A QUESTION ANSWERED.

The Swings" have pretended that Har-
rison's merits are now undervalned by his
opponents, while in former days they were
duly appreciated. They have ~triumphantly
asked, " What was said at that timer
Abiding to the period when they say Har.
rison was in his glory. The following from
the Philadelphia Freeman's Journal OF No
vember 10, 1911, will answer the question of
the Whiggery about "what was said at the
time"
"The news by yesterdays mail is not of
the most pleasing character. The army I'm.
der Gen. Harrison has been surprised and
butchered by the Indians. Why uere then
surprised? Because their commander wan
ted fnresight-The first requisite for a Gener-
nj. He could write childish letters to Gov
ernor Scott, and he built a fort! Yea, with
an army of95O men, he suffered that army
TO be surprised in their shirt tails, in sight of
the prophets town, and butchered by three
or four hundred Indians, headed by the very
same Indian to whom Gov. Harrison declar-
de, in one Of his ~letersto my dear Gov. Scott,
he would snow give an opportunity of prov
ing whether he was as good a warrior as he
pretended to be a saint"

before us that we have ever had, and although
we may think we are safe, yet I tell you it

world has turned wing and have often thought
before, but some how or other these dem,

day, nobody can tell where they come from
They will lick us again if we don't look out

the Boston Atlas has claimed, aud the VT. Watch

Neither the Atlas nor Waterman has ever claim

But which party has the majority? We wish the

Such is the language of the federnI adminisra-

it, that the people may see the spirit of torysm
exemplifed by the miscaed democrats ofthis day
spirit which respects not one who has spent more
years in faithful public service than any American
living; one who has honorably maintained the
best interests Of the republic in the Senate and in
the field; one who has served as patriot serves
for the glory and the good ofhs countrymen, and
not like The greedy, ciecpng, cringing, Swiss like
parrzan, for the "spoils OF office !" one, whose
pnlrlotism has been tried, whose wisdom has been
Proved and whose public and private character is
without stain. And TO whom do The wholesale
revliers OF HARRISON give their support? Is il
one who ever lifted finger against the enemies Of
his county? No,-his valor is but that of the par.
Tor and the drawing-room. is il one who has ev.
er devised and carried out any great plan for the
good of his country? No. he has been but the
mere cleaner in other mems tracks and has be-
come 10 he what he is by the force of cunning and
OF circumstances. How well, then. does it become
the supporters of Van Buren, to endeavor to be-
little HARRISON: they would, if they could bring
the latter down from his proud height to the eve
