State and that of Pennsylvania, in caning fugitive
Slaves to be secured; and will continue to effect such
objects, if possible, whenever called upon. His plans
are so well matured, by having, at his command, the
most efficient aid, located at different points, and suc

There neither is, nor can there be, anv law of this

necessary for those who may wish the services of Mr.

with him from me about SIOO in money, 25 of which
was American Gold, the balance on the PI inters’ and

lieve that he lias been seduced away by some white
man, as he has hitherto been been very trustworthy,
and generally bore the character of an honest and
faithful servant.
i am induced to believe that he is making way to
North Carolina, where he was raised, or to Ohio, “as I
have been informed, since he left, that he expressed a
desire to go with some free negroes who lately left
Columbus, Ga., for that Stats.
I will give Jjt.'U reward fur the Negro, if delivered to

From the New York Era.
‘We stoop to conquer.’ —This insulting
motto, which was bon e so triumphantly in
the procession of the British Whig Convention
at Baltimore, lias called from the pet. of our
private correspondent, B. H. the following in
dignant rebuke. Lei it be read and preserv
ed.
THE DEMOCRAT’S REBUKE.
“You stoop to conquer?’’ cursed the tltought—
The bp that spoke —die band that penii’u it—
Our countrv Duver shall be bought.
Nor conquered, while we can defend it.
As br.ives the storm —the mo.uuain rock,
As cleaves the cloud —the eagle's pinion,
We’ll meet oppression’s battle sh ck,
And triumph o’er corruption’s minion.
“You stoop to conquer?” Who are you?
Tha l from your mountain height deceiving,
Break fashion’s cobweb barriers through,
And with the sons of freemen blending,
With golden bribe and treacherous smite,
Sow the vile seeds of rank pollution,
And with your reptile slime dehie.
The temple of our Constitution?
‘You stoop to conquer”—stoop from v.hat,
High pinnacles ofioftv stations?
What proud pre-er, inence is that,
Whence ye descend to conquer nations?
Poor nurseling-; of the Federal stye,
Fed on the husks of aristocracy,
Ye quail in fear beneaih the eye
Os nature’s true and tried democracy.
“You s'oop to conquer ’ —whom? the free
Inheritors of glory’s banner,
Who never ye; have bow’d th • knee,
Nor sung oppression’s loud hosannah—
Children of sires whose valor tore
From tyrant brows the diadem,
And in the march of nation’s bore
The first proud trophy won from them?
“We stoop to conquer” —may the name
Os him who bore that banner, linger
Forever on the roll of shame
A mark for scorn’s unmoving finder.
May they who hailed that banner when
Its dark folds to the air were given,
Traitors alike to Go I and r.v-v,
From freedom’s home in scorn bo driven.
Back to your dens, poor drivelling fools,
Born in corruption’s darkest regions,
Fit oniy for the servile tools
Os tyranny’s accursed legions,
The hearts of freemen whi.e they keep,
Watch o’er the rights tiieir sires bequeath them,
Shall blast with curses, loud and deep,
The words you’ve breath’d, and lip s that bream’d
them. 13. H.
From the Catskill Recorder, of June 25.
‘GEN. HARRISON AT LARGE.’
In the Recorder of the 4th inst.
we published fin article, a column in
length, under the above heading,
copied from tlie Washington Globe,
giving the particulars of a street
rencountre of Gen. Harrison with
Gen. Hale, a member of the Method
ist Church in Cincinnati’.
It was Mr. Buchanan’s explana
tion of Harrison’s participation in
making this act a law of the Terri
tory,and its effect upon poor citizens
that caused the candidate of Feder
alism for the Presidency to make j
use of the blasphemous language at- j
tributed to him on that occasion.—
No sooner was the account made
public at a distance from the place
where it occurred, titan the Federal
leaders gave their followers the cue,
and it was pronounced a newspaper
fabrication coined for poiiiicn! effect.
