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

Surely there is error in this thing. Divest
ynurreives bui e moment, of die excite•
went (we hail almost said or the phrenz))
which allow your party attachments and
animosities to engender ; assume the cool
and generous frame of mind which so well
befits the free and enlightened citizen,(and
such you are) and calmly answer the in

Paled and pitiable dotard?" 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:

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

In the war of 1811, and that which
commenced in 181 4 2, I received almost a

PROFITS OF A PIG.
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

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

FOR THE JOURNAL
IDLENESS.
Same people complain they have nothing
to do,
And time passes slowly away;
They saunter about with no object in view,
And lung for the end of the day.
In vain are their riches, their honor or birth.
They nothing can truly enjoy;
They're the most wretched people that lire
on the earth,
For want of some pleasant employ.
When folks have no need to work for their,
bread,
And indolent always have been;
It never SO much as comes into their head,
That wasting their time is a sin.
But man was created for useful employ,
From earth's first creation till now;
And 'Lis good tor h is health, his comfort and
To jive by the sweat of his brcrr.
