This sneer at the honest poverty of the old patriot met with the fellowing pung ent retort from the Baltimore Chronicle: "The poverty of Gen Harrison, ho %%icy I er he may be reproached with it by his op ponents, is the result of his honesty.— Placed by the country, in various respon sibile situations, he hiul ample oppurtuni ty, had he felt so disposed, to practice up on the modern democratic principle, (to amass sufficient wealth to have translated him :,from his 'log cabin,' to a palace, and to have substituted for 'hard cidet' the most expensive wines. His opioion. how ever, was that honesty is always the best policy —he scorned to tine his pockets at the expense of his integrity; and for this he is sneered at with contempt. As to the proposed pension of ti. o thousand a year we can only say, that it lung and faithful services—if rigid and honorable dis charge of duty, and the purest patriotism, deserve the remembrance of his country men General Harrison is entitled to the universal gratitude of the nation. He has not complained of the rigor of his destiny, in being compelled to pass from youth to age in poverty--he has nut peti tioned for two thousands year, but he had no right to anticipate that past devo tion to the best interests of his country would be forgotten or despised, because he had not taken advantage of his situation to plunder his fellow cttizens. A modern peculator may jeer him for his preference of honesty !to wealth —but the inclustrt ous portion of the community, who live by their own labors, will not reject inns for supportiug himself by personal exer tion, instead of pilfering when lie had the opportunity.

Hence the oppuAtion to Jackson was raised to the chair, the open and avowed advocate of that truly ticmo critic prineii.le; and w'r'en elected, the tride of rational glory, and the love of Lower, was too great a temptation; and he fell before the tempter. It was at et.a of the favorite princ.ipleh of the immin tal Jefferson. that the inel. I , gibility of a President for a second !um, sholld be grafted upon oar consti• tuition.

The unprincipled and venal who ate too often the recipients of execus live favor, when once surrounded with the rower of ofiice, wield everything which circumstance hasgiven them to re-instate their master knowing that they, thus secure to themselves the spoils of party and the plunder cf office. In another part of our paper will be Mond "Gen Ilarrison's creed;" and it will be seen, that he m a letter to lion liar mar Denny, unreservedly avows himself the advocate of that truly Democratic measure.

"SIR--In answer to your ingdiry made in your letter of the 29th ult., 1 repeat the declaration I have often before made, that it' elected President of the U.

HARRISON There is a frankness, anti open hamlet' candor, worthy the patriot of North Bend —There is no beating about the bush,— no splitting hairs, no fine drawn notions of ?ilicy, written to bait any thing, or noth ing, but with the sAtlier's bluntness ( we might say) in the simplest syle, that he who runs may read; he says, that "no circumstances'' could make him change his views. Ile is in favor of ONE TERM and no more.; The people should remember ths; and laid all their aid to secure his election. flow different would be the state of our country. Now a man asks for office, not because he is honest and capable, but, be cause lie can bring into the po'itical field, a band :'of unprincipled myrmidons, who are willing to sacrifice every thing upon the shrine of party. lie who will spend Ids money freest—he who will electio.teer Iloutlest, and most; and in fact, he that ca o 41:3 the most for the party, is the favor ite or' power; and why ? because he can, and w 4:l use every means, no matter how corrupt, La. secure that man the power, who secures to him the plunder.

'Oh ye! who sunk in beds of down, Ferl not a w ant, but what yourst.lves cre ate, Think for a moment on his wretched fate, Whom friends and fortune quite disown: satisfied, keen nature's clam'rous call Stre ch'd on his straw, he lays himself to sleep, While through the ragged roof and chinky wall Chill o'er his slumbers, piles the drifty heap!' Remember the poor, is the language of humanity; and when the heart becomes so callous . that it forgets the sufferings, and wants, of its fellows, it deserves not the name of human. Be it ever so har dened against the cries of the needy. Yet we can tell it, that He who "hears the young eagles when they cry," will some day write, even (HI that heart, in a lan guage of wo, that it can feel, that he who drives the sunring from his door, may appeal in vain to the consolations of kindred, or his heaps of gold. Mow many even in this our land of plenty, crouch, upon their 'pallets of st.•aw. while the he• dious phantom of want fleets o'er their dreams, and they wake to greet with tears, the reality of his presence. Think, but for one moment, ye suns of pride and affluence. What happy smiles —what beta felt thanks—what tears of joy, the crumbs which fall from your ta ble, can bring, from starving mortals, fashioned like you by the same hand, and after His own image. Dream not that you can lull your consciences by the thought: that it js his falt_that he suffers. 'Tis vain!
