Character of John G, Caihoun-by a Southern
Locoioco The Richmond Enquirer once desert
bed him thus:
"Hs gigantic bnt eccentric mind WANTS
BALLAST. John p. King has, we fear, drawn
his portrait by one master stroke of the pencil /;
"lt we give him control, he will RUIN US; and
if we do not, hen leave us in less than Twelve
months"
Well--he has got the control !" Van Buren,
has promised the North, for the future, in consid-
Grafton of getting the South now; but we believe
Calhoun will RUM the whole lot. IL the South
has any of that chivalry and honor OF when II

HONOR TO THE BRAVE.

We find the following compliment To our coun-
try,nan and neighbour J. p. Miller in an extract
irun, Il work about 10 he published by Mr.. Casta-
mis-, entitled 'ihe History Of tho Regeneration OF
Greece"
During our revolution, lew Christians came
to Greece to offer themselves in her defence: most
of them lovers Of Grecau "Reminiscences and Hell
ienc glory. Among these Byron stood pre- emf
neni. That great soul, atoning for past faults, gave
himself up To our cause. When he reached
Messolonghi, lac addressed the citizens from the
tonh Of Marco Bozaris, x nj last overcome with
tears. he could not speak, lac could only kiss the
tomb OF the hero. lie did not live 10 see the full
flment ofhs hopes and his memory is ensllrined
in the heart of every Greek.
Greece called few defenders from the Ameri'
can shores. A marble tomb i'll the Island of SYRIA
commentaries the valor and death of native OF
Massachusetts,. In fine, every civilized nation
furnished few allies, and Greece has not forgot
ten them. However they cannot expect great at
tcn,ion whilst our greatest warriors are neglected
The bravesl was col Miller Of Vermont. lie WAS
full OF sport, and much loved by the Sulioles, a
small band Of whom he commanded. He distin-
guisfed himself nj Argos, where he happened to
be covered with dust by a cannon ball. Fearing
that they would think him lost he shouted to his
band, smoothing nothing keep on"

III The old trick deception. A bill has been
brought into Congress appropriating large sum
for the removal of the Raft in the Red Rivers
This appropriation was mol contained in The esti-
mates of the Secretary of the Treasury, but was
brought in via So the back stairs This is the old
trick: the administration want the money, and at
the same time they want to cry out economy
TO effect this they leave ont large sums from the
public estimates beg them privately and then
charge the excess to Congress This is locoioco
retrenchment-a locofoco honesty.

IG~The coalition of the Northern lntriguer and
the Southern Nullifer must elicit the contempt of
every honorable man, ut the North or the South
The Stanton (Va.) Spectator says:
"Alas for the little band of Nullifers! Who
could have predicted them so inglorious an end
What ridiculous finale to SD much gasconade
Was ever so much patriotism bought for so small
price Too pure and sublinaled IN their prin-
ciples to act with any of the parties of the coun-
try, they stood aloof from them fol years, MS il
their very touch would be contamination and yel

Curious depeiopemem. In November last, At
torney General (now Senator,) Grundy was in
Ohio, and announced that the Presidents message
would he conservative in its character. On this
authority, the Cincinnati Gazette SO announced
previous to receiving the message. That docu-
ment turned out to he rabidly locoioco. 1t was
said that cabinet meeting was holden after the
nomination OF Harrison, and it is suggested that
the change was probably made then.

tTj~The Patriot is very much alarmed for the
harmony of the Wings. We have dose of
consolation prepared, but are obliged TO defer
it. In the mean time let our neighbors rurninate

Another large Harrison meeting was holden in

"A PiH for The Tomato Gentlemen. The Patriot
cracks away largely on vote of Hamilton county,
Ohio, against Harrison in 1896. To this we reply
over the fact that Columbia county, the place of
Van Burcn's birb,-Albnny, the county of his
adoption-and Washington, the city of his present
residence-are all against Van Buren,. lfths docs
not suit the Patriot, we will go on little larger
scale TO test the comparative popularity of Ilarri-
son and Van Buren,. In 1885, Harrison was brought
ont ut late hour, without concert among the
opposition yet the result, in states which former
~ had given strong votes for Jackson, shows that
Van was no match for Harrison, even among the
supporters ofhis predecessor. The truth is, Van
Buren, has no popularity-h has no political cap
ital, but borrowed capital he has done nothing to
commend himselfto the people on the other hand.
Jackson himself had not half the claims nor half
the hold upon the popular feeling that Ilarriaon
has, nor was there ever halfthe enthusiasm shown
for him that is now shown for Harrison. But to

December, Gov Fairfield, Of Maine, notified Pres
ident Van Buren, that two companies of British,
troops had marched into the disputed territory
by order of the Governor of Lower Canada
which act is deemed to be clearly n violation of
the arrangement entered into by the Governors of
Maine and New Brunswick; Gov. +. suggests al
so that the British are erecting barracks on both
sides Of the Madawaska, and in conclusion de-
mands of the United States for that protection
OF Maine from invasion, guaranteed TO her in the
Constitution" The reply of the President is not
yet made known.
For further interesting matter OH this subject
see Congressional proceedings. The remarks in
the Senate, in connection with the following doc
ument bode less amicable decision ofths ques
ton than has been generally expected The fol-
lowing " memorandum appeared in the Quebec
Gazette of the l4h, issued by Sir John Harvey
Lieut.. Governor ofNew Brunswick. Why should
this be issued, if he docs not expect war? or, is it
thrown out merely 10 irighen Maine into comp-
ance with the designs OF The British Government?
The Montreal Herald suys
/ We do not know the motives which have ndu-
ced his excellency to issue IT, but il may possibly
! lie in consequence of information he has received
| from the Imperial Governments that in the event
of Messrs Feuthersonhaugh and Mudge's report
of their survey of the disputed territory agree
( ing with the position already maintained by Great
| Britain, the whole energies of the empire will he
called into action to enforce our possession OF 1t,
even ut the cost of war with the United States.
! Although these gentlemen have not allowed the
particulars of their report to transplre, 1t is more
than probable that its details in the possession
of Sir John Harvey, and that they are in our IA
vor. In case of a general war, the Recommended.
tons of Sir John are extremely ludlclous, and we
understand they were acted upon with the most
beneficial results during the war of 1912 and the
subsequent years.
