VEVAY TIMES AND SWITZERLAND COUNTY DEMOCRAT.
Military Chieftain,
cry, 'Great [a Harrison’ an old Federalist. He was .an abusive- speaker; with more acquired talents than one whose heart seems to be so imperfect deserves to possess. His speech was & tissue of blunders.
Judge Is no Judge. In the course of Mr, Fisher’s remarks he alluded to the fact that tbc whigs own most of the stock and bad the control of nearly all the local banks. To which a bank director, from .Madison, very impudently replied, "the reason oftt is the Democrats hare no money.” Mr. F. rejoined, much to the chagrin of the director, showing to the gratification of tho audience how ihe Whigs manage to take stock without money, and that he had no doubt the gentleman understood the art. When Mr, P. commenced on Gen. Harrison and his confidential committee, the Judge grew very restive. Mr. F. become more and more severe in dwelling upoh the ridiculous attitude in which Gen. H. was placed, by bis committee, until the Judge .could bear it no longer, Jle sprung up and asked Mr. P. if be would please name the committee, and the moment the name of O. M. Spencer was pronounced, the Judge with a triumphant air proclaimed that Oliver M. Spencer had been dead these three yesrs. The Whigs' then clapped and hurraed at a. tremendous rate, After the noise had ceased, the Judge told Mr. F. that he had certainly been hoaxed. He assured the Whigs that Gen. Harrison wrote his own letters, it was impossible for a man of Gen, Harrison’s ability to allow 1 any one. to write, his letters; nay, it was preposterous to suppose for a moment that Gan. Harrison would have a committee for such a purpose. "The gentleman himae]f(Mr. F.,)”ohserved the Judge, "could not believe it—if such was the fact fellow citizens, I most cordially agree with the gentleman (Mr. F.) that none of you should support him. 1 would nut; and the great Whig party throughout the United States would abandon him at once. This fellow citizens, is the desperate means the parly use with which we have to contend. How unfortunate for them, that they put a dead name on the committee! If Oliver M. Spencer had not been, dead these three years, they would havesucceeded in imposing upon you to-day. In charity to Mr. F..I must believe that he is hoaxed. All this lime our Quaker stood quiet, the Judge taking the full length- of the tether that was loosened for him. In reply Mr. F. calmly asked the Judge if he was sure that Oliver M. Spencer was dead! The Judge said yes, that he had been dead at least three years. Mr, P. responded, "that Mr, O. M. Spencer was an acquaintance of his, that he had seen him within twelve months, and that be. had received a letter from him within tbre'e otoliths! Unfortunately for the gentleman, Mr. O. M. Spencer is not dead, and 1 am not hoaxed.” At this juncture, Uncle Ned handed to Mr. F. the Cincinnati Gazette, the acknowledged organ of Gen. Harrison, admitting the fact, and attempting to sustain the course of the committee. The tables were now turned: the Judge was prostrate. You should have been there to have heard it thunder.. The Judge in reply rose and 'said: "/ have but one original remark to make, you have two great Generals before you. General Harriton and General J?itin.” He rowed and took his seat amidst \hs groans of hi* friends. Most exquisite wit,0 citizens of Indiana! • There is but one alternative—Howard, or a Bigger Judge— meat upon join ' ; PAUL PRY.
Gen, Howard*
Administrator’s Sale.
From the position which Gen. HowARaoccupies in and from the deep interests involved in the actions of that Body, we are decidedly of the opinion, that he should remain at his post, until the close of the session. Would it not be unfortunate, that the National Legislature should be deprived of tbe Servlets of at able a Member’s* Howard, at this particular time, whilst the most important questions before that body-are yet to be acted upon! Wo believe it would, and, consider it unnecessary, as thePcople know him welt, and amongst them, he has friends, who are both able, & willing to defend 1 him whenever it may be necessary. Of one thing however, we are certain; if General Howard believes that be ought to remain where lie is, up to the time of the adjournment, he will do so; aod should be deem it advisable to pursue this course, it will only excite bis friends to'double diligence. From the tardiness with which great questions of interest in Congress are moving through that body, we much doubt whether Howard can or will come home .before the adjournment; and if so, it will only evince his devotion to the welfare of the country.— Delphi JJultflin.
The Nashville Union of Thursday last publishes the following letter from Gov.

"And a portion of their conduct is amusing. It is exceedingly amusing to read the newspaper accounts that are given now-a-dsys of bts military exploits. Yes!—the Federalists who were so much horror-stricken at the idea of Gen. Jacksun's election to the Presidency because he was a 'military chieftain’ and invoked *war, pestilence and famine’ upon the land, rather than such a calamity should befal the country, now place the claims of General Harrison to the Presidency chiefly upon the supposition that he is a great military man! But modern Whigistn is capable of any thing—and in Ibis cose its votaries undoubtedly console themselves with the reflection, that 'Old Tip’ (as they call him) ‘is not General enough to hurt him.*”

It has always been a yule with me in addressing my fellow citizens m relatton to the public acts of an individual who stands before his countrymen as a candidate fur ofiice, to endeavor to be so clear and explicit that no one can misunderstand what I say—and for the truth of this I think I can with confidence appeal even to the Whigs who heard me address the people at Franklin and Lebanon. t

-General Harrison has recently been nominated by a Whig Convention as a candidate for the office of Chief Magistral of the .United States, and as his. friends appear to found his-claims principally upon the military services which be has his country, I considered it my duty .fairly to examiua those claims; and the result has been, a solemn conviction that, in Itia military operations as a general officer, he was guilty of omissions of duty, and committed errors during the late war whtlb would have disgraced a subaltern officer. 'This 1 have stated in all ray addresses to the’people, and, I think, established it already, by reference to his own communications and other official documents.

