The reports are considerably more cheering

cotton has fallen so low that a profit can now be

The Presidents Economy,
The late debate on the general appropriation
BUI, has developed some remarkable evidences
of Mr. Van Buren’s economy, one of which
•truck us very forcibly, was a French Bedstead
at Fiftlet Hutored Dollars. Wonderifour
plain unsophisticated democrats will have any
difficulty in accounting fur the embarrassments
of the Government after learning that the Presi
dent has a bedstead that cost 1500 Dollars?
Young Men’s Convention.
The Baltimore American of Mondav-. after no
ticing the immense concourse of delegates to the
Young Men’s Convention, which then amounted
to several thousand, and was hourly increasing,
concludes the article in the following eloquent
and imposing tone.
The occasion which has brought together such
a conoou r se of young men from all parts of the
country must be something more than an ordina
ry one. What more striking evidence could be
exhibited of the deep interest felt by the people
in the coming contest than is presented by this
simultaneous aggregation of thousands in a rep
resentative capacity, who meet together for no
other purpose than to concentrate a deep, fixed,
and combined resistance to measures which men
in power seek to fasten upon the country; —mea-
sures which have been tested long enough to be
condemned, and which if carried out to ultimate
completion must result in distress and sullcring
even worse than have yet been experienced. The
day we venture to predict will lie a memorable
one and worthy to be recorded in history. It
will be referred to hereafter as a lime when the
ardour of patriotism received a new impulse and
started afresh—when hearts were strengthened
and confidence confirmed—when the enthusiasm
of the young kindled a warmer glow in the bosom
of the old, and a new pledge was given to go
stoutly on and turn not backfiom the well begun
work of a nation’s redemption. This day will
designate a point of time indissolubly blended
with a noble ellbrt which will ever stand forth as
a memorable one, made in behalf of constitutional
liberty and in vindication of principles for which
it is glorious to contend.
Indians in Florida.
More OUTRAGES, ATTRSnEO WITH KLOOB
shed. — We learn from an officer, arrived hereon
Sunday, in the General Clinch, from Garey’s
Ferry, .hat on the 27th or 28lh ult. as Capt.
Rains, 7th Infantry, with eighteen men, (all
mounted,) was returning from a scout, he and
his party were fired upon near Fort King, by a
large party of Indians, concealed in palmettos,
near a hammock, and four of his men killed, and
five wounded, Capt. Rains himself having been
severely wound.*]- Capt R. and the survivors
were compelled to retreat before superior num
bers.
Capt. R. rallied his men, and returned the fire,
killing three of the Indians, (who are supposed
to have been sixty or seventy in number.) This
new outbreak is presumed to lie owing to the de
struction, by Major Loomis’ command, of some
of the crops of the savages, in the vicinity of An
nultalliga and Harnosassa, 130 acres of corn, four
feet high, having been destroyed by the troops,
as also some sweet potatoes, partly ready for use,
and a variety of other vegetables.
Capt Rains, previously to leasing the Fort,
had concealed in the hammock, a shell, covered
with blankets, which the Indians removed, and
the shell exploding, some of them, it is presumed
lost their lives, as blood was seen about the spot
by the troops.
A volunteer, named Zanders, of Capt. Hinely’s
company, was killed about the same lime, by In
dians, about four miles from Newnansville, and
another man wounded. Thevc while men were
alone.
On the same night, Stanley’s plantation, with
in three miles of Newnansville, was visited by j
the Indians, and houses, with the crop of last year
totally destroyed.— Sav. Georgian.

