Log Cibiu, Sept. 13, 1943.
In some of the Locofoc papers of the lower
stamp you rind a tirade against the American peo-.
pie, for being humbugged, as they allege, by log
cabins, coon skins, &c. in 1840. Now this charge
comes with a poor grace from a set of men who,
in every town, and at every cross-road, erected
hickory-poles, the whole hog, and other devices, be
cause Gen, Jack sou was sometimes called " Old
Hickory." In 1840 these exhibitions were made
to rebuke the party who had derided the poverty
of Gen. Harrison, and who had slandered his char-
'ftop Kut trv ci tKt flu a1 fkff irtn trqa aaAt
avi4i wu.s w ooj taw vs4 v wvr w aa uvu
by these exhibitions, is an impudent reflection 1
upon the good sense and patriotism of tne nation,
and deserves the stern, rebuke of every Ameri
can patriot. It is known to these revikre of the
people that the ablest men in the nation itinera
ted from place to place to enlighten the people
upon Wnig principles, and to snow inera the ruin
ous tendency of the administration of public af.
fairs by Mr. Van Buren and his party. It is true,
that the vast gatherings which took place to wit
ness the fervor aed enthusiasm of the Wbigs, gave
our statesmen more access to the voters. It was
theireonvmcmg arguments, and not the log cabins,
that gave us success. What will be the em
blems of the different candidates now before the
people, we cannot determine. Col. Johnson may
be represented in military costume bearing in his
band the head of Tecumseh. Mr. Buchanan may
have a lancet',' drawing from bis arm, any drop
of Democratic blood" which may be found there.
Mr. Van Buren may be represented as pointing
to his sub-treasury, with all liis keys, locks and
bolts, with Mr. Benton filling his purse and the
sub-treasury With gold eagles, fished from the
Missouri river, and proclaiming at the top of bis
voice, "Mr. Van Buren has only received from
the people, for his just services, 200,000 dollars,
being little more than eight dollars a day for eve
ry day he has liveU He must have 10XMJO0 dol
lars .more, or the democracy shall be destroyed."
Mr. Calhoun may be represented with a deed in
his hand, conveying to the different States in
which they are located, the public land. - His
motto : No Tariff. Free Trade: Foreign Mechan
ics and Foreign Fabrics in preference to our own:
State Rights and Nallification. Mr. Clay may be
represented as the bumble "mill-boy" on one side
of the flag ; but on the other should be seen- a re
presentation of all trades in prosperous condition ;
and as a fair representation of the objects of his
land biU,: school houses full of children learning to
read, and canals and railroads should be represen
ted; and if his friends choose, they tan bear in
their hands the. beautiful and fragrant Magnolia.
These and other representations may be used to
designate the prominent traits of character and
the measures advocated by the presidential can
didates. We have omitted the name of Mr. Ty
ler, because h is wholly out of the question, and
our imaginatjgp is 'not fruitful enough to fiod out
an emblem suitable to hi to, without descending to
the depiction of one , which would degrade the
high office whjch be .fills. Mr, Clay does not

elections have seemed adverse but when one o'
tnose gentlemen shall be selected to run against
him, and John Tyler shall Tiave but a few months
to bestow office, it will be seen, he wil! sweepth

friends of Cot.' Johnson in tire West seem to have
no doabt of his nomination, and look Strange at
you, if you doubt it. In Nc,w York, the friends of
Mr. Van Buren and Mr: Calhoun are at daggers
drawn about the mode f appoioting fhe couvW-'
tion. We have never doubted that Mf. Van Bu

