fellow, named Lamb he weighed about 240 lbs., was a bravo man, and as good humored as big brave men proverbially are. Lamb had broken down hii Kentucky horsa by his great weight, and was mounted, instead, upon a short, stout, wild Canadian pony from whose sides his long limbs depended almost to the ground, while his bulky frame rose high above the breast looking not unlike an overgrown school buy astride of a rough sheep. When the charge was made, Lamb's pony took fright, and broke into a strain. Lamb pulled, until the bit broke in the animal's mouth, and all command of him was lost. The little pony stretched himself to the work, dashed out of the ranks, oon outstripped all his file leaders, and pushed in advance of tho company. Lamb was no longer master of hii horse or himself, and he was in a quandary. If he rolled off he would be trampled to death by his own friends if the horse rushed upon the British lines with him, so far ahead of the rest, he must be killed. Either way death seemed inevitable tad, to use his own expression, he thought ''he'd j 1st say something they could tell his friends in Kentucky, when they went home." Ho struck both heels into the pony's flanks, and urged him to his utmost speed.
On they drove, some 50 yards in front of
the leading file, Lamb s gigantic person swaying from side to side, and his legs winging in the most portentous fashion the little (Canadian 'pulling foot' all he knew how, his tail straight, his nostrils distended, his ears pinned back, and his shiny eyes flashing under his shaggy
foretop, wilh all the spite and spleen cf
a born devil. Just as he got within a stride or two of the British, Lamb flourished his rifle, and roared in a voice of thunder "Clear the tray, G ( d n you! for r m a coming." To his eurprise, the line opened right and left, and he passed through unhurt. So great was their astonishment at the strange sppirition of such a rider, and uch a horse, moving upon them with such furious clocity, that they opened mechanically at his word of command.
and let him pass. So t-oon as he gained
the rear of their position, Lamb rolled off
on the grass, and suffered his pony to go his own road. A few minutes more and he was with his comrades, securing the prisoners.
V e never witnessed such a unanimity of feeling, and so much zeal as appeared to animate each breast. Determination sat upon the brows o t'e oil soldiers of the west, many cf whom were of the number, and their sons were stirred by the same fire which animated the breasts of their sires. They felt that all hop of 3 redress of grievances laid in their own right of suffrage, and to that they will appeal in a voice that will startle the minions of power from their airy, to seek some lore obscurity, there to hide from the scorn of the son? of liberty who bore oppression, until forbearance ceased to be a a viitue, but rather degenerated into baseness. Dut though they are long in being roused, yet when once their anger is stirred, they quail not until their enemies arc routed, and peace and prosperity ence more visit their long neglected abode. But to return to the Convention. The delegates from tha upper townships, all on horseback, were met at tho suburbs of the town by the band, and escorted them down Water street to Col. Clark's Hotel, where they were joined in procession by the Vincennes delegation, and together marched towards the Court House, preceded by the standard-bearers and the band of music. After the adjournment of the Convention, the delegates marched through some of the prhvipd streets, and were dismissed in ihe same unanimity and good feeding which had distinguished them fio:n the beginning. In conclusion we will add, that the President and three of the Vire Presidents were old soldiers of Gen. Harrison, and the other, one of our most respectable citizens. There now devolves upon the whifs of old Knox an important duly; to lav at i Itall minor ditlerences, and give your undivided support to the nominees of the Convention. Union, conceit and harmony, should pervade all ranks, and if such be the case, mark it, ICT'SFCCF.SS is cer-

