In NAV last, on the Tippecanoe battle ground,
in presence Of some thirty thousand people, was
entrusted by the surviving soldiers Of that memora-

thekcst Of the strife, which was commanded to
take to this commercial metropolis to be displayed
hsre before our lellow-citizens living speaking

as President in the White House at Washington,

fellowsoiers request him TO deposite il among the

that ground to execute this commission, asd with

there is the quiet Of the grave!

this flag before you, the successor, for whom We're
the diving niunctons Of their illusrious Chief, and
upon whom his Office, and, | trust, his spirit has
fallen with the request that you will carry out the
wish OF his conpatriots in arms, by depositing II

in their name, most teuderly to cherish it. Other

gallsntly defended, and were glorious on land or

winning whole States, Of conquerng empires, in

Of the wilderness, that has added TO the reign
of the cross, the reign of liberty and law, becomes
a holy emblem, with its in hoe signo 0tnces upon

INCREASE OF CRIME.

upon the increase Of crime. Itestabshes the fact,
il it needed proof, that If thieves and other depts-

hood as they do 10 get it dishonesty, they would
accumulate large fortunes It discourses well also
upon the decline of puec virtue. We give its
concluding paragraph, which is excellent Gin.

" Every means of exciting public virtue should be
Iesorted to. Our school system should embrace
moral well as mental cultivation. In our com
mon schools trades should be taught. The youth

Of some useful avocation engrafted upon it. The
administration of public affairs should furnish al
example of economy, industry, and integrity to be
followed by the people. There should be no of
fetal drones, no exalted Pecuators, no IMMUNITY tC
official swindlers. The terrors of the law as wei
as the sanctions of religion should be invoked tt

THE FLORIDA WAR.

On the receipt of our Southern mail it frequently
becomes our painful task to record some horrid

Philadelphia North American in speaking of this
inhuman war, takes the following just and liberal
view of the case:
1.-The probability is, that wretchedly conceived
well as inhuman enterprise, must be abandoned.
1t finds no sympathy with the American people,
and there is prospect OF subduing or eNteIml-
mating the Seminoles. The Florida War was be-
gun in injustice and it will end in disgrace. 1t
grew out of desire to possess by brute force what
could not amicably be purchased. Where peace
fll acauiesconce could moi be obtained, power was
brought by the strong TO coerce the weak. Such
conduct will not stand scrutiny NOT bear apProba-
ton. Heaven, we trust, may yet trown upon oil
these aggresso Of selfish white men, whose whole
ambition is TO possess themselves of the territory
Of the Seminoes, as they did that of the Cherokees
and Cresks These contests from first to last have
been a succession Of unprovoked cruel,es and
moral wrongs, which cry to Heaven for revenge

public Journas to lay before the world the details
OF suferinss resulting from the cruel invasion of

course OF things, the poor Indians must disappear
before the march Of civilization. 1t seems to be
the order Of Providence that those incapable OF
solfsupport except by the spontaneous fruits OF
the earth shall yield up the soil to the advance
meot orth,ift and industry. Hence they become
the victims of cupdty; and the vices of civiIi@a'
lion, without the aid of their attendant virtues,
help on the work of determination. The Indian

The decree appears to be uttered the decision gone
forth Whether it be by vice or injustice the utter

THE PRESIDENTS REPLY.
To Jamss Brooks, Esq.

WAsHlsGros, May a. 1871.
The flag which was in the midst and thickest
Of the strife and was committed to your care on
the Tippecanoe battle ground, by the surviving
soldiers Of that memorable field, and which they
commanded you to bear to this metropolis as
speaking emblem Of the valor OF their own com
mander, and of the perils he had undergone, has
been delivered over to my hands and will be placed
by me among the honored trophies of the Republic.
The account which was given me some years ago,
by the gallant Ensign more. who upheld
that banner amid the perils OF the fight, had pre-
pared me to expect to it it is, gashed by the
tomahawk 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, survived TO
tell in the morning of the hazards OF that terrible
night. From that brave soldier, who afterwards
held high place in the hearts of the people OF indi-
ana, | learned properly to appreciate the fearless
bearing and noble conduct Of the patriotic citizen
who has so recently exchanged this earthly tsber-
nace of clay for one that endareth forever. Death
ia the common heritage of all mankind, but so to
live that the darkness Of the grave shall not OBJ
scure 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 contamination rather to
he wished than feared and throws light OF
glory over the grave Such now, is the condition
OF the old commander into whose hands, when
you received this flag, you joyousy anticipated
its delivery. His deeds now enrolled IN the
Capitol, and this banner shall be preserved as
memorial of battle well fought. and of victory
most nobly
| pray you, sir, to accept assurances OF my great
respect. JOHN l1Lkh.
The bearer of the flag at the battle Of TiPpeca-
noe alluded to in the above reply of the President,
some of orr readers may not recollect, was Ensign
Upton, Tennesseean by birth, who started from
home with only his axe for pa,rimony, and who
subsequently became Senator in the Congress OF
the United States and one of the most distinguish
ed men in Indiana. OF him the anecdote is narra-
ted we have in the public journals, where
Cen Harrison is represented riding up in the

DEAR SIR:-I very cheerfully add my testimony

My wife had been for several years suffering and

usual accompaniments when, in December, 1885,
purchased of you one box-from the of which
her health far restored, that she deemed the
further Of it at that time unnecessary. On a
return of some symptoms of the disease during the
summer of 1887, she resorted TO the same remedy
and continued it until she had taken the contents
Of three boxes Since that time she has been we'll
and can, without Inconvenience, any thing that
she fancies.
From this case, and from the benefit 10 my own
health, derived from the Of single box, | am
prepared to believe that this medicine is justly ent
titled to all the credit claimed for it by its warmes.
