The Elections.

this State are very incomplete yet,
undoubtedly, the Wing party have in.
creased 10 numbers since the last Pre-
sidential Election. Our information
enables US to say that out Of the 30
members of Congress, which that state
is entitled TO, we have elected 10 and
the Van Buren, party 13-The Cham
bersburg PA. Repository says-"We
do not believe that the result Of the
late election ought to discourage the
friends Of Gen. HARRISON. The causes
which operated to produce il cannot
bear on his election to any extent. The
election has been small every where,
and the Vanites have carried by very
small majorities. The Wing majority
10 Philadelphia alone overbalanees the
united msjorities of nearly all the
counties heard from, In which the Van

the honesty Of Others, They have 10
some instances, really impressed on
the minds OF the more uniformed
that General Harrison was net in the
battle of the Thames, and that Colonel
Johnson was the hero Of the dayt
Now the truth is, that General Har'
rison was not only on the field I'll
battle. but gave The order to Colona
Johnson to charge upon the Indian
line commanded by Tecumseh. Coll
Johnson obeyed the order, as it was
his duty to do, and thus Gen. HarrI'
son furnished him with an opportunity
to distinguish himself as brave and
useful officer. Gen. Harrison comman-

had lived in the Rue Valois. The prisoner is of a
dark complexion, with great beard, which sur
rounds his chin. His costume was apparently
decent and clean, but it concealed a very much
soiled shirt, which no avowed he had worn for
three weeks.
There were found upon him two very short
clay tobacco pipes, % sous, a calico pocket
handkerchief, which had never been hemmed
and which was disgustingly flthy-a board
comb-and in fine, conteau poignard dagger

clared he intended to have killed himself, and he
did, in fact, attempt to stab himself, but pro-
vented. He displayed vast assurances and eff
frontery. He refused to give any satisfactory
answer to the questions put to him. Lying on
the guard bed he looked round with audacity, and
said to those present" If were free would do

But, this after all, is all ExPEDIENcy. In case
of conflict, who can tell where it may end, or
what its consequences Fearful question
agonizing conjecture! What vast sums of money
will be required to carry on civil strife--what
ombittered feeling and hatred will prevail and
how blasting to the hopes of the friends of repu-

Of monarchists and tyrants. Let all reflect with
that GOODNESS and dispassionate contemplation
which the subject SO much requires, and above all
let us remember that the tree of liberty when
