After the letter, tVwtrrf -auwVf, Esq I prefaced the introduction of a letter from Co, j Johnson with a few very appropriate and eloquent remarks. The CoP, letter is a common ti ace affair eridanllr wiro.wUH In .rt ..non ! Indiana voters, lie says he -'was a member of Congress when Indiana was a mere territory." What a most remarkable fact! That ho "voted to admit her into the union as a3tate.'' What an immortalizing vote ! How patriotic tha Col. jrjust have been ! ! !! concludes by informing the committee who addressed him, that his public duties" and "private concerns" prevented his attendance. What a pity! Then came a Uttar from the Honorable Ratlin" Itoouc, who, from his toast, still wears the collar. Several othar letters were read, from various distinzuiihcd gentlemen, and many toasts drank. The whole want off, we suppose, as such things should, without any other feeling other than of the. most pleasant character. The following volunteer toasts almost ' ,: j - 1 1 Annihilated Col.

This is not all we think Davi9 might with as much propriety and equal truth, have dubbed Colonel Dick a second .Mars, god of war; or Lycurgus, the Spartan Lawgiver; or Lucifer, son of Jupiter and Aurora; or Longinus, the Greek critic; or Demosthenes, the Athenian orator, as a "Leonidas " Why not "glorify" all together; and why in

The Western Sun has, in contempt of the ' ballot box, already defeated Gen. Harris on! and the Indianapolis Democrat has proscribed most every newspaper in the State devoted to Haiiisen, to freedom, and to the general welfare. This might have been expected; and we only wonder that the "Plough Coy" would ask the "Democrat" for evidence of any party imposition. The facts announced in the Plough Boy, call forth the Democrat1 ire. The editor remarks in his notice of the Democrat "We recognize the "banner" of truth, only as our standard. We wear no "collar," nor do we acknowledge party dominion or caucus dictation. And we venture to say that none of our readers, (save, perhaps, the editors of the Democrat,) liavo discovered the "banner" of any individual, or party, waving over the "Greeneastle Plough Boy." We labor tn sustain principles, not to acquire "spoils'' and bow to no sceptre, save that of our country and ourGod. We call upon you to point out the article or articles, in the columns of "the Greencastle Plough Boy'' to justify your assertion, or acknowledge yourselves capable of attempting to palm a falsehood upon the People, iu order to excite party prejudice against us."

The Better Currency The Globe has been goaded to attempt an Answer to the questions of Gen G reen, re-published by us week before last; and the answer is a virtual abandonment of many of the notions which the Globe promulgated heretofore, to bewilder the people. The Telegraph exposes the answer, and having published it by request of the Globe, ask places of deposite with many who have bad memories, we take the following extract fiom the last exposition of the Telegraph, and may follow up the discussion. ..Extrac, from the Globe, which Appears written by him, we are not certain w hich, but it is orthodox for the party 1 J TT -(,n npllp MrWir i lKOr A TIT LIlS .,tT -, s " Happily the greatest supply of gold emigrants rQiov ing to that great region will all car ry gold in preference to either silver or T,je ,awJ office9 u( become re. r ' , s . , , cei,tac,cs aod eservoirsoi gold, whence it will be distributed by the government disbursements through the military, the surveying, and the Indian departments; .

The satellites of the Bank alone, to show their subjection to their liege monarch, will repine at the loss of paper." Globe. How completely has experience falsi fied all this! And the article in the Globe, which answers some queries of ours, shows how, in the very nature of things all that is said in the above extract, and in the positions taken by the Globe, lienton, Taoey , and Co., must be false. We now come to the question and answers. We shall take paragraph by paragraph in succession, and show the rt'gtnarole and nonsense in them, a well as the virtual acknowledgment of the truth of what we have all along said on the subject, and the inconsistency of what it says now, with what it has heretofore been saying.

When such a man is presented ae a candidate, aud under such cii cumstances, il is no wonder that he should gain ground daily in every sectiou and quarter of ihe Union. The time is near at hand, when every voter will have the opportunity of enj lying the privilege of voting for the Chief Magistrate of this happy country, w hich is certainly one of the greatest blessings

guaranteed undera Constitution oT a country of freemen. It is not only a great privilege and blessing, but it is also a highly important and interesting duty. Every voter, whoever he may be, that leels an interest io his country's welfare, should halt, ponder, and consider well, before ha maiksout his couise for the next presidential election, and if he should think one man more honest and better qualified than another to execute the duties of Chief Magistrate of the nation, he is bound by every piinciple of justice to himself, his country and posterity, to select that man as the one deserving of his suffrage.

Let the only question a voter will ask in determining his vote, be "Is the candi date honest? is be capable?'''' Should that be the couise to be pursued by voters generally , we feel confident Harrison will be the choice of the free and independent voters of his country. Ji is time, high time, that the people should take the flection iu their own hands, and no longer be governed by a factious few, who appear disposed to select the presidential successors, and thiust upon the people by the way of a caucus nomination, men." who would stand no leartl.Iy chance un-nppoi ted by the Horn J . til" " ' i i i i- . . gradually siealing fiom the many to the lew, and there is nothing, in our humble opinion, more dangerous to the liberties ,nd the union of our country, We have 'now four candidates before us; let each candidate be placed in the balance of every voter's judgment, and niter being iv( ighed, determine w Inch is most desei ving of the support of his countrymen.

Extract from an article tn the " Oakland ''lation

rra'g" on "Signs of the Tunes."' The monarchies of Europe ate anxiously look-l ing at us, pleased with the alrnot auie anticipations that their predictions will be verified, and thai the speedy down tall of' this vast republic will prove to a determination, that man is incapable of eelf-governmeut. We confess, while tn

deplore the fact, that they have tnu. h reason for these anticipations. Why should they not believe that this government will ere long become like cne ol them when they see mure than a king' ty prerogative usurped by our rtpublican president? When they hear him, hailed as "the greatest and the best?" When they tee "his jiarty", w hich he has mainly created by a bountiful distribution of rewards to all such as would cry amen to his measures iu petty intriguing and electioneer ing schemes to insure the election of his successor, whom he has virtually appointed, to manage the hHm of state, when he is obliged to letire'.--We lepeat it, those who have reasons, whatever they may be, to wish for the overthrow of our present form of government, have much reason to anticipate such a result. The whole mai.cuvte of the getting together, and the proceedings of the late Baltimore convention, 1 perhaps, one of the most unequivocal demonstrations of the pilch of impudence to which men may be led, solely by the impunity w ith w hich they have before praiiced all manner of intrigue. The President appoints Martin Van Bnrent to succeed him iu the presidential chair---foi th w ith a convention is mustered, with all the display imaginable; and to give it a more imposing appearance, this conten. lion is termed J'ational anil vhat is the object of this assemblage? To confirm the appointment, merely, of our republican president? And of what inaleiials i this convention composed? The follow ing may serve as a specimen: The state ol Tennessee, was found not to be represented it would not do to pass by such a stale as that a certain Mr. liucker. a

,ean, doctor, who had been once in Trnjnf g.eP WHI f,,tnd in Baltimore, who k Hid ly volunteered his services to represent the absent state, was received ns a "de'r. 11- .1 1 ..t.... 1 , inov n-ing useu 10 ine u.i... - ihor lb flortuon of the "lllCCeJ snr . 1.

In short, corruption, the most debasing. ieu !resiuriii.
