More DictatiOn !!

General Jackson, has recently come out with
letter, extolling Van Buren, for following in his
footsteps" so nicely, and abusing General HARRr-
SON, who was the only General, who, in the last
War, had the honor of capturing British Army.
General Jackson, in concluding his mandate,
takes considerable trouble to inform the "dear
people" that he never entertained very exalted
opinion of General Harrison, either as a "Hero"
or STATESMAN This was just the opinion that
this same General Jackson, entertained of the
aFather of his country WAsHIxcToN
whom he opposed in the councils of the ma
ton; and meanly recorded his name against
vote of thanks, which Congress was awarding
him, for his glorious services, at the close of his
career, as President.
This is the class of men, who are now SANDER
ing General Harrison. The people will know
how much value to place upon their hypocrtical
manevering, to accomplish their own vile pur-
poses

More Signs!

We might gil up large portion bleach number
Of our paper till after election, with the names Of
original Jackson men, who are now coming out IN
favor Of Harrison and REFORM but there are 80 many
other important topics that must be noticed that we
are obliged TO forego that pleasure. Occasionally,
however, we will attend to this matter. Here is one
case, and hard case too for the offce-holders In
the town of Northfeld Massachusetts, the 18th Of
July inst, twenty citizens all of that town save
one deliberately signed public REMUNERATION
Of Van Burenism. In their .Deelarafion Of Inde-
pendence," they say
CATER a careful examination Of the
measures of the present administration. and
comparing them with the sentiments they
formerly professed to hold, we have become
convinced that they widely differ from
what W as considered democracy in 1928
We do therefore hereby announce our de-
termination to abandon the administration
and finding that Wm II. Harrison has been
nomina ted for the Presidency, we will give
him and the principles as laid down by
Wings, our most ardent support, believing
that by this course,we shall carry out the
principles of true democracy, and do justice

The " Distress hobby,
Phipsburg, July 20, 1910.

THE TABLES. 1t has been preten-
ded by portion of the federal meaning,
the Democratic Wing press, we infer from
the article, press, that The high price of
freights and the extraordinary prosperity
of the shipping interest, was owing to an
unusual reduction of the ships, by ship
wrecks (a) aud other casualties.
Now MARK THE FACT!
The Commercial tables, just Published,
show that the amount Of American tonnage
on the 30th of September last, ~ was
NINETY-ONE THOUSAND TONS,
greater than it has ever been
.4uensta Age.
(a) The Age editor, doubtless, has reference,
particularly, to the articles. which have publish
cd in this paper relative to this subject. Now If
the writer of the above had cared TO be correct in his
statements, he would have observed that we never
attributed 'the high price offeghts, and the extra
ordinary prosperity of the shipping interest,"" to the
Prediction Of the number Of ships, by shipwrecks
and other casualties We will "take the respon-
sibility' to challenge the Age to single Wing
Journal. that has in any instance, urged this cir
cumsance. in any other light, than as mere secon-
Diary consideration. The true causes, as our readers
well know have been amply shown, in the contro-
versy we have lately had upon this subject, and we
make no doubt but that our opponents, from their
profound silence upon the true points at issue, are
well satisfied that in attempting to make political
capital out of that hobby, they have most injudi-
ciously ",caked up the acrong passenger"
(b) The commercial tables to which the Age
refers. we have not now before US; but we presume
that all vessels engaged in the foreign and domestic
trade of every description is included in the aggre
gate named. We suppose the editor Of the Age, is
not ignorant ofhe fact, that very essential add-
ton has been made to the tonnage of the description
suitable for the Cotton Carrying Trade, within the
past year-indeed what few ships and barques have
been built this season, have been undertaken since
the advalce of freghts in the spring.
There is one other little prcs of deception in this
table business which the reader will please no.
tce. The Age after asserting that the Wing papers
attributed the rise of reghts to the scarcity Of ships
owing to shipwrecks, &c., goes on to demolish
this "man Of straw by citing these wonderful tables,
which gives an increase for the year ending the
30th of September last, Of ninety thousand tons!
One simple fact is enough to deu'oish this nice lit
tie piece of sophisuy completely; it is ths;-It was
not until AFrEA the 3Oh of September last, that any
very extensive shipwrecks occurred Ifs to the in
Of the tonnage, we are not disposed to ques-
ton, its correctness for the period named although
we do seriously doubt, whether the soh of Septem-
Der nert, will show equal increase, after making
the proper deductions.

AT NEW ORLEANS, AUeusr 9th, 1889.

ON THE DEATH OF P. o. Mcclellan, WHO ntED
AT NEW ORLEANS, AUGUsr 9th, l539,
Ay, weep for the loved laid low
For the kindly spirit fled
For him, who tar from his own bright home,
Lies ssumberng with the dead
From all that his childhood knew,
Or his rpening manhood loved,
From all that was dear to his yearnlng heart,
Or his deep affections moved
Away from his fair young bride,
From a mothers tender care,
From his bright eyed boy, from all, was he
Alone, amid strangers there
And there, in a stranger cline,
He sunk in the slumber of death =
Oh how much of true worth and nobleness
passed
From earth with that parting breath
Az, weep, It's affection right
To greve-when its tendrils are torn
Away by the ruthless hand of death,
1t is well, It's well, to mourn.
Why, why should the spirit strive
Its anguish to bear unmoved
Our Heavenly Pattern refused not to weep
At the grave of him he loved.
Oh seek not to stay those tears,
For goodness departed, shed,-
IT'S holy, soothing, Christening grief
That sorrow for the dead
For the dead Is he gone for Aye
Will that bright smile ne er return?
will never that kindly voice be heard
To soiace those that mourn
oh. never-the spoilers hand
Hath laid that loved form low,
It hath chilled the heart, that SO kindly beat
For another's JOY or wo.
How cold are the warmest words
That friendship and kindness suggest!
How powerless they to suhdue the grief
That reigns in the lonely breast
Away from the worlds cold gaze
II pours its sorrows forth
Why speak of the loved and departed, TO those
Who know not and heed not his worth +,
Amid the deep silence of grief,
Comes not there whispering voice,
To tell of world where the loved part not.
OF deeper, enduring joys?
OF hopes never quenchrd in tears
Of balm for the sorrowing breast.
OF a quiet this world can never give,
Where the weary forever can rest?
O list to that friendly voice
1t calls thee from earth away,
To enter the path to that better land,
Where pleasure hath no decay