Such has been the case in this coun
ty. Its falsity has been open!) as
serted. A dispute arose upon the
subject in the town of Windham,
and one of the parties concerned,
Mr. Strong, to satisfy himself and
friends more fully, addressed a let
ter of inquiry to Gen. Hale, whose
answer confirms all that has been
published. The following is the
correspondence :
Sciejiceville, j\ r . Y. J\lat/ 27, 1840.
Gen. Charles Hale—Sir—Hav
ing’ observed in the Cincinnatti Ad
vertiser, a statement of a rude at
tack upon you by Gen. Harrison in
the streets of Cincinnati, which in
the opinion of the people generally
is highly discreditable to General H.
if true; but being a ‘newspaper ac
count,’ many are not disposed to
irive it credence—Therefore 1 take
the liberty of addressing an enquiry
to you in relation to the truth of said
statement. By giving particulars |
of the affair at your earliest conve
nience, you will oblige,
Respectfully, your obedient scr’t,
E. P. STRONG.
Cincinnatti , June 4 tk, 1840.
E. P. Strong •, Esq.
Dear Sir—Yours of the 27th ult.
came duly to hand, and in answer,
I have to inform you that the enclos
ed statement of the attack of Gen.
Wm. H. Harrison upon me is sub
stantially correct, and took place on
fifth street, in front of my office, du
ring the last month, after the mel t
ing of the Democracy in tins city,
and on the evening thereafter.
The conversation was as follows:
—The General asked me if 1 was
at the meeting at the Court House
when Buchanan made his speech i
I answered I was not. lie (tiioGe
neral) then commenced cursing Bu
chanan; —said Buchanan had ca
lumniated him, and was a DAM IN
ED SCOUNDREL for saying that
he had signed a hill while Governor
of Indiana, that a man should not
vote without holding fifty acies of
land; GOD DAMN HlM,‘(Buchan
an) he was a lawyer and knew bet
ter for the ordinane of the Territo
ry required it, and he (Harrison)
would not veto any law the legisla
ture passed. I then said to him—
they make some charges against j
you in the morning papers about
selling white men at auction by the
sheriff, in Indiana. Pie (Harrison)
then said, there were a great many
horse thieves; we had in the Terri
tory no Penitentiary, and jails of
very little consequence, and had no
other way of punishing them. Ij
then said to him (Harrison,) did this
law allude to all crimes, or only toi
the higher? He answered, it allud
ed to all! I then remarked —how
did Mr. Buchanan calumniate you,
when he only explained the law?—
He (Harrison) got into a violent pas
sion, trembled and frothed at mouth
and said Buchanan was a DAMN
ED SCOUNDREL, and any per
son who took his part, and the par
ty were nil n set of DAMNED
SCOUNDRELS (!!!) I then re
marked to him, that this was strong
language to use to me, and I should
not permit it. He (Harrison) then
said, by way of an apology, that he
did not know, that 1 was a friend of
Buchanan. I then asked him if he
did sign the law to sell while wen at
auction while Go\ernor of Indiana.
He said, he did. I said, 1 think you
did wrong. lie replied Ithink I did
right. I said, t hen, General, you
will give me the same privilege, to
think for myself. This is the sub
stance of the attack.
Gen. Harrison called on me next
morning, and after conversing on
the subject, said ‘I (Harrison) must
retract. I acknowledge 1 did wrong
hist evening. I must retract.’ i
then told him I knew he would come
hack, and observed to him I had
prayed for him on my knees, lie
thanked me, and left.
These are the Facts, and as the
truth, I must give this answer.
Your obedient servant,
CHARLES HALE.
