From the Cincinnati Gazette. A GOOD THING. Gen. Harrison was among the invited guest*. to the dinner „given to Geo. Van Rensselaer, in this city, on the second inst. Hu could not be present for reasons assign ed. The following is his letter, 'declining the invitation. It is one" of those good things which frequently fill from the pens of American statesmen, and from non' more often than Gen. Harrison's. Good taste will relish. and correct judgments approve it. NORTII BEND, Ist July, 1940. GENTt.cmcx: —A recent domestic enc. lion in the death of one of my sons, and the p r esent illness of Mrs. Denison, will prevent me from enjoying the great plensure of be ing present at the dinner to he given on Thursday next, to my beloved friend and old associate in arms, General Solomon Van Rensselaer. It is niw forty•seven veers since 1 first met this distinguished soldier in tho army of Gen. Wayne—he -in the cape. city of Cornet of Dragoons, and 1 as an En sign of Infantry. Associated mall the toils. and diffinalties incident to a war, the then. tre of which was an unbroken wilderness; of ages nearly cot respondent; and of disposi tions and tastes which induced us to seek the same employments, the same amuse ments, and the same fellowships. our friend ship thus formed by prepossession end knit in common danger, could not be ephemeral. It was such indeed as though we had owned the same paternity, and, had been, nurtured at the same bosom. And I may say with Castello of his brother, ..When had I a friend that was not Polidore's, ...Or Polidare a foe that was not miner I will not attempt, gentlemen, to give You even a summary of the services of Gen. Van Rensselear. I will not tell you of 'the deep debt of gratitude which is due to him from western men— of his gallant `raring in the -battle of the Rapids of the Aflame, and the blood which 1 saw pouring from his manly bosom upon the soil ofGhiteor his still more glorious achievements . upon the heights of Queen,town, ennobled, like 'those -of Abra ham, by the blood of the contending heroes. All this you know. It is to he found in the records of your country, and furnishes some Of 1110 brightest ;sages of its history. Aye, what is he now? Whet and who is tholtero 'of two wars, the conqueror of the heroic Brock, of him by whose management or gallantry, so deep a wound lied been inflic. ted upon the military character of our coun try? A year ago I would have answered you, fellow-citizeMs, that he was living in humble retirement, in the bosom of alarge and hap py flintily, suriported by the - emoluments of en humble office, the gin of a President who had liimselljeop irtled his lice, and shed his blood in achieving the independence of his -country, and knew howeo-uppreciate a Ile- To's services and reward a soldier's toils. Such, gentlemen. was the ettuatiomof my friend, the defender of Ohio cabins from the furious savage, the bearer in his body of the marks of seren distinct wounds,—when the spoilers came. When the disbanded legions of Augustus were suffered to eject the happy husbandman of the faireet portion of Italy, we have rea son to believe, we know indeed, that some were spared. The ruthless warriorwas not suffered to usurp the seat and violate the .groves which bad resounded to the songs of the greatest of poets. We may conclude also, that the scarred veterans of 'former wars were exempted from the otherwise general proscription. Indeed, we must suppose that the sympathy naturally felt between men of the same profession, would have induced the usurpers to spare the war worn followers of the were Pompey, al though they had been the soldiers olliherty, and the sworn enemies of their own faction. But, gentlemen, let me ask vou now to point to en exception in the proscription which has raged in our country for the last twelve years? Who has been spared that profess ed any thing which could tempt the cupidi ty of the suoilersl My Eiend is the last victim. The reason of this honorable dis tinction I could not tell. It is somewhat different Com that which induced the giant Polyphemus to intend the like honor to the king of Ithaca. But you may perhaps be anxious to know the reason which has been assigned for this outrage upon the feelings of the American people. Why, it was pre cisely that which has been given in all ages and in all countries for alt the violent and unjust acts of tyrants: "The public good." Iniftis case, "the advantage of the democra cy." In the midst of such abominations, how nppropriate is the exclamation of one of the distinguished victims of the savage Robespierre, "Oh! democracy, how many crimes are committed in thy name!" • It may be proper, gentlemen, that I should add that Gen. Van Rensselaer has accoun ted for every cent of public money that ever came into his hands, and that he dares the' strictest investigation into his conduct as an officer. What cause of deep reflection, gentlemen, does the case of my friend, con trasted with that of others known to be pub lie defaulters, who have been retained in office, present to the patriot and the, friend of Republican government? I conclude, gentlemen, by ofFming you a sentiment: "May Solomon Van Rensselaer be the last victim in our country of party violence; and may _the services which are to bo the future passports to office, be not those rendered to a party, but to the whole people. I am, gentlemen, with great respect, Your bumble servant, WM. H. I 1 A ItItISON. TO SAMUEL W.

