Alihougli he had just hecn elected to Congrecs, tho oflice holding party determined to withdraw him from Congress and f ut him on the track as their only chance of success. And why was he to succeed? Had he rendered tlia state important services? JVo. He ha3 been in the state only eiht yeais, and seven of those he has heen a federal office holder. AVhy was he nominated then! Reader, we will let vou into into tho secret. The office holders felt satisfied that the state would go for Harrison in IVovemhrr, hut thought it necessary to devise o.rie plan to carry it in Angnst, which they could use hs political capital until after the presidential election. If we can elect a Van Huren Governor paid they, we can cry out that the state wid go for Van Burcn in Novemhcr. that there has heen a change from Harrison to Van Buren here. The people in the east will helieva us too, and it will have a tremendiut effect upon tho presidential tleetion. They all agreed that this could only be eflected by nominating some one who could have management enough to divide the Harrison party. Well, some one suggested Mr. L. of Dearborn, but he was rejected on the score of not be. ing able to carry his own party. Mr. P. of Marion was then named ha cannot go it on the stump, saya soma one. While in suspense, a eertain managing office holder arose and proposed General Howard, stating that if any one In the state could fool the iarrison men out of their votes, he was the man. He was a good election. r, was all thing to aU men, rorjlj cry out no

party while he was a bitter partisan, and withal had a certain grave, insinuating, sanctimonious air nhout him, that would deceive Old ?uck binself. 'He is the man for us then,' was heard in ail directions. Those are the reasons which in. duccJ the Vanites to bring him forward, and this

is pictty much the manner in which he was norninateu. i tie onice noiuers nave neceivtu iii'-in-selves. They took it for granted that the peoj le had no sense, but they are mistaken. The peo. pie have at much sense as they have, and arc not to be caught in such gull traps. All who feel dis. posed to put an end to the present state of things, to produce change in times, ill feel bound, by cverj' consideration of duty to themselves and country, to vote for the Harrison candidate for governor. We give to-day General Howard's speech delivered in the Van Buren convention nt Baltimore this spring, as leported by the Globe, the organ of the Van Buren party at Washing. ton City, and ask every friend of Hanison, and eveiy freeman of this state, if he can vote for the flanderer of their old Governor and General can vote for one who is so far forgetful of the obliga tions of truth and honesty, and of the dignity of his station, as to descend and join full cry with the pack of office holders and 'under pay' editors in denouncing and defaming their old General, the man who stood by them in the hour of dan ger, and in 'times that tried men's souls' who periled his life in defending their wives and children from the merciless scanuna knile of a savage foe. General Harrison a coward? He knew it was false. Harrison's certificates of bra. very are t'oe battle fields of Tippecanoe, Fort Meig", and the Thames. Where '.id General Howard prove his hravcryl No where. He is a general it is true, but, as Corwin said of Crary, he is one of your watermelon generals, he has charged mere watermelons than Eritis.h or Indians. We were amused to hear of a rebuff that a couple of our office holders received tho other day. It seems that they understood one rof the party had turned over, and as a matter of course, waited on him in form to admini-ter sneh appliances as would reclaim him. They wi-hed to know the cause of his change. He frankly told them that he thought the policy of the a Iministration was ruining the country, and he could not conscientiously support it any longer. They told him that the administration had not produced the present distress, but that it was the hanks the t,anUs and went on with a long exhortation, every sentence of which ended with the hanks, excepting the conclusion, which was a recommendation not to des-ert the party, but stick to it right or wrong. lie replied, ho had been deceived long eno'J2'i hy that cry, that sit or seven year ago they told him, that he must oppose the United States Bnk and go in for Stato banks, that the United States Bank was a monster which would destroy our liberties. I believed you, oppo. sed the U. S. Bank and went for State Banks. About three years ago, after the menstrr was kiiicd oiT, and when you could n i longer mirf. a hoh'iv of it, you turned around and told me that I must oppose the State Banks that ("' were ruining the country. Well, although I had said a great many line things of the State Banks, had praised them to the sUies, I turned and opposed them, arnl have V.cen opposing them for the lat three vcars and have been supporting the suh-t.-c-jury bill for the express purpose of prostrati ng them, which our leaders, you know, told us it would do. The whig.? then predicted that the present policy of the administration would banknipt the country. At thit time I did not believe them, and as long a limes remained good, my party feelings prompted me to go with my party, hut sin'-e things have become so bad, I am satisfied that it is to my interest to go for myself and not for the parti as you call it, or, in other words, I am determined not to sacrifice myself and family for no other purpose than to keep a few such men as you in office. With what propriety can you charge the banks wiih being tho cause of the present distress. Have wc not been raising the hue and cry against them for the last three years, been dealing blows heavily and rapidly on them; and now, when they are nearly u,"!CtZ up, you cry out that they are not hurt, but arc only acting possum. Yoc have been acting either the knave or fool for the last year or two, you have either heen pretending to wage war against the banks and have not done it, or have heen warring in sober earnest, and have nearly prostrated them and the country with them. I enlisted in the war under the promise of having gold and silver in abundance, but instead of that you have banished all kinds of money, and now our leaders tell us that it was their intention to put down the banks to diminish the amount of money, and thereby reduce the price of labor anJ of every species of property; in fine to reduce us to the hard money standard of Cuba and Europe, I contracted debts to a small amount last year, when wheat was one dollar per bushel, and now you have reduced it to fifty cents per bushel, it will take twice the amount of property to pay those debts, and before next spring, if your policy is pursued, wheat will be down to 20 cents per bushel, and it will take five times as much property. Vou would then have me sacrifice myself, my fimily, and my neighbors, to keep Martin Van Buren and yourselves in offic, and after having beggared my family, I would have the poor satis faction of knowing that I adhered to my party contrary to my judgment, and to the ruin of my country. Gentlemen, I am not so accommodating. Tha Truth is Sometimes told through misA distinguished member of the Van Buren party, who attended the celebration of the 4th inst. was asked how he liked the oration. He replied, 'that Carnan made a very good speech, but he did'r.t like Ellis' speech at all, it bore too hard on the present administration.

