GREAT HARRISON VICTORY IN
VERMONT.

HE GREEN MOUNTAIN BOYS have again add
ed their indignant tones 10 the general voice Of
condemnation which has broken upon the ears Of
MARTIN VAN buren,, his advocates, and parti-
sans, from every quarter of the Union. The
PEOPLE of VERMONT have given their decision in
favor OF WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, and against
The present party in power by largely increas-
ed majority. The election took place on the
first of this month. We have before us the re-
turns from the different counties, as given by the
New York city and country papers, and by those
OF Vermont
The Opposition have elected their whole Con-
gresslonal matchmaking gain of Two mem
bers IN the House of Representatives. The ci-
tizens of the District of Columbia will hear with
particular satisfaction that JonN SMITH, one of
their most bitter, vindictve, and relentless enc
mics, has been sentenced to retiracy by the con
stituents whom he misrepresented at the last SEES
sion-the majority now against him being over
ONE THOUSAND.
II is estimated that Governor tensions ma
jority will be close upon ONE THOUSAND
The offceholders here boasted last week, of
what they would do in Vermont, as loudly as
they now affect to brag of their triumphs which
are 10 come, in Pennsylvania, and Virginia
and other States. The glorious success of
the Opposition in Vermont, is only an ear
nest of the discontinue which the Admins
rraton is to undergo elsewhere.
In the first Congressional District, Hiland Hall il
reelected by very large majority. The New York
American estimates it at twenty five hundred.
In the second District William Slade (Whig) is re-
elected by upwards of 5000 majority.
In the third District Horace Everett (Whig) is re-
elected by 5000 majority.

SOMETHING AMISS IN THE RULING Pc
LITICAL POWER

General Washington in a letter to General Arm
strong, says:
ain country like this, where equal liberty is enjoy
ed-where every may reap his own harvest, which
by proper attention will afford him much more than is
necessary for his consumption--and where there
is ample field for mercantile and mechanical exer-
tion-if there cannot be found money sufficient for
the common purposes of life not mention the
sary commercial circulation it is evident there is
thing anss in the ruling political pomer which re-
quires steady regulating, energetic honest hand to
correct and control Every mans experience will tell
him when such state of things exist the most me
lancholy and unequivoca proof of it being
FALL IN THE PRICE OF PROPERTY
How abundant every side are these indications
now What painful evidence brought home to every
Of business, demonstrating that there is some
thing amss' in the conduct Of those whom the people
have too long trusted with political power

VAN BURENISM is ULTRA FEDE-
RALISM

The Federal Loco Focos, in some parts of the
Union, following the lead of the convicted Ii
bellers who conduct the Globe, are attempting
to make the people believe that the present Har-
rison party is the old Federal party, and that the
present Federal Loco Foco party is the old Re
publican party To put down this falsehood
we republish, from the Madisonian of June 9Th
a mass Of information, and list of names
which most efiectually put down this pretence,
and fix ULTRA FEDERALISM uPcN THE FOREHEAD
OF VAN BURENisM.

Messrs ALLEN and McLEoD:
Your patriotic paper has done much good in Indiana.
1t has aided greatly bring beloved country back
10 its good old republican principles and to redeem II
from the hands of unworthy servants. You know,
and the whole nation knows, that Indiana is true to
her old friend and protector Harrison; and would to
Heaven every man in the United States knew the
merits and noble hearteIness Of General Harrison as
Indianians do. have lived twenty two years IN In

port and rejoice to think that such yet lived to
look up to direct our councils.

IMMORAL AND DlsHoNEsT.The letter Of General
Jackson in which he says that Mr. Livingston lost
character BY approprating 100000 of the peoples
money to his use, has shocked honest men of
both parties. 1t is invitation TO rob the people
it is justification Of suca robberies which can find
no response in the mind Of any honest But it
is Edward Livingston did lose character. =
lie obtained no appointment public station from the
General Government for p years, not until General
Jackson had the great charity to believe that there
harm in cheating the people out of 800 600.

LIGHT GRIEFs MAY sPEAK-DEEP
SORROWS TONGUE is BOUND

The Globe, the Albany Argus, the Pennsyl-
yanian, and other leading Federal Loco Foco
papers, have not a word to say about the Yer
mont election.
The Boston Morning Post, however, is more
open. II candidy admits, under date Of Satur-
day, that the Federal Loco Foco candidates,
Smith and Fletcher shave, without doubt,
been defeated in the 4th and 9TH Congressional
Districts and adds, THE Democratic (mean-
ing the Loco Foco) vote this year is probdbfy

question between Hanlsonand Van Buren, comes
up in November the vote Of !" the party" will be
smaller than ever has been given.

THE EMPIRE STATE.

PRESIDENT VAN BpREN, in his luxurious re-
treat, TO which be has retired from the heat and
dust Of the city, and from the intrusion Of those
whom he looks upon as the 'ignoble vulgar
affects TO believe that all is going on well and
tells his dependents that November will redeem
the losses which have attended him during the
year. But, in reality, he has no such faith
He and his partisans will talk of succeeding in
New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia-but
not at all more confidently than they did about
Vermont, which has so completely falsifed their
predictions. Van Buren, State Convention
was lately held in New York, the members of
which gave an estimate OF the result OF the cleo
ton in their respective counties-making ma
jority for Mr.. Van Buren, of 3,5O0 This is the
greatest amount the electioneerers for Mr.. Van
Buren, have the hardihood to claim for him in
his own State.
The Albany Evening Journal treats this bold
estimate in the following manner, as showing,
most clearly and decisively, the utter helpless
ness and desperation of Van Burenism:
II is a confession Of weakness which must strike
terror into the hearts of those who make il With
directly from the People, Van Buren, must prepare to
take leave Of his WINE COOLERS" his "LlouoR
STAND" and his "DAILY RosEsn
OF the "a counties claimed for VAN buren,, 10 at
Feast will 90 for HARRIsoN. They claim 3 900 in New
York merely becauseithat majority is absolutely
sary to enable them TO beat paper The claim Of
800 in Delaware 600 in Madison and 900 in Rockand
will shame Loco Focoism itself in those counties And
the pretence that Onondaga, Oswcgo, Kings, Lewis,
Queens, Richmond Saratoga, Schenectady Ulster
&c will 60 for Van Buren,, turns the whole estimate
into ridcule.
But let us turn moment to the Wing column In
almost every county majority is put fifty per cent
too low. Albany and Rensselaer, will each give
er 500 than 400 Wing majority. Allegany, Broome,
Cattaraugus Cortland Essex Franklin, Jefferson,
Monroe, Niagara, Ontario, and Orleans, will give
than double the majority allowed. Chautauque
will give from 200 to $500. Erie will give 5000 in
stead of 1000 Genesee will give at least $500 in
stead Of 800 and we will pay Mr.. Croswe a dollar
vote for every vote that General Hair falls short
of 900 majority in old Washington if he will pay us
the amount for every vote that General Harrison
receives in that county over 500.
