REPUBLICAN BANNER
FOR THE SITAR AND ➢!PUBLICAN BANNICR.
We moat cordially congratulate our fellow
citizens on the opening, and increasing prospects
of a most glorious and brilliant victory; we can
not restrain our exultation nor avoid thus felicita
ting our Whig brethren, upon the cheering and
exhilarating tidings of the progress, and success
of the friends of the Old Hero of Tippecanoe.
The accumulation of testimony in favor of our
cause has crowded upon us from every quarter.
The friends of order and reform have eronfronted
the thoughtless, interested and infatuated adhe
rents of Martin Van Buren—the genuine light of
truth has been diffused abroad, and in defiance of
the formidable phalanx, that has been so exten
sively and zealously paraded against us, our
cause is onward; victory after victory, in rapid
succession, loudly proclaims that the day of deliv.
erance is speedily approaching. The records
history give light and knowledge, and present
strong and glowing colours admonitory lessons
the danger and evil of bestowing on mart to
,much power.
The people are acknowledged to be eovereig
yet their representatives are illegally and unrigh
oously debarred seats in the Legislature and Co
gress, and their places wickedly and unblus
ingly seized by a monoplizing party; and th
same ruthless party with the most untiring effur
endeavouring to establish an undue authorit
and power in the hands of Martin Van BUre
for their own individual emolument, and all
under the spurious garb of Democracy.
Heretofore our political institutions did concen l
trete to a focus the admiring, gazing eyes of sur
rounding nations: ■nd America the native soil of
liberty; the asylum of the , oppressed; the dread
of tyrants, and the hope of the world, had dis
played in her official element, all that - is great
and noble in human nature. But ales, the plea.
sing and rapturing gaze of the patriot has been
obscured, by permitting a proud aristocratic dan
dy to preside in the honored and sacred chair of
a Wf.4,ington and a Jefferson, and by thus intro
ducing corruption into the fountain, it has poured
a desolating and poisonous influence through eve
ry department of the present administration: as
the prophet says, "The whole head is sick, the
whole heart is faint": from the President down to
the most menial office holder.
We have an irreconcilable dislike to every thing
that serves to feed the pride of man, or to any
thing that would be calculated to continuo Martin
Van Buren's belief that be is a peculiarly conse
quential being—a rare bird upon earth; and con
sequently we fully intend to send him home to
Kinderhook, in the year 1841. The honored,
brave, and patriotic William Henry Harrison is
destined to buret the shackles of despotism; un
mask the sycophantic pretenders of Democracy;
and restore our hitherto happy country to its pris
tine prosperity and glory. From the unanimity
and harmony of the genuine friends of Democ
racy, we feel no hesitancy in asserting that their
triumph will be complete. Under those propitious
circumstances: with such extensive unanimity of
sentiment, end effort, permit me again to congrat
ulate the friends of Reform, and the whole Whig
fraternity. 'We should stand firm; shoulder to
shoulder, and sustain with fidelity, dignity, and
undeviating perseverance, the invaluable blessings
and privileges, bestowed on us by the wisdom and
blood of our venerable fathers. Let no individual
in the pursuit of the ignia faluus of personal
emolument or tante, commit the glorious cause to
censure and degradation, but let the general weal,
rise paramount to all minor considerations. We
aro fully sensible, that notwithstanding the aston
ishing triumphs of our cause, we are not to relax
in honorable effort, for we have still to conflict
with a host of mercenary, monopolizing, and de
termined opponents. But notwithstanding this
formidable opposition, and array of battle, there
is not any thing more certain in the usual routine
of human events, than that the victorious march of
the Hero of the Thames has produced, and will
still continue to produce, a strong and uncontrola
ble reaction on public opinion, and will secure in
the issue a general and perfect triumph. We
again reiterate the sentiment, that Whig princi
ples require of every Whig what Lord Nelson
required in the motto drawn on his pendant, at
the Battle of Trafalgar, "England expects , every
man to do his duty." Let us'endeavor to resist
aspirants for exclusive privileges; and oppose
with manly firmness those aristocratical associa
tions that tend even remotely to jeopardize the
equal rights and privileges , of our free and inde
pendent community, until the shackles of the
oppressor be shaken from every limb, and no ves
tige of tyranny remain unscathed by the prowess
of freedom's brawny arm. To you, Columbia
looks to rescue her from despotism! To you, she
appeals to adopt measures to infuse new energy
through all the ranks of her friends, and to urge
effective measures to give permanency to her in
stitutions, and increase the progress of the cause,
beyond the control of the evil devices, malignant
machinations, and persecuting zeal of our merce
nary opponents. Did you not hear a few days
since the savage yell,of slander on our honored
and talented candidste for Congress? Do you not
perceive that this filthy disease, slander, is epi
demic, and prevails to an alarming degree among
our opponents! Mark! hosi signally their elan
dere were refuted by the ballots of his indignant
constituents. It has recoiled • upon their own
heads and resulted in the triumphant election of
our talented fellow-citizsn. So will it be with
the imbecile slang which has been circulated
against Wm. H. Harrison, the Cincinatua of the
,Western Hemisphere, and the President of the
United States of America in the year 1841. The
eyes of the community are opening to behold

