The PEOPLE have triumphed, the NA LION is free. OLD TIP Swept the Board. It is now an historical fact that the re• suit of the recent contest has proved the most 131entlid triumph of Democracy ev er obtained over the trained bands of the Federal party now in power. The mo ney of the nation and promises of place and power were used to defeat the voice of the People—calumny, fraud and cur uptien, were more than ever put in re quisition—but to no avail. The People in their sovereign majesty have called their servants to an account,--Democra- . cy rejoices in the triumphant election of Wiliam Henry Harrison for President, and John Tyler for Vice President of the lJuited States. Look at the returns, fel low citizens—East, West, North and South,—all have come to swell the tri umphs of Democracy. As 'we anticipa ted the popular majority for Harrison is the largest ever given to any President since the days of Washington. We rejoice in the victory that has been achieved—not from personal feeling a lone, but from the fact that the People have still an abiding faith in the true principles of the Old School. It fully de monstretes that •when the People govern they can & will peaceably overthrow any attempts to encroach upon their liberties under whatever garb such attempts may be made—that though they may have been deluded fur a season with the name of Democracy, they have seen their er ror, and in the spirit of Democracy. they rally awl overthrow the base counterfeit, and choose a relic of the revolution to en sure the re-establishment of the glorious principles that have actuated the sires! of our Country. Gen Harrison was no partizan candidate, but he was the Pro,. ple's choice—he has no partizan prefer ences to gratify, but when the time ar t ives he will assume the duties of Chief Magistrate of this great nation, determi ned only 011 making it what it was inten ded it should ever be "Great, Glorious and tee."---Lo u ring Slar. A BLOODY TRAGEDY. -- The Jlive Branch of the 13th ult., published at Monroe, La., cnntains the account of a fatal and bloody recentre which lately occurred in Bayou Mason, in the Pari,h of Carroll. The particulars we•e given to the editor of the Olive Branch by a gentleman from Lake Providence: It appears that suspicions had long been entertained of a secret association of rob bers on Island No. 92, in the Mississippi. 'lke whole country was rite with accounts of their depredations. After the late murder of a Mr. Webb, on Bayou Mason, it became the determination of the people to use every means for their extermina tion. One of the clan, a man by the name ut Laverty, was known to be at the house of Garret P. Rollins, on the Bayou, and was extensively known as a negro thief. Mr. Win. A. Coleman, depu iy sheriff of Carroll, determined to arrest him, and for that purpose started in coin patty with three others, in pursuit, On arriving near the house they seperated, Coleman and. one of the men going in front, and the other two to the back part. Laverty, in the meantime, had been infor med that there was a warrant out for him, and when he spied Coleman and his com panions nearing. the house, he snatched up a double barrelled gun and rushed to the d Colman commanded him to surrender. He then asked Colman it' he intended to shoot him. Colman replied that unless he surrendered he most certainly would. At this instant they both raised their guns and fired so nearly together that the dif ference could scarcely be distinguished. Colman was shot with a double barrelled gun, and fell dead on the spot, one buck shot entering his throat, another his chin, and twelve just below the nose. Laver. ty was shot with two rifle balls, botk en tering on the left side, one just below the nipple, and the the other about two inches to the right a little above. He did no. lail i but grasped his gun with a desperate irmness, and attempted to cock the utile? lrrel. Ile was then fired on by ;,Col .can's companion, who missing him, ru hed forward and hnocked him mown vith the butt of his gun. At this instant ne of the men who had gone to to tht tick part of the house came up, and pitt ing the muzzle of his gun against Lay- Tty's head, fired, scattering his brains aver the yard. The neighbors soon as embled under a great deal of excitement, hole was dug in the earth, and Laverty, xis boots, hat and all were pitched in anti covered up. A POETESS GONE.--• We notice in the papers the marriage of Miss Catherine H. Waterman, the poetess. She is a gifted' young woman, and it she can concoct a good pudding, as readily as she ct.n a good poem, we envy the fortunate gentleman that has secured her for a companion.— Times. EXCESS OF MODESTY.—The New Or leans Nativc American says that a young gentleman, lately bathing in the Missis sippi river, on observing suing ladies sod denly approaching, instantly drowned himself from motives of extreme delicacy.

BRANDRETIeS PILLS.—This medicine is acknowledged to be one of the most va luable ever discovered, as a purifier of the blood and &in. It is superior to Sarsa parilla whether as a sudorific or altera tive, and stands infinitely before all the preparations and combinations of Mercury Its purgative properties are alone of in calculable value, for these pills may be taken daily for any period, and instead of weakening by the cathartic effect, they add strength by taking away the cause of weakness. They have none of the miser, able effects of that deadly specific Mercu• ry. The teeth are not injured—the bones and limbs are not paralysed—no; but instead of these distreesing symptoms, new life and consequent animation is evi dent in every movement of the body. Brandreth's Pills sae indeed a universal remedy; because they cleanse and put ify the blued. Five years this medicine has been before the public in the United States wherever it has been introduced, it bas, superseded all other remedies. Dr. B.
