patron, by sseuining the exclusive authorship of a

'the most odious fraiuirs ol ihis abominable nta

Nearly three months afterwards, (that ia, m March
last.) Mr- Poinaeti’a Bill, which we publish to-dayJ
mad* it* appearance. And now we avk our leaders,
net to judge ol it by what we have said, or shall
•sv, Lut to turn to the Bill itself, and particularly to
.tba following section* :
The 1st section din eta, ■ lint cvriy inrollrd nii
,|jlia-u an "al all provide hintielj” w itli a good mua
ket, s bayonet and bell, two spare flints, a knapsack,
cartridge box, car t ridge a and balls, and a si. die inn
'quantity' of powder, or a good r ft*-, knapsack, shot
pouch, powder - licit d flask, with suffle ieut powder
and hall for twenty-four charges and two spate
iflinls, &c. cVe. How du ti e people like th t pio
viaioc T To sny nothing of us palpable injustice,
Tv taxing (for it ia a lax) the poor man just us much
at the rich man, bow ninny of cur lellow ciiiztus
are unable lo furnish ihenivelve* willi ill is useless niili
taiy pvr*| heiuaiia! Thu srciion forms a slicing
contrast loUen. Hamsun's views, above refeired to.
Dui the seciinn goes on lo provide that this gun ai d
these accoutrements ate to be "exempted fioni all j
•oils, distnsses, executions or sale for debt, or lor
payment ol taxes.” lo otln r words, a man, impover- j
islitd by misfortune, may see hia bed taken from un
der I is wifrai.d children, pml llie horse willi which j
he pluugt s Ins fields and I lie cow which supplies |
hi*lemily willi nouiishnienl, wrested liom him by
the sheriff, but this gun and knapsack, ball and
powder, sacred as llie flag ol Alahouiet, is nut lo be
polluted by hia touch I They are lo be held s .cred,
while his family have not bread to eat, and Ins cre
ditors are evirating from him Ins house hid I goods !
Why, although the u an has butighl the mus
ket and its appendages, a d paid loi it with Ins ocvu
money, it is not, after all, Ins own properly, but the
government's ! He is us mere custodian, having no
thing IU do but to rub us bariel bi iglit and el< an, to
be ready lor the holy day parades, twice a year, when !
the President may. m Ins sovricigu pleasure, ill- |
tret the troops ol Virpmia to match to Delaware, or
tin versn /
For, accordii g to section 14, the Uoion is divided
into ten inilitaiy districts. (of which Delaware,
Maryland, llie District of Columbia and Vngioia
constitute the fifth;) anil the l7ih section provides i
that "the Piesidenl of the United Slates be author-!
iced to call forth anil assemble such uumbi is ol ibe
active loice of the militia, at suth places within their
respective districts, and at such times, not exceeding
twice nor- day* in the same year, as he may
deem i.ectssaiy." How many of our farmers ol
mechanics or inert hams or lawyers, indeed men
who have any thing lo on, would consent to aban
don their crops, their merchai dine, their sln | s 01
their courts, lor i lie fatigues of a camp-training,
from ten lo thirty da)*, twice a year—and at such
periods of the year, uot as limy best cnmpoit willi
their leisure, but as the President "may deem ne
cessary’’!
The 4th section imposes another tax- Thai sec
tion provides that a company of cavalry shall be at
tached lo i aeh regimem; and that each member of
the corps "shall furnish liiensef with a serviceable
horse, at least 144 hands high, a good saddle, bridle,
valise, breast-plate and crupper,a pair of boots uud
spurs, a pair of p stols, a sabre and cartoiich-box, lo
contain twelve cartridges for pistols.” How very
minuu—and yet how comprehensive ! Why here
is a fax of not Its* than from $150 to $200. How
many militia-men are able to bear it ? How many
would bear it !
Hut >1 r. Poinsett and Ins advisers, very well aware
(hat the tyrannical requisitions ol' hts Hill would
never be complied with except under the apprehen
sion of severe penalties, holds <ver the heads ol the
people the te rors otlieavy fines and long imprisonment,
to dragoon them into submission—to reduce them
from the proud position of free citizens of soverr i gn
Slates to the debased condition of the regular and
conscript soldiers of a consolidated Empire—lo btc ak
down their unfettered spitits, and lo pre, are them
for the yoke which they would soon, by this pro
cess of military rigor, te (lie wi’ling instruments of
putting upon (heir own and iIre necks of their breih
ren. W t beg our rentiers to turn to the Hill, and
read theaSth, 29lh,30th ami 3l»t sections—aud then
(ell us, is their author a Republican ? is he a friend
-of State Rights? And is the Adintnistiation, ol
which he is a cons| icuous member, or the party by
which that Administration is sustained, entitled to
the confidence and suppoit ol the people ? What !
Declare, ifeertain provisions of bis Hill are not com
plied with, that those I ersons who refuse shall be
fined a sunt not less than half a mouth's nor u ore
(ban one yeat's pay, aud on failure ol the payment
of the fines, to be tried by a court martial, and
IMPRISONED "for one calendar month for every
fire dollars of such fine ”' Have we cunic lo tins,
i
• hat a member of the President's Cabinet proposes
«o assume such despotic powers over the militia of
•he States, in the name of Slate Right* and Demo
cratic Republicanism ? Whose blood docs not boil
wi'h indignation when lie reads this abominable
|iro|iosiiion, which might have well accorded with
• he sternly rigorous exactions of the Military Despot
Who converted Fiance “into one gteat camp, ant'
teduced almost every thing under martial law,” but
which is irreconcilably repugnant to the genius
of our tree institutions aud lo the pacific pursuits ol
our people ?
And how are the fines, thus imposed, to be collec
ted ? Federal tax gatherers are to come amongst
til. The marshals of the U- Slates are to be cloth
ed with powers Which our State laws deny lo our
BWti sheriffs. If at tuan be insolvent and unable to
pay his militia fines, the State releases him from the
obligation;—indeed, even if lie be solvent and refuses
to pay, the Slate declines to coerce him. Rut Mr.
l'oinseit proposes that these federal marshals shall
“forthwithproceed lo levy the said fines, with cost,
by distress and sale uj the goods and eliatlels of the
delinquentand, when “there are no goods and
chattels to be found, wbeteon lo levy said fines, Die
marshal of the district or his deputy shall COM MIT
SUCH DELINQUENT TO JAIL duiiogthe
term for which he shall be adjudged to such impri
sonment, or until the fine shall be paid I” Is not
the eup yet full t Are the people so patient nnd
tolerant of these gradual approaches of the great
central power, w Inch first obliterates State lines by
ihedivisi'Q of the country into military dis riots,
and then, usurping authority over the militia of the
States, holds oftf our beads the tutors al fine and
hmpiWmein, that they can bear a little • ?v