that he would be the nominee, but we have always

Tuff, the Russian soldiery would have
reached the citadel of Warsaw, at the termi
nation of our last conquest with them, much
sooner than they did ; for, I tell you, a good,
stiff Tariff teaches the citizens of a coun
try lo rely upon their own energies, inspires
the national body with confidence in its own
resources and if you husband these, you
will fill the national coffers."
Such, too, has been our American ex
perience wilh . the protective principle.
The domestic industry of the country was
early encouraged and developed by it, and
is this moment realizing its benefits. No
measure of an ace or country ever more
completely realized the expectations of
its advocates than the Tariff of J 842.
The benefits expected were, 1st, thereri
val of the depressed manufacture of the
country ; 2d, the turning of the balance
of trade in our favor; 3d, the importation
of specie; 4lh, the reduction of foreign
goods and the use of our own. AH these
results have already occurred, and not
only occurred but are the theme of praise
by some of those who have been opposed
to the measure itself. Newark Daily.
The Tebm m Tort." The Philadelphia Fo
rum says : -A M moderate Democrat" objects to
our using the name of Tory" as the opposite to
Whig. This moderate Democrat," we venture
to assert, never calls onr party any thing but
u Federalists." Where the shoe pinches, they
want n to ease them. If modern democracy is
not ultra Toryism, we have no knowledge of the
posit ion of parties.
The name ' Tory" we believe is of Irish ori
gin, and was originally applied, to soldiers who
preyed upon the country. If any term can be
more. descriptive of the Spoilsmen of the Jate ad
ministration, we are not aware of its existence.
Sure are we; we should have to resort to another
language to find ir. De Foe says that in Eng
land, about 1680, a party of men appeared in Eng.
land, who, though pretended Protestants, applied
themselves to the ruin of their country." If for
M England" you substitute America, for M 1680,"
1829, and for pretended Protestants,' false
Democrats, yeu have the very party,it commence
ment, and its objects.
Another of the traits of this party, as recorded
by De Foe, was their zeal in giving op the M lib
erties of their country to the arbitrary will of one
man." Persecuting Dissenters" was another.
When we recollect the doctrine of (general Jack
son, that the will of the people, expressed either
formally or tnformaUy, is superior to the Consti
tution, and the refusal of Mr. Van Buren -to pay
any regard to it until it coincided with bis plans
-when we take into consideration the readiness
with which a certain party sustained 'them both,
in their, crusades against the Constitution- and
last, not least, when we reflect who it was -that
punished bis enemies as " Dissen'ers," can we
doubt to what party this title properly belongs.

will you plead the other cases I shallhave to

of my bumble abilities. So down they went to

Daniel Jaughed out ready to split hi sides at this.
Vell, says he, I guess, I might as well stand

have fairly pinned me up rh a corner of the fence

and pleaded them all.
. Restoration of a Rifle to m Cheroku Warrior.
On the 27ih March, JL814, Gen; Jackson fought
the celebrated battle at the Horse Shoe with the.
Creek Indians. The General posted the Cherokee,
Regiment together with the mounted Tennessee
Volunteers, under Gen. Coffee," oq the; opposite
side of the river, so as to surround the bend and
prevent the enemy" escaping inUhe4r c noe.
In order teenahle the Cherokee to engage 'in the
conflict," Whalef. Cherokee, warrior of. great
bravery and .resolution, wjth twja companions,
wam the i ver .and carried, two of , the Creek,
canoes across the, ryer to the company, Thn ena
bled the Cberakees to obtain their canoes, With
which they 8ucfieede2 in carrybi over a fVce;'
strorig enough to attack the enemy m therear and
dislodge them from lljeir breast-works. Wkalt"
received a gun-shot wound in the .shoulder, in the
taking of the first canoes. In 1310, President
Madison had three rifles made at Harper's Ferry,
to be presented to the three who, first swam the
river, together with medals for each. The rifle'
intended for " Whale howeveY, h never got-'
anxtthef person having obtained it. OnHhe fact
being crmimcated to the War Department by
Gov. Butler, the agent nf the Cherokee, the Sec
retary of War had another rifle prepared to be
presented to the i Id warrior. There is on it, a
plate-likeness of Gen. Jackson, and a silver plate
is inserted in the stock, with this inscription,;'
M Presented by the President tf the . United Stales h
'Whale, a Cherokee Warrior, for hidtignal valor
and heroism at the Battle of the Horse Shoe, in
March, 1814 "' This rifle, scrempanied by the
medal, will be presented to him by Gov. Butler,
(now- oh here, on his' return to the Cherokee
agency.) The .mounting and , engraving oo thi
