I i If we did not -:atertain a high respect ' fur the papers fro,. which we have made n the foregoing quotations, ions, we would avoid I, the liabilities to which we know we are ex- I, posing ourselves when we take exceptions to these expressions. But it is precisely because we esteem them influential anti worthy journals. that we are nit at liberty to forbear the objections which we have against them, or the imputation of a fault finding dispositmn. Can it be, brethren, that the cause which you espouse, the principles you advocate, or the success even of the man whom you • prefer, can only be secured by the so' of such means as this?—Are the truth and the beauty of republicanism to be established by detractorf assertions of individual char acted Are Mr. Pan . portres elainal t o the respect And confidence if tle people, and his title to the highest Timor of the p bloc serv;reipoaly to he maireai id, or in any degree as4isted by costuni-lious trea,:nzen; of his rio ,, ls rn pnp.l.tr favor?

Yourselves will answer—anti that not on compulsion —political aspirations out of view, ”ur selves will answer most !rankly, he is a tried patriot and a worthy citizen; ay, 'seven times tried is he'—in the ordeals of fire and water. While yet a stripling, you will say, he-' gave himself to the arduous service of his country; he exchanged the joys and the family and home, for the hard-I sh':A of a dreary wilderness and a savage enemy. For fUrty years thenceforward,' did he devote himself id the service of his country; in peace and in v.ZIr. in danger and security, in the camp and the closer, in the Senate and in the battle did he serve that country in true fealty and untarnished honor until, even now, grown grey in the hard service which has brought him nothing but a glorious repu tation and a conscience void of offence against the obligations of patriotism, he stands in his old ar, among the millions who surround him, a an ,de l oVal pu rity and uncorruped,lategrity. Anti this, is the toil-worn soldier awl honored cit izen who is described as a tsuperanuated and pitiable dotard,' and a 'petticdat Gen era!: I, Brethren, if we believe another• to be the better statesman, let us say so. If we think the aged patriot entertains opinions and sentiments adverse to the important interests of our country, let us canvass unreservedly those sentiments and opin ions,—but in the name of humanity and gratitude, let us not taunt the war worn veteran with the decrepitude of years, which come to all human kind, nor touch with rude, unfeeling hand, his hard earn ed garlands, won on many a bloody field, where brave inn fought. Gentlemen, : there is a vast differeirze between the goose quill and the dcath•dcaling sword —a mighty contrast between the sufferin e ,el and the dangers of a tented liold, and the soft and easy life of a critic who depises it. When under the impulse of political acerbity, one feels prone to disparage the just claims of Gen. Harrison to the con sideration of the People, there are two circumstances, the recollection of which ()light, it would seem, to arrest the incipi ent purpose. It should be remembered, in the first place, that the two years have just gone by, when a majority of the citi zens of Ohio would have raised him to the loftiest post of responsibility and honor— and that such aft expression of popular opinion is entitled to some weight, in esti• matin4 individual character. And in the second place, let it not be forgotten, (by future generations it will not be) that from the service of the State, continuing throt all the active years ot• a lengthened life, he retires in poverty. When the fact be•l comes so common as no longer to be re markable, let his count. ymen cease to hold it as a token of IlAttar:.oN's worth ; but while as yet it remains the solitary instance, save one, in which the love of money has been totally lost iii th- noble love of coutt• try and how let it It: acknowledged a: the proudest it inn nent of his greatness, and the best memorial of his virtue.

