'Round the tried host with painted brow, With stealthy step and perjured vow, The sullen savage came, The deadly rifle's fatal era , k.

And round the gallant Harrison, The hall bewildered soldier run, To the scenes of death and wo, The struggle doubtful—long and far Was heard the whoop, and loud huzza, In mingled horror rise. The frightful yell—the plantive moan, Th. fiendish scream—the dying groan, Ascended to the skies. The struggle ceased—the morning broke, And many an eye their ne'er awoke To see their banner furled.

BENEDICT PUBLISHER AND PROPRIETOR. gziqqifi TRIUMPHANT ;INDICATION OF GEN. HARRISON , The malignant, profligate followers of Van Buren have publiell their calumnies against Gen Harrison, a point too fart Villiany has finally punished itself. They now stand-impeached by the testimony of their OWN WITNESS. 'l•he enemies of our Candidate, from a drunken, vagabond Van Buren Senator, to a coarse "roaring" Van Buren mem ber of the House of Representatives, have been loud and impudent in their charges of "Cowardice" against Gen liar risen. Collar organs asserted that he was not within five miles of the battle of the Thames (Jul. Johnson was quoted as authority for charging , •Co,iartlice" against his old Commander. The action ,drels at last went so far as to embody this charge in a reported speech of Col. !Johnson. This overt act has brought the "rascals to the block, (Jul Johnion, in a manner alike honorable to himself and to Gen Harrison, has nailed the lie to the counter. His letter shows him to be just as he is known to be brave. Though rum fling on a ticket against Gen Harrison, Col Johnson has indignantly repelled the calumny which sought to tarnish the fame ul one who encountered with him the on vations and perils of War, arid is enti tled like him, to the confidence and grati tude of the people. [From the Cincinnati Republican.] COL. JOHNSON AT CHILLICOTHE. We expressed the otherday our strong convictions that Col. Johnson could not have been correctly reported in the speech at Chillicothe, which was contained in the Chillicothe Advertiser of the 9th inst. and in proof of our having just grounds for this belief, we are gratified in the op portunity of spreading the following cor respondence before our readers. It is well known in Kentucky, as in this State, that Major Carneal is proba bly on terms of great intimacy with both Gen Harrison and Col Johnson than any individual in the west. His conduct in the following correspondence adds to the claims which his service as a Quarter Master under Gen Harrison in 1812, and as a Senator of Kentucky, give him to public respect: CINCINNATI, Aug 24, 1840. Dear Sir—lt was my object, if practi cable, in addressing the enclosed letter to Col Johnson, to prevent any unpleas ant feelings beta een two gallant officers of the late war, who, from my own per sonal knowledge, entertain high respect for each other .

