'1‘U"l‘IIE PEUPLE.
The editor has the pleasure to announce
to his numerous readers, that he has re-
turned to his post with -improved health,
and well satisfied that tlte re-election of
General Jackson can and will be defeated.
if proper exertions be made by those who
are couviuced,as_ he is, that every con_SI0—
(‘THIIUII which binds an American citizen
to his country ; ‘which stimulates every
lover of liberty to maintain our free tiisit-
tutions,as €8l8.l)llSllt‘:lCl by our ancestors;
require it. Entertaining these_ views, he
proposes to publislt between this time and
the presidential election, aiiextra Tole-
graph, to‘ contain thirteen numbers, in
which he will endeavour to dcinloltslfflle
that Andrew Jackson ought not to be re-
elected President ofthe Uttited States, and
he" invites all those who coriciir= with him
in opinion, to unite with him in the per-
formance of his duty ; to demonstrate that
every patriot should rally in defence of
the ~Constitiition. The great body of
those who voted for General Jackson l"
1828, voted for hint from elevated and
patriotic motives. He has violated al-
most every principle tipoit which his elec-
tion was advocated, & almost every pledge
made by hiutself and by his friends in his
behalf. We believe that the great body
of the partywliovoted for hitn are un--
clianged. 'I hey are now, as theit, the ad-
vocates of the priiiciples upon which he
came into power ; whereas. circumstances
have conspired. to place those. who were
opposed to the election of Gen. Jackson
in such relation to him that they are now
the advocates of the principles which he
was elected to tnaintain but has deserted.
This, then, is the tnoinettt for all these
who are opposed to the improper exercise
ofExecutive patronage——to_ all interfer-
ence of_the Executive in the appoiintent
of his successor--to rally in defence ofthe
great interests which are involved in the
contest, to defeat those daring and corrupt
politicians who have seized ttpon the name
and popularity of Gen. Jackson, and who,
tinless theyaro met and defeated, will sub-
vert the very foundation of liberty, and
convert this Government into the corrupt
engine of the most odious and profligate
despotism. We believe that ottr duty re-
quires us to demonstrate that Gen. Jack-
son ought not to be re-elected. It is the
duty of the people to select his successor,
and upon them we cast the responsibility,
satisfied that, let the choice fall on whom
it may, the moment is propitious for the
propagation of those great and fundamen-
tal priiiciples of public liberty to which we
are devoted. and in the ntainteiiance of
which we consider. the support of men as