From the Ohioßepublican , RICHARD M. JOHNSON. The present Vice President, R. M. John- son, is a man with whom we have some ac quaintance. Some of our Harrison editors have said n few hard things about Colonel Richard M. Johnson, without knowing that they were unintentionally slandering one of the bravest soldiers of the last war, end one of the firmest friends that ever Gen. Ilarri son had the honor of possessing. We know them both intimately, and we speak by au• thority when we say there is nothing but the most kindly feelings entertained in the .breasts of these honorable and distinguished men, towards each other. Richard M. Johnson has been kicked to one side, by his Van Buren friends, but that makes no diff-ience to us. We mean to tell a tale, the incidents of which we can prove by one of the mast high minded and respectable men of Cincinnati, Elam P. Lnngdan is the man we allude to, and although there are some hundred of others upon whose tes . timony we might rely, we name him in pre ference to all the rest, because, although a supporter of the present administration, tie possesses a soul, on which in eight years' acquaintance we never discovered a single stain or blot. But to our tale, which is not one of fancy: 'On a certeie occasion, not far from the dog days of MIS, it was rumored among some of us Jackson men of Cincinnati, that Dick Johnson, as every body familiarly cal led him, was about to perpetrate a stump speech in Covington, which, as we persurne all our readers know, lies exactly opposite to Cincinnati, in the State of Kentucky, a Stew too well known in history and tradi• lion to require our feeble attempts to eulo gize. Well we crossed the river in the ferry boat, went to the hall Where Dick Johnson was to hold forth, shook him cor dirtily by the hand, and then sat down, along with Elam P. Langdon to hear his speech. Stump speeches in Kentucky are riot pre cisely like those in Ohio. It is somewhat difficult for a Kentucky stump orator, when be commences his speech to guess with much exactness as to its duration or its pe roration. he ,Kentuckians dislike to be humbugged, and they very frequently ask n stump orator, even in the very height and flow of his eloquence, a question that throws him out of his own prescribed track. Such was the case with our friend Col. Johnson. 'He began a desertation on matters and things in general and Democracy in partic ular. He was moving on as smoothly as a square rigged brig, with all her canvass shaken out, when somebody in the crowd yelled you, "t 1 ere you at the battle of the Thames?" "I was, and what of it?" "Are you the hero of that battle?" "That's a very singular question'to be put to me by any gEntleman that has read the history of the last war. My brother James end myself—and the Colonel dashed a tear from his eve when he pronounced the name of his brave and departed brother— my brother James and myself rimmed a re giment of mounted riflemen and joined Gen. Harrison on the Maumee. We asked him for the post of danger. the very moment it could be obtained, and he told us, it it were possible, and it would not conflict with the general operations of the troops, he would grant it to us cheerfully. We were short ly on the trail of Proctor. We caught him on the Thames. Our mounted regiment, as a matter of course, was in the advance, and when we descried the enemy, my brother and myself rude up to General Harrison and reminded him of his promise." "Have your mounted men ever been prac tised to charge upon infantry?" said the Gen eral. "Certainly;" said we. "Then," said the. General, "the post ei danger as well as of duty i 4 before you.— One half of your regiment will, charge through the British regulars, and the other half will, simultaneously, commence an at• tuck on Tecumseh's Indians in the swamp." "So said the General—my brother James. and a braver and a better man never lived. charged through the British, with one half of the battalion, wkile I, with the other holl, undertook to rouse up the Indians in the swamp They were not hard to rouse up, for Tecumseh, a man transcendently stye rinr to Proctor, in point of real bravery, as 'Hyperion to a Satyr,' had determined to make that his best and most conclusive bat tle ground. We met them and fought them; and, when they learnt the Proctor's British regulars had been demolished by my broth er James they began to retire. At this moment my body had been perforated by five bullets, and my horse could only be kept on his legs by the greatest exertion of my bridle band.. In endeavoring to make him leap over a log in the swamp he fell and died, with two more balls in his carcase than were in my own. A tall, good looking Indian approached me, with his tomahawk ready for a throw. My horse lay in a po• sition that did not permit me to be exactly dismounted. I pulled out a loaded pistol from my holsters and shot him. They say it was Tecumseh I shot. I care not, and /know. not. 1 would have shot the best ludian that ever breathed under such circumstances without inquiring his name, or asking the ages of his children." When the Colonel reached this point there was a deafening roaerif applause. A , ennp!eton, present, who did not know the' true calibre of the man he was about to in terrogate. and who wished to make himself popular among the enemies of Harrtson,ex claimed in a was voice— " Where General Ilarrisen then?" The Colonel gave a calm survey of the crowd; until .he singled