First as to General Harrison’s ad
mission. |LIe admits he possessed
the veto power, hut would not use it
upon ‘■any law ihe legislature passed.’
he admits (hat he signed the bill to
seli white men at auction, and is of
the opinion that he did right for that
they had no Penitentiary, arid jails
were of very little consequence. —
Was Ohio without a Penitentiary
when he voted for a similar law for
that State? Jails, we presume, he
has ever considered of ‘ very little
consequence.' 1 lie admits that the
Indiana law was not intended for the
punishment of the higher grade of
crimes, but was to apply to all crimes
committed within the limits of the
Territory. \ es, for inability to pay
*fines and costs’ obtained for trivial
offences, such as ‘card playing,’ keep
ing nine-pin alleys,’ ‘assaults and
battery,’ ‘driving faster than a walk
over a bridge,’ ‘selling a glass of li
quor without license,’ &c., &,c.
Inhumanity is certainly one very
prominent feature of his character,
tis these legislative acts making poor
people liable to he sold in default of
payment of ‘fine and costs,’ however
small the amount, show.
Finally, in regard to his profani
ty. This portion of his character
we leave for the consideration of
professors of religion. We are con
tent with the fact that in no instance
can charges of the kind he brought
against Mr. Van Buren. How far
Gen. Harrison is a beiittinff candi
date for the Presidency, the people
will judge, to the severe rebuke of
the different factions which now com
pose the Federal party.
Go it, you darkies —The Louisville
Advertiser of the 20th June, states
upon the authority of a gentleman
who witnessed the late celebration
.at Tippecanoe, that there was a bo
dy of at least 1000 negroes in atten
dance, decorated with Harrison bad
ges, and headed by five neg roe dele
gates from Tennessee hearing ap
propriate abolition devices.
Jin Incident.— A la ughabie incident occurred
in New Cumberland, (Fa.) some time since, the
circumstances of which we give just as vve go!
them fiom one who professed to be acquainted
with the transaction. An old gentleman far
mer, who had two or three very pretty daugh
ters, was so very cautious of his charge that he
would not permit them to keep the company
of goring gentlemen, h* wt-ver, they adopted
the following expedient to pr.jov the company
of their lovers, without the knowledge o( their
lather. Alter the old man had retired to rest,
r.e girls would hang a sheet out of the window,
which was qude a distance from the ground,
and the beaux would seize hold of the sheet,
and, with the assistance of his lady-love, who
tugged lustily at the sheet above,'would thus
gam an entrance; but it so happened that one
evening the girls hung out the sheet rather too
early —for the old gentleman, by some ill wind, j
was blown round the corner, and spying i he!
sheet could not conjecture tiie meaning of its
being there—so he took hold and endeavoured
to puli it down, t he girls above, supposing it to
be one of their beaux, began to hoist, and did
not discover their mistake until the head of the
old man was level with tire window sill; when
ore of them exclaimed ‘Oh L >rd !—it’s Dad !’
and letting go their hold of the sheet, souse I
came the old man on the hard ground and
stones below, dislocating one of his shoulders,
which convinced him that his efforts to make
old maids out of his daughters was a matte:
not so easily accomplished, and, withdrawing
ail further opposition to their keeping company,
he was soon a father-in-law. — Freeman's JIJ

the gigantic scheme of the
EAST INDIA COMPANY—THECI L
TIVATION OF COTTON IN INDIA
UNDER THE SUPERINTENDENCE
OF AMEMICNAS.