demonstrations of this fact are being prochimel
from every State in the Union. The American
people are convinced that his moral, civil and po

Molts VIOLENCE.—Extract of a letter,
dated
CmcnmATr, Oct. 1, 1840.
A tremendous excitement prevails in the
city in regard to a disturbance which took
place about an hour ago, [ten o'clock at
night.] The Whigs seemingly of all crea
tion held a meeting here to day. All places
of business were closed, and an immense
procession, which commenced in the mor
ning at eight o'clock, was held. Old T.p,
Governors Metcalf, Poindexter, %Vicki:ire,
Moorehead, &c., were the speakers. This
evening, an immense crowd of ladies and
tentlemen assembled in front of the Huron
ouse, where I stop. While Mr. Graves
of Kentucky, was speaking from the Por
tico, the meeting was broken up by a num
ber of Loco-focos, and ended in a general
fight. Brickbats, clubs, sword canes, Bow
ie knives, pistols, &c. were used. Several
have been badly hurt, some of whom have
just been brought in the house, and there
are all sorts of reports flying. I saw sev
eral pistols fired from my room window ;in
the third story.
Old Tip takes the stage for Pennsylva
nia to•morrow morning. So it is likely he
will bo with you before the electioa.
"What dd you think of the news from
Maine?" enquired a Whig of a Loco Foco.
0 0h1 it's just as I expected! We did'nt
hope to carry Maine" "In deed!—What
State do you expect to carry?" "To be can
did with you, it is my opinion that we are
sure of no State, but the Slate of retiracy.
—Detroit Advertiser
One of the best replies to the brawlers
about Gen Harrison's vote to dispose tem
porarily the services of convicts, is the
following from the N. Y. Courier and En
gull er.
"SELLING WHITE MEN INTO SLAVEHT."
—The most amusing humbug which the
administration is circulating against Harri
son is that of "Selling white men into sla
very." The class of voters that this is in
, tended to operate among must be convicts.
It may affect the feelings of the friends of
the Evening Post, in the city prison. The
selling into slavery was permission to work
out fines for criminal offences in labor on
the highwa3 : just ns men are here "sold in
to slavery" to hammer stone at the State
Prison. Instead ofeducating them to trades
in the State Prison, and thus making a State
monopoly in important branches of industry,
to the great detiiment of home mechanic;
the law referred to 'kept them at work on
the roads.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF GUILT. —At a
recent Whig meeting in Southampton, Va.,
Mr. Botts, tho able and faithful representa
tive from the Richmond District, addressed
the meeting in a speech of great vigor and
efilct. Among other things,Mr. Botts as
serted and appealed to Mr. Ligh, who was
present, for the truth of his assertion, "that
John W, Jones of Virginia—the file leader
of the Tory party in Congress, acknowledg
ed in his presence and hearing, that at the
time be voted, that the five Administration
claimants were entitled to their seats,

THREE IN A BED.—One of the resolu.
tions adopted at a Whig meeting in Concord
a few evenings since, read thus:—
"Resolved, That we congratulate the
Whigs of our sister States Vermont and
Maine, upon their late signal triumph over
the office holders and office seekers, and
that New Hampshire will yet prove herself
a sister worthy to lay in the Middle.
The Tories have set her a "snoozing"
along side of Miss Souri and Mrs. Sippi,
but the moment cold weather comes on
she'll jump out of bed "in the twinklin of
a bed-post," and get into a seperate coach

