NUMBER 20.

The Standing Army of 800,000 Mon. We regret almost that Hie Globe received this morning, spoils all tho Tvjleral noise about .Mr. Poinsett's standing army of 200,000 men! As General Harrison some years since, recommended a system of organising 4e militia of the U. really had something odious and alarming in it, we felt disposed to see how far his supporters would go, before they discovered their predicament, and the backing out would atco have been amusing. But a writer in the Richmond Enquirer lays the one bare, while the Globe contain s*a full refutation, front Mr. Poinsett himself, of the horrible scheme on*foot to . subvert the liberties of the nation. Poor whiggery! what next. The Globe says: Re-Organization of the Militia,

■ 14. Because a majority of ibe voters in Hamilton county, where he resides, know him to bo unfit for a President of tlie.Unitcd States! Id addition to these reasons,'Which wo deem sufficient to make the people go in.a perfect rush for Harrison, we hare agreed to huzza ini brag the ddmocrats-out of countenance; we'have arranged business to*have every man that enters a whig store or grocery in Elyria, met and converted to unconditional Harrisonism—we bare gen/fonen of leisure who .will derots their whoje time in enlightening ignorant people as they-come into town. At‘‘A’o. I, Cbcapsidc, ,, the biggest lies, and roost of them, will be Gillet in Darling style to all such as need information . These Long sipnes about the U. S. bank, (be currency, the veto, the depositee, and the hard tiroes, have been repeated for the last twelve years and will now be wove into the Tip-a-ca-nde poetry made for the baboon convention. - ..The delegates would eay to their Whig friends, kesp wido awake, and hurrah for did Tip, louder &hd longer, until next November —we are now well prepared for battle. Harrison goes for J'figgerotogy', and Tyler for Slavery —our candidates are like a two edged sword, that cuts both ways. , . ( , .

branches of the Legislature, at ever; session. The Whig party, hiving got control of the S'ato Government, thought they wouUTpcrpctualo their power, and to this end, after some preliminary surveys, adopted a system of internal improvements. Whig tutors thought the people -were not doing well enough*and that their policy would make every body rich at once. Well, four years have patted by since this happy stale of things existed, and what is our present condiA, deep gloom settles upon us, whenever we thinknf Indiana as she was, and as Me it. The currency ofybe Stale is now deranged, produce very low—tho prices of labor of the poor man; aro so low that ho is reduced to want—thd peo-i pic. of the State from tbs centre to the Terence are experiencing distress and embarrassment—money is scarce—HIGH TAXATION, to pay a largo additional number of office holders* is all the whigs have done. The* State credit at home and abroad is destroyed. A large State debt is fastened upon the people, and what is more shameluf, they have tarnished the fair fame of Indiana. Our whig rulers bare practiced the most wanton extravagancy,'and squandered the people’s money, not only by thousands but hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Whig Fund Commissioners parted with upwards of '$3,000,--000 inthe East, on a credit, without taking any security.. Afterwards,* securities in V SOAP FACTORY, '.waterlots, wild, lands in Florida, which;Js a morass swamp, covered wilh .alligators and frogs,'internal improvement Blocks, and bank slocks all over the Union. She cannot barlow any more n\oncy, on her credit, and the works are all stopped, Indiana is considered a bankrupt State/ .Is thcro one Indianian, that is hot indignant of our Whig rulers, for their corrupt mismanagement! And let us all go forward in favor of reform, to reinstate Indiana if possible, as sun was!— Washing/on Republican. .

Fnm Uie Springfield (III.) Old Hickory, Gen. Uarrisob’s Attempt to Destroy tho Uepatatiaa of Gen* Jackson* ‘ ,. .