It vvi.l f>e remembered that we were the first
journal to give notice of the movements of the
East India Company, by means of their agent,
Cap*. Bav'es, in the southern states, in relation
jto cotton planting. Several journals attempt
ed to throw discredit on our statements at the
1 the time, and to doubt the designs and the
{ magnitude of the intentions of that company
ias we pointed them out. We presume that
1 all doubt on the subject will cease when the
following important paragraph from the ‘Man’
Chester Guardian’is attentively read;—
Cultivation cf Cotton in the East Indies. —
V, T e are g!ad to fi:*d, that the East ind ; a Com
pany rre prosecuting the design of improving
•he ctihiviiii m of cotton in tiieir territories, with
a vigour commensurate with the importance of
tlie olj cr which they have in view. We men
lio ted, a few days ago, the arrival of several
individuals from the United S'atcs, with saw
gins and oiher machinery for the cleansing of
cotton; and we now c-opy (he following para
graph, on the subject from ihe fitlas. ‘Capifin
Btvies. of the 52d Madras N. 1., whom tlie
Hon. E. !. C. deytU and to Amt ricsi, for tee
purpose of making inquiries regai ding the sys
tem adopted m that country in the culture of
cotton, has returned (o L muon, Slaving ac
complished tlie oh j cls of Ins mission. The
American plan, in its elaborate detail, is jr.fi
itelv superior to the la lim (comparatively)
primitive one; and very extensive advat tageis
accordingly anticipated by its introduction into
India. In the event of wr.r with .Imcrica, we
shad th:w, {, dug time, he independent of that
country for the sir-dy cf a staple commodity of
every extensive i"iliiy. and productive of no in
considerable profit. Great ere;! it is due to the
indefatigable officer, through whoce unwearied
zeal and acute observation this national benefit
is to accrue. Independent of tlie efficient
manner in which he has compassed the imme
diate objects of bis embassy, he has, in the
course of his travels in America, collected at
personal risk lor the inclemencies of a remark
ably unhealthy climate, and a sojourn in tlie
countries where the prop cl ion of ihe law, is as
were, but the nomi’.is umbra, a mass of valua
ble information connected with the nunutim of
cotton miiivation, which must eventually
prove of vast value and importance to the
thorough organization of the system about to
be diffused throughout rur eastern possessions.
The detailed exoosition of the plan about
to be pursued by Captain Bn vies would occu
py too much ofourspace: suffice it to sny, that
experienced American planters have been en
gaged by him lo proceed to India to originate
it, and to instruct the natives; and thru no ex
pense has been spared by ihe Hon. the East
India company, in the purchase ofmachinerv,
Sic. to realize tlie grand object of this novel
and interesting enterprise.’ We understand
that Captain Bayles is now in this town col
lecting information connected with tlie object
of bis mission, and that he feels the utmost
confidence in its speedy and complete success
—a confidence in which we fully participate.
Here, then, we have a!! that we stated fully
confirmed, by the very best au hority, and the
whole p‘an exposed, in England, now that
concealment is no longer necessary. The
length of our interesting letter From one ofour
English correspondents, prevents a longer
comment on the subject today, but we shall
return to it. Connected with the great Anti-
Slavery agitation it) London, also set on foot
by the East India company, it rises into im
mense importance; and we cal! on every A uteri
can to ponder well on this matter. Vve find that
the agent, Captain Bayles, was in Liverpool
vvhenthe Britanna left, with the patentee of the
improved cotton gin; they were t igeihei at Faw
cett’s large foundry, superintending the manu
facture of a quantity of machinery, for prepar
ing the cotton for market, and making other
important arrangements for carrying out their
plan of raising cotton in India, on the most
extensive scale imaginable.

PROTECTION.
The following extract from a late number
of the London Banker’s Circular, a paper
whose superior information and scrupulous
candor have given it the very highest author
ity on both sides the Atlantic, should he com
mended especially to the attention of those
who cry out for protection of domestic man
ufactures:
‘There are, however, other circumstances
arising out ol the perplexed monetary affairs
of the United States which the British man
ufacturers should consider, however disagree
able it may be to us to he the means ol call
ing tlieit attention to them. The price of
manufacturing iubor in the United Slates lias
fallen, vve bilieve, more than one-third from
the scale of 1336-’7. One consequence of
this is to reduce the costs of production, far
capitalists lower profits on stock, when labor
ers sink their wages. We are credibly in
formed that some kind of cotton goods man
faclured in the Nortern Stales ol lhe Repub
lic can be brought to England, pay the im
