In our neighbor's description of the banners displayed at the lato federal whig coonery in Madison, lie forgot to mention the one made by the fair hands of ihe “whig ladies'* in this place, at a labor of about twenty days, and borne in the coon skin procession at thefnd of the Switzdelegation, comprising about a “biker’s dozen’* hard ciderites from this county. This banner has in't yet displayed its broad folds to the eye of democracy at home, but wo arc told it bears [the ffd;i..ving inscription: “OIJ Switzerland good k ; 350 majority for Harrison in November next." . ne framers of tliia inscription m .y fmd nut when November rolls round, that they “counted their dickens before they were hatched.’* VThereis many a slip between the cup and lip,”

"Bui wo must suggest to the Baltimore American, that it does not appear quite to nnd£rsland the state of feeling among commercial men. Here, in New York, a very decided change baa taken place in.their opinions. The ferocity of their opposition in most esses is gone, and in many instances it has been converted into absolute- aj;probation' of the policy of the Administration and.Jts friends. Were it not that we hare no rig ; t lo bring the names of private individuals before the public, we could mention many persons of;;real eminence in our commerce, not long since tho enemies, but now the friend a of the Independent treasury scheme.^—We could give the names of ethers who, from being tho most; implacable haters of the Democratic Administration,- are now. extremely'moderate and temperate mikeir opposition.

THE TIMES.

The Whig*, at their h.tc gathering on Bunker Ht.i, it is said, came out with a long string of abus upon Gen. Jackson and Mr. Van Burcn, which they gravely style—a declaration of principles. ' ■ ■

One Answer.

WtlEBE DOES TUB MOJCET COME FbOMI— Tht8 is a question which is often salted by the' Democracy; .when they see the profuse expenditures of money in the erection of "Log Cabins’* throughout the Union, together with the immense 'quantity of spirituous liquor' which is ' nightly-dealt ouuinder the guiee of Hard Cider, lo oll.thoeo wlio can bo induced to visit their chibs, and at the. time, too, when according to statements made through the British Whig prints ihbwlidlo business of the country is prostrate, and .merchants, farmers, mechanics and mantilecturers arc becoming bankrupts daily. One thing is positive: that the electioneering fund of the Opposition ia not collected from the producing' classes, nor is it from t heir own countrymen. Then where, docs (ho money come froml Wo wiil : endeavor to prove that it is BRITISH GOLD, furnished by BRITISH AGENTS, to effect tho election of thoBRITlSH WHIG candidate for the Presidency—William 11. Harrison. [AV» Era, :

The Dayton Herald states that Harrison, in his speech at that place, sail! he was "Aajf soldier, h$(f farmer.** Tbs sincerity and I null of this declaration', remarks the editor, it is tinpos sibla to deny, as the man has "always been remarkable for doing things only byAa/cM;

your friends (hat your ance-lor, after his hundred th year, ploughed the field' which giv.es you subsistence. 1 yesterday reached my hundredth

year.’'

The great argument Jn. favor of Harrison is, that he will relieve the pockets of the people of '(heir t-pecie, and give them the glorious privilege of taking depreciated bank paper in'tho place of it. How very generous. ,

They say tho White House, at'Washinglou, is a famous place to grow old in, Adams declared so, and it is said Unit Van Burcn looks old and care-worn. Are they going to send old Harrison there to kill him! Old lie is already, and if the Neuragia takes hold of him there, haul elder won't save him. Would’ill it bo . belter to let Matty remain a few years longer, and kill him off that way,—Sunday .Voivrmy JVr}«. “Let Matty remain 1” that it would. Harriron has grown so old and infirm already, the family physician says, it would bo extremely imprudent to remove him from his “keepers” at North Bend.

The Hempstead Inquirer says: “The Monument which is to* be erected at the Mariner’s Buriat Ground, neaf Rockaway, over the bodies from the wreck of the Mexico, has been landed from the vessel which conveyed it to near Rockaway, and will bb ready to place at the grave in a few weeks.’* .

‘‘Whig,”

ITS 0 LOST HAS DEfAETEO.

Every American knows that the name "Whig," • was adopted m the Revolutionary War as the dis- ■ linciivo title of the patriots who. took part foe their cohntry in that great struggle, in opposition . fb that of "Tbry,’* tlic odious and reproachful epithet bf those whosldcd with the British arms. For this it ..was endeared to..the hearts of,the American^ people;—its .sound: brought ba'ck : to our recollection the glorious .evenis of that time whenoarfatlierarore in I heir.might arid cast off

We sec iLsiated in one of ourexchangcs that an extensive conspiracy ha* been delected in Constantinople, in consequence of which the Sultan caused no less than 15(10 persons to be strangled and thrown into .the Bosphorus.