out the free of the querist. Looking him dead in the eye, as the Kentuckians say, and drawing himself to his utmost height, with his eye dilated, and a countennance that plainly shoWed that there was to be no hypocri4y in what he was about to say, he replied in tones, as calm but as portentous as the incipient rum blings that precede a volcanic eruption— "lie was in the very spot where the Com• mender-in chief ought to hare • been. Her was in the spot where his duty called him: He was amidst the whizzing of rifle bullets, overlooking the movements of our mounted men—ready to charge over the dead bodies of my brother and myself, had we proved unfortunate in the onset, in order to avenge us. No one must attempt to tickle my fancy by intimating in my presence, that General Harrison is a coward!" There was a pause—and then there was a silence, so profound, so indescribable thnt it was painful. in that vast crowd, for the space of ono minute—and that is a long, 'dreary lapses of time, to men who are list ening to a stump speech—the ticking of a watch might have been heard, as horribly loud as it has grated on our ear in the som bre chamber of the dying and the dead.— But, anon, there was a slight clapping of hands—and, then. there was a deafening thunder storm of applause, that seemed to shake the building to its very foundation. This is the same Richard M. Johnson whom the Locofricos, at their late abortive Convention in Baltimore,retused to re nomi• nate as their candidate for Vico President. He was too honest for them! ....• • *«.-- HEAR GENERAL MILLER. Every body, certainly every one who cherishes a recollection of the Revolution, has heard of Gen. Miller, who, on being as. ked whether he could take a battery that was pouring n galling fire into the rank., of the American army, replied, "W E'LL TRY." The testimony of such a man will weigh a thousand times more than the vile slanders of the political bragizart. Hear, then, what ' he says, in' the following letter, which we copy from the Boston Atlas: BOSTON, June 29, 1840. DIY DEAR GENERAL: 1 address ynu with the frankness which one old friend may use toward another. My object is to learn what you think of the recent attacks on the mili tary character of Gen. Harrison. I believe you wete in the army in the West. in the campaign of Tippecanoe, although I do not remember that you berved with him alter the declaration of war against England; but as a military man, forming your judgment impartially, and whey► the facts wore recent, your opinion would be of great value. 11 there ba any blot on his military fame, ►t ought to be known: if there be not, you will feel that an old soldier ought not to be un• justly and rudely attacked. Gen. Harrison is before the country for the Presidency. I do not know that we el►al elect him, but I can say, in your own lan gunge, my dear General, that "we'll try.' Yours with unceasing regard, DANIEL W EBSTER. Gen. JitlifEs MILLER. SA LE Vii, June 30, 1840. MY DEAR SIR - : / have the honor to have received your letter of yesterday,requesting ,me to state what I think of the recent at- ache on the military character of Gen Harrison. In answer I can truly say, thu I have noticed with deep regret attacks.not only nn his well-earned military fame, but al-u upon his private and moral character My first acquaintance with General. Harri son was in the year lal 1. I was on duty in the 4th regiment of infantrv, then cum. mended by Col. John P. Boyd—afterwards Gen. Boyd—under orders to proceed to Vincennes, and there report to Gov. Harri son. We did so. We remained at Vincen nes some days., and united ourselves with the volunteers stationed there, devoting our limited time to purposes of organization and drill. We then took up the line of march for the Indian country, and proceeded by slow and cautious marches, until we had reached about seventy miles op the Wabash toward Tippecanoe, where we halted and threw up a stockaded work, which we called Fort Harrison. Here 1 remained until the army returned from Tippecanoe, after the battle. Althotrgli I was not in the brittle, still took great interest in it; had much cotorer action with all the officers ori'lheir return; and made every inquiry I could think of respecting their movements and encamp inents, the attack and defence, and the ope rations of the battle throughout—and I made up my mind, unhesitatingly, that the cam paign bad been conducted with great brav ery, skill and judgment, and that nothing was left undone, that could be done, consist- ly with the General's express orders from the War Department, which 1 saw and read Nor have I ever known or heard of any act of his, which has, in the least degree, alter ed the opinion I then formed of him. I will add, that if I ever had any military skill, I am more indebted for it to Gen: Harrison, than to any other man. Soon after the Battle, I wrote a letter to Getel Benjamin Pierce, late Governor of New Hampshire— my military father, as I call him—giving a somewhat detailed account of the campaign of Tippecanoe. That letter was preserved by Gen. P. and might now probably be found among his papers. If it is in exist ence, it will show what were my opinions at that time, as would also several other let- tern then written by the to various friends In those days I never heard that Gen. Har rison was a coward, or wore petticoats. To courlude, 1 freely express my opinion, after following him through all his civil and military