been used towards him; met and refuied the posi-
lions Of Mr.. Grundy, and closed his sloqueni reply
In manner long to be remembered by Felix Gaus-
pv and JoHs @. CALHOUN. The Globe says, since
the return of Mr.. Tallmadge to the Senate, he has
been boiling over every dav, and alludes most in
delcately to his having been leclured by the Vice
President. We need not tell our readers, that Mr.
Tallmadge is Of all men in the nation, the most
hated, feared, and slandered by Mr.. Van Buren, and
his satellites. He is hated for his honesty and in
tegrily-feared for his talents and unbendng firm
ness, and sandered because be is hated and feared
he speaks In the Senate, as did Cicero in the Ro-
man forum, agains, the conspiraors. His voice is
hateful TO the powers that be, and although no Sc
nator In the body is more decorous in debate, still
for defending himself he has been cautioned as the
Globe unblushingly confesses. His language has,
at all times, been that Of Senator, representing 4
Tree and sovereign State, that has not yet bent the
knee to Baal, or gnoby humbled himself before The
Federal Executive. We would ratherb Mr.. TALL
MADGE, standing on the proud eminence he occu-
pies, fearlessly and nobly battling for the great
principles Of the Constitution and the rights Of the
peoplS,a single hour, than to remain lifetime, in
ignoble Senatorial servitude at the foot-s,ool Of
Executive power.

Suppose that the same holds true with regard to
the other Counties of the State, the whole number Of
lies would amount TO the round sum 2OOOil
The design OF the Statesman is well understood at
home and will recoil its author. But it was in
tended to operate upon public sentiment abroad
That Convention was emphatically Convention Of
the People-the great consisted of farmers and
mechanics-the bone and snew of the land II
was gathering Of the People in their primary and
sovereign capacity-of men who we're determined to
throw off the thraldom of few office holders and
re-workers, and take their cause into their own
hands
They have willed the doom Of the Administration,
and only wait till October to record their edic,
You can form no idea of the harmony and enthu-
siasm which pervaded the Harrisonian democracy
of Ohio One sentiment inspires the throng, and
every day, men desert the camp Of the enemy, and
join the standard Of cold Tippecanoe"
The ofice-holders are alarmed, and resort to
every expedient TO check these deserions-but in
vain
Long trains of i'll have passed unheeded- dumb,
But vengeance is behind, and justice is to come"

GREAT MEETING OF THE PEOPLE AT
PHILADELPHIA

There was a great gathering Of the citizens of
Philadelphia, friendly to Harrison and Reform, on
Thursday evening, March 9Th. Bythose who witness
cd it, the is saidto have been exceedingly graft
flying. JOHN ELY, white haired soldier Of the Revo
luton who present and took part in the battle of
Lexington, was chosen as Chairman, by acclama-
ton. Mr.. Wise, who was present, and was repeat
eddy called for addressed the meeting for about half
an hour in speech of unusual fervor and effect
The meeting was also addressed by Messrs. Charles
Naylor, VIM B. Reed, Joseph R. Chandler, Josiah
Randall, John c. Montgomery, and Col. McKenny,
Noting the proceedings, and the spirit which reign
ed on the occasion, the Philadelphia Inquirer says;
"There is indeed, no mistake in the political revo-
luton in progress throughout the country. The
signs of the times were never more emphatic, and
Philadelphia, we feel authorized to say will fulfil
her part at the coming struggle. All classes min
gled together last night. The day laborer and the
mechanic, the merchant and the manufacturer-all
seemed imbued with the same spirit; and anxious
each to do his utmost TO promote the OF cor
rect principles"

MR.. GRUMPY AND Mr.. TALLMADc

NAAN' oNONDl AMI NH. KALAMAZOO.
The Globe Of the 9th, contains a notice of the
speech OF Mr.. GRuNDY, in the common fulsome s,vle
of the organ of the Administration, when il speaks
of the faithful OF this we do not complain. If h,
can make the people believe that all their geese are
srans, 1t is no business of ours. That print has en-
joyed that kind of monopoly, until its praise of
man, or Of speech, is admitted by every candid
man. TO be prina aeic evidence Of the want OF prin
cpe in the one, and of the absence Of ability in the
other Had the editor confined himself 10 Mr..
Grundy, we should have left that gentleman to de.
fend msefas we'll as he could, against the suspi
cons that must have attached TO him and his speech
But the organ of Mr.. Van Buren,, has thought pro-
per to attack MI. TALLMADGE. 1t says, "his (Mr
Grundys) mode of dealing with Mr.. Talmadge
had the happiest effect on that discontinued gentle
man. SO far the organ is right. But can il say as
much in relation to Mr.. Grundy? We confess. If
he felt happy under the manly, vigorous and homo
rabe reply OF Mr.. TALLMADGE to his premeditated
assault, he must have remarkable happy DISPOSE
tion or be wholly insensible to the finer feelings of
the human breast. We repeat if Mr.. Grundy was
satisfied with his assault, and the rebound no other
person has reason to complain. II is true he had
made great preparation TO demolish MIR. Tallmadge
and gave notice the day before that he intended 10
attack him, but carefully concealed the point Of at
tack 10 the moment it was made The powerful
speech of Mr.. KALAMAZOO, had been made seve-
raj days before, in which be had facetiously au-
ded to The mission OF Mr.. Grundy to Tennessee to
get his license renewed, and Of his having on the
road, spoken of the conservative character of the
forthcoming message. This, II seems, Mr. Grundy
had taken in high .dudgeon; instead Of asking to
hear the matter explained at the time, he nursed his
wrath to keep it warm, for several days, and in a
language little becoming his age and character,
bounced upon Mr.. Tallmadge; but for once at least,
he soon discovered that he had walked up the wrong
passenger. Mr. TALLMADoE, though unprepared,
showed himself all that his friends could have de-
sred he took his stand above the low slang that had

A NEW CHARGE.

