Progress Of BIumbuggcry.

II is really amusing to witness the enthusiasm
Of the hard cider and log cabin" party. All
their transactions are perfectly consistent with the
leaders of that party. Residing as they do, in
large cities and crowded communities under arti-
fetal systems, they are perfectly ignorant of hu-
man nature, and suppose that the mass of the
people are silly enough to be led at their will and
pleasure. To subsan,iate this, we need but re-
fer 10 their mode of elcctioncering.
In order, as they suppose, to induce the dwcllers
of the log cabin to go for their candidate, they
must express some sympathy for them, and they
Immediately commence the manufacture of "Log
Cabin gold-pate buttons" and then to please the
common people, they in their supcrabundance
OF magnanimty," manufacture for them "Tip-
pccanoe silk pocket handkerchief" and then to
still please the people more, they make clog
Cabin Snun-Boxcs" which the editor of the Ma
honal Gazette says, "are elegantly haned and
polshed, Of ahigh finish, 'cih SILVER plate
upon Tie hd. What an article to adorn the GEN.
tire table of log cabin! And then we have the
"log Cabin Champagne" Log Cabin letter
paper, with gilt edges" Log Cabin GOLDEN
breast PIN" -and "Hard Cider Soda Water"
and we expect before the farce is ended, we will
see some of our dandies with "LOG CABIN
RUFFLE SHIRTS" and LOG CABIN SILK
STOCKINGS"
When we take into consideration the ingrcdi-
cns of which the opposition party is composed,
this enthusiasm is not to be wondered at. Being
destitute of principle, and entirely regardless of
every other consideration save avcrce and political
distinction, they are silly enough to suppose that
they can defeat the Democratic party by appeal
ing to the passions of the people instead of their
sober senses, But they will find themselves much
mistaken. They will find next November, that
the irccmen Of Illinois, many of whom reside in
clog Cabins" are not to be deceived and trifed
with in this manner, and that all their preienS0ns
will he attributed to the proper source, which a.
mounts to nothing less than CONTEMPT FOR
THE PEOPLE.

neutrality-suspicious. Money !

There is in circulation certain spurious
paper which IS calculated to deceive the
public from the similarity of their names
with real institutions one description of
bank note is called the Exchange Bank,
of New York. There is no such institu-
ton in cxistence--thcre is, however, the
"Amcrican Exchange Bank" and the
"Merchants' Exchange Bank" both good
institutions.
The other paper which would caution
the public against receiving, is the "North
River Banking Company, Of New York. y
They are in reality Postnotes, and signed
by Schcrmerhorn, President. It's known
to the writer, that these notes are issued
without any charter, either specially, or
under the General Banking Laws of New
York; and that they are worth no more

Questions for the Wings.

Did not General HARRISON vote for
old JOHN ADAMS in preference to
THOMAS JEFFERSON
Did he not accept office under that
.AHen and SeditiOn La,c Administers
ton!
Did he not oppose ANDREW JACK
SON by word and deed!
Did he not vote for JOHN QUINCY
ADAMS in preference to the HERO of
NEW ORLEANS.
We ask those questions, and defy the
Wings to answer them in any other way
than in the affirmative. And yet they
would delude the old Jackson Democrats
to vote for Harrison !--LdncaSter PLAIN
deaier.
The Illinois free trader. (Ottawa, Ill.) 1840-1841, 1840-07-24
A" One Term. ~

