Hon. Edward J. Black—Sir—ln your letter to the Milledgeville committee of invitation for the fourth of July last, you assume the responsibility of asserting that General Harrison’s “whole life has been spent in warring against the South.” — Were you with him when he was “waning against ® the South,” by fighting in the far West, the mighty battles of Tippecanoe, Fort Meigs, and the river Thames? And can you boast of honorable wourd' received whilst there battling with your country’s enemy? Should this be the fact, tell your consti tuents in what regiment you fought, and by whom you were applauded, as Gen. Harrison was by “Mad Anthony.” if you were not in those battles, or any of them, come out like a man, and prove the truth, in the best way vou can, of what you have asserted. is looked for, and nothing less will screen you from the odium of asserting what you cannot prove. In the same letter you proclaimed to the people, as “a notorious fact,” that “ three members cf the Convention , '‘ that met in Milledgevide in June, “were nominated by that Convention ” to be candi dates for Congress at the next election. Now , sir, I deny the existence of such “notorious fact,” and unless you prove what you have said (0 be true,be assured that, at the ballot box in October next, “thousands and tens of thousands” will rebuke a representative who can be induced, for the purpose of injuring others, to depart from the straight for ward line of rectitude. © A RICHMOND COUNTY FARMER. From the Neio York Times. Another Van Bnrea Flag Struck. The “State Eagle,” an ably conduced week ly paper published at Hartford Connecticut, has just expunged the name of Van Buren from the head of its leading column and enlisted in the people’s caqjfliaißcr the banner of the people’s The editor in commencing a manly and conclusive article, informed his readers of the change and stating his resaons for abandoning the administration party, says : “TO TUE PUBLIC.” “ Those who have been accustomed to look into our paper from week to week, will no doubt at once discover that the names ot Martin lan Buren and Richard M. Johnson no longer occupy a conspicuous place in our columns. As an ac tive, though humble partner in that distinguished firm we this day publicly dissolve our connection —if not by “ mutual consent,” with the hearty , approval of our own conscience.

OLIVER, Clexk of Council. We understand (says the New York Commer cial Advertiser) that one hundred and thirty per sons have already engaged passages imhe British Queen. The packet ships Ontario, for London, Europe, for Liverpool, and Baltimore, for Havre, which likewise sail to-morrow, have also a large num ber of passengers engaged. Washington Irving is said to be engaged on a new work, the subject of which is the incidents connected with the visits of Columbus to this con tinent. The reason why.—The question has been often asked, why Isaac Hill should receive the appointment of Sub Treasurer for Boston 1 A very satisfactory reason was assigned yesterday, by a Locofoco, who said that Mr. dill being a lame man, could not so easily run away with the public funds. —Boston Allas. Mormons lynched. The Quincy Whig of the 17th ult. states that ihe citizens of Tully, Mo. have recently missed several articles, and laid the theft to the Mormons, living ut Nauvoo, 111, immediately opposite. At length, a number of the citizens of Tully crossed the river, in the vicinity of the Mormon settle ments, where after some searching, they found several of the stolen articles. .'Shortly after, fall ing in with a party of three or four Mormons, , they were charged with the theft and forcibly taken across the river and severely lynched. One of them escaped, and running to the river, seized a canoe and reached the other shore, where he feU exhausted. A public meeting of the Mormons has been held in Nauvoo, at which the following, among other resolutions, was passed; That the people of Missouri not having suffi cently slaked their thirst for blood and plunder, are r.ow disposed to pursue us with a repetition of the same scenes of brutality, which marked their whole course of conduct towards us during our unhappy residence among them. Notwithstanding they have already robbed us of our homes, murdered our families, stolen and carried away our property, and their exertions to complete the measure of their own infamy as a State, has caused unoffending thousands to be banished from the State without even the form of trial or the slightest evidence of crime. They are now sending their gang of murder ous banditti and thieving brigands to wreak fur ther vengeance and satisfy their insatiable cupid ity in the State of Illinois, and that too, before we have even had time to erect shelters for our families.

