WHEAT CAN'T BUY THEM.

son menu They gave him their besl
assurances that they should no longer sup

same time tive have been bought for the
last two or three years, because we were
poor, by Mr. -- for one or too bushels
OF corn, and this year he has told us that
iif ace ovoatld cote for Mr. Fan Buren, he
acould give as each TWO BUSHELS OF
WHEAT, but we shall not do 1t, sye go for
Old Tip
We think that our readers who are ac.
quainted IN Asylum will at once mark the
man who has been so bountiful with his
granarles of corn, for electoneering pur-
poses. But at this time, when the hon
est and hard handed laborer sees the pros
pect of destruction, from the attempts of
The Administration to reduce the price of
his labor, according 10 the standard of Mr.
Buchanan's prices, they cannot be bought

spurn the villain that dare attempt to bride
them at the polls, when their country re-
quires the votes Of honest men.--Iowu,a-

HARD CIDER.-We are no advocate for
the use of this drink, and shall be glad if
no more is seen or heard of it during the
election contest. But our dislike of the
article is not much promoted by the many
long speeches uttered, and spirited edito-
rails written against its use by men who
know more of the whiskey bottle, than
they do of political honesty or private
morality! We do not believe the tenn
perance cause is much advanced by men
who decry the use of 'shard cider" and
every day get tipsy on harder brandy!
Such men are to be found in Marietta
The very mention of ''hard cider will
almost give them the "delirium tremens, I"
and they will preach for hours of the ex-
cess of in;emperance, and injury to the
morals of community likely to be produ-
ced by the use of it! We have heard
man who drinks more brandy every
week than any Harrison man in Marietta
does cider in six months.-a man who
has scarcely seen sober day since the
meeting of the Harrisburg Convention,--
express great solicitude, lest the tenn
perance cause should be utterly ruined by
this cry of ''hard ciderhr' If these ora
tors will give the people practical proof
! of their interest in the temperance cause.
by breaking their pocket bottles, and alb
staining from the use of drink stronger
then hard cider; ihen, we doubt not they
will be listened to with attention and
profit. Marietta HtelHgencer.
GEN. HARRISON AT COLOMBIA.
The Globe asserted some time since,
and we regret that we cannot lay our hand
/ on the very number just now, to quote
I its exact words, that Gen. Harrison was
recalled from his post as minister to Co.
! lombia, in consequence of his improper
, interference with the internal affairs of
+ that Government.
Let us, see how true this is. On the
! 18th February 1929, Gen. Harrison ar
rived at the Capital, Bogota; ON the 4th
March 1929, Andrew Jackson was inal-
gurated, and on the 9Th March 1929. Free
Tom Moore, was nominated as Harrison's
successor! These are facts. fellow citi.
zens, for the support of which we appeal
to history. How then could any impro-
r per interference of Gen. Harrison, with
the intestine difficulties of that republic,
have been known at Washington? TWAS
out of the sphere Of possibility, that his
arrival there could have been announced,
in thirty-one or two days! 1t was the
first act almost of Gen. Jackson's Admin
istration, and it had its origin, in the spite
which the then President entertained to-
wards the conqueror Of Proctor, because
he had, when in Congress, disapproved
Of some of the arbitrary proceedings con-
nected with Jackson's Indian campaign
