Read them fel • low citizens. They are letters which have been c•slled out by the unfounded, and wicked slanders that have been ut-1 tered against their long loved and rever ed General. They were by his side, in the camp, and in the field—in the quiet of his tent, and in the battle's deadliest strife. They speak of him as they saw him, and knew him; and brand as liars and defamers, the whole troop of hero fuco editors. We commend to the editor of the Standard, the careful perusal of Mr. Smith's letter. He belongs to the same party, but he rebukes such men in lan guage that the mos t hardened must feel. Selling White Men. There is hardly a Luco Foco paper comes to hand now, which is not filled with that oft told, and oft proven false hood, that Gen. Harrison voted to sell poor white debtors for their debts. Those who have taken notice of the facts in the case, are well aware that no such vote was ever given by General Harrison. Wit the opposite party knowing that Van Buren did vote in finer of negro suffrage, seek to create some slander against old Tip, which shall be equally disgraceful. We need no other contradiction of the matter, than this fact, the very State in which the vole was said to have been giv en, goes by acclamation for him. In order, however, that the honest and truth-lovii.g Van Buren men may see what' efforts are making to injure him, who hue spent nearly a life time lighting for these very poor men, which the tongue of slan der says he voted to sell, we extract the Following from an Ohio paper. They car there see what he did vote fur; and wha' kind ()linen those must be, who tuisrep resent his vote. Here it is. "We say again and again, fur the in formation of distant readers, that the law on which Harrison voted had nothing to do with debts nor debtors. It was no part of our civil code. 'lt related solely to the punishment of SCOUNDRELS and ROGUES, of like character with •hose who circulate this calumny, such as ... break into their neighbor's houses at night to steal and plunder—such as burn hay stacks, kill horses and cattle, remove land marks, obtain money by false pretences, destroy bridges, break down tomb stories, rob the graves of the dead, live in a state of lornication, assist prisoners to escape from justice, &c. It had no connection with the debts nor the business of an hon est man. FELONS and VILLAINS alone came within its cognizance, and none but a FELON'S or a VILLAIN'S heart could be so base as to attribute to a valiant and faithful poor old soldier like Harrison, a design to: . sell Ida poor neighbor fur debt!! I ran have no chari ty for such men—l mean such as have seen the law, or are acquainted with the true facts of the ^ase." The Difference "Strange that such difference there shout be "Fwixt tweedle dum and tweedle dee." The party paper of this town, seems to be quite well satisfied about the re-, sumption Bill, which gives the Banks un til January '4l to resume ; and even goes so tar as to say that the time has nothing to do with the principle ; and that all will now goon brillrely., Now, the ...Standard" takes the matter quite to heart, and blusters around like an old hen, and says "we have been shame• fully disappointed, decieved, and betray. ed," and says farther, "such total aban donment of prinaiple, has rarely bven witnessed." Is it not really strange, that there should be so great a difference between the two papers of this coon ty. We told the people that it - th cy tl ought the party would do the things they promised, that they would find themse lees "shame/illy disappointed, decievel and betrayed." Did .we not speak truely ? And now the two organs are playing different tunes to suit the ears of all. The regular An ti-Bank-LocosFocos, think there is still hope in the party, when he reads the "Standard;" sod the Porter-Bank•Loco Foco exults and rejoices, that the whole party cannot be called destructives. No one, not acquainted with the facts, would suppose they belong to the same party— yet here they are, one blowing hot and the other cold; and both fighting for what they call principle. We are led to think that about equal portions of the party press, are allotted different spheres of action. The "Stan dard," must nurse and dress up their ban. tling humbug about Aristocratic Banks: and dandle, and show it off, so that if it really proves worth raising, they can have it for further use, or perhaps, be cause they fear they can get nothing else to bamboozle, and gull the honest and unsuspecting ‘vith; Or if for nutting else to keep such as they hay: already deluded into their fallacies to still cling to that party which has so "shamefully disap pointed, decieved, and betrayed them." While to the "Advocate" has been allot ted the less important part, of playing in to the stock-holding