to another;
but notwithstanding I take some notice of
men and things, and what appears turf nge
to me fa, that of all the subjeets of Great
Britain that I meet with, but very few ever
become naturalized citizens of the United
Slates. When I say British subject, I on
ly mean the Englishmen. I do not mean
the Irish, for to the honor of thai oppressed
people be it said, that as toon as they can,
after arriving on this, liberty's soil, they en
ter into the cause of the people, become
naturalized ' citizens, exercise the right of
suffrage and, what is more true, they at
tach themsevles to the democratic party.
And why 1 Because "they well know the
oppressions of the British whigs at home
The holiest German, tod, as soon as his
foot touches this land of liberty, they de
clare for the cause of democracy and the
people; which, by the b, is the cause of
God and our countryi Hence they are cal
led by the British whigs, stupid Dutch' and
turbulent Irish. Yet all exercise the tight
of suffrages that ban imp'ose & vole, and all
to a man, I know not a single exception,
join the piebold or mora prnptrly balled,
the British whig party. Now how is this,
and what is the cause of it, thai they the
British subjects; and the rich bie'n aild bank
men have always been in opposition to the
democratic republican party T What is
the cause of this, ii lli'ey are friendly td
our freS govern rh'ehi and W the- govern
ment of a free people t And has the time
not come that the free, though poor Ameri
can citizous,sre capable of self-governmenti
Or are they still as Adams of old said.inca'
pable of self-government? and as a modern
friend of him was pleased to call them,
the servile route T What call the friends of
our laWs aii'd consftulidn, a servild route.
Yss; well, t will tell you, sir, whai they
are capablo of doing what they have done
and will do agaiu if neeessaty. They
have fought tlio bailies of our country they
have gained our Independence they have
maintained that Independence and will
still adhere tb the true principles of equal
rights, equal privileges, libiieit equality of
merit but not of wealthi
I will tell yo'U how I form1 in opinion Hf
a candidates politics, if I have any doubts
I 1st quietly and wail Until t ebb' which
I s '
side the British subjects, the Quakers; Am
neiits, and ribh nabobs take; and tile other
side of the question is sure to bo the demo
cratic side, the side of the people, rind the
side of equal right. For who evtfr heard
of either of the above mentioned characters,
in a mini, fight the battlei of our common
country. No one. But I will (ell you
what many have seen. The rich man, Hire
the poor mail td go and fight for him the
battles of his country; while he himself
was taking hid ease at his home, making
speeches and exerting his influence against
the war, and the administration.
V.'hilo ihany of lite above mentioned
characters, have both refused to po and
serve their country, or to pay fine, until their
goods and chatties have been distrained,
and sold to pay their fines, then id hear
their pitiful lamentation, their curses of the
oppressions of government, their war pes
lilenco anil famine speeches, it would most
make you think their oppressions were
hard and really true. In this way they
have lead many honest, well meaning men
astray, through sympathy, arid indeed have
joined their banner. Bui they have only
to see their object and intentions, and they
will just so soon abandbn them and their
cause; Why all tUis sympathy for the rich
and the characters above mentioned, while
not one drop of sorrow for the worn out sol
dier. Oh, lib1. He must be treated aS an
out cast and a vagabond on ihe face of the
earth. No good feeling for him among the
British whitfs. Oh, no. Better that New
Oileans fall into the hands hi the British
than that A. T. Jackson should bb elected
President. Shame on such whigk, and the
characters that I have endeavored to portray i
are the very characters, tiiat are making1 the
loudest cry df lbg edbln and hard .cider at
this tin'iej
But Captain, one alwtiys feels fof their
friendii arid we haver like to hear of one
of our friends getting whipped vary bad,
and if they do, ii is natirral for human na
ture to retaliate, We cannot blame the
whigs so much for their hatred of Gen.
Jackson, for he gave their friends such a
confounded basting at Orleans that they can
never forget it. If he had just gave them
a slight Tippicanoe touch, their friends
would have soon got over it.' And in addi
tion to that, allowed three men to have
thought for him,, talked for him, and dlitcd
for him, ho then would have made a pretty
good British Whig candidate for the Presi
dency. A TRAVELLER.

In addition to the above, we have gather-

she was lifted many feet oat of the water
and instantly dashed to the bottom of the
river with every soul on board. The enor

Mississippi anu swelling to tho very top

From an estimate madb by Mr: Raffner

posed to be about 81,200,000.
The neighboring planters aie generously
sending in lari'e gangs of slaves to assist in
cleaning the streets and digging the dead

The greatest loss of life was among' the
flat boats, which were swamped and des

Look here Freemen !
us now nave, in our possession, says
tho Lancaster Iiill'llfgencer, copies of two
Laws signed by Wm. Henry Harrison,
while Governor of Indiana.'
The first is the fact of his having signed
a bill and this proves that his friends
know him to have voted for selling white
men into slavery, for debt,so understanding
it in favor of selling white men and WO
MEN into slavery, and of whipping them
at the whipping pott, for absconding from
their masters 1
The second is the fact of his having sign
ed a bill, while Governor of Indiana, provid
ing that no man shoiild votcvnleu heown
cd fifty aeret of land thus opposing the
right of suffrage, and forever debarring the
poor nian from voting. Read the following
from the Daily Pittsbuigher.
In the Sedate of Ohio, Harrison: voted to
sell white men for 'fines or cdst;" but as
Governor of Indiana he added ThIrty
mnb stripes'. In Ohio fie wris confined
to males only, but as Governor of Indiana
he includes females also. Th'e latter clause
of (he 2d section, it will be seen reads;
"And if such person or persons, sb senten
ced and hired or SOLD, shall abscond.
