Francis J. Grund translated Pro-
lessor Hollands Life OF Van Buren,
into the German language in 1886.
This work was ably and ingeniously
dressed up for the occasion to make
Van Buren, great man, and was ex-
fpressly designed to operate on the
election. Crumbs translation carried
it to all the German population in
Pennsylvania, and there was no bog
raphy of Harrison in the German
language, nor any thing to counter
act the effect of the biography Of Van
Buren,. But the same Mr. Grund has
now translated biography of Gen.
Harrison, and the Germans Will see
the contrast between the two candi-
dates in bold relief. His new paper
| in the German language will also en-
tighten them on this and other sub
jects. e s'a I. .4

one ever thought of writing albio-

after he became the spoils candidate

Mr. Editor.-In noticing some Of
the northern prints and also the Ga
zette, find that considerable is said
in relation to holding territorial DEM
ocratic convention, for the purpose
they say Of bringing out the best tai
ents in the territory, to represent US
in Congress-. If that was the only
object in view, and the means would
accomplish the end, no reasonable
objection could be urged against it.
But those who have watched the
movements of the party now in pow
er for the last ten years can not but
see and know, that the projectors of
this work, have other objects to ac-
complish. 1t is clearly to be seen,
that it is the working of a few, who
revolve around common centre, Gre
ated, and placed here by power that
rules over us, who are urging this
matter on, for the sole purpose of raj
lying their forces, and when once
brought to bear, if power is on their
side, party lines will Immediately be
| drawn, and an effort made to place
the whole balance of power in this
territory, in the hands Of the party.
This is a course Of policy that should
be deprecated by every honest citizen
and lover ofhls country yes, by ev-
| cry one who wishes to see peace and
prosperity prevail throughout our
young and happy Territory.

THE CUSTOM HOUSE GIVING WAY!
Glorious from Nelp York CIVIL

When we penned our article last week. we did
not anticipate Gas our readers may have noticed)
that We should gain in the CRY of New York
the seat Of the Custom House and its army of sti-
pendares, whose salaries are poured out like water
to bride, corrupt and control the election. But
the popularity of the sold soldier" strikes terror
even at the very door Of the money changers :"
We have but little more space to spare than may
be sufficient to record the following account current.
as we find it "posted' by that clear headed and
clean handed old Whig--the editor of the New
York Commercial Advertiser. If any thing could
add 10 the joy with which we record these prelim-
mary trumphs of the people, it would be furnished
in the assurances we receive from every quarter,
that the name Of General Harrison, like that of
General Jackson, is stronger than that of any of
his friends. This is 50 here-it is so in Pennsylya-
MIA, as will be by letter from one of its Con-
gressional representatives in another coIumn-it
is so every where. His election is therefore no
longer matter of speculation.

victorious. These are contradictions of terms,
but they are nevertheless true The Wings went
under every possible disadvantage. They did not
erPect TO carry The city. Their principal object in
contesting the election at all was to preserve their
organization, and to hold their own was all they
expected to accomplish. And in this they have
succeeded, notwithstanding the prodigous efforts
of their opponents.
But the Wings have done more than to barely
hold their own. The majority Of the administration
party has been handsomely reduced since the last
autumn notwithstanding the manufacture by the
Marine Court, within the past week, of upwards
two thousand voters, most of whom, beyond a
doubt voted for Varian. The army of laborers
upon the Croton water works, swelled the agrarian
vote by many hundreds, striking harder at the
polls by reason OF their recent strike for higher
wages, and the continued refusal of large numbers
OF them to return to their work.
Again: the preliminary operation of the registry
law was so far in their favor as greatly to multiply
the facilities for double voting, which facilities,
there is every reason to believe, were not me-
elected Nor is this all; we are assured by the
morning papers, the Express in particular that the

authorized to say that no opposition will be

no contest--no ExcITEMENT-no intriguing

THE PUBLIC DISCUSSION ON FRIDAY.

THE PUBLIC DISCUSSION ON FRIDAY.
Our readers will recollect, that next Friday is the
day fixed upon by the Loco-foco orators, of Frank
lin to answer, or rather attempt to answer, Mr..
Leonard's speech at that place on the 22d ut. Mr..
Hickerson is to open the discussion, and is to con-
fine his remarks to one hour, Mr.. Lowry, if we I'm
derstand the arrangement, is to follow Mr., H.
"giving birds eye glance" of matters and things
in general and is to confne his remarks to half an
hour. Dr. Redman took care not to state the
length of his speech, but it is presumed it will be
somewhat proracted. We have heard it intimate
that those democratic orators would back out from
their pledge-soms of the more calculating of the
party, fearing the result. The Democrat is also
silent on the subject. 1t is said the arrangement
was made in the heat of excitement" and there.
fore the parties would not hold themselves respon-
sible &c. &c. But this wont do; they must ethe,
"toc the mark" or honorably back out. The dis
cussion is just what the Wings want, and is wha
the leaders Of the federal Locos, most fear.
