Democratic Harrison
SMI T E COI" PEA TIOA .
The members of the Democratic Harrison party
of Pennsylvania—those who unite with them as
in the achievement of that glorious political
victory in 1840, the result of which was the elec
tion of that pure, venerated and much lamented
patriot, GENERAL WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON,
to the Presidental Chair—those who have hitherto
consistently battled for " the Supremacy of the
Laws," who are opposed to all mysteries, whether
of the Government or otherwise, which are inacces
sible to the public eye—those who are opposed to
favored classes and monopolies either of office or
power—those who are tired of experiments upon
the Cornmerce, Manufactures and currency of the
country, and all others who are convinced of the
'necessity of so reforming the abuses of the State
and National Government as to secure their prompt,
'faithful, economical'and energetic administration,
with a strict accountability to the people, on the
~,trt of those by whom they are administered, are
requested by the State Central Committee of the
Dernocatic Harrison party, to meet in their several
Counties and Districts, and in conformity with
former usages, to elect Delegates in proportion to
the number of Senators and Representatives in the
State Legislature from such Counties and Districts
to a STATE CONVENTION to be held at Harrisburg
on MONDAY, the 4th day of MARCH nedt, at
12 o'clock, M., to nominate a suitable candidate
or Governor, to be supported by the friends of good
order at their next General Election, and to do such
other acts and things as may be deemed necessary.
The several County Committees will be careful
to give the proper notices in their respective counties.

Meath of Judge Porten
The Now Orleans Crescent City, of the 18th
ult., has the following:
We regret having to announce the death of
Judge Porter, which melancholy event took place
at his plantation in the parish of St. Mary on the
13th. He was a native of Ireland, a man of abili
ties, formerly a member of the State Legislature,
Judge of our Supreme Court, and at the time of his
death a member of the U. S. Senate. Ho was about
fifty-eight years of age, thirty-three of which he had
resided in Louisiana."
RESTORATION or Mn. SenActrv—The Provi
dence Journal says:—The Hon. William Sprague
en Tuesday resigned his seat in the Senate of the
United States. The regret which at any time his
corstituenta would have felt at an event which takes
Wonithe public service his sound sense and eminent
ly practical talents, is greatly increased by the mel-
ancholy and tragical cause which impelled him to
this step.
CUTTINO A TIIROAT,-A little boy in Baltimore
had his throat cut on Thursday morning. The
person who did the deed was Professor N. R.
Smith, of the Infirmary, who by that means suc
ceeded in getting a watermellon seed from the
wind-pipe of the boy, which had been lodged there
for two months. The operation is called Troche
°tom?, and was very successfully performed in a
few minutes, and the patient is now doing well.
A SCIT.-Suit has been brought by the United
States against T. G. Morgan, late Collector of New
Orleans, and his securities, for the amount of their
bond, $120,000, the sum deficient being $274,000,
the United States reserving the right of recovering
the balance from Mr. Morgan. The suit is said to
be an amicable one, instituted for the purpose of
settling a contested claim of the Collector to certain
Gov. Tocx En, of Mississippi, in his message to
the Legislature to that State, recommends that a tax
be laid upon negro babies. He adds :
0, I would recommend a resort to new objects of
taxation, and would include as such objects, negro
slams under the age of five years, plate, and every
.description of household furniture, and every ape
ccies of property of real or ideal value."

WHIG SONG.
Tune—"OLD ROSIN TILE Bow."
Ye Locos', your Matty cant run, sirs,
Tho' started oW just as you may;
Sub-Treasury schemes are all done fur,
Whenever we talk about CLAY.
Some Locos are shouting for Cass, sirs,
Announcing that he is their man;
Whilst others, they call him an Ass, sirs,
And swear they must have little Van.
Free Traders, they go for Calhoun, sirs
Proclaiming that he is true blue—
Declaring that Johnson's a loon, sirs,
And none of the others will do.
The Sub-Treasury scheme is at best, sirs,
A miserable rotten old plan,
And just the right thing for a nest sirs,
Of Swartwuuters' and little Van.
The Locos seem keen fur the skinning,
Of our two million young coons;
But such a blind way ul beginning,
Reminds us of Matty's Gold Spoons,
Some Locos they talk about soaping,
Vans Genius, to help him along;
In this way, no doubt, they are hoping
To frighten us out of a song.
