THE DOOMED SOLDIER AT FORT MEIGS.
BT MIES BABAII J. CLARKE.
At a late Democratic meeting in Pennsylvania,
Mr. Logan, who served under General llnrrison.
at Fort Meigs, recounted a thrilling incident to
which he averred he was an eye and ear wilness.
A soldier who had deserted was tried by a Court
Martial and sentenced to be shot. The procession
formed first came the prisoner and his cotfin, fol
lowed by the guard,, whose diny it was to execute
the sentence of the court. They reached the futal
spot he was blindfolded and mudo to kneel by the
ide of his coffin. The commands were given ''Make
Ready ! Take Aim .'" when the voice of General
Harrison interposed, and the emphatic words, "As
you were !" at once put u joyful end to the dread
ful scene.
He came with slow nnd measured tread,
To sound of niuliled drum,
With bloodless cheek and eye of dread,
A felon to his doom.
And sadly then we followed him,
Each manly bosom swelling,
And in each soldier's eye so dun,
The warm tear-drop was dwelling.
He was our comrade oft we'd shared
A soldier's couch at night.
Or side by side had nobly dared
The perils of the fight.
We paused and Oh ! it was a place
More fit for hour of mirth,
Amid the loveliness, the grace,
The all most fair of earth.
He turned, and cust a lingering look
O'er all the prospect wide,
The dewy fields, the laughing brook,
The mountain in its pride.
Then sad, yet calmly kneeling low,
His coffin there beside.
Around his damp and pallid brow
The futal baud was tied.
"Make ready .'"Oh, the hi rrid clang
Of lowering muskets then, .
That mid the sounding forest rang,
And echoed through the glen.
"Tain aim ."' like death kneel pierced the air,
One agonizing thrill ;
His pale cold lips moved as in prayer,
Then all again was still.
Our noble chief with mournful meiii,
And lonely step apart,
Had watched the dread and solemn scene
With sad o'eiflowing heart.
And "As you were !" like angel notes
Fell on the listening ear,
Or as some lay that sweetly floats
On evening's tranquil air.
And then a glad triumphant sound
Exultingly rang out,
Till every hill and rock around
Gave back the joyous tdiout.
And once again, a gladsome band,
We round our comrades pressed,
To take once more the friendly hand,
And clasp him to the breast.
The cheerful word to "March," obeyed,
File after file was hieing,
Through mountains pass and leafy glade,
With glad bright pennons flying.
And be, to sound of drum and fife,
Stepped in our proud array,
Restored again to joy and life,
The gayest of the gay.
Now on the Chief, so brave and kind,
May Heaven's free blessing rest,
For all that's noble and refined
Dwells in his gallant breast.
And Poesy shall meekly stand
And bid tha hero liva,
With parted lips and lyre in her hand,
Her olfering shall give.
Till Harrison's chivalric name
Shall he through coming time,
By thrilling note of deathless fame,
Proclaimed in every clime.

Significant. In the great gathering of the
freeman of New York at Utica on the 12th, the Al
bany Journal says "the manufacturing interests
were not neglected. In the procession was a large
car from which was suspended rich and beautiful
domestic carpeting. These fabrics, under the
auspices of a Republican President, would have
adorned the White 7 louse. But Mr. Vuu Buron