The Globe of Saturday, copies an article from the
Cincinnati Advertiser, making the grave charge
against Gen. Harrison, that he held Office under
John Adams, as well as other Presidents. Well,
suppose he did, is the Globe ignorant of the fact,
that General Washington also accepted Office under
John Adams1 He was appointed by him Comman-
der and Chief Of the armies Of the United States,
after he had held the Office Of President and accept
ed the appointment in highly complimentary letter.
Was it wrong in Gen. Harrison to follow his ex-

7 FEDERAL CONVENTION IN OHIO.
The Ohio Statesman gives list Of the members Of
the late gathering Of Whigery At Columbus Ii names
each man-the place from which he halls ss delegate
and sets down their respective csllings This done
In their presence, and under their eyes, and in the face
cannot DO stronger guarantee Of the general
noes Of the roll
The array Of the HARRIsoN trainbsnds is proof con-
elusive that while he is put forward the farmer Of the
North Bend, he is in reality supported as the under Of
6cer Of court, the clerk Of Hamilton county, the
gister Of the edicts Of the professional and privileged
classes.
"The convention was composed Of fse hundred and
Mirty-egM bankers and dependent o6ic1s-of three
hundred and Joriysir lawyers and doeiors-of sepen
hundred and oriythree e6iee-holders and the great
mass Of those associated with them merchants and
speeuiaims."
A more infamous attempt at deception never fell
under our observation. About week before the
assembling Of the Con vrnion, the Van BuIen office
holders u Coumbas addressed circulars the post
masters Of the different Counties in the State, re-
questing them to make returns OF all the bank direc-
tors and stockholders all the Wing ofice-holders,
including justices Of the peace, coroners, sherifs,
&C., all the lawyers, doctors, and merchants, within
their respective Counties. This was done; and
when these returns were received, the Statesman
Immediately published them as delegates in attsn.
dance. So far, however, from being correct list
Of the members" manning each man" and "setting
down their respective callings," in their presence
and under their eyes," it contains tissue Of the
basest falsehoods This list Of Wing Office holders,
bankers, &c throughout the State, amounts TO little
more than 1900. Yet, not in one hundred Of the
persons named, were aoithin fHy miles Of Columbus
on The day of The Convention! The number Of dele
gates in attendance is variously estimated between
Is 900 and %, 00O and after deducting the list given
by the Statesman, amounting to little more than
l,6O0 we would inquire Of what materials the re-
naming $4,000 was composed? Is there single
mechanic or farmer set down2 Not one. Yet ninety
nine one hundredths of the delegates in attendance
were farmers and mechanics Soldiers OF the last
war-soldiers of the revolutionary war; were in at
tendance: and yet these men, who were fighting for
the liberties Of the country, whilst their calumniators
we're "puling in their mothers arms" are stigma
tized as "aboliilonists and office-holders."
To show you the baseness Of the falsehoods let
one example be cited. The delegation from Mus
kingum County, according to the Statesman, com
prises Al bankers, 81 Office holders, 26 lawyers, and

FOR THE MApIsoNIAN.
THE CARICATURES.

Pictorial representations, have always regarded
as the most eligible mode Of handing down hisori
cal facts to poserty-as affordng faithful impress
of the living times.
Mr.. H. r. Robinson, of New York, has greatly
improved this art, BY blending with correct litho-
graphic sketches of the principal in the great
national events political summersets, and party
coalitions which have taken place in rapid success
sion in this anomalous and disiointed period of our
history, such happy vein Of pleasantly and humor,
governed by that judicious poetic license, which,
while il increases the interest," does not at all initiate
against the main truth of the incidents portrayed.
One of the best efforts Of this highly gifted artist
has been bu, recently issued from his photographic
press, under the title of "THE NORTH BEND FARMER
AND HIS VisIroRs"
The poetry Of the picture consists in hypotheti-
cal interview at the farm yard of the Peoples Log
Cabin candidate for the Presidency, and the princi-
pal personages of the recent coalition to defeat him
and the sovereign people a, the polls. On nearing
the log cabin, these personages in the disguise of
spies, are supposed to have fallen in, Unexpectedly
with the American Cincinnatus, at the plough, who
accosts them with the frankness of old Virginia

cheer, you arc welcome have no champagne, but
give you mug Of good cider with some nam and
eggs, and good clean beds | am plain baekwoods-
man / have cleared some lands, killed some Indians,
and made red coats Ay in my time"
Upon the unexpected tenor Of this welcome, the
would-be royal visitor turns to his comrade and re-
marks as IL in an under tone

fool After the many opportunities he has had OF en-
richng himself to live in log cabin, and plough his

princes, enrich my friends, punish my enemies,

rebuke-
