Frem the Indiana Democrat. INDIANA. Home of my heart! thy shining sands, Thy forests and thy streams, Are beautiful as fairy lands, DisplayM in fancy's dreams. Thy sons arc brave and proud of thee, Thy daughters fair and bright As nature's flow'rs that carpet thee, Or stars that gild thy night. Hearts are thine, the kindest, best, That heav'n has given to earth, And brilliant gems arc on thy breast, Of intellectual worth. Free as thy sparkling waters, . Is each heart that throbs m thee; Save to heaVn and thy fair daughters, None ever bow the knee. Greatness of soul, true dignity, And favor'd sons of fame, Are thine, but pride of ancestry In thee is but a name. Home of a thousand happy hearts , Gem of the far wild west, Ero long thy sciences and arts Will gild the union's crest. "Thy skies are bright, thy airs arc bland, Thy bosom broad and free: We need not wave a magic wand To know thy destiny. Great spirits bled and dying gave Thp. stars and stripes to thee;

Thy sons would die that trust to save In pristine purity. s. T. B.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF the company with a most cordial THE THAMES. ! welcome. The number at their Tho friends of general Harbison, dinner amounted to between two in the city of New York, celebrated, j au(j diree hundred, and as the great on the 5th instant, the anniversary ; object of their celebration, as far of the battle of the Thames. Thcas regards the democratic princi: Evening Star gives the following pics they support, was the same as account of the festival: . that of the company at Niblo's, the The Harrison dinner. The 1 whole may justly be set down to the dinner in honor of general William 'account of the hero of the Thames, Henry Harrison, took place yester-;gCn II. Harrison. The cornday at Niblo's garden, according to pany at the saloon retired at an earprevious arrangement. It was, asjiy hour, and we were glad to see, wesaid it would be, an assemblage , mat notwithstanding the abundance of plain, respectable citizens of thc'0f excellent viands and wines, prodemocratic Jefferson school of pol-J vidcd by that accomplished caterer, itics, brought together to do honor 'iViblo, there was no excess or indisto a man whose services to his conn- cretion on the part ol any individutrv lhonrrh vnnntod to the skies innl nf tbn nnrtv. hut on the contrary

We are glad to sec the spontaneous homage of a grateful people towards a retired and unobtrusive citizen, who had no personal power no wealth nor court-favoritism to prop him up, or create around him a fictitious splendor; nothing but his spotless ahd honored name. There were about three hundred persons collected. The great saloon at Ni bio's was spread out with four long tables, most sumptuously provided with every delicacy ot the season. At tlie rear was tne cross table overhung tastefully by the drapery of the star-spangled banner, in gorgeous ample folds, together with the ensigns of France, England, Ireland, fcc.,and a purple banner in form of a scroll, with tho names of all the different states of the union. At the centre of this table, which was somewhat elevated above the rest, sat the president, general Robert I3ogardus, and on either side of him the guests from different states, and the delegates sent to this dinner from the several counties of this state. The vice presidents presided at the extremities of the long tables. Niblo's fine military band were stationed in the gallery. We never saw more heartfelt enthusiasm manifested, and there was scarcely a toast, a sentiment, or remark, that did not contain some warm eulogi VI 1 14 llUli VUlUiilll uvlii v ifhi & urn on the character and services of . . general Harrison. In tho course of the regular toasts being given, which were all followed by loud and repeated cheering and appropriate airs, the cry for Willis Hall, esq;, was so loud, and deep, and univcrsal, that this gentleman was compelled to come forward and address tho company. His speech was a splendid elTort of extemporaneous eloquence, and we shall procure it for publication if possible. A letter was read by Alderman Stihvell, as chairman of the committee of ar rangemcnts, from general Harrison,

full of noble and patriotic sentiments, and resetting his inability to attend the "festival. It was received with tumultuous applause.

The official letter of general Harrison, on the battle of the Thames, was read by 31 r. Blake, and pro.1 n pod a most powerful effect.

Prefatory remarks were also made by the other vice presidents on giving their respective toasts. In the carlv part of the evening 1 deputations were respectively sent ; to and received lrom tne ueniocralic Association of native citizens, who w ere celebrating tho vic5 tory of the Thames at Euterpean I hall.

Towards the close of the evening the Democratic Association marched up in a bodv and were received by civimr a wholesome direction 10 public opinion. GENERAL HARRISON". The follow ing letter from general Harrison, was received at the late celebration at New York: Cincinnati, 21th Sept., 1S35. Gentlemen : I arrived in this ciiy last night, from an excursion to the shores of lake Erie, to witness the commencement of an important work ol internal improvement, and this morning your letter of the 11th instant w as delivered to me. I as sure you, gentlemen, that I duly appreciate the distinguished honor which the citizens of New York confer upon rnc by the invitation, of which you arc the organ, to attend their celebration of tjie anniversary of the battle oi the Thames, and I greatly regret that it is not in my power to accept it. If there were no other obstacles, (and there are others) the shortness of the lime between this and the dav of celebration, would not permit me to make the necessary preparation,and afterwards accomplish the journey in season. I must rely upon you, therefore, to make for me a suita ble apology to the citizens of your patriotic city, tor being obliged to decline the intended honor, so far as it regards personal attendance. Enough of honor, however, remains to me from the circumstance of your having selected this victory to r e honor, from many others of trans cendent glory to our couutrv, in the achievement of which it was not my good fortune to participate. Without referring to the relative merits of this victory, either in relation to its effects upon the public intcrest,er as an exhibition of mere military arrangement and courage, there is one view in which it may be considered, which gives it claims to the attention of the statesman as well as to the people of the United States. Those who gained it were not soldiers , by profession

