Politics in FIortda.-We arc glad to see encou-
raging symptoms Of popular awakening in Flor
ida. There as every where else, the people are
becoming tired Of the weakness, lnefTiciency and
extravaganza Of the present administration, and
desire change. General Harrison is popular in
the territory; and his friends are moving in his
behalf The Star at Tallahassee, hitherto neu-
tral paper, conducted with ability, has come out in
favor Of sound democratic principles, and supports
General Harrison for the Presidency. Casam E.

and from his known industry and ability, we shall

General Harrison.

We cannot better illustrate the esteem and ven
Grafton with which he has ever been regarded by
the many brave officers who are at alltimeS proud
to boast of having been his pupils, than by copy
ing the following eloquent remarks of Colonel
RICHARD N. JOHNSON, now Vice President of the
United States, delivered in Congress, March I'd,
1881
"Who is General Harrison? The son of one Of
the signers Of the Declaration of INDEPENDENCE:
who spent the greater part of his large fortune in
redeeming the pledge he then gave. Of his fortune,
life and sacred honor to secure the liberties Of his
country. OF the career of General Harrison
need not speak: Tie history of the West is MS his
tory. For forty years he has been identified with
its interests, It's perils and its hopes. Universal
lv beloved in the walks Of peace, and distinguish
Cd By his ability in the councils of his country, he
has been yet more illustriously distinguished in
tie field. During the late war, he was longer in
active service tian any other general officer he
was, perhaps, oftener in action than any one Of
them, and Rerer sustained defeat"

States had cheated and imposed upon the In
dians As he uttered this his warriors sprang
TO their feet, aud began to brandish their toma-
hawks and war-clubs their eyes all fercely turn

he was armed, and some of the officers in al
tendance drew their weapons and stood on the
defensive. During this critical moment not

he had to deal with man of tirmness and un-