RH. M. JOHNSON. • MAJ. Tun. D.. CARNEAL. KEEP• IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE That Martin Van Buren opposed the war of 1812, and did all he could do to defeat the election of the patriotic Madi son, thus showing to the world, love of Federal doctrines and his hatred of De, tuocracv. KEEP It' BEFORE THE PEOPLE. 'Flint at the time when the fleets of England plundered our ships, and impres• sed our seamen, the thoughts of Martin Van Buren were still in favor of peace, thus showing the inherent cowardice of his suffering fellow citizens. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE. That Martin Van Buren, in the Con vention to amend the Constitution of N. York, made a speech in favor of a proper. ty qualification, and urged in justification of excluditi Revolutionary soldiers from the right olsutfrage, that it made no diff erence bow unjust it might appear to the old veterans, who would all be (lead in the course of fifteen years. KEEP IT BEEURE THE PEOPLE. That Martin Van Buren holds the aria. tocratic doctrine, that property alone, not talent or usefulness to society, qualifies a man to have a voice in the choice of their rulers. .KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE. That the whole of the 27 foreign mon archies from which Mr. Van Buren asks direction how be shall administer the af fairs of the republic, approve of his princi• ples and would rejoice, should he succeed in reducing the people of the only free na tinn on earth toa level with their own obedient and degraded subjects. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE. That Van Buren has confessed in his last annual message, that twenty -two of the despotic Kings and Emperors of Eu rope, approved fully of the Sub. Treasury scheme, by which three-fourths o f the peo ple's earnings will be transferred to the pockets of the office holders. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE. That Martin Van Buren is, at this mo ment, to all intents and purposes, a mon arch, wanting only the power to prevent the people from expressing their disappro bation of his iniquitous designs. KEEP 11 BEFORE THE PEOPLE. That he is now exerting his energies to obtain this power by creating a standing army of two hundred thousand men, to be used fur the purpose of putting down all "combinations," or, in other words, •con ventions" of the people, thereby violating the Constitution, which guarantees to all citizens the right, peaceably to assemble and take measures to have those grievan ces redressed.—RVe. EXTRACT FROM TILE SPEECH OF DANIEL WEBSTER, DELIVERED AT SARATOGA, N. Y. It appears to some persons, that a Freat deal too much use is made of the signal of the Log Cabin. No man of sense sup • poses, certainly, that he having lived in a Log Cabin is any further proof of qualifi cation for the Presidency, than as it cre• ates a presumption that any one who, from humble condition, or under unfavora ble circumstances, has been able to attract a considerable degree of public attention, is possessed of reputable qualities, incest and intellectual. Bat it is to be remembered, that this matter of the Log Cabin originated, not with the friends of the Whig candidate, but with his enemies. Soon after his nom inatioti at Harrisburg, a writer fur one of the leading Administration papers spoke of this "Log Cabin," and his use of "hard cider," by way of sneer and reproach. As might have been expected, for pretenders are generally false, this taunt at fumble lira proceeded from the party which claims fur itself the character of the purest de mocracy. The whole party appeared to enjoy it, or at !east they countenanced it, by silent acquiesence ; for I do nut know that, to this day, any eminent individual, or any leading newspaper, attached to the Administration, has rebuked this scornful jeering at the supposed huml.le condition or circumstance in life, past or present, of a worthy man and w•ar-worn soldier. But it touched a tender point in the pub • lic feeling. It naturally roused indigna tion. What was intended as reproach, was immediately seized on, as merit.-- "Be it so—be it so," was the instant burst of the public voice. "Let him be the Log Cabin candidate. What you say in scorn, we will shout with all our lungs ; from this day we hive our cry of rally, and we shall see whether he, who has dwelt in one of the rude abodes of the West may not become the best house in the coun tryy!. _ _ - All this is natural, and springs from sources of just feeling. Other things, gentlemen, have had a similar origin.....- We all kn •w that the term . Whig," was bestowed in derision, two hundred years ago, on those who were thought too fond of liberty; and our national air of Yankee Doodle was composed by British officers, in ridicule of the American troops. Yet, ere long, the last of the 13ritish armies laid down its arms at Yorktown, while this same air was playing in the ears of officers and men. Gentlemen, it is only shallow-minded pretenders, who either make distinguished origin matter of per sonal merit, or obscure origin matter of personal reproach. Taunt and scoffing at the humble condition of early life, of fect nobody in this country, but those who are foolish enough to indulge in them, and they are generally sufficiently punished by public rebuke. A man who is not ashamed of himself, need not be ashamed of his early condition. It did not happen to me to be born in a Lon CABIN ; hut my elder Brothers and Sisters were born in a Log Cabin, raised on the frozen frontiers of New-Hampshire, at a period so early, as that when the smoke first ruse train its rude chimney, there was no similar evidence of a white man's habitation between it and the set tlements on the rivers of Canada. Its remains still exist. I have filial love and duty enough to make to it au annual visit. I carry my children to it, to inspire like sentiments in them, and to teach them the hardships endured by the generations which have gone before them. I love to dwell on the tender recollections, the kin. Bred ties, the early affections, which min gle themselves with all I know of this humble primitive family abode. I weep to think that none of those who inhabited it are now among the living; and if I am ever ashamed of it, or if I ever fail in af fectionate veneration for hint who rear. , d it, and defended it from civ3g., vio!cm .., [WitoLi: No. 2EO and destruction, &wristlet! all the domes tic virtues tinder its roof, and through the fires and blood of a i.t.ven years' Revolu tionary War, shrunk from no danger, no toil, no sacrifice, to serve his country, and to raise his children to u ecodition hotter 'than his own, may my name, and the name of my posterity, be forever blotted iron► the memory of mankind. The Past and the Future.—When Mr Van Buren was elected President, he re. ceived 170 electoral votes-Ll4B being ne cessary for a choice. Of this number the following states gave him 74 votes, viz: New York Connecticut Rhode Island 4 North Carolina 15 Louisiana 5 Quere.
