here gathering in The fall harvest, and
the Gneral is as spy as u crIket aud
we don't know which promises best, the
corn crops or the Whig crops, both being
remarkably abundant There is now no
doubt OF one thing, that in spite OF the
Sub Treasury, the army ,rorm, the Ex-
ira Globe, and sich like kaiamiiies, the
good people of these United Srnies win,
by the blessing of God, secure enuf ior
Tippecanoe and Tyler too.
The Gineral ard was talking togetII-
er iother evening all alone about matters
and things, and says he, +" Major, it is
enuf to make patriots heart AXE, to
see country like this plunged as il has
been into so much ruin and distress, just
TO suit the Wins and selfish ends of men,
who the people put in Office for very diff
leren, purposes. Why says he, "if 1
employ'd overseers on my farm, and paid
them well for their services, and ihty
undertook to carry on matters so direct
ly against common sense and mother wit,
as to let the farm go TO weeds aud starve
the cattle to death, would not only turn
them off, but would stitch certificate
to their backs, 80 that all honest men
would be able to know them as real hum
bugs"
As have been a considerable time in
and about Washington IN my day, aud
have something OF notion that, during
the time when the doctrine there was t.,
reward friends and punish enemies"
that considerable spiies was made use OF,
and that Mr.. Van Buren promised to
follow in the footsteps-l say J have n
notion that it would be a safe act TO watch
folks till 9TH March next, and see that
no one leaves till his accounts are set
tied snug up,--all the folks about the
Treasury, Sub-Treasury, the Land Of
fice, and the Post Office. For tho
+" Furnishing enemies" don't in the long
run cost much, yet rewarding friends"
may be found pretty considerably expen-
sve, especially when folks have the pub
lie money and not their owu money TO do
this with.
When | and the Gineral take up the
public documents, and read the history
OF events for the last ten years, and see
bow things have been manuged,-how
many good honest men have been turned
out OF Office and how many scamps have
been appointed into office, jest TO carry
out this Infamous doctrine, and then hear
him tell over his notions about it, you
would say it was high time for jest such
man as he is TO walk in and turn over
new leaf, and bring things back to tho
good old democratic times.
! A very few days after this letter gets
to you, you will have the news OF Flee
tons in these parts. WON'T say how
matters will go,-all | know is that every
day is bringing about great changes.
The loco Iocos are putting up their best
men, in hopes that III local elections they
will succeed,-and then they will yell
out and say, "see how the good doc
trine works )" and G this way in sorns
places this plan will succeed,-but when
II comes To the tug, aud folks are caIl'd
on TO say who they will have for Presi-
dent and Vice President, then you VIII
hear the answer,-and that will be-,
/" Tippecanoe and Tyler too"
DO rally believe that il MIR. Jcffer-
sons doctrine about the office holders
was put IN practice, and they were told
and compepd to attend to their duties oi
office aud not ineddle further ia elections
than TO give their vote like any other
citizen, and walk off and return to their
duty of Office, for which the people pay
them well--that the majority Tor old JIv
would be such as not to leave more than
a grease spot Of loco-iocoisIn. But
these folks in office who are told to work
night aud day, and pay a portion of their
wages too, 10 bride and force the igno-
rant and needy to vote rs they tell them
these folks do great evil, and it don't
cost them any thing {; they use the peo-
ple's money, not their own, and they
work With the peoples money to secure
their own places, knowing full well lha,
the principle is established by their par 4.
iy, that The spilcs Of The ranquish'd
belongs 10 The sp,iers," and whoever hc
people reject, is sure to be- rewarded
by-the great democratic ruler, aud
glver of Offices Aud this they call true
democracy!
How the Kings, and Emperors, mud
Pashsws, and lmauns of Europe aud
Turkey, must singer when they see

ioco new light democracy is working in
This democratic county. No wonder
that Mr.. Van Buren, has received pres

and Pearls, and Shawls, and rich like,
IL he goes on little longer, We shah
see hull cargoes Of presents coming ou,
rom European and Turkish democratic
governments, and ''his highnsss" will be
