ious and martial conflicts under certain en-
blems. The ancient Romans took the Ea-
Gle for the emblem the Mahometans took
the Crescent; the Scotch took the thistle
and the cross of St Andrew the old Jack
son party in this country took the Hickory
pole, the hickory broom, and the hog
and the Wing party has the Log CABIN
The late worshipers of the hog and the
hickory pole denounce the Log Cabin as
poor and unmeaning sign. 1t was not one
to be sure of our party's choosing it was
forced upon them, we admit, by the in
sulting ieers of their enemies, at the honest
and honorable poverty of an old grey hair
ed soldier yet we regard it as the most
strongly and beautifully significant eblem
ever adopted by any party or people.
We like the annexed remark Of the
Buffalo Sentinel
"WHIG ARGUMENT. The grumbEng
Locoiocos point to the log cabin, and
cry, There is Wing argument They
are right. Ii is the best argument in the
world. This country never saw another
such. The hickory poles of Andrew Jack
son were nothing to them. The fire cross
symbol Of Scotland compare not with it in
significance.
''When the Pilgrim fathers of N. Eng
land landed at Plymouth, in the holy name
of Liberty they erected Log Cabins. To
the same cause we erect them now, and IN
fuse the same spirit by which they were
animated. When the gallant settlers of
Virginia landed at jamestown, they erected
log cabins, and have been the chosen home
of liberty and republican principles, and the
habitations Of the pioneers Of the pro-
gressiye West.
"This is log cabin nation. Here lib
erty was graded in log cabins. Chivalry
grew up in them. Why should it not,
when each LOG cabin has been a fortress, and
each chink between the logs lope hole
for the settlers rifle? There never was an
argument so powerful, so reasonable, so
Just. This country has been governed and
ruined by palace bred politicians. a log
cabin statesman alone can set her right
Such one is General Harrison. He has
spent his life in and among them. He is
brave, wise, honest and patriotic.

NO CHANGEs.-The State Eagle, pub
lished at Hartford, CT. by j. Holbrook,
and heretofore staunch Administration pa
per, has hauled down the Van Buren, flag
from its head, and in the last number comes
out boldly and learlessly against the men
and measures Of the present corrupt admin
istratlon.
The editor says
We have come to the determination no
longer to make ourselves mere drudge 10
Office hunters, whose minds are shrivelled
TO the narrow compass Of self interest, and
whose political principles are all suspended
on the contingencies of personal aggrandise-
ment. Our means have been ample, for
acquainting ourselves thoroughly, with the
local and general policy, and the faults and
virtues of the party with whom we have so
long been identified. The discovery OF
important errors in that party, is no new
thing with us nor is the struggle between
our party obligations, and the honest con-
viction of our heart, which has produced
the result already announced, the first Sc
we're trial through which we have been call
ed to pass, in laboring to reconcile the course
of some of our acknowledged leaders, will
our own notions of democracy.
II is our solemn and firm belief that the
great mass of the supporters ofVan Buren,
Kendall, Niles, s. Co., not only in Conn.
ecticut but throughout the Union, are wo-
fully deceived as to the object to be gained
by prolonging the power of these men fol
another term of four years. We have seer
enough TO convince us that their motives
in soliciting an extension of that power, are
not patriotic, but mercenary and selfish il
the highest degree.
