while he who is dishonest should be scorned
for his deception.. That Mr. Pbrry is the
former, is the more charitable conclusion;
that he is the latter, is a legiiamalo
gp one. If the illustrious farmerofNorth-Bend
is to be defeated, let it be done with honorable
and uniarnished arms, and not by the
foul devices offraud and misrepresentation.
Our purpose is not so much to. Defend
Geo. Harrison against the groundless accusations
contained in the Address, (for that
hat been done a'thousand times,) as it is to
sliow how Mr. Van Buren stands in relation
to the ssnfe charges. Gen. Harrison
lfe denounced as- a Federalist. We have
alrq|dy shewn the denunciation to be unjust.
Now w demand lobe informed what
Mr. Van Bureu Is? Has he evjer been a
Republican? Is he now .either in theory or
practice? Judgo him by Ins associations
now, and during hrs-pasrpplitical life, and
what is tie? We call atteutlon again, to th<*
uas iy important fact, indraputnblo and incontrovertible,
that the very foulest Federalists
of the prespnt day,? m- n -who have :
within the last three.years proclaimed in i
^na??-hail of the Union, their federal i
affinities and principles, are the broad substratum
upon which the superstructure of
the Van Burcn party is now reared. Men
who announced upon the .floor of the
American Congress during the late war,
when portion of our gallant nrmy had
encountered disastrous defeat with a great
sensation of indiscribable pleasure, the fulfilment
of the predictions of. the Federal
party concerning that war nnd the complete
triumph of Federal principles {such as J.
H. Prentiss of New Yoi k;) men who have
boldly declared ih?-y would have been Tories
had they lived in the days of the revolution
(such as J. Ingersol! ofPlwIadelphin)
are now the clamorous supporters of Yau
Boren and h s party, with their principles
and measures. Do these facts prove noth
ing? Areihey useless and powerless in a j
discussion I'ke thi?? Will t.ey be disenr.
ded by the people as nothing worth? We
shall tee.
We admit that the political associates of a
statesman are not alwuys 10 be regarded as
infallible indices of his poliiieal principles.
He may be thrown in bad company by the
accidents of his station; he is bound nevertheless
to show lie has been thrown there
in the manner supposed. Unfortunately
however, for Mr. Perry nnd his illustrious
. ** WeateC we have it ip our-pdwer, to point
to the acts of the lajter, for the evidence of
his federalism?his thorough black cockade
^ t %
federalism. Mr. Vau-Buren opposed the
late war, and wps nt that-period an open
mouthed Anti-war Federal st. Ho opposed
James Madison, the Republican war c'.inJidate,
for the Presidency, artd as rite leader
of the Antuwar Federal party-devoted hi's
intrigues to secure the election of Mr. Clin*
ton the Federal peace candidate. How c*m
Mr. Van Burcn, or Mr. Perry.for him settle
this foul account of wrong against his
country? The right of An erican seamen
to navigate the broad blue ocean, free from
impressment by the haughty Briton, the
sacred inviolability of the glorious banner of
' the stars ot?d atr pes, the dignity and honor
of the nation were invaded, and were to
be vindioated. And who vindicated them?
Whoac voice pealed out tones of thrilling I
anima ion and encouragement to our
young but brave hearted country, nt that
memorable period? Was it the voice ol
Mr. Van Burcn? Was it tl?e voice of his
associates? Were they ready to repel Brit,
isb aggression and upbear t1w glorious standard
of the Union, or mike it their winding
sheet? No. And the history of the country
and living responsible witnesses respond,
No. We defy. truthful contradiction of
what we say. And is it necessary for us
to inform Mr. Perry that the war ques:ion
of 1812 was the test question between the
Republican party and the Pt dcral part} ?
the Republicans rallying to the support of
Madison and the war; the Federalist led
by Mr. A an Burcn to the support of Clin,
ton; and against the war. He most cer ?nl?
wmnnt be itfnorant of this nortmn of
WHIJ o ? f w.
the history of our country. We will now
propound a question to Mr. Perry: Had
ha lived at the period of the war of 1812,
would he have been Jound ulong with Clay
and Harrison supporting Mr. Madison and
his measure*, or along with Van Burcn
and Rufus King supporting Mr. Clinton?
Would be have defended the flag of his
country along with the whole Republican
party* or along with Van Boron and the
whole Federal party permitted it to bo
trodden down in dishonored dust? We do
uol doubt in the leas: that bis attachment to
the Union, for exceedsTiis-affeciiqp lor the J
State, nnd although he was fcun l not many j
years since in the ranks of the enemies of
the latter, he might have been National enough*to
have been with his counUy in 1812.
How it was possible for Mr. Perry to do.
clare Mr. Van Buren -*had been jhe open
^old and tin comprorrvs:ng advocate of the
war of 1812," is utterly beyond our cortception.
Was he ignorant of his opposk
tion tQ that groat Republican measure.??
That would be a humiliating cenfetsion.?
Was he acquainted with it but suppressed |
ii? That would be a degrading admission. i
We impute neither ignorance norsupprcs
sion to Mr. Perry, but leave him to disentangle
himself frerfl the web which he has
woven about him.
The further charge is made in the Ad
dress that Gen. Harrison is a T-iriffite. und
his vote on the "Bill of Abominations ' in I
iftoa ?h.7.flv relied on to support it. For J
13 V/'l'v i* j ^
his course on that occasion, wc condemn
["Gon. Harrison. With his subsequent <lccijjrayons
nnti possuion we are wholly satis- 1
fied.' He d;d vote Tor the TurdF of 1828,!
but he has made that reparation to his \
country, which that country demanded.? ,
To the compromise of 1833 the whole South j
assented, nnd now assents; and it was re- j
yarded as an ubiding basis of settlement j
relative to if. Is Gen. Harrison opposed I
I to it? Can Mr. P rry answer, or will he |
i pjay dummy? Whether he- answers or j
j. holds his peace matters not. The whole'
Union knows that Gen-. Harrison is pledged j
to sustain rhe compromise at every hazard, j
and that is all the South asks. Whatever}
then may have been his position upon the
'Tariff previous to 1833, he now stunds
solemnly pledged to tlie great measure of'
the compromise and has atoned for his vote
in 1828. . ^
Now lot us advert to the course of Mr. !

