wine were permitted to drink their toasts

many of the Harrison men understood it

cheer a little louder, perhaps, than if no
misunderstanding had occurred. The in

The editor Of the Gazette attempts to
show that we were wrong in our esti-
mate Of the number who attended the
several loco foco county conventions, as
stated in our number of last week.. We
still believe we were correct: and he has
brought forward nothing yet to prove
that we were in error. He says of Van
Buren, county that instead of so as stated
by US, there were between 200 and 900.
Where he gets his information from we
cannot tell. We obtained ours from his
to,o,s paper Of June n. But perhaps he,
like many others, does not consider tba,
good authority.
In looking over the official proceedings
Of the Van Buren, County Convention
we find the following resolution -
-. Resolved, That IL delegates be an
pointed to represent the county Of Var
Buren, in the Territorial Convention
Well, what of that, the Gazette ma,
nigh, ask w. .. 5' ,..s.s III. 3..5s 4.
Nothing only the County Conven
tion, among its multiplicity of business
forgot to appoint them; and there is n,
| rec record d e 'o show that any delegates wer
ever appointed. We wonder IF VI,

IL the officers are attentive in such
matters, the public may be assured that

never knew the Steam boat officer that
always remembered the printer in this
way, or the subscriber who always paid
in advance, who were not little more
deserving than those who neglected to do
such things. #
I The last Gazette endeavors to bring the
character of Gen. Harrison into disrepute
for having signed an Objectionable bill
passed by the Indiana Territorial Legis-
lature. while he was governor Of that
Territory. The organic law required,
and he was bound according to his oath,
to sign all bills passed by both branches
of the Legislature, whether they were Or
were not in accordance with his views.
Congress had the. supervision Of the
whole afterwards. p 10

The election has resulted in the complete

elected are true democrats and the democratic

The opposition fought the battle here under The
Harrison flag, keeping their gubematorial candi-

the democratic majority has beer increased some
one or two thousand since Harrison was brought

MEssRE EpIroRs.-The Banking subject and
the general politics Of the county, seem to en-.

you will permit me to relate en- anecdole relative
to both these subjects
In very poor region Of country in North
Alabama, there formerly existed a county, in de
ttsIon of ITS poverty called Couco, and a village
IN SAID county, from It's locality, called Leap Frog
The inhabitants Of this region being remote from
all banks, and being very poor felt very severely
the want OF some article by which their dram.
drinking could bo conducted. Having no types
for printing bills, and no silver, thls bong alb
sorbed by the banks at dlstnncel they were put
TO their WITS end how To manage so as to pay for
lhotf drains, as credit was not tolerated, partcu.
larry for that article 1t was finally agreed that
a hare skin should pass for picuyune, mink
SKIN for three picayunes, and coon skin for two
bits; this settled, they got along admirably. Fol
some time, confidence was unbounded- 10,
day Of relubuuon awaited them! The seller of
drains had gathered IN the change by thousands
What, think YOU, must have been his morlfca.
ton when he shipped his skins to the North, to
find half Of them counterfeit 1t seems a shrcwd
fellow caught great many coons and opossums;
the coon skins he passed off as genuine, without
the tail he then smoked the opossum skins, and
fixed the coon tails to them, aud passed them as
genuine coon 50 the poor fellow who sold the
no longer any demand for his skins; hence great
distress came upon this whole people. Oh, the
misfortune, that the people will fud out that bank
bills are not what they purport to be
In the formation Of the General Government,
two parties were formed One contended fol

The other party was for rescrving to the States
and people, all powers not absolutely necessary

character; as SUCH specified the bounds and
limits, and conteudcd for rigid observance
this party was called Republican. Names have