But soaping wo'nt do, sirs, nor greasing,
No way you can fix it, we say—
You may hope just as well, sirs, by snezing
To frighten the friends of Old CLAY.
Stout Washington.
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia 'Daily Forum," in a letter
dated on the 31st ult., says :
In the House this morning, Mr. A. ;
Johnson of Tennessee occupied the morn
ing hour, in advocating the 26th rule.— i
The latter portion of his speech was a
repetition of the stale calumnies against
the Whig party in 1840, and not content
with showing his squeamishness on the
subject of "log cabins and hard cider" he '
re-iterated the slander, which would prob
ably have condemned two loco.foco editors
in your state to the Penitentiary had not
Gov. Porter interposed his previous par
don! He broadly and unblushingly as.
serted that the Whigs had substituted
parched corn and hard cider for the ele
ments of the eucharist and derided the
most sacred of all religious ceremonies!
It is strange that Incolocoisin should be so
infatuated as to imagine that such libels
can advance its cause! It should long
before this have learned from the teach
ings of experience that these slanders re
act upon themselves—the people are not
ignorant of their falsity, and must dis
trust any party which resorts to such mis
erable policy to sustain itself.
Nothing of importance w as transacted
in either house—the Represenves ad•
journed at 2 o'clock to attend the funeral
services of the late lady of Mr. J. R.
Reding, of N. 11. who died suddenly of
brain fever on Sunday. Her remains
were taken this afternon to the home of
her husband fin. interment. Nhe Senate
went into executive session early in the
day and rejected Alin C. Spencer, nom
inated as one of the associate Judges of
the Supreme Court of the United States.
I referred you, at the time of its ap
pearance, to a most vile attack on Gov.
Davis, in the Globe, charging him with
being under "British influence," while
acting as commissioner for the State of
Illinois. The locofocos are rather tinter•
tunate in the propagation of their slaw.
ders this session; W eller's attack on Mr.
Stewart has re-acted as decidedly as has
the Globe's impudent aspersions on Gov.
Davis. In the latter case Blair was first
rebuked by Mr. 'Wentworth, one of his
own party and since that, the unanimous
voice of his partizans in Illinois has con
doned the libeller. Blair, in terror at
effect of his malignity, attempts a lame,
apologetical reply, which reeks with all
that vileness of diction and impurity of
thought, so emphatically characterestic of
the Globe's editorials, if the people of
Illinois can only be supplied with copies of
these offensive articles from the leading
loco organ here, they will, I think, have
an excellent effect in opening their eyes to
the reckless policy which it has adopted
for the present campaign. The tactics of
the Globe are well known; its conduc
tors are unprincipled and utterly lost to
every honorable sentiment; they deal out
their slanders with an unsparing hand and
are sustained for the sole purpose of
launching their denunciations and false
hoods against the good, the just and the
honest of their political opponents.
They hope by this course to deter sensi•
five minds from joining the ranks of anti.
Van Burenism;they hope, by an iron rule,to
impose gileuce on those who are anxious to
give publicity to their changed opinions
of Van Bureo's honesty ; they hope to
effect this by opeßins all the vials of wrath
and all the sluices of blackguardism upon
every one who dares e: press his sober
second thoughts' on the changed policy and
tergivisations of the little Kinderhooker.
Force is to take the place of argument—
opponents are to be bullied and slandered
into silence—the game was commenced
by Weller in his attack against Mr. Stew
art, followed up by his ungenerous and
unpardonable assault on the reporter of
the Baltimore Patriot and systematized by
the Globe editors. Their columns daily
teem with the grossest personalities, e
qualled only bythe licentiousness of the de
bate in the lower house of Congress! And
this they call argument; this the cause on
which they invoke heaven's blessing and
to the companionship of which they falsly
invoke the names of the most cherished
patriots of bye-gone days.
The Globe of last evening published
Weller's attack on Mr. Stewart, after an
interval of two weeks from its delivery.
It is not a correct report—the author has
evidently became ashamed of his coarse
ness and has softened down several of the
most objectionable sentences. We hail
this fact as a symptom of reviving self.
respect on the part of the Ohio Member.
