he accused as his employer were committed for

Great efforts have been made by the office
holders to get up E'grand assemblage Of the
people" at Columbus, Ohio, on the 9Th instant.
The call was advertised month in the papers,
and in handbills. The 7th of August came, and
on the evening about so ofice-holders arrived, in
anticipation Of the glorious 9Th. The Sth came,
but s'the Democracy" we wot not what had
become OF them-were so disguised with the
Wings, that but few came. A procession was
formed to meet the Vice President-footmen,
horsemen, men and boys, in carriages, moved
along. The Journal says they were counted by
several; the lowest by drover, 452, the highest
$40, all told!
The speaking began-some says 1900, Wings
and all, attended. Col johnson spolse-Gov.
Shannon delivered his old speech slightly varied
Senator Allen roared and covalted he abused
Gen. Harrison, of course. In the course of his
remarks, he held up Col Johnson's hand as that
of the real hero of the Thames, and appealed to
the people for sympathy in his favor! And Gel.
johnson submitted to this exhibition, Of himself
to give point to the Islander upon his brave COM
mander, sswhose history is the history Of the
West.n Half the Senator's audience left in dis
gust.
The meeting was fiat, stale and proftless.-
No shout greeted their march. No handkerchief
waved. Wings would have regarded this gath
ering a total .faiI,Te-the ofice-holders sent it
forth as great and glorious Cincinnati Ga-.

HARRIs0N'S GENERALsHIP.

hAhhlSON - SGlNGDf@1JlCAliA
So much has been said about the military
exploits of the individual whom the oppo-
sitisn have placed before the people as
candidate for the Presidency in l54l, and
so many Misrepresentation given Of the
chair breadth 'scapes" he has made, the
difficulties he has encountered, his unequall-
ed patriotism, &c. &C., all OF which is in
tended to operate upon the feelings of the
people at the next election, that one would
almost be led 10 believe he is a perfect
WASHINGTON, and that 10 vote against him
would be high treason. We are willing
to award 10 VIM. II. Harrison whatever
credit his services as a General entltle him
to but when we see his reckless adherents
--men whom, unfortunately for him, he
has chosen as mis- friends and supporters
endeavoripg to palm upon the homes people
the grossest nis-slatemenls Of battle fought,
victories achieved, honors due, &c. &c, at
the expenses Of others equally if not more
entitled TO the confidence and support Of
the American people-and all this for poGt-
ical e6sef, with the most sinister motives
in View--we cannot t0TbeaI drawing the
line of discrimination, which truth and JUS
lice requires, in order 10 show things in
their proper light. The following made
| out from a tabular statement in the 10Th
volume of Niles Weekly Register, show
| ing the result of the battles fought during
the last war, will answer our purpose fol-
the present. Ii is rather a matter of histo-
~ than otherwise--an impartial record oI
facts, given by an impartial writer and may
be relied on. The statement referred TO-
shows:
!. That HARRISON had more men killed
and wounded at riPpeeanoe (whsre, accsr
ding TO his own statement, he had supe
rior force over the Indians) thar Gen. JACK
SON lost il killed and woanded in either 0
his great battles Of the 23d Of Decembe
and 9Th Of January, at New Orleans.
2. That HARRISON lost only thirteen les
killed and wounded, at the battle Of Tippe
canoe, than Gen. JACKSON lost in both hi
battles al New Orleans.
3. The loss of the British in the las
battle before New Orleaas, was about fou
times as great as in al the battles tough
under the orders Of HARRISON.
4. The Indians lost more men, kille
3 and wounded, in the single battle of III
e rallapoosa, fought by General JACKSON
4 than in all the actions in which HARRIso
commanded.
s. HARRISON lost within sixty-sight Of a
many in the single battle of Tippecanoe,
y which he gained nothing for the country;'
: General JACKSON did in all his battles wit
The Columbia Democrat. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1837-1850, 1840-02-29

