THE STANDING ARMY.

We have, in most disgraceful scene,
which occurred at Tallahassee, on the Sd ult.
a fortaste of the admirable Standing Army
Scheme of Mr.. Van Buren,. 1t appears, tina,
at Loco foco meeting near Tallahassee, a res
olution had been adopted, declaring that the
Wings of Florida were lcagued with the
Northern Abolitionists. Two or three w higs
called on the Editor of the Loco foco paper
In that place, to know the name of the author
OF said resolution. The Editor promised to
give the name the next day but when they
called the next morning, the Editor was mo-
to be found. This created excitement among
the Wings of the town; and the following
day, Wing met Loco, with whom he had
had some difficulty, and after an alteration
the Wing pulled the nose Of the Loco. This
was the whole breach of the peace; and
the citizens went to bed and thought no more
OF 1t. But, In the morning, what was thei
surprise to find that Gov. REID had ordered
troops, from the defence of the frontiers, te
assemble in Tallahassee, during the night
had posted sentincls all over the town-and
declared the city under martial law!
The indignation of the citizens rose TO tho
highest pitch. A meeting was quickly as
sembled, and committee appointed to wal
on the Governor TO inform him that the sol
dIery must leave town. After some hesitan
cy and delay, the valorous Governor Rel,
sent oil his PrGtorian cohorts, and the cit,
was restored TO order.
This is one proof of the monstrous abuses
to which Standing Army may beperverted
In this case, city is placed under martial law
the citizens arrested, or subjected to insults
ana the quiet OF town disturbed-all t
please the whims of Governor, placed over
Tree people, contrary to their inclinatious.

acts have never prohibited the introduction of
colored persons as witnesses, and hence their
frequent admission in that capacity, particu-
larly in naval courts martial. some of them
almost invariably forming portion of every
ships crew. Ii 1t be wrong to admit them,
the fault IS In the law, and the remedy is to
be found only In its alteration 1t is surely
not necessary that should say to YOU, sir,
that this cannot be accomplished by me-.
Were1 either to disregard the law as it stands,
when case for doing so was presented, or to
attempt to change its operation, there would
indeed be cause for complaint and denunca-
ton. But whilst have not the constitutions
al power to alter the law, have no hesitation
in saying that have not been able to discov-
er sufficient reason why the rule which pre-
walls with the consent and appreciation of all
In the judicial, should not be extended to the
military tribunals of the country. The Leg
islatlon of Congress necessary to accomplish
that object w ould be very simple, it being only
necessary toprovide that the rules, in regard
to the admission of witnesses, in this partic.
ular, should be the same in both classes Of
Courts. Some special enactment i'm regard
to Courts Martial held at Sea, and out CT tho
jurisdiction Of any State, might be necessary
but could easily be adjusted
SIT is thus seen that efforts designed to b,
useful in the matter should be directed to Con
grcss, and not to the Executive

The anniversary of the battle the Miami.
"hcre Gen. Harrison took his first lesson in
practical warfare under "Granny'' WAYNE
was celebrated in the city of New York with
great enthusiasm. Fifteen hundred persons
attended the celebration. James Brooks
Est. one of the editors of the Express. made
most thrilling speech on presenting to the
Iippecanoe Clubs of the city the identical
flag borne by Ensign Upton i'm the battle Of
Ilppecanoe, and which was put into b;s
hands for that purpose by the forty or fifty
survivors who met their fellow-citizens on
the held OF their fame, in May last, to confnte
the vile ISLANDERS that have been circulated a.
gainst their beloved commander. The Flag,
pierced with bullets, bloodstained. and nj,
torn and slashed with the tomahawk. w,s
received or behalf of the clubs, amid the
deafcning shouts of the people, by ]. N. Rev
hoids' EST. who made a most eloquent reply.
A fact was related by Mr. Brooks in his
speech, which illustrates the cruel and vim
dictlve spirit of the present Administration.
The gentleman, Mr.. Polk, of Indiana. who
was the organ of the old soldiers in the pre-
sentation of the Flag to Mr.. Brooks at Tin
pecanoe, was THEN Postmaster: but he ia
not so NOW. He has been dismissed from
oihcc--and most probably for that very Of
fence.

SERVED HIM RIGHT

a friend in Indiana writes lis that a few
days before the election, eight hundred
Wayne county men went ont on horseback to
meet General Harrison at Grecnville They
had not proceeded far on their way when
they discovered that some British Tory had
hung petticoat on tree, about 80 feet from
the ground, and TO secure it from the Rcpub-
llcan Wings, had besmeared the tree with
filth. few HooshieIs alightcd from their
horses, and notwithstanding the federal loco
focos were armed with guns, knives and to-
mahawks, the Hooshiers compelled one of
them TO climb the tree through his own filth,
bring down the petticoat, put it on himself,
and parade before the company, aud perform
certain federal loco foco cyoutions, to the
iEeffablo chagrin Of his federal confcdcrates.

" correspondent Of the Rockingham
Nee's'cr VINO gives an account of the discus
sion at this place, says:-''That there were
changes from the Wing to the Democratic
party, none can deny.-I heard it said re-
peatedly on Tuesday, that thirty changes
were positively known, the truth of which l
do not Doubt
We too heard of changes, great changes,
during the progress of the discussion. but liz
tie or nothing about them since. Al one
time the party claimed 2OO-at another, forty.
ana SO on; but now that the dust and smoke
OF the battle have blown away, we find il ,v,s
all mere trick of our opponents, and it is
difficult to get one of them to saw any ,l;na
OH the subject. TO show the arts resorted
TO- we will relate an observation-disclosures the
discussion, an individual was observed 10 bo
taking particular pains to noise about his con-
version. AT length he was overheard Inv a
gentleman of his own county, who thus ac-
costed bum :-"Why -, how often do
you intend to be converted! I hear, va.
make the same declaration after Mr.. Smiths
speech In Rockingham-and, to my knowl-
edge you never have been Wing" That
was poser.-The chap was playing the
, stool-pigeon.
The same correspondent speaks of 1.-the
want OF respect which was manifested by the
wings while MIR. Smith was speaking &c.
ms Is to be regretted, we admit-but ;us-
''ce requires -us to say that the example was
set by SOME of the other party in the morn;,r
While Gov. Barbour was speaking. This.
however, is no apology. We disapprove of
IL IN Doth parties' SO far as they engaged in
it-nnt we are not willing to sec either of
them brought under indiscriminote can

THE GEORGIA CONVENTION.

A wing Convention was held at Macon,
Georgia, on the 18th and 18th ult. which was
attended by upwards of Eight Thousand Del
egates. 1t is said to have been the largest
popular assemblage which was ever seen
South Of the Potomac. Many of the most
distinguished men of the day were present
and addressed the people. Amongst them,
we notice the name of the Hon. VIM. e..
Preston, whose reception was most enthusi-
astic. The Hon. John Mcpherson Berrien,
was chosen President by reclamation. Geor-
gIa, we doubt not, will follow in the footsteps
of the North State.