port duty and other charges, and he sold in
the Manchester market at ten per cent, under
the present low prices of similar goods nvide
in Lancashire. From the same authority
we learn that hatchets made in the United
States can be sold in Birmingham, s i as to pay
a much higher profit to the importers than
the “piece goods’ 5 from the same country
would afford when sold at Manchester. We
have heard of nothing which threatens to
trench upon the woollen and worsted, silk,
pottery, linen, and hosiery branches of Brit
ish manufactures; but the foregoing facts we
consider to he ominous and untoward indica
tions of forthcoming rivalry, which cannot
fail, in the course of a brief space of time, to
affect some of the most flourishing ofour man
ufacturing interests. We believe that after
every period of. severe pressure, the factories
of the United States will get into activity and
afford remunerative profits to their owners
much eariier than those of England, because
wages have not in the former country been
pressed down to the lowest state c< mpatibie
with human sustenace, and will yield’to the
pressure promptly; and because the prices ol
food are extremely low, and are likely to con
tinue so for years to come. 55
Here we have distinct confirmation r.f ti e
j views of Mr. Calhoun, not in theory merely
|in but iu fact. American fabrics, made under
a sober currency, can he carried to Man
chester, pay the British duty, and he sold at
a profit 10 p°r cent, cheaper than the same
kind of English goods at their own looms! —
This seems marvelous—yet it is so staled by
the highest commercial authority on the <4 ei
side of the Atlantic. If it he said that vve are
in a r?ate of unnatural depression —is it not
equally true of the English spinners? IDs not
that country been ground down to the lowest
earth, by the pressure of bank contracti ms
fir now three years? In spite of a reduction
in the price of cotton amounting to one half,
have not the prices for their manufactures so
fallen, that they have declared i.i a body and
repeatedly that they could scarcely wo k
without sinking capita':? Os the two countries
we are sore England has frit far more gen
neraliy arid distressingly the hitter trial of
bank curtailment. Every resort that could
be used to three down the cost of production,
has been vigorously arm! perseveringly tried
by the British manufacturers. The “opera
tives have been driven to vioter.ee and open
insurrection to extort “bread for present sub
sistence. Distress could not have assumed
a more terrible shape. We have not so vuf
tered great as has been our share of the per
plexities and losses of the time. What then
is the secret of this superiorit y of our ma nu
facturers over the English at this time? The
fact if xve mistake not greatlv, is one involv
ing no less a principle than free trade. Our
present system of duties and taxation, though
still imperfect, approaches far more nearly
than that of any other commercial people to
a state of equality. Hence a fall of prices is
general, and lights in something like just pro
portion upon every article of commerce and
consumption as well as industry. Whereas
the revenue and excise system of England,
fixes a price upon a great part of the means
of subsistence which places them almost be
yond the reach of a fall of prices. What mat
ters, for instance a tall in the price of spirits,
if they pay at the custom house, a fixed duty
par. gallon, which duty is three or tour limes
the ordinary cost of the article. A fluctuation
which will reduce the price of the article here
one half, would in England reduce it to the
consumer but one (enih. It is under the bur
den of such a system of laws that the British
manufacturers labor, and it is precisely this
system that our own Tariffites are endeavor
ing to inflict on us.
The British will recover from their embar
rassment and so shall we. What then, by
by past experience, will he the relative situa
tion of the two countries? The former will
continue comparatively sober—while we
dashing ahead into every wild current, throw
ing away solid capital on visionnrv projects
and endeavoring to sustain real labor on vis
;on ary capital shall raise prices to the clouds,
diminish industry, get rich one and nil on
nothing but moonshine and end in a universal
explosion. To this will succeed as before
u period of vigorous toil, in which the Ameri
cans will shew, as they have been shown,
that when they set themselves to work in
earnest with necessity driving them they can
do more than any other people in the world,
r LETTER OF MR. VAN BUREN.
We publish today the letter ol the Presi
dent in reply loan invitation given him to be
present at a public meeting and entertain
ment which was held at the" White Sulphur
Springs, on the 11th of this month, bv the
Democratic citizens of the counties of’Fay
ette, Woodford, and Scott, in Kentucky, ‘it
should be read and contrasted with the sickly
and unmanly letters of the opposition candid
ate lor the Presidency.
Washington, July 4, IS4O.
