EASTMAN AND LYON.

We publish in another column, the proceed.
ings Of the Pittsburgh Tippecanoe. Club in ref
erence to an outrage upon the person Of Mr..
Eastman, editor of the Clinton County Wing on
board the steamer WHITEHALL on the 18th ult.
We happened to be on board the boat at tho
time, and witness Of part Of the transaction
complained of In justice to Mr.. Eastman aud
the public, we can do no less than to say, that,
in our estimation, the censure of the Club 10
rghtcously bestowed Mr.. Eastman, (who was
stranger on the boatD was assaulted in the
first instance, by ruifian who went on board
expressly for the purpose, armed with raw
hide, and accompanied by two aids, armed with
pistols, as We are credbly inforn.ed. This al
tack, to say the least, was winked at by Capt
Lyon, and when Mr.. Eastman attempted to re-
dress his own wrongs by applying his cane to
the sconce of the scoundrel who attacked him,
he was instantly put under guard in the gang
way, while Palmer, the original assailant was
permitted to go at liberty. And afterwards,
when Mr. Eastman attempted TO explain tho
facts to the Capt. he was peremtorily ordered to
hold his tongue-subsequentl ordered to leava
the boat, although he had paid his fare to Whto-
hal-and afterwards rudely seized by tho collar
by Capt. J.. and thrust some twenty or thirty
feet toward the gangway. The latter part Of
this scene we witnessed and we believe oursolf
correctly informed as to the rest We attempt
not here to divine the motive for this strange
procedure. But we must say, we were greatly
surprised to witness it-more especially, coming
as it did, from one who had heretofore shared ~
largely in our respect.
This attack upon Mr. Eastman, had its foun.
dation in political hatred. The Wing is bold
and fearless champion Of the peoples cause.
and the ability with which it has sustained itself,
has rendered it far more convenient for locofoco.
ism to shower personal abuse upon s editor,
than to meet its facts or answer its arguments
The truth is, the Office -holders, generally, arc
becoming desperate, and this attack upon East
man was prompted by the same spirit of jespcr-
alton that induced Van Ness practically to take
possession of the Winooshi on the llth. II
Capt. Lyon chooses to make himself the ehap,-
pon or tacit apologist, of these dcspcradoe., Let
him not complain that he is plainly dealt With
The Wings of Plattsburgh but do themselves,
their cause, and Mr. Eastman justice, in taking
this decided stand.

A SMALL, MISTAKE,

We have neither time nor room, nor even in
clnaton, to handle with that severity which
they invite, the three or four columns of point
no point atfidavts in the Sentinel, Its sufficient
for us to make out our case, and defend our
friends who have been wantonly vlllihed in this
matter. There is one Of these afiidavits how
ever, which is so exceedingly strange, we cannot
pass it over. We allude to the statement of Mr.
Lyman, who testities to nothing material in the
case, but seems to have been called upon to
groan for the benefit OF his associates, We
quote the passage entire.

agreed that the boat should start from the wharf at
or near the usual time 10 Wit haipas, seven o clock,
A. VI. went on board IN great haste few minutes
after half past scNen with the expectation that she
would Immediately leave the wharf: She was detan-
cd nearly quite an hour after the usual time, At
the time knew no cause for the delay, am now
satisfied il was solely for the nccommodaton of the
wigs, who Understanding on board the steam boats
and sloops then in the harbor. had not the least
idea expectation at this period that the lNnooski
would be asked 10 tow. After we started as sup
posed for Pattsbursh, the boat was apparently in the
act of rounding about to return 10 the wharf; en-
qulrod the reason and was told that were to take
the steam boats and soops III tow. was greatly sur

WlLI.lS LYMAN.
Now we ask the reader to turn to that part OF
the affidavit of Capt. Phillips, touching this point,
nwhchhe states that at the specici instance Of Mr.
Bradley he delayed his boat for tho sole accom-
mediation of Messrs. Van Ness and Lyman, and
that the moment they were on board, Ae put off
which was only about twenty minutes past the
usual time In addition to this, let him READ
the following statement, by the engineer and
pilot; which fully corroborates that OF Captain
Phillips,
We, r. Il. Proctor, Pilot, and Latham Jones, cnpl
necr, of the Steam Boat WmooskL being sworn, dc

