of twenty-two sod a half millions as stated by the Tndiantan. Hero is a wilful misrepresentation of more titan nine millions, and all honestly done for political effect. Hut where is the man who will deliberately approve so low and vile a resort for the purpose of sustaining a politics! party! Where is the matt who will say the end justifies the means, and that oven falsehood is right for the purpose of defeating Marlin Van Huron! —Where is the Christian who can approve such a dishonest and dishonorable warfare! And where is evenAhb honest Whig who wishes to be imposed upon himself by such a deceptive statement! And yet this is but of the same character of (lie means resorted to for the last eleven years to defeat Andrew Jacksomand Martin Yan-Bu ren.‘ The opposition have almost split their throats with the cry of‘extravagance;* and after all, when the items and facts are presented, the charge dwindles down to nothing, and their noisiest halloo fades upon the ear like a dying echo. This subject has been presented in a lucid manner by ilr. Benton, from whoso speech we make the following extracts: . i, . “The authentic tables show that -the aggregate expenditures for 1824, came within five millions of those of 1839; consequently, that, without a deduction for extraordinary expenditures, the charge of extravagance,* waste, ruin, profligacy, Ac., might have been raised against the Administration of that day, and eomo uninformed persons excited against it by a groundless clamor; yet no one thought of raising such a clamor in 1824. No one then thought of charging, as extravagance, payments on account of the public debts, , and for indemnities merchants, and other extraordinary expenses. Then all parlies made ibe proper deductions fqr payments either temporary or extraordinary in their nature. No one thought to mystify or to impose upon the ignorant. No one thought of palming a story of thirty-two million upon the country, os the'expenses of the country. All that has been reserved for the present times; it has been reserved for our day; and may have been attended for a while with ibe ephemeral success which crowns for a moment the petty arts of delusion practiced upon the. ignorant. But the day for this delusion has gone by. The classified tables now presented, will reach every citizen, and will clear up every doubt, Titfey will enable every citizen to sec every item of expenditure—to judge it himself—and to demand of the Opposition gentlemen, if they did not vole for it themselves, and if they nowobjeet to it! -Taking the extraordinary items as they rite, and beginning with the firsti the cum of eleven millions paid for redemption of Treasury notes, and it can be demanded if that payment was not right! and so on through tbs whole to twelve and a half millions.' Tbo|6rdinary; and permanent expenses, amounting tjgi,thirteen' and u half millions, no one objects to; oll adniit that that sum is a million and a half within the. mark ofinerildrioue.cconemy. It is nnThe extraordinaries—it is on Hie difference between thirteen and a half and 'iliirly-gcvcn millions—that the 1 attack is made; and now we produce these cxtrabrdiuaries. 4Vo give a list of them item by item,* w.ith, the amount paid on account of each, and call upon the gentlemen of the Opposition to name the ons to" which they object; to name the one for which they did not vote. This is what we do, and I will tell you. Mr. President, what they will do, they will not name one item to which they flow object, or against which they voted! They wilt not name one; and the reason is, because they cannot!—They voted for all—they approve all; the country will approve except part for pensions apd harbors, and of these the Opposition were the leading advocates. And thus these gentlemen of the opposition are presented in the extraordinary'Tighl of going hbroad to make a general denunciation of tbo Administration for exiravaganiexpenditurc; and when we show them the bill of particulars, and ask them to point out the extravagant items, or the ones for which they did not vote, that/ tciU remain tilend They will name no item, because they caiinot. “T.hat tho expenses of the Government had increased in the last twelve or fifteen years, Mr. B. said was just a* certainly true as it Was naturally to have been expected. The country itself had increased in that lime; several new States had been admitted into the Union, at id several new Territories had been created. An additional impetus had been given to the public defences, in the increase of the army and natfy-— wars with several Indians tribes had intervened —vast purchases of Indian lands had been effected—whole tribes, nay, whole nations of Indians had been removed to a vast distance, and at a vast expense. latter expenditure was chiefly for tbo benefit of the South and West; but where is the man in any part of the Union, that can stand up.aud comieumitl VSir, 1 admit an increased expenditure: and, farfrom concealing, 1 exhibit and proclaim it. I display the items, I poiml them out to the country. 1 say they will bo found principally, in the navy—In the army—in the Indiandcpartmem—In the penSjon —in the light house cstabMshmbnt—in the Indian wars—inTha defence of the frontiers','North and West—in fortifications —in prcpiringarms and munitions of war—Tn the legislative department—in permanent and durable fire proof public buildings—and in assuming the foreign debt, and malting other expenditures for the dimrictof Columbia. la these branches of the service will the increases bo principally found, and Isupporled them all except the increase for pensions, harbors, some of the . light houses, and the book printing part of The legislative expenses. I supported all except these; but the gentlemen of.the Opposition supported all that I did, and these besides; and.now. go forth to raise* a cry of extravagance! ■ .. “Mr. B. said the Opposition not only voted for these/Increased expenditures, but In 'some instanced greatly augmented them; This was the cose in the Indian expenditures, and* especially among the Chemkeesi . The Opposition set themselvea up for the guardians of these .Indians; tboy seemed. to make political alliance with them,