I have said this report is not a correct one
—it does not appear that Weller first
commenced the personalities by saying
that he would place the brand of false
hood on Mr. Stewart's forehead as was the
case, and many of the grossest expres
sions are polished down. The Globe en•
dosses the courtesy of Weller and thinlis
it very wrong to make these political
speeches AVonder what Blair will say
to Andrew Johnson's speech to.slay then?
While on the subject of the Globe and
its opinions, I must refer to the grave one
advanced as the cause of Porter's rejec
tion yesterday. It says on Saturday last
Mr. James Cooper ofyour House of Rep
resentatives, " openly charged Governor
Porter with endeavoring to enter into a
compact with the Whigs to secure the
confirmation of J. M. Porter by the Uni
ted States Senate, in consideration of
which the State should be made go for
Henry Clay," and Mr. Cooper also stated
that " certain leading Whigs in the Legis
lature, had written to Washington urging
his confirmation and that the nomination
was postponed to give them more time!—
After giving this grave piece of news the
Globe proceeds with its comments thus:
" It was generally understood that Mr.
Porter's nomination was to have been
passed upon about ten slays since, but
although the Senate went into secret ses
sions from day to day, yet the sittings
were brief and nothing done. Monday
the above little disclosures reached here
and today (Tuesday) James Madison
Porter is no more—Secretary of War!"
What astonishing sagacity the Globe
exhibits: Mr. Cooper charges Governor
Porter with trying to bargain for his
brother's unfit 'nation, and as soon as the
news reaches here, that such a change has
been made, a rejection takes place! Now,
the Globe would infer that leading Whigs
were anxious for this compact—it cm ,
tainly does not look like it, when but
three votes could be found in the whole
Senate, in favor of Judge Porter's confir
mation! It certainly is an instance of
astonishing sagacity in the Globe to have
made this inference! But its editors knew
well enough that the incidental debate
which sprung up on Mr. M'Duffie's reso
lution, concerning the Tariff, occupied the
sessions of the Senate until a late hour
nearly ever day last week, and that its
Executive Sessions, as far as its proceeds
logs have transpired, were devoted to the
Mexican Treaty. Its editors knew too,
or if they did not, almost every reporter
about the Capitol did, that Tuesday was
fixed some time previous, for the consid
leration of Mr. Porter's nomination, and
that accordingly on that day he was taken
up and promptly rejected! These facts
are well known, and yet the sagacious
Globe finds a mouse in the meal tub, and
would make us believe that the Whigs of
the Senate hesitated whether to reject or
confirm MrPorter: Why:there has not been
a Whig press in the country, but has look
ed upon his rejection as certain, and the
only additioaal triumph they looked for,
was to have it unanimous, and it slid come
as near that as could have been anticipated.
But the Globe's sagacity has found out
that the Whigs squinted at an alliance
with the corrupt Inc tion of the Porters!
Does it know that the misdeeds of the
" lumber merchants," the 599.000 rosury
—the Brodhead and Solms transactions
and all the catalogue of locofoco iniquities,
were developed by the Whigs and inves
tigations pushed and finally obtained, des
pite the locofoco majorities in both houses
of the Pennsylvania Legislature? Does it
not know that its amiable and honest
friends of the Harrisburg Union defended
the corrupt clique as long as a shot was
left in the locker, and never revolted un
til the strong " voice of public opinion
seconded the exertions of the minority
Whigs and demanded investigation" And
does it not know too that the most anx
ious endeavor of the locotocos has been to
force Porter out of their party, that they
might swear lie had coalesced with the
Whigs, but that Porter has proved too
strong for them, and it is hard to say, as
yet, which branch of the plunderers are in
the ascendent ? Does it not know that it
has all been a game of " grab and
snatch" at Harrisburg, and that Porter's
political allies became jealous of him be
cause he grabbed stronger and snatched
faster than they could I And yet, with
all these things staring them in the face—
with a perfect knowledge of the loathing
manifested by the Whigs of the Keystone
in relation to the corruptions of the Porter
cliques, the Globe thinks it can prove that
the Whigs were anxious to ally themselves
with the rottenness of that corruption, too
fetid even for locofocoisin to endure! It
won't do Messieurs Globemen—you can't
coins it! HARVEY BIRCH.