“Ws publish this evening the details of the plan proposed by the Secretary of War for reorganising the militia of the United Stales. It ia accompanied by an explanatory statement, which fully refutes the slang about executive jecommeudationa of a standing army of two hundred thousand men;, bodeos ©f ormed men to be marched from State to Stale to influence the election; .increase .of patronage by power to be g(ven to the President to appoint as welt as commission the officers; and above all the immeasurable expense .'arising from the unlimited periods for which this body of. militia is to be kept in'service. *Wc actually shuddered when wo saw this array of dangers which threatened the liberties of the .republic; although’ somewhat at a loss to Understand why the alarm wasj sounded bo long after the Secretary’s report; for that at first, complimentary notices of the plan. It proposed appeared fa the papers of both parties. The explanation and details here given hive tiispbUcd all our fears. - The plan itself baa*little in it that is new except in practical application, •‘‘General Washington* drat proposed to discipline a select body of the militia. Mr. Jeflcrson urged,the classificationi of the Militia of tbs United States, and that a select body of three hundred 'should be set apart a* the active class, serve fora;’certain term of years.. The hoard of officers, regular^,and militia that;assembled in Washington by order of 3lr. Barbour, when Secretary of War recommended, thai the militia of the United State's should be divided iotoclassee; and all the communications from the most experienced officers, elicited by the interrogatories of that'functionary, contained the assertion I that the militia of the United Stales .can only be rendered official by arming, equipping;' and disciplining a select body. . It appears to us that tbe present Secretary of War has done no. more than adopt those suggestions, digest the necessary details to carry the plan into practical effect. So ftr from the scheme of proposing a levy of regular troops, it is calculated, as it seems, to prevent the necessity of large standing armies in time of war, and it will be satisfactory to those who have exhited so much alarm, to be ipformed that tbe baUaltions are 'to be assembled within the limits of< the State where the militia belongs'; and to be officered in precisely the same manner as.the militia are now officered; as likewise, that tbe'period of their being called out lor - drill is to be fixed by taw.' and moreover, that the mass of.militia, more than a million and a half of intelligent freemen, are to be armed and equipped asbqrctofore. After thisdevclopetnenl, we hope to hear more of this unwarranted outcry of a plan eminently calcula to render efficient the permanent defences of th country.”

Tho Federal Abolitionists are attempting' to

Howard and Wick, v These gentlemen are rapidly gaining a distinguished • position in Congress. Wo have frequently seen very complimentary notices of bom in the eastern papers. .The whiga themselves are compelled to’mete out praise to/tbem. In the .Baltimore Republican, a letter-writer for that paper by the name of John De has noticed , them and we republish the remarks, to show the people of thih State that they ought justly be proud of two such able Representatives. ' . . [iWiona Democrat. Jnwi Me Baltimore Republican,

iraposcupon the friends of Gen. Jackson, the be4iel that there is a ’grea't “similarity** between Gen. Jackson and Geh. Harrison, and that the old friends of Gen- Jackson ought now to go for Gen, Harrison. And. the Federalists further slate that a great many of. the old Jackson men are now going.for Gen. Harrison, for the same reasons that they once went for Gen. Jackson. In other words the Federalists are now trying to use the well earned popularity of Geh . Jackson, to bolster up the pretensions of Gen. Harrison. ■■ , ■ If (he old friends of General Jackson will read the following.extract from the Journal of Congress they will see. how much Gen. Jackson owes Gen. Harrison tor the lof.y character which made the people rally .to his standard, and place him in the [’residential chair of the Union. In 1817 and ’IS, pcn.Harrison was a member of Congrcssfrom Ohio, In prosecuting the' war against the Seminole Indians, Gen. Jackson' found it'necessary to pursue the Indians into Florida, and to pat an end to the Indian "depredations,' he was compelled to take possession of St. .Marks and Pensacola, to which places life Indians tied for protection. Florida then was.a . Spanish province, and tho town of St. Marks and Pensacola were Spanish towns. Gen. Jackson pursued the Indians—took the Spanish towns—spiked their cannon —and put an cad to, the war. The enemies of Gen. Jackson, unmindful of his glorious services to his country, seized.bold ot this to min his character, and blast Ins reputation forever. With this view, a resolution was introduced into the House of ilepreecntatives, In the following words: (See-Journal loth Congress, yd session, page 2-13.) ' ' . ■ •‘ile5plvcd,,That tlio,lato seizure of,the Spanish posts of Pensacola and San Carlos Barancas, in West Florida, by tho ‘army of the United States, (under Geu. Jackson) WAS CONTRARY TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.”: “The question (sco Journal page 2*1-1) was then taken will the House agree to the. said resolution.” - i ‘•And determined in tho negative, yeas 70, nays 100.” Gen. HARRISON VOTED FOR THE RESOLUTION CENSURING Ge.v. JACKSON. AND CHARGING HIM WITH VIOLATING THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. Those who voted for the resolution of censure were aslbllows:

“A, Poor Man.”

