1--WE shall surrender all our conquests at peace
1t is indeed hopeful exploit for Harrison, with
five thousand troops, who have been assembling
and preparing ever since July, 1912, 20 fight and
conquer four hundred and fifty worn ont, exhausted
British regular, whom the Indians had previously
deserted

With regard to the anti-war papers
from which extracts are taker, VIC will
only say that the Salem Gazette has long
since passed into different hands, and the
present conductors arc men of other days.
They came into active life, as we did, at
a period when the old BIRTHS, Federal
party was extinct, and were never in
llucnccd by the views and feeling of the
anti-patrots. OF the Daily Advertiser,
and its internal affairs as then conducted,
we know nothing.
Now, who arc the British F'cdcralists
of the present day? Who are the sup
portcrs of British measures! Who are
the admirers of British glory! Who are
defamers of successful the Wa General,
and American heroes? The lc,ding Loco
Foco journals, with scarcely ar exception

and attempt to destroy his high military
reputation, as the old British Federal pa
pcrs did in 1913. They all Breathe pre-
ciscly the same spirit. The Washington
Globe, the Richmond Enquirer, the New
York Evening Post the Boston Post, and
the New Hampshire Patriot, stand fore
most on this list of British Loco Foco
journals. They arc full of the true Brit
ish, anti-war feeling. The small fry adj
vocatcs of Loco Fotoism throughout the
Union, follow the cad of these modern
fcderalists with pmarkablc pcrtinacity
1t would seem as if they had gone
back to the old anti-war records, and
hunted up all the newspaper slang OF
that day, to give additional point to their
groundless charges against the Hero Of
Tippccanoe and the Thames. They
not only come up fully to the old federal
standard, and dcneuncc Gen. Harrison as
a coward, and deny the merit ofhis mill
tary services, but they go beyond their
old prototypes, and manifest a violence
and vndictivencss which did not belong
to the anti-war party of 1912. The
British Loco Focos will not admit tina,
the General possesses particle of merit
of any description. They declare tina,
he never won a battle, by bravery OF
military skill, and that he retired from al
his civil appointments in disgrace.-Ir
their estimation, he is an old, superannu.