LETTER TO AMOS KENDALL. “ While holding a high public station, I have seen my children spring in terror from their beds at the dead hour of midnight, in the belief that * guns were fired mto the window of their cham ber. It was (he cannon of Federalism in the street.” — KendulC s Add rest. Por N’T Look Oct, ? Lake Erik, July 4, 1810. y Mr. Amos Kendall —Dear Sir:—Your ad dress, letter of instructions, and a lew copies of the Extra Globe, were duly received at this of fice. No exertion in my power had been want ing to comply with your wishes, but all effort, and the influence of my office, have proved in sufficient to stem the current of public sentiment in this vicinity. Not a single subscriber for your your paper can be obtained. Those who once quoted the Globe as proper authority on all occa sions, now loathe the very name. With one exception, the Harrison flag is car ried bv every steamer and vessel that floats upon the Lake; and the waters of Niagara pass the rapids at a snail pace, compared with the increase of Harrison’s popularity in the West. I pity your children—poor souls!—to he thus disturbed by the rascally Whig victories. Can not you do something to stay the popular voice, 1 and thus * the day of your resignation of 1 the post office .department, the most fortunate of i your life V I have not heard that your family were ever annoyed by the firing of Locofoco guns, nor have I heard of any one being disturbed very recently ’ by any Loi ofoco victory. But do try to calm your children ; it is possible thi t a fire may take place in Washington before the 4th of mxt March, thereby preveniing the public from ever knowing the full extent of the corruplionof your department. This may possibly culm them thro’ dog days. But I fear that the grand blaze of November will arouse not only your children, but those of other office-holders, to an alarming extent —(to use the words of your address) * fit only to amuse the wild natives of Africa.’ And when the grand Huzza is sent forth by the mil lions of freemen, who will rejoice to see our blessed institutions about to return into the hands of those who are honest and capable, it will so operate upon lire whole Locofoco system, as to cause them to cry for the hills and mountains to i cover their iniquity from the sight of the dear , people. ( I admire the honest concession of one sentence in your address, which is in the following lan ! guage: “ Laics are violated with impunity „• ■ moral obligations are scoffed at and derided ; ' knavery walks iht steeds with the boldface of , honesty ; plan ors of the public and of public I institutions, obtain sympathy and forgiveness .” The Whigs have not the power to prevent the violation of the laws, or to extend forgiveness to the plunderers of the public. I cannot longer sup port a party having the power to prevent, and I permitting “KNAVERY to walk the streets with 1 the BOLD FACE of honesty,” and extend for , giveness to those who have plundered the pub ( lie Treasury of MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.” The Light House Keeper, Point Look Out, Lake Erie. i - ' The most impudent pretender in existence is ! Jeremiah G. Harris, the abolition editor of the N uahville Union. Here is a fellow, who, when I editor of the New-Bedford (Mass.) Gazette, de nounced Gen’l Harrison, because he was not an * abolitionist, and praised Van Buren because he ) admitted the power of congress over the District > of Columbia—who was himself an abolitionist of j the deepest dye—who more than once appealed ( to negro voters to cast their suffrages for the loco j focos because they were abolitionists—here is a fellow, we say, now editing a locofoco paper in a * slave holding state, canting daily about southern ) institutions, and attempting to affix the stigma ) of abolition on Old Tip., and to prove Van Buren ) pure as snow. Such a cheat could not live in New-Orleans. He would be sent back to the nigger voters of New-Bedford, his fit associates. — JN. O.Bce. Anecdotes of a couple of “Grannies.”— The British in the days of the revolution were in the habit of calling General Wayne “ Granny .” At the storming of Stony Point, Old Mad An thony was the third man that entered the breach, i He was met by a British Grenadier, who inquir ed, “ Wno are you ?” Old Mad Anthony level led him with the ground, exclaiming, “/ am > Granny Wayne, and by G — d, sir , / intend to i deliver this fortress in aoout Jive minutes .” 