III
few days since in town in Illinois, num-
ber of citlznns of both political parties as
sembled to hear discussion of political
subjects. Among those present was an old
man whose head was white with the snow
of seventy winters. He walked with u
long staff, and his hearing failed him. He
was placed on the speakers stand. Here
he sat patiently hearing the different speak
ers. At length young lawyer came on
the stand and shortly commenced most
violent TRADE of personal abuse Of General
Harrison. The old man sat patiently list
eniDg to it all until the speaker pronounced
Harrison a copard. The utterance Of that
word appeared like magic on the old man.
His eyes dlmmed with age, flashed with
renovated FIRE seizing his stick and spring.
ing to his feet with all the buoyanCy Of the
age of twenty, he seized the speaker by the
collar, and in clear, shrill voice, that thrill
led the crowd, exclaimed "you're liar.
/, said the old mani served under Harri-
son, and you shall not tell that lie Of my
old commander to my face" The effect
may be imagined, but not described. The
whole crowd, of both parties, became SO
indignant at the speaker, that he had to
be smuggled away to protect his person.

VINO WILL GET THR NATION OUT OF
THE MUD!--lt was related to US few days
since, by gentleman from the western
part of Illinois, that an old gentleman Of
that stute who had beena staunch support
eI Of General Jackson, and even Of Martin
Van Buren in 1885, called to see friend Of
his in Springfield, warm Harrison man.
"And you think that Old Tipp, can bring
the Government back to its former party"
said the Harrison man.
81 do" said his frend--" For remem-
Der many years ago, wher driving my team
to Mad River Mills, tha, my wagon got in
to nlire hole, from which the horses could
not draw it. While in this dilemmi, Gen.
Harrison came riding by. Without delay
the old General dsmountsd; pulled off his
coat, and putting his shoulder to the wheel,
helped to get my wagon out of the rut.
The peoples wagon of the Government is
in the mire hole Of corruption. and firmly
believe that General Harrison is the only
man whose services the people will accept
IN helping them to get out once more on
hard ground. "--E'airiot.

The Elections hereabouts came off finely,
last Monday. In our own City party lines
were not drawn. The following Ticket

For Superuisors.-E Clark, ]. NJ. Allen,

For Fence Viecers.--D. Steele, G. Ri
chardson, j. NJ. Felt.
In Perrysbufg, the Wings carried all be-
fore them. Last fall they were successful
by small majority; but now their entire
ticket is elected by more than two to one.
Our brother of the Ohio Wing will doubt
less give an account of the spirit which ami
mated the Wings.
Ir Toledo the Wings were triumphantas
usual by a large majority.
In Waterville, where the genius of Loco
Focoism never yet presided, the Wings
elected their entire ticket by an increased
majority. So much for the towns in the
vicinity of old Fort Megs and Presque Isle.
They are true now, but by next fall, they
will do better still. The spirit is up, and
the cheers for Old Tip are as loud and as
incessant here now, as they were on the 5lh
day of May, 1918, when he raised the siege
of Fort Megs. Three cheers for the Mau-
NEE Valley.

SONGS, CLUBs, Loo CABINS &c.--Oul
Country is all enthusiasm. The name o
nc. candidate for the Presidency ever be-
fore excited half the feeling which now pre-.
walls every where in consequence of the
nomination of General Harrison. Every
village has its song makers and sngers--its
Tippecanoe clubs and Log Cabin to hold
them IN. A voice seemingly from the very
heart of the nation has spoken-and it
must be redeemed. Heretofore the wings
have been governed by the feelings of the
moment, in their opposition; but now, they
have had experience, bitter, bghting, ru-
inous, and as if from slumber of apathy.
they have aroused as one man, with a de-
termination, to make last and final effort
to shake offthe yoke ofoppression. Every
one seems to be aware, that if the cause
fails now, there is no hope hereafter, and

made doubly poorly the ruinous train orex-
perlments, plans, official delinquencies, cor
rupt appointments, which like succeeding
flashes of vivid lightning, have rent the
