The Tippecance Pnrty--Their Origin and
PosirIon--The Election.


Position--The Election.
The origin of the Great Tippecanoe Party in this
city is curious interesting, and instructive. 1t re-
sembles very much the origin of the Jackson party
in this CITY in the summer of 1927. The latter did
not at the first bound take the of the Democra-
tic Party, but remained comparatively separate and
ependent until by their overwhelming power and
influence they caused all their petty antagonists to
merge their interests IN the one common cause, as
the new Tippecanoc party will cause the members
of the dying Wing Party to do in the present con-
test
Gen. Jackson was brought forward simultaneously
by Penns ylvana and Tennessee; he was not intro
duced upon the theatre Of politics by such miserable
old party hacks as put forward Van Buren,, Clay
and Webster; but was taken hold ofby set of prac-
teal common sense men, who thought for themselves,
and knew well what they were about; and who, ha-
wing put their hand to the plough, never turned back
In New York, also, he taken up in the summer
of 1927 by an entir y set OF hard-isted, hard
thinking, practical men, who speak as they think,
do what they say, are thoroughly acquainted with
all the strong points in the history OF their common
country and have an abundance of strong common
sense to guide them in all their commercial, social
and political transactions. BY these men was Gen
Jackson taken up in New York in 1877, and by
precisely similar set Of men has Gen Harrison been
taken up in New York IN 1910.
When the first jackson party was organized in
New-York, no one thought, for moment, that they
wonld be able TO carry the city and yet, to the as
tonshment of every one, and particularly to their
opponents, they did carry New-York by over 5000
majority And jast such result will attend the
ganization of the great Tiprecanoe party in this
city; for they closely resemble the stamina, bone,
II. Il - inf ,fr or,-
gn tn cir energetic c,nduct, their practical skin, and
excellent tact as politicians. They arc, in short,
fresh men, new men, STRONG men, and, as such, must
triumph. We don't knsw whether they are, as yet,
sufficiently organised to carry the election in this
city, which takes place to-day, but there can be no
doubt of their complete success liz the next Noven
Der election.
For the last three or fcar years, a small body If
men have occasionally met together in this city,
and gcd opinions and plans, no still believed
that Harrison would be the man nominated for Pre-
sident. They had comparatively no influence with
the press, an particularly had they none with any
of the Wall street press, and therefore they could
not, as they desired, get full and fair ex-
preston Of their sentiments political subjects
Occasionally we would depart from usual course
and give tbera lift along by the way, and thus they
patiently plodded ON until the nomisation Of Gene
raj Harrison by the con, ention at Harrisburg As
soon as this took place they began To move amons
the bone and sincw of this city. The feeling spread
amongst them secretly but rapidly wild fire, aud
the first intimation had OF their astonishing and
successful efforts the great Tippecanoe Club
Meeting in the 18th ward.
Very soon after this meeting of the First Tipps-
canoe Club in New York, the enthusiasm spread far
and vide, and clubs sprang up in almest every ward
I'll. Of ILL FL
all constituted, was to the terror ofthcr anita
gonists, at the great Log Cabin general meeting Of
Tppecanoe Democrats at Lafaye cite Hall, last week
Ard what a contrast they present TO the miserable
materials Of which the Locofoeo Clubs orgaas-
ed, The Tippecanoe party are formed Of materials
which strike a chord in the human heart that vi
bratcs with the right feelings Of humanity. The
name is associated with the common history sf our
country with the brilliant achievements of one Of its
nobIest heroes. General Harrison a commander
ON the North West Frontier at a most critical pc
Rod in our country's annals and Tippecanoe among
MANY other places was a scene Of his renowa. And
these facts will ever be found suficien for
the popular Of the Of the people be-
ing enlisted in favor Of the great Tippecanoe party
With the lecofocos, on the contrary, how differ
ent does the case stand! Look at the names Of
their clubs; Butt-enders Indomitables, Damnables,
Rnrailed Roarers, and Rattlers! The base material
ofthcse clubs disgust instead Of exciting applause
They exhibit but the barbarian impulses Of brutal
mob. They do not appeal to the interests Of the
country or the noble sympathies ofhe human heart.
Their brutality apparent in the last procession,
where they exhibited figure Of woman to repre-
sent Gen. Harrison. Now let him be old and weak
as they charge him to be- still his services TO his
country should and will protect him from such gross
barbarism. And these brutal and debased locofeco
clubs will find to their cost, before the close Of the
year. that far from injurng Gen Harrison by their
rufhansm, they will only have destroyed them
selves, and paved the way for the triumphant sue
cess Of the great Tippecanoe Democratic Party.
Ma RoosrvrLr-We do not exactly like the
remarks made by our Albany correspondent on the
course pursued by Mr.. Roosevelt in the Assembly
II is true Mr.. n. Is locofoco-sn ultra, thorogh-
going locofoco-but we have seen his course, and
know his qualities Of former years, and we doubt
whether he is so greatly obnoxious to disposition
ate observer as our correspondent would make him
No doubt he is very bad in the eye Of the wings
but although locofocos and wings may be allowed to
hate each other to abuse each other-and to see
nothing il each other but what is bad, yet ndepend
emit intellect will do justice TO both, and see some
