From the N. Y. Evening Star. THE CELZHKATIOrJ. The people yesterday assembled in their strength to celebrate the anniversary of the battle in which Harrison took his first practical lesson in the art of war, under the gallant Wayne. The heart of the veteran soldier and statesman would have leaped in his bosom, as it did forty-six years ago, when his commander thanked him for his good service in the hour of conflict, could he have heard the enthusiastic expressions of regard and affection with which his name was yesterday coupled bv thousands of his fellow-citizens in New York.

Long previous to the disignated hour of meeting an immense crowd had assembled within tlio Battery enclosure. About four o'clock the principal part of the Tippecanoe Clubs and other Harrison Associa

tions preceded by a long cavalcade of citizens on horseback arrived, bringing thousands in their train to swell the gathering. In consequence of the excellent arrangements of the Giand Marshal, (J. N. Reynolds,) and his aids, the utmost ordet was preserved. The procession, which was more than a mile in length, presented a splendid appearance, from the number of banners, emblems and devices, borne by the different Clubs. We counted one hundred and fifty of these; many of them new and made expressly for the jt occasion. Having inarched once mound the green, the Associations formed in front xli, of a temporary stage, t reeled for the ae- " ' comuiodation of the officers and speakers of the day. xV. few minutes before the

o'clock, J. N, Reynolds, Esq., President.1 of the Central Tippecanoe Club, mounted the platform, and was followed Ly James Brooks, Eiq., of the Express, with the venerable Hag borne by Ensign (afterwards General) Tipton, at the battle of Tippecanoe. Mr. Brooks, who had been commiesioned by the survivors of that conflict, and on the ground where it was fought, to present the banner to the Tippeeauoes of New York, fulfilled the duty which thus devolved upon him in a short hut eloquent address, (which will be found below.) and placed liie frhot-torn and slashed reuc in the hands of Mr. Reynolds, amidol the loud acclamations of the people. Mr. Reynolds responded on behalf of the Tippecanoe Clubs and Associations, m a speech, cf which we give the substance in another column. Previous to handing Hie banner over to Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Diooks unfurled it, and never did we hear Irom human hps, tueh a roar of actlauiaiiou as lhu which burst forth from the vaal concourse, as he waved the soiled burning aloli and pointed to the marks of deudiy suite which it exhibits. Thai t-hout must have been heard at the CustomJIousc, nay, we are inclined to think ii reached the ears of the clerks in the Central Post OJJice. No doubt it grated harshly on official nerves. We were wromr in stating, as we did the other day, that Hie fhg was ban led to Mr. Brooks on the battle held of Tippecanoe, by a son of Gen. Tipton. It was presented to him by Polk, Esq., then a postmaster in Indiana but not now. lie has recently been displaced no doubt for that very act. After the ceremony of presentation was over, the Clubs and oilier associations moved in pioeession from the ground, beating in their midst the Tii'tox BanrvLK. The vvlnde affair went off gloriouslySuch enthusiasm we never before witnessed; it was a perfectedWon of popular feeling. The audience which we cannot be far w rong in estimating at l-,-000 was of the right sott; a large proportion being the real working democracy of our city. Affection for General Harrison and distaste for General Ruin, are doing wonders for the rood cause heie. Chapman will have but little to "crow" over in the Em pire city next November, or else we mis lake the " signs." IYIr. Broolis' Address en Presenting- the Banner. Mr. President and my fellow citizens of the Thmccanoe Clubs of A". Vork: i hold in my hand the Flag which bore a conspicuous pait in the Battle of Tippecanoe, Nov. 1811. In May last, in presence of some.3 ),0:0 people, assembled on the Battle Ground, 1 was eommiasioncd by the few surviving sohlieis of the memorable day, to bear this Flag to NewYork Citv, to display it before the Tippecanoe Clubs here. I now obey the command of these venerable men with a joyous satisfaction. I bring here a pioneer flag, of the republic, which the West most tenderly cheiUhcs, for it has led the citizen soldiers of the republic over rivers, through swamps, and athwart prairies, amid the howls of innumerable savages, and in spiie of the rifle and tomahawk, to dominion and empire in the Western wilderness. This iiag was borne to the battle field of Tippecanoe by a company under the command of Captain Spencer, and the organ through whom it was presented tn me in May last was the venerable w - J Jude Polk of Indiana, a connection of Cantain Spencer, whom 1 regret to see has been since lemoved from the office of Postmaster, probably for thus presenting this fhur. certamlv for being a friend of iM. Harrison. The position which this Flag had in the battle, in the company of

