AVe are up! Don'tyou hear the Whig thunder?
We come with a hearty huzza !
What foe ever heard, without terror,
The war cry of old Chippewa?
Chorus The war cry, &c.
From Queenstown, where nobly he battled,
Niag'ni, where gory he lay,
The people re-echo the thunder,
And cather for old Chippeiva.
Prom Mexico's snowy sierras,
Her vales where they bask in the day,
Comes the voice of his valor and virtue.
The glory of Old Chippewa.
North, South, East and West, it arises,
Xo faction that thunder can stay ;
It hails with the blessings of freemen,
Their champion and choice Chippewa.
His breast has been plowed by the British,
And forty campaigns make him gray ;
But we'll wreath his high brow with a laurel,
And glory in old Chippewa.
When Mexico's millions were offered,
From his country to win him astray ;
44 Tho1 poor, ril love, live, and die by her !"
So answered our old Chippewa.
The hero that can't lose a battle

Scott fhee, with our old Chippewa.
A Lundy's Lnne fuss with the British,
A fuss on Chepultepec'8 day
Thus the feathers will fly from the Locos,
When they come across old Chippewa.
"Tis 6trange, though in stratagem able,
He cannot make a faint in the fray,
A fall save when riddled with bullets
Ne'er happens to old Chippewa.
With the high soul of honor to nerve him,
And good soup his stomach to stay,
Come Mexicans, British, or Locos
They're nothing to Old Chippewa.
The Locos selected a leader.
But their managing Masters said nat;
So they straw-stufFd the coat of a hero,
And set it 'gainst Old Chippewa. ,
Poor fellows! they're tired of their fetters,
And shrink from the trick with dismay;
All true-hearted Democrats spurn it
And rally round Old Chippewa.
Home toil, with the iron of England,
Free Trade Pierce would pierce and would
slay,
But Scott likes the ore of the Keystone :
He used it at old Chippewa.
Xo despot will dare to insult us,
No traitor our Union betray,
With him who has bled to defend us,
Our President Old Chippewa.
The pure and the wise and the noble,
His country's best guardian and stay;
In camp or in cabinet peerless,
Ohf who is like old Chippewa 1
Make way ! for the torrent is coming,
J he millions m battle array ;
Their glad shouts will soon cleave the wilkin,
For Victory and old Chippewa.

Camp Meeting Anecdote.
At a campmeeting, a number of ladies
continued standing on the benches not-
with standing frequent hints from the
. , . 3 i j
minister to sit down. A reverend old (
gentleman noted for his good humor a-
rose and said:
I think if those ladies standing on the

This address nad the desired effect-
there was an immediate sinking into the us into scrapes, and thereby one of the
seat. A young minister standing behind ' f ors of a f burcb d " ba worse."
, , , , . , , . . , A young fellow entered the church and
him, and blushing to the temples said tQok Ms gea(. with hig hat Qn Aq elder
'0 brother, how could you say that!' ; noticing it stepped up and requested him
'Say that?' said the old gentleman, 'It's to take it oft'. His request not being
a fact if they hadn't holes in their stock-, complied with, he came to thc young man
nigs, I'd like to know how they oould get
them on.'

No Use for Trowsers.
On the morning of the well-remembered
meteoric shower in 1833, Old Pey
ton Roberts, who
intended making -an
early start to his work, got up in the midst ,
of the display. On going to his door, he ;
saw with amazement, the sky lighted up
up
with the falling meteors, and he concluded
at once that the day of judgment had
come. He stood for a moment gazing in
speechless terror at the scene, and then ;
! ... . . I
with a yell ot horror sprung out ot the
door into the yard, right in the midst of ,
the falling stars, and here, in his efforts
to dodge them, he commenced a series of
ground and lofty tumbling, that would
have done honor to a tight rope dancer.
His wife being awakened in the meantime,
and seeing old Peyton jumping and slop
ping about the yard, called out to him
to know 'what in the name of sense he
was doin' out thai daucin' around without
i
; his clothes on.' But Peyton heard not
j the judgment, and the long and black ac-
i count he would have to settle made him
heedless of all terrestrial things, aud his
wife by this time becoming alarmed at
his strange behaviour, sprang out of bed,
and runniug to the door, shrieked out at
the top of her lungs
'Peyton, I say Peyton, what do you
mean juinI'5n' out tbar Corae in aud
put your trowsers on.

Meddling with others sometimes brings

his (the elder's) chagrin, out rolled a quart
of slicll-barks on the floor, making more
noise than was consistent with the rules
of the church.
" Man," quietly responded the young
ster, composedly, "see wliat you have

Passages in Gen. Scott's History
The libellers of Henry Clay have al
ready commenced libelling WINFELD
SCOTT. We present below ccrtainacs,
which will serve to show what is the man
whom Locofocos arc calumniating :
In 1834, when South Carolina was
threatening the dissolution of the I
nion, and Gen. Jackson was threatening
t to hang those of her citizens who would
not submit to the collection of duties at
Charleston, Gen. Scott was selected

occasion, won, as many will remember,
the highest encomiums from all classes of
the American people. On his return, the
citizens oi Albany and the legislature ol
New York tendered him a public supper,
which was accepted. Gov. Marcy, then
as now a prominent Locofoco and recent-
, , ,. j-j i i.
ly a leading candidate for nomination for
the Presidency, presided. The following
are among the regular toasts on the oc-
casion :
" Winfield Scott Xot less the scholar

have been wielded with equal skill in the
defence of his country."

" The soldier Who has ever made the

being, true to the South, I consider him
the most unexceptionable man on that

Such, in substance, we understand,was
the reply of a brave and gallant old sold

abused companion in arms was asked.
We have before heard that these were the
sentiment3 of Gov. Quitman. If we mis
take not, there is a gentleman in this city,
(a Democrat,) and another at Holly
Springs, Mississippi, who served with
GoV. Q in the Mexican war, to whom,
some months since, he-made declarations
almost identical with the foregoing. This
testimony, from one of the highest Dem
ocratic sources, taken in connexion with
Gen. Scott's hearty, unqualified, and en
thusiastic approval of the Whig platform,
j (which it is nowAz?i ami palpable to thc
world is sounder, stronger, and more just
to the SouUi, on sectional questions, that
the Democratic platform) these facts,we
say, ought to be, and we doubt not will
be, satisfactory not only to all Whig3 but
to every man in the country.
