lished, and In his speeches TO the Indiana
legislature, he strenuously recommended
the system of the old republics, under
which military instruction was commenced
at school. In consequence of that RECON-
mendation the United States gave sec
ton Of each township of Indiana for the
use of schools, and an entire township near
Vincennes towards the establishment of a
college, for the express purpose Of a mill
tary institution.
Ofhis anxiety to secure the Indians from
inquietude and the aggressions Of the
whites, to promote their civilization, and
to induce them to raise domestic animals
as substitute for the wild game which was
rapidly decreasing, his speeches and mes
sages to the legislature of Indiana bear a.
bundant testimony; while the many advan-
tageous treaties he made with them prove
his popularity with that singular race of
beings-But still stronger proof is this:
"A few of the party attached to the proph-
ct gave out that the tribes who signed the
treaty at fort WAYNE in 1909, were over
awed by large force into that measure,
contrary TO their inclinations. This was
a foul aspersion; for the truth has been
established beyond controversy. that at the
time Of negotiating there were ITO more
than thirty soldiers along with governor
Harrison, while the Indians amounted to
more than eighteen hundred-and he was
entirely in their power, having slept at
house half mile from the fort surrounded
by multitudes of Indians.

LOOK AT THIS !

In the address of the Baltimore Loco Foco
Convention, written by ex-governor Isaac Hill,
and revised and corrected under the direction of
Mr.. Van Buren,, is a passage asserting that the
latter is "sedulousy employed in bringing about
decrease of the public expenditure y The fol-
lowing extract from this address will serve as
text
"Tn 1888 they 1.-THE public expenditures) fell
belotD those of 1897; an 1889 bet,ceen sir and
seven millions werc substraeted from the erpendi-
lures of the preceding gear !; and in 1870 the
estimates erhi6it a reduction Of 6etWeen five and
sir millions
Now for the commentary on this text. By the
official statement of the public expenses, prepared
in the Office of the secretary of the treasury, in
obedience to call from the Senate, il is found
that the "aggregate amount of all expenditures,
or payments of every kind from the treasury
was in 1887 $37, 265, O37 Is
1888 39,455,438 IS
1889 37,129, 1896 80
And "the aggregate amount for permanent and
ordinary purposes, excluding payments on ac-
count of objects either extraordinary or tempora-
ry" in 1887 $13,096, 1921 SO
1888 13, 837, 594 a.
1889 1885 800 10
And in 1910, although "the estimates erhi6if
a reduction Of betpeen fire and SIG millions, yet
the administration has already incurred further
PUBLIC DEBT by the issue Of FIVE MILLIONS
in treasury notes, OVER AND ABOVE THE Esrr-
MATES How ,huch more it will need before the
expiration of the year, cannot now be told; but
the probability is that at least another five mil
lions will be required. Well may it be said, in
the language of the address, that 'this SIMPLE
ARRAY OF FACTS is the best commentary on
the charge of extravaganza brought by the op
position against the administration Of Mr.. Van
Buren, Had the address gone step further
and said that this same "simple array Of facfs'
was CONCLUSIVE PROOF OF THE CORRECTNESS OF
THESE CHARGES, it would have been fully borne
out by the truth. But ruth it does not deal in,
as the above abundantly shows.

Amos Kendall--the Great Resigned-in his
ardent desire to convince 'the aohole World' that
he is not dissatisfied with Mr. Van Buren,, has
commenced with the people of the United States,
and to them has he put forth formal address.
This address-as an humble portion of the afore-
said people-we have read, and having done so,
we truly say that if to insult, traduce and
villfy an honest and an honorable man-if to
slayishly bow down before the footstool of power
if to manifest contemplate subservience to
the demagogueism which now prevails in high
places-if to exhibit deliberate and utter disre-
gard of truth and brazen contempt for the in
telligence and understanding of the people of
this country-if this be to convince "the whole

has Mr. Kendall abundantly succeeded But this

of the leaders of the party discovered all at once

OLD TIPPECANOE.

Hurrah for the father Of all the green West!
w. For the Buckeye who follows the plough!
The foeman in terror his valor contest,
And we'll honor the conqueror now
His Country assailed in the darkest ofdays,
10 her rescue impatient he flew;
The war-whoop's fell blast, and the rife red blaze
But awakend old Tippecanoe
On Maumee's dark waters, along with brave Wayne,
Green laurels he cleaned with his sword;
But when peace on the country came smiling again,
His steel the scabbord restored.
But wise in the Council, as brave in the Field,
His Country still asked for his aid;
And the Birth of Young Empires his wisdom revealed,
The Sage and the Statesman displayed.
But the red torch Of war, the tomahawk's gleam,
10 the battle again called the true;
And there where the stars and stripes brightly stream
Rushed the Hero Of Tippecanoe.
Now bark from the far frozen wilds of the North,
What battle shouts burthen the eale7
The hosts Of Old England ride gallantly forth,
And the Captive and Conquered bewail.
His Country recalls the bold Chieftaln she loves,
The sword Of "Old TIP she reclaims;
And Victory heralds wheyeveehe moves
The path of the Hero of Thames!
Hnrrah for the Hero of Tippecanoe.-
The Farmer who plougbs at North Bend!
Soldier SO brave, and Patriot as true,
Will find in each freeman friend.
Hurrah for the Log-cabin Chief of urchoice
For the old Indian Fighter hurrah!
Hurrah! and from mountain and valley thevoce
VI the People re-echoes-hurrah!
Then come to the ballot box-boys, come along,
He never lost battle for you
Let US down with oppression and tyranny's throng,
And up with Old Tppecanoe!

Mosr HoRH1BLE--Sir Persons Murdered.- A more horrible piece of intelligence than that which follows, we believe we have ne- yer laid before our readers certainly more horrible outrage was never committed in our country. Such a wholesale slaughter of hu- man beings-such an inhuman and bloody transaction, must appal every one-sicken the heart of the most obdurate. No sympa- thy can be felt for the perpetrator or perpe- trators for no offence could prompt to such an act. It must have been either the fiend- ish workings of heart black as the |" Prince of Darkness" himself, or of that most damaa- ble engine of crime and misery, alcohol. We are indebted to the politeness of MT. Ritter for the particulars of the transaction. who received them in letter from gentle. man in Huntingdon. They arc set forth as follows:
 A horrid scene was enacted Tn Hill Val ley, in this county, on Saturday evening last The wife of MT. Brown and five of his chil- dren were murdered. The wife and one son were found in the house-the Wife's throat cut from ear to ear, and the son shot through the body; at some distance from the house was found two other children, one of them shot, and the other killed with a club or some other instrument, and in another direction ln the wood the two others were found, one shot 1 and the other was killed with a club. Mir. Brown has been arrested, also M'Conahy, his son-in-law, and M'Conahy's brother Brown denies, says he was from home, and on his return found the door of his house fastened, whilst standing there he was shot at and narrowly missed. another gun was discharged, which grazed his cheek and per. forated the lower part of his ear and passed through his hat. This hear is his story.- The M'Conahvs ii is said tell contradictory stories. To-day these three men are under going an examination before Justice in Shirleysburgh, and witnesses are being exa- mined. The bodies were all buried yester- day after an inquest had been held."
 Geogia.-Ex- Governor Gilmer, a champi- on of the State Rights party of Georgia. has just arrived at Washington from home, hav- ing recently travelled over good part of the State, and conferred much with the Peo- pie. He says Georgia is as sure for HARR1- SON as Vermont or Kentucky, and by an overwhelming majority.