li

army, and the slaughter around it was terrible. The Battle Ground of Tippecanoe much resembles that part of our Park which is on this (the Battery) side of the City Hall. It is on an elevation, the Broadway side, if I may so call it, defended by a stream with sleep banks, where the army got their water, the Chatham street side by a swamp, beyond which was the Prophet's Town, where the Prophet sat chanting during the fight ; while tho City Hall side was well guarded with men sleeping on their arms, anil on that part which comes almost to a point, was stationed the company of Captain Spencer. The Ensign who bore this flag was Ensign Tipton, recently deceased, a Tennesseari by birth, who started from home with only his axe for a patrimony, and who subsequently became a Senator in the Congress of the United States, and one of the most distinguished men in Indiana. Of him the anecdote is narrated we see in the public journals, where Gen. Harrison is represented as riding up in the heat of the Battle, enquiring of the young Tipton, Where is your Captain?" "Dead! sir." "Your Lieutenant?" 'Dead! sir." "Your Second Lieutenant?" "Dead! sir. "Your Ensign?" lit stands before you!" where Tipton then stood holding and defending this very flag, but so covered with dirt and so besmeared with blood, that General Harrison scarcely knew him. "Hold on," said Harrison, for a moment longer I will reinforce you," and he rode off, and led up there the company of Captain Robb by which time, or soon after, of the 75 men under Captain Spencer, there were only ten or twelve left not killed r wounded; and in this company, on that point of conflict was this flair. Now, Mr. President, in the name of the forty or fifty old soldiers, almost the only known survivors of that battle, who ca.no from ail parts of the West, in May last, to confute, on their own Battle Ground, the falsehoods circulated about their old and beloved commander, 1 present this flag to the Tippecanoe Clubs of New York. Here Mr. Brooks unrolled lilt dig-J ou see, fellow citizens, it is an a0ed as well as a holy banner. It is pierced with bullets. It is rent -and siahed with the tomahawk. It is clotted with blood. The rudely painted eagle upon it, if it bears no tribute to Western art, speaks loud for Western valor. "Take this flag," said the old soldiers of Tippecanoe, as they presented it; "take it to New York, as a worthy companion of the Stars and Stripes, your commerce has borne victoriously over the ocean; unfold it before your gallant population, and te'd tlitm in our name, here is a living, a speakincr witness of the valor of our old commaimer, for wherever that flag was, 'iC was. The scene as they entrusted this flag to your protection was one of the mod afectiug 1 ever witnessed. In their Log Cabin erected upon the Battle Ground, they embraced it reverentially, and the tears rolled down their cheeks as they fervently kissed it, one and all, for they felt they were parting, as it were, with their heart's blood, "But wc part with it," continued they, "because the East knows but little of the early perils of the West, and because the East may believe some of the innumerable falsehoods against one of the bravest heroes of the West. They cannot believe them though," they added "when we send such testimony as this, and when we speak, as we fchall speak at the ballot box from the Hoosier State." The) have already spoken. What a voice it i! How affrighted, shiver liom it all the hosts of power? How tumble pride, and arrogance, and even hope! In view of this the old soldiers bs.de me (prophetically bade ine.) when the last campaign of their old General was ended, and he was seated as President in the White House at Washington, to take this flao- there, to their old commander, and in their name, to request him to deposit it amo.:g the honored trophies of the Government. I promised faithfully to execute all their commands. 1 promised more: to escort it there with the Forty-two Povnukr vote of New York to honor it! Shall it be done, Tippecanocs of NewYork? Aye, aye, aye, and cheers from the immense multitude, who made the air ring with their shouts. Then let it be done. I giv e you the flag that never knew defeat under Harrison, neiliier at Tippecanoe against the forces banded by the genious of Tecurnseh, nor on the Maumee or the Thames against the disciplined legions of Britain. 1 trust it to you to plant this old eagle in Washington. There is a destiny in it that will lead the way. I:Ir. Hcynold's Keily. Sir In the name, and on behalf of the Central Committee, the Tippecanoe Clubs and other Harrison Associations of this city, I accept, and shall hand over to their keeping, this venerable relic, which you, sir, had the high privilege and honor of receiving in trust for them from the patriotic aiul brave of their kith and kin on the ever glorious battle field of Tipp.canoe. Of the history of this flag, I need not speak; for it is legibly written in those rents and gashes, inflicted by the rifle ball and the tomahawk. The conflict was hand to hand and breast to breast in the,