The Federalist# assert'that Geni is a “poor wan,” and arc endcavpriifg to enlist the sympathy of the people in his favor pn this ground. There is nothing' that they hare qaid, with all their falsedboods, more destitute of truth than the assertion that Gen. Harrison is “a poor man.’* He was reared and educated- in the princely halls of his father’s mansion in Virginia, Ills father was a wealthy man, and educated him for the medical profession, Gen. Harrison started- in early life,' by -means of his father’s wealth and influence, and was thrust into official station, and is ibis day enjoying the life of a “gentleman 0/ leisure," and living uplo'ibe profits of a fat office, the duties of which he does notperform. He is the owner of twenty-four hundred acres of land; lying oil the Ohio River; aboul fifteen mites below Cincinnati, which tract wti given to him wiih.a great deal more,' by.his father-in-IaW.'JoHn'CIsyag 1 Syfififi'csr"" Ifo,'hiS alsp-a largo tract of valuable land lying in the neighborhood of Vincennes, Indiana." It would thus appear that Gen. Harrison is not exactly "a "poor man,” though, he has been a spendthrift all Ms life. The trick will hot take; though it it liptended for & foreign market, the people cannot be dupedby the, songs ’of Federalism. Gen, Harrison isnot.a “poor man,”fcrid bis vole, to tell men for fines and costs, in the Ohio Legislature, in 1821, docs hot prove him to be the.**£oer man’s/rienil t , ’-~JFetiern Telegraph.

General Harrison's Appointment,

We understand that the supporters of GcncrV

Harrison in this city have dared to charge us with Cals hood, incur statement that'tie was appointed Got. Of Ind.'territory by Jno, Adams. Now, it was by iho authority of the General himself, that wc made the assertion, as will, appear by the following quotation from the narrative of mV life written and published by us; in 1834 and bis inspection. • ‘ ‘ "Mr. Harrison served but qpo year as Deligate in CongressTrom the North-Western Territory. It has been stated above, that the Territory bad been divided during the session in which be was in congress he was in 1801 appointed by President Adams the first Governor of that part called the Indiana.Territory.’*' v>.' • V. .•; Let any of them dare, to contradict this statement, and in so doing they will contradict the General himself. On' John Randolph charging General garrison with being a supporter of the. alien and sedition law, administration of John Adame ho acknowledged the fact. . ' . John Adams used all his power and influence to prevent the emigration of Irishmen to this country. He instructed his minister to the Court of London to give all possible opposition to such emigration, and the letter of remonstrance against it, written by Thos. .Addis Emmet to Mr. King, has been frequently published both in America, and Ireland, with Air. King’s answer, who did not hesitate to depreciate the emigration from Ireland to this country. Along with tbo alien,and sedition law, was passed in 1793, a law of naturalization, making the time of probation’14 instead of 5 years, which latter taw was passed in 1803, four ycarsafter. What stomach can Irish men or other foreigners, hare to vote for the man who has acknowledged himself a supporter o that administration’—.tf.TJaicion,

The election* in the West, of the last year, introduced a decided improvement iiT the calibre of the Indiana and Ohio delegations. • They sent to the Capitol, two gentlemen from Indiana, qf my great ability,* gentlemen who may be ranked among the ablest men of tbo da/. • •The firet is the Honorable Tilghnan A. Howard. , This gentlemen was originally from North Carolina, as 1 am told, but hqs for.the last ten ortyelvojlyears, resided in Indiana t where he hasacquiroja popularity andtSinfluence, which have given atunJant esidenceJir.his ability and his worth* He cameTrom the'district recently represented by Mr. White. .' Mr, Howard was nominated as the competitor, of the great and amazingly' popular Mr. Evans; the election took place, and the very, very popular Mr. Evans, was so badly beaten that he could not for six weeks-afterwards, obtain a realising sense of his condition. He had scarcely, votes enough to secure his name from total oblivion. Like tho man in (be play, he looked around him with utter amazement, and exclaimed,

“Am I Giles, or am I not!” ' Mr. Howard took nearly nil the suffrages, notwithstanding “he, the said Evans,’* wu ar Harrison man and could guzzle six and twenty, mugs of “hard cider,” an - hour,'“by Shrewsbury clock,” .

\ *ln th9 Rear.*’. . After all,It is no wonder that Gen/ Harrison neVec sustained a defeat, as all history proves that lie never fought a battle during his -whole, career. He always had some good men under : him to do the Democrats, like Dick Johnson, who wcfl knew how to pull.a trigger,,or brandish a sword; but the position ha chose for himself was an extremely safe one. He was always in the rtar. At the battle of the RJi ter Raisin, he wasio. the rear—at the Thames,.