career, after living with him in his faufily, more thin six months, that Gen. William Henry Harrison is as free from stain or blemish, as it falls to the lot of roan to be. I am, dear sir, your old friend, JAMES MILLER Hon. DANIEL W EBSTEL The Newark Daily Advertiser states that when Col. Johnson arrived at the Railroad depot in that city. a plain man introduced himself to the Colonel, and inquired if Gen. Harrison was really in the baffles of Fort Metto and the Thames, "Yes, sir—and ha's as bravo a man as ever lived," was the prompt reply. The New Haven,Herald save, to remove a tight tropple from a decanter; phial. &c. wet a cloth with hot water, and apply it to the neck 'of the bottle; the glass will expand, and the neck will be enlarged, 90 as to allow the stopple to be easily withdrawn. CONFESSIONS OF THE ENEMY. The following extract of a letter from a Van Buren man travelling in Indiana, to the editor of the Richmond Enquirer, abounds in truths which should stimulate every Whig to still further exertion. How powerful are Our incentives to action when so strong a tribute to our candidate and our cause is wrung even from the reluctant lips of a political enemy!— Lou. Journal. "I left my home in Virgin'a in February last, in pursuit of a villian who has much injured me. I travel on horseback. I have visited nearly every town and village in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. I have travel led extensively among the farmers in the country, and I assure you the enthusiasm for Harrison beggars all description. Children five or six years old singing Tippecanoe songs on the stage—the street children do ing the same—Buckeye canes in the hands of men and boys—Hickory canes thrown' aside! These are small things, to be sure, hut they are minions signs, and I mention them only to undeceive my democratic friends in Virginia, with regard to the feel ings of the west. 1 have ever been a warm friend of Gen. Jackson. 1 have voted for Mr Van Buren, and ex pect to do so again; still, I must confess,my opinion of Gen. Harrison is much altered since I have been travelling among those who have known hint long and known him well. This man does not now, nor never did exist, who sustains a more unsullied,un blemished, irreproachable character than General Harrison does among those who know him best: therefore I ~ .wish to say to my old democratic Irienduto be up and doing—our cause is a doubtful one, at best, to say the least of it. Ohio, Indiana, Illi nois, Kentucky, and Louisiana, are certain tar Harrison; Tennessee and Michigan, perhaps equally certain. Mark that! Ala barna, Georgia, Mississippi and Arkansas, very doubtful. Mark that! Missouri, I hope, certain for Van Buren; though, even there 'shadows, clouds, and darkness rest upon us.' If we loose Virginna we are gone, arid I much fear that even Virginia can't save us. Onr cause requires the utmost energy end exertion. Let none, then, be lulled into security." S..

He prayed with the fam ily, joined them at breakfast, and rose to depart—thankino them for their kindness. Having bade them farewell, he proceeded with his saddle bags on his arm to the gale, where to his grMat surprise, he was met by a man leading a horse, prepared with his own bridle and saddle. Being told it was for him, and desired to mount, he declined assured that there was some mistake. Returning to the house, ho was met by his kind host, to whom he related the mem stance—adding that he was a Methodist minister, returning from a circuit to his hone, (still 200 miles off) and that though he would gladly hire or purchase the horse, he was too poor to do either. Hecould not ' e%en be sure of devising means to send him back, if a loan had been kindly intended.

Render, the worthy Bost was William Henry Harrison Aw INCIDENT.- Walking up Chesnut street with an old friend from Indiana, on the rim nine of the 4111:of July, just at the moment when Mrs. Felix Grundy was ad• dressing the tide•waiters and post office clerks in the State House Yard, our atten tion was attracted to a crowd standing under the trers. We stopped a moment to ascer Lain the cause, and found it to be a discus siem between a friend of General Harrison and a supporter of Van Buret,. We were on the point of turning away. when our In diana friepd pulled my by the coat with a re quest to remain. He immediately elbowed his way into the centre of the throng beside the disputants. After listening a lew mo ments, he accosted the Van Buren man and enquired, "Did I not hear you style Gen. Harrison a coward?" "Yes," replied the man, "1 did call him a coward, and 1 have a right' so to call him. for I know him well and served under him at Fort Meiga."— "Do you know met" asked our friend from Indiana. The man replied ho did not.— "Yes" said the Indianian, "you do—you certainly must remember Captain of the company in which you say you "sere ed." The poor old wretch immediately be came pale with fear! "I would not expose you," continued our friend, "if I had not caught you traducing your Commander and uttering things which you know to be as false as your own heart. 'Turning to the by standers,the Indianian continued—" Gen• tlemen, this white headed old wretch be. longed to a company commanded by mo at Fort Meigs; under Gen. Harrison—he was publicly drummed nut of the Camp after the retreat of the British and Indians, for theft and the grossest cowardice." The effect upon the people may be easily imagi ned.