WTJUUWllUiMCRtT

strife where this banner was thus mutilated. The attacking for? read hepn assured by a voice he deemed prophetic, that he had but to strike and conquer, and he rushed to the strife with exulting yells in the full confidence of victory. But the omen proved a lie. The mad fury rekindled by the ravings of an Indian juggler, could not prevail against the calm intrepidity with which the coolness, skill and bravery of Harrison had inspired his troops. The confidence of reason was pitted against the madness of blind enthusiasm, and afier a fierce and bloody strife the former conquered. In the hour of deadly peril the hero who bore this flag saw his leader by his side, and heard his voice clear and calm, as if givingorders on parade, bidding him maintain his post. The gallant Tn'xox felt from that moment that the fight was won, and grasping this glorious ensign with a firmer hand, wrestled on with the foe, until the welcome shout of victory sounded in his ears. But more than local associations are connected with this flag. Upon this frayed and warworn bunting, in itself but a painted rat:, are imprinted the stripes and Stars, the badge of our glorious Union, and there, too, is the eagle, the emblem of our freedom and our power; the bird of ample wing and undazzled eye, whose instinct it is to soar. In every conflict of the revolution and of the last war, whether it was on sea or land that we joined battle with the foe in defence of freedom and honor, there waved a banner like this. Warren had it at Bunker Hill; Stark had it at Bennington, Marion and Shelby had it at King's Mountain, Greene and Sumpter hail it in the South, Washington stood beneath its folds at Trenton, and other blood-stained fields; Lafayette, the Young Eaglet fcof Prance, who soared from ihe Royal nest to fight the battles of Liberty, and saw a nation's independence consummated on the plains of York Town, stood in its ennobling shadow side bv side with the "Father of his country;" Decatur, Hull, Stewa;t, Perry, Biddle, Portei, Dowries, Jones, Crane, Ridgely, Warrington, Wadsworth, Ballard, Smith, Gregory, Armstrong, and other gallant officers of the Navy, friends of Harrison, beneath that starry symbol, conquered the hitherto invisible "ruler of the waves" on her own element, and planted the ensign of a sovereign people over the haughty flag of Britain that lor a thousand years had streamed triumphant in both hemispheres. Those -ame stripes and stais floated in the smoke of Jackson's cannon when he wreathed his brow with glory at New Oilcans. Scott kept them aloft in honor, and added new lustre to them at Lundy's Lane. Brown, Gaines, Porter, Eustis, Van Rensselaer, Miller, Townson, Clinch, friends of Harrison, and otiier soldiers of the last war, charged up to the British Bayonets, and knew wo fear beneath the stripes and stars: Harrison, the prudent, the humane, the brave, tiie betrothed of victory, who navtr lost a battle, fought beneath that standard sheet aiTippecanue, Port Meigs, and the Thames. Never did it know degradation while in his jealous custody; he kept its stars burnished, and all its stripes unsullied. Can we wonder then that thy people are proud of him? Can we wonder at the scene of enthusiasm which ensued when this very flag, borno by the gallant Tipton at Tippecanoe, was unfurled on the old battle-ground, in the presence of thirty thousand freemen who were there to welcome it. That scene you have heard eloquently described by one who had the honor to be an actor in it. The shout that went up when that lla" was loosened to the breeze, rolled far along the banks of the Wabash, was echoed back by the father of waters, and, methinks I have to-day heard it reverberating along the shores of the Hudson, in iSouruh thai swell As the voice of a mighty river 'linn valley anil mountain, fn.m forest and dell, ' TU Liberty's triumph 'tis Tyranny's knell, 'Tis the voice of a I'kople nwakrtnr ti tell That the land from misiulc they'll deliver. The day we have chosen to unfurl this standard here, is memorable in the historv of our country. The war of the Revolution was over and the King's forces had withdrawn from the States bordering the Atlantic. The great delta of the Mississippi and its tributaries, from the Lakes of the Nordi to the Gulf of Mexico in the south, lay, with slight interruptions, in the peimeval solitude of nature, A few settlements had been made by the log cabin boys of the west. Those settlers were exposed to the tomahawk and knife of numerous tierce and vindictive tribes, late allies of the British crown, and still banded and led on by British agents against the border settlements. The successive defeat of llarman and St. Clair, placed in jeopardy almost every settlement west of the Alleghanies. Wayne w?s selected to roll back and hold in check this wave of savage warfare. A gallant corps was enlisted. The mountains were passed;the Ohio descended, and in the fall of 1703, the army marched from the banks of the Ohio, near where the Q een city of the west now stands, to Greenvile. I he yoathful and gallant Harrison, nurtured in the school of the Revolution, spring-in"-from a home of ease into the arms of peril and hardship, ha J now joined the,