At half past 8 o'clock; according l" previous arrangements, the several Sunday Schools assem bled at their difFerennt churches, and proceeded thence to the Presbyterian church as a general rendezvous, wherethey were addressed by the Rev.

If there is any thing deserving the just cepsure of rommnnitv.it is improper conduct at religious meetings Elevating it may seem In the eyes of some, to scorn and s-off at members of religious societies, in the free exercise of the duties taught bv the Bible, wc can assure them that is an imposition on the public, as well as upon proprie. etv, morality, and virtue, that public opinion ought, and will soon discountenance, if their own consciences do not check them in their miserable career. It is reasonable to suppose that when a man goes to Church, it is with tho intention of hearing tho doctrine there taught explained, and beine benefitted and enlightened by the discourse he intended to hear when he went to the House of the Lord; but it very frequently happens that he takes his seat in a pew in which are already seated three or four well-dressed, respectable looking voung men, whose talking and lavishing is notonly a source of annoyance to him, but shocks the more sensitive part of the congregation throuehout the whole house. These few lines were sugsested by the ungentlemanly deportment of a few voung men. on last Wednesday evening the Methodist Church We hope they will have too mu'h regard for their characters, to act.0 in rutlire.

I.QO& AC Till J VOTE. On or about the first of May, Mr. Chins. of Louisiana, introduced the following resolution in to the House of Representatives as a matter of inquiry. "Resolved, That the Postmaster Gen eral communicate to this House, without delay, the time at which the postmaster it Ilatnn Uotiire Itecame a dffaulterz the ........... j (imCt number, and amounts of the van ous drafts zrhich have been drawn on him, and w'ucli he has refused or neg lected to pay and particularly the amount now due by the said postmaster to the Government: also, all the communication? which have heen written and received in relation to said defalcation, together with all other correspondence which has occur red touching the removal from office ol said postmaster, and of the appointmem of a successor to said officer." This resolution, couched in mild terra, and eminently proper, could scarcely fail to meet the approbation of any representative fit to act a the agent of Freemen.

