BITING THE FILE.

We do not suppose that our readers are
inclined to have US occupy much of our
paper with extracts from the office hold
ers paper in this place; as good opportr-
nifty is afforded us, however, by an arti-
Gle in the last Gazette, Of again refuting,
as we have done several times before, a
fewsof the calumnies against Gen. Harri-
son. we hope our readers will bear with
us if we make few quotations from that
print on the present occasion. First, then,
we copy the three following paragraphs,
as they are much of piece
"KEEP 1T BEFORE YOU,
t'That Gen. Harrison supported the alien
and sedition law administration of John AID.
ans
KEEP IT BEFORE YOU,
"That he was accused Of this fact by John
Randolph, in the Senate Of the United States
and that he admitted that he had beena friend
to thatrdministration.
KEEP IT BEFORE YOU.
THAT Gen. Harrison wore the BLACK
COCkADE during the .'RElGN OF TERRoR''-

before the country
We pronounce the first to be gross
fabrication; the second so clothed in Van
Buren, sophistry as to make il no better;
and the third has only been sprouea' bv
Daniel and Price, two men, whose testi-
mony, owing to the general baseness Of
their characters, would not be believed in
= court OF justice, as we have affidavits
from the most respectable men 10 show.
In connexlon with these CHARGES. we
now give General Harrison's remarks
in reply to Mr. Randolph, and from
the circumstance that Mr. r. never con.
troverted this reply, it is presumabIe Tia,
he considered Gen. fl. fully exoneratei
from the charge
ls "While in the senate, John Randolph, O
Virginia, took occasion to renew an old charge
against general Harrison, of his having been ;
black-cockade federalist of 90, and Of having

GEN. HARRISON AND COL. R. NJ
JOHNSON.

1t would seem quite unnecessary to
publish any thing more in refutation Of
the vile ISLANDERS that have been thrown
out by the Van Buren, papers in relation
to the part Gen. Harrison acted in the
Battle Of the Thames, were it not that
these same papers continue their endeav-
ors to tarnish the fair fame of Gen. H.
To accomplish their object they do not
hesitate to falsify their Country's History
and strive to counteract and smother the
honest testimony Of one of his brave fell
low soldiers, who in 1881 had said, in
speaking Of Gen. Harrison, 'lhe history
of the west is his history. For forty
years he has been identified with its in
terests, its perils and its hopes" s''Dur-
ing the late war, he was longer i'll active
service than any other general officer; he
was, perhaps, oftener in action than any
one of them, and neuer sustained a de-
feat
| Col. Johnson delivered an electioneer-
ing speech recently in Chilicothe, Ohio.
In that speech, he of course, made allu.
sion to the campaigns of the north wes-
tern army during the late war, but said
nothing inconsistent with his former prai-
ses Of the bravery of Gen. Harrison
The Chilicothe Advertiser, however, as
! if bent on making capital. at any rate,
against Gen. II. made false report of the
speech in relation to the battle of the
Thames. This publication induced Maj.
CARNEAL, who is well known 70 be on
terms of the greatest intimacy with both
Gen. Harrison and Col. Johnson, and
who was Quarter Master in the Army in
1 1872, to address Col. Johnson onthe sub.
ject. He did this, she says, TO prevent
any unpleasant feelings between two gal.
liant officers of the late war, who, from
my own personal knowledge, entertained
high respect for each other.''
The following is Col. Johnson's an
swer 10 Maj. Carneal, which he views
sufficient to put at rest ssnow and forever

..THE DELEGACY."

