II could not be known TO me, before he

what views be wishes 10 communicate
The distinct ideas 10 be gathered from his
great number of words are very few. Nv
own opinion is, that the Telegraph can be
more probably occupied, than with his com

generous efforts in the cause Of Justice and reform.

we look to the condition Of our own country the
necessity of reform is every where seen. No trial

of the measure of the ADMINISTRATION by their re-

in the general distrcssthe feeble and proracted Flor

GENERAL HARRISON's FATHER

1t is not we believe generally known that BENJAMIN
HARRISON the father Of General Harrison, was chair
man of the committee of the whole Congress of l776
during the period when the resolutions on nlcpen-
dence were under consideration. Such was the fact
however, as may be seen by reference to the journals
of Congress for that year. where, among other reso-
lutions relating to the same subject, may be found the
following
THURSDAY July 4, l776.
agreeable to the order of the day the Congress
resolved itself into Committee of the whole, to take
into their further consideration the declaration and
after time the President resumed the Chair,
and Mr.. Harrison reported that the committee have
agreed to declaration, which they desired him to
report"
Where upon the DEGRADATION OF INDEPENDENCE
was read
We see therefore, that General Harrison in his late
speech at Dayton does not exaggerac, when he SAYS
that he mbided the first principles of republicanisnl
from his father. For that father was not only one of
the most ardent Wings in his native state but was
one of the most conspicuous and prominent men in
in the whole country in preparing the way for the
final declaration ofindependence.
And further. When the Constitution of the United
States under debate in the Virginia Convention
Mr.. Harrison ranged himself with Henry, Grayson,
and George Mason, the side of the States and in
opposition to too powerful Executive and then and
there became Of the first leaders in what was
STYLED the antfederal party, afterwards known as
the republican party and under whose auspices Mr.
Jefferson trumphed over the federalists in lS0l.-
We makS these remarks at this time 10 prove that
General Harrison comes ofa good democratic stock
whatever his enemies may say TO the contrary not
withstanding.

Rarely have we noticed such violation Of the rights

Itappears that Van Buren, Convention was holden
at Patsburgh ~ V. on the same day with the great
Wing Convention AT kccse,ile, the 18th of Srptem-
Der. Some time previous 10 the lth, the Wings en-
gagged the Steamboat Wlnooski Capt Phil ps To con-
vcy them TO keeseville on that occasion Subsc-
qncny, the Plattsburgh affair was got up, and app-
cation was made TO Director OF the Company Who
was ignorant of the previous transaction, and the
Boat engaged The Wings, experimenting difficulty.
generously consented TO give up thcr clam on the Boat
1t some other safe conveyance We're provided. II was
accordingly arranged that thu Wings should have the
McDonough, an old waer-og' d boat, and two sloops
Ii the wind was right these could managed without
much dltiiculty; but lest the wind and waves might
combine against then II was further stipulated nv the
Directors that were 1t required, the Wnooski should
take them IN tow: and written contract was made
TO that effect, copy of which was given to Capt.
Phillips with instructions to sec it faithfully executed
When the day the meeting arrived the yerv contingent
cy provided for had arisen Accordingly, one of the
Directors gave notice 10 Capt Phillips that he would
be required to TO take the vessels in tow, When the
two parties had got on board, Capt p moved on,
from the wharf, and was preparing 10 throw his lines
on board the other boats, when y. b. IIaswe one
parties to the above agreement, stepped forward and
forbade hun, denying the existence of any such agree
ment. Capt. Phillips paid no attention to this, but
Mr.. Van Ness paraded his DULLES and gave them
dcrs TO prevent by force any attempt TO hitch 10 the
other vessels and, SAID he If Capt. Phillips persists
iriU ldHc command 81 the boat MYSELF.
Then turning TO the Captain, with the most violent
and mcnaclng lmprecatlons, he repeated the threat,
and in reply 10 the nlmaton of Capt. p. that his
hands would not permit the boat 10 be wresred from
HIM by violence, Mr. Van Ness replied, THAT he had
men enough on board to take possession Of the boat
in defiance Of the crew, and run it to Pittsburgh and
If they attempted TO hitch to the sloops HE WOULD DO
It'll Finally, Capt p, seeing that Mr.. Van Ness
was determined TO execute his threats, desstcd and
left the sloops to bul,t the Withstand waves unaded
Thus c. p. Van Ness, who has received the hghcs,
