Sce , "Small Tail" Movement. - Daring the Harrison campaigh, an eloquent orator, in the Western partof thq Statd of Virginia, was holding forth to an im mense crowd in favor of the hero . Tippocanoe and Tyler too. Es ly the speaker was expatiating a tz General Harrison's cotirage, taot, and suoobas, as a military commander. While in the midst of his discourse, a tall guant mau arose from the crowd, and said in a voibb '*hich penetrated the whole assembly : "Mister-mistor, I want to ask you a question." Thp speaker paused, and beggeod4im to propound. "We are told the man went on, "fol low citizens, that Gonoral Harrison is it mighty great general; but I say he is one of the very meanest kind of genor rals. We are told hero to night that he defended himself bravely at Fort Moigs ; but I tell you, on that occasion lihe was guilty of the Small Tail More mnd, and I challenge the orator hero present) to deny it." The orator declared his utter Igno rtince of what tme manil miouant by the ''"Snall T'ail M ovemenit," and asked himiu to explain himself. "1 tell you," said the moan.

Now, here's Johnson's Diction ary"----taken the book out of his pocket; and hohling it ulip-"and hero it says : 'NlVcl, a small tale.' And this was the kind of movement General Ilarrison was guilty of. Now, I'm no sgeor. and don't knliw much about military tie tacks, but this 1 do say : a mani who in the face of anl enemy is guilty of Small Tail Movements is not ilt to be IPresi dent of the United Stateso, and ho ihaunt have my vote."