It was an enquiry into the alledged defalcation of a public officer into an open and an almost established charge of peculation and swindling. Mr. Chins offered the resolution in obedience to one of the highest duties of a representative to protect the Treasure of the Nation from the plunder of those entrusted iih its custody. The Postmaster at Baton Rouge is a reputed defaulter to 3 large amount, has neglected to make his returns li3s appropaiated the public funds to his own use, and stands before the country as a peculator, a dishonest man and a defaulter. In order to ascertain all the facts connected with his transactions, the above resolution was offered, and a motion made for leave to introduce it. A suspension of the rules being required, and that requiring two-thirds of those present, the motion failed bv a vote of 7 to G9. Tho following are the names of those

who voted AGAINST the reception of the resolution. NAYS Messrs. Atherton, T.anks. lieatiy. Albert G. Btown. BurKP, m. O. Butiler, CAKK, Uhapman, iimoni. Coles. Mark A. Cooper. Win. R.

Here is a reasonable, modest, and proper inquiry instituted an enquiry perfectly legitimate an I Gen. HOWARD voted against it! In a representative Government, it is presumed that the information asked for would be furnished; but, in this catisc, it would not suit the Administration to furni!i the information, AND GEN. HOWARD MOST PLAINLY VOTED TO SCREEN 'Y from the effects of the. enquiry! For a gentleman who mad such loud professions of moderation, liberality, and fairnes, before the I?st Au;jn -t election, it places Gen. Howard in a most unenviable light, and shows how a man of tine attainments can sometimes be brought to bow to the mandates of the II RTY DRILL, and play the pander to Federal usurpation. The Administration fears liht. and GEN. HOW A RD VOTES TO SCREEN IT! Is such a man worthy to be Governor of Inniana? Friends of Harrison! do you want such a Governor? Abu 3 2 of Harrison. Not only has Gen. Howard become a supple tool of the Administration, but lie is cr?c of the most vindictive slanderers of Harrison in the Slate. Read the fol lowing article from the "Spirit of '7i" TO THE FRIENDS OF GENERAL HARRISON IN INDIANA. On the eighth of January lat a body of men assembled at Indianapolis, under the name of the "Democratic Convention," nominated TIG Ml AN A. HOWARD for the office of Governor a man unacquainted with the wants and interests of the people a man who has no claims to their support a man distinguished only as an office-seeker during his short residence among us. No individual acquainted with the politics of this state is ignorant of the 'act that a large and overwhelming majority of tho people of Indiana are the friend of General Harrison, the Governor who laid the foundation of our prosperity, the General who dispersed the savage foe and protected the defenceless frontier from the tomahawk and scalping knife. Without the aid of the Ilarrisonians, Tilghman A. Howard never can be elected Governor of Indiana. He is not ignorant of this fact, and without a doubt he will endeavor to wheedle their votes into his support, by the frequent application of "soft sawder," an article with the u.-ie of which he has always seen familiar. That none may be deluded by his deceptive speeches in Indiana, we ask everv friend of Harri-on to read tho speech of this same TILGHMAN A. HOWARD, delivered in Baltimore on theth of May, 13 0. Look at his attempts to ridicule, the supporters of Harrison! Look at his charg" that they arc endeavoring to "gull and deceive the people.'" Look at his insinuation that you are the same party tl at wore "the black cookade!" Look at his charge that you are the enemies of "liberty and equality" and contrast all this with his aitempts now to flatter and deceive you into his support. We copy his speech from the first number of the Extra Globe the special organ of Mr. Van Buren and General Howard cannot, dare not, deny its authenticity. Read his slanders! Hete they are: "Mr. Howard, being loudly called for. appeared, and began expressing his thank ;ir the honor they had done him to ad dress them. He regretted, however, that some more able advocate had not been ailed upon than himself. Those before Uim had not come there with any bade .bout themwith a piece of blue riband nd a ppwtrr medal hung around thei,leeks, lik school boys. They had presented themselves here as plain and hon st Democrats, without any distinctive mark or badce to show to what parly the belonged. They loved equality and sini phcity, like true Republicans, and detest ed any thing and every thing tint wa calculate! to gull and tleceive tho people.

