FELLOW CITIZENS In our last we called your at
tenon TO the extravaganza of the party in power;
gave their promises, and compared them with their acts
We propose continue the discussion ando give you
other "reminiscences, which they had fondly
hoped the curtain of ogetuness would have before this
time, lowered. Not so-the wound shall be probed; i;
ccatrizaton is not yet complete although they have Civ
en- the patient full many nostrum.
President HARRISON at his death, was to be buried ;
and of either party opposed to his having
decent interment But what do beholG?-the sum of
one, two, three hundred dollars given for that purpose
No. They satisfied with ten times that amounts
for his funeral alone, cost the Of 3OS0
We speak from the record @How do you suppose it
sweea to that We should be fearful Of stating
it, unless had the proof at hand Among The items,
they hired nineyseren hacks, at each, for the silk
stocking gentry TO ride TO the funeral! They actually
expended over six hundred dollars purchasing crape
gloves rband, and other gcwgaws which they gave away
to all who applied for the purpose of clothing them in
habiliments of mourning! They expended large
gold lace, gold tasses and other fashionable olIies
And all for what?-to bury some Eastern Monarch or
prnceIy Potcntate? Oh no but simply decenfly to in
ter 'a log cabin Presdent'! Yes, this the reform,
economical Administration, of which you have heard
much Are not ready to exclaim, Is possible that
all this done, and that by the party who circua
ted OgIe's speech!
Poor ogIe! of him we shall say. nothing He "has
gone that bourne from whence traveller returns,
and should tread lightly his ashes. Was he liv
ing, should like TO anitnadver upon the speech but
shall only say, that if his spirit is far from the
regions Of bliss, his speech from the regions of
truth he is fndeed "where the deth not, and
where the fire is not quenched."
So reckless had they become Of their assertions, and
completely had they the country duPed, that Mr. Clay
declared, in his Hanover speech that 'he bare. an
nouncenent of Cen Harrison's election would breathe
anew into the Republic the breath of fe:"' And Semi
tor Preston in speech at Poughkepse n. York, said
'the moment it known that he arrison) elect
ed business would re-aRinate and the country be better
ed to the amount of Hundred millions Of dollars"
What do we see?-any Improvement in the times? On
the contrary things growing Money scarcer-
produce ower-your Treasury bankruPt-and the Pub
lie Debt increased many mous What, now, do you
hear? Give tme-we have fost our President, and
Tyler is traitor. ... -.., g. z
We say you, believe them not. 1t is their interest
now to deny what 1t their policy before to AFFIRM
They have deceived the country once, and they may do
il again. as we know they will should they succeed in
forcing upon you the election of Henry Clay We con-
graduate you that there is prospect of it. The march
of correct principles is ontcGTd The party III power
have already seen the hand writing upon the wall %
and 1t has naQ tne same
shazzar of old-a mighty shaking among the limbs. No
longer will the good Old North State be in the valley of
shadows but Rip Van Winkle' will arise from that
supor which the mantle of Federalism always produces,
and will take her stand with democratic Virginia on he
one s.de and her muchabused republican sister South
Carolina on the other, and proclaim to the world that
she stands redeemed, regeneraed, and dsenthraed
from the shackes of Federalism " that she is now, as
she was in 24 49, '32 and SO, the uncompromlsng oP-
ponent both of Henry Clay and his Protective Tariff
Yes we are already in the dawn its twilight is break
ing State after State has come over We feel the iresh
air of morning. and the steps of day upon the moun-
tain tons - thence it has glided to oceans wave,
whence if will be reflected back, until by reflection and
refaction light enough will be given TO expose the ma
kedness of Whg hurnbuggery, whether fighting under
the banner of sNational Republican,, modern Whg or
Blue-light Federalism 5-51s
A WESTERN FARMER.