A CARD.
To THE PuBt.ic.——In looking overtlie
Richmond Whig, National I-ntelligenccr,
Globe, and United States Telegraplt, I
have seen the different reports.-and state-
ments in relation to the late contesvor dis-
pute ia the Senate chamber ofthe United
States, between the Hon. Henry Clav of
Kentucky, and Hon. Thomas H.'Be'nton
ofMisi-iouri, as to what Mr. Benton said in
Missouri, previous to the election of Gen,
Jackson as President ofthe Uuitecl States.
' u‘“’l"é Teslded in the states of Missou.
ri and Kentucky, for a number of years
preyious to the election, and being ac-
quatnted with botlt the above named gen-
tlemen for twenty five or twenty six yr,-3;-q,
I conceive it to be a duly incumbem 0,,
ins, thus to give publicity to what came
under my iininediatenotice, in relation 3,,
the above matter,
Col. Thomas H. Benton stated in mv
presence, and that of several other gentle-
m99s'l'l ‘he ¢l'.Y»0f'St. Louis, Mo. in the
latter part of the summer or fall of N23,
that "if Gen. Jackson was elected Presi.
dent of the_Uuited Slates, over-yimm op.
posed to ltim, and wishing to support his
°“"'”d’8'“')'i Would be obliged to arm
‘himself’, and guard his house with bulldogs
0 ur project of
Front the U. S. Telegraph.
The Globe has done us the favor to no-_
iice our address to the public, and says, “if
Mr. Clay were elected, Mi‘. Calhoun is
well aware that it would instantly estab-
lish the soul/torn lcugiti: which is looked
to by him as the only hope of trVUI' agum
altaiiiing political potver.”
VVB tire satisfied that this (lei-.l:-iration of
the Globe, the political vatie by which the
purposes of Mr. Van Burch ’:_~'_e lobe ll]-.
terpreted, deserves the cot-st'tei:atio.'t of
every southern man. It is nothing lltfift‘
nor less titan this : If Mr. Clay is elected
the South will lJt:C0tl)U uiiitod ; the tariff
will be satisfactorily ittljtisti-.tl ; and llliti
being the only imputliinoiit iii hs w:t__v, hlr.
Callmtiit will again attain politiv-til pewter‘.
But, ifGen. Jackson is elected, he will so
use his “ po iver and patronage” as to di-
vide the south, pt-evetit an ntljustiiteiit of
the tariff, and tli.-feat M.. Calhoun, by ap-
pointirtg Mr. Van Bureu his SUCCt.':S;-it>l'.—-
This is the only fair irtiewpreizitioti of
which the remark of the Globe is suscep-
tible.
‘ll ’ * It is time that the north and the
sotttli should open their eyes to the ftaurl
that is pluyi .g off tipoii them. if such
asoutltern league as will pltce M Cal-
houn in power, will iritiiiediately t:.ikc place
nn'the election of Mr. Cla_v,tlii>u it is the
interest of the south that Mr. Clay should
be elected. ‘In making this declaration,
we look to the relation which opposing
political parties bear to the south, and
speak of Mr. C-.ilhoun’s political advance-
meitt in connection with what we believe
to be the interests of the whole. In
‘defending his character, and looking to
his future elevation, if we know our own
motives, we are governed by desire to
promote the welfare of all the Statcs.—-
Our wish is '0 secure his talents, experi-
ence, and services for his counti'y,it is not
to gratify him at the expense of his cotiii-
tiy. If the result ofthe election of Mr.
Clay, would be to establish such it “sou'.lt-
ern league” as would elevate Mr. Calhoun
into power, then the election of Mr. Clay
would be followed by asaiisfactory adjust-
ment ofthe tariff; because suchan adjust-
ment of that vexed question ntust precede
Mr. Calltoun's protnotioii to a higher office.
It then follows, upon the showing of the
Globe, that the great object of Gen.Jack-
son’s beluga candidate, is to prevent Mr.
Calheun’s coming into power, and it fol-
lows, asa corolary of this proposition, tlt.it
he is unwilling that the ta-iffshould be so
adjusted as to satisfy the south, becatisi:
Mr. Van Burcn is aware that qviestion a-
lone stands in the way ofl\1r. Calhourt’s
political advancement. And yet the
Globe, his organ, has the uitblusliiiig im-
pudc-itce to :all upon the people of the
south; and many ofiliem are so blittd as
to believe that the election of Andrew
Jackson will promote the interests of the
I": V‘V'iir:t- runituuttuii :{]§' '£‘Itt: (In.

From the U. S. Tclcgrapii.--By attri-
buting whatever is said by this press to the
dictation of Mr. Calliotin, the Globe la-
bors to place as oti the saute degrailed po-
sllloil which that print occupies. It open-
ly avows that it was established to supott
General Jackson, right or it mug, and could
it persuade the people that we support Mr.
Calhoun, right or wrong, the qtiostion be-
tween us would be reduced simply to it
question of men; whereas ifsuch consider-
titjoits had governed us we would have wor-
shipped Geiteral Jackson with so much
skill that Francis P. Blair, and Autos
Kendall, would have remained ourliumble
tlatterers ready to do any work at our
bidding. Hail we consented to affiliate
with John H. Eaton, and Witt. B. Lewis,
and to flatter and fawn upon A.udrcwJack-
son, we would have been the pttwer be-
bind the throne, dispensing favors, and
lining our pockets with the pwqitisilcs of
patronage. We could have had fat con-
tracts and Govt-ritinent s_ncctilatioris.——
Hziving refused to abandon our principles,
when required to do so by Gan. Jackson,
no one can suppose that we would do it to
gratify any other person. By reliitquislt-
ing the patronage of the ndministraIioti,we
have given an unequivocal proof of our
sincerity. The Globe is knowit to be ve-