Gen. Harrisou and the Alien and Sedition
La«.
One of ibe unfounded accusations 'against
Gen. Harrison, made by the Locofocos. is that
he was in favor of the Alien and Sedition Law
of Joiin Adams. This charge is baldly put forth
in the sdraioistralien journals. and repeated as a
fad. by their orators in the public assemblies.
Tneoaiy authority adduced to substantiate this
charge is, that of the eccentric John Randolph,
who, in a speech in Congress in 1826. charged
Geo. Harrison with having been “ an open zeal
nos. frank supporter of the Sedition law and the
i Sack cockade administration of John Adams."’
Gen. Harrison promptly replied to Mi. Randolph
and his sfreech. as reported by Gales and Seaton,
:? to !-e found in their Congressional Debates,
voi. 2 part I. page 365. It is as follows.
“In the coatse of thia debate, Mr. Harrison
said, that he c uld not retrain from making his
acknowledgements to the gentleman from Virgin
ia for the notice ue had been pleased to take of
biin. He has t>een pleased to say, that in the ad
ministration of Mr. Adams. I was a Federalist,
and he comes to that conclusion from the course
pursued by mein 1759-1800. At that session,
ibe gentleman and myself met for the first tia-e
—he in toe station of Representative from Vir
ginia. and I ia the more humble one of Delegate
from the Northwestern Territory. Having no
▼otc, I did not think it proper to take part in the
discus ion of any of the great political questions
which divided the twn parties. My business was
to procure the passage of the bills which I intro
duced for the benefits of the peoole which I re
presented.—7'he gentleman had no means of
knowing my political sentiments, unless he ob
tained them from private conversation. As I
was upon terms of intimacy with the gentle
man, it is very probable that he might have heard
me express sentiments favorable to the then ad
minisration. I certainly felt them—so far, at
least, as to the course pursued by it in relation to
the government of France. Nor, said Mr. H ,
was I unsupported in that opinion by those who
had a control of my actions, if not my opinions.
In no part of the country were those measures
more decidedly approbated than by my immedi
ate constituents, the legislature of the Northwest
ern Territory, as the address of that body to the
president, during that session, w ill clearly show.
For Mr. Adams, said Mr. H., I entertained at that
time, anti have ever since entertained, the great
est respect. I l>e!ieved him to bean honest man
and a pure patriot, and his conduct during that
session proved him to be such. This opinion. I
know, said Mr. H., was entertained by tiiosetwo
able and upright statesmen, John Marshall and
James A. Rayard. To the question asked by
Mr. Randolph, whether Mr. H. recollected a con
: versalion between Mr. Nicholas and himself, in
' relation to the negroes and politics of Virgina,
i Mr. A. answered] —I recollect it perfectly well,
\ but can that be adduced as evidence of my favor-
I ing the Sedition law !”
It is important to note here, that the above ex
j tract, which is only about one half of the speech,
i as reported, has been published in many of the
Van Buren papers, among which are the Rich
i mond Enquirer, Nashville Union, Ac.. as proof
I that Gen. Harrison admitted the charge to be true.
; They have wilfully and designedly led astray
; many a “youthful orator” by withholding that
part of Gen. Harrison’s speech, in which he ex
plicitly denies the charge of Mr. Randolph. By
I this unfairness and disingenuoesness, on the part*
i of the loco foco journals, many •’n bones», well
meaning loco foco orator, is ftTuced to make a
charge which cannot he sustained, and by an ex
hibition of the whole speech, is made to appear
in a supreme'y ridiculous light before his fellow
citizens. The conclusion of the speech, as re
ported by Gales <Sc Seaton, is as follows :
“ Mr. Nicholas was my relation and intimate
friend; the conversation was entirely j jcular, and
so considered by that gentleman at the time, and
j ever after. I w ill never resort to any one to sup
port an assertion of mine in a matter of fact. But,
if I choose to do so, the gentleman from Mary
j laud, who sits opposite to me, and who was the
brother-in-law of Mr. Nicholas, knows the undc
viating friendship and suppoft which I received
from Mr. Nicholas, through his whole political
life, Mr. Jefferson was at that time Vice-Presi
dent of the United States, and was upon the most
intimate terms with Mr. Nicholas. He took his
seat as President of the Senate within fifteen
minutes after the conversation alluded to had
passed. If it had been considered in any other
i light by Mr. Nicholas than a joke, Mr. Jefferson
would certainly have heard of it, and would cer
tainly have withheld those evidences of his confi
dsnee and regard which I received from him dur
ing the whole course of his administration. But.
sir, said Mr. Harrison, mt opposition to the
j Alien and Bbiiition Laws was so wt.u
KNOWN IN THE TERRITORY, THAT A PROMISE
j WAS EXTORTER PROM ME Bt MI PR IEN 1)8 IN THE
Legislature, nv wnicu I was elected,that
I WOULD EXPRESS NO OPINIONS IN PIIILADEL
. PHI A WHICH WERE IN THE LEAST CALCULATED
TO DEFEAT THE IMPORTANT OBJECTS WITH
which I was guahged. As I had no vote. I
was not called upon to express my sentiments
lin the House. The Republican party were all
in favor of the measures I wished to have adopt
ed. But the Federalists were the majority. Pru
dence, therefore, and my duty to my constituents,
rendered it proper that I should refrain from ex
pressing sentiments which would injuriously af
fect their interests, and if expressed, could not
have the least influence upon the decisions of
Congress.”
Now, we honestly appeal to all candid men,
does Gen. Harrison, in the above speech, confess
the correctness of the charge made by Mr. Ran
dolph, as is stated by Thos. Ritchie and others ?
No one can deny that the very reverse is true.
Taking the speech entire, as reported in the Con
gressional Debates, it is plain, that General Har
rison, not only did not confess the charge, but that
he intended explicitly to deny and refute it, and
to explain the reason of Mr. Randolph’s mistake
as to his sentiments, in a manner perfectly natu
| ral, and perfectly consistent with his denial.
Extensive Forgeries. —The Phladelphia
Gazette of May Ist says : “ Our community was
this morning thrown inloconsiderable excitement
arising from whispers and surmises relative to
forgeries said to have been made yesterday, as
reported on, every bank incur city and liberties.
Upon making enquiry we ascertained the follow
ing facts: It appears that accounts have been
opened in the several hanks in the names of Va
narsdale <Sr Robert, Steiner 4r Wood , and George
B. McKee 4' Co. all of whom, if we understood
correctly, had given their residence at No. 42,
Walnut street. Yesterday, checks were drawn
by Vanargdak <V Roberts, and deposited by one
or other of the above mentioned firms, with the
word “ good” written thereon, and the name of
the Teller forged. The check exhibited to us
was remarkably well done. After depositing
these checks, the amount was then drawn out
without suspicion. When the banks as usual,
made their exchanges this morning the fraud
was detected ; but too late to secure the offenders,
as they had availed themselves of one or other
of the many facilities our city affords, for making
an escape. It also appears that no such firms
ever done business at No. 42 Walnut street.—
The amount of money obtained by these lorgeries,
wo could not ascertain ; but report says, not far
short of twenty thousand dollars.

