THE BUCKEYES BLACKSMITH.

The Frederick Herald OF late date has tho
following notice of Mr.. BAER, the sBuclev.
blacksmith" whose earnest, faithful and Ell
cient laoors 10 the cause of the peoples caudi-
date have rendered him an object of erea, and
deserved interest with the people. especially the
mechanics and working men of the land. Of
which classes he is an esteemed and worthy
member;
JoHN w. BAER. "he Buckeye black

to the village of South Bloomfield. IN

et and now resides. still carrying on his
business Of blacksmith.
Upon the nomination Of Gen. Harrison
for the Presidency ia December last, he
for the hrst time attempted TO address a
public audience in his village and ex-
hI5iied such strong powers of mind, that
by the solicitations of his friends he was
induced to mount the stump frequently.
Wherever he went he gathered large au.
diences, and his own enthusiasm grew
with the mighty excitement which was
kndled Throughout: the western country.
lie feels deeply the wrongs which have
been inflicted upon the labouring classes
by the oppressive measures Of the present
administration and his own emphatic
language has determined him to devote
himself to The good OF his fellow mechau-
les, using all eSeriions TO turn those men
out OF power, whose policy is calculated
to bring ruin on the country. His plain
style Of speaking commands the entire
attention of the audience he addresses
and his familiarity with all the agi,ating
topics of the day. renders his speeches
not less Instructive than interesting. He
is valuable auxiliary to the cause of
correct principles
We have given the above sketch in
order that the public may every where
know that the buckeye Blacksmith is
no more or less than he processes to be-
a PLAIN, honest. unlettered blacksmith,
with strong intellect. and capacity for
public speaking seldom found amongst
any but the learned professions.

living IN this county ai present. and is

acqualnlances, who yet reside here.