Gentlemen:— l have had the honor to
receive the invitation which you have been
pleased to give me in behalf of‘the Democrat
ic citizens of the counties of Fayette, \\ ood
tord, and Scott, to be present .as a guest at a
public meeting and entertainment to be held
by them at tiie W liite Sulphur Springs, in
Scott county, Kentucky, on the lltli just.
I ruly grateful lor this mark of their respect
and kindness, I can but regret that my pub
lic duties will not permit me to express my
gratefulness face to face.
.that I have been so fortunate as so secure
‘the entire approbation of the Democracy of
Kentucky,’ that they look upon me as ‘true to
the Constitution of the United Stales,’ the
.’cpresenlative and advocate ol their principles
m the Executive department” of our Govern
ment , cannot but alibrd me peculiar satisfac
tion, cotning. as it does, from a highly respec
table portion of the ancient and time-honored
patriots of ihat noble State, and from the sons
of those who, in their day, were the pillars of
ihe Republic. History, gentlemen, must be
false to her duly when she ceases to inform
mankind, that it was by Kentucky that the
first e flee tun I blow was struck at the danger
ous principles introduced into the adininistra-’
lion of our Government soon after the adop
tion of the Constitution—principles which had
already led to acts of fearful usurpation, and
threatened speedily to destroy as well the
rights ol the Slates as the liberties of the peo
ple. It was the Kentucky Resolutions, back
ed by those of her patriotic parent State,
which changed ihe current of public opinion
and brought Lack the administration of the
Government to the principles of the Revolu
tion. bor forty years the Demoracy of the
Union have looked upon those resolutions as
the creed of their political faith; political de
generacy has been marked by departure from
that standard: and like the original language
of the Bible in matters of religion, they are
the text book of every reformer.
Nothing could more effectually prove the
pmity of the principles then announced than
ihe progress they have since made in the
minds ol men. While even the name ot the
proud and powerful party which opposed
.item, have come 1o be considered a term of
reproach, if not of ignominy and insult, the
principles of the Kentucky resolutions, in
profession if notin fact, now enter into the
meed of every political sect, and ti.e once
derided name borne by their apostles arid
advocates, is considered an essential passport
to p.ipuiai ity and success. Nay, more, the
people almost with one voice Lave recently
recognized and consecrated the principles of
those resolutions by an act as impressive and
emphatic as it is possible for a nation to per
form. Since your letter has been lying before
me wailing for a repiy, it has become my
agreeable duty to confirm the fiat of the
nation settling for ever the unconstituticnalilv
ol the sedition law of 1795, by approving an
aci fr ti.e reiiet of the heirs ot Mathew Lyon,
refunding to them a fine collected of their
ancestor under t lie law in question. Parly
prejud cc, judicial authority, dread of the
precedent, respect for that which has assumed
me form ol iaw for forty years, have success
fury resisted tins act ol justice, but at length
all are swept away by that irresistible cur
rent of public opinion, and the sedition act
has bet it irreversibly decided to lie unconsti
tutional by a tribunal higher than the courts
of justice—the sovereign people of the United
r-.aie<. The patriu.chs of Kentucky and
Virginia, the men who in that day,’ midst
obloquy and insult, voted for or sustained the
Kentucky and Vir-inii resolutions of 17C9,
con not but rejoice u ith a joy unspeakable in
wi:cessing t‘ e final triumph of the pure prin
cij.f s to v.meh they th*. u annou.nct and their
aiiegiance. They and their descendants have
a right to glory in seeing those principles
recognised, even at this late day by ‘the
\ acclamations of a nation, and one of ihe
tyrannical acts against which they protested
viituai y expunged from the records of the
cou.i.ry. While to aged patriots it is a sub
ject of c mgrafulu on and j >y, it teaches the
young that efforts of reform in the Govern
ment of their country ought never to he con
sidered ! opcles':, as long as there is anyth': sr
to improve, and that, if the fathers do run
e.: •> the fruits ol their exertions in the cause
Democratic princip! s, they are certain to
lull in blessings upon the children.