On the same day, (see Journal, pages 211, and 242) Gen. Harrison roteil for a resolution censuring Gen. Jackson for hanging Annbrister, a white villian, a British spy, who had aided the Indians in making war upon the women and children of Georgia and Alabama.. This base attempt to destroy the high reputation of Gen. Jackson, who had perilled his life jo defence of his country—Who had saved New Orleans from the British foe, and triumphed over the murderous Scruinoles, was voted down in Congress. But will the old frien is of Gen. Jackson now vote for Gen. Harrison, who thus attempted to blast the renown of the old Hero of New Orleans! j The Federalists may say so, but we believe they lie, and we think the poll-books will show it.

The Honorable TUghman A. Howard is a I slates man in the fullest sense of the word. In debate, be is ever* alile,' ready, eloquent, and happy, and by all parties is ranked among the very ablest men in Congress, His speech on the Cumberland Road Bill, was one of the best specimens of American eloquence extant.. He is the Democratic candidate for the office of Governor of Indiana. He will be elected if the. people of that state are capable of appreciating stirjing talent, and unbounded political and personal merit. The personal appearance of Mr. Howardtis most decidedly commanding, ■ The Hon, William Wi Wick of Indiana, made his first appearance as a legislator at the opening of the present session of Congress. He had previously distinguished him self as a jurist, and as a judge of the courts of Indiana, was'extensively and advantageously known for the depth of his learning, and his strict adherence td. all the principles of justice. -At the lime that be was elected, it was said by the whigs that if be were not onenf them, be was at least a man of doubtful politics/Sir. Wick had not been long in Congress before he Undeceived the whigs, to their entire satisfaction, and proved to lheif utter dismay that ho was a democrat of;the most uncompromising character. - ThpHoii.Wm. W. Wick, is undoubtedly ono oKihe'soundest.men of the day, and possesses all tfia elements of a siaiesman in an eminent degree/ He is an ornament to (be State of Indiana.

Alter all the blowing and puffing of the federal party- about their love for the laboring mei/Tt turns out tq be rank oppression. Wo have heard of some daring instances of oppression and vengeance upon the laboring people of Ohio, but the following shows that federalism is the same all over the country. Thank .God, in a few months the arm of the tyrant monopoly will be laid low, so Tar a* its political aspirations go, and then we may look for a calm, arid the return if reason and decency. Nothing has half the beneficial effect on federalism as a good- drubbing occasionally attbe polls. .

Proclamation^ Know all men by these presents, that we the whig delegates to the late baboon convention, have nnido arrangements to give the people all the information they require or ought to hnvp, in their possession; and have provided ample means to circulate, every kind of falsehood, to deceive and mislead the unsuspecting into the support of Harmon. Wtf the federal Whig delegates, are induced to support Hirfisoa for the following reasons.

1st. Because Harrison, like, a bravo soldier, baa always bad an eye to self-preservation! 2. Because he deemed it unsafe to defend Fort Stephenson \yith 5000 men when Croghan had the temerity to do it victoriously with BIO! 3. Because be wad a firm supporter of the Alien and Sedition administration of old John Adams!

Irishmen Look Here!

\V.p hero publish,an opinion, given by the New York Express, (Whig,) of the Irish, who have . come to this country to find.peace, and seek iho enjoyment of their political and religious liberty. This opinion, ia the opinion of the whig party generally—of the party who now support Mr. Harrison, of the party who, would, if in their power, forever prohibit, all who come from a foreign land, from a participation in tho liberties of our republican institutions. Here is the character given by the Express—retd, read. “Our population has among its members, emigrants from all European nations, as also, large numbers from Canada. All appears respectable and prosperous except the low and uneducated Irish, to whom the soil and climate appear in no way congenial. They no-sooner arrive here, than their moral and mental faculties are thrown into great confusion-misunderstanding all agreements, written or verbal—mistaking their neighbors property for their own; and-when they think . themselves free from all restraint, run a rapid career of vice and wickedness, ending in poverty end disgrace.” "Cave Cannum”

When wo first came to Indiana from our na 1

The currency was stable and sound—money was plenty—produce was high, and a demand for alt the surplus—labor was high, tho poor* man was enjoying peace and plenty— TAXES were LOW, In short, every interest in society was in & highly flourishing condition. There was just enough collected from the people, by taxation, to pay iho necessary number of officers requited to keep in healthy action tho State Government. There was no State debt, her credit was good at home and abroad—she was justly styled “the younggiant of the West.” Indiana, at the time we are speaking, was on the high road to wealth, and her people fondly imagined that (bey would soon reach the desired haven of happiness, prosperity and case. . Little did they expect that so Boon, their cup of happiness would be dashed to the ground.- At that time, peace and plenty prevailed, the people, by the- advice of smart Whig lawyers, elected a Whig Governor and Lieutenant Governor.