Phis was an old device of the party, who

now wore bine badges. He would to Goil that the farmers, and mechnnies. and men of all other pursuits in the United States, could have sten what he had seen and what he now saw. Here he saw assem bled the young the middled sged, and the old men of the county, 1011 ing from every portion of the land to deliberate concerning the wellare ot the KeptiDiic. Mr. H. went on to say that the term "Whig" as now used and applied, was perverted from its original meaning and use that it was a glorious word in tho days of our Revolutionary ancestry, but then it was used in a different sene from what it is now. There was a time when the term "Whig" meant "sour milk," but now it means "hard cider." Loud laughter. It was a little acidulous at the commencement of the campaign, and would be very, very sour at the end of it in November next. Cheer?. If Democrats did their duty from the present lime until November, they would have nothing to f'ar as to the result. This convene tion had assembled here for the purpose of representing those who were the advocates of liberty and equality of liberty consistent with good order and sound Government. This was why delegates were here not in order to drink hard . . tn 1 1 r ciiler. or wine. 1 ney uau come iirre ior the purpose of sustaining those principles, which bound them together more closelv than a name thoe principle which lie at the foundation of our institutions, and to war against every thin?, the design of which was to undermine ant, overthrow them. He next adverted to the corrupt influence exercised by the banks, and argued that the parties to the present war were the people on one side, and the banking institutionson the other. It had been said that the Loeo-Focos wished to destroy the banks, therefore the whigshad elected a Bank candidate. It is needless to say that the charge was without foundation; they did not wish to destroy them, but to put them on a more sound foundation than thev are at oresent. He was for disconnecting the banks from ihe Goveminent, and favoied the Sub-Treasury sytem. Mr. II. went on 10 remark, that he would not be guilty of the sin of preventing the multitude before him from hearing from others present from all p-.rts of ihe Union. He himself desired to vis it everv part of the Mjnnnen!al City, and see hr improvements, and ihe monuments which she has raised to the valor of her own son", and ihe fame of the great leader of ihe Revolution. He would close his remarks by a few reminiscences. We too, (said Mr. fl.) havn our hero"?, who need no certifie it"s of their valor. Kentucky can boat of one of th "bravest of the brave," now in the ranks, (alluding to Mr. Butler. and 1 have seen a man who followed the fortunes of the Hero of Orleans who was ever in the thickest of the fight, at Emaeckfaw, Enotpchopco, Talidega, the Horse Shoe, and New Orli-an". I saw him twenty years since. Ilislockt were like the raven's wing his cheek wore the bloom of health, mid liis step ivas the gallant warrior's tread. Now, (said .Mr. JI. pointing to General Carro't'3 grey locks,) I see him his head i white with age, but his I.Mirels will be green forever!" Look at General Howard's bae insinuation that the brave Hatrison needs certificates to prove his valor. Look at his compliments showered upon Mr. Car. roll, a man who hnsnpeniv charged Gen eral Harrison with being a "coward"' ?.n "old granny" and has heaped upon htm every abuse and vulgar epithet which language can comm: nd. Look at General Howard's slanders wilful slanders upon the old defender of your country, and ask yourselves if you can swallow such a pill. But to show, still further, the opinions of TILGHMAN A. HOWARD as exprf ss in Baltimore, where he was not seeking voles, we note the following extract from the "Address" of ihe convention of which he was a member: Speaking of General Harrison, itsavs: "Before the contest between Thoma "Jefferson and the elder Adams, in I i98, "he had been already in public life, and "upon the separation of partips on the "leading political questions nf that day, "he became a supporter of the la' ter. General Harrison a supporter of eld John Adams! A baser falsehood never was ullered, an I yet TILGHMAN A. HOWARD is its endorser. Here is another extract from the same address; "He stands confessed as a supporter "of the most obnoxious Federalist meas"ures the alien and sedition laws and "the standing army of the elder Adams." A more wilful and malicious flander upon General Harrison never was breith ed, and yet TILGHMAN A. HOWARD stands as its endorser. Take another: "It is true we might question his Gen"eral Harrison's claims to a place in hi. "history as a great military leader; and on "this issue we might call for the univer"sal judgement of the country.