A good Whig—“Do yeu know Mr. so and so!” inquited one gentleman of another. “Oh! very well, he’s a good Whig.” **Ah! howl” demanded the first speaker. “Why, In the morning when he gets up he's a hard cider barrel, and at night when he goes fo bed he’s a barret of Imd cider.” According to tho.same logic, our neighbor of tho Statesman is a good Whig, with this difference only. When he gets up in the morning he's a brandy barrel, and when he goes to bed at night he is a barrel of brandy.

The Charleston Mercury notices a 'decided improvement in that region. It remarks:' ; “It cannot have escaped the observalftirof iho most'careless, that the lone of business is of late changed for the bolter, that prices generally standfinn or man I Test a gradual rise. A glance at the prices currents o( all the considerable centres of trade in the Union, shows that almost every importable staple of the country has recovered from its greatest depression, and the bnsincsss 'world pul on a general aspect of'ec* lively, hope and courage. And against what tcartnl odds is commerce and all varieties of business struggling up., A powerful party tuie-cry-ing with all their lungs that the country is utterly ruined. Great masses of the people cro every. where attracted from their pursuits, to .political gatherings,' involving immense expenditures of money as welt as waste of industry;'ode half of the banks hang like death upon Lire currency; affording wcllgrounded fears that in manycasoa any attempt to restore them would.be only the signal of their hopeless and undisguised bankruptcy; the means ofborrowing front abroad are esNcntiiilly cut off, we fairly thrown upon our own resources, amt those to a frightful extent anticipated and wasted, and the remainder in no little disorder, and yotwe, arc recovering. All .the rage, the outcry, the fraud, ilia lying of tltoso whore very political existence depends on keeping the country in a slate of panic and- distress, cannot disguise the calm,-/ safe and certain march of the count'/ onward: to a better state of things. I film I nde pendant Treasury has nut brought this relief, it has at. .least not resisted it.”

Two Eons of Fitin stopped somewhere to read a Harrison handbill, and one of them, observing the letters “O. K.” in largo typo at the top ot' the bill, inquired of the other what it meant. *>Ocfi! honey,” replied Pal, “is it that jou’d be afther knowing!

Mb. Ecitok:—1 have not been in tlio habit of writing any thing for tlio prints for tho last four years, having been on the fence with regard to politics until lately, witnessing as I have the foul means and unprincipled conduct of the Whig party, 1 was bound to come outlast week in your paper. .

BePirc our intelligent neighbor of the Statesapostalized from tt.o Democratic party, he repudialed the very idea of all this flummery of log cabinet cider barrels, banners, and other devices emblazoned forth at every' Whig meeting in ■ the country to gull the people into the support of,Gen. Mum; out alas! how strange to tell, a Bad change has come over his vision. He can now exclaim at the top of his voice, like a good and dutiful Whig, “tremendous gathering of the people” —“one of the proudest spectacles ever witnessed,, —“see that fog taint” —“look yonder, * splendid iottiicr flo; is upon the breeze, in its centre a correct likeness of General Ha rut isos, rarrounc/cd iy a icnatk of poteen, worked by the hands of the fair ladies, and bearing an appropriate inscription.” How awfully grand all this appears to our new-fledged Whig of tho Statesman. Well, he may to honest in his principles. But pshaw, what has hmetiy to do with principle, in the case of cur neighbor, where Lts jjodte/s are coe:crtiod.

It appears that my statement with regard to the Whig barbecue at Madison has offended the editor of the Statesman, Here is a specimen ol his venom.

That these things will he done, or. attempted again, there U no doubt. Never had the-Feder-al party Hi much'at stake, aiiil never such means dl command, Imiependentry of its own individual resources, tho siisj ended banks [which feel* that their great corporate privilege of defrauding the public j* at stake) are pouring forth their irredeemable, notes-in’ aid of-corruption; - and abroad,' ttio 'holders of more. than., one; hundred and fifty mil lions unlocks .have a vast .Interest at stake on thfl issue m the cooli'et, which sufficiently accounts fur the thousands and tens of thousands .they hare contributed' for kindred purposes, ' The; Whig Abolition isle, too, have vast funds at,their disposal.-vAt the late meeting of the “ Woutb’s Convestionop Abolitionists,” great’sums were contribute J to" did: t lie cause tit the Uniftd Slalti ezclmirtly* And how; \vu would otk, cab they so e(Teciually, aid >lt as by contributing .to the election of a candidate for* the Presidency, and members of Congress pledged io them, body and soul.