army, already obtained the confidence ofj

his Commander, and received the api : i poiuwuem oi ins an. i By the end of June, 1791, the army of Wayne wes in motion. The enemy re-1 tired before him. J One the 20th of August, this day 40 vears ago, near the Rapids of Miami, thej British and Indians formed in order of battle. The attack was instantly made.j Harrison was ordered to assist in forming the left wing of the army; which he per-J formed in a manner that elicited the warm approbation of his General. Throughout the action, which wras in fact the closing battle of the Revolution, he was found wherever duty called him, bearing from post to post the order of his commander, and "exciting by his example the troops to victory." Thus did Harrison commence his eventful career. Time will not permit i me to portray the services of the States-! man and Hero from that day to the prL1" serit. It is enougli to say what no man who has a character for honor and veracity to lose will deny, that he has ever been found equal to the responsible stations he has filled, always obedient to the aws and faithful to the Constitution. A man of the people ho has rallied with them when 'war's shrill clarion sounded,' and the battle won returned to the plough. The clorious redeemed west, the map upon which the sane can dwell with so many patriotic emotions, until with the seer of old he is ready to exclaim, Visions of glory spare my aching sight! Ye unborn ages crowd not on my soul!! has been the scene of his principal toils. Hut his fame is of no locality. Here as there a grateful people arc its conservators. It is the people's work. They have called him from the plough to be their candidate fr the Presidency; and wisely have they taken the matter into their own hands. Stand back ye hired Jannissaries of the Executive, and cease to interfere in this struffirle between Martin Van Buren and his office holders on the one hand and the people on the other; for this battle f r freedom should be decided by the militia, not by the standing army. Do ihese shouts, this enthusiasm offend your e3rs be it so far preferable is the upheaving and tumultuous waves of liberty to the calm of desnoti-m. Your master is on his trial. You :ire interested, and therefore incompetent witnesses in his behalf. 'Unsafe adv isers fr the people.' Go eive back Your commissions before the spirit of manhood is dead within yon. The servile tenor by which they are held are unworthy of freemen. ain will be you struggles in favor of your patron, for "The people are corning from vale and f o:n mountain, To j )in the leave kind of the fea'.'less mid free. Which swells as the stream from the leaf .sheltered fountain, Grows wide and more wide aj it sweeps toward:? the sea." From the very hour of Harrison's nomination at Harrisburg, he has been borne along in a full tide of triumph. Every where the people have uprisen in a spontaneous impulse, and Itis cause is tJicir cause. Look at the mighty gatherings unprecedented in this or any odier country, by which his claims has been sanctioned. The nation has moved in this business. While there has been ex rem difficulty, in spite of the dicipliueof party to gel together a few hundred ol Mr. Van Buren's adheranls, for the purpose of making demonstration in his behalf, the hard handed yeomanry left the plough in the furrow, the sickle in the ripened grain, and rushed together in thousands and tens of thousands at the bare announcement of a Harrison gathering. Look at the Baltimore Convention, to which every State and Territory, from the Lakes to the Atlantic, and from the Rocky mountains to the St. Lawrence, sent the noblest of her young men look at the meetings of the old soldiers of the west, who reanimated by the recollections of the past made their way through the more asses, climbed mountains, and fouled streams, to testify to the merits of their old commander on the fields where he had led them to glory. Think of the fifteen thousand at Springfield, the thirty thousand at Tippecanoe, the thirty-five thousand at Fori Meigs, and the vast assemblages in this State and in New England. In the South, too, the people have met in multitudes such as no man ever before beheld assembled between Mason and Dixon's line and the Atlantic coast. Who can look upon these signs, and doubt that Harrison is the popular choice? But, say the enemies of the people, this is all deceptive show, the ballot box will tell a different tab; wait, wait till that speaks. The ballot box the oracle of liberty lias spoken it is speaking now. Hear ye not the shout of regenerated Indiana the roar that answers it from Kentucky the io paeans of North Carolina the exulting cry of long estranged Alabama. Heard ye not the cheers that came on the eastern breeze from old Connecticut and the staunch Rhode Island, and the echo that rolled back from the battle ground of New Orleans? The ballot box has spoken, but its voice as yet is but a faint whisper to the tones of thunder in which it will give utterance to a People's A-ill in Movcmbcr next.