Too GOOD TO BE LOST.—In 1824 when
the contest between Iscasort and ADAMS
was at its height VAN &MEN facetiously
remarked, that Mr. ADAMS belonged to a
family that could not repeat—that they
were good four mile nage for a single heat
but always destined to be distanced on the
second trial! Wonder if he is'nt inclined
to think there is another nag ofa somewhat
similar character now entered for the se
cond heat, who from appearances, will not
only be distanced, but, 'break down' in the
first quarter and leave his competitor to
walk over the courser
CASS OF R. C. GWATIEINS.-Irt will be
recollected that during the summer of 1839,
a man by the name of Pitman was killed at
the white Sulpher Springs, by a man named
Gwatkins'who was arrested on the spot, and
committed for trial at the spring term of
the Superior Court of Greenbrier. At this
term he applied to have the venue changed
-MILTON.
to the county of Rockbridg,e, and the appli•
cation was granted. At the fall term of
the Rockbridge Court, he was tried, and
conv:cted of murder in the second degree.
Some legal questions arose on the trial,
which were carried to the Supreme Cour t, ,
by which tribunal the verdict was set aside,
and a new trial awarded. This new trial
was had, at the lasi term of the Roekbridge
Court, and the result was that Gwatkins
was convicted of murder in the first degree.
A Virginia paper states that his counsel
have made an effort to have the judgment
arrested and the verdict set aside; but the
result of the effort is not yet known.—Balt.
Patriot.

Again The Whigs of the Revolution
were jealous of hereditary power. They
intended to abut every avenue to its being
engrafted upon our system. The same jet•

lion of a President who had a son to tempt
him to abuse his power.

