Henry Petiiltcr.

The Wing papers have of late been publishing
what they call an amusing accident about
Henry Petriken, the Deputy Secretary Of the COM
monwealth of Pennsylvania, copied from the fiar-
.;.,.~,, oi"onric. Mr.. T., 1t Us SAID, beng on a
visit to Centre county, (his home, was requested
by the Democrats Of Be!lciontc to make speech,
with which request he complied. In his speech
continues the story he took occasion 10 call Cen.
Harrison coward" at which one of tic Gene
rails old soldiers to whom Mr. p. paid 800 to join
the army in his stead, bristled up, and mmistered
to him very severe rcproof.
This story, which has, among others, also very
much amused our worthy contemporary Of the Pc
oria Register, turns out to be but another nven-
ton got up to prop the declining military reputa-
ton of the Wing "hcro," as viii appear from the
following note of Mr.. Petrikcn, published in the
late Harrisburg papers.
Mr.. Petrkcn, after quoting the "Incident' from
the Chronicle, says
"Thc above, as far as regards myself,
and all others If the name with whom |
am connected, contains not one Woru Oh
truth. AT The close ofthe last rar ! maa

not subject to military duty during the

meeting for the best reason in the world 1,
none was held, and attended none there
or elsewhere: and, further, no man, either
publicly or in private conversation, ever
heard me call Gen. Harrison "a coward. )
The whole story is sheer fabrication !;
and the person or persons who originated
it, will have reason more to regret the
publication in the Chronicle of the article
in question, than myself. | shall say no
more, as have appealed to legal tribu-
bunal for redress. II. PETRlKEN."

guiding star, we were always victorious under the
banner of democracy. Our enemies are wei
aware of this and, like drowning rats, grasp

spcctive governments
With that confidence which am proud to say
tan always be rcposed in my countrymen at the

From Florida.

The St. Joseph Times of the 18th ult.
contains the account of more barbarous
Indian murders. 1t states that on the
18th. the house of Mr.. Wiley Jones, on
the Econfena, in Washington county,
was attacked--the premises all burned.
and Mrs. Jones and one of her children
slain. Her husband says the Timcs) on
returning from one of his fields about 10
o'clock, in the morning, and when within
two hundred yards of the house, heard
four or five rifles fired in his yard, he ran
for the house and on rising the hill, found
the house surrounded by Indians, and
eight or ten in the piazza. The Indians
discovered him at that moment and pur-
sued him, firing and whooping at him
like devils. Being entirely unarmed,
without even a knife, he fled and escaped
in the hammock. Mr.. Jones daughter,
girl of about 10 years of age, states that
her mother, negro woman and four
children were in the house when the
Indians were discovered in the yard.
Mrs. Jones caught up the youngest child
and was shot in attempting to escape out
of the door, struck by three balls, one
passing through the head of the child in
her arms. The daughter above mention
ed took the two children, and while the
Indians were ransacking and plundering
the house, passed out unmolested and
hid them in the bushes. The little hero
inc then returned to the house, in the
midst of the Indians, helped her mother
up. who was lying i'll the porch, and
assisted her about three hundred yards
into the field, when becoming faint from
loss of blood, the little girl left her ii
search of water. She returned with it
but her mother after drinking died in f.;
few moments. She then covered he
mother and the dead infant with bushe:
and carried the remaining children to tho
nearest neighbor. The Indians destroye,
all the furniture, and stole about $500
the most of which was in specie, ant
carried off or burnt the notes and othe
papers of Mr. Jones.

London bankers, with two hundred mil
lions of American stocks in their packets,
behold the contest with eager eApecta-
ton.
Surprising as it may seem, the Demo-
cratic party had been prevailed upon to
adopt some Of the original Hamitonian
doctrines. The error could not be perma-
heht' 1t Is twelve years since Gen. Jack
son aimed the fatal blow at the whole svs-
tenn OF federal policy,-the American sys-
TEN, and National Rank We orc
scarcely yet free from the siren influence.
The last nail is yet to be driven. The
present contest successfully met, and a
triumph is secured. The country is fast
recovering from the effects of the last con-
vulsion, and healthy business begins to
bear testimony to the wisdom of the admi
nistration. The standard of value is well
nigh restored, and prices begin to assume
proper relation. Solvent banks begin to
feel more at ease, the honest to aid, the
dishonest to embarrass the business of the
country. With the reelection of Martin
Van Buren,, the democratic policy will be
established on the firm basis of success,
and the permanent prosperity of the nation
secured. BY the operation of the indie
pendent Treasury large specie basis will
be kept in the country, and banking held
in salutary check. The influence of this
great measure is just beginning to be felt
and appreciated. The opposition dread
it. Now is their last hope. 1t will be
beyond their power to create another pa
mic. The success of the Democracy will
be lasting triumph.

To Old COuntryriren.