Connecticut Election Anecdotes. —The
most thorough-going frank, and true hearted sup
porter of Mr. Van Buren's administration in
Connecticut, is 8 K , a respectah e met- i
chant of Hartford. He goes *• the whole figure,"*’ !
always—swallowing the quadruped,** bristles and
ail,” if ex-Benator Niles says it is necessary to
he done. But while he thus acts fur the good |
of *• the party,” he always thinks for himself,
and is a great lover of the picturesque in politics. ■
If there is anv amusement to be derived from
, them, he is sure to enjoy it; and if fun can be f
made, he will make it. We give the fallowing .
illustrations of his vein and bis honesty—prom
ising that we car fully ascertained at Hartford
the other day, that they were substantially true.
—Some time before the election, on meeting
Judge Niles, Mr. K . accosted his as follows;
*• Good morning. Judge. How a r e you to day! j
—We shall lick them, shan’t we ■"
Ex-Senator. li To be sure we shall. Too
much said about low wages, though.”
A.“ I say Senator, I've been thinking
that it is about time for me to have an office. I
went through all the wars of Old Hickory, and
no man has been more thorough-going for the
party than I have.”
Ex-Senator. ‘ I’ve l>een thinking as much
. Mr, K . Its no more than reasonable, hat
would you like to have!”
K . “ Any thing that is a good one. I
want something that I can make something of,
these hard limes.”
Ex-Senator. “ Well, Mr. K . you are a
commercial man, and have long been in ibe V\ est ,
India trade, suppose we should make you C'barge
to Texas 1”
K . “I don’t know about that, Judge. I
think you should make me a Scb-Tbeascreh. 1
In due time I shall then find my way to Texas
myself !”
Ex-Senator. “Good morning, Mr. K ,
I’m in a hurry this morning. We’ll see about
it.”
On the afternoon of the election day, when
both parties weie bestirring themselves in bring
ing up voters to the utmost, two of the Van Bu
ren committeemen, meeting with K , inqui
• red ,
“ Dick Jones is at work fur you, ain’t he 1”
K . “Yes.”
Com. “Has he voted yet!”
K. “I don’t know.”
Com. “Don’t know! Why, hav’nt you at
tended to him!”
K . “I hired him to work, not to vote.”
Com. “ But the good of the party, you know.
It’s ail right with Jones, is’nt it ?”
K . “ I suppose so, but I don't know.”
Coin. ‘-Don’t know, again 1 Why, hav’nl

K . “No—l tell you I hired him to work

Com. “ And vou don’t know his politics.”
K . “No.”

