n. f. BouNpARY.-It is very evident that the
British minister has completely deceived our obluse
and supine administration in regard to the British
armed occupation of our territory.
Gov. Fairfield'S messenger reports, from actual
inspection, that British troops are actually within
the disputed territory, and mentions their nnmhcr>,
and the extent and strength Of the Qualifications
they have erected. Mr.. Van Buren, asks Mr.. Fox
if this is so. That gentleman, Of course, denies
that it is, and Mr.. Van Buren,, with all the Gre
dili,y Of an sold g%tanny," believes him. Three
months have now elapsed since Gov. Fairfield
intimated to the Executive that the British forces
We're encamped upon our territory, and yet Mr..
Van Buren, has not even sent an officer, either civil
or military, TO inquire if it lie so.
One of two things musts lie true. Either the
British are there, or they are not. The truth could
easily lie ascerialned, by Government, in ten days
time. Why, then, is it not done? Does Mr.. Van
Bnren think that the people will be satisfied with
Mr.. Fox'S statement on the subject 7 Mr.. Fox is
undoubtedly a very honorable man. He would
lelic his ilustrous name, were he otherwise. Blu,
it is not part of his duty, as a %diplomatist, 10 give
Mr.. Van Buren, Information with regard 10 the
affairs of this country. All that he says on the
subject, therefore, Is Of no consequence. 1t is the
duty Of our Government to take care of its own
affairs, and not TO he begging for information from
foreign ministers.

and have resulted rather unfa vorably 10 he demo-
cratic cause in this city and the incorporated Dis
trlct this is, IN some measure, owing TO the divi-
sion in the party caused by the unsettled question
Of resumption, and the excitement raised by the
wings on the subject of the banks, currency, &c.
We elected but one regularly nominated, and true
blue democrat in all of the fifteen wards, viz in
upper Delaware.-Thc editor of the American
Sentinel, an ultra bank democrat, received a de-
mocratic nomination in Dock Ward, and being
supported by a portion of the wings, and in con-
sequence ofthere being two wing candidates run

its re%trenchments, reforms, experiments,
and improvements of the currency, the
people find every thing working wrong.
The expenses doubled, unprecedented
official delinqucncies, the industry Of the
country paraIyzcd, business at a stand,
and the currency in the worst possible
condition. How is this Who is re-
sponsible? What is to give us relief!
" Reduce the price ofiabor," says the
administration" bring things to their
specie value, and then the land will be
covered with blessings" This then is
the grand consummation. All legitimate
business destroyed-thc middlmg class
left a prey to sharpcrs-and the laboring
class asked to have faith that there will
be glorious times when a poor man has
literally to " work for a sheap's head and
pluck a day." Such is the position OF
the administration, and hence we find i,
striking the first blow at the poor me-
chanic, in the Navy Yard! Let the pco-
ponder well.

Eastman and Remington have quit this

Calhoun.
"Ihave addressed enquiries TO twenty-seven
governments of Europe, and find that twenty two

Buren,.
In accordance with these views,Fhe adj
ministration has commenced its "reform,"
by reducing the price of labor at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, and cutting down
the pay of the porters and laborers at the
new Custom-house in New York. We
also learn from Philadelphia that orders
were received there on the 18th inst. to
reduce the prices paid to the laboring men
employed upon the Government work at
that station. 1t is not proposed to reduce
salaries but only "the wages of labor"
to bring it to the STANDARD of the world"
The Philadelphia Times, an administra-
ton paper, in noticing this fact, makes
the following just comment.
Whilst we acknowledge ourselves the friends o.

LOG CABINS AND HARD CIDER

1t is l~aughable to see the Van Buren,
men "squirming' under the "hard cider
and log cabin" charge; it sits badly on
their stomachs, and the editor Of a Loco
foco paper in Cincinnati has set himself
down to prove that General Harrison
does not live in a log cabin, and that his
cider is all refined. Now that, in our
opinion, is no answer. The cider may
DO very hard, and yet greatly refined,
lust like the old man himself: he is Gas
hard and tough as a pine knot" and yet
he is refined by early education and gen.
tlemanIy association.
The Loco-foco editor proceeds to say
that General Harrison was born of "a
wealthy and aristocratic family" Quite
likely-his father was one of those old
fashioned gentlemen of Virginia who put
something at stake when he signed the
Declaration of Independence. He was
wealthy indeed-and William Henry
Harrison, when he packedup is buds and
followed Wayne, as a young lieutenant
10 fight the Indians of the west, to starve
on the frontiers for the safety OF those adj
yenturers whose sons are now derldlng
him, made a sacrifice of ease and elegant
comforts that gave additional value to his
services in the eyes Of his countrymen
He lived on the frontiers, and the whole
southwestern portion Of the country ha'
grown up under his eye and by his sount
judgment. A log cabin, indeed Why
for years General Harrison has lived in
way in which, by comparison, a log cabil
would be a palace.
But against whom is our Van Burer
friend proving the charge of falsehood
when he attempts to establish the fact tina
General Harrison does not live in a 10y
cabin and drink hard cider? The charge
with all its grossness, was made by a re
pular Van Buren, writer, and publishes
in a regular Van Buren, paper. FLUSHED
with the enjoyment of badly acquires
wealth, these cormorants thought it woul
be sufficient to damn General Harrison
by saying that he was poor, and provin
it by asserting that he lived like a poo
man in the west, occupying a log cabi
and drinking hard cider. But the peopl
see that palaces have risen under the di
rection of men who have recently hel
ofiiccsfor only afew years, and they sus
pcct that it must be by a course diferer
from that pursued by Harrison, throug
whose hands millions of pnblic none
passed, and who is yet sneered at as tn
occupant of a log cabin and the drinke
of hard cider. The story of the log ca
bin will be an eye and heart sore to tho'
who "raised" it-and cider which the
are now compelled to drink will be han
enough to make a pig squeal.
But our object in abiding to this sui
ject at the present time, is merely to flu
nish the evidence challenged in the 70
lowing foolish paragraph from the Sci
tinel.
They Tthe whig.l hesitate to come ont open
and ss.eYt that Gen. Harrison is the candidate
