JKFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN. THE OLD SOLDIERS. " I was dining with Gen. Harrison, -in the spring of 1839," said a gentle n an to us. a few days ago, " and while in the midst of our repast a loud knock was heard at the door. My host arose from the table excused liimself, and went to the door to see who was desirous of' admittance. Af ter a parley of some moments with a person who spoke in a rough tone of voice the general ushered in the room a very old man, whose worn out and tattered garments bespoke great dis tresss and poverty. "Mr. ."said Gen. Harrison this is one of my nld soldiers, and I .have invited him in to dine with us. He was with me at the sortie at fort Meigs and at the Thames. I remember Iris bravery well, These are men whom we must honor. Take that seat George.' " George, (for that was the soldiers' name,) " ' c ontinued our friend, " sat : OF THE . : -3cIFsoi5an J&epitMican, A iew Weekly Paper, to be published, at StroudS' burg, Monroe County, Pa., and Miljurd, Pike County, Pa., simultaneously. ,'The whole art of Government consists in the art oi' being honest. Jefferson THE JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN in principle, will be all its title purports, the 'firm and unwavering advocate oPthe principles and doctrines of the democratic part)-, delineated by the illustrious Jefferson : the right of the peo ple to think, to speak, -and to act, independent ly, on all subjects, holding themselves respon sible to no power for the free exercise of this right, but their God, their Country, and her Laws, which they themselves have created. A free and untranimelcd Press, conducted in ; spirit worthy of our institutions, is a public bles sing, a safeguard to the Constitution under which we live, and-it should be cherished and support- ed by every true republican. Such, then, it is designed to make the paper now estab lished, and as such, the publisher calls up the enlightened citizens of Monroe and Pik to aid him in this laudable enterprise. The time has arrived when the Press should take a bold down and soon gave "us cause to know that a good dinner and him had beon strangers for many a long day. Tne - old fellow's feelings became enliven Sied by the good things he had parta- Iken of and a glass or two of whiskey and. water, and for nearly two hours did the general and he fight their battles over again. Towards eve- mng-the General took me aside, and . asked me join with him in the charity he was about to bestow. I cheerful ly consented. The General went to his bed-room and in a few minutes re turned with a new black coat. "George" said the hero, this is the only Goat I have got excent the thread bare on my back. Take it and while it protects you from the inclement j winds of our cold spring, remember j Iti J and faarless stand against the evidently increas ing moral and political degeneracy ol the day, and endeavor, by a fair, candid, and honorable course, to remove those barriers whioh scctibn 'al prejudices, party spirit, and party animosity have reared to mar the social relations of men without accomplishing any paramount good. THE JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN will not seek to lead or follow any faction, or to advocate and support the schemes of any par ticular set of men. It will speak independent ly on all State and National questions, award ing to each that support which its merits may demand, never hesitating, however, to condemn such measures, as in the opinion of the editor is justly warranted, holding as a first principle : " The greatest good to thcgrcatest number." Believing that the great principles of democ racy are disregarded by the present Chief .Ma gistrate of the Nation, Martin Van Bure.v, the JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN, will decidedly, but honorably oppose his re-election j to the high and responsible station which he "now holds. It will firmly oppose the " Independent Trea- , x TABLE OF THE RATES OF TOLLS: i.i . 0N 'THE DELAWARE AND HUDSON CANAL, - I ,.

I am like yourself, George, poor, and liave to labor for my living after long toil and hard work in the'service of my country, but, we poor soldiers en joy at least the proud consciousness of having done our duty.' "After some further conversation, George departed thanking his old General from his very heart. I his little circumstance turned the conver sation between him and mysalf upon the hardships of the last war, the faith fulness of his troops, and the true pol ipy the government ought to pursue fo its surviving defenders. This an ecdote, will however, serve to show the kind hearted goodness of the old General, and it proves that if he is e lected President he will be the Presi dent of the people accessible to all." . - iV.

It will ever maintain that the welfare of our Country and the preservation of her Republican Institutions should be the first and only senti ments of our hearts in the choice of our public servants ; that honesty, fidelity, and capability, are the only true tests of merit ; that all men are created equal, and, therefore, should alike enjoy the privileges conferred on them by the Constitution without being subject to proscnp ion, or coerced by the influence of party.

HP JL HE Ladies' Companion, established in May, 1634 a popular and highly esteemed magazine of General Literature and the Fine Ans; cmbci.isii with gorgeous and costly engravings on steel, and ble and popular Music, arranged lor tne xianj Forte, and Guitar. Sinco the publication of the number for, Novem ber, the demand for the Ladies' Companion has been unprecedented and beyond the mog.t.saisguiua " anticipations. At the commencement of the vol ume an additional number of copiesrvi'efe printed, which was considered at the time, adequate to sa tisfy all the orders which'rriight be received, an-.l leave a considerable number on hand fur subse quent calls. The publisher is more than gratified in stating that the whole of an edition cf six thou sand, fie hunored copies, was completely exhaus ted before the issuing u'f the third number of the volume; and, consequently, he was compelled to reprint a second edition of two thousand copies, making the circulation of the Ladies' Compauio a eight thousand five hundred, at the termination of the tenth volume. In consequence of this great and unparalleled increase of new subscnbeis, he has determined to commence the new volume for the ensuing year with thirteen thousand : ho.ii. that he will thus be enabled to supply all the de mands for the Ladies' Companion, as weh as these disappointed in commencing with the tenth vol ume. The proprietor feels- grateful u.r that en couragement which has been so lavishly bestow e-t upon nis magazine, and at the same time he begs to assure the readers of the Ladios" Cnpamoi., that it is determined resolution to meet it with .t corresponding liberality to merit its continuance. The work appears in beautiful new Upe, printed on the finest paper ; smoothly pressed, ana neatij stitched in a handsome cover. The Ladies' Companion contains a larger quan tity of reading than any other magazine issued in in this country, and its subscription price is oniy three dollars a year while the great combinatn.iL of talent secured for the coming year will render it unequalled by any other periodical. Splendid Steel Engravings, prepared by Mr. A- Dick, ornament the work one of which accompa nies each number. These plates are entirely nc-wT and are engiaved at a heavy expense by one of the best arstists in America, expressly for the maga- zine. l he designs are selected wan a view oi in teresting the general reader, and enhancing the value of the work, for its superior pictoral em'el- ishments. It is with pride the proprietor announ ces that the Ladies' Companion is the only maga zine published, in which new and elegant sieal plates appear regularly. I hose accompanying' other monthly periodicals, are generally first worn out in annuals.- In addition to the engravings mentioned, a correct plate of the Quarterly Fash ions for Ladiest will appear in the June, Septem ber, December, and March numbers, independent of the usual embellishment. It is the determina tion of the proprietor, that these fashion plates 4 shall appear in a style hitherto unknown. It lite- 4 rary character will undergo no change, as it will remain under the charge of the same Editors as heretofore. Articles from the pens of the most distinguished writers, will appear in the foithcon ing numbers, among which may be enumerated the following: Mrs. Holland, jEmma C. Embury, L-vdia H.