1 he Van Burenites apply the term “Granny to Harrison. Gov. Wickliflfe of Kentucky, in com menting upon this epithet sometime ago, remark -1 that Harrison was the most efficient granny 3 he ever knew ; for said he, I saw him deliver General Proctor of five hundred children in about forty minutes. The democrats must sustain themselves in this 1 contest or the Angel of Liberty will foreverbid J farewell to the Republic.— Globe. Don’t trouble yourself about that Angel. , W hen we last heard from her, she was flying i back and forth through the clear blue heavens of > Louisiana, and blowing the trump of victory. Louisville Journal. General Harrison has written the following letter to a Committee in Indiana, on a subject in regard to which he has been grossly misrepresen ted: North Bend, July 4, 1840. Gentlemen, —l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter on the 27th ult. informing me that a report prevails in your neighborhood “that I am averse to emigrants from foreign countries being naturalized short of 20 years, and that in my feelings I have no sympathy in unision with those who have sought an asyulmin this land of liber ty. I have heard of this calumny before, and have ‘never ceased to pronounce it such, and to declare that it has not a shadow of foundation. On the contrary I have done every thing in mv power to facilitate those who have been near to me to acquire the rights of citizenship—and when in Congress to give them (before the nat uralization) the same privileges in taking up and purchasing the public lands as the native citizens. It appears to mo to be impossible to keep pace, by contradiction, with the numerous falsehoods which are daily raised against me, some of the lat ter indeed supported by the basest perjury. Respectfully, W. H. HARRISON. From a correspondent of the New York Star. Mr. Editor: The following historical fact riiay not be uninteresting to those especially who claim that the present administration party belong to the Jeffersonian school. Os the twelve Electors who voted for Mr Jeffer son in 1800, the following survive; John Woodworth, of Albany ; Pierre Van Cortlandt, of West Chester; James Burt, of Orange; Os the Senators who voted for those Electors, the following survive; Ambrose Spencer, now of Wayne Co; James W. Wilkins, of Orange. Os the Members of Assembly who voted for those Electors, the following survive. Nicoll Floyd, Suffolk; Samuel G. Verbryck, Rockland; Smith Thompson, Dutchess; Peter Townsend, Orange; Erastus Root, Delaware; James Merrill, Saratoga; Archibald Mclntyre, Albany. It is a singular fact that, with possibly the ex ception of one of these worthies, all of them at this day arc deciued Whigs. I make no commentary upon this fact but leave those who arrogate to themselves and their party, that they alone are sustaining the principles of Mr. Jefferson, to explain how it so happens that those distinguished men in our State who, in 1800, were the strong and unflinching advocates of Jefferson and Jeffersonian democracy, are now found in equally decided opposition to the policy are principles of Mr, Van Buren. I will merely add, would it not be gratifying to our fellow citizens again to confide the high and responsible duty of selecting a Chief Magis trate to many of those who have, from 1800 to 1840, always sustained the republican institutions of our country. Food lor Thinking People. Tiie following dialogue, which we find on its travels through the newspaper circuit,is worth forty columns of declamation, and as many more of ab* struse reasoning. It is plain to the capacity of every man, and is as true as it is plain. Every la boring man —and how few the numbers in this country wiio are not compelled to earn their bread by the sweat of their brow —should read this little tract, and ponder it well: — Plain quest ions and answers between Poor Richard and an Office Holder, with a salary ol two thou-and dollars a year. Poor Richard —Captain, I see by the papers that our President has been sending off across the ocean to find out what kind of money the Kings and Emperors take of their people and how they keep it. Do you know if he’s got any answers yet? Captain—Ohyts. The U. S. Consuls, you see, have attended to it, knowing it was to help them to get the gold for their salaries P. R.—Well, I reckon they got answers to please them then? Capt.—Why d’ye sec—The answers from Ham burgh, Bremen, Cuba, Jamaica, Berlin, Frankfort in Germany, Leipsic in Saxony, Munich, Smyrna, Genoa, Laguira, Leghorn and Constantinople, show, that they require every dollar of the people, or re venue in any shape, in specie. Not a single dollar does the Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia, King of Sweden, the Grand Sult;m, or any of those arbitrary monarebs, take of their subjects) but the real Benton shiners, sir, or tbc hard silver —they don’t touch a dollar, sir, of bank rags, nor don’t put a dollar in the banks. P. R.