THE ROUGHHEWER.
We welcome this auxiliary to the field.
twill aid us in building thousand Log
Cabins, as it has in this single instance.
Mr. j. an intelligent farmer, and recent
supporter Of the Admins lration, became
a subscriber for the Rough Hewer, and
found ltof course filled with such epthets
as coward granny fool &c. upon
/, General Harrison, urging them as argu-
nents against his fitness as ii President.
Having lived at day when the whole
nation were paying him tributes Of graft
tnde Tor his services as a hero and a
statesman, he thought little strange Of
the reasons so potently urged, and thus
hailed good Log Cabin friend:
/ Nelghbor L. what does the Hewer
mean by calling General Harrison a
granny p
i Z. 1t refers to his once having threat
ened to. frock the inhuman Proctor, if he
should take him prisoner of war.
j. But why does it call him coward
L. T. Because 'he has fought more battles
than any man living, and neuer suffered
/ a defeat
j. An excellent reason truly. But
why stigmatlze him as Log Cabin
Candiaafe?'
T. Because he went into the West
when it was a wilderness, and from its
'rougb' forest .hew:.t him u cabin home.
and for many long years protected the
Log Cabin pioneer from the brand OF
the savage.
j. This is excellent well. But why
does the Hewer decry him as a fool 2
T. Because he has been forty years in
i'the service of his country and was sue
cessfully appointed to the most respon-
ssible stations by Washington, Adams.
Jefferson, Madison. and the younger
Adams. Because he has filled no more
important Offices than Governor of the
( Western Territory, Member Of Congress.
Senator Of the United States, and Minister
to Foreign Courts, originating and prose
cutting measures which are now the set
tied and well approved policy the coun-
! try.
j. He then was scolyarU with Wash
/ ing,on, an associate granny with A.
dams, and fool with Jefferson and
Madison, and Log Cabin man Nth tie
people.
/ I. Exactly so.
4 j. The arguments of the sHewer' are
convincing. Please take my subscription
for Ten copies eff the Log Cu5ia' Instead
of one which you solicited.
