struggling for power since the formation of our
government, and even succeeded in placing two

once left the monsters 10 howl for themselves in

to the public whilst candidate could, sirs,
give many other reasons why do not support
Gen. Harrison for the Presidency, but shall leave
it for the pen Of some one more able and will
close by calling on every honest hearted patriot
IN the South to rally to the polls, and show the
federal wings that we are not to be guIled by the
floating orators Of The Harrison Club.

" Why dtd Harrison resign in the midst Of
the war Because he proved himself an lncom.
peten officer, and lost the confidence VI the army

Why dad Daniel Webster oppose tho war p
Because he was opposed to his country and gov-

Why did the Hartford Convention sit with closed

Why did the Harrisburg Convention which no

MAiNE ELrcrIoN-The wings, with their allies
the aboEiionsls and conservatives Qhe latter of
whom run a separate ticket in 1881 have nearly sue
ceedcd in ousting Fairfield, the present democratic
Governof OF Manc if they have not quite done In
the Cumberland District, Fcssenden (Whg) has beat
ed Smith (Democra) for Congress by small majority
Fessenden is an open and ayow9d abotons', yet the
wing orators and wing Editors at the South rejoice at
his election; relo'co at he success OF bitter anaca
enemy Of our best interests and dearest rights. With
the same sort OF patriotism and endsh Joy did the to.
res ofthe revolution eNul over the Of the Brit
sh arms. The following extract from the Boston
Post OF the 18th ut contains the latest and the only
news that we have of the election for Governor:
"In 255 towns Fairfield has 37,O79, Kent 37.672
-in 1879 Fairfield 30022, Kent rs 06l showing
a gain for Kent of2,74l In ISIS, Farfed's majority
over Kent. IN the whole State, was 33l0 and his
ioriiy in rhc towns to be hclrdfem was 1850 that
five allow that Kent has gained IN these towns in the
same ratio tha, be has IN the rest ofhe State, he still
leaves with Fairfield najo iy OF 200 The vote is a
close one: but the statement made by the wings that
Kent is elected is altogether premature and unwar-
rantcd by the returns. We are OF opinicn that Far
field is elected.
Columbus Democrat., 1840-10-03

A late English paper says -" Great political
excitement at present prevails in the United
States Of North America, One Of the cand idaIes
for the Presidency bases his clam to election on
than any other man in the uatlon."
Columbus Democrat., 1840-10-03

The appendix to the exposition atfords further egi-
dence IN addition toolher recent Developments, that
the object of HE cadng Federasts in Massachusetts,
during lbe war was 10 establish monarchy with one
OF the royal amy OF England at It's head. Mr.. Wal.
lis saws. the British Colonel Nichols told him, the ana
yal commander had las orders to place HARRISON Gray
Ots (oow eidlng Harrison Whlg) al the head OF at
fairs until the pleasure OF the Prince Regent was
known"
What that "peasure" was TO be, appears to have
been already arranged. he British United Service
journal o! May, SlA says the object was TO separate
the Northern aud Eastern from he So thern and
Western States, tocetablFha limited Monarchy IN the
first named 5 ates, placing one oi our Princes of the
bIocd on he throne" Gr.
From communication lately made to us, and pub
shed IN the Globe, It appears that our Government
was not ignorant Of thls reasonable conspiracy. In
October, lSl2 Mr.. Monroe, the Secretary OF State,
told our correspondent "that communication had
been made to hU, within few days, that there at
present existed IN Massachusetts, what was called
Royalst Cou,mittce, that was composed OF our own
citizens, who were the most volan and some of them
the mos prominent, members OF the Federal party; that
It's object was to endeavori bring about dsunion OF
the States, erect New England ina separate Conedera-
Cyl and invite the Duke ot Ken, father to The presen;
Queen Of England to be a, the head oft"
Il appears from these evidences that Harrison Gray
Ots- was only to BE- Regent un.tl sprig Of Royalty
could be cot from Europe, 10 mount the Yankee
Throne, AID be proclaimed KING OF NEW ENG.
LAND!
Do any OF our readers suppose that the old FEDERAL
isis who support II rrison now are any more patriotic
and honest than they wcrc when they opposed our
Government and war 1913 Is 1t believed that

GEN. MUM FAIRLY CORNERED
We ask every readers attention 10
our correspondent. from Newark. Gen.
Mum was completely cornered BY the
farmers OF Licking. And how did he
get round the direct question! Why,
that he would if elected President of The
United States PERJURE HIMSELF.
He was opposed TO a U. States Bank;
more, he believed ii unconstitutional, but
If elected President, & Congress should
pass a bill chariering a Bank, why he
would sign i. i! Monstreus Is this the
man presented to the people for their
support His oath of Office is to obey
the constitution; yet so eager is he to be
President, that he agrees before an as
semblage of2,00O people to COMMIT
PERJURY, yes damaing perjury, if
they will only be SO kind as to elect
him!l .......
The old man is deranged; surely he
lie deranged. His keepers knee it; and
hence they opened correspondence in
his behalf, and without consulting him,
and the very names Of which he now
says no did not even know. But the
shell broke and the chicken hoPped out,
and here we have pretty mess indeed.

THE DISCUSSION AT STRAS.
BURG.

We attended as spec taior the dis
cussion which took place at Strasburg
on Saturday Iaet, and were much pleas
ed to see a proper spirit manifested BY
the large number present to hear the
principles of both parties discussed. Al
an early hour the citizens from different
parts of the county, came pouring in
from all directions full ofllte and ANNA
tion. There was the hard handed far
mer Just from his plough-!he sturdy me
chanic who had laid by his tools-and
the merchant, who had dropped bis
yard d-slick and come 10 devote that day
to the service Of their country-to test
as far as possible, by the arguments to
be adduced, which of the two parties
now in the field, were the best entitled
TO their suffreges.-which was the most
patriotic: the one making its principles
known, and. relying upon the peoples
knowledge-or The one shrouding its
principles in mystery, and endeavoring
to cheat and fool the people by yelling
the cries of Log Cabins, hard cider, g.
Coon skins in their ears. .. .
We can not even give formal report
of the Speeches, but merely glance at
one or two Of the main arguments used
by each speaker.
The discussion was opened by Mr..
Atberton, on the part of the democrats,
who occupied about half on hour in ex-
planning the principles we support, and
porlraing the haggard features Of Fed
eralism, as they still exist, behind the
mask Of modern Whiggery.
lie was followed by Mr.. Griswold, the
great champion of Bank Whiggery.

his way Of speaking. Whether il is
