more OF THE BLACK COCK.
ADE."-Our opponents have introduced
two witnesses, Fowler and Price, who
say that Gen. Harrison once wore the
black cockade. From the best of testi-
mony and by solemn afidayits from res
pectable men, it has been shown that one
OF these loco witnesses was in New Jer-
sey a, the time spoken of and was but II
years of age, and as General H. had not
been there at that time, he could not have
seen him; besides, this same witness
possessed a character so notorious that
gentlemen of the best standing have de-
;clared--and we have their affidavits--that
they would not believe any thing he said,
IN which he was interested, even on oath.
Their other witness has been proved 10
be very old man who is such notori-
GUS drunkard that he could be influenced
TO say almost any thing for glass of
whiskey, and that he was led TO make the
statement he did at the instance of Bit
ter enemy of Gen. Harrison. If the above
is denied we have the documents to sub
stantiate what we have said. We now give
an affidavit, which is only one among
many others, of different character:--
Deposition Of John Mutson, Esq late associate
Judge Of the county Of Hamilton, one Of the
most respectable men and most su5stantic1
farmers Of the county.
l was rcsidentof the county of Hamilton
in the North Western Territory, from the
year 1871, until it became the state of Ohio,
and have continued to reside in the township
OF Miami, in the said county and state from
that time. | became acquainted with Gen.
Harrison, then a captain in the army, upon his
marriage with his present wife, the daughter
was then, and continued to be upon the most
intimate terms; and my acquaintance with
Gen. Harrison was continued during the time
that he was the secretary Of the North Wes-
tern Territory, and when he represented the
Territory in congress as the delegate.-I have
always considered Gen. Harrison democratic
republican of the Jeffersonian school. In the
year 1893, Gen. Harrison was elected the dele
gate in opposition to Mr. St Clair. the son of
the governor, the federal candidate. In that
year, lived a near neighbor to Cen Harrison,
and solemnly declare that never saw him
wear black cockade or any other cockade
after he left the army, or ever heard of his
wearing one unless when acting as governor Of
the territory and reviewing training the
militia JOHN MATSON.

compliment to our Democratic Legislators

charitable feelings to run away with their
duty to their constituents or their sense
jof justice. We call upon this wholesale
viliier of private and professional charac-
ter to point to the instance in which we
have exhibited ingralitude for any favor
we have ever received. Thank God, that
is trait of character with which we do
not stand chargeable. The work we per-
formed was satisfactory to our employers,
and they paid us for it-but no more than
they paid others for similar work: if it
was charity in the one case. it was in the
other. This newly imported editor seems
to know SO little about our private re-
sources, that it is necessary for US to in
form him that the Hawkeye and Patriot
would have lived past this time without
the charity he speaks of. We presume
the money he gets he earas--and so does
the scavenger.

PADLOCKS FOR OFFICE-HOLDERS!

.PADLOCKS FOR E-HOLDERS!
The following, which we take from the
Alton Telegraph, seems somewhat appli-
cable to this meridian. We consider the
people in this region so we'll apprized of
its applicability that we deem it unneces-
sary to make any farther explanation.
From the Alton Telegraph.
Gov. Reynolds appears to be laboring
under remarkable hallucination. He
seems to think that Mr. Jefferson and Gen
Harrison and the Wings are of the old
Federal party and that himself and Mr.
Van Buren, and Carrot D. Wall and Hen
ry Hubbard and james Buchanan and
Aaron Vanderpoel and Reuel Williams
and John H. Prentiss, &c. &c. are Of the
Republican or Democratic party! In his
late Circular, speaking on the subject Of
officers of the General Government TAX
ing an active part in elections, aid OF the
efforts of Mr. Criuenden and Mr. Bell to
prohibit it by law, Gov. Reynolds ex-
claims:
"Who ever heard Of State or Federal
officer having paddock TO his mouth 3
The honor of the invention is due to the
Federal party of 49,"
Stop, stop, Johnny-not quite so fast,
if you please! Here is the "padlock"
and the name of its inventor! 1t is ex-
tracted from a Circular issued by Presi-
dent Jefferson to the subordinate officers
of the Federal government. Mr. Jefferson
has not been generally considered as be-
longing to the "Federal party of '9s;'
but we freely admit that he belonged to a
party whose principles were Numerically
opposed to those of Martin Van Buren,,
Thomas H. Benton, Carrot D. Wall and
yourself.
.sThe President of the United States
has seen acith Dissatisfaction, officers Of
The General Government taking, on vari-
Gus occasions, active parts in the election
of public functionaries, whether Of the
general or state governments. Freedom
Of elections being essential to the mutual
independence of the governments, so vi
tally cherished by most of our constitu-
tons, 1t IS deemed improper for officers
depending on the erecutive Of the Union
to attempt to control or influence the free
exercise of the elective right: and farther,
it is expected that he (the oifcer) will not
attempt to influence the votes Of others, nor
to take any part in the business of cleo
tioneering, that being deemed inconsist-
ent with the constitution and his duties to
it."--Thomas Jefferson.

In the popular branch Of the Legislature.
We learn on good authority that M ore
head, the Wing candidate for Governor,
has beaten Sanders, the Loco Foco in
cumbent, at the tune of between 5000 and
5000 majority, and the Wings will have
about 80 majority in the Legislature, on
Joint ballot. We hope to be able to pub
fish full and accurate returns in our next.

NOTICE is hereby given, that the sub
i scriber, about the first of June last, sold
out his entire interest in the Real Estate
Banking Company of this place, to the balance
of the then Stockholders thereof, and from that
time ceased to be partner of that company.
1t was asserted and confidently believed, at
that time, that this Company had made a clear
profit of some 20 or 30 per cent upon the
stock subscribed, and yet the subscriber sold
out his entire interest to the Company, without
one cent of profit. The Company agreeing to
save the subscriber harmless and TO pay off all
the liabilities of the Bank, it is hoped that no
one having claim against them. for which tue
subscriber may also be liable, will, under these
circumstances, disturb or harrass him, by suits
or otherwise, unless it be found that all just
demands cannot be collected of any Of the re-
naming stockholders of the Company.