the Indians which made the conquest Of
the Southwest.
6. General HARRIsoN los, more men in
the single battle ofihs Rapids Of Miami,
than Gen. JACKSON lost in all his battleS
with the Indians and British.
Z. General HARRISON lost more, in kill
ed and wounded, in the battle Of Fort Meigs
against force Of eight hundred British and
Indians, than General JACKSON lost IN enh-
er of bis battles before New Orleans, against
the whole force of British regulars excee
ding ten thousand.
g. More men were lost in the massacre
of the river Raisin produced by the failure
Of HARRISON TO send up reinforcement, as
Messrs MADISON and GARaARD testi(v,)
than in all battles fought by General JACK
SON against the British and Indians during
the last war,
In alluding to the second battle Of Frencl,'
town on the river Raisn, Niles says:
"THE FIRST CAnpAIoN, ENDING WITH
THE SECOND BATTLE At FRENcHTowN, wAs
LITTLE ELSE THAN A SERIES OF DE-
FEATS AND DISGRACE"
OF the second campaign, tho Register
says:
"IN THE SECOND CAMPAIGN OUR ARMs
WERE, II A CONSIDERABLY DECREE SUCCESS
Full. BUT mark the butt SFILE THE
FAILURE" OF THE NORTHERN
DIVISION WAS DISASTROUS"
So much for the military achievements Of
w. II. Harrison. Instead Of being the he
re of 'seven successful wars" history,
which is always impartial, makes hm cut
the hero of "defcat8 and EailHea." How
different the account of the battles fought
'under that inimitable Commander, Gener-
al Jackson. The same work justly repre-
sents him as the "conquerOr OF the con-
querors of European impene!rable front
to the invading army :" and its editor con-
cudes his remarks by saying, "lhe close OF
the war (begun by HARRISON, and ended
by JAcKsoN) was more glorious TO our
arms than its commencement was disa-
trous."

WHlGGERY UNITED.

Is some Of the whig papers are coh'In'
aally trumpetiHg the assertion that the wing
party are united in the nomination OF Har-
iison, and that in consequence of this union'
his snccess is certain. We give below, ex-
tracts from several papers, from different
states, that the people may see how much
union and harmony there is in their ranks,
and how much reliance can be placed upon
the stsry that one united, harmonious feel
ing exists among the opponents OF Martin
Van Buren, 10 secure the Election of granny
Harrison.
The Raimond (nississiRpi) Times
breaks out against the nomination ef Har
rison, as follows:
- This nomination will not take in this
quarter. With Henry Clay as our candi
date, we might have had some hopes o
Mississippi; but with Harrison We can hav'
none. Ii would therefore be a waste o
words to say any thing mere on the subjsc
at present.
The Augusta, Ga. Chronicle, a 'whis
paper says;
1--WE cannot 20 for Harrison, and W
think II time and labor spent in vain to a
tempt 20 elect him. He cannot possibly 81
vots south Of The Potomac"
A Washington correspondent Of III
Charleston Courier, wriIes--
"MI. John S. Barbour, distinguishe
whig politician of Virginia. has come o'
'.ooth and nail against the Harrisburg non
iration."

carrying on, with legislative ensctmenis, the
recommeudatisHs of Governor Porter in re-
atiOn to banks, without any skulking " be
hind the curtain" or again dOdging the
question, by throwing The responsibility
where it does not righguliy belong.
Reso!vsd--Thati if the presentlegislature
should not deem it expedient to declare the
charter of the U. S. Bank forfeited, we can
then see no reason why she shall be longer
released from her obligation 10 loan the COM
nonwealth six millions at4 per cent.
Rssolued--That the Canal Commission
ers deserve the thanks Of the community
for the able and energetic manner in which
they have managed the affairs of our inter-
nal improvement system for the past year;
and we hope they will add TO their other
good traits, thorough repairs of the works,
as well as a thorough reform in the system
Of managing them from the former admin
sratisn.
ReSolUed-That the gentlemanly deport-
ment, splendid talents and great public SER
vices of our distinguished senator, James
! Buchanan, has endeared him TO US all; and
we doubt not, that the Keystone state will
soon present her favsriie son before the A.
merican people for the highes! Office in their
gih.
ResolUed-That if our senator, Charles
Frailv shall see proper to misrepresent his
constituents and continue his factous oppo-
siton TO the state administration, we shall
require him to assign some better reason for
his course than that Gov. Porter is unwilling
to harrass the people with taxation by en-
riching few coal land spectators.
ResolUed-That we approve of the con-
duct of our representative Major VIM. Colt
during the present session of the Legislature.
ResolUed-Tkat the proceedings Of this
meeting be signed by its officers, and pub
/ lshed in the Democratic papers Of the
county and at Harrisburg.