July 0 , , 1840. To day the State Convention of the Loco Feces met here to nominate Col. R. M. Johnson. They numbered about sixty, and only one half of the State was represented— one member said he represented six coun ties!! I was quite amused at the singular ity of their proceedings. There was but one speaker. and he did all the business. 'Rey proceeded, however, to nominate or ballot for Johnson, when all voted for him but two—one of these MN for Polk, and the other for Col. Wm. R. Johnson, (a Willa of Virginia) This was a clincher. The president asked who gage that vote, and re quested the member to'rise; but all "sat still in silence." The secretary then stated that he thought the member who cave it was in error as to the first name. It crea ted a good deal of amusement among the Whigs present,./ind showed that some of these Locos even preferred the gallant ra cer to Tecumseh. This State is safe for Harrison, certain. Our friends are in high spirits, and are dis puting about the majority. They have just completed a very large log cabin in this town, and last night dedicated it with hard cider. The Van Buren party here admit that Morehead (Whig) will be elected' Gov ernor, but that the State will go for Van. I can assure you that Mr. Morehead is per. serially very popular, and will get the whole Whig strength; but when "Old Tip" comes on the course in November, he will take the track and distance the Kinderhook jockey. An OLD TYPO GONE.—The Cumberland (Md.) papers announce the death of Thomas Grieves, Esq., in the 74th year of his age. Mr. G. was a native of Scotland, but has lived in Maryland nearly fifty years.

He hod tried every ordinary remedy in vain, and at length got rid of his tormen tor, by scraping a carrot, mixing the same with salt, and applying the mixture every night fresh to the excressence when he re • tired to bed. Five or six applications cured it. As there are thousands of persons trou bled with these disagreable things who are very anxious to remove them, and as the remedy is extremely simple, we would ad vise its immediate trial.

Who will be our next President---" If he lied been allowed to proceed without inter ruption, he doubtless would have said some thing to the following effect: "Who will be our next President it is impossible to predict, as there are two prominent candidates for the office, Mr Van Buren and Gen.

It appears to us, that there is just ground for hope that Old Rip Van Winkle, will be thoroughly aroused, and will repudiate the Sub• Treasury and Standing army schemes, by an immense majority.—Pu. Tel. The Philadelphia Inquirer says—lt is believed that the amount abstracted from the Bank of Pennsylvania by Mr. Benjamin Smith, whose mysterious disappea ranee has been alluded to in our columns, was about $lOO,OOO. The money was taken at vnri• ous limos in the course of seven years. It was invested in property in the city, which together with the securities of Mr. S. will it is said save it from loss. MORE CIIANGE9.-A Detroit paper pub lishes a list of ninety ind vidunls who have abandoned Van Buren and the Sub Treasis ry, and espoused the cause of Harrison and Reform. It is computed that there are in Englund one million of horses, used for lubor—and two hundred thousand for pleasure—all of which are supposed to consume the produce of seven millions of acres.