If you conquer'in tho coming coptesti the rights'of both are safe; if you are defeated, neither, can ho preserved. As oue of tho great means to escape the calamities impending over you, watch the ballot Boxes. Never lose eight oT tlicm Tor a moment, day or night. Let it be rendered impossible to yiolate them. Let the ballots be counted at the earliest moment, in the presence of faithful and waighful sentinels, who can neither be bull cajoled, or bribed, since experience has proved that delay is the harbinger of fraud. Lot them eland sleepless watchmen over this ark of our freedom, and neither wink nor turn' away their eyes, fur they may be assured that neither the restraints of conscience, nor the fear of consequences, wilt deter their enemies from fraud, if fraud be practicable. To the rescue, then, Democrats! The contest is between money and 'men; truth and fuleohood; corruption and integrity; equal rights and privileged orders; noblo, manly principles, and m> principles at all. We can best tho whole combination, money, falsehood, fraud ft’.d corruption, if you only remember, and act on the precept— "That the PRICE OP LIBERTY IS ETERNAL VIGILANCE,”— Watch the ballot boxes!

“Poor devils—they were lying drunk drunk in some back alley.” Why was the editor of the Statesman not there—the great larhrcd champion of Whigge* ry in this placel Perhaps some ‘alley* in Vevay contained his jmnderoiif carcase, I have a right to infer this—for while in Madison I witnessed | some rcminiscencet of hisformer glory in the vi. cinily of friend Kaufman's coffee-Iioii=e.

Business is evidently improving m the cast, anu would improve here in the west, if the Federal leaders were not anxious to advance their caiHO by the cry of “ruin and desolation.” The Albany {N. Y.) Argus says:. “Every man sees and every candid andjmpanial m in admits, the returning prosperity «fi the country. Crops 'T all kinds were never hot* I ter—laborers find rt-a-ly employment—ihe hu.u 1 nf business is again sounding *u the t reels of 1 onr principle citi*--. We have from time to I tirao noticed in neutral papers cordial and grateful acknowledgments for these indications of reviving trade, and- from our heart wc pity the poor .Federal malcontents who are forced for political and party purposes to deny, or mourn over tho cheering and joyous prospects. —The. Journal of Commerce aptjy describes their vocation when it says—“The Express is a political paper. It mustsay what it is told tn say, and growl and grumble alwavs'when its own party is in the minority, and hurra when it in the majority.—The aun must never shine, the rain must never descend, thoro roust bo no fruit in the vine and no herd in tlio stall, until its own party is in power;” or, in the pithy language of another, “Federalism rises as the country sinks.** “On the other hand, what a subject of just pride and 'glory it is to belong to a party that can honestly and heartily exult at the prospects of comfort, happiness'and individual and rational riches, which tho present condition of the country offers. Never in our day did the foundations ofiolid, substantial, safe commercial and physical advancement seem mqre broadly; and firmly Jaid iban'iiow—never did the careful, experienced', cam ions;-but indomitable energies of the American people seem to us more wisely or

Mississippi. — A gentleman in Pontotoc, Mississippi, writes to the editor of tho Louisville Advertiser that the prospects in that State are of tho most flattering character for tho Democracy.He Fays: “We aimli certainly give -Mr. Van Bnrett a majority of from 3.500 l-t y t 000 votes. Wo are the toil tenants of lug cabins; but being by our constitution the. most Democratic State in the Union, wc cannot give our tupporl to Harrison, who di’5[ isea the first principle ;u a representative Republican Government—the right of the elector to interrogate the .candidate forelec-'. tion, as tn hia political opinions—one who denies the hounden duty of that candidate, unretrrvtd~ It/ and unequitoeatly to answer.' The hurrahs for old Tip, and tho exhibition of log cabins, coon skins, cider barrels, gourds. &c., will not bo taken for an answer, with any think akin to generous confidence, by the people of Mississippi;*’

If life end activity are returning to business it is not by reason of any tiling which the Administration has done; it results from the belief that the Administration is to be changed—and that speedily." Here is a confession of general bankruptcy—which is at least gratuitous. The hopeless prospect of the election of Harrison revives business! Were this true, wo should have to infer that the business i peralions of the country are based on mere hopes—on a sort of confidence haying nothing to sustain it. But the argument of the American is wholly fallacious, Business is reviving in spite of the efforts of the Federalists to depress it. Commenting on the remarks of the.Baltimore.
