For the Portage Sentinel.
John H. HarmOn-Free Press,

Ed. Sentanel-I read notice in YOU
paper, a short time since, relative to the
connexion of. H. HARMON with the De
troit Free Press. The subject is worthy
Of more extended notice, as it shows wha,
energy, decision, and cool courage will dc
in shaping life's rough ends"
In the Canada Rebellion, of 1888, young
Harmon, then slender, elfeminate, and
unpromising looking boy, entered with all
his soul. In the battle of Winsor, on the
4th of December, 1888, he first tried his
temper in the struggle of conflicting arms,
and by his GOODNESS evineed courage lit
tie corresponding with his slender frame,
and age. In the heat of the strife, being
unable to drive home his charge of powder
and lead, he raised his gun to ascertain the
cause, and found ball had struck the bar
rel, directly in front, and dented it in about
half the thickness of the ball. Appealing to
an officer for another gun, on inspection it
was found that young Harmon's gun had
no less than five marks upon the stock and
barrel made by the enemy's balls. He
coolly threw it down, and took another, the
owner of which had gone to patriots grave.
This shows the GOODNESS, the courage, de.
cision and energy that have won him sue
cess in subsequent life. s. a,.-.
After the defeat OF the Patriots, and on
their attempt to escape, in open boats, to
the United States, Gen. Brady sent the steam
boat Erie, with United States troops to cap
ture them while he, with his Brady Guards,
and fixed bayonets, paraded with call the
pomp and circumstance of war;" on the
bank of the river, to receive "the Patriot
army" consisting of the remnant of twenty
five men which composed the rear guard
of that little adventurous band. Young
Harmon was among them. AS Maj. Paine,
who commanded the Erie, landed his pris-
oners, Brady with his troops surrounded
them, and in the most insulting manner told
them he would have them all in jail. Young
Harmon, with a spirit worthy of Sparta's
better days, replied, eff you can show any
authority for it we shall 60, and not with
out" This unexpected answer, from

Admission Of California.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
writes from Washington, by telegraph, un-
der date of June 9Th: "Mr. Phelps, of Mis-
souri,, made splendid sheech to-day. In
alluding to the opposition of ultra South
erners to Mr.. Clay's compromise, he de-
manded a vote for the immediate admission
of California. This has set politicians to

to anticipate the result: In the House, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Delaware,
Maryland, and Georgia, will 60 for the
compromise. Against it are Virginia, South
Carolina, Alabama, Missouri, Mississippi
and Florida. Louisiana and Texas will be
divided. California will certainly be ad-
mitted. There are forty majority in the
House in favor of of admitting it, and two
majority in the Senate"

The Convention and Banks.

Some of our Democratic contemporaries
express fears that the Constitutional Con.
vention will fail to adopt any radical re.
forms in relation to the subject of Bank
ing; and it is said that there are IA or Is
members of that body who were elected as
Democrats, over whom the power of the
aalmighty dollar" has a greater control
than principle and their obligations to the
people, who have deserted their constitu.
ents and sold themselves to the bankers
We hope that these fears may prove ground.

We had supposed, that upon no question

were more fully expressed or better under.
stood, not only by the members of our own
party, but by "the rest of mankind" In
1916 the Democracy took the broad, open,
radical position Of opposition to every spe.
cies of paper money swindling-to all sys-
TENS of paper money banking. At that
time there was not a perfect unanimity Of
sentiment upon this subject in the party,
but time and experience showed the justice
Of the position then taken, and those who
then stood out against that position,
have since been among its frmest advo.
Gates and supporters; and the position then
assumed has since been twice unanimously
sustained by Dememocratic State ConveE-
tions, and uniformly responded to by the
people in their County Conventions. Be-
sides, this question has been the main diff.
6culty in the way of the holding of a Con-
vention TO amend the Constitution. The
wings have acknowledged the defects in
the present constitution, for years, and they
have resisted its amendment only through
the fear that, should the power to amend
it be granted, the people would use it to
protect themselves from the overshadowing
evil Of paper money.
Now that the Democracy have the pow
er in the Convention, if they shall fail to
use it to promote the desired reforms in this
respect, we shall be forced to the belief that
the corrupting power of money has had its
influence among the members of that body,
and that they have betrayed the People for
price. But, we shall see.

Mr. Benton said the resolutions did not
represent the sentiment of majority OF the
people of St. Louis.
After some brief remarks by Mr. Ache

the admission Of California, the resolutions

The Senate then took up the omnibus

Mr.. Webster spoke in favor Of each
measure presented, and would be glad to
vote for them connectedly or separately.

length, during which MIR. Benton, Mr..

Mr. Houston spoke in favor Of the Texas

MIR Clay read letter from Mr. Reed, o

Whiggery In a Snarl.

