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?

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 vocate. From the _V. 1”. Florniag Herald. 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.

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. From the Charleston Mercury. 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. , m ist hap: y o .itUrm you, g nt'rrren, tnat I have this coy signed ti e biil for the -a j.ifoment of on Independent Treasury, a measure ol which you speak in decided com i mendation. By tins measure, the manage men* of an important branch of our national concerns, of era departure of near!/ half a century, will he brought hack to tfie letter, as well as the obvious spirit and intention of the Constitution.
