member him at the ballot Box in No
vember. They do not believe in be-
slowing sinecure upon man howev-
er important his party services, who
was so deficient in skill or courage, as
to be unable or unwilling, whichever
may have been the case, to get his ship
into action, when il was so easily ac-
complished by Rhode Islands brave
and lamented Son. They cannot but
think he was willing to sacrifice his
brave companions and his country's
fame, rather than risk himself where
duty called. But as Mr.. Van Buren,
has taken this responsibility upon him
self; and, as his friend will be at leis-
ure for four years, l would recommend
the Gallant Commodore as a very fit
person to send out on an eloctioneering
tour. No better man can be found TO
| proclaim the corardice Of Gen. Har-
rison, and with the rest Of the demo
cratic party call him "Peiticoat Hero, u
ca Gagged Bird" "a dumb candidate, y
"an old Federahsi." He Way also
ridicule his dwelling as a " Log Cabin,
say that he drinks hard cider, y
"sells whiic men inio slarsry," SC. &C.
1t would be well to send him westward
by way of tho Hermitage" and pre-
vail upon the "Old Roman" to 20 will
him and endorse all these, and all the
Democratic truths daily found in the
Globe and other like decent journals
And, as Congress has voted By a clea'
party majority, that Mr.. Van Burer
may withhold any appropriation, to pay
the expense Of this economical admins.
tration, Commodore Elliott should be
permitted to engage as many more
4" disinteresicd" democrats as his wisdom
may suggest. Having succeeded II
CO nvincing the people, that Genera
Harrison and tho whig party are guilty
Of all the charges preferred agains

the people and preserve their Liberties
The gallant Commodore may mex
proceed to define his position" by OK

an equal share Of glory with the Her

: pie, that but for his ,risdom and coolncs
exhibited OH that occasion all had bcel
lost-that Perry and every other Com
mander, except himself was as reck
less Of lifo and all consequences TO oh
tain that victory, as the Democratic par
fy now arc to elect Mr.. Van Buren,
that they threw their several ships int
the midst Of danger, until most of them
like the Lawrence, became unmanagea
bic wrecks, that but for his ship being
"kept frcsh," the whole fleet had bocl
lost. In making this statement no ont
will call upon the cold Roman" for proof
the facts are as fresh to the world
as the Niagara was when Perry boarded
and carried her into action. Tho gal
liant Commodore may next explain hi
reasons for importing his Jackasses IA
public expense. 1t can be excused OF
the ground Of cusiom,-he sailed o'
that voyage during "he experiment.
Gen. Jackson was experimenting will
the Pet Bank system--Mr Kendall
t with the Post Oflicc-Mr. Woodbur,
with the Treasury and Mr.. Van Burer
with the Romish Pope-and why shoul,
not the Commodore experiment will
Jack asses, when he saw so many o
these animals welding the destinies o
the nation' The Commodore may alsc
claim no inconsiderable degree of pride
from the fact, that his was the least in
furious and the least disgracclul Of tho
whole. That Gen. Jackson's, Messrs
Woodbury's s Kcndall's were complete
failures, and that Mr.. Van Burcn's
though successful, was the most mean
pitilul and dsspicablo that even moder,
Democracy ever practiccd.
