to or octavo edition for preservation and

loiiowing cnanges will be made :
The Folio New Yorker will be afforded
to subscribers at the reduced price of TWO
DOLLARS per annum, payable inflexibly
in auvQiice.
The Qunrto New Yorker will be afford
ed to subscribers at THREE DOLLARS
per annum, payable in all cases in advance
Huth papers will bo printed on an entire
ly new type, and in a new and beautiful
j i ,
urnss, on me same large imperial paper as
at present.
In fine, tho only changes which will be
mode in either paper will consist in the en
tiro renovation of its mechanical execution
and appearance, and the reduction of the
prices 15 and 20 percent, respectively to
accommodate mem to the cash standard.
Hereafter no subscription will be received
without payment in advance, and no paper
will be sent after the first of May next, to
any subscribers wliu shall not then have paid
in advance.
The New Yorker will pursue thesnme
general course and maintain the same cha
meter as hitherto, with such improvement,
in details and execution aa experience has
suggested or may suggest. Its columns
will bo devoted to:
I . Or iginul and Selectvd Literature.
Comprising Tales, Poems, Essays, Review
ot new works, bnet iNotices ot new pub
nca' ions, liiograuhical, Historical and II u
morons sketches, Anecdotes, be. be. In
the department of Original Literatuie, the
L.litors have the assistance ot able pens
while their Selections are culled from the
widest n uge of British and American current
and Period. cnl l.ncniturc.
II. Political Intelligence. Under this
head, brief notices of movements of Parlies
ijin ujliuut the Union are certainly given,
with accounts ot all important Uonventions,
Nominations, be, but especially ot every
Election of am' moment, wi'.h the votes
comnared will) those of previous years.
Condensed accounts of the Proceedings of
Congress, important action ot ntate Legis
latures, be, wi'l also be given ; and it is
believed that in this department The New
Yorker already holds a rank not beneath
that of any Journal in the Union. The ut
most care will be taken to render its slate
ments of Election results not only accurate
and liable but so lucid as to foreshadow in
some degree forthcoming events: and in this
respect it is confidently recommended to
those who feel a strong interest in the pend
ing Presidential contest.
III. General Intelligence. Under this
head n condensed hut comprehensive sum
mary of ihe News of the Day, Foreign and
Domestic, will from week to wee be given.
Such is and shall be The New Yorker ;
and while its publishers do not commend it
tn public favor as the largest, the cheapest,
nor yet as ihe ablest and best Periodical in
the world, they cheerfully submit its claims
tn the judgment of those acquainted with
its character; and they fearlessly appeal to
all who know it for a confirmation of the fact,
that no other paper embodying on equal a
mount of original matter, requiring an equal
amount of Editorial enpocity and labor, was
ever published in ibis country or Europe at
so low a price as Two Dollars per annum.
3'ermt. The Folio common newspaper

THE HOMAGE OF JUSTICE.
We have compiled, from various sources,
the following disinterested testimonials,
which were commanded from their several
authors by the lofty patriotism, valor, lal
ents and success of Geuernrf Harrison,
long before he was named for the Presiden
cy, and in times which ought to give them
weight snmcicnt to bear down ail the petty
olumines nnd quibbling objections which
parly malignity may now presume to forge
against the wnr-woru and time-Honored pa
triot nnd siddier.
The authorities we present against the
attacks of loco loco federalism, and which
wo have stereotyped as an impregnable
barricade against all opposition, are no less
than Ihe Congress of the United States,
the Legislature of Indiana, and of Ken
tucky, James Madison, James Monroe,
Col. Richard AI. Johnson, Anthony Wayne,
L,nngdon lbeves, binion onvder Uovernor
Shelby, Com. Perry, Col. Croghan, Colo
nel Imvies, and others, including in the il
lustrious catalogue even Thomas Ritchie,
Isaac Hill, John M.Niles and Moses Daw
son! Col. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice Pre
sident of the Un'.ted States, said, (in Con
gress) ' Who is Gen. Harrison? The son of
the signers of the Declaration of Independ
ence, who spent the greater part of his
large fortune in redeeming the pledge he
then gave, of his 'fortune, life and sacred
honor,' to secure the liberties of his coun
try. " Of the career of Gen. Harrison I need
not apeak the history of the West, is his
history. For forty years he has been iden
tified with its interests, its perils and its
hopes. Universally beloved in the walks
of peace, and distinguished by his ability
in the councils of his country, he has been
yet more illustriously distinguished in the
field.
" During the late war he was longer in
active service than any other General offi
cer; he was, perhaps, oftener in action
than any one of them, and never sustained
a defeat."
James Madison, in a special message to
Congress, Dec. 18, 1811, said,
While it is deeply lamented that so mnnv
valuable lives have been lost in the action
which took place on the 7th ultimo, Con
gress will see with satisfaction the daunt
less spirit of fortitude victoriously displayed
by every description of troops engaged, as
well as the collected firmness which distin
gniihed their commander on an occasion re
quiring the utmost exertions of valor and
discipline. '
James Madison in his message to Con
gress, November, 1812, said,
An ample force from the States of Ken
tucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia,
is placed, with the addition of a few reg
ulars, under the command of Brigadier Ge
neral Harrison, who possesses the entire
confidence of his fellow soldiers, among
whom are citizens, some of them volunteers
in the ranks, not less distinguished by their
political stations than by their personal
merit b.
In Mr. Madison's message of Dec. 1813,
the compliment was extended, as follows:
The success on Lake Erie having open
ed a passage to the territory of the enemy,
the officer commanding the Northwestern
arms, transferred the war thither, and, ra
pidly pursuing the hostile troops, fleeing
with their savage associate, forced a gene
ral action, rfhirh quickly terminated in the
capture ot tbe British, nnd dispersion of the
savage force,. .
This result is sirnallv honorable to Ma-,
jor Gknfbal Harrison! ty whose military .
talents xt was prepareait , . . ,
The following triboleof praise was paid
to General Harrison, in 1811, by eleven of