looking over the procet-dings ofthe demo-

BENNINGTON BATTLE GROUND.
On the itsorniug of the 16th ‘of July last,
I had the pleasure ofjoining a party ofla-
dies and getttleiiien, riding on horseback,
to view the ground wltere the celebrated
Benningtnn Battle was fought. Although
it is called the Battle of Bennington, yet
the actual engageineitt took place in Hoo-
sick near the Vermont line.’ It probably
received its name from the fuel, that lll0
object ofstrife was situated in Beiiningtoir,
and that the people ofplacii, old &. young,
tzontributed iriucli to this small but impor-
tziiit victory. - ‘
Oar course was Northwest, about nine
miles from the Cntltl House.
Although the sun did not shine upon us
in his streitgtli, yet the iuterposing clouds
served only to add fresh coolness to tho
niuriiiitg, and to eiiliaince the pleasure of
our ride. The whole company appeared
in fine spirits ; our horses were gay and
lively, and even the "old dog Hector sceni-
ed to partake of the goueral gladness.
0:1 (either side of the road the fields were
loaded with abundance; while ltere and
there was seen the farmer who seemed to
rejoice as his strong hands gathcredutltesn
fruits of his summer's toil. ~
We continued o'ur way, sometimes upon-
the greenibanks ofa pure and tintid stream,
at other rising abruptly to the. high suin-
inits of those bills fr. whence lay stretch-
ed far in the blue distance a bold yet de-
lightful landscape. '
After a most delightful ride of about 7'
miles, we were informed that a spot of
some interest was near at liatid. A farmer
living near, learning the object of our vis-
it, mooittotl his n.-tg in a twinkling, and
came galloping to tell us what he knew a-
bout the matter. We all iminediately,
wlteeled and gave iiiiti audiaitce ; where-
upon he raised himself in his stirrups, (or
by the way I believe he was bareback.)
and pointed to an orchard upon a steep
side hill to the right, and said-—“ Fifty-
live years ago the fourteenth day of next
August, General John ‘Stark eiicamped in
that orchard, then just zplauted, to watch
the inovements of Col. Baum, who had
just advantageously posted himself upon a
hill about two miles below.”
Otir minds soon ran back to the time
when the whole surrounding pountry soun-
ded with the din of battle; when even
the place whereon we looked,was covered
with ardent warriors. But now how chan-
ged l On the satire turf where was the
bustle ofa camp, the timi d flock was ly-
ing in perfect quiet, and where was fear
and apprehension, is now peace and safety,
each “ under his own vitie and fig tree,
and none to molest or make him afraid.”
After listening to our informant for some
time, we bade him good morning, and re-
aonsisting of the regulars under Col._"
lor, tour iundreit in number, part off
ry’s, Pose-y’s and‘ Alexaridefs brig
toers, amounting to all to thirteen lliJztLll'O(l
men and immediately fell upon the trail
ofthe eneniy, and pursued it by a forced
march through a mountainous aitd diffi-
cult country, till the morning of the 2nd
inst., when we came up with his main
body on the left batik of the Mississippi,
nearly opposite the mouth of Ioway, wh.
we attacked, defeated, and dispersed, with
a loss on his part of about one hundred and
fifty men killed, 39 women and children
prisouei‘s—the precise number could not
be ascertained, as the greater portion was
slain after being forced into the tiver.—
Oar loss in killed and wounded, which is
stated below, is very small in comparison
tvith the loss of the enemy, which, may be
attributed to the enemy’s being‘ forced
from his positions by a rapid cliai-go, at
the commencement and throughout the
ettgageiiteiit-—the remnant of the enemy
cut up and disheartened, crossed to the
opposite side the river and has fled iitto
the interior, with a view, it is supposed, of
joining Ke-o-Kuck and Wtipcllo’s bands
of Sacs and Foxes.
The horses of the volunteer troops be-
ing exhausted by long marches, and the
regular troops without shoes, it was not
thought advisable to continue the pursuit :
indeed a stop to the further effusion of
blood seemed to be called for till it might
be ascertained if the enemy would not
surrender. _
It is ascertained from our prisoners that
the enemy lost in the battle on the Ouis-
consin 68 killed and a very large number
wounded ; his whole loss does not fall
short of three hundred-—after the battle
on the Ouisconsin the eitemy’s women
and children, and some who were dis-
nio.iuted, attempted to make their escape
by descending that river, but judicious
measures being taken by Capt. Lootnis
and Gen. Street, Indian Agent, thirty-
two women and children and four men
have been captured, and some 15, men kil-
led by the detachment iindorLieut.Ritner.
The d_ay after the battle on this river,
I fell down with the regular troops to this
place by water, and the mounted men will
'niu us to-day. It is now my purpose to
direct Ke-o-Kuck to demand a surrender
of the remaining principle men of the hos-
tile party, which from the large uuiiiber
of women and children we hold prisoners,

Leaving the old linitse, we followed up-
on the banks ofthe river,‘ which we were
obliged to ford in two places. As we ap-
proached the last fording place, the river,
being swollen by late rains, roiled its dark
waters in a current so strong and deep that
it made the good courage of our ladies to,
waver. However, we crossed without ac-