Not the least contemplate and absurd
feature in the federal system of electionce-
ring, is the assurance given to the public,
that if General Harrison succeeds TO the
Presidency he will serve but one term !!
Well, that would be consolation truly,
and the smallest favours we have no doubt,
would in that event be most thankfully
received. Possibly this determination
may be relic of the "STRONG AT
TACHMENT" he entertained for the
example of both the elder and the younger
ADAMS, who each served but "one
term" Their course he should however
remember was compulsory, not voluntary.
They served but single term each, be-
cause the people did not desire their SER
vices any longer. But then his friends
contend it would be setting so glorious an
example of democracy.-Shades of the
sainted Washington, Jefferson, Madison
and Monroe, depart from us forever
And thou Patriot and Statesman, ANDREW
JACKSON, hide thy diminished head A
new teacher hath arisen in Israel A
second Daniel hath come to judgement
Your example so long reverenced as an
illustrious precedent, it is now discovered
amounts to rank aristocracy, and it is re.
served for WILLIAM II. HARRISON
the advocate of the ALIEN and SEDI
TION LAWS of 1900, to teach you an(
your descendants practical democracy

be elected. The necessity of that Senator being
a Democrat, must be obvious to ALL This con-
sideratlon alone, independent of the fact that the
state will be apportioned into new representative
districts, should cause every Democrat to duly
consider the importance of casting his vote a; the
approaching election.
Whatever individual preferences we may en-
terrain for candidates of the opposition party, we
should sacrifice them all and remember that we
arc battling for the cause of the People and De-
mocracy, and that all considerations of personal
character fade into insgnilicance when compared
to the importance of the question involved
Primo pies SoT Men, should be the ralying cry
of the Democratic party at all times, and in par
ticular at this important crisis. II we buckle on
the shield and enter the contest with spirit there
can be no doubt of the triumph Of our cause
At such crisis, when there is at stake the best
interests of the Democratic party, no man with
proper conceptions Of duty can possibly stand
idle He who reposcs in safety upon his bed
of roses now, when the burning plough shares
of such conflict are in store, commits moral trea-
son against the institutions which it should be his
PRIDE as it is his duty to cherish and perpcpatc

VRtmious Outrage. - On the 10Th inst the
Printing Office of the "Fulton Democrat" pub
lished at Lewisiown, in this State was broken
into by some villain, between the hours of two
and six o'clock, and the editors most valuable
papers were destroyed, the letter cases pied, and
nearly all the standing matter in the office broken
down. An entrance was effected through one of
the back windows it is supposed during the
heavy rain which occurred on that evening, as n
mans track not quite oblierated by the rain, was
discovered The villain of this unprovoked out
rage as yet, remains unsupported.

Florida.

The st. Augustine News Of the 18th utimo,
has the following:
Indians kiHed-coptured and escape
Capt. Mason hiied.-We learn that Col.
Riley's command, operating on the With
lacoochce, few days since surprised an
Indian camp, two warriors of which were
killed, one man and woman and child
made prisoners. The Indian was placed
under the charge of sentinel, who,
falling asleep, allowed his escape. Pur-
suit was Immediately made by Capt. J.
b. Mason, of the Florida Volunteers,
who, being in advance of his men, was
accidentally killed by the firing upon the
escaping Indian.
The Indians who committed the out
RACES in the neighborhood fortnight ago.
and surrounded the dwellings at North
River, proceeded to the settlement at
Mandarin, and were accommodating about
there when their signs were discovered.
A party of gentlemen Immediately started
in pursuit, and came upon five of the ras-
Gals. They took to high grass pond,
and as the party were TOO small to sur
round it, the grass was fired, when the
fellows escaped under the smoke. Their
tracks were numerous in and around the
settlement.
A passenger arrived at Charleston from
st. Augustine, informs the editor of the
Southern Patriot that Col. Green, opera
ting in middle Florida had come in contact
with party of Indians and succeeded in
killing 3 warriors and white man who
was with them--also capturing several
prisoners.
FROM FLoRIDA.-In addition to extracts
in our columns from St. Augustine papers
Of Friday last, we learn from correspond
ent at Garey's Ferry, (l2th inst that
''an endorsement on letter from Captain
Tompkins, received by Yesterdays ex-
press, says--''ie,a HldianS, men, acOmen
and children, taken on the OsciHa rircr
one Mdim killed and one ,chite man
also killed foamd aciM the MdianS-So
says Western Erpress."
