On this hint one of our exchange pa
pers tells an anecdo,e which is much to
the point. A noisy Loco Foco recently
offered himself in Tennessee, as candi-
date for some petty Office, and while adj
dressing the people, and speaking largely
of himself, all at once he paused, raising
himself on his toes, and bawled out, Il

FRONTIER CoNvEN71oN.--The friends
of Harrison and Tyler in Western Penn
sylvania have called Frontier Conven-
ton to assemble at Erie on the Tenth of
September, being the anniversary of Per-
rvs Victory Com. Perry's fleet was
fitted out at Lake Erie on the urgent sug-
gestion of Gen. Harrison to Government
that fleet on the Lake was essential to
the operations he meditated for the ami
hilaton of the rtish power in the North
West, was manned in good part by vol
unteers detailed from Harrison's Army,
and returned to Erie after the Victory
with the captured British fleet in compa-
ny. There is a peculiar fitness in the
time and the place for noble gathering
of Freemen friendly to Harrison. The
Freemen of all the States bordering on
Lake Erie are earnestly invited to attend.

to make what purports to be an affidavit,
in which he states he saw Gen. Harrison
with black cockade on his hat. II now
appears by atfidavi,s from some ten of
the most respectable citizens of Trumbul
co. Ohio, where Price resides, that at
the time he states he saw Gen. Harrison
wear the cockade, he was but a boy,
working on his fathers farm in New
Jersey--and that while a resident of
Ohio. his character, for truth and veracity
has been more than once impeached in
courts of record. The records of Court
are given in to substantiate this fact So
much for the Price affidavit, of which the
Argus has made much capital. Thou.

mously nominated by Resolution for re-
election. This result was communicated
by the President of the Convention, pre-
faced by few thrilling remarks. to the
people assembled in mass in Chancery
Square, whose response to the nominal
ton was spontaneous, loud, deep and re-
sounding.

Who does not remember the indignant bursts
OF eloquence that were then launched forth
within this Hall against gambling, waste Of
time. neglect OF public business, extravaganza
&c. &c ? With what commendable petv and
holy zeal did the leading champions of re-
trenchment and reform at hat day exhort all
devout Christians to open their eyes and lend
| their cars to full and thorough examination
of these subjects | have before me, sir, a
speech on this subject delivered on the 4th of
February, 1928, by the Hon. James Buchanan
on Mr. Chilton's resolution to retronch the ex-
penditures of the General Government, in
which he deliberately discusses the merits of
this enormous expenditure, and shows exceed
ing great regard for the scruples of the pious'
in regard to the purchase with the public mo.
ney OF instruments for amusement an exam
pie of wastefulness and extravaganza which
he appears to have apprehended must have
u most powerful and extensive influence upon
the morals of the youth OF our country
1t turned out, indeed, in the end, that MI
Adams had really paid for the billiard table
sc. out of his own pocket. But no matter
| the jackson party in Congress continued to de-
nounce the purchase of the billiard table, balls
(, cues, and chessmen. These were the articles
OF palace furniture upon which we jackson
men arraigned the administration of Mr. Adams
before the country. These articles of cxtrava
gancc amounted to S64 so. We were afraid
to pay for billiard table for the President t.
spend his precious time at, because he had sc
many important duties to perform. The ar
guments used at that time will Jingle in tn,
ears OF the old Jackson men when they shall
discover, what is the fact, that two hundred
! dollars have been paid for boot money on the
exchange Of mahogany piano.iorte for on,
! constructed of rosewood, and that the very re
formers who made such an everlasting di,
about the price of a billiard table, have ex

10 the rich stock bought by MT Monroe there
was added during the administration of John
@. Adams other furniture, including a service
of plate, taken from Mr. Crawford at the time
he left Washington, upon retiring from the
head of the Treasury Department; all Of which
amounted to the sum of $50, 900, and for which
Congress had granted the necessary appropria-
tions, viz:
February 25, 1925 $4,000
March 9, 1897 5000
The entire cost, therefore, of the furniture in
the Presidents House on the day the reformers
took possession was precisely $4,000 But all
the fine things which had been gathered into
the palace by Monroe and Adams ,cere nut grand
enough for our retormers; they must be pro.
yidcd with huge barn.door size mantel and pier
mirrors. in golden frames, magnificent cut-glass
chandeliers, royal and imperial Wiltons, Italian
gold slab pier tables, golden stars, golden rays,
Turkish divans, French comfortables, foreign
cut wine coolers, barrel-shape flute decanters,
with cone shoppers, and one hundred dollar ar
tiicial flowers Our reformcrs would not be
satisfied without the dulcct notes of the rose
wood piano forte,' (octaves;) nor could thew en-.
Joy their French cookery without the zest of
golden spoon. Oh! how they longed after the
genuine democratic gold and silver service of
the Russian BARON, 'le General Baron de Tauu'
Hence our REFoRMERs have expended seventy
AHousanQ SIX nun0reQ ana eigbty dollars and
forty cents to purchase all these locofoco bau-
bles. The FURNITURE, therefore at the present
time, in the Presidents palace, cost the people
the sum Of si40,6SO 40. What, sir, will the
plain farmers of the country say-what will
our industrious and frugal mechanics say-what
will the poor daily laborers say about the ex.
penditure of Sl40,6 40 in providing furniture
for one honse?-and such furniture! Is there a
locofoco within this Hall of the peo,le's Repre-.
sentatives who will Justify this extravacance'
If there be, denounce him as the tool Of the
Executive. The plain,republican citizens of the
United States will not excuse Martin Van Bn.

