MORE TESTIMONY.

A writer who reports the proceedings
of great meeting Of the Democracy in
Warren county, Ohio, states to the Edit
or Of the Ohio Statesman, that
"John Osborn, one Ofthe first inhabit-
ants of the State, then stated to the meet
ing, (and a man whom Whigery dare not
contradict,) that he saw Gen. Harrison
wear the badge of black cOckGde Feder-
Glism, and knew him to be supporter
of the elder Adams gag law, and in this
he was confirmed by the president, (Som-
ueI CaltoelI,) who stated that he saw him
wear it himself, while he was resident
of Hamilton county, near forty years
ago.
The informant of the Statesman says
the declarations made by these respecta-
BILE individuals to the assembled people,
will be verified by their afidavits.

WHIG FEDERALISM AND BRITISH
MONARCHY.

We last week published extracts to
prove that many Of the leading federal
wings preferred a monarchy to our repub-
lican government. That they are assisted
in their designs by foreigners, we have no
doubt. Let those who doubt, read the
following extract from a letter written by
gentleman in London to a correspond
ent in New York. The letter was pub
lished in the N. Y. New Era, and, we un-
derstand, its authenticity is undisputed.
"Our papers here openly declare that
1T is NECESSARY FOR THE HEAL
THY MAINTENANCE OF OUR
EQUILIBRIUM AND A PERPLNU-
ALTON OF THE MONARCHY, THAT
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF
AMERICA SHOULD BE PUT DOWN;
and though | take no part in these ques-
tions, yet am inclined to the same opin-
ion."
The reason assigned for this opposi-
ton of foreign monarchists to the present
Administration, is, that if the Independ-
ent Treasury bill be continued in opera
ton, it will render us less tributary to En-
glish fnanciers and money lenders. Thus
it is that the money power, which snakes
kings its playthings, and sports with the
detinieS of nations,"is now aiming blow
at our free institutions, that will prove
most disastrous, if it be not sternly and
promptly avorted by its intended victims.

HARRISON'S FEDERALISM.

The whig papers publish the appoint
ments ofHarrison by Jefferson and Wash
lngton to prove their certificate hero to
be a democrat. These facts do not prove
that Harrison was not a federalist. JEFF
terson was not so proscriptive as TO re-
fuse to appoint political opponent to
the Office of Governor of the Territory
OF Indiana, after the Legislative council
had recommended his re- e-appoinlment.-
Neither do the appointments bv Wash
ington disproVe the charge Of federalism.
Harrison was then boy, and Washing
ton would have made such military ap-
pointments even had the case been DIFF
ferent, and had they been ever SO much
opposed to each other in politics. We

REORGANIZATION OF THE MILITIA.

REL E-ORGANIZATION OF THE MILITIA.
1t is proper to remind our readers, that
at the commencement of the last session
of Congress, the Secretary of War sug-
gested 10 Congress that the Militia Of
the United States ought TO be divided
into classes, the younger class to be more
thoroughly drilled than at present; and
the older classes relieved from muster
ing altogether. He did not go into de.
tail; he gave no plan or scheme, by which
this system was to be carried out; in
fact, he said but few words on the sub
ject. 1t was in allusion to this sugges-
tion, that Mr., Van Buren, said, in his
message, he could not too strongly rec
ommend the plan to the consideration of
Congress. In doing SO, he followed in
the footsteps of Washington, Jefferson,
Madison, Monroe and Jackson; all of
whom had recommended such q classiti-
cation. Their reason for doing so is OBJ
vious. The present system is little bet
ter than a farce. What do men learn
under it, that would qualify them TO de-
fend their country against foreign ene-
my? Nothing. Some change then is
necessary; and as all military men de-
spair of effectualIy drilling all the militia
of the Union; they have unanimously
agreed that part shall be drilled; and
the remainder relieved from the burden
and expense of mastering. This is
Gen. Harrison's plan as presented to
Congress in report aud bill, at three
successive sessions of Congress, in 1917,
'lS and'l0. Yet his supporters are now
brawIing against Mr.. Van Buren, and Mr.
Poinsett, from one end Of the country to
the other, for recommending the same
thing, QUereS As Gen, Harrison neu-
er changes, and as we are referred to his
former acts and declarations, fOrhis pre-.
sent opinions; is he not tstill in favor Ofthis
plan whilst all his friends are denouncing
III Will his Committee answers
Some have objected to the expense Of
paying the 100000 men who would be
drilled annually; for, it is one, and not
two hundred thousand, who are 10 mus
ter certain number Of days, yearly, for
four years; and then 10 fall back into the
RcserUe Of 100000 men for another four
years; after which they are discharged
entirely, except in time of war. The ex-
pense is estimated by the Secretary of
War at $4,000 yearly. We have about
two millions of militia men IN the United
States; all Of whom are required to mus
ter two days in ach year; and many Of
them, who belong to independent compa.
MES, muster aS often as four, FIVE or six
days each year. Let any man estimate
the cost Of this mastering, on the present
plan, to the people of the Union, for eaeh
and every year. Count the time lost by
each man; count the money exPendeCAby
each man; consider the'time and expense
Ofofficer musters; include, also, the courts
Of inquiry and courts Of appeal held BY
the officers for tho assessment Of Gnes;