Fsilo,r Counirymn, We are on the eve Of
political contest in which our public and private
interests are deeply, nay, vitality concerned. You
are aware, from past experience, that 1t is only by
union, pure and inseparable union, untarnished
by the noxious breath of party feeling, that we
can establish for ourselves a character and stand
ing in society, and enjoy with American citizens
those equal rights and privileges, which are qua
rantced to us by that glorious Constitution, the
provisions of which are based OH the purest prin-
ciples of Democracy.
What brought ruin and destruction on that
sea-circled isle where we first drew our BREATH but
traitors advice to Henry II. of Enslad, 'to d.
vide and conquer;" for if attacked while united
we would be found invincible Let us in turn
now, benefit by that advice, and never commit an
action that principle could not sanction and union
justify. With feelings Of indignation mingled
with surprise, have heard Of another neryesss
effort of cnvenomed whiggcry, by which those De-
based, designing, andunprinciplcd minions of tint
Orange aristoc racy have endeayoured to crca,ea

The bloodhound IIuinbng Exploded.

After all the Infamous assaults by the
"peace party" upon the administration
in reference to the employment of blood
hounds for the extirpa,ion of the Seminole,
the whole matter is fairly exploded, proved
false, so far as the administration is con-
cerned. Gen. Call, in speech to the
wings night before last, openly asserted
"that he himself was the originator of the
scheme-that he bought and paid for the
hounds-and that The fault he found riM
the Secretary Of Uar cas, that he order
cd them MuzzLED." And yet this man is
taken by the hand and caressed and cajol-
ed by the very men who have denounced
the administration as devoid of humanity
and justice and have attempted to style
themselves terier hearted "disciples of
peace - Away with such cant, hypocri-
sy ond humbug-such insults to the UNI
derstandings of men.
Why did not the wing press of the city
mingle with their eulogiums something
condemnatory of the inhumanity of Gov.
Call ! What has become. all of sudden,
of their sympathy with the prosecuted
savage! And where is the Justice
where is the consistency, of denouncing
the administration for an act, when they
hug the author, originator and grand fac
totum to their bosoms! Alas, for the mi
SCRABBLE, pitiful, dwelling shifts of this
profigate faction. 1t is without honor,
without principle, and without truth, or
even respect for decency in appearance,
and yet it expects to deceive the Ameri-
can people with its shallow devices. They
will not avail.-PhH. Sp. ofthe Times.

The Great Western arrived at New York On
the 2nh ult., after passage Of Is days. She
brings news from England UP 10 the 18th uIt.
~ ,,-......,. $50 r...ta.- Tho III feeling be-
tween England and France is still on the increase,
and several causes have occurred to heighten tito
such degree as to threaten the speedy approach
of war.
France seems determined to sustain the Pasha
of Egypt in minimizing possession of Syria in
opposition to the sultan of Turkey while, on the
other band, the four powers have decided that Sy
ria shall! he restored to the Porto. A demand to
that cllfc, was formally made upon the Pasha, by
Commod re Napier, in command of portion Of
the British fleet in the Mediterranean, but was re-
sisted, and, in consequence, he made reprisas on
several trading vessels belonging to the PasAa,
and war cutter, a steam frigae, and a brig load
ed with ammunition and muskcta. This greatly
inceascd the pasha, and he is making great pre-
parations for war by Quitting ships and erecting
forts along the lines of coast. This news created
considerable sir at London, and iundsare fail
! ing with alarming celebrity.
INsyRREcTIoy IN PARIs.-On the 9Th AMI 7th
ut very serious riotous movement occurred in
Paris, which has, however, been partially sup
pressed. Symptoms of revolt were perceptibe

The Crisis.

A crisis of unusual importance is at
hand, and the contest is urged with reso-
luton by the Democracy, but, by the OPP
position, with an enthusiasm amounting
almost to fury, and with confidence as
blind as fanaticism itself. A hungry crew
of expectants await a general sweep OF all
the Offices of the government, and lick
their jaws in greedy anticipation. A
swarm of selfish and visionary dreamers
are looking with intense anxiety for ano-
Their opportunity to put their fancy-born
schemes in train, that they may again set
all property adrifl upon sea of Unstable
credit, lash the waves into fury by artiil-
cial winds, launch their crazy craft upon
the troubled tide, pick up a cargo in the
general whirl Of things, and, at last, es-
cape into port by the aid Of some random
breeze, while thousands of honest sailors
and seaworthy vessels, too long upon the
voyage, must perish in the unexpected DIS
aster. A legion Of deiunct banks are wait
ing the magic trump Of confidence, that is
to convert paper into money as water was
changed into wine. Pride, pulled up with
aristocratic superiority, already begins IL
spread his gaudy tail, and strut with state
ly step among the common herd OF locofo
cos. And ribbed-nosed federalism, sullel
