The day of retribution is close at hand; YOU
have refused tn listen TO the complaints and
suffering OF the people; and they will do them
selves justice at the ballot box. The people
are moving in their majesty and their power;
and will elect General Harrison by accama-
ton.
He is farmer, az well as soldier and a
statesman; he understands tie interest Of the
farmers, and has sympathy which you have
not, for the labUrinI man and the mechanic,
Tie people will call him from the plough, as
the Romans did Cincnnatus of old, to quiet
domestic confusion and disorder, and to put
The Republic once more in prosperous condi-
tion. Post up your books, then, / tell yOu fair
ly, and square yoW accounts honestly, or burn
up your departments yoW hare done here
tofore, or he ociH punish yoar army Of default
ers.
The voice Of the people is heard already
like the moving OF mighty waters. They have
agated the waters that healing may spring
from them. You had as we'll try and stop the
voice OF the wind, as to sihe the voice Of the
people, Your selfish office holders who have
attened upon the substance of the people, will
try and oppose their will, but it will be useless.
The people can and will 'shake them off as
easy as the lion does the dew drops from his
name"
1.-The People will remember" in the patriot
ic sentiment of General Harrison ''that TO pre-
serve their liberties, they must do their OWn
votiRg and their 0tcn .fghting."
A gentleman who had the anecdote from the
lips of the late Gen. Upton himself, has been
SO kind as to commit it 10 writing for our use

ANECDOTE OF THE BATTLE OF TIP
PECANOE.
During the last Presidential contest, the mil
itary claims of Gen. Harrison were freely can
vassed, and some OF his opponents did not scru-
pie to charge him with a want of courage. The
late Gen. Upton, ofthe United States Senate,
who had served as an Ensign at the battle of
Tppecanoe, was asked by friend ''wllat
think you, General, OF Harrison's courage!"--
He replied, ''I think him as brave a man as
ever lived-no one could have behaved with
more true courage than he did-while the en-
gagement was hottest, and when the bullets
flew thckest, he was TO he seen speaking in
his ordinary tone, and giving command with
the greatest precision. The company to which
belonged" said Gen. Upton, "went into &C
lion eighty strong, and only twenty survived
the firing upon us was most tremendous. Al
ter the General had made his arrangements for
repeng the attack of the Indians at other
points, he rode up TO where | was, and made
The following inquiries where's your Cap
tain?" He is dead, sir-"Where is the first or
second Lieutenant" They are both dead,
was tile reply. "We, where is the Ensign"
''He stands before you, General. swell, my
brave fellow" said Harrison, ''hold your ground
Ior:five minutes longer. aud all will be safe. p
In fifteen minutes the enemy was repulsed on
all sides. Upton CALAMITY edcn his few re-
maing comrades to the charge, and victory
perched upon the Am rican banner.
AS an evidence of Harrisnns coolness in the
midst Of danger, Gen. Upton stated that at the
moment the conversation ended between him
self and General Harrison, and as the horse up
on which was mounted his aid, the late Gen.
TAYLOR, of Indiana, was in the act ofturning, a
rifle ball pierced him through the body and
brought him to the ound, catching his riders
legs under him. 1t was favorte black horse
of the Generals, and he exclaimed. "Ah, is
my gallant old black gone! Well, rise and
mount again, for we have no time to mourn the
loss of a horse, when so many brave ones are
exposed to similar fate" land having re-
mounted his aid, he dashed into the midst of
he danger. In few minutes the battle was
over.
