an Indian fighter. You could not drive

me = added yet third !; Il saw little
Martin in Broad way the other day with
President Duer /; he was such a slick
chap; he looked as il he had just come
out OF the upper drawer should be
afraid to touch him lest it would rumple
him up J; but old Tippeeanoe here, is
as plain as you please; he don't look
any better than common folks.-That
old hat he must have worn year, and
that old cam Die, cloak, | dare say he
slept on 10 the woods when he made
Proctor run, and Tecamseh got his bel
ly full.'
A fourth whom we saw, was as
frantic as the mad bull that the Jour-
nal of Commerce made such noise a.
bout some Sundays gone by. THAT'S
an old Granny, is il? Hurrah for old
Tip of-canoe.-Hurrah whoorah
whoorah again (raising his voice to
higher pitcb) | 60 for all the Gener-

these ten years but III never hurrah
for Van Buren,, as they call him. You
can't Hurrah his name at all. There
is no hurrah in it. Hurrah for old
TIP of canoe : (and he screamed out
again in louder voice) HURRAH FOR
OLD TIp oF-CANos Hurrah for the
Granny! Hurrah for the Petticoat |!

Multiplied might be the instances
such as this, but others are not neces-
sary, as these show the feelings Of the
crowd. We have collected and pub
lshed them, not that we think the
phraseology chosen, or the sentiments
as appropos as they might be, but as
indicating the soay the ssindis blos0
ing. Ii is vain it is useless to at.
tempt to conceal the fact, that there is
tide, aye tempest setting in favor
of Harrison, which needs but time be-
tween now and November to carry all
before it.
The New York American says-This
visit has given the lie very positively and
conclusively to some two or three Of the
fabrications of the VAN buren, press
especially those which pretend to repre-
sent Gen. Harrison as a broken down old
man, without capacity. He has been
seen by tens of thousands and they found
themselves looking upon man of plain
farmer-like appearance, of thin, wiry and
active form, of quick and intelligent eye,
and altogether as little like decrepitude
as can well be imagined. He has been
heard, too, by thousands, and on oeea-
sions when he could not in the nature of
things have been prepared in advance, e.
his replies have evinced tact, knowledge.
instruction, and principles well settled in
his own mind, and frankly expressed to
others.
We have not doubt, if Mr.. VAN Bu-
Rem and Mr.. HARRISON should 60 forth
together & unaccompanied, upon tour
throughout the United States, and be
brought into contact with the people, and
that the issue of the Presidential election
should be determined by the impression
respectively produced by the manners,
appearance, aud speeches of each, that
Gen. Harrison would beat the favorite
son-eiean out of sight.