Where now are the base and craveii slanderers of Harrison? Where the caitiffs that bore his effigy in mockery through the streets? Where is Uronk Van Buren who hung out one at undertook, to curry favor from his relative at Washington? Make way there give the free passage let them approach this flag, bearing the gash of the tomahawk and the rent of the rifle ball, by which Harrison stood when the battle raged hottest, and let us see if they can look upon it with unblushing cheeks. Then "be the dead awoke," and when thev have branded Wayne and Shelby, and Erie's gallant son, and James Madison with falsehood let them once more proclaim Harrison a corv aid, and depart in safety on their winding way to Washington, lit recipients for Executive favor. Friends of Harrison and Reform, take this flag sent to you by the gallant sons of Indiana bear it high uplifted in Heaven's free air on to a bloodless victory, using no other weapons than the power of reason and the omnipotence cf truth. With the great mass of our opponent, practice forbearance and use moderation in the hour of triumph. Let us ever bear in mind that the people may for a lime be misled, but are never intentionally wrong; that a large proportion of our opponents arc honest at heart and patriotic in principle, but led astray by a heartless Executive and his jorrupl stipendiaries, who have stolen the robes of Democracy in order to s'rike down under that disguise the Liberties of the People. Robespierre, Danton and Murat claimed to be true worshippers of Freedom, while their guilhuinps were diipping with the best blood of Franco. Friends of Ilariison and Reform, rteserve this flag it is yours until the Empire State has answered the shouts of Indiana, with her triumphant hurrah." then bear it to the Capitol at Washington, to be deposited in the National Archieves, the trophy alike of the triumphs of our arms and the moral triumph of the People.

The Bill of Costs. Reader! are you a poor man? Have you a wifa and children who are dependent upon your daily labor for support and education? If yes, before you vote for Van Buren just yet his standing army bill, and surrounded bv that family you 1 vo, examine its provisions, and asr-ert tin the deep injuries it mav inflict upon thorn as well as yourself. In the 10th section you will find that 8 00 l men are to be drafted from Indiana. You are as apt to hedrafteJ as any other man. When drafted what must you do? In the 1 1th f-ction of the bill you will find tint, if drafed as dragoon you must furnish yourself with the following ai tides. Wc affix the pnbah!e cost or each. A trood horse at least 1 1 hands hijih Saddle Uridle Valise i'rcast-plate Oi upper A pair of boots Spurs l'istols A cartouche box 00 (0 15 (M :5 oo i o I 00 1 ((' 0 00 1 00 0 00 2 CO Whole amount 81 17 00 Thus von see that besides your wearin": apparel, your accoutrements will cost you about Sll7. If you are lo.i poor to purchase these articles what will be the consequence? The 2-tth section provides that llmse who do not perform the duties required of them shall be liable to be fined by a court martial. You will be lined lor a failure, and if unable to pay that i:ie the '.iNih section provides that you shall b: imprisoned one month for every five dollars fine! Now suppose your fine should be assessed by a court martial at ,c ;"0 and you could not raise the money. You would be dragged from the bosom of your family by an armed lorce, cast into prison, and compelled to lay there for ten months. In the mean time, what is to become of your family, thus deprived of your support? 1 hey must either starve or be thrown upon a cold world for pro tection. If you raise the means and equip yourself, the President, you will find under the 17th scetion, is to have power to order you off to Wisconsin Territory. In your absence who is t ) support your family? If you are a poor mm with a family, and have the misfortune of being drafted under this military despotism, the inevitable result must be the destruction and starvation of your family. Yet all this must be done by Mr. Van Buren in times of profound peace, under iImj garb of Democracy. We eay to you, read, examine and reflect upon the effect that this military scheme is to have upon you and your family. Recollect too, that it will have a similar effect upon thousands of your fellow-citizens, and thousands of helpless families, situated like yours then cast your vote. Htetwx Another Case. The Sub-Treasury system has long hern adopted in Austria. Mr. J. Randolph Clay, Secretary of Legation at Vienna, thus writes of the operations of the S-jb-Ti-casury svstem, in th3 Hunga

rian portion of the Austrian dominions. See public documents published at the present session of Congress. 'In Hungary there is a peculiar system of taxation. 1 a military contribution for the troops; '2 a domestic contribution." The inhabitants of Hungary are the descendants of three races Slavonian, Magyars, or Hungarians proper and Germans. The population is divided into five classes, viz: clekov, man xoiu.r.s, l'ETTV NOIU.ES, INHABITANTS OF TOWN, and peasants.
