OLD SOLDIERS.

General Harrison is the author Of the act
of Congress giving pensions to the soldiers
of the Revolutions, and was then q United
States Senator, and chairman of the com
mittee on Military Affairs. He was indie.
.0tigab!e in advancing his bill, 'aliowing
pensions without regard to the property OF
the soldier"
Let US, for a moment, turn to Martin
Van Buren,, and see what he has done for
those brave men who shed their blood and
expended their fortunes IN the glorious
cause of independence.
On the 18th Of August, 1921, a conyen-
ton met at Albany, in the State of \. y.
to prepare anew Constitution for that State.
Mr.. Van Buren, was member of the
convention, from the county of OtSego. In
the course Of their proceedings, the consid-
Grafton of the right of suffrage came before
the convention. Mr.. Van Buren, address
cd the convention, and introduced argu.
ments ''to prove that taxation was the true
basis of representation, and that all those
who did not pay taxes, should be excluded
from voting" Mr. Russell opposed the
proposition and said: sit would distran-
chise many who ought to vote. lie recol-
lected Revolutionary soldier IN his town,
who was at the seige Of Quebec, and ano-
Their who was at the storming of Stony
Point, and neither would have a vote, If this
motion prevailed"
Mr.. Van Buren,, in reply, said, "Few OF
those patriots are now living, and of that
few the number is daily diminishing. In
fifteen years, the grave will have covered
all those who now survive. Was it not
then unwise to hazard wholesome provis-
ion, lest in its operation it might affect those
few individuals for very short time" [See
Journal of Convention, pages, 275, 276
277.]
Such is the language of Martin Van Blu
ren-a man who asks the su.lrages of the
independent yeomanry OF Ohio. Is there
the son Of a Revolutionary sire, whose bo
som will not swell with Indignation, anc
spurn this man, for his cold-booded proscrp
ton OF the Fathers Of our Freedom?

THE OLD SOLDIERS MEETING.

Every day we hear Of some mighty gath
erings of the people in favor of the gallant
Harrison. The hard cider, log cabin boys
come in thousands to Join in the general
hurrah; and old soldiers who have fought
our battles and who have met the roar Of
EngIand's artillery, are indignant and in
suited when they hear ISLANDERS propagated
upon the fair fame of their old General, who
has done so much to add to the glorious his
tory of our country.
A meeting of the surviving soldiers Of the
revolution and those who fought under
Gen. Harrison during the last war, took
place on the 18th inst. at Washington, Ma
son county, Kentucky. The editor of the
Cincinnati Gazette, who was present, says:
''Of the old veterans of the revolution, there
were but a small, though precious, band
present. OF those who fought and bled
under the brave Hero of Tppecanoe, Fort
Nleigs and the Thames,' there was goodly
number; and of those who came from the
surrounding country to look, perhaps for
the last time, on these fathers of the Re-
pubIic,' there was Il number far exceeding
any former gathering in old Kentucky, and
was second only to the great Ohio Conven.

multitude was entirely out of the question
We did make the attempt at one time
when two professions (of probably mile

one from NIaysvle, and the other from

brilliant and most talented sons,--and by
Richard Douglass, Esq, of Ohio.

people that the vote of ''Old Kentuck'

fact, the assembled thousands OF the homes

G~g- IN letter to Gen. LAFAYETTE, to be
found in the 4lh volume OF Jetierson's NJ
moIrs, page 1871, Mr.. Jefferson says:
son the eclipse of Federalism with US,
although not its extinction, its leaders got
up the Missouri Question, under the false
front Of Iessening the measure Of slavery,
but with real view OF producing Geo.
graphical division Of parties, which might
insure them the next President. This mo-
mentous question. like frebel in TIE night,
awakened and filled me with terror cou-
sidored it at once as the knell OF the
Union"
Now, will the Enquirer deny that Van
Buren, was 4 missouri strictIonist'--
that he voted in the New York Senate fora
resolution expressive Of the sense OF that
body against the admission of Missouri.
and that he wrote a pamphlet in favor OF
Rufus Kings election to the United States
Senate, man who was we'll known to be
opposed to the administration of that State 7
On the contrary, Gen. Harrison voted for
its admission, and was turned out OF Con.
gress, for that very vote. According to
Mr.. JeticrsOn's definition of parties then
Van Bnren was tederaiSL and Gen. Har-
rlson a democrat--and SO he was.

FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.

During the administration of Mr.. Adams
(Which was "scolded'' for its extra vagance)
the average expenses for each year were
less than twelve millions and a half of dol
lars. The average expenses of the gre
trenching" administration which succeeded
that OF Adams, was about eighteen millions
of dollars. And now, the average yearly
expense of the retrenching and reforming
administration of Martin Van Buren,,
amounts to more than Thirty Seven Mil
fers~Qf Dollars! Is this the sort of reform
that The country expected, when the pres
ent administration was placed in power? 1t
may be*ery pleasant and agreeable to the
ofiice-holders, who live upon the fairness
thus drawn from the public treasury. But
is it saHsfS1 10y to the people who bear the
burdens? Ifnot, there is but one remedy;
but happily, that remedy is simple and easy.
1t is to withdraw power from a cold and
cunning politician, that has abused it, and
coniide it in one who never yet abused a
trust, or was found unequal to the WORK be.
fore him. If the people would be faithfully
served, in this their day of trouble and diff
one of themselves. Let them dismiss from
their employ the "dandy of the White
House," who sports an English coach anc
foreign out-riders, and who is so deeply
! pledged to the interests Of the office-hoId
ers; and let them engage the services o
the inmate of the Log Cabin at NORTH
Bend. In such a change, whether We
judge it by the facts of the past, or the
prospects for the future, there can be
NO MISTAKE.

Resolved, That we have the utmost CON

Of GEN. HARRlsoN; and that his devotion to
Western interests, and his stainless public

REASONS WHY GEN. HARRISON
WILL BE ELECTED.

FIRST, because he is an honest man, and
a true friend to his country. SECONDLY, he
has the entire confidence of the FREE and
intelligent PEOPLE, THRIFTY. because the
CHAINS OF Democracy, are rent assunder.--.
FouRrnLY. the people are no longer to be
guIed with freedom in tue abstract, but in
SYST upon enjoying it in its primative sense,
and to do this, they find that the election OF
Gen. Harrison. will be commensurate with
their wishes free and noble souls may lor
a time, be duped by the false glitter Of
things around them, but they cannot long
remain SO, the truth of which, will be
proven, at the next Presidential election.

has gained immensely. The elections in

publican Of the 10 ut. says:
SIN yesterdays paper, we noticed num-
Der of counties where the Harrison ticket
had succeeded, and in almost every instance,
by increased majorities. To-day, we make
addition of some other counties where the
cause of reform is going bravely on.
"The Harrison ticket has triumphed in
Trumbull, Geauga, Medina and Summit, and
Lake; the last, a county, made at the late
session of the Legislature, has given a Har-
rlson majority Of 999. In Lorain, also, the

done the thing nobly. With such glorious