K. . “Can’t say. He is yonder in the

Com. “Well- what do you think yourself!”

his work.—ln the second place, he is a very hon

is worth while to go and bring him to the polls.”
Committeemen Musing. —“Why, I guess,
on the whole, Mr, K . I guess we won’t go.”

-
Sides Changing.—There does an occasional
incident occur that shows conclusively, that the
; hardworking and Industrious mechanics, and la
! boring classes, are daily quitting the Van Buren
ranks.—We know of one, which, though in a
small way. speaks volumes against the spoilsmen
who brought on the present hard times. Walk-
I ing up Vine street a few evenings since, immedi
ately behind two men, one an Irishman, both
staggering along under the weight of a heavy
load of paint buckets, banging on a pole, the pole
resting on a shoulder of each, we heard the fol
lowing colloquy. Those men were mechanics,
it seems, and for want of employment at their re
spective trades, they were compelled to resort to
all kinds of drudgery to gain a livelihood.—One
addressed the other with
“ I say Pat. I reckon we missed it when we vo
ted for Van Buren. last time.”
“ And, is it versolf that thinks that same, mv
frind
“Yes do I. If Van—confound hint—hadn’t
been elected President, we would’nt have been
compelled to quit our trades to do day labor for
our bread.”
“ Och ! heney, an I’ll till ye how wc'l! rimidy
that, won’t we go for oukl “Tap" next time, faith
jist.”
W e commend the above speech to our loco
foco friends in this city, especially their cham
pions, who are attempting to lead public opinion;
for it is very evident from recent indications that
some of them at least have not seen the conclud
ing part, as given above. By knowing all the
facts, they will be enabled to appear to much
belter advantage before the public, and be spared
the mortification of being again held up to ridi
! cule lor lack of that information which is indis
; pensably requisite for all who attempt toenligh
| le i the public mind.
It is necessary that one fact should be borne in
i mind. Mr. Randolph is the only person who
I ever charged Gen. Harrison with being an advo
cate of the Sedition law, and this charge of Mr.
immediately denied, and promptly repelled
by Gen. Harrison himself, on the floor of the
United States Senate in the speech above report
ed.
The Yeoman exposes an insinuation of the
government organ against Gen. Harrison’s mili
tary reputation, by an extract from the Enquirer
in its honest days. Referring lo the benefits se
; cured to the country by the battle of the Thames,
j the Enquirer of the 19th October, 1813. says:
I “ These benefits we owe to the intrepidity of
Perry, who paved the way and to Harrison,
whose skill, prudence, and zeal have at length
i reaped their just reward. This gallant General
has now pul all his enemies to shame.. After
strugging with difficulties under which an ordi
nary man would have sunk, after passing through
a wilderness of morass and mud, so difficult of
access that the. wagon horses could not curry pro
lender enough to support them during the jour
ney. he reached the consumation of all his labors;
repairs the vices of Hull; wipes cflf the stain
which he had cast upon our arms; stands on the
j ruins of Malden; muzzles the Indian war-dog,
and proves to the world that Americans want
' only an opportunity to display the same gallant
ry on the shore which they have done upon the
wave.”

A Compliment.—The London Atheneum
in an article on American Travellers, save :
“ Whether, like Messrs. Willis, Fay and

society and distinguished persons, or like Mr.

Tbe Great WErm l *.—From • report P
sented at the annual met ling of the proprietor*
of the Great Western Company, held at Bristol
on the 26th of March, it appears that the nett
profit of the company during tbe year 1839 was
£9.912, or near £50.000. The average of her

since, a wagon was attacked between Fort Fan

i twenty or thirty Indians. A guard of six regu
lars kepi the Indians at bay for about two hours,
gallantly holding their ground until their ammuni
! lion was nearly exhausted, when they made a
charge and routed the Indians. The officer in
command was wounded on the first fire from the
Indians, but was brought oflfbv his fellows. An
Indian and a big negro were killed by the guard.