The Ind ans became parties to our politics; the Opposition became allies to them, and the result was double trouble/''and double expense, and doable delays, and double vexation of every kind with those Indians; until it required a military force to compel them to comply with irealie* which gave them millions more than they ought to have received! “Tho: Opposition not only voted for all the increases, and caused some of them to be augmented, but\hey attempted many enormous expenditures which the Democratic members opposed and prevented. Let any one look to the bills which-were rejected, either in the Senate or in the House of Representatives; let any one 'look to the number of these bills, and the tens of millions in the aggregate, with which they were freighted, and then say what the expenses would have been if the opposition had been in power. One of these bills alone, the French spoliation bill, was for five millions of dollars; others were for vast suma, especially the harbor bills. They were rejected by the votca'ol Democratic members, and if they had not been—if they had passed, they would have swelled the thirty-seven to near fifty millions; and would have been charged upon as a reckless, wasteful, horrible extravagance, -

gence of the people, ‘Never before have they exhibited such perfect contempt for the uderd era landing and intelligence of the common people.”—G/efie.

While in the progress of his remarks, he said that if be was elected ns President, he would be governed by the will of the people, as expressed by both Houses of Congress, Upon ibis remark, your friend, G. Kirk urn, oT Portage, who was standing in the crowd, loudly exclaimed, “there ' is the man,” (pointingHo Harrison) “who is accused of making no pledges,” Harrison triisiook Kitkum for a political opponent, and understood . him to call for pledges; and lie therefore became grjeatly excited 'and agitated, and raising his voice to the highest pitch, said: “I will make no ■ pledges in regard to principles; should I be elected, I will give my assent to all (he laws, which may pass •both Houses of Congress,-'however much those laws may'be against my own opinions and judgment,",and then directing his eyes across the street, he said: “I see over the way a public officer; although that officer may oppose me, yel if he docs so concienfiovtly and honfitly, 1 tyijl bo the last man to disturb him;” and then - turning to Mr. K. he said: “/* (Ac gen/femafLitoto, iittisfied!'* ■’ I give you Itis exact words ns minuted at the liniei which'w ill hot be disputed.

No well -informed sensible'man, who lias taien the trouble to acquaint himself with the affairs.of Government, cm take up t Whig newspaper without becoming satisfied that deception ■anti misrepresentation £re the order of-the day. Whir,the inmost assiduity do the Whig leaders ■labor to pervert facte.garhleithc truth and deceive the People, - We have a remarkabre instance of flits, pro neaess in the last No. of the Northern ladianian, in which statements and dcdticiions’aro made which we do not hesitate 10 brand-as deceptive,'fatso and unchristian, come from what source they will. We will for oncei take the trouble loiear'otT this rube, that the people may pee for themselves tho deliberate and unprincipled game ofdeception attempted to be played'upon them; and by a concise and simple statement offsets, show them that they need not look for truth from such a quarter. In compliance with a resolution of the U. S. Senate, the Secretary of tlio Treasury on 1 , the 7th of: May, transmitted a report to that body, giving—1st. the aggregate amount or sum total of alt expenditures or. payments of every hind front-the treasury in ea'ch year from. 1834’ to 1839 inclusive—3d, the aggregate amount independent of payments on account of the public debt—and 3d. the aggregate amount far permanent and.'ordinary purposes, excluding all extraordinary appropriations—also a statement giving the precise ©Uma which had been appropriated each year for extraordinary purposes.

