f-Liv that nas Keen adopted Ky the Democratic
Mem era of the Legislature. Accompanying this
is one :»f the Estate Addresses, wh cb is caicu a

Arrcngementt have been made and art h*irrr
made with the post office oepaetmevt to
accomplish A Li. THAT V\ E WAN T, and 0
it wont euit the federalist* . i/“ th-y find it out,
w-Hicu we em> THr.rsHA.vT. Gorman Parks,
V. D. Parris, Gen. Humphreys, Mr. Howard, U.
S. Attorney, and several other distinguished gen
tleman ol the democratic party, are beie. We
have consulted a)! of our leanerD. and have come
to the com luston that we can a the -State in
November. You probably have seen the Election
Bill pas-ed last weM;. WE ! ’AL< ULATE 'TO
MAKE ONE THOUSAND VOTERS OF
THE DEMOCRATS TICKET BY THAT,
AND MORE IF WE W A NT, AF'J'ER i HE
STATE COMMIT ! EE SHALL FIND OUT
HOW MANY WE SHALL WANT, which
will tie in abiru*. twa weeks.
We have now about one hundred of our first
men in ihc fu-ld,a d their ex pen es are great.
We have come to the conclusion that it would
not dole rely upon Hubncriptio <« to sustain them
these HARD TIM Ls. but to aite-.:-. a certain turn
upon ati thn*e in office, and upon su.-h shareable
to pay. We hve a>.k>-:■.nl laricely, but when
they see the nece--aty of the case they ought not
to find fault, for it i« to sustain democracy against
federalism, truth against lies, and light against
error and darkness. We muni moke a DESPER
ATE EFFORT or all in (root forever. The sum
nere--ary to carry the .'nate, with the help of our
j new Election Law is not very large, and nui
I friends, one and all, must be on the business as
signed them.
You ;*re one of the Aroslook division. It is
expected you will take the field immediately after
you receive the funds to wont with, which the
| Btate Committee will furnish you with in aixjut
six day*. Ihe amount to be csdected is about
i 6,500, which has mostly been paid in to the
Ntate Committee by the members of the Legi-Ja
iure and about filly ol our most lot ward democrats
! that are now here assisting to adopt that who h
I will be mot prolitaide. Mr. fourty has gone to
Boston after the needful which our folks have
agreed to send The Committee hav adopted
a new p.an for voting, such an one as w 11 shew
! just how very man votes, an A delect all the trui-
S tors to our party. We were greatly deceived by
kur.h at the last election.
We hear of a goal many that voted for Govern
or Fairfield that have said they should vote for
Old Granny Harrison ; but they must be seen to
or they will induce other democrats to leave us
1 tli such tlioe is hut one course to take and
that the committee will inform you of. Every
Selectman in democratic towns will receive in
structions hoiv to receive vetes, and to reject all
of the federalists that there is die least douul about,
and admit every democrat that comes to the poll
that they can and not lay themselves liable to the
laws Cur labors have been very great since
we have been here. We have had to work day
and night.—Almost every night we met in cau
cus. We have been so much engaged that we
could not hardly slop so go into the revised stat
utes at all, but are now gelling along faster. You
will perceive that all the members of the Legis
lature's names are not on the Address. lam sor
ry to say that two or three ofour members have
refused to sign it, and several that did sign were
vny loth to. We have tried to persuade those
that would not Hgn it to go with us in November,
but I arn afraid the ras-ally traitors w ill not. If
we do not succeed in choosing \ an Huron elec
tois in th.s SStale, it will be because of such ‘ Bene
dict Arnolds” as the*e in our own ranks, but we
must stop them from leaving us by sane price or
other. j sure and burn this letter the mo