The above is the caption of d long arti-
Gle in the last Gazette, which we think
was written by an Office holder. At any
rate it contains such rsntings and cayort-
ings against Mr. Rich, the Peoples can
didate for Delegate, as to make it worthy
such source. Its ratings against the
meeting that nominated Mr. Rich can do
him no harm. If there were lawyers and
'.tape sellers" at that meeting there was
a large proportion of farmers-and that
proportion was as 10 6 of any other class
and they will doubtless feel highly COM
plimented at the notice taken of them by
this writer il the Gazette.
The people understand and coincide in
the manner in which Mr. Rich was brought
out. They were obliged to make a
nomination i'll opposition to the office hol-
ders candidate. They have done it, and
have selected one whose talents eminent
ly qualify him for the station, and from
present indications we think he will be
elected
They may deny that Gen. Dodge is the
office holders candidate and that he was
fixed upon by certain clique in Burling-
ton as candidate, long before he was nom
mated by Proxy at Bloomington, as far
back, even, as last winter, but it will avail
them little. The "federal leaders, haze
proof on the subject. Will Gen. Dodge
deny that he knew his name was mention
ed as candidate as long ago as last Febru-
airy? Will Mr. Johnston of Lee County
deny that he knew? Yes, the federal
leaders" have proof on the subject and if
they will but testify, zoe shall no. be un-
der the necessity of furnishing any more
than we have done.
The People were pressed into the bu-
siness of drawing the party lines. They
have undertaken it at the strong solicita-
ton of their opponents. And as they hard
ly ever undertake any thing without max
ing thorough work of it. we think they
will succeed this time. We verify believe
if Gen. Dodge had come out on his own
hook as an independent candidate, and
mounted the stump without asking his
brother office holders to boost him up, lie
might have been elected without much OPP
position. But as it is, having to carry
little Matty on his back, with his Sub
Treasury and Army Scheme and Florida
dog war and Palace Furniture and other
extravagances, we think he stands pref
ty fair chance of being broken down.
Wherever Mr. Rich has been since he
regained his health he has been received
with open arms by the people, and has
left very favorable impression in regard
to his fitness for the Office. We are glad
to hear this, not only because we wish to
see him beat his opponent, but because
we like to see real merit appreciated
wherever it may be found-in the poor
as well as in the affluent. This we con-
slider the very essence of Democracy, and
we think there is enough of it in Iowa to
elect Mr. Rich. We would call the atten-
ton of the reader to the letter Of our cor
respondent from Jefferson County. That
tells the story.

FOR rnr SALT RIVER JOURNAL.

Mr. Editor 1t has now become a frsl
and leading principle with the leaders of the
Federal Wing" Coalition, to impose upon
the public mind by = pitiful resort TO misre-
presentation and da2'ici'y. These lea ierS,
of sail the decency and all the talent are
unceasing in their efforts to deceive and mis-
lead the credulous portion Of the commune
~, touching every subjec, matter of dispute
between the Fedora! Aristocracy. and the
Democracy Of numbers. The Federal par
~, avoid as much as possible, a public and
lair discussion Of the h'ue differences Of opin-
ion and principle which exists between the
ms and the outs, and seek 10 operate by
secret means, whenever, and wherever, a
favourable opportunity for making false i'm
pressions, may offer. Ga no one Of the
measures proposed by the late or present ad-
ministrations of the General Government,
have the opposition made more reckless and
shameful efforts to deceive and mislcad the
public mind, than they have in regard to the
independent Treasury Scheme, recommend
ed by President Van Buren,, for the safe
keeping and disbursing the public revenue.
This great measure of deliverance and re-
lief from the damning influence of a corrupt
and demoralizing banking system, is repre-
scented by the Bank party, as a" Government
Bank -, over which, the President Of the U.
States, is to have unlimited control, and the
liberty to use at will, any mount Of the pub
lie money, for ekctionecring purposes, and
much Of such like false and silly stuff.
Nor FOR the Information Of those who may
he in search Of truth, concerning this matter
in dispute, | will in rs few words as posi-
bic, state the trIe character and object of
the Independent Treasury Scheme. The
public revenue collected under acts of Con-
gress, for the support Of the General Gov
eminent, is derived from the sales of the pub
lie lands; from duties imposed on foreign
merchandise imported into the U. States,
and from the General Post-Oihce. For the
sales of the public lands, there has TO be a
~receirer Of the public money aieach Land
Office in the several States and Territories,
in which the public lands are situated. Tn
der the regulations of the General POST dice,
there has to be Il deputy Postmaster at
each Of the thirteen thousand or moro post
offices in the United States. And for the
collection of the revenue derived from i'm
port duties, there has TO be collectors OIL