The Wing party seems to be terribly out
of joint, and is getting no better very fast,
Clay, the embodiment, and his friends, and
Taylor, the available, with his, are at open
war with each other. Clay openly de-
nounces the Presidents plan Of non-aetion
in regard to the territories and ridicules it,
questions his generalship at Buena Vista,
and doubts his patriotism. On the other
hand, the wings presses that sustain the Pres
ident and his Galphin cabinet, denounce
the great embodiment and scompromiser,'
and question his fidelity to the whig party
and its principles; and some of them claim
that, as Mr.. Clay commenced his career as
Democrat, and having failed to crafty
his ambition in the whig ranks, he is shap-
ing his course and clearing the way for a
return to his first love. The good time
coming is near at hand.
A correspondent of the Boston Courier
writing from Washington just after Mr.
Clay's attack on the Presidents plan, says
Mr.. Clay's speech delivered yesterday
was one of those matchless specimens o
brilliant impudence for which this eminen
statesman has so long been distinguished
In it, Mr.. Clay set himself up as the guid'
and teacher of the President of the United
States. He undertook the modest task O
calling him up and administering chastise
ment to him, as pedagogue mi ght be ex
pected to administer il to refractory schoo
boy. We undertake to say, that the bisto
ry of American politics cannot show par
allel to the impudent assumptions, and as
founding impertinences of the illustrious or
ator, towards the head of the Government
'expibited yesterday.
The Republic, the Presidents organ, de
votes large space to defence of the Ex
eeutive from the attack of Mr.. Clay, an,
the leading whig journals are taking side
in the war that is beginning to rage il
coondom.

Unfinished Business.

Notwithstanding the wings during the last
Presidential canvass made no declaration
of principles 'for the public eye,' no sooner
was the result of the contest fairly known
than their papers and leading politicians
began to direct the people to look ahead
to the good time coming when the entire
whig policy should be in full operation in
administering the government-when pro-
lection should take the place of a revenue
tariff, great money regulator be substitute
ed for the independent treasury, a system
of general internal Improvements should be
adopted, and, from the tone of whiggerv,
one unaccustomed to their Wanting would
have supposed that there was to be no pow
erty, no suffering, no slavery throughout all
our wide extended borders. Well, more
than half of Old lacks Presidential term
has passed, and yet the people have seen
little of the glory of whiggery, not one of
its measures in operation. And the bal
ance of the term promises nothing for the
success of their principles. On the 4th of
March '53 Gen. Taylor will retire from the
Presidency, and the promises of whiggery
will remain all unfulfilled, and may be set
down on the list of unfinished business
About the only business that bids fair to be
finished by the present administration is
that of Galphinizing the Treasury.

PHILADELPHIA, June IL.
A United States steamer arrived at N Or
folk yesterday. Her commander, Tatnall.
passed through Baltimore this morning,
for Washington. He left Havana on the
9th inst.
Before leaving Havana, Capt. T. re.
ceived assurance from the Spanish Au.
thorities that the prisoners captured by
them should be honorablv dealt with until
advices are received from Washington.
The report that the Saranak had been
placed at the disposal Of the autho rites in
Cuba, and that the American Consul had
been arrested, were entirely without foun-
datlon.
The prisoners captured from the late
invading expedition were treated with great
kindness.
The report of the shooting Of five pris.
oners was incorrect. The prisoners are
at Havana, and will be sent home.

"The best ad djournment the Convention
could make would be sine die, and thus
let the old Constitution, the most Republi-
can instrument in the 80 States, run and
be glorifed in the continued well doing,
multiplication, and prosperity of the two
millions of free and happy Ohioans.'
The above paragraph we copy from the
comments of the Cleveland Herald on the
State Journals notice of the proceedings of
the Constitutional Convention of the 5th
inst. which we find in the last Portage Co.
Whig without note or comment. Just
after the election last fall, when the people
of this county decided by a vote of more
than two to one, and the people of the State
by majority of over 30, 900 in favor of a
Convention, the Whig and many of its po-
litical cotemporaries hypocritically claimed
that they were in favor of the Con-
vention, notwithstanding the entire opposi-
tion to the measure had come from them
and their party. We are glad to see them
even at this late hour, begin TO show their
true colors. 1t is great pity, so it is, that
the people were such set of ninnies as to
wish to amend @the most Republican in
strument in the 80 States!" Why didn't
they listen to the advice of whiggery?
F The whig candidate for Governor
made his opening campaign speech short
time ago in Cincinnati, in which he declar-
ed, as the State Journal says, that 'he was
in favor of applying the JeAersonian Pro-
viso to the territories, but if that cannot
pass then he adopts the Presidents plan as
far the best Of those submitted The wings
are exceeding ly fortunate in having can
didate with more than cone idea."
