We do not envy General Harrison that pinnacle of
honour to which he has climbed. It is at this moment
one of peculiar danger and difficulty. As to the war-
cry, he does not seem.to us to be the man. who would
risk his popularity to any great extent in order to
suppress it; but still it is only reasonable to expect
that he may desire to commence his administration by
endeavouring to restrain an outbreak of folly so re-
plete with injurious, if not ruinous consequences.

Our Whig contemporary, the Albion, by his_ publica-
tion of yesterday, has been much occupied by the
STANDARD family, and devotes four leading articles
of his paper to the consideration of our numerous
errors and deficiencies. As to our London name-sake,
we know not that he is aware of all the attention be-
stowed upon him, for his good, by our local reviewer
and critic; but as tvc cannot plead ignorance on the
subject, it would be unpardonable of us not to aclAw-
ledge it in some way or other.

In the first place, the 'Albion evinces a remarkable
anxiety as to the state of our editorial health, both
mental and bodily, and volunteers to perform the office
of surgeon, physician, and apothecary in our behalf.
" Our sympathies," he says, "are divided between the
established church and the intruder to the palace"—a
very bad symptom indeed, and evidently of a strong
anti-whiggish character—" we are careful for our
Church, and our most gracious Queen"—oh, shocking!
It is plain that we are in great need of a Whig phy-
sician, if not of hellebore, and the voyage to Antycira,
to cure us in these respects. But let us hear more of
our case ; this is only, as it were, the first feeling of

our pulse. " Extreme nervous excitement produces
extraordinary illusions."—" Tories and Tory editors
must live in a state of trepidation"—(more shame to
give them fresh cause, say we)—" Turn his eyes which
way he will, he sees cause for fear and trembling. On
the one side stands a Jew and on the other a Catholic,
both waiting for tardily administered justice; one
requires the rights of citizenship which are his , due ;
the other looks but for the fulfilment of a bargain and
for an equitable appropriation." We would guard our
country against Papists and Infidels, the one of whom
is only waiting, as our witness says, for " tardily ad-
ministered justice," and the other for the fulfilment of
a " bargain" and an " equitable appropriation"—and
oh monstrous evidence of disease and infirmity ! We
see in THIS " cause for fear and trembling"—when,
if we were like our physician, could be doctored by
hint to any purpose, we should be rejoicing at the

.ect64c)reus

We really had no notice before of

the alarming state of our case, and now perceive, in
the clearest manner, that it is confirmed "CONSERVA.-
TI3M," and nothing less. But what says our Doctor

by, that his opinion, " the subject is worthy of

consideration by the " Health Committee" of the Town

Council." But nay, friend, why Should we go to the

Town Council.

Our volunteer

iEsculapius manifests such anxiety on
our account, and pours forth such torrents of physic,
or wit as he supposes it to be, for our recovery, that
till he fairly gives up our case as desperate, we shall
allow him all reasonable opportunity to .try his skill