•- Stranger, 1 know Gen. Harrison ; me ana
:.;m were raised :n V trgin a. lar ugh he is but a
boy to me. We were i*-th out under Mad An
thony. up on .Maumee, when we cm i toat fight
af;er St. CUir's Udeat. V u have ueard of it, I
reckon, afore now. Il was n sigat of l;.e fort.
I was a private, and Harrison was but a vouna*
ster :or a.; officer--he was aid to Mad Anthony,
and the way he carried orders up and down was
not slow. 1 saw him when he rode up to that
troop • f ho se, where that young Dutchman from
.-Hoauy, in York Mate—l c«n t th.nkof l; 3 name
—Van, something—he was a Cornet, and earned
the dig—R nsseUer. that is it. Il was worm
i one of your purr's to see those troopers caarge
upon the red -kin- among the long gra-s—it was
! for all the world hke a wolf chase, but on the
prairies—and the tw vlt .ged i'rutes would run
nearly as fast and keep at it as iuDg. They were
ail taken care oi ami we bad no trou. le from
' them fer -everal year.'. After mat, on the march
t down. I t<»»k a fancy to inis place where i now
I live.— i b-.ught the land and ooiu t.ns house that
i you call a ca in. and p id for all of it, ana I ne
ver saw any of that s.iver ana gold that you talk
jf dun ~g tfie w b >le time. We used to have Uni
ted Stales Bank notes hen. that was just as good
a- any thing. My land is just a-r geod.and s*. is
my h .use. and tbev both will I c-t as long, as if
th y had been paid ‘or in sub-irea'urv money.
The h»uie suits me well enough. M . children,
I mean the young ones, were here. My boys
i were ai. grown when we moved from Virginia.
; My old woman like» ibis place, ana keeps everv
j thine snug and comfortable—you are welcome to
I all my house affdrds, and that is not much. Mv
rifle provides fresh meat—y« u talk about tbit n
■fl —old Gov. Jbhelby said, when he came along
here on his way to the North to join Harrison in
Canada in the last war, that they bad just such
rifles as that at K rig’s Mountain in the old war.
To be sure they had. says i. My father earned
it there, and 1 nave heard him say fifty t mestbat
| he never could see any difference between a red
; coat, an Inuian, or a deer. I don’t pretend to
shoot as rny father could, he learnt it under Mor
gan ; I'ut you may understand this, when you
hear the era- k of an old Hoosier’s rifle, you mav
Know that there is something nes.’des noise
ing on, and they vote just as straight as they
shoot.
You may talk till you are grey about Harrison.
I knew him when he w as a hoy, and I nave heard
of him e\er since. I don’t kpow much al>out his
fighting in the la.-d war. mffboyt can tell you all
; about it , they went off with old Gov. Shelby and
helped to give the red coats a dressing over in
Canada—a.- to the Election you talk about. I vo
ted for old Hickory twice; I always liKed him;
w hen there was any fighting going on, he was
always sure to he in the midst of it—since be
went home to Nashville, somehow nothing goes
right. There are so many experiments, and n«-w
notions getting up, that I cannot expect to see
the end of them ; and I think I shah try a shot
with Old Tip—be can’t do much mischief, be
cause like myself, he is getting rather old you
know—and as to my old house, you can talk
against it as much as you please, that will not
change my liking for it; nut when my boys come
in you must not lei them hear you, for if thev do,
you’ll walk into next wet k in half a minute.”

