TO MISSISSIPPIANS

The public mind is growing every day more
and more excited, about the State bonds, and
the shameful abuse of the desperate faction
who are banded together for their reputation.
In the midst of an ocean of SANDER and abuse,
many citizens as it were, stand quivering in
doubt and almost distrustful Of the settled
principles, of honesty and justice-tired of
the Presidential excitement, very many of our
best citizens are disposed to rest and repose,
and let the slanderers and demagogues have
their way. This manifest tameness is dis
graceful 10 the chivalric character of our State,
and if our citizens are not aroused TO sense
of pride and honor, the State of Mississippi
will become a bye-word and reproach through
out the universe. If people are willing to
live in the State Of Mississippi, let them sus-
tain for themselves fair name among the gov
ernments of the world, or else abandon the soil
and leave the State to the care and keeping Of
those who hail it as their birthplace, as conse-
Grated ground, where sleeps kindred and
friends. The "demagogues and loafers'' have
fourished long enough; they have battened up
on the good nature and hospitality of gen
erous people, until impudence and loafng are
taught as the chief virtues of human distinc-
tion. Arouse! fellow-citizens--look around
you, and scan the position and character oi
those who ask you to sink in infamy State
to which you still cling with respect and devo.
tion;-compare their standing and habits with
he taxes they pay; study their motives and
look to their history. It is your duty, your
first duty, TO protect the credit of the govern
nent TO whose laws you look for safety.

THE PRESIDENTS REPLY.
20 James Brooks Esq.

WASHINGTON, May A, IS4l.
"The flag which was in the midst and thick
est of the strife," and was committed to your
care on the Tppecanoe battle-ground by the
surviving soldiers of that memorable field, and
which they commanded you to bear to the me-
tropos as speaking emblem of the valor of
their old commander, and of the perils he had
undergone, has been delivered over to my
hands, and will be placed among the honored
trophies of the Republic. The account which
was given me some years ago. by the gallant
Ensign now no more, who upheld the banner
amid the perils of the fight, had prepared me
to expect to see it as it is, gashed by the TOM
ahawk and rent by balls. That Ensign alone,
of all the officers, with but twenty men of the
gallant company over which, when the sun
went down, that flag so proudly waved, sur
vived to tell in the morning of the hazards of
that terrible night. From that brave soldier,
who afterwards held a high place in the hearts
of the people of Indiana, | learned properly
to appreciate the fearless bearing and noble
conduct of the patriotic citizen who has so re-
Gently exchanged this earthly tabernacle OF
clay for one that endureth forever. Death
is the common heritage of humankind; but SO
to live as that the darkness of the grave shall
not obscure our names, and that they be placed
in close association with the names of the
great and good who have gone before and
who are TO come after us, makes death itself a
conSummation rather to be wished than fear
ed, and throws a light of glory over the grave.
Such, now, is the condition of "the old COM
mander," into whose hands, when you re-
ceived this flag, you SO justly anticipated its
delivery. His deeds are now "enrolled IN
the Capitol" and this banner shall be preser.
ed as memorial of battle well fought, and
ola victory most nobly won.
Ipray you, sir, to accept assurances OF my
great respect. JOHN YiER-
The bearer of the flag at the battle of Tip
pecanoe. alluded to in the above reply of the
President, some of our readers may not recol-
lect, was Ensign Upton, Tennesseean by
birth, who started from home with only his
axe for patrimony, and who subsequently
became Senator in the Congress of the Uni
ted States, and one of the most distinguished
men in Indiana. Of him the anecdote is mar
rated, we have seen in the public journals,
where General Harrison is represented as RI
ding up in the heat of the battle, inquiring OF
the Young Upton, "where is your captain?'
!, "Deadl sir" "Your lieutenant?' "Deadl sir.'
I"Your second lieutenant" "Dead! sir'-
I"Your ensign?" "He stands before youp'-
where Upton then stood, holding and defend
ing this very flag, but so covered with dirt
and so besmeared with blood that Gen. Har-
rison scarcely knew him. "Hold on" said
6 Gen. Harrison, "for moment longer;I will
reinforce you:" and he rode off and led up
there the company of Capt. Robb; by which
time, or soon after, of the seventy-five men
under Capt. Spencer, there were only ten OF
, twelve left not killed or wounded, in the CON-
pany was this flag.