List of Letters
.Dear Penr:—I was occidentially in the Hooaier State a few days since, at a Whig meeting, for which notices had been stuck up, as-.I was informed, at every cross 1 road,and corner, in Switzerland county, for some three or four weeks previous, stating that the accomplished and learned Judge Bigger, the Whig candidate for Governor would address the people in Vevay. AH the Hie leaders of the Harrison party; from .Madison' to Rising Sun, were in attendance with their posse; to make olie grand show; but, alas!' they found themselves too spares to-.outnumber the Democrats of Vevay and its immediate vicinity alone. .Out of two hundred voters in the town of Vevay, there are but iwenty-fiye Whigs.' -The Democrats 1 challenged the Whigs to lake , the vote .of the crowd, and offered tobol .lhtt they would number five to their three, which offer the Whigs very prudently declined. - Uncle .Tom, well known in those parts os the oldest and most knowing in suchmatters, offered tojbet a clamerous young Whig liquor for the company that tflere were two Democrats to one the ground. Be it remembered that at the last election this same Switzerland county gayoja very decided majority for:*Harrison, and the Whigs have, perhaps, boasted niore of the changes favorable- ; to them. in old Switzerland than manyhalf dozen counties in the State-put together, Now, the Democrats seem lobe quite certain of carrying Switzerland for General Howard, by;a handsome majority, i. Judge-Bigger bad nut arrived at two o’clock. It was understood'that he had reached Mount Sterling, -four miles distant, lb- dinner. The first Intimation that tbo crowd had of hie near approach, was from a shrewd little cross-eyed Corncracker, who cried oUt, "there he cdroes. r As none of the company.knew the Judge-per-sonally, a little exquisite clerk, with all the. delight imaginable beaming 1 in bis face, stepped forward! and asked..the Corncracker, '"how. he knew!” To whichihecross-eye'^youth replied, "he hears the Harrison'Banner.” s “Where!” says the clerk. "1 see the red funnel petticoat around bis neck and over his'breut,” replied the Corncracker,” At this, the chopfallen counterhopper adsqualula|ed; The; Judge presently alighted, and relieving his banner, made some apology to his friends for. wearing the garment, alluding to his feeble health and approaching old age. "Why not Judge Bigger as m/fch entitled to the under garment as old Tip hanself?” said one of his young friends very- pJytetically; The Judge Ifioked a little curious but made no answer. However, in a short time bs commenced his harangue. It was the poorest, most flimsy and uninteresting verbiage that l ayer listened to. He has an unmeaning face!, and looks too much like a statue ever to be a Governor. His, delivery was stupifying—he could not even look In accordance with the language, he uttered, poor.as it was. The matter seemed to bave.been made up for him, and he went over his task like a school boy. But what was most vexatious to his friends, no one felt a word he lisped, it canie forth with such stultified monotony* Hu abandoned entirely the ground which tho Whigs on our side of the river occupy, and on which they exclusively build their speeches. I allude to the Untied States Bank. Judge Digger came out its uncompromising opponent—in favor of the pet bank system—and, for tho government to receive irredeemable issues for its dues. The Judge thinks it partial and unheard of, in a free Government, for the Prcsicent to direct that such bank notes only as can be converted into gold and silver shall be received by the Land Offices. He contended that to give such preference to the specie paying banks, was a violation of the epiritofour free institutions. The sura and substance of his whole argument, an this head, was, that the Government should receive alike the ooles of the Brandon Bank, of the United States Bank, and of the specie paying banks of New York!!! The greater potion of the Judge’s speech was upon,the Internal Improvement system of Indiana. He said that he was a Conservative upon that subject. Although I knew very little in regard to the extent the Hoosiers had pushed the system, it struck me that the Judge was a "whole bog man” on the subject. He is for the immediate completion of six of the principal works, to commence as soon as the State can possible raise the money—and to corpglete them as rapidly as funds can be had on the credit-of the State; which, according to his own showing, would amount to upwards of ten millions of dollars. As the Judge calls this Conservatism, I have some curiosity to know how many works a regular built sysiem-man would wish to put into operation! and how much money he would requite! To take the Conservative doctrine of the Judge as data, I would gqess that forty millions would scarcely be a priming. If Judge Bigger continues to preach this Conservative doctrine, and geis any votes, it must be where money is more plenty than it is in and about Vevay. The Judge concluded his labored speech in about two hours and a half, when cries of Fisher came from every part of the house, with such excited and earnest tone, that one could have easily imagined himself in Platte county; Tom Bentoii’s Buie; or in Owen connty, Kentucky. Do you know Fisher, the Quakerl You would be captivated with him. He met Judge Bigger witbsut preparation and on the spur of the moment, upon the Judge’s favorite and chosen eubjecte, and If he did not literally use hits up, the