Hat rison—a position and relation not as.uincil at pleasure— nor at pleasure to t•e altered--we should consoler ourself unworthy of Cie country whose institutions we both love, which he has contributed so much to cherish and preserve, if we could be unmindful of his distinguished intuit, or treat with disres- pect his high claims upon the gratitude and contillence of hie coanti.yinen. North Bend, Oct. 18, 1839 DEAR SIR: 'lto article you write iu reply to sonic abusive remarks, made up on me by the editors of two of the Gino newspapers, is sill going the rounds of publication in the journals o of the At lantic cities. It is at least once a week brought to my notice; and yet I have de-, laved to execute the intention I formed when I first saw it--to express, in a let. ter to you, my deep sense of gratitude for • the exalted tortes in which you have been pleased to speak of me, and my adinira thin of the generosity and niialeness of soul which prompted you to become my defender under the circumstances in which you stand in ; relation , to tho-.e by whom I was assailed. I can give no (All ier reaoon for the delay than the appre 'tension, that I wiould nut be able proprly to express my feelings on an oc,asion where they lad been strongly excited. They are, I trust, such as they oug::t. be--and such as a heart like yours will readily believe to exist in the bosom of. another, who owes a debt of gratitude; that he despairs of ever being able to re-" y, Sat, however highly I may value the approbabion, coining from a coerce.' the purity of which DO one can doubt, can. dur obliges me to say that you have done me More than justice, in attributing to me uncommon in,rit in my disintsi,stcd management of the public hinds submit ted to my control, and its the execution of the important poweri with which I • have been clothed, at dill:went times, by ' the Government of die U. States. s tt regards the first, how could I act otherwise, considering the tutorage re ceived in my youth, and which is com mon to all brought up in the part of the country from which we both come? f here were circumstances in my situation, too, which would have rendered the guilt of any derelectiun of duty in me of deeper die than in most of the other public ofli cers; /diode to the great confidence (man nested by the extraordinary powers con ferred upen ire) reposed in me by the great statesmen and patriots under whom' it was try good fitrtune to act. Take a sample or two: I was Governor of Indi ana; (at the time it comprised what is now Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wiscon sin;) ex-officio Superintendent of Indian Alnirs, and by the constitution, (the or diance) vested with the power to appoint all the officers, (and undea the first grade.) to lay off counties and fix seats of justice. Under the second, a complete control over the Legislature. I was inoreove, vested, by a law of Congress, with a complete control over the public (loin:tin at Vincennes, and in the Illinois country, for the settlement of all the claims to laud ,made by the 'French and Governmeuts, or by courts or com mandants claiming the r...tht to make such grants, the whole of the land so granted, or as much thereof as ntiOt appear to me to be reasonable and just"§ —llith -these great powers in toy hands, ['resident Jef lemon, in 14(14, sent toe a commission, constituting me sole Commissioner for treating with tine North western tribes, with the power to draw for any money / 'night think necessary fur the accomplish-; tnent of tiie objects committed to toe. My compensation was fix at Sti per dim and aiy expensos, when 1 was acting as Com missioner, but/ was left entirely to my self to determine when I should be con sidered as acting under commission, or the ordinary one of Superintendent. I hope I erred on the right side. I have no means near me of ascertaining the whole :mount of compensation charged fur the thirteen treaties / negociatcd, in the courso of the eleven years that I acted un der this commission; I ant persuaded however, that it did not exceed $4, OCU, at moo. 85,000. As soon as Licisiaaa was acquired, 1 was made by a law of Congress, (at the suggestion of Mr. Jefferson,) ex-officio Governor of 'Upper Louisiana.' /do not p , isitively know his mieive for this ship hr orrangement. But Ido know, toot he had it much to heart to convince the inhabitants of the newly acquired teritory of our Government and lie corrupt one they li, Ino long soft , r d under.

Mr. Ilohne3e—As you have requested farmers to give you some account of their pradtice in the var:tas farming operations ' the past summer, 1 will take the liberty to intrude a few observations upon the no tice of your readers. Although I sin not nugaged in farming, it has been my bus iness until within two years, and as I 'earned while employed in it, a little 01 the profit of keeping a pig and cultivating a good garden, and dolma the last year have had no stock but my hug to depend oa for manure for my garden. 1 have sup plied him with material and kept him at work pretty diligently in preparing the manure for that purpose, and 1 think I have ~been abutoianily rewarded for all my pains; l'or the manure he has made IP wurih double the amout that has been laid out for his keeping, besides the slops he had from the kileillnle But there is one thing about puttin7 hog manure upon a garden, that perhaps is not so generally understood us it should be, and that is to have every particle of it well and thoroughly mixed with the soil. It is a very strung manure and should never be suffered to come in comma wi!li die roots of vegetables, in its rank state. One advantage l have round this year, that I have never before been freed hum, and that is, my vegetables have not been eat eit by the worms or maggots, while many ti thow in my neighturs' gardens have 'teen nearly destr,,) ed. I have fur sever al years, had my onions rained by ma g gots—ahout hall an iuch lung with a black head-111,y tumnieuced then depreda tions about the time the onions were as 1 1 urge as the top of your finger, and a do• lien or twenty wouiti inhabit one plant. But the last season I raised some that were extraordinary large rod fair. I can . attribute my success in this particular to nothing eise but the use of hug manure. Some have said that cabbages would not smut upon laud situ/lured with hog slung, out I found no difficulty on this pMnt, and I raised us good ones this ye:a as I ever did, but I will again repeat, that I took a great deal of pains in mixing it thorouply and perfectly, wtth the soil. clie articles raised in my garden.
