But, alas! not one of these has been consu-

great interests ofthe country, in an unguar-

which they complained of sixty-four years
ago, and compelled them to declare their
independence. Let‘ me ask if you believe
that the honest, intelligent, candid American
‘ can longer be induced to think that the bea-
con liglits which you speak of can be foster-
ed by an individual who tells the People
that history is untrue; that the gallant, the
generous, the patriotic Harrison, is a Feder-
alist; that he is a mock hero; that he is an
ablitionist; that he is a tongueless candidate;
and that the institutions of the country are to
be preserved by the re-election of a President
who has dictated laws of revenue and fi-
nance, and, before consummated, arrogantly
grappled the treasury of the country, pro-
scribing individual citizens, daringly attack-
ing the soveignty of the. States, depriving in-
stitutions of chartered rights, disfrancliising
an independent State of_this Confederacy to
procure pecuniary power, and, finally, re-
commending a Standing Army of two hun-
dred thousand chosen men in profound peace?
What are these but habilimcnts of an insuf-

THE DIFFERENCES.
Gen, Harrison captured at the battle of the
Thames 6,000 stand of arms, five vessels of
war, mid nmunition and stores worth 81,
000,000. Can any body show when and
where Mr. Van. Buren ever saved a life or
earned a dollar for his country? On the
contrary after accummlating a princely pri-
vate fortune for himself dury a life of luxu-
ry and case, has he not squandered at the
rate of twenty millions of the public annual-
ly since he has been President? that being
the annual average excess of his expenditures
over those of Mr. Adams. Gen. Harrison
has made himself poor inenrichiug us; and
after a long life of public service, is obliged
to work for his daily bread. lVitliin a pe-
riod of two years he routed the enemies of
his country at Tippecanoe, at Fort Meigs
and at the Thames, and thus rescued thou-
sands of lives and millions of property from
a savage foe. Mr. Van Buren has spent
more than three years, and twenty millions
of money in the Florida \var, without even
subdueing a meagre band of halfstarved In-
dians—a handful of savages that Gen. Jack-
son oncc said he could make a breakfast of.
Now whose services are more entitled to the
reward, and which of the two men most de-
serves the (,‘onfidc-ncc, ofthe country?

The following historical fact from the N. Y.
Star,may not be uninteresting tolliose who claim
that the present administration party belong to
the Jeffeisoniau school.
Of the twelve Electors who voted for Mr.
Jefferson in 1800, the following survive:
John Woodworth, of Albany;
Pierre Van Cortlandt, of West Chester;
James Burt, ofOrange.
Ofth_e Senate rs who voted for those Elec-
tors, the following survive :
Ambrose Spencer, now of I-'Vayne Cox,
James W. W’atkins, of Orange.
Of the Members of Assembly who voted
for those Electors, the following survive:
Nicoll Floyd, Suffolk:
Samuel G. Verbryck, Rockland;
Smith Thompson, Dutches;
Peter Townsend, Orange;
Erastus Root, Delaware;
James Merrill, Saratoga;
Archibald McIntyre, Albany.

exception of one of these worthics, all of them

recently delivered in the House of Representa-

from Massachusetts. the following pgssage oc-
curs : " -
“It is true, sir, that a greater portion ofthe
laborers of France, are deprived of the use
of ANIMAL 1-‘oon; but does it follow, that
as a whole, they are tkc -worse of? No.
sir—so far from it, I have the authority of
an English Statesman, who speaks from ob-
servation and a critical examination of the
subject, that the 'rct~crse is the case."
How say you Working Men !—Is not
the Administration growing bold ? They
have been preaching a reduction of wages
for you, until they suppose you are familiar
with that subject; now they are a going to
teach you another lesson of Demos-ratio pol-
icy. Mr‘. Van Buren says that “twenty two
foreign goveruients adopt the Su'b-treasury
principles,” and one of his instrurnents cites
you to the “authority of an English. States-
man,” to convince you that you can live
without “animal food.” The next thing that
you will hear will be tliata clean cotton shirt

FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
JOIIN TY LER, of Virginia.
I LonisiAi<A.—'1‘lie non-arrival of the South-
ern mails for ilie last few days has left us with-
out any certain information from Louisiana, in
respect to the Third district. Nor is ityet defi-
nite, although four days’ mails arrived together
at New York, on Sunday lost. In the first dis-
trict, as we stated last week, the Whigs are
ahead by it large inajoriiy--20-15. ‘ In the sec-
ond, the Federal Locos have it by 13 volt-s.——
And in the third we are yet in the dark. The
best we can say is from the N. 0. Bulletin oi‘
the 18th inst. "The possibility of Moore's dc.-
feat is too slight to create appreliensions as to Ilia
result. He goes into the two last parishes of
the state, in hull! of which the parties are nearly
equally divided, with n majririiy of more than
two hundred votes,”
In the legislatuie itsecms to be generally enn-
ceded that we have a small inzjmii_y., tibia:
much, is not yet known.
