The New York Courier says" Mr..
JOHN VAN buren,, the hopeful son of
the Presidentofthe United States, had
the impudence few days since to
to declare in the public bar-room of
Congress Hall, Albany, that General
HARRISON was a COWARD! For
tunately for tie, cause Of truth, an of
ficer of the army was present, who
promptly required of the coxcomb an
immediate retraction Of the slander,
at the hazard Of being held Dersonal-
ly responsible for !Ile 'aagaage. Af-
ter avery little Lllster :, his promi-
sing son of his father .srived at the
conclusion that
+" Discretion is the better part Of valor !"
and humbly withdrew his charge in
the same public manner in which il
was made"

The undersigned having purchased the good Will
of the late proprietor Of the Post proposes to deliver
the Pilot in It's stead those subscribers to that pa
per who will consent to receive ii.
He was induced to make the purchase, because,
without personal knowledge of the subscribers, he
has understood generally that many of them are OPP
posed to the present administration, and that, among
those who are not opposed, there are highly res
pectable and honorable men, who might be expected
to receive the truth, although, unwelcome. To the
original and sincere democratic State Rights men,
the Pilot will always speak an acceptable language.
Men NAV change-we may have differences of oPin-
ion as to men, but fundamental principles remain
the same; and all that ask of old readers, IS
to hear u.s. and Judge US by our works We do not
doubt their patriotism. We give the strongest ey-
dence of our confidence in their hberalty, by paying
our money for their good will; and we have done this
the moro cheerullv because we have been lead to be-
Ieve that the subscribers to the Post are many of
them. not only intelligent and liberal minded, but
independent likewise much so, that they can and
will think for themselves, free from all fears of pot

Mr. Van Baren in a Dilemma:
How 10 dodge a question.

The working men of Philadelphia put
TO him this question care you in favor
of reducing the standard Of wagosi'
evidently referring to the present stand
ard for they could have reference to
none other. a very simple question
too simple not to be understood by the
greatest simpleton. But it was a puz-
zler to the President; therefore he ei-
iects not to understand it. He, the
President Of these United States not to
understand this plain and simple qucs-
tion-''Are you in favor of reducing the
standard Of wagcs?" But he saw, il
would not do to understand it; for then
he must answer categorcally; and the
dilemma was this; if he said yes, he was
done for with the laborers-if he said
40, he discredited the leaders in and out
Of Congress, Of his own party; subter-
iuge became necessary; he had none
other but to deny that he underst ood
their meaning. Let him who can believe
this-lor he himself says-to meet your
rieus, | will do so and so. Pray how
could he know their rie,cs, if he did no,
know their meaning? their views and
their meaning, in this case, were one
and the same thing. To pretend to un-
dcrstand the one, but not to understand
the other, was little, pitiful subtcrfuge,
by a distinction without a difference !;
and was quite unworthy of a President
of the United States. But he is going
to meet their views, without knowing
their meaning; and how, think you !;
why, by an answer full Of vague gcner-
alties; which may mean something OF
may mean nothing; and il something
no body can tell what; and of fummery
about his regard for the poor laborcrs

Not being able to comprehend your
meaning, | say all this to meet your
uieus." Such is the substance Of Mr..
Van Buren's answer; and to tho in
tcrrogation put, it is neither yes nor no !;
and in itself it is equally dark.
Mr.. Van Buren tells these working
men that partial Legislation, inonopo-
lies, congregated wealth and interested
combinations" disturb the relation be-
tween the wages Of labor and the pri-
ces of commodities, and to the prejudice
Of the laborcr. This had nothing to do
with their enquiry; they were not com
planning that The standard Of wages, as
it is, or as il has been, was too low
with that standard they were satisfied;
but their enquiry was whether he was
for still lower standard. They had

that contract will soon be entered into,

The returns have been received from

that these will give Wing majority Of

is merely nominal.
With the usual Wing vote in these
counties, added to the results positively
ascertained in the rest of the State, tho
Wing majority exceeds twenty five hun
dred votcs-A result so decisive az to
render it A ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN
that the TEN VOTES Of Maryland
will be given TO General HARRISON on