—Well, well —I reckon specie must be easy got in these countries, the people get likely wages there for work, as there is no bank aristo cracy. These specie Emperors and Brokers, &,c. give fine prices for work, don’t they? Capt.—Why as to that d’ye see—their subjects don’t need as much as ours do here —as things are cheaper there. P. R. —Well, is land cheap too. Capt.—Oh —the subjects don’t own the land, it all belongs to the Dukes and Lords. P. K. —What does the word subject mean? Capt. —Subjects means that they are under their Kings, Dukes, See., just like you are under Presi dent Van Buren. P. R. —Why how long have these subjects been working for their Kings and Emperors and Dukes and Lords and han’t got no land ol their own yet? Capt. —Why it's sometime since I studied geome try, but I guess these emp resare rather older than the American Revolution. P. R. —What! and the subjects hain’t carnt any land of their own yet, and yet getting specie for wages —why how much do they get for a day’s work ? Capt. —Why the President don’t report what wages the subjects get, for htjj thinks the subjects ought not to expert too much from the government, and he never thought of asking how much they got for their work. P. R. —Well, Fm sorry our“democractic” Presi dent didn’t think a litile about the people, while he was learning how the Kings and Emperors take care of themselves. Well. 1 was asking George Jacobs the other day, who came from Holsteen, and he says they only get seven-pence a day for work and board themselves ; and there’s some in our neighborhood came from Dantzic, from Ham burg, and from Bremen, and they saythey got from to 8 pence a day and boarded themselves —they get from 52 to lUU shillings a year and find them selves. Why captain, ain’t that the reason they can’t get to own any land tnere —they get such starving wages ? Capt.—l’m very busy now, my dear sir the mail is just coming in—but you ain’t going to vote for old granny Harrison I hope —are you ? P. R. —Why Captain, you’re in a great flutter—• I’ve seen you ’fore now stop and talk an hour and let all the mails in the country come and go. I wish you just to answer me one question, and if you can’t do it, nor none of the otiPe-holdeis •about here, just send on to Amos Kendall, and get him to answer it in the next Extra Globe you give me. Capt.—Well —what is it ? Be quick, for I’m in a hurry. P. 11. —Be patient Captain ; perhaps you’ll have leisure after a while. It is this : How long would it take a man at 7 ponce a day and find himself and family, to clear enough to buy 80 acres of land ? And another query is, if it is such a fine thing to have specie wages and low prices, what on earth is the reason that these people are coming over by hundreds and thousands from their specie king doms, and going to work at a dollar a day in this bank-ridden country to get land. What on earth is the reason Captain ! Can you tell ? And what’s the reason the common people own their own land in this country, and don’t in the specie countries ? What can it be ? Capt.—Pshaw ! I see you are a Federalist. “Pa, ’ said a little fellow the other day, “was’nt Job an editor !” “Why Sammy 1” “Because the Bible informs us that he had much troublo, and was a man of sorrow all the days of his life!’’ We Stoop to Conquer. —This motto of one of i the Whig wards of Baltimore, contains the avowed principle upon which Whigery conducts the Presi dential contest. — Globe. This “wilful and impudent falsehood has re peatedly been exposed in the columns of this paper, and the originators of it have, we believe, become ashamed of it. The lie was too good to b© lost; and, seeing that it is abandoned in this city, the Globe has taken it up and adopted it. Having gone through the round of falsehoods, forgery and deception, the Globe is about to commence again. The next thing it publishes will, most likely, be the Ohio circular, written by one of its own Iriends, and to which he forged the name of a Whig. It must be very pleasant for the originators of these falsehoods and forgeries to find, after every body else had deserted them, that they are picked up by the official journal, and rc-dresscd for new service, and return upon the authors to remind them of the skill with which the original was concocted.