TO THE PUBLIC.

|, the undersigned, take this opportunity
Of clearing myself Of the base, slanderous
and groundless report which is in clrcuia-
ton about me, concerning Mr.. Maxwell's
house being robbed. 1t was stated by Mr..
Maxwell tEat the doors of his house were
broken open and about thirty dollars and
few pounds of powder taken theretrom.
1t is true that on the day the house was said
to have been broken open, went to Mr..
Maxweli's, but not finding him at home,
did not get off my horse, but turned from
the gate and vert TO DR.. L. Cruises. and
from thence home. Some time afterwards
! saw Mr.. Maxwell at DR.. Cruises, when
he (MaXwelD iniormedme that his house had
heen robbed, and said to him that ! was
there, and perhaps it was me that done it,
and we all laughed. The render must know
that this conversation got into the ears and
mouths of my enemies, and now the report
is in circulation that Mr.. Maxwell accuses
me of the act. But the public can see BY
the following certificates of Mr.. b. Max
we'll and DR.. 7. Cruise, whether either OF
these gentlemen, who was present when the
conversation took place, accuse me Of do
ing the act:

BADLY "RUN IN THE GRoUNp."

The charges of Federalism" "Aboltiousm,"
"old Granyism" and General MumiSm," have been
so badly 'run IN the ground" by the verdict of the
people, in the recent elections, that geneel people
have to enquire what is now meant by them, if a
loco happens to be found soft enough to expose
himself by repeating the terms in reference II the
straight forward soldier and Statesman Of Ohio.

VAN BURENISM.

When the suffrage law was before the New
York Convention, Mr.. Van Buren, voted to
amend it so that safftage should not be confined
to ''phite' male citizens, bu: open to blacks
He then, being opposed to ''cheapening" the
right OF voting by making it universal, moved to
limit the right to "house-holders."
Remember, therefore, fellow. citizens, that Mr..
Van Buren, considers negro with household
entitled to VOTE and that white man who is
poor is not entitled to that privilege. See the
Journal OF the n. Y. Convention.

GENERAL HARRISON'S MILITARY
ACHIEVEMENTS.

Extract from the Temarks of Mr.. Crary,
of Michigan, in the House OF Representa-
tives, Friday, Feb. ID, ls40.
The gentleman from Indiana Mr., Prof
ht1 who occupied the floor yesterday, has
brought before the House the hero Of North
Bend, not as he is in his old age, with men.
tai lnGrmitiss fast thickening upon him, but
as he was when in command OF the North
western army in the last war. The gentle
man has applauded the Presidential candi-
date of the opposition fer three great ex-
ploits lst the battle Of TippscaRoe; I'd,
being the first 10 suggest the armament Of
the lakes; and, lastly, for the battle of the
Thames. l have few words 10 say on
each of these subjects.
Any one who will put himself to the
trouble of reading tho official accounts OF
the battle Of Tippecanoe, will see that Gen,
Harrison performed no great act Of general
ship on that occasion. From the General 9
own confessions, the army was encamped
iR an exposed position, affordiag "gredt
facility to the approach Of SGvGgeS," and
at night was completely surprised by the
Indians, and only escaped destruction by
the gallanlry OF the brave Kentuckians, and
party OF the old fourth regiment frsin
Massachusetts. But would confne my
self to the official report, that will prSye all
that has been asserted. 1t will also prove
that General Harrison was the greatest ego.

circumstance exists, aside from what have
noticed above, which would make me reluc-
tant to present this petition--it comes from
ladies', ordained by nature, and by the cus-
TENS OF all civilized nations 10 occupy a
higher place in society than that Of petit
TONERS to a legislative body.
II courtesy could induce me, on subject
that could not become matter of injurious
notorieiy,to present petition from females
yet l should regard it purely as matter Of
courtesy, and not Of constitutional right
The rights Of women are secure through
the coarser sex-their fathers, their hus-
bands, and their brothers. II is the right OF
woman to maintain modest retirement
in the hustle of politics and of war. She
does not serve on juries, nor perform the
duties of the bailff or execu,ioner, because
1t would be degradation Of her dignity. -
She does not take up arms and meet her
country's foes because she is priviledged
character, and man is her substitute, who
represents her in all these drudgeries.--
Every man is bound by the perfect law oi
custom, of nature, and of henor, to protect
and serve her, This is the light in which
the law Of God places the wompn. She is
yelled and silent oven in religious discus.
sions not because che is unworthy, but be
cause she 10 exempt GrOm the strife of man
and it is her right to observe that retireC
modestv which renders her the object of ad
Iniration and esteem. In this respect, thu
Constitution of our country is established
upon the principle OF the Divine law. |
the rights Of man are inviolsble, they are O
course confirmed TO women and the mos
digniGed OF the sox are the least inclined t.
meddle with public matters. Ipresume fe
males, who sign petitions. should b
very reluctaRt to be accessory to an &C
which should, in any degree, cast shad
Of reproach upon an individual Of that sex
whose modest dignity is the glory ,

my views in returning the potition,as lno'