but volunteers from the mass of the inhabitants in which every occupation, art and calling had its representation. How forcibly does this circumstance remind us of that glorious epoch of the most glorious of the ancient republics in which ev ery citizen was a soldier, and eveerv soldier well understood and faithfully performed all the duties and obligations oi ine citizen. This was the true source of Roman liberty. How could an army of slaves, however trained, however ably commanded, subdue a nation 1 frppmen? Bv what CM UlSVi"' - . arts could men be cheated ot their liberties who never for a moment entrusted to others the performance of dutiesappertaining to themselves, and who never failed to call to a ri gid account the temporary agents ot their authority. In compliance with custom, gentlemen, I would offer you a sentiment for your celebration, but as I have none at this moment at my command, which would be appropriate, I must be contented with presenting to you a name. It is, however, a name endeared to every American bosom, 'and can not fail to produce reminiscences ofsentiments the most important to our institutions. A name that has designated a character fertile in all the qualifications which adorn the stations in which he was placed, and which, if delineated by talents adequate to the task, would exhibit a page of moral beauty not surpassed by the far-famed narratives of of the Chrcronian biographer. Like them, it would contribute to plant the seed of virtue and patriotism in the youthful bosom. Like them, kindle the devotion of the doubting and wavering statesman, nnd ndd oven a new imoulse to youthful chivalry itself. I request of you, gentlemen, a libation to the memory of Isaac Shel by- " To yourselves, gentlemen, permit me to offer my most grateful acknowledgments for the kind feelings which you have been pleased to express for rnc. I am indeed proud of tho approbation of men long distinguished lor their devotion to republican principles. From your fellow citizen, W. II. Hakrisox. From the Ohio Review. THE FALLS.

The starch-collar-ed dandy puts up his linen in his portmanteau or vahce, the book worm stows away Ins musty vol nines in his trunk, and off they go to Niagara lalls. Well, Niagara falls is a spectacle; but pardon our dogmatism, there is too much same ness about it and one don't like sameness either in nature's prose or noctical works. At Niagara falls there is one eternal monotony of tumble, tumble, roar, roar, enough to frighten the very d ahem! IVo such fliinff here.

" , c j ...J, , V duced by the wedge and screw the power is. given iiom me center, uy a genue circular motion, increased by a leverage and weight and when worked from a point or center, thepower is incalculable. Tho revolving lever A have applied in various forms and to various i purposes. The model, now at the Mechanics' Instrtnte, in Cincinnati, Ohio, for public inspection, is what J term a single press or stand,., and will serve for pressing oil, cotton, tobacco, dry goods, flour, lard, cheese, &c. The impression on coin, and the seals of the several public ollices, can bc made with the greatest precision and uniformity. When this press is properly regulated, the impression will bc the same every revolution. In common the wheel is not required to perform a" full revolution, unless the piston is to be driven out its whole length, and then it may he done to great advantage on elastic substances,, for it moves very quick. As the substances becomes condensed, the po er can be given from a point or center at any moment. I intend to show the revolving lever used to advantage in sawing, morticing, and pumping.

Mt!Js ot various- kinds can be constructed on small streams; and with the advantage of revolving lever-pumps, the water can be return- z ed, and only lost by leakage, absorption or e- Jl vaporation. A press I am af present construct Jr in::, works twelve pistons, andean besed to. great advantage, particularly in pressing' elastic substances. Twelve bales can be pressed at one and the same time, and will be found worthy the attention of the cotton planter. A press for moulding and making-brick, with the mill attached for tempering the cloJp iso constructed as to numo water, till the

moulds, raise the valves, and cast ofF twelve brick lit for the kiln every revolution. The counter scale now before the public for inspection, is plainly constructed; when regulated to a certain amount the weight isO CD not required to move, the pointer or hand shows the amount (of the article weighed)-on the index. The difference between the counter scale and the press scale, is, that the weight of one is stationary on the beam of one and slides on the other. Eacli can be regulated to weigh to any amount, with the greatest precision. Should my fellow-citizens in noticing- the foregoing statement, deem it worthy their at ' tcntion, and be willing to assist in bringing the benefits and advantages (which may be fderived therefrom) to the points and objects stated, 1 shall with pleasure receive and at- . tend to any communication from a respetable. source, on the subject: And remain, with sincerity, theirs, &c CHARLES LESIIER.