Continued.
Iam willing to concede that the expenditure
of 100 is in itself, a very small nioiter. The
question, however, is not now much cash was
paid by Mr. Van Burcn for the bunch ofarlifi
c'ml flowers which decorates his table, hut wheth
er iho People's money shall be expended for sih.1i
niistocratic French finery? And whether Mr.
Van Buren, who hn3 been raised to the most ex
alted station on the earth, nnd whose example
upon society must necessarily have u most pow.
erful nnd extensive influence, fhall, by tlio in.
troduction of foreign gewgaws into the house of
the American People, contribute to corrupt the
plain, unostentatious; nnd republican murmurs
of our people, by creating vain desiics for cxler
nal show and for foolish displays of splendor,
which nre not congenial with our frugal habits?
The influence of this example has alrcody had a
most injurious tendency within the District of
Columbia, where many men are now found vying
with each other to niako n splendid npprrauce,
even above their rank and means of support. 1
will give you an instanco or two. Mi, F.P.
Blair, the lmmblojeditor of Martin Van Bureu's
"official organ," came to this city some ten years
ago a plain, simple republican in his manners
and stylo of living, having been brought up and
educated with all the domestic ami economical
maxims of the hardy and furgal Western coun
try. For some years after his arrival, he was
content to dwell in a comfortable house of fif.
teen feet front, furnished in a plain, substantial
way; but, behold the charm of Executive man
ners! How altered the man! He now aims
at rivalling all the foreign Ministers and heads of
tho great Departments of the Government in the
splendor of his spacious mansion, in the profu.
sion of his table, and every indulgence which nr.
empty vanity can covet. lie, too, gives brilliant
entertainments to the members of Congress and
great ofilceis of state, in imitation of the sump
tuous Court banquets at the palace. On these
occasions, as I have been credibly informed, for
the purpose of producing a more dazzling effect
on tho vision of his loco foco brethren, he actual
ly hires rich chandeliers and other showy dem
ocratic ornaments at a charge often percent, on
the prime cost, at a splended china, plate and
glass fancy store on Pennsylvania Avenue. But
I do not feel disposed to interfere with or mole.-!
tho editor of the Globe in his enjoyment of no
ble mansions, luxurious banquets, boirow'd lights
and every other external advantage which causes
tho "little man to swell into fancied importance,
inasmuch as ho enjoys all those advantages, so fu
ns I know, at ii is owx expesse. Were it not
for the public function of Government Printer
that this man has been clothed with, ho would
bo almost too scant a pattern to notice f,r
Martin Van Burcn manages him as n showman
does his puppet, and he runs or walks leaps or
jumps, as he is directed. And I must hero be
permitted to say, that we ought not to totic'n.nriy f
the small fry of the shoals, until we have done
with the bhiu'ks and tho crocodiles. Curiosity
may perhaps invito tho philosopher to examine
the gnats and ilia nitis;piito3, but nut until after
the tigers and the hyenas have undergone an
analysis. I will therefore not say any thing
more of Francis P. Blair, but lay him on the
shelf for the present; and when Tommy Thumb
will nfl'ord amusement, we will take him. 1
will just remark, however, that whenever mv con
stituents ask mo what sort of man Eluir is,r ack
it, I tell them of tho story of the Irishman who !
woiu to sea his neighbor, and being asked by his.
neighbor's wife, how are they coming on at home?
replied, "the gray nir.ro hud a coll yesterday."
hat hind' was the inquiry. Oh ! by tho pow
ers, it u a bom btii.ili). And I tell my constilu
enls. if they cannot imagine how beatiful Blair
is he is just that kind of man that, if vou lie his
hands behind his back ho will lake a deeper bite
into a water melon than nny other man that I
ever saw. And if they are not satisfied then, I
tell them that there is an old woman in Boston
who would make him an cxcelent wife; foi she is
so ugly that every morning she has to drink a
quart nf saffron tea to prevent its striking inward
and killing her. That is all I have to say on the
present oc- asion about this great exemplar of
loco foco beauty.
Another instance of the deleterious iriffuoncc of
palace nianncis upon plain republican habits, is
presented in the person of Mr. Kendall, at the
head of the Post oflico Department. He. loo,
lifter lagging neatly half a century in walks of
humble and unostentatious poverty, and after
looking up with awe to personages greatly his
superior in rank and riches, though iioijiu talents
now begins to love equipage end fine garments,
(o study graceful attitudes, and to viu with Blui.
in tha magnificence of his soirees. And ho too,
like Clair, I have been told, hires at another rich
establishment on the avenue, most costly demo,
cralic furniture, with which to deck his shining
salooiu on those great ocecasions. Ho has, as is
believ. d, by this foolish vanity, although in the
annual receipt of six thousand dollars in gold and
s,lver, squandered una gossiped away the whole
of it, and now almost obliged to subsist upon the
contributions of his doiiiocratio friends. I feel.
airrieved that tho parade and show of palace man
tiers have had so much inlluerice over tho mind ol
Mr. Kendall, because his soul is certainly cram
nied with moie ardent, more scorching, blading.
burning, fiery love fok the peak people, than
the souls of all tho other patriots, lit profession,
in America. Indeed, his attaehmcn' to the dear
People, or to their cash, is of so vigorous a char
acter, that it will, sooner or later, bum into cin
der tho little remaining flesh on his skeleton.
And ho must, eventually, fall a victim to his noble
passion fur tlte dear peiplcs cask, unless he
can lii)d relict in tho "excitement ol compo
sition."
But let us return, Mr Chairman, to tho tablt
furniture of the President, The remaining bill,
which makes up tho sum of 611,101 32, before
mentioned, consists of various articles ufcijlfeiy