1 have said, anil I now repeat it, that at. the battle of Tippecanoe, he encamped upon ground selected by the enemy, whitti he acknowledges afforded great facilities to the approach of the savages. That lie established no picket guards to watch the movements of enemy ia .'tly* town during the night—that ha.could not even ' have had a camp guard properly stationed, otherwise he would not have been surprised—that he had thrown up no breast-work for the protection of his men—and that the order to Major Daviess, to charge a large body of Indians behind trees and logs with a parfof sixty dismounted Dragoons, betrayed the most coasumate ignorance in Indian warfare.

1 have stated that the fatal disasters at , the river Jtaisin were owing entirely to a failure on his part to sustain General Winchester by an additional regiment, or even a battalion, on that occasion. - *
I have also stated that his order to Colonel Johnson, to charge on the Indians-with his mounted riljenien 1 at the battle of Thames, was unwise, unmiliiary, and entirely Without prece-. dent, especially as the Indians occupied a thick wood. . • ‘
These charges I-now repeal, and I can at any time sustain them before the people; and I shall be ready to meet any Whig candid ite for! Elector, or'any other Whig, at any.suitable time and place, to discuss the subjects-rand if I do not prove to the satisfaction of every unprejudiced mind that the charge are true, the fault will be mine and not Gen.

Destructive Fire.
’ Waihirotor (Jitt, April 11, A fire broke out between I and 3 o’clock this morning, in the building occupied by Messrs. Larotbeb and O’Sullivan, and Thomas Allen, as printing offices for the Democratic Review aod.tbe Madisonian; Before (be fire companies reached there, the fire had made such progress as to leave no hope uf saving the buildings, or aoy considerable portion of tbe printing materials in it. Messrs. Lanotbgs and. O’Sullivan saved frost of the stereotype pjates of tbe Madison papers,- and about 1,000 copies of tbe first volume of tbe work; the other two volumes, we believe, were entirely destroyed. Tbe edition was 1,300 copies, three volumes to each, valued at front $10,000 to $13,000, They were insured for $6,000; aod their properly destroyed is estimated at from $15,000 to $18,000. The materials of the Madisonian office were all destroyed, and no insurance on them. They were worth, we suppose, from $6,000 to $8,000. Tbe roof aod the upper floor of the Medical College' were burnt: insured for $3,000; and it will require that sum, it is supposed, to repair it. Tbe Uabtist Church was injured to the amount of $500 or $600. A frame soap factory was entirely destroyed, worth, probably, between $600 and $1000. . ■ It is not ascertained bow the fire originated. Some of the bands in the Madisonian office were at work until after 13 o’clock; add the fire bad made great progress when discovered, about half after 1 o’clock. But the prevailing opinion is; that it occurred in Messrs. Larotreb and Sullivan’s office.—Gtofie,

In another paragraph, the same paper, in allusion to the newly hedged military fame of Geo. Harrison, asks the following unanswerable questions:
“When did Gen. Harrison become a.great military man! Never until he became the Federal candidate for the Presidency. And how -was he made so! Not by any battles be ever fought, but by the puffing of the Federal newspapers and politicians,. “At the close of the last war.with England, /every man in the remotest corner of the United 3'aies had heard of Gen. Jackson and his victories over the Indians and the British army at New Orleans, They had heard, too, of Carroll and of Coffee, as bis comrades m arms. The body ofour people had heard of Brown, of Gaines and-of Scott, as brave and successful commanders at the north. They.hid heard of the battles of Chippewa and Lundy's Lane. They hw beard of the n<>b!e defence of Fort Stephenson by the brave and gallant Col, Croghan. They heard ofMeNcill and others, who stood upon the frontier sad challenged the foe. But what bad they heard, what did they know of Harrison |s a successful Generali Nothing—literally nolAing—and for the Best of reasons, Though for a time ia command of the Northwestern army, he had fought no battles, had won no victories, and hid done nothing worthy of the country’s admiration.

Tbe Strong Side*
A strong argument of the Federal party to obtain strength, is, to!urgep*opleto join them and get on the strong aide. How'often do w'e hear them say to Democrats, "You had better turn in lime, and gel on the strong'side,”, os though Democrats are just os destitute of principle;!* thcmsejves. We have often'thought that they actually supposed Democrats to ,be without principle, from the fact that they themselves bad pone. It matters not, to a true Democrat, which is tbe qtrongside—he never stops to enquire which party has tho greatest numbers; but he goes for his principles. He careenotwhetherheisstrongor weak—whether he is in tbe majority or in the minority. His politics are Democratic, and by that tie is always willing to stsnd or fall. A Federalist cares not far principle, so that he gets office, and money, and honor. There is all of this difference between the two parlies, and the party which goes for principle will always be the strong one. —Dearborn Hem,
