ISLANDERS upon the character Of General
Harrison and Henry Clay, If re produced
now, would bring blush Of shame upon
the face of the most violent enemy these
great and good men ever had. He at

Mr. Baer said he attended the Wing
Convention at Columbus on the 22nd Of
February. On his return home in COM

Guilty and danger was met with in cross
ing Big Walnut Greek in consequence Of
its being much swollen by heavy fall Of
rain. They succeeded, however, after
swimming their horses considerable dis
lance, in passing the stream and arrived
safe home. After retiring to rest he lay
some time contemplating the dangers he
had escaped, and his providential dsliv-
erance from a watery grave. While thus
rejecting he insensihly sunk into a quiet
sleep. As he slept he dreamed that he
had been drowned in the creek and went
direct to He'll After formal admittance
into the dark abode of sorrow and woe,
he was ushersd into the immediate pres
ence of his Satanic Majesty, who was
seated in large armed chair in the CEN
tire of his vast domain-haviRg in atten-
dance legions of his rebellious associates
with an innumerable company of the
unfortunate sons of fallen Adam, doomed
to interminable servitude, pain, and an
guish in those dreary regions of fire and
smoke when the following dialogue
took place:
Dea.-Well, sir, where are you from
and how came you here
Boer.-I am, sir, from that portion of
the planet earth, calle,: the state Of Ohio.

Depa.-Ah, you were at tho Wing
Convention, then!
Basr.-Yes, sir.
DeVa.-Were there many in attend

Baer.-O, yes. The greatest assembly

literally hid by the moving mass Of peo-
pie, Log Cabins, canoes, ships, steam
boats, canal boats, forts, wagons, horse
men, footmen, &c. The air was filled
with banners, and every door and window
crowded with ladies waving flags and
handkerchiefs - rending the air with
shouts and huzzas for Harrison and their
country. The greatest harmony prevail
ed-they were like a band of brothers.

If the Wings remain united, Van Bu-

support. A disunion must be effected by
lying, Misrepresentation, or any other
means that shall soonest accomplish the
end. (Then calling three or four Of his
little devils to him said. You must go
Immediately to Columbus and scatter the
seeds of disaffection and discord among

Dera.-What is he doing?
Boer.-O, he is doing all that is pos

Statesmans, and stops at nothing for his
party.
