overcome any enemy they might find
there; and TO gather up and bury tie
mangled remains of their comrades,
which had been left behind the day be-
fore. To their mutual JOY they fourd on
their arrival, that their fellow soldiers
which they had mourned as dead, or in
captivity, had whipped off the Indians,
and had been waiting long hours-rath-
er impatiently we may suppose-for the
means of leaving for Camp again. AT
ter fully examining the ground over
which the skirnishing had extended.
and after intering tine dead-which, 1
believe. did not exceed two. or at most
three.-the detachment, (having taking
n part of Col. Edwards wheat on boardl

the previous detachment, who all return
ed in high spirits to Camp Avery. In
stead Of mourning, there was Joy in the
Camp that night: and many sat up TO a
late hour. TO hear the visitors recite their
hair breadth escapes. and their deeds of
daring. while contending with a most
resolute and subtle foe. This successful
skirmishing with the Indians, had a
marked effect upon the minds of the
militia in camp. and tended to lead them
AL to wish for another encounter with
the ''British Allies" as they were sneer
ingly called.
How many of the British Allies
were killed or wounded in the skirmish-
ing and defense Of the log house on the
peninsula, was never known; but by
comparing the statements of the parties
engaged in The skrmishes, and of the
defenders Of themselves in their tempo
rary fortress through time of much
danger and great anxiety, it was con
cluded that from eight to twelve Of the
Indians must have been killed. Not a
very sanguinary conflict this, compared
with many others which followed, in the
War of 1912; but it was the first action
in which the militia of Northern Ohio
we're engaged, and showed themselves
The men for the occasion. In my next,
will relate some important Incidents
which followed This action.

This letter, the Nashville, (Tenn., }

of General Jackson.
A prirote letter written by Jackson in

him with cowardice and falsehood. is
shamelessly dragged forth 10 defeat Bu-

AFFAIR RESTS UPON JACKSON

those who have brought il to light for
political effect now, for the first time
They who cheap opPrObrium mountain

they who have dishonored him and de-
graded themselves by publishing the
unfortunate priUate letter Of THE IN
SANELY VINDICTIVE OLD TY-

that, to the last, NO TOUCH OF JUS
TICE OR MAGNANIMITY TO-

THAT HIS ONLY USE FOR
FRIENDS, WAS TO MAKE TOOLS

insulted, because his opinion Of that po-
litical wriggler, James Buchanan, does
not please Patent Democrats.

THREATS, AS A MEANS OF CARRY
ING an ELECTION.

Mr.. Fillmore, in his letter accepting
the nomination. was the first TO threaten
disunion. He has been closely followed
by Mr.. Breckenridge, who, (the Pitts
burgh Gazette says, went out of his way
TO declare that unless the Democratic
ticket was elected, (and he made Vice
President, rerOlution would be solemn
duty. In this neighborhood. the small
fry sIumpers follow in the same track,
and say to their hearers, you mast elect
our candidate, or the Union viii be dis
solved.
The Gazstis says
The same threat appears to be the
staple of all the orators Of the parly-an
evidence, at once. that they anticipate
defeat, and know of no other possible
way of preventing it. The Buchanan
correspondent Of the organ in New Or
leans, the Della, proclaims that it is al
ready arranged in the event Of Fremoht's
election, to call the Legislatures of Viz
ginia, South Carolina and Georgia 10
concer. measures to Withdraw from the
Union before Fremont can G possession
Of the army and navy, and the purse
strings Of the Government and the
South he says. can rely on the President
in the emergency contemplated
Upon this subject the following from
the n. Y. Courier and Enquirer, is quite
pertinent:
Thus it is. Argument failing, ii is
now TO be seen what virtue there may
be in intimidation. Very well, gentle
men so be it. We are perfectly vii

which are already before the American
people, this new one should be added
Whether that part of the Federal Con-

electing President and Vice President is
to be set at defiance and nulliied by
defeated and discontented minoriy. Try

more unreasonable by concessions. The
sovereign power, we care not what il is
that yields to dictation or compounds
with arrogance, is already lost. And,
in this Government the sovereign power
is the will of the people working through

Constitution. There is nothing in the
Constitution that makes John c. Free

The principles of The Republican par.

admit Of no misc construction. They are
emblazoned to the world in the Philadel-
phis Platform and in the letters of the
candidates accepting the nomination

tally the.same. Our fathers by the or
dinance of 's7, which was re enacted
under the Constitution, excluded Slavery
from territory already free it is Just
what We intend to do. They inserted
guarantees in the Constitution that Amer
ican citizens should not be deprived Of
life, liberty, and property without due
process of law-that freedom of Speech
and the Press should not be abridged
that test oaths as condition of exercis-
ing suffrage and holding Office should
not be imposed-that the right of the
people to keep and bear arms should not
be infringed-thai the right of the peo..
pie to be secure in their persons, homes,
papers, and effects, cgainst unreasonable
searches and seizures, should not be yio-
lated-that the right of an accused person
tc speedy and public trial by an impar-
tial jury should not be denied these
guarantees, and others of Ike character
have been set at naught by the Demo- Z
cratic party under this Administration.
and it is the purpose of the Republican
party to vindicate them and reinstate
them in their full pristine force. Thus
they intend to ESTABLISH JUSTICE AND,
SECURE THE BLESSING OF LIBERTY at home;
and BY observing, in external relations
the good faith inculcated and practised
by our fathers, and repelling the doc
trines Of the 0stend Circular. they in