The Baltimore Patriot alya that New Orleans papers of the 10th inst. give the returns from that city and many of the adjoining parishes. 111 New Orleans, the Whigs carried their whole ticket for the Legislature by a majority of about 1100! In the first Congressiotril district White (W.) is re-elected by an immense majority !! In the Second Congressional district, so fur as heard from. Morgan (W.) has a majority of 100 votes—three parishes to hear from, which gave Chinn (W.) ut the last election, over 300 majori ty. Theo three parishes, however, in 1836 gave a large majority fur Vun Buren, and the result in the district msy now be regarded as doubtful, though until now it bad been conceded to the Loco Focos. LEorscATons.—ln regard to the Legislature, the New Orleans Bee says: "So far, the Whigs have neither gained nor lost. If the rest of the State has done as well, the majority in the Legis laturo will be very decided. So far, the popular vote is for Harrison by hundreds !" The New Orleans Bee of the Ihth inst. says:— "Never have we taken up the pen with prouder feelings than those we now experience in chroni cling the most unprecedented triumph ever achiev ed by the Republicans of Orleans. The Harrison banner floats from the spires and domes of the crescent city. The great mart of the South has spoken. She has rebuked the spoilers with a mighty voice. She has strewn the impotence of the miserable revilings of the Executive against a great and good man. She has spurned and re• jocted his calumniators." Gen. Harrison has been called a COWARD: But the shameful creatures, who have detected them selves in uttering this calumny, recollect not that they were whimpering upon the nurse's lap, and hushed to rest by the harmless billaby,unconselous of any danger, when the Hero of many Wars was walking the ramparts at Fort Meigs, pointing the cannon and defying the enemy, while shot were falling thick and fast around him. They forget that on the very night that Gen. Harrison was engaged at Tippecanoe,—snufling the smoke of the cannon and musketry, and greeted with their roar, amidst the din of battle—Mr. Van Buren was engaged in leading off a minuet in a Bull in New York, in the midst of colognes, perfumes, and po maturns, with the sound of stringed instruments, and participating in the giddy rounds of a fashion able ball-room. Vaii Buren's Democracy! If democracy means "the best mode of restrict ing the right of suffrage"—the "cheapening of this invaluable right"—entertaining such an opin ion of "rational liberty" ne would not confer it ..indiscriminately upon every one," Mr. Van Du ren ought to claim the title. But has ho in all his life ever shown that ho is either a Republican or a Democrat! What public acts of his life can bo pointed at to sustain his pretentions to the sup port of '•the Democracy"? We can adduce a few (with the book and page where they may be found) that show him in quite a different light. When a member of the Cohvention to revise the Consti tution of the State of New York, in 1821, Mr. Van Buren voted against the extension of the right of suffrage to poor men who were not house holders!—thus prohibiting clerks, young mechan ice, and laboring men from enjoying that privi. lege. Soo Holland's Life of Van Buren, page 181, 184. Hear what- Mr. Van Buren said in that Convention. (See Journal, page 277.. Mr. Van Buren observed. "that it was evident and indeed some gentlemen did not seem disposed to disguise it, that the amend. ment proposed by the honorable gentleman from Delaware (Gen. Root) contemplated nothing short of universal suffrage. Mr. V. B. did not believe that there were twenty gentlemen of that commit tee, who, were the bare naked question of universal suffrage put to them, would vote in ite favor; and he was very sure that its adoption.was not ex pected, and would nut meet the views of his constituents." (Mr. Van Buren represen ted the r deinl county of Otsego in the Con. "Wa had already reached the verge of univermil mange. There was but ono step beyotol. Arid are gentlemen prepared to take that Sit 7 , .We were cheapening this invaluable right. He was disposed to go as tar as any man in the extension of rational liberty; but he would not consent to under value this precious previlege, so far as to confer it with an undisctimmating hand up on every one, black or white, wh9 would be kind enoungli to condescend to accept it." p. 2:27. On the 28th of September, Mr. Wheeler offered an amendment extending the elec tive franchise to "every male citizen of the age of twenty-one yf ars an inhabitant of this State, and for one year a resident in the town or city where he may offer his vote, (paupers and persons under guardianship excepted ) '•Mr. Van fluren occupied the floor for Game time in exnressieg his sentiments de cidedly against die amendment end egefigt universal suffrage. We were hazarding every thing by going such Irngths in the amendments---thu people would never sanc tion them."—p. 234. The ayea and noes were taken on Mr. Wheeler's amendment, an,' r. Van Buren'm name stands recorded in the negative."