poetic, Indeed we have rarely met with hap
pier effort In justice to "OLD TIP" and our
cause, let il 90 the rounds of the Wing Press
Fromthe albany Euening Journal.
OLD TIPPECANOE.
Hurrah for the Father of all the green West!
For the Buckeye who follows the plough!
The foeman in terror his yalor contest
And we II honor the eonqueror now.
His Country assailcd in the darkest of days,
To her rescue impatient he flew;
The war-whoop's fell blast, and the rifles red
blaze,
But awakened old Tippecanoe!
On Moumee's dark waters, along with brave
Wayne,
Green laurels he gcan'd with his sword;
But when peace on the country came smiling
again,
His steel to the scabbard restored
But wise in the Council, MS brave in the Field,
His Country still asked for his aid;
And the Birth of Young Empires his wisdom re-
vealed
The Sage and the Statesman displayed.
But the red torch of war, the tomahawk's CLEAN,
To the battle again called the true;
And there where the stars and the stripes brightly
stream,
Rushed the Hero of Tippecanoe.
Now bark! from the frozen wilds of tie North
What battle shouts burthen the gale?
The hosts of Old England ride CALAMITY forth,
And the Captive and Conquered bewail
His Country recalls the bold Chieftain she loves,
The sword of "Old t. - she reclams;
And Victory hsralds whJs yer he moves
The path Of the Hero of Thames!
Hurrah for the Hero of Tippecanoe-
The Farmer who plorg CHS at North Bend!
Soldier so brave, and Patriot true,
viii find in each freeman friend.
Hurrah for the Log cabin Chief of our choice!
For the old Indian Fighter hurrahi
Hurrah! and from mountain and valley the voice
OF the People c-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 Tippecanoe! S. j. B.

nJBynum, who attacked Garland in Congress,
is notorious duelist. Three four years ago he
tried TO kill Jenifer, member Of Congress from
Md. by shooting at him two three times The
report OF the Committee upon the outrage agrees in
the important particulars with the account given
under our Congress head The letter in the last
Star pretending to give an account OF this affair is
abominably ase-a tissue from beginning to end
of misrepr PRESENTATIONS in the main points. 1t would
be charitable to the writer to suppose that he
either drunk crazy when he wrote it.
The following is the Report Of facts made by
the Investigating Committee. Let the reader com
pare it with the pretended account in the Star
"At this moment Mr. Bynum left ms seat, which
is in the mi ddle of the hall, and walked over TO
the seat occupied by Mr. Gaibraith, the left of
the Spea ker near the occupied by Mr. Garland.
MIR Gabrath called Mr. Bynum, and asked who
Mr. Wise referred TO, as "his colleague" Mr. By
mum replied that ait was MIR Bolts, who had gone
Richmond with that lying paper" at was un.
Just and unfair" he added ''to issue such thing
on the of an election" He then walked up
the aisle, between Messrs Banks Of Virginia, and
Garland towards the seat occupied by MIR Conner,
and said somcih ing about trickery and deception
but To whom the words addressed the Com
rnittee could not determine. lie then said, that
the document referred to was "a id corrupt at
iair-a id lie from beginning to end" Mr. Gar
land was talking with Mr. Tripler, and his face
turned from MIR Bynum Hearing these words Mr.
Garland turned towards Bynum, and observed that
the statement ''was true, every word oft" The
Committee express thor be lief that Mr. Garland al
so added some offensive expression-such ''snd
no gentleman would say it is id lie''-but they
could ascertain precisely what the offensive
preston MIR Bynum replied otis a ID iie;"
or "you id liar" and Mr. Garland retorted
in nearly the same words. Mr. Bynum then at
tempted 10 seize a cane belonging to MIR Garland
and which rested against his chair-The Commit
tee believe that he actually raised the cane, and
that Mr. Garland wrested it from his hands They
then seized each other by the collar, and Mr. Gar
land pushed Mr. Bynum backwards towards the
outer railing the bar, and in the struggle one
blow at least was exchanged before they were sep
| Grated by the interference Of members. Mr. BY
mum then pulled out pocket knife and attempted
to open it, but it is believed he did not succeed.
Garland quietly returned to his within the bar;
but Mr. Bynum continued to rave, and attempted
to reach Mr.. G. and cried out, with a loud voice,
nal! ''You Id !iar!" &c. until he Was bourne
away by his friends.

does not alter the truth. In reference to the state.

The Globe in the same way denied that the Gov

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.

When Mr. Webster advocated in the Senate four
weeks ago, an early adjournment of Congress- the
Administration members argued against him, al
eging that the condition Of the boundary question
at that time would not allow of an adjournment;
but now this subject has been disposed ofby the
Report of the Committee on Foreign Relations in
tho Senate, the objection no longer exists The
Sub Treasury Bill is yet the table in the House

both branches, can do all things that they please

The Dover Enquirer says:
Cool lMrUDENcE. The ocofocos with major

whgs-the an,n0rity-with protracting the ses-
sion, and are trying to hold them responsible, not
only for what has, but for what has not, been
done:-It is not at all wonderful that the Van Blu

ders, if they CAM the odium Of the present disgrace

veniently carry. But public opinion, in

oft A party which is strong enough to defeat
the regular organization of Congress for nearly a
month-whch can eIpeL the regular commissioned
members of a sovereign State, in defiance of the
Constitution and laws, and elect others the va
cancies thus created-most assuredly is strong
enough 20 do the public business, as they please,
and adjourn when they please. The wing mem
bers, it Is well known, are DESTROYS of bringing the
session to close as speedily possible, believing
that Mr. Van Buren, has declared 'the govern
ment can do nothing for the people," it is wholly
needless to continue The session, and that they had
better go home and wait until the people have
elected administration which can and toiU do
something for their relief Mr. Webster has already
spoken and voted in favor Of an early adjournment
in the Senate, but the proposition has been rejected

VINO DID RIVE struck, the other day
by the plain common sense exhibited by n gentle
man from the country in conversation upon poll
tics We remarked to him that wereF rejoiced
to hear that he no longer the supporter of the
present administration, and observed at the same
Tune, that he had undoubtedly good reason for his
change of opinion.
"My reason is very plain one" said he, Gone
that every man understand. L looked round
me and found every thing wrong. and asked my
self what made it So who made it so' and my rea
told me that those who had the power, must
have made it, The Wings have no powerfully
could not have brought about this state of things

wNFLATED CURRENCY"

alt is simply because manufacture at the
nominal prices of our own inflated currency, and
compelled to sell at the real prices Of other
tons. REDUCE OUR NOMINAL TO THE REAL STAND
ARD OF PRICES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, and you
cover our country with blessings and benefits"
Such is the language of Mr. Buchanan, leading
V. b. man in the U. s. Senate, and the complaint
of an "inhated" or too much currency is in the
mouths of the Office holders and office seekers.
To talk of an inflated currency at these times is
preposterous. Whose pockets inflated with
money as to demand reduction? Are those of
the farmer, the mechanic or merchant? Drained
and beggared are our pockets, the Adminisra-
ton cry is can inflated currency" to which is at
trbuted the present depression. Who is distressed
with too much money? Where is the man? Let
him speak, If there be one he can join heart and
hand with Mr. Van Buren,. Let common sense and
experience be consulted in this matter. When has
there been too much money in Vermont? Is it so
now?