I ask you, how would a plain, fiank, intelligent,
republican farmer feel how would ho look, i'
he weie caught at a table like that? Why, sir,
he would feel as if ho knew that that was not tho

formed that even members of Congress have, on
some occasions, been so dazzled with tho pomp
and pageantry, and brilliant display of a court
dinner, that tiiey could "scarcely cat or speak for
half mi hour after they had taken their seats at
tho Presidential board." And verily, after they
had in a good measure recovered the use of their
faculties, they were still greatly perplexed to as
certain what dishes might be called for, there bo.
ing no food whatever on the table, and no bill of

latter embarrassment however, was soon removed

I shall not, Mr. Chairman, farther trespass on
the time of the committee by dwelling longer cn
tho great Court Feasts which uro statedly held in
the palace Banqueting room; but proceed to the
performance of the task which 1 have more immo
di.itely before me. Besides the table furniture,
which, as before remarked cost 811,101 32, the
Court Banqueting roam possesses a great variety
of very rich and valuable furniture, such as mir
rors, mahogany sideboards, mahogany chairs, gill
cornices, window curtains, bronze bowl lamps,
Mtique patterns, gilded, carved, and garnished
with stars and swan-necks, mantel ornaments,
Brussels carpets, butler's stools, &o. (Sec. Indeed
thero is scarcely any thing wanting to make the
Courl Banqueting room resemble in its stylo and
magnificence tha banqueting hulls of tho Orien
tal monarchs, lut the erection of a canopy of
peacock's feathers over the chair of the President,
and a small amphitheatre (for which there is abun-
daut space) covered witli brocade and Persian
arpets, nnd furnished with seats for tho music,
.l.id plac-s for tho buujons and jesters to show

I will next call your attention, Mr. Chirman,
to a schedule, which 1 have prepared bom the

Van Burcn to d.ish into the palace on liio hick
of his 'Roanoke' race horse, he could gaze at und
admire tho hoofs of his charger and his own crown
at the same instant of time in one of those splen
did mirrors. Mr. Chairman, there is much truth
and sound philosophy in Poor Richard's advice:
"Barly to bed, and early to rise,
"Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."
But it is clear that our new economists have lit
tie faith in early rising, clso they would not have
paid out &7,oU0 of tho People't cash in lamps mid
candlesticks, Tho court (aslron of '.sleeping on

Hunt inirrois, rang tho bell at tho great entrance

ing, 'Vou had better come at seven o'clock; tho
President's rooms are not open fjr visiters till
ten in tho morning.' Whereupon tho plain
larmer turned on his hoc, with this cutting re
buke: 'I'm thinking tlte President's house u-lll
be open before day on the itli of March next for
ccertj body ; for Old Tip is a mighty early riser,
and was neccr ycl caught napping anddocs'nt

I may add, in confirmation of this honest coun
tryman's belief in Oil Tip s early rising, that,
within die last year, he has been heard, by some
ol his h.timute friends to remark that 'his head
had not lien found vpon his pillow at sunris':
for tue last forty y.ars.' To this, his habit of
early rising, is perhaps, in a good degree, to ho
attributed 'the salvation of his bravo armv from
the scalping knifu and tomahawk of the iirliau
savage at the battle of Tippecanoe, on the morn,

occasion, 'he arose at a quarter before 4 o'clock,