How promptly lie entered into views of the convention in regard to tlie secici management, is seen in the letter, revealed in the adaddress of the members from Missouri, Kentucky Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina.. Harrison’© nomination was' in December, '* In January* he whies a letter to Mr. Evans, a : mcntbc( from Maine, (who has gone all lengths with Mr. Slade in his abolition movements, in Congress,) telling him;that he belonged all his life to an abolition society, and still adhered to’ itsprincipies:* that he might- use tho letter, hut it was none get into’ the newspaper©. - How/iiwas used upon the abolition socicty-of Springfield, the letter of Mr- Calhoun ofMasiacbuBoits tq the’ brethren in his district, makes plain.enough. No .man can doubt but that tho same - .secret use of it was'made by Mr. Slade, Mr.. Gates, 'and every other Abolitionist in both branches' of Congress. Harrison saw the necessity ofjhia quick'and' secret appeal to tlie abolition is f a.—, They were dueled with their.success’ in sing the rejection of Mr. Clay for hia ‘ eery xp«cA," as they called it. If convinced that Harrison was a member of “un Abolition society" —was in heart with them, however tie might have been induced to throw out derogatory refor political effect, it woutd. be a sufficient b6nd.of union, it was thought, to ensure their, support of hts nomination.' To strike while the iroo was hot,' was then the policy of Harrison’s friends. .The danger was that thrAboIitiodists ‘might tel up a candidate.fo'r,themselves,!and organize as a. distinct party. Hence, Harrisonwas, instantly written to for privaio !Qller», giving.ag. suranee of his membership with ait Abolition Society, to prevent the,separate.organizatioh’Of the Abolition societies 1 against 'him; 1 ,: A'nd he'who could never find, time to-write©’public letter lb the Abolitionists, from 1830, w.hen he was first interrogated,, up to present' hour, could'answer Mr. Evans-by apneo/e. Wter, ; not for the "public eye/* by the return mail!! This was used effectually to prevent the abolition organization against him. This being effected, Gen. Harrison, on the first of- Junq, writes a. letter to Mr. Lyon of fticbtnond,"noi to' be publish: ed,” telling bim , that- be - could 1 icWce belieFe that be had ever said*he had joined’an ‘abolition society. He thought 'it was impossible be had ever used the letmAbolition! although he bad used-it ip a published address,-to catch abolition votes, in 1323, end bad .appended a ccrtificalb of Judge Catch to prove the fact; as asserted by him; and notwithstanding he had used the Same phraseology to designate; the.'society To-.which he belonged, In his late letter to Mf.Evans,- to get the vote of the abolitionists for'the Presidency. Tho facts now before the public show conclusively lhat he is playing a- dbiible, secret game, to cheat ihe-people of the south.and the Abolitionists, and this, with the connivance of the old Federal party, which is conscious that it can never attain the chief power for any instrument of-ita own, btit'by such fraud anintrigue. We close by calling on Mr, Evans for Harrison's letter to him, to confront that published- by Mr. Lyon, —Extra G(o6c. . -

l!ard f Cider and Log Cubing This miserable humbug is only an old trick'of the aristocracy to gull the people, and catch their votes. Neither’the principle nor practice have the merit of novelty, although the application of •hem to hard cider ami log cabins may be regarded as an evidence of an improved taste of the Bank aristocracy of the present day, over the black cockade Federalists of 1793. The British wings of this day are only practising upon the lessons given them by the elder Adams, who understood the true character and—designs of tho aristocracy belter than any other man in this country; arid-no one certainly was more disposed to favor their ambitious designs. He calls them the “powerful and crafty underminert, in whom human nature shows itself, to completely depraved, ax to nearly approach loan equal m/jfc lure of brutality and devilism," He declared that the tho wealthy families would "as certainly rule the country in a simple Democracy, or a Democracy by, representation, as in ah hereditary aristocracy or monarchy. The continuation of power,” he says, "will be as certain, but it will be accomplished by corruption, _ wbiph ■ is wprse than a continuation by birth; and if corruption cannot effect-the continuation, sedition and rebellion would be resorted to; for a degraded, disappointed, rich and illustrious family, would, at any time, annihilate heaven and earth, if. it could, rather than fail in carrying its point.” ■ Who wonM suppose that this was written more than a century agol It is a bold but faithful picture of the Dank arfetocrcy of the present day, whose conduct fully proves what Mr. Adams said, that they would acquire power by eorrujdion, and if that failed, "mo utd resort h redition and rebellion, and were if psssible, would annihilate heaven and earth, rather than fail in carrying /Acir point?* . Witness their audacious frauds in Pennsylvania, and tbeir buckshot war, a treasonable attempt to subvert-the regular Government, and seize upon power by the retort, to military force as a‘means ' of consummating a conspiracy which in any other country, would have coat the leaders of it their beads.

This-document was one which could nol le got over—it wv a death blow to the cry of ‘extravagance’ which has been billowed so lustily by the Whigs; and if the simple facts were lo go befureAhe people, would disarm ihe'opposiiion to 3Ir. Van Huron of their most potent weapons. Plain; simple, naked ituih would not answer; and the Editor of tlie Itidianian undertook to pervert these facts and make the figures lie. How did be do it! -Why, he first published the Secretary's table, showing the amount of payments ofever/kind from J32-1 to '59, independent of the public'deb;; and then another table showing the .amouut paid for pensions for each year during the same period. He then drew the line, deducting the pensions from tho sum total, and then prates about the 'enormous expense of the administration of Martin Van Boren,’ and ‘retrenchment ami reform, * and all that sort of thing; and seeks to palm this off upon tbo people as proof positive of extravagance and corruption. If this can be reconciled with moral honesty, then may light and darkness be commmingled. Here however are iho facts. The year 1339 is the one on which the opposition have particularly harped, and we therefore select that year as an illustration of this monstrous extravagance. —The aggregate ameunt of payments fnr that year independent of the public debt, is $25,932,797 75. From this are to be deducted several important items .of extraordinary’ expenditure, that is, sums expended by Congress besides the common and necessary expenditures of the Government. Tdc first ueip of this description mentioned' in the report, is under the head of ‘trust funds,’ or moneys received in trust for the Chickasaw and other Indians for their lands. It amounts to $2-10 1 G94. This is set down ns one expense of the wicked administration, whet) in fact the United States acted only as the Treasurer of the Indians. '