ecutive patronage, and filling the crih from which us
creatures diaw their daily rations, extorted from au
oppressed people !
But enough. Those who have followed ut, or
who will read Mr. Pninaen’s Bill, will no longer
wonder at the refusal of the Ed,tor ..filie Richmond
Enquirer to publish it. The odious character of
the measure explains that refusal—as the refusal it
itself the most emphatic co nmentary upon the
character of the measure—stronger than any lan
guage of denunciation that we am master ol. It

nor, if they could, will they content to make him
the President's scape goat. They know that Mr.
Van Buren recommended the “plan''of Mr. Poin

course equally guilty with his Secretary—if without
such knowledge, lie is guilty of an act no less inde
fensible, tu one who should never ‘•recommend" a
great ineasuie, the nature and effects of which hr
has not thoroughly studied and does nut fully com
prebend.
\\ e make no apology for the unexpected length
•>f this article. I is importance is our justification.
We have yet other views to pieseni — which, how
ever, we must defer to a future occasion.
CONG R ESS.—'I he proceedings of Congress are
not of much interest. The Bankrupt Bill is still
under discussion, Mr. Webster having made a lu
minous speech in support of tlie original bill of the
committee, followed by Mr. Strange in favor of the
substitute. In the II. of R. a second unavailing
attempt lias been made 10 c ill up the Sub-Treasury
bill.
7lit Petticoat Story licvcrsed.—The vulgar por
tion of (he Loro Km o party sometimes dub (Jen.
Harrison “(he Petticoat General," d< living the ep
ithet from a false declaration, made by Senator Al
len of Ohio, (perhaps when his brain was rather fog
gy from the deep poiatiuiH in which he unfortunate
ly sometime# indulges,) that the ladies of Chilico
the, during the wai, vote 1 Uer, Harrison a pc t'.co&t
as a mark of theii contempt for his imbecility as a
commander.—Gen. Win. S. Murply, of Chilicotlie,
exposed tlie falsehood the instant it was promulgated,
and posted Senator Allen, in a published handbill,
| “as a calumniator and liar,”—very rough epithets,
but nevertheless silently acquiesced in by the Sena
i tor and. though we have never heard that the
| Senator has repeated the story since it m ( with this
I prompt and uncivil refutation, yet it is occasionally
I revived by those who have never heard of the con
tradiction, or w ho, having heard of it, are not very
scrupulous about the means which they employ to
effect their ends. However, our design is nut gravely
10 discuss the truth of this petticoat fabrication, but
lo show the piopricty with which ilie appellation of
“petticoat candidate” may be applied to Gen. Har
rison's opponent, by a circumstance which is said
recently to have occurred in one of the Western
States. A Loco Foco squad attempted to ant ny a
Whig procession by I lie exhibition of a peiticoat, ami
a Whig, adverting to the (act, says- “My attention
was called to an emblem under which a few Loco
Focus seemed rallying. It was a petticoat,—certain
ly the most fit insignia for that party to rally under.
I asked them if Mrs. Eaton had sent it to them, as it
is not to be denied that, had it not been for her, Mr.
Van Buren c<»uld not have sopphmied Mr. Calhoun
in Gen. Jackson's affections”—And, lie never
would have been President of the United Slates.'
“'fall oaks from little acorns grow."

