A word now resnectinc the candidates bo
fore vou. President Van Baron is well
known to vou all. He 13 the free choice
of all sections of the Union a calm, cool
r.tnar sighted man. Amply qualified by na
turn and education to discharge the duties
of the office of President he has enjoyed
nsnncial advantaffo from csneiience. lie is
a democrat in principle nnd feeling has
stood by his principles and his party from
boyhood, without flinching or wavering
and has at all times been found equal to th
occasion. He is the friend and tho politi
ral disciple of President Jackson, and is
pledged to carry into operation all tho great
measures of reform proiocl'ed by him.
Lot his administration speak for itself.
What good could he do, that ho has not
done T Where has he been found wanting.
Ve fearlessly invite full and searching scru
tiny into his acts. They will stand the
mo3t rigid test. His opinions are fully and
frankly explained. He who runs can read
them.
General Harrison is in the hands of a
committeo, who act and speak for him. Ho
may or he may not avow or discover their
conduct. He is tho first candidate that ev
er run in the United States for a high office
who professedly had and claimed no princi
ples. This is a federal trick to cheat tho
people. It is founded on tho belief that
the pcoplo are so ignorant they cannot sco
through it. It would be a disgrace to the
ago to suppose it could prevail. It would
lie a libel on our free government to say,
the people prefer to bo ruled by men, whose

Col. Johnson and Mr. Tyler, tho candi
dates in Pennsylvania for tho Vice Presiden
cy, require littlo to be said, in order to place
their respective claims ucioro uieir ienuw
citizens in their trim light. Of Mr. Tyler
wo kitow little. lie has done nothing, ei
ther in a civil or a military capacity to ren
der himself conspiciou3. lie may be a
respectable man enough, but ho was nomi
nated by bargain or accident, and has no
better claims to the oliice.tnan inousanus oi
others, as capable and as deserving as him
self. Of Col. Johnson, no child can bo
found who does not know something to Ins
credit. During thirty years services in
Congress, ho has always been the champi
on of the poor, the friendless and the forsa
ken. Evei Mr. Webster, a political opponent,
a few days ago in the Senate, paid htm a
well dese'rved compliment, for hi? efforts to
abolish imprisonment for debt, that would
confer honor on the great name of Wash
ington, as a man and a philanthropist. His
bravery ia of that chivalrous kind, that nei
ther shrinks from ror carc3 for danger. He
never deserted his post, nor shrunk from
perils . His courage it was that gained the
brilliant victory of tho Thames' His friends
need not solicit affidavits and certificates to
prove his bravery and his merits He wears
tho certificates on his scarred breast. When
he brandished hi3 shattered and mangled
right arm, iirtho very teeth of Tccumseii
and his Indian warriors no man asked his
lellow, whether Col. Johnson wa3 a soldier,
Tho real hero needs no champion for his
fame, but tho troops that follow him to bat
tle. The shout of victory thunders forlh
his name, and carries it on the wings of
the wind, to the remotest of his country men
The very children echo die shout, and Ins
tory makes the name immortal. Such
Col. Johnson's fame.
13
Tho national convention failed to nominate
him, but Pennsylvania has already done so
subject to tho reversal ot that body.
It
nominated no other person and we accor-
dinnly have the pleasure in Pennsylvania
of assuring the old veteran bv our votes that
the democratic partv is neither unmindful
of his services, nor ungrateful to the soldier
and the patriot.
Ever fruitful in falsehood and calumny,
the federal organs have asserted and contin
ue to reittcrate the Assertion, that the demo
cratic party advocates the doctrine of a re
ducliau of the price of labor, and that the
Hon. James Buchanan has recently broach