Message of Riman Snyder, Governor of
Pennsylvania. JJec. 10, 1813.
Already is the brow of the young war
rior, Croghan, encircled with laurels, end
the blessings of thousands of women and
children rescued from the scalping knife of
the ruthless savage of the wilderness, and
from Ihe still more savage Proctor rest on
Harrison and his gallant army."
In the Legislature of India na.on the 12th
Nov. 1811, the speaker of the House of
Representatives, Gen. Wm. Johnson, thus
addressed Gen. Harrison:
"Sir The House of Representatives of
the Inuit.ua 1 erntory, in their own name,
and in behalf of their constituents, most
cordially reciprocate the congratulations of
your Excellency on the glorious result ol
the late sanguinary comlict with the chaw
nee Prophet, and the tribes of Indians con
federated with him; when we see di played
in behalf of our country, not only the con
sumate abilities of the general, but the he
roism of the man; and when we take into
view the benefits which must result to that
country from those exertions, we cannot,
for a moment, withold our meeJ of ap
plause." Legislature of Kentucky, Jan. 7, 1812.
Resolved, by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the Slate of Kentucky,
in the late campaign against the Indians up
on the Wabash, Gov. William Henry Har
rison has behaved like a hero, a patriot, and
a general; and that for his cool, deliberote,
HKiliuiana gauani cuikiucl id lub uuuie ui
Tippecanoe, he well deserves the warmest
thanks ot his country anu ins nation.
Gen. Anthonv Wayne, in his Letter to
the Secretarv ot war, giving an omciai ac
count of his sanguinary Indian Battle, in
1792, said:
"Mv faithful and gallant Lieutenant Har
rison rendered the most essential service,
bv communicating mv orders in every di
rection, and by his conduct and bravery,
exciting the troops lo press tor victory.

or traitors; but under one Harrison who
had proved himself lo be wise, prudent atd

The prompt change made by you in the
order of battle, on discovering the position
of the enemy, has always appeared to me to
have evinced a hioh dborer op military
talent. 1 concur with tne veneraoie onei-
by in his general approbation ot your con
duct in that campaign."
Honorable Langtlon Uheves, on tne uat-
tle of the Thames.
"The victory of Harrison was such as
would hove secured to a Roman General in
the best days of the Republic, the honors
of a triumph I He put an end to the war
in the Uppermost Canada.
Sentiments ot the nero or r on oiepuep-
son, Col. Croghan :
I desire no plaudits which are bestow
ed upon me at the expense of General Har
rison.
I have felt the warmest attachment for
him as a man, and my confidence in him as
an able commander remains unshaken. I
feel every assurance that he will at all times
do me ample justiee: and nothing could
give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out their
unfriendly feelings and acrimonious oisiiko;
and as long ob he continues (as in my hum
ble opinion he has hitherto done) to make
the wisest arrangements and the most judi
cious disposition, which the forces under
his command will justify, I shall not hesi
tate to unite with the army in bestowing
upon him that confidence which he so richly
merits, and which has on no occasion been
withheld."
The Richmond Enqnirer said :
" General Harrison's letter tells us every
thing that we wish to know about the offi
cers, except himself. He does justice to
every one but Harrison and the world
must therefore do justice to the man who
was too modeBt to be just to himself."

" General Harrison has done more for his
country, with less compensation for it, thin

PRESIDENT MADISON.
Ex-Governor Hill, Nov. 23d, 1813, in the
New Hampshire Patriot said:
" What man lives, whose whole heart
and soul is nut British, that cannot sincere
ly rejoice in the late victories of Perry and
Harrison, that does not feel n pride in tho
valor and patriotism of the heroes of the
West, who have freed a country largo as
the Empire of Alexander the Great, from
the Indian tomahawk nnd scalping knife!
If there bo such an one, lie is a traitor to
his country he possesses tho spirit of a
murderer."
John M. Niles.lote Van Bnren candidate
for Governor in Connecticut, in his life of
rerry, published in 1821, alter giving a ge
neral biography of General Hurrison, said:
-" The defence of Fort Meigs, and tho
subsequent capture of the British army,
may be fairly considered the most brilliant
and extraordinary events of tho late war."
In alluding to tho battle of the Thames,
he said:
" It must be conceded thai this victory
reflected great honor upon the nation 1
arms, and upon the troops by whom it was
achieved.
" The action, and the movements which
preceded it, afford ample testimony of the
judgment and cool intrrpidity of General
Harrison; and, indeed, all the events of the
campaign support these characteristics;
the disasters attending it, having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
" there are, perhaps