Misrepresentation Exposed.

Since the system of State Banking
has SO completely exploded, and so pal
pably demonstrated in the eyes of all
men that 1t will not answer the purposes
of democratic finance, or furnish the
people with a sound currency, the Van
Buren, men turn their backs upon it and
put all truth and candor to the blush by
declaring that State Banking never was
a favorite scheme of theirs; but that the
wings are the authors of all the banks
and therefore responsible for all the
evils which have grown out of the i'm
mense overflow of banking which has
spread over half the Union. Let US see
Tor moment what degree of truth
there is in this assertion.
In the first place, we challenge any
man or any press to deny that until with
IN the last one or two years there was
not Van Buren, press or a prominent
Van Buren, man who opposed the system
of banking or the plan Of State Bank
ing. Two years ago and previous, the
contest between the wings and federal
lists upon the subject of banking was
mainly thIs;-the former opposed the.
plan of State Banking upon the ground
that It would derange the exchanges and
c
overflow the land with deprecated bank
paper, and that National Bank was ne
cessary to the health of both exchanges
and currency. While the latter main
tanned that State Banks were all sufficient
they could keep the exchanges regular
and maintain soundness in their issues.
"a National Bank was unnecessary to
check over issues by State Banks because
they would operate as a check upon
each other. No opposition 10 banking
was thought of or advanced BY any one
These things are notorious and cannot
be denied.
But since the State Bank System has
SO miserably failed, we look back Two or
three years and who do we discover as
the authors of the banks which have SO
lately sprung up in many parts Of The
Unionf We see that Michigan, whist,
has been more bank ridden than any
State IN the Union, except Mississippi,

The Coalition.

Since the Ill-starred coalition of Lord
North and Charles James Fox. there has
been no event of the kind better calcula-
ted to excite feelings of the bitterest
scorn and contempt, than the late person
al reconciliation between Mr.. Calhoun
and Mr.. Van Buren,, and the cordial sup
por of the iatter's administration by the
retainers of the former. For more than
ten years, Mr. Caloun's feelings, it is well
known, have been of the bitterest kind
towards Mr Van Buren,. They have
been, again and again, expressed without
effort AT concealment, and in no measur-
ed terms. There has been no personal
intercourse between them. since Mr. Van
Buren, screwed him out of the confidence
of their common chief Gen. Jackson
Even when Mr. Van Buren, recomme nded
the Sub-Treasury, and Mr. Calhoun sur
prIsed every one by coming out in its ia
vor, on the ground that il was his thun-
der, he took more than one occasion TO
let it be known that, although meeting
therlaPen aS common platform, his
views OF the character of the Executive
had undergone no change. But there
has been now a cordial reconciliation-
aud the world has never yet seen a sud
den change of position of the kind, which
has not been followed by at least suppc
sed personal advantage to those making
the summerset.
so far as the interests of the Wing
party are concerned, we certainly do not
regret the coalition. 1t must work for
their good But we do regret it, as cal
culated to shake popular confidence in
the existence of patriotism and virtue of