Mr. Van Ness was the original instigator OF
on the part of Judge Follett was altogether an
aitcrthought, got up TO appease the Indignation
of the Spanish Minister, when he, for the first
time probably, learned that they we're under con-
tract tow Bear in mind, that this claim of a
waiver was never lsped by mortal man up to
the time the boat left the wharf--obscrve that
Mr.. Bradley himself made the enquiry of Capt.
Phillips early in the morning. whether he in
tended to tow, and was informed distinctly that
he nhould--to which Mr.. Bradley lisped no OBJ
lection, nor even intimated any other understand
ing! Observe, also, that when Haswell first
preached the matter TO Capt. Phillips, he had
not learnt his story, and cited Mr.. Doolittle as
authority for the waiver, but who, it seems was
not then in town, nor had he been for ten days
previous; Add to this the unqualified denial
of Judge Follett--and, we say, it all clearly and
irresistably leads to one conclusion: Mr.. Van
Ness went on board the boat that morning, ex-
ceedingly out of temper, and when he learned
that they were under obligation to tow, probably
abused the locofoco agents for making such a
contract Toappease the wrath of their master
they might have apoogsed by saying they did
not expect to be called upon to do it; and this
Mr.. Van Ness doubtless seized upon as pre-
tert, and proceeded to the preparation of the
outrage we have detailed Mr.. Van Ness has
declared in presence of numerous witnesses,
that what he did on that occasion, was on the
authority of John Bradley, the same individual,
who, (if we are to regard him as an honorable
man, OH the morning of the 18th virtually dis
claimed any such Interpretation of the contract
as that now set up. But having committed
themselves in this matter, these individuals dare
not now back out, and are hence endeayorinr to
sustain Van Ness in this high-handed vilany,
by swearing down such men as Judge Follett
Capt Phillips, and others. We caution some
of these gentlemen against putting their vera.
| city to too severe test.
Here we dismiss the subject for the present
with the remark, that looking at Mr.. Van Ness
with reference to the offices he has held and his
former standing in society, it is painful to be
compelled thus to exhibit him before world
But regarding him in the light these facts shew
him to all intents and purposes a desperate
regardless of the rights of his fellow citizens
splitting his venom and venting his spleen upol
| all who will not fall down before him-we sa,
in this view Of the subject, it is matter of salts
| faction that we are thus enabled to pin him (,

MILITARY.

The 9;h Regiment of Vermont Militia, under
Col. Thomas, mustered, at this place on Sa,ur-
day last, and was reviewed by Cen Smith. The
appearance OF the regiment is much improved
within year or two. Indeed, we have never
seen it appear as well. The presence OF several
independent companies in uniform, added mach
to the display, and served to illustrate what cit.
lzcn soldiers might do. The Burlington Light
Infantry, is very fine company, composed priu.
cipaiy Of young men neatly uniformed; aud
the promptness and regularity with which they
performed the several eyolu,ons and exercises
OF the occasion, speaks well of their advance
ment in military discipline. The independent
company from Milton acquitted itself extreme
~ well, and Is entitled to especial note. Also.
the Rife Company, from Wcstford, though
rather small in numbers, did itself great credit
and manifested a thogou-hness ofdscipline, eel
dom witnessed among Our militia. In this re-
spect we think they rather bore the palm. Tho
regiment generally. was better equipped than
usual. and we think no one can mistake the cvi.
dences OF Improvement resulting from the new
militia law, and the untiring and praiseworth Y
efforts ofCo!. Thomas and his associates in car.
ryng it into effect. Most of the uniforms are
new-of surprising neatness-and the officers
generally field and staff, have never, within our
knowledge, appeared to equal advantage in this
respect. Upon the whole the review was highly
satisfactory and must demonstrate to every
candid mind, that with such militia, we need
no standing army of two hundred thousand

GEN, SCOTT.

This distinguished individual arrived in town
on Thursday evening Con his way to Maine, and
remained till one o'clock, on Friday. On Fri
day morning, which was very fine one, he took
an excursion about the town and its envrons-
visiting the Battery, the tomb of Allen, the Col.
legc, &C. &C. and it is needless to say how
highly delig,ed he expressed himself. At ten
he met large number of citizens, without dis
lnctlon OF party, at the mansion of c. Adams,
Esq Where he was introduced, and exchanged
clyllItles in frank informal way which certain.
Iy did not fail to leave the most favorable i'm.
preston on all parties. Gen. Scott is about fifty
tour years OF age, six feet six in height we'll
proportloned, and although he bears upon hi.
countenance the marks of 'Some service" vet is
he erect and active as most men ofthirty, and in
his personal appearance, certainly one Of the
most commanding men we ever set ewes upon.
A republican at heart-frank and unassumnr in
his department, and uniting with unrivaled
military talents highly cultivated mind, it is
not to us surprising that Gen. Scott has won the
hearts OF so many OF his countrymen. The in
terN'ew' was altogether pleasant atair--higL,
~ gratifying to our townsmen, and which we are
quite sure was no less cordially appreciated by
the gallant General himself.
We cannot but express our thanks to Mr..
Adams and family for their hospitable attention
in this matter, Ii was all ir.l right-nei,her
too much nor too little-and sure we arc, that no
one could have done the occasion better Justice
These little acts of hospitality are in themselves
small matters; and yet in their effects upon
the character of places, upon individuals, and
the social interests of community they are by
no means unmportant. In an apartment adjoin-
ing the audience room, Mrs. a. had spread \
hasty table of refreshments, bountully adorned
with the fruits of the rine-wbleh being alluded
to, guest remarked, that nothing could be
more appropriate than to spread our choicest
grapes for one who had dealt his grape SO freely.