—T. 237. In that same conventiol he voted against the election of Justices of the Peace, Sheriffs, &c. by the people. "Some had said (said Mr. Van Bu ren) that Magistrates ought to se elected by the people, but se had at all times been opposed to their election." Holland's Life of Van Buren, page 199. A sterling Republican truly! Who has no confidence in the people, but would swell Executive ptitPonnge to such an extent that a 'follower in the footsteps" would always inherit the seats of power. Mr. Van Buren has never shown any attach ment to the people; his manners and habits are of that haughty, and aristocratic stamp which be longs to the Peers of the realm in England; and his most prodigal expenditure of the people's trea sure, for gew paws and Royal trappings. evince his utter disregard of their interests. In short, ohe is no friend of the people." He has never done ono act in his public career for which ho has received even the praise of his constituents; and, until he played the fawning sycophant, and secu red by his winning and servile conduct the good wilLof Gen. Jackson, be was sea•ce known to the world. He has been sailing under a borrowed passport, the magic of which has ceased to act. If these facts be true, is Mr. Van Buren a De mocrat? Is he able or willing to rule over Us ac cording to the spirit of our old-fashioned Republi can government? If not, let us try another. Test the Republicanism of Gen., Harrison. Reward him in some small degree for his priceless servi ces to the nation. Bustain him in routing the people'ir enemies—Van Buren and his office-hold ers—who are now arrayed against them; end that done, we will have perpetuated to us the privilege of chosing out own rulers, and will yield to the laborer the hire of which he is worthy. ruAnuoug. You can't conic It, LOCOS! The Loco Foco papers from Ma , no to Louisi ana are boasting much of accession to their party. Recently they claimed Judge Jolts Bewail of Kentucky, as being one of the distinguished indi• viduals of that State who had embraced their faith; and accordingly his name has been paraded before the public in every Loco Foco daily and hebdoma dal in the country, as indicative of a change in favor of the Administration in that qnarter. Tho Judge, 'lts true, has been appointed by the Presi dent one of the comadsnioners to settle the boun dary line between the United States and Mexico, by way of compensation for what Mr. Van Buren readily believed to be “change." This turns out to ho a hoax—no such change having taken place! The Locos have been playing at their old game- , -- LYING. Judge h•wan has expressed his determi nation to give his support to Gcn. Harrison, as will appear by the following paragraph, taken from the letter of a Cincinnati correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot "In riding in a stage throuuh Kentucky. it was my good fortune to meet Judge John Rowan, u Senator in the United States Sen ate during Gen. Jackson's first term; and tor conversational powers, he exceeds any man with whom 1 have ever met; not only able, but willing, to entertatn his compan ions. In the course of conversat ion, politics were introduced, and he said, in extenuation of some remark he was about to make in de fence of some charge urged against the Ad ministration, that, although he had not voted for seven years, if he did vote this full, he should certainly vote for General Harrison. tie then proceeded in his remark, which it is unimportant to relate. I. mention this, because it is an expression of hie opinion since his appointment, in conjunction with Gov. Marcy, of New 'York, as tt conferee to settle the difficulties with Mexico. His son also declines to run as elector for Van Buren. Judge Rowan and his son have both been looked upon as opposed to the iVhias; and the appointment of the former to office by Van Buren, and the latter as an . elector by the patty, is proof enough--such are the emphatic signs of the times. Missouri, Mississippi mind Arkansas are shaking off their shackles, and will be ours." Much noise is also made about the Hon. Ben. Hardin's having seceded from the Whigs, and avowed his intention to support Martin Van Do ren. The assertion is altogether without founda tion. This distinguished Kentuckian is still a firm supporter of Gen. Harrison. The following article from the Louisville Journal, shows this to be one of the many errors which the Locos not un frequently fall into :-- "The Hon. Ben. Hardin ("Old Ki:chen Knife" they call him) Was seen going from the Bardstown Post Office the other day in a terrible passion. "Pray what's the mat ter?" said a friend approaching him.— W hy"—said old Ben. "1 never was so mad before in all my life: here l have actually got orders from the White House instruct ing me to make loco loco speeches through out the State and telling me that it is the administration's only hope I the d—l take the scoundrels !" Cun our loco loco Centtal Committee throw any light upon this singular business?" Martin Van Buren in the New York convention for amending the Constitution, opposed the right of poor men to vote. In the debate on that ques tion ho used these words ! !! "But what is the character of the Poor? Generally speaking, VICE AND POVERTY GO HAND IN HAND. " —See Convention Journal, page 284. We have ever cherished the warmest friendly feelings for an honest, industrious poor man.