Mr.. Trotter: Sir--While reaping in wheat
field few days since, and contemplating the ap-
preaching presidential election after viewing and
reviewing some Of the men belonging to the pre-
sent whig party, came to the conclusion that
they are led oil by soundIess faction, composed
of all the bank dupes of the day, headed by law
yers, merchants, and their mynnidons--all try
ing to rally under the banner Of a snperanuated
old granny. While thus engaged, one of the
Young gentry, clerk in store in that little die
taiorial village, Burlington, who was raised in
the shade, and who, suppose, was sent out 10 as
certain if my whig principles remained steEdfast,
commenced discanting upon the times and the
election of Harrison, drew from his pocket han
kerchiOf, upon which was imprinted the bust Of
the old General, also a pictorial representation
Of a cider barrel, gave it flourish before me for
the purpose of attracting my attention, and then
in a foppish manner drew it across and wiped
his nose. became disgusted at his performance
and parade, and now believe that such devices,
parades, log cabin raisings, and babboon testi-
walls corfespond~With the idOlatry and ignorance
of heather nations, and is calculated 10 debase
the cha acter and morals of American citizens
therefore now abandon party which has no
fixed principles, and whose policy is to deceive
by lies, destroy by ISLANDERS, and bsguile by songs.
To my fellow laborers andltarmers who wish to
perpetua e our free institutions, beseech you to
como forward once more, and by your votes teach
these bank hirelings and slaves, that the spirit Of

When Harrison attempted at this place in his

struck with the shallow art6ce to catch votes.
When the baboon convention which met here

luton inviting Gei Jackson to visit thlsplace on
the 4th ofJuly, every person saw at once that it
was TO coanteract the effect of the invitation by
the Daaocfatic members of the Legislature, and
to run Harrison.as far as possible on Jackson's
popularity
But a man of Gen. Jackson's open, bold and
prompt republican character, was not willing that
such uses should be made Of his name to promote