eil Cincinnati on the 7th inst. and avaded himself ol
that occasion to pay his respects to Ins old com
mander, (.Sen. Harrison, with whom lie served at
Tippecanoe and Fort Meigs.
The Cana la papers are uniting with I heir
allies in the United Stales in the wtork of deprecia
ting Gen. Harrison's military lalems and services:
and Proctor is their witness! Proctor, whom Har
rison defeated at Fort Meigs, and over hrew at the
Thames ! 1; is no wonder that BrilisU pens should
be employed in slnpping the laurels from the brow
01 the hero who conquered them; but that an Amer
ican should engage in the dirty work it most mon
strous and unnatural. But what w ill not party spir

05““ "Let the people look at the figures, fur fi
gures are facts," quoth the Nashville Union. Not
always; for it appears that the Globe lately put
forth a tabular statement of the result of the \ irgi
nia elections, which was copied by the Richmond
Enquirer, in which figures weie made to ti ll very
palpal l« falsehoods. The aggregates nT the (Robe’s
statement, as copied by the Enquirer, made it ap
pear that whereas the las! House of Delegates cun*
sisted of 66 Whigs and 62 Loco Focos, the
next House will consist of 67 \\ tugs and 63
Loco Focus—making an apparent Wing Ins*
of 1 member. But some inquisitive Paul Pry
has had the cuiiosity lo add up the Globe’s
own table, which shows that its aggregates for
1840 are altogether fabulous—the Globe giving
2 more to the Loco It ncui and 3 less to the \\ lugs
tha i Hi men figures called for! So that the Nashville
I Union will see lliat ftgaits *re uct always facts ! It

NEW APPOINTMENTS.—Tli« Preaid-tot haa
found a suet ess.tr for Amos Kendall, as Postmaster
Genera*, in the person of John M. Niles of Connec
ticut, Lie U. 8 Senator, and ittll ttime recently a
defeated t amlidate for Governor t>f that Slate. The
Baltimore Pilot giys, lie is "a small beer politician;"
and, in every thins, except capacity, he is a fit sue*
cessorof the late Poatm ister General.
It is also said that Chore hill C. Cambrelsng, of
N. York, now in Europe, the rejected candidate of
that city fur Congress, has received the appointment
ot Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Kussia.
We dare say this, il not a vciy good appointment,
is better than the avciage of those made by the Ad
ministration. Mr. C. i* not deficient in talents, und
is a reputable gentlemen.
A <too,l Rule —It in a good criterion generally to judge a
man by w Imt bin neighbor* think of him. I.et ua apply tloa
teat to Gen. Harriauu and Mr. Van Itureu. tlcn. Ilnrriaon
haa resided about half a century in and near Cincinnati; and
nt ttu* recent elec tion Cincinnati ga\c a majority ot nearly
LOO in bin favor. Mr. Van Btircu has resided nearly all of Ins
lile in \lbiuiv,or its vicinity— Albany has given a majority
of nearly 500against him. These fai ls ought to have great
weight with those who know neither of die tncn,ricepl
through die prejudiced medium ofpartisan portraits.
C- /' Tli® Lexington liaxette mentions * fact highly hono
rable to Mr. Taylor, the Loco « Elector lor tlmt District.
“Ill his speech at llm Warm Spring* (in Kutli count}) Mr*
Tailor remarked tlmt lie tlul not know that (ten. Ilarnaon

had well nigh taken him off tIm turf; but the shade of Art

scended on tin* sitla of his dam,seemed to weep far his fate,
whilst the ghost of the renowned Charles and Archie seem’d
to hover about him, exclaiming “once more to the breach."
Ill* owner, not feeling satisfied tliut lie hud given him a fnir

constrained to believe that lie mind he “one of them," and Ii
null v concluded, that to do him justice lie must he tried Again,

and but few laker*. When stripped, both looked fine, tho
a good judge remark'd that Forlunulii* wu* too “Ingb. ’ At
the tap of the drum they went off well together, Forlunstus
having the truck.hut soon courteously resigned it to Ham,who,
with "eanft front," leaped into it as though it was more u right
than n boon, nnd retained it “softs criemonie" until he iiiul
twice passed the Judges' Miami, nnd (whirl mortified bulimia
tus the more,) the “gazing crowd.” Ingratitude “more strong
than traitor's arms,” did not, as it did the great Romun,
•quite vanquish him;” hut chugriiird at Ins unwary po
liteness, mot tilled and indignant at the ingratitude und cava
lier deportment of Sam, (who, in imitation of a higher exam
ple, seemed to act upon the principle that the end justified
the menus.) he rushed in doapurnthm upon him, nnd ere he had
made tlte next half mile, seized him l»v the “collar,” and ns il
disdaining to occupy n moment’s lime iusuch company, threw
him with the might of Ajax behind him, and retained Ins posi
tion “home,” a gallant winner by about two length* : Tims
— First mile I,.V)—Second 1.55—Third 2.02—Making 5.52.
The best ever made over this course.'
To a novice il would now appear that the “b >ot wu* on

two to one on their “first love;" and what wu* “passing