— Poverty is no disgrace, save in the eyes of this President, who they Impiously call "the poor man's friend." If, after such a slanderous impu tation, our industrious, hard-working poor men can vote fur Martin Van Buren, or 'assist in at tempting to re-elect him, they may not expect to he pitied when his six pence a day will reward them fur remaining his leige subjects. Farmers, Mechanics, Manufacturers and La- Larers, read the effects of the SuirTreasury, e d down to plain English," by senator Tappan o f Ohio, a prominent Van Buren federalist:— WWI "The price of labor is entirely too high. TOP !ABORE'R, IN Till 3 COUNTRY POOR =EN, READI I Effects of the Stib•Treaeury. CAN AFFORD TO WORK FOR eleven pence a day AND THE HARD MONEY SYSTEM WILL BRING DOWN WA GES TO THAT SUM. WILE T WILL ALSO COME DOWN TO SIXTEEN CENTS a bushel, AND EVERY THING ELSE IN PROPORTION. THIS IS THE BEST TARIFF YOU CAN HAVE, AND Tin: ONLY ONE THAT CAN ENA• BLE THE MANUFACTURER TO COMPETE WITH ENGLAND. The Sub Treasury will effect objects—lT WILL PUT DOWN THE BANKS, Ann bring Wages and every thing else dawn." bbbbbt.t The assertion that Gen. Harrison'. opinions are not known to tho people, and that he disre gards all attempts to draw from him en expression of them on the distinctive measures of policy which are now In agitation, has received its per fect quietus, from tho following remark of the ••Spirit of the Times," (the most rabid of all the frenzied Loco Foco papers,) in relation to the alleged concealment ! ! of Gen. Harrison's senti ments:— "The REAL SENTIMENTS of Harri son, however, notwithstanding all their caution CANNOT RE KEPT PROM THE THEY LIVE IN HIS PRINTED LETTERS AND SPEECHES, AND ARE READ IN EVERY HAMLET IN THE LAND." PUBLIC. Mechanics, Read! We live in a community where we ore surroun ded by industrious, persevering Mechanics, most of whom are sustaining their otvn interests, while they advocate those of the Union, in throwing their influence on the side of Harrison and Reform.— Rend, then, the following candid record of the party. who ask you to vote for their candidate— Martin Van Buren : "Resolved, That the British Whigs are willing to stoop to a level with the COMMON PEOPLE---THE TAG, RAGS AND DOB-TAlLS—the FILTHY MECHAN ICS of society, in order to enlist their suffrages in an unhallowed cause." Good Advice. Wo cut the following excellent piece of advice from the Madisoniani Wo would recommend it to the perusal of every one, and more especial to correspondents. It is good, sound, wholesome doctrine, and if well applied, will be of great ad vantage to the editorial traternity:— 1. Condense your arttcles,aad make them as brief as possible. 2. Never send us a communication unless you are sure it has point. 3. Never expect to see your communicn• ions it, print unless you can write gratntnat cony, and can do your own spelling and tutict ua t ion. 4. Never *rite an both sides of your pa. per, if you intend your article to be printed. It is a great inconvenience to the compositor, and can scarcely be tolerated, unless the communication is from a distance. A. Never bore an editor by reading your article to him. Leave it to his discretion, and bide your time. . . 6. Never ask an editor the news—it is like getting professional advice without fees, or smuggling goods. Take his paper, pay for it, and then you will get the news with• out inquiry. 7. It is a great mistake to suppose that an editor's sanctum is a public reading room. To tumble and read an editor's exchanges, is as bud as riling the fountain where the spring folks are dipping water for their cus. tomere. R. ‘V hen 3ou 'fish to discontinue a paper do it with as. much decency as you ordered it, always remembering that an editor for. ever sets him down as no gentleman, who after his requesting his paper compels the postmaster to send an abrupt notice, that the paper "is refused," and, that an editor can never regard him an honest man who die continues his paper without paying arreara gee. 9. Never flatter yourself that an anony mous communication, addressed to,or touch. ins persons, will be noticed. Mn. NAYLOR CHOSEN. — A letter was re• ceived by the Southern Mail,last night, from which we are apprised of the gratifying in telligence that the rights of the people of, and the member from, the Third District have been recognised by the House of Rep resentatives; that the Honorable Charles Naylor has been continued in hisses( by the votes of a majority of the members. U. S. Gazette. Loco Foto INSOLENCE.—The Old Tory Spirit.—The Baltimore Republican, in a late number, speaking of Mechanics, sneer ingly says, "they should stay at home and mind their own business, and leave the than dgement of oovernment to those who are more capable." 1l this doctrine is to be tol erated, sastamed and promoted by the lead ing organs of thaadaunitatation, then indeed it will require a standing army of two hund red thousand men to curry on the operations of government.

Among the many false reports, they had published him as an impostor, and no mechanic, but a broken down lawyer.— He was pleased to see that his friends had prepared a temporary smithery on the wage, and he would practically demonstrate' to them the falsehood of that report. He wont to work, cut his iron from the bar, and at two heats made a horse shoe ready to fit to the foot. While the shoe was under inspec- Won by the company, he made some horse shoe nails, all of which was p,onounced good work. He then riveted the attention of the meeting by a speech of an hour's du• ration.—Boston paper. VAN BIIRENIENC—The Claremont (N. El.)