• Th a Clove) a ad Herald and Gazette, yon know, is a leading Whig paper of this State, and opjweed with all its might the nomination of Harrison; This paper set .'orth, as one of the great reaaona why he should not be nominated,"that When ho was the candidate before, '‘/two* 06* sert able, that the counties; which Harr it on tiiilfd in verton.gaee increased majorities against him.” What was true, then, Harris, the Editor, will find to bo true now; and it is a pity that General Harrison could not visit every county in tho State, Ilia present visit was contrary to the willies and policy of Ijis advisers, and ho will relurn direclly homo by way of the canal.

The Pederal-naok-Stalc-RIghls-Hatri-son-Whig Convention, lately field inShisStatb, was one of the most signsl Tailures eVer witnessed, according to. ilis .numerbue' letters received here, giving an account of its proceedings. One letter stales that, had it not teen for the “funeral baked *meals,” .which decked the marriage tables of these ultra members of all parties, scarcely* a hundred voters would have been in'attendance; and even as if was, the hard cider was fiir-from. softening the kicking propensities of a great many of the delegates. These latter were attempted to be 'whipped fn,’ according to the approved fashion practised at. the Harrisbtirgh Convention by Thaddeiis Ster phens, the Abolition Anlimason.' In'scveral fn-~ Bianecs, however, it was “no.go,” as the honest yeomanry could-tint be convinced’that* those who, six weeks before,* had express?dsbrauch horror at the nomination of the abscondinh hero of Fori Stephenson, could have found out so suddenly that Le was not only a hereof a first rate NulIifierh"Tlidy, accordingly. look* the id* vice of Mr.‘IUriden,'tho Indiana* Club member, concluded to let (hosa “who wore filthy; rprniia r

The fraud in'New Jersey was of the same daring, revolutionary character, proceeded from tho same spirit .and detefminnlion to "nils or rum,” or, in the language of Mr; Adams, to “annihilate heaven and earth, rather than fait in carrying- their point."' f - . But at a later period, Mr. Adams describes other means, which the "powerful and crafty underminers” would resort to for acquiring political power, and it is, no doubt, this maxim of hts that the British Whigs are now. practising upon. In hia Cunningham letters, fie says that when illustrious families fall into decay, and lose political power, “they mill turn Democrats, and court the tamest of the .people with an ardor, an art , a skill, and consequently a success, teA>cA no vulgar Democrat can attain” Here we find the origin of the "hard cider and log cabin Humbug. ’ It is derived from the very head of the old Federal party. The monopolists and purse-proud aristocrats.having failed in all other schemes- of acquiring power, os a last resort, ard attempting to practise upon the Maohiavclian maxim of their original leader, John Adams. They are pretending to “turn Demo* crals, and court the lowest of the people mith an ardor, art, and skill, which, no vulgar JJemocrai can attain.” Hence their awkward ridiculous appeals to the basest passions of the "lowest of the people,” their preposterous attempts to represent General Harrison as the poor man’s can? didalc, who is the eon of a distinguished man, and introduced into public life by the influence of his father, anil not by his own merits, and has ever been a pampered favorite ol fortune, having spent bis whole life' ib public employments, from which he hns received front one to two hundred thousand dollars. Hence the ridiculous. proceedings all oyer the country, of the erection of-log cabins, and the disgusting exhibitions of miniature log cabins at liietr conventions, and their scandalous attempts to . tempt the low and viscious, and seduce the young and inconsiderate, by the free use of hard cider, that is, strong drink,- it all their conventions and public meetings. This is certainly courting the "lowest of the people willT-sm ardor, art, a'nd skill, which no vulgar Democrat tin attain,” But whether with tho "success” which Mr. Adams predicted, remains to be known/ In this respect, however, these "powerful trni crafty under miners,” who pretend to have turned .Dembcrats, in order to deceive and betray the .people, will find themselves sadly, mistaken.— Their contemptible humbuggery, bone wed from old Johti Adams, is well understood by the men whq.liva in real Jog cabins.

Our readers will see, in the following letter, from a man of high chargcter in Ohio, how readily General Harrison will run into public pledges, which ho is pledged not to give,- when ihwo is none of bis committee at hand to warnbim that what may find favor with those around him, will lose him friends elsewhere.
