THE BL00.1SBURG BAND.
The Committee of arrangements of the
democratic celebration owe this Band thci
thanks for their generous manner iu which
they volunteered the services for the day,
It is now less than a year since this Band
was organized, and we venturo to say that
few even elder associations can excel them
in the skill and taste with which they play
Indued, it was remarked by a distinguished
gentleman present, that he had never heard
" Yankee Doodle" played better. Wo sin
cerely hopo that tho citizens of this placs
will encourage them onward iu their march
of improvement, that they may continue to
be what they now uro, a credit to them
selves and to the villago in which they re
side.
Log Cabin Fare Federal Whiggery,
says tho Pennsylvatiian in 'its ludicrous at
tempts lo assume a popular manner, and to
descend and take the pc'opjo by the hand,
talks much about " log cabin fare." It will
bo been however , from tho subjoined, that
their notions on this subject aio about as on
lightened as the ideas of the French ptin
cess, who on hearing that the people of
Paris wero starving for want oi bread, ask
ed why they did not eat cakesshe would,
rather than starve. Iu a Boston paper of
the 20th of June, yv-e find an invitation to a
great Harrison Jubilee, to be held in South
Boston, on the 4th of July, at which a
morning collation" was to be served up,
consisting of the following articles, which
are designated as log cabin fare."
' Cold ham and tongue! do., s'altpetered
beef; do. boenf a lamod; do. veal and lamb;
sandwiches, bread and butter; crackers and
cheese, Red Cinnn; iced lemon ade."
The Now. York Evening Post says that
this brings to mind the story of a pamperd
scion of royalty, who being told of the
hardships of a military life, exclaimed,
" Who cares for hardships I Give mo a
cold fowl and a bottle of claret, and I con
get on any where,"
" The' People' of the United , SliloS.
Way thoy ever remember, that to preserve
their liberties, they must do their own vot
ing and their own fighting,"
Wm. II. Harrison.
Tho People of tho United States. They
will over remember, that lo preserve their
liberties, thoy must hare a President, who
can do his own thinking, pn his own writ
ing JJcrks County, in Pennsylvania, may bo
truly called the Nazareth of Loco'Focoism
of tho Union- What is the county good
for any how ? L03 Cabin Mv
Good for, do you ask ? Why it is good
for four thousand fitie hundred majority for
Van Buren.
" You'll find no change in mo," aa the
counterfeit dollar said to the soap-lock.
"Tho "Straight-out Harrisonian" of the
5th June, published at Columbus, holds the
following language, it being tl.o concluding
paragnph of a long cditoiral artielo in fa
vor nf a National Bank :
"But the banks, as they now stand, re
quire an institution to keep them vi,hiii
proper bounds as lo their issues of bank
notes: so far as experience goes, nothing
will do it but A NATIONAL BANK."
The Federal faction are becoming sensi
ble that disgrace is fastening on them, from
tho secret and crooked policy which they
have adopted They have theroforo, by
way of assuming an appearance of bold
frankmss, established a print which they
call the "STRAIGHT-OUT IIARRiSO
NIAN 1 !" This organ proves ils sense of
the mischief of the non-committal policy.by
coming straight-out for a National Bank.
Concealment on this subject was indeed al
most ludicious, when the cashiered Bank
and its partizans were pouring out hundreds
of thousands of dollars in electioneering
appliances, to gain, with tho re-election
of Harrison, a new national charter.