MATHEWS AND TIE TRENCHMAN.

Among the many foreigners with
whom Mr.. Mathews was intimate,
was Mr.. Pile, who frequently Wis
tied us after our marriage. Monsieur
Pile, and his wife, pretty English
woman, had been married several
years, but no child had blessed the
Otherwise happy couple. At the time
we became acquainted with them, IN
York, the lady had given promise, and
in due time the critical period arrived
which was to complete their happiness,
as they believed, by more powerful
bond of union. On the evening when
this event was expected, and Mon
sIeur Pile, hoped to become father,
he invited himself to dinner with us,
desiring to divert, if possible, the in
ttcnSity of his feelings from the little
less than agony of suspense which he
experienced lest his dearly beloved
vile should fall sacrifice to her situa-
uon. 1t was almost impossible, even,
while witnessing the husbands suffer-
ING, not to smile at the ludicrous eX-
preston he gave to it.
Mr. Mathews urged him to take
more wine than the habits of the alb
Semlons Frenchman would have al
ioWed him to drink at any other time,
out now he seemed glad to use any
aF'lllcal means to>sustain himself. A

stated them to be near a thousand.
The expense of the Tournament is a
still more difficult affair, to speak of,
but taking all the money that has

the amount will probably not be over

THE EGLINTON TOURNAMENT

1t may be interesting to state that
the armour used at the Tournament
on Wednesday, August 80, was col
lected from all parts of Europe, some
of it belonging to the period Of Richard
H., downward to that of Queen Eliza
beth. Many Of the helmets and breast

was of the most beautiful description,
and was laid out in the vestibulc on
the evening of the ball for the inspec-
ton of the company.
The deepest sympathy was felt and
expressed for those ladies and gentle
men who stood, for such length of
time, the pelting Of the pi;iless storm.

very handsomely dressed party who
sailed from Dunoon on the morning.

ever, were politely accommodated with
situations on the Grand Stand, which
was covered, the remainder mailingI
and shielding themselves from the on
fall of the elements with the greatest
spirit and good humour. The impos-
ing appearance of the gentlemen, all
in the most expensive Highland garb,
or other tasteful and appropriate cos
tunes, accompanied by their ladies,
was the subject of general culogium
when they arrived at Androssan, and
when they came to the fitting ground
they were loudly cheered - the bands
playing "The Campbels are COMM"
The party from Glasgow by the An
telOpe steamer also made a very Gre
ditable appearance, showing no white
feather at the luxuriance of an autumn
nal shower.
Amidst all the noblcmcn on the
ground onW ednesday we have heard it
very generally allowed that the Mar
qus of Londonderry was amongst the.
most elegantly dressed and best mount
ed. The Marquis of Waterford was
peculiarly well mounted and numeI
rously attended, and he seemed to be "a
general favOurte amongst the people i
many of his pranks being made the
subject of joke rather than Of peevish
cenSurc.
TO show the intense interest which
the affair had created throughout the
country, we may mention that there
was a whole stand full of Reporters of
the Press - and Artists from all parts
taking views of the romantic scene.
From London, Edinburgh, Dumfries,
Glasgow, Paisley, Greenock, Karma-I
mock, Ayr, &C., g., there were re-
representatives. of the Press, and one
individual procured tickets to the
Stand, as correspondent of a Germanl
! journal. The different onsets of those
engaged in the tilt was most impetuous
and knight like, but we belive that.
human nature is still the same as it
was in the days of the Tournament
at Ashby -de-la-Zouche. The attack
courteous was all very well, but we
are sincerely of opinion that the en-
counter Toutrance would have BEEN
more painfully pleasing, even TO the
polished spectators on Wednesday,
and that had the impetuous crash of
the gallant knights been followed by
the upsetting of man and horse, ac-
companied by the interesting rattlingI
of his armour as they smouldered a
mongst the sawdust, it would have add
ed an interest to the affair highly
requisite to its complete effect. Be

was as whimsical as had been his
dread. He was flying off to see his
frst-born, when a prudent message
from the doctor was added, recon-
mendng Mons. Pile not to return i'm
mediatcly, but to wait, satisfied with
present Intelligence, until summoned.
To this he reluctantly submitted and
rc-sealing himself, INDUCED in his fu-
ture prospect Of added bliss. Nothing
had been wanting but son to perfect
the interest of his life one child was
sufficient for their mutual wishes; in
deed, as he observed, large family
would not be desirable, or consistent
with his means and as he and his
wife were no longer youthful, it was
no longer probable that any very seri-
Gus increase to his family circle could
be expected = he was, in fact, the
happiest of men.
After short interval, the servant
appeared once more, to acquaint Mons.
Pile, his master, that since his first
message, "Mistress has got another

Surprising was the news, and some
what happening, we thought to the
happiness and satisfaction which the
first intelligence so indisputabIy occa-
stoned. However, after the first e.jac-
ulaton of surprise, Mons. Pile in
quired how his wife was, and on being
assured there was nothing to fear, and
that he would soon be allowed to see
her, he appeared to resign himself to
his twO-fold blessing, observing "Well,

powers there thought proper.
A third time his messenger rushed
in, more agitated and pale than at
first. He appeared to bring fatal intel

bursting from their sockets, and his
whole appearance was truly alarming