* AH - Whore
is he, and wherodias ho always been ;
on that subject ? ilas he ev<r denounced ;

was his great effort in i:s favor. He be.
came a large wool growprund r the cen. i
fTdent desire and conviction that it wobld. i
become the permanent policy of the country.
Now as to his votes: Did he vote for the
Tariff of 1828 ? Yes." Has he,ev<r repented
of these votes? Has he. ever declared fot

but after trrnl and comparison
of outlay and results, he found lime to be, in
the "long run,"the most economical. The
race between them was something like that
between the hare an J thO tortoise?The.
ashes gut the start of the lime a long way,
but the lime; like the tor'oise, made up irr
lastingwss, for want of quickn&s at the
jump; and finally he has in & great measure
j given up jhe use of ashes for that of lime?

On one lot of stiff white oak land which
would not have yielded as much poracrts as
the team consumed while ploughing it, there
was a luxuriant crop of indian corn, grow"

On into" her lot, now in corn, a small part

only desire to commence its culivation this tc
season. jj
The time for planting is any part of the c
montli of September. I think the best n
mode of preparing the.ground nndplanting, tf
is to manure a piece of high, light land, jt
rather Sandy, but of as much fertility os ((
may be found on our soils; broad-cast, with
about fifteen large four hor^e wagon loads q
of well rolled yard or stable manure to the |f
acre?plough it in as fast as it is spread, to j,
avoid evaporation, and plough as deep as j,
possible?eight or ten inches will be quite j
/lrtnutrh Drill the land very shal. | n

lpw.alout 18 inches apart, tuvi sow the seed
in the drill about as thick as you would sow
.wheat. When it com^ up you can keep ^
it clean of grass by hoeing. After sowing it j(
cover it very lightly, afr you do cotton-seed, |
and press thtrdirt on t?e seed with a roller )(
or sdme other * contrivance, in order Jo 0
nv>ko it come up. ' In May or June, if rite ?
grass does not take possession of it, you |
may cut it the first.time for hay. and you
will get anolmr an J perhaps two or-three
other eti'tings'from it during the summer,
j if tho manure ajT'l. the land suit it. It will ^
- die "on jiirrtJ which is incumbent on a wet
J subsoil, where the water rises witlirn two' v

of France, have taken the side of the

A El,-ancj.a secret treaty is said to hfive
xuttt ngrlsjitl urion, of which France was
cepl ignorant. Foe Parisian journals ure
ill in a blaze. They breathe little hut war.
The French Government have" also fakeu
itops. to ad J 100,01)0 men to the army.?

ipve been taken of which France* was not
ufunned, and justify action withorit Fnmce
ly the obsiinat'e ndbes 0 1 of FrauCe to

iuppose,. that tlu'fpurr Powers will fan the
Syrian insurrection, wdiich Ins b-come

by E l^jund, Austria, 11 issta, and
Prussia, they are to compel him, widen
w'll lead :o war with him, if not with France.
War With France, though France is highly
embittered, is no; to be seriously upprehenJed..
France has Algiers to "tnke'cure of,
in J making the E isi (lice s'-nt'ol war, with

The intelligence of this most disastrous
occurence was brought to this port, by Capr.
Kenyon, of the sclir* Viclora, arrived at
Quaran ine yesterday, from Key;West.
lie states that a wrecking vessel arrived at
Key Wts'. from Indian Key, 7.h i ist. witii
a few of ihe survivors, who stQted that a
number of Indians in their canoes, attacked
Indian Key, on the night of the 5th insU
and Hf:<?r reordering part of the inhabitants,
and filling their canoes with plunder, burnt
the whole settlement, consisting of about 30
houses, dwelling*and stores. The Indians
remained until noon on the following day,
when they leff for tho main. The survivors
were concealed during ddl time under
a wharf, and left immediately 'after the Indians
eeparted for Key West. Our informant,
not having conversed with any of the
survivors, is unable to give us a more <ie?,
tailed aocourlt. It was stated at K< y West,
that some two or three of the inhabitants of
Indian Key had made their escape in one
of the Indian canoes, and arrived at Tee.
Table K^y, in the immediate vicinity. '
Tho following letter from our attentive
correspondent at K^y West, gives some additionul