The Vanities of the Old Dominion have a
! a good deal of trouble to make their men stb-k on
the Electoral ticket of that .Stale. Tnere have
been several declensions from the ticket, as nom
inated heretofore; and now, we observe another
noted in the Richmond Enquirer. “In conse
quence of his illne-s,” Major H. Bedineer, of
Berkeley, ami in accordance wbh his own wishes,
Mr. Ritchie, the Secretary of the Central Com
mittee of the Van Buren party, announces that
his name has been stricken from the electoral
ticket, and that of James Gibson, of Hampshire,
substituted in its ulaee.
We are not surprised at these declensions.
Desi at is not exactly all that rende's a place on
the Locofoco electoral ticket of Yirgini j. undesi
rable. It is defeat, when battling against such
men as Harrison and Tyler, and in support ot
such a personage as Martin Van Durcn. that is
especially unpalatable to the sons of the Ancient
Dominion. It is not defeat in itself, but defeat
in such a contest—under such a leader ! There’s
the rub.
A Fit I.vstbumext !—The Loco-focos of
Crawford Co. Penn, have nominated one Joseph
Douglass for Assembly, who has made himself
notorious by his abuse of Gen. Harrison as a
Commander. The Crawford Statesmen objects
to this gentleman’s testimony, on the ground t ;at
he deserted from the Army du ingthc Last War!
For stating this, the Editor has been sued by Mr.
Douglass; whereupon he publishes the certifi
cates of three officers and five privates who be
longed to the same company with this Mr. Doug
lass during the War, who all testify that he deser
ted fiorn the camp at Black Rock about one
month after he entered the service!—Nearly all
tne testifiers against Gen. Harrison are of this
stamp.
I oe Loco Focos of Nashua, N. 11. at a meet
ing the other day, among other tilings, graveiy
“Resolved, that it is the duty of every honest man
to keep his eye skinned.”

A Graphic Picture.
G. W. Ewing, Esq , who lately headed the
\ an Buren electoral ticket in Indiana, has pub
lish* d a letter, in which he says, ‘■'the Sub-heui
ury law strikes a fatal blow at the bed interests
of the people destroying at once their energ et,
their c< ujfidenct in each other , and consequently
all cred’t. It is not in my humble opinion, a
Democratic measure , but in reality the very
reverse
'The Archimr.DEAV Screw.—The following
is an extract from the Lt ndon Correspondence
oi the New York Journal of Commerce :
The Archimedes steamer, which propelled
by a screw, is likely to visit juur good city of
Gotham.—The patei tee and proprietor of tne
screw propeller is very desirous of having an op
portunity of crossing the Atlantic, if he an g-t
his vessel chartered for thevovage. This gentle
man, Mr. F. P. Smith, in reply to a paragraph
that has insinuated that the lr.-t voyage the
Archimedes took, to Holland had affected her
wo r ks, writes to a morning paper ot the 14th
thus: —“ The Arch tmedes i.as run 5,000 miles
without the slightest derangement of her ma
chinery, or any kind of material repairs and she
is perfectly ready to start fur New York to morrow
morning, should any person want to engage her
for such an excursion.” Mr. Smith has offered
to run he 500 miles at sea against any paddle
steamer fur £ 1000. The Caledonia, sister steam
ship to the Acadia, and the bearer of tr.is commu
nication. showed her great powers in reaching
Liverpool from Greenock in si teen and a half
hours. The Columbia, the fourth and the lust
us the Boston, Hautax and Liverpool Line, was
launched on the morning of the t alcdonia’s sail
ing from Greenock. £ne is described as a beau
lilul model.
A Strong Sr.MPTo.vt.—Mr. Van Buren in or
dering nis coal this year for the \\ bite Home, or
dered only enough to last till ihe 17th ( I March,
leaving in (he binns just two week’s fuel aher
the 3d of March. The calculation of Mr. Van
j Buren reminds us of a very economical shipmas-
I ter, w ho the sailors said could bring the end of the
j voyage and the piovisions nearer together than
any other man.

Mississippi—row she will no.—We are
truly astunisbeu at some of our Whis friends
those at a distance, however—who, in makiri"
their calculations, set down Mississippi for Van
Buren. or even as doubtful, wnen in fact there is
not a State in this whole Union more sure for
Harrison—which no honest democrat will deny 1
here. \ es. the Slate will go for Harrison by a
majority of from 3000 to 5000 in the popular
vote. What right has Mr. Van Buren, we
would inquire, to claim the vote of Mississippi?
Os all others, she has suffered most by the ruin
ous measures of his maladministration—she
km ws it, then is it reasonable that she enn give