Van Bvrenl
I%6o:rm.—The Richmond Whig says
that during the recent Convention in that
city, an estimate of the Virginia vote in
November was prepared by the Whig Elect
toral candidates present, aided by the local
delegates. "The Whig mnjortty is estima
ted at 4,400—a calculation (says the editor)
which we and all, feel very confidence
will be more than fulfilled."
A Tonere - so hymnErrr.—The Balti
more American states that on Tuesday
evening. as a lad of about 12 years of age,
was reaching from the wharf at the foot o
Fell street on the Point, he lost his balance
and was precipitated into the water.. He
was seen by his mother, a German woman,
who, unable to speak English, ran about in
a frantic state for assistance; in the mean
time a blacksmith, named Charles Herges
heimer,who bad observed the accident from
the shop in which he was at work, had
thrown down his hammer, and hurrying to
the spot, plunged into the water, brought
up the boy and in other minute resto red
him to the overjoyed mother, nothing the
worse for his accidental bath than a drench
ed suit of clothes. The gratitude of the
mother for the prompt and manly act which
had rescued her son from an untimely
death, though it could be but imperfectly
expressed in words, must have been highly
gratifying to him who had been the instru
ment of her son's preservation.
Emma:yrs.—The British ship William
left Baltimore for Trinidad a few days since,
with nearly 250 persons of colour, who will
prabably become residents of that place.—
The Baltimore Clipper states that among
the passengers, were some of the most re
spectabie and useful portions of the colored
population of that city—"that every corn•
fort has been extended to them for their
passage; and the most liberal supply of
stores was provided by the excellent agent
who bad the arrangement. .This ship will
return, and sail again as soon as practica
ble for the same concern —and her passen
gers for that voyage are making up rapid.
ly. At the same time vessels are now
preparing, and are advertised to go to Ja
maica and the British West India Islands
for the same purpose."
REVOLT AMONG THE SLAVES.—.The
Howard, Maryland, Free Press of Satur
day says:
A most desperate affray took place on
Mr. Green's plantation, in Anne Arundel
county, on Friday, but which fortunately
terminated without any serious injury to the
parties concerned. Three or four of the
negroes employed by Mr. G. refused to
obey the orders of the overseer, and threat.
ened to murder his family, and he attempt
ed to chastise them; but they reskted his
attempts. He found it necessary to sum
mon a 'posse comitates,' and an officer was
immediately sent for, who arrived in good
season, but not before the negroes had arm
ed themselves with scythes and clubs, ready
to resist all attempts to arrest theni. . The
officer together with theaverseer attacked
them, but after a desperate effort, they were
compelled to give up the conflict.
The negro who was armed with the
scythe made a pass at the head of the offi
cer, who barely escaped having his head
severed from his body, the weapon passing
' immediately over it; the officer at this issue
discharged a pistol at the man and lodged
the contents immediately under the left
I shoulder, but with no serious effect. The
Inegro, who was a strong and muscular man,
made another pass at the overseer and
............-
191 3 3r1/,,iL*4 1 4 4 C0 , 4 Z 14511 0
struck him on the arm, the weapon, howev.
er , glancing downwards and only severing
the flesh from the bone. The officer and
overseer then found it necessary to retreat
and recruit their force; they were, however,
pursued by the negroes, and only made
their meal% by the fleetness of their horses.
The negroes, with ono exception, have since
been arrested and committed to jail.
It is stated that the Amistand and her
cargo are to be sold at New London on the
15th inst. by order of the U. S. Circuit
Court. The cargo consists of dry goods,
hardware, crockery, vermicelli, &c. selec
ted for a Spanish market. Also, a mill for
grinding sugar-cane. The negroes of the
Amistad are still living at [Westville,' New
Haven, in charge of Mr. Wilcox, the Uni
ted States Marshal, and are very comforta
bly situated. Their case is now in the
hands of the Supreme Court of the United
States, who meet at Washington in Janne.
ry next. If this court confirms the decision
of the Court below, the Africans will be im
mediately set at liberty.
LOVE AND Pourics.—The ladies of
Maine are almost without exception all
Whigs. In the town of Bristol, a young
girl who was engaged to a young fisherman
in the Island of Monhegan, which is attach
ed to that town, end who Was suspected of
locofocoism; told him that she would banish
him from her favor unless he voted the Whig
ticket. The young man, who by the way
was just 21, and• had consequently never
voted before, dimurred, but his lady love
was inexorable, and very justly insisted that
notto bo a whig in these times, argued either
a lack of intelligence and discernment, or a
want of' principle and true patriotism.--
Neither deficiency was to be overlooked by
her, and he need never come and see her
again, therefore, if he did not vote the Her.
rison ticket. Love and prejudice had ri hard
contest, but the former triumphed. The
young man voted the entire whig ticket,anit
Thorpes, the whig candidate, was chosen
by one majority. The damsel is surely
deserving the thanks, not only of the young
man who she thus saved from the sin of
locofocoism,but of every true republican of
the state.—Providence Journal
Tna MAIDENS Or MAINE.--
_•The follow
ing incident is related to have taken place
in one of the unorganized plantations near
the head of the Kennebec river. The vo
ters in the township being about equally
divided, and as they had to travel about
twenty miles to vote in the nearest town,
an agreement was made between the whigs
and Locos that they should pair off and all
stay at home. On the Sunday before elec
tion, the Locos concluded to steal a march
upon the W.higs, and give in their own
votes, without letting the Whigs, know
that they were gone to the meeting. They
intended to start early in the miming, be
fore daylight, and before any of the Whigs
were stirring. But it so happened that this
well-laid plan was defeated by the activity
of a resolute Whig girl. She had a sweet
heart who was a Locofoco, and who came
to pay her a visit on Sunday evening, accor
ding to the good old fashion of New Eng.
land; and, as he was about taking his leave
earlier than usual, the girl insisted upon
knowing the reason. which he unwittingly
disclosed. No sooner was he gone, than
this true-hearted Whig girl went to her
neighbors, told the Whigs what was going
on, and before sunrise had them all on the
way to town meeting, where they arrived a

MELANCHOLY CASUALTII..—W. R. I'.
CHAPLAIN, a gentleman who had been stay
ing at BARNUM'S Hotel, in Baltimore. on
Wednesday, departed for Philadelphia on
Thursday morning. On Thursday evening,
as will be eeen by our hymenial head, he
was married to a Miss MURDOCK, in this
city, and they arrived in tho steamboat line.
and, took apartments in the City Hotel, at
Baltimore. Dinner was ordered, but Mr.
CHAPLAIN declined eating any, and called
for some water to wash himself. At that
time he appeared to be weak and sire gger
ing. However, when the table was set, he
eat of the fare moderately, and after drink
ing a glass of wine, said he felt much bet
ter. He then retired to the chamber where
he fell down in a fit, and in .a short time ex
pired. The Sun states that medical aid was
celled in, but it was of no avail. He had
been for some time previous in ill health,
but on the morning of his leaving Philadel
phia ho appeared to be completely renova
ted. The unfortunate gentleman who has
thus been snatched from anticipated earthly
happiness, and left a young widow to mourn
her bereavement, was a native of Cam
bridge, Md., and a resident of Mississippi.
The threshold of happiness is too often the
entrance to the charnel house.