We are authorized to announce Elijah
Thorn as a candidate for the office of
Sheriff of Knox ccunty at the August
election. - Dy reference to our first page, our readers will find the proceedings of tho -Old Knox" Convention, held in this place on this day week. Well may we say "Old Knox is moving," for, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather in the morning, the most palmy days of Jacksonism, never could draw together such an assemblage of her sons. The 'bone and sinew" were here men determined to have a change of men and measures men who
have seen promise after promise of the footsteps treader" vanish into thin ait, but on the contrary, men who have bona fide evidence before them that the administration is an open and avowed enemy to western interests, and who now are determined to try one in whom they confided of yore, and wfrc ner once disappointed.
We have recehed the correspondence
between the Secretary of State and th?
British Amba -sudor, v. hicU has jus; been
laid before Ccnt;r!9. W do not in any
way deem it probable that there v. ill be a
rupture between Lowland and the United
Slates, for we stdl have, and ever will have,
too much, faith and confidence in the good
sense ot the American people, to thiol
they will listen to unwiiu suggestion, the aim of which is, to answer political ends,
and not to preserve involute our country's honor. We dislike the agitation of the subject as so. nc- of our contemporaries are in the habit of using it, as if a wai with Hnghnd were a tttfte matter f moon-shinc. Such persons do not think thut our country is 1 . .1 1 ... . .
cire.ijy extracted enough ptuiic credit
hanging upon too elender a thread public confidence almost driven from 'change; a".d the condition of the people in too serious a position already. No, they do not think thus deeply, cUe they would say, wo bhou'd i.ot come to un open rupture with that country with which we
stand in euch pecu'iar relitions. Let those who talk of a war with England with eo much non chulcncc, take a trip to Florida, and try how it vi!l go with 500 Indian-, Ivfvrc ;!.:" S-k 50 cavalierly
about fighting with the most colossal pow-
er on the continent of Lmope.
Gentlemen, keep to the question, and
never mind Old Lng'.and." You can
not make any one believe tat the powers
that be, are tit in any respect, to conduct
any other war than the one thev have now
on hand.
Query. If it takes ri-ht years to w hip
500 Indians, and coat S20.000.000, how
long will it take to whip England, with her 10,000,000 of men, and how much
would it cost? Answer ye lovfis cf par
ty more than o! country.
Huzza! for the old Log Cabin candidate The sweet seent&d popinjay of the In
dianpolis Democrat, for whose benefit we
presenbad last week, is, we fear, like ma
ny others of the party, ''beyond the pow
tr of physic. His vituperative malady
is thought to be irremediable during the
existing power to issue Treasury notes
and the increased ability of office-holders to contribute to the general fund, in the
increased vaiue of properly, labor and pro
ducts which tend to aggravate hia com plaint.
The Democrat having utterly failed to
benefit Van Utiren by such known un
truths, as that (Jen. Harrison is rich, and if he is not, mismanagement is the cause,
adopts another stand. It publishes as ex
traordinary, the amount of Gen. Harris
on s compensation for public services ''in all time," for the United States, si:;ce the
year 1799, up to the last payments i-.
says the sum is near seventy-three thouI 1 ; . . .
Sana dollars, and trom this, with Van Uuren logic, infers tho old General should
be rich!
Now let us think and calculate. Dur
ing upward of forty years, the old patri
ot has received less, averacing the amount,
than eighteen hundred dollars per annum
lut according to the ninny hammy of the
Democrat's deceptive account, he tdiould
from this have become rich!!! Why some
of the friends of the present administra
tion, who are busy slandeiing Gen. Har
rison, have received four times as much of
the public money, aud have never render
ed a tyihe of the service, cither civil or
military. Hely upon it, the popinjay of the Democrat will learn by aud by. he undervalues the integrity and honor of his honest readers, to whom Gen. Harrison was known, when he was "pulling and puking" ui his nurse's arms. We cli4 the following frira the Ma lis
onian, which our readers will please place in contrast with tho Democrat's estimate of Gen. Hairison's receipts from the publio Treasury for "services tendered." "Mr. Van Buren had never foujht a battle nor nride a saciifiee for his country, nor ha ho ever originated or carried a measure through any Irjjii?. tature worthy of an eminent statesman, and yet he ha been paid rut of iho public crib about cfie hundred and forty thousand dollars.' Here is another, from a leading loco foco paper, with the invocation of the Louisville Journal. Mark it, ye sons of the west, and know who sneer at you and your candidate, because you and he can neither ride in an English coach with liveried servant?. tlFrce negioes are almost thr. exclusive occupants of tog cabins !' exclaimed that administration organ the Baltimore Post, in a seurrillous attack upon the life and habiU of the venerable Harrison. What think ye of such insolent vnecrs at your humble but goodly tenements, ye tens of thousands of log-cabin boys of the West ye, whose hand of strength and hearts of fire have carried your country's dominion over a region more extended than the noblest emnirs of tlis Eastern World!"

Another vear has passed away into the
bocom of time, carry ing with it '.he opening, perfection and decay uf nature. To the cold, piercing blasts of Winter, Spring, balmy, invigorating Spring has
succeeded, redolent with lrtshnes and
the various sweets cf nature. Already
are the feathered songsters enlivening the
forest solitudes with their gladioine ivtites
giving earnest that "opening cspnng na waked from her wintry dream has east
aside her icy cirdle, and thrown herself
into the arms of Ceres, w ho huh smi linglv opened them to receive h?r.
Spring is the most interesting season of all the four. It is then, w hen nature has thrown off her mantle of w hits, that
she decks herself in her gayest colors' out-rivaling all art in the gorgeousncss o her apparel. It is then, the forests re
sound with paeans of praise from the feathered choir, whose corals of joyous gladness, irive note to man to be also
thankful to the Bountiful "giver of cverv
good and perfect gift," in having again
permitted him to see the return of anoth
er season of buds and blossom to again
behold the hilhi and valleys clothed in
verdure under the genial warmth of
Spring the ''seed time" preparatory to
the coming "harvest.
Who is it that separates himself from the busy 1 erd of mankind, and wanders
into some distant solitude in early sprin g
but feels its suipassing beauty over all
other seasons of tho vear and an elevation
of soul in beholding the expanding rich
ness of nature, that no other portion of
the year conveys! Around him floats a
thousand difierenldissolving tones of music, that blend in enchanting harmony
renovate tha mind and attune it lo ado
ration. Around him ho sees bursting into bloom every variety of fiower, from the modest violet to the blcshino; ro?a.
I he giants of the forest are putting forth
their leafy covering -the fruit-trees are
covered with variegated blossoms the green grass and herbage is springing up beneath his feet: all, every thing that can
conduce to the comfort or luxury of man
are mcipicntly before Lt:n in all theii
first-budding brightness. All uature is re-
oicing, and m continued contemplation
lis heart expands and wakes to the reali
ty of nature's happiness. His mind casts
oil its burden of care, while it increases
in love for animated nature, and a eofily
teahng influence like some geutla zvph-
er, comes over the spirit, and it is drawn
by a holy feeling to own its dependence,

WILLIAM IILWRY HARRISON', of Ohio, as a candidate for tho Presidency, ui d that we will i ive him our cordial sopporr. 1st. Because, we believe him to be 'Honest, canabij arid faithful,' to th support of the Constitution uf his country. tmd. Because, in his public life ho shown hiuuclf the true friend of his country bound by no sectional feelings he has been willing to do justice to a'!, in supporting fetich measures a would morit conduce to her prosperity

present day, who retire from public life with pock
ets lull of inonev, honestly come by if thev couid
dishonestly if they must, he has retired with clean
bands and free from every stain.
1th. Because, wo believe that tho election of
one who has shown himself, as his Gen. Hatri
son, the true Patriot, lhe accomplished Statesman
and the honest man, will again bring peace and
prosperity to our distracted country, will restoie
ctedit and confidence in the community, and will
again bung us to what we have formerly been, a
free, happy and prosperous people