Tar. iabgf.st Gt v yet.—There was cast at
the works of the West Point Foundry Associa
tion, Cold Spring, N. V., on the 30th ult.. a can
non of 12 inches bore, for projecting either shells
1 or solid shot, the former weighing 100, and the
latter 240 lbs. The gross weight of this, the

Bolts in Horses.
Coweta Cou.vtt, June 10, 1833.
Dr. Bartlett—l have lately seen published, se
) veral medical directions for the cure of Butts in
horses ; and as I do not like any of them, I think
1 lean prescribe a more certain and effectual rem
edy. The several publications that I have seen
j are not deadly enough in their operations to de
stroy the botts. It is well known that the botts
are not easily removed or destroyed, and when
they commence their operations, they will in a
little time kill the horse unless they are quickly
removed. Some of the publications that I have
seen, recommend fish brine, hickory ashes, spirits
and molases, and the bowels of chickens.
recommendations I consider wholly idle and in
effectual. and as well calculated to cure the Spa
, vin or Big Head, as to kill or destroy the opera
tions of the botts. i Ley hold with considerable
tenacity to their prey, and if nothing more dele
terious and quick in its operations is applied
than fish brine, hickory ashes, spirits and molas
ses, or chicken cats, they will soon destroy the
horse. The only certain cure is N'ux Vomica,
i When it is discovert d that the botts have com
menced their operation, take three or four but
i tons or Nux Vomica, rasp them up, put them
into a quart bottle, pour into the bottle a gill of
bailing water, then shake it until the Nux Vomi
ca is sufficiently dissolved. After doing so add
1 to the gill of boiling water cold w ater enough to
1 prevent the hot water from injuring the horse:
1 then drench the horse with it, and it will in a
‘ little lime relieve the horse from their deadly
operations. It may be thought that it might in
-1 jure the horse—if so, it is a mistaken idea, for I
have repeatedly made experiments with it; I ha\e
: given in desperate and stubborn cases as many
’ as eighteen uultons of it, and it never injured
- my horses in tbe smallest degree. It will nut in
’ j jure gramnivomus animals, and the botts are of
' j different species; they are the carnivorous ani
mals; they live by sucking their nutriment, and
when the horse is drenched with ihe Nux Vomi
ca they suck in the liquid, and in a little time
| they become so completely intoxicated with its
deleterious effects that they are compelled to quit
their prey—it destroys them effectually. Asa pre
ventive against the botts, a quantity of the Nux
Vomica should be kept rasped up, and at three or
four different times in the course of the year, give
three or four buttons of it at each time to each
horse. It will not only destroy the botts, but it
will gi-.e the horse a good appetite to eat and
| make him thrive off kindly.
Yours, ' 0. K. KENAN.
Removing the Deposites.—We leam that
Deposites to the amount of $45,000 in specie
! were yesterday removed from the Sub-Treasurv.
in 2d street below Walnut, usually denominated
the Custom House, to the U. S. Bank. This
removal from place to place is, at least, beneficial
to tdie drayman who “toted” it, as our New York
j friends say.— Phil. A. American,2d inst.
The Friends we Loved in Childhood.
A BALLAD BT C. W. EVEREST.
The friends we loved in childhood,
Oh, whither have they fled 1
Beneath the village church yard.
They slumber with (he dead !
In peace they rest beneath the sod,
Their earthly lobors o’er:
Oh, thri friends that we lov’d in our early yo u th
We shall meet on earth no more!
.
The friends wc loved in childhood,
Wh en life was young and gay—
How blithesome were then bosoms
Throughout the joyous dav ;
And lightly tripped their merry feet
Across the flowery plain—
But the friends that we lov’d in our early youth,
We ne’er shall meet again!
The friends we loved in childhood,
How fond their memory seems !
They haunt us in our slumbers—
They whisper in our dreams!
And then we wake with saddened heart,
To find our bliss but vain :
For the triends that we lov d in our early youth,
We ne’er shall meet again I
The friends we loved in childhood,
Oh, peaceful lie their rest;
And green may be the willow,
That sighs above their breast ?
And when in death we lowly sleep,
Secure from ail our pains;
Oh, the friends that we lov’d in our early youth,
May we meeuin peace again !