— Baltimore Patriot. From the Boston Atlas, July 18. In this city, yesterday, the thermometor stood at welding heat all day. It was ‘shockin’ hot, that’s a fact. But we learn that it has been hotter than this in New Orleans* In proof of this, the German American of that city, relates the following story: While walking down Canal street, yesterday, like “Saul of Tarsus,” at noon day, we saw a rough looking man, with a coarse garb and hobnailed shoes on. Ever and anon as he walked, we caught a sight of what seemed to us a beautiful pair of long,curved, silver spurs. That such a man, with such shoes, should wear such spurs, astonished us; so we approached him, in order to be sure about it. And what do you think we saw, reader? Nothing in the world but two streams of water coming out through the awl holes in the back part of his shoes! The man perspired so, that his shoes were full of water, and at each step it gushed out, making jets d'eau that glitered brightly in the midday sun! Ft rthe Chronicle and Sentinel. “Hail to the Chief.’’ Hail to the Chief now in triumph advancing. Honor and glory are wreathed with his name, Proudly he stood, where the death-shot were glan cing,’ On the fields of the West, where the red foemen came. Twine for him the chaplet now, Bind it on the hero’s brow, Unwithcred its bloom and unfading its hue; While every rock and glen, Echo his praise again, The statesman and victor of Tip-pe-ca-noc. Hark! from the West, where Thames’ stream is laving, On the breeze the glad shout of the people is borne; Where the bright prairies roll, there our banner is waving, On its folds in the East flash the beams of the morn. Moored in the people’s hearts, Proof to the traitor’s arts, Gay to the breeze floats our banner so true; Martin, the cabbage-man, Quails when our noble van Sends a shout on the winds for old Tip-pe-ca-noe. Proudly our watch-word has shrill’d in the Union, And Van Buren’s groans to its echoes rep'iod; Once more to the held then and hurl the proud min ion, From his throne to the cottage on Kinderhook’s side. When no longer friends await, To humbly kiss the robe of state, He’ll think on his cabbage sprinkled with dew; “Puning o’er his petty schemes,” Starting in his troubled dreams.

The little Kendalls are hastily dressing for their departure. Enter —pale and trembling, without ceremony, Van Buren and Blair: Amos meets them; throws his left arm fondly and familiarly around Marlin’s neck: grasps Blair’s right hand in his, and sings; Martin with his face half aveitcd, hums or sobs a bar at intervals; while Blair stands petri fied with terror, staring at the pair, with an awful breach in his countenance, looking like a young bird, when its mother is coming with food. The storm has burst in fury o’er us ; Black and lowering is the sk} r ; Around, above, beneath, before, us, Darkness spreads her panoply. Days of cold and cheerless sorrow Dreary nights of sleepless glxun Retrace each other —still the morrow Wafts us nearer to our doom. Time goads us on, but yet he brings No recompense for misspent hours ; He bears no healing on his wings To soothe remorse for wasted powers. We have soar’d thro’ airy regions. On clouds of wild experiment! Now the Democratic legions Rend our ears with merriment! Whoever heard such guns before ? oh ! Sure the earth is rent in twain ? They’re loaded by the old “ mock hero ” With our Extra Globes:— we're slain !

Extraordinary Speed on a Rail Road.— The first trip made by the new locomotive en gine of Messrs.

It travelled, on Friday week, from Rotherham to Derby, ta king a veiy heavy train of passengers—the latter part of the distance no less than five hundred— and most of whom were going to Derby fair; and the journey, which is upwards of 39 miles, was performed in an hour and twenty-five minutes. In returning, the engine with only the tender at tached, ran ten miles in eight minutes, between Helper and Clay Cross Tunnel, being at the rate of seventy-five miles per hour! Bonaparte’s Wounds. —Napoleon showed me the marks of two wounds—one a very deep cicatrice above the left knee, which he said he had received in his first campaign in Italy, and it was of so serious a nature, that the surgeons were in doubt whether it might not be ultimately necessary to amputate. He observed, that when he was wounded it was always kept a secret in order not to discourage the soldiers. The other was on the toe, and had been at Eck muhi. “At the siege of Acre,” continued he, “a shell thrown by Sidney Smith fell at my feet Two soldiers, who were close by, seized, and closely embraced me, one in front and the other on one side, and made a rampart of their bodies for me against the effect of the shell, which ex ploded, and overwhelmed us with sand. We sunk into the hole formed by its bursting; one of them was wounded. I made them both officers. One has since lost a leg at Moscow and command ed at Vincennes when I left Paris.