hypocrites, who have • hollowed so loudly against the Banks, but are always faithful; because bsionging to the first rank, they always get the offi ces, and or course the plunder. It works admirably; each one has hold of the han dle of the cross-cut, and between, they saw into the people's treasure, and pock et the dust. We ask the honest People of this coup• ty if they cannot see that we speak the truth. Have they nut contended fur and against almost every thing which they called principle ? Have they made stock holders liable for Bank notes ? Did they not promise it 1 Have they made the Banks resume 1 Did they not prom ise it 7 (lave they reduced the number of officers on the public woiltsl Did they not promise it 1 Have they not bro ken every pledge given I Did they not promise to fulfill them ? And this, fel low citizens, is called Democracy Oh Democracy what deeds are performed in thy name ! That name, synonimous with' the interest, the welfare, and the love of the people. Is hut the watch word to ri ot upon their treasures—desolate their farms, and silence their work shops. How long will a Ref oblican people sub mit to such infamy 1 We ask them new, we shall expect their answer at the ballot box. The Canal. It seems from the last Advocate, that our remarks relative to the condition of the canal, have aroused the anger of the redoubtable writers for that valuable sheet. NVe are nut disposed to bandy hard words with any of the numerous troop, who endite the editorials fur that print. Yet to show them that we still wield our gray goose quill lest as fearlessly as usu al, we cannot but give them a passing kirk, by way of hint. The Advo-mte says, 'that we circulate stories about the interuption of the navi gation, when the boats were passing our town before the editor's (om ). eyes." A plain and unequivocal falsehood, concoc ted in the addled brain of the writer. Ev ery - sylable we said was true! and the in dividual who would say that there was no interuption in the canal, at the places and' times we named, can hardly be an accoun table being; for he that would thus cooly menu facture a falsehood, and relate it fur truth, when he knew better, and when ev ery man and boy in the street knew it al so, must clearly be devoid of the attribute or immortality—reason. • The repeated breaches that we enumerated, did occur; and the navigation was closed at that point for weeks, ()Wing, as we firmly believe, to the incapacity of the officers—and boats did not pass that point at all. It is truss that on Wednesday, the day after our pa per was printed, a few of the fastest lime boats did arrive at our town, having pas sed the breach, which is stated•in the Ad. vacate, in another article; thus proving what we said. The same. paper then proceeds to sa that "a great yirt of the work done by Whittaker, had to be rebuilt"— not on* word of which Is true. Mr. Price, wts bye the bye, is a man, araiits intelligen , and capable officer, will not say that h • rebuilt any of Mr. Whittaker's work. True indeed that one of the abutments o one Of the dams, built under Mr. IVliitta. ker, gave way, owing to some cause Mad none could divine; and that Mr. Price fil led it up with stone an.l earth, and secu red the navigation until this day; and f which lie is yet to receive the songs e praise (which are raised about every mud hole that in mended , by some of th others, who less capable, less industrious and less honest) by the blow horn of tin. Advocate. Even in the very article hen alluded to, Price is named— and that is all While the division under Mr. Woods, ii " particularly" good. Aye, that's th word! Notwithstanding Mr. Price ha his whole division on that part of the ca nal, that was examined by Porter himself and pronounced in a very dangerous con dition. Yet the price of his exertions none of the adulation from "the party,' or the press in town—yet every day sendi forth a hallelujah about Mr. IVoods,,—. That is all well enough! Mr. Woods m'a;l merit, or perhaps demand, such praist De may enjoy all the honor which is deri ved from it. We have never bestoweil one word of censure upon him; nor shat we, while he keeps within hi s sphere official duty. We have no cause to cen sure his sonduct. Every day tells us tha the course of some officers, is more bene ficial to tire opposite party, than the our to which they might be attached. Ye why is it that Mr. Price, Messrs. Morrell and the other contractors get none of th Advocate's showers of damning praise; i it not a little strange? Don't you thin. so? Againesthe same paper reiterates it thrice told falsehood about Mr. Whitta ker's "holding SIOOO of the Common wealth's money for comer .speculalion: Why does nut the Commonwealth prose cute Mr. %V hittaker, if your story is true Corner speculations indeed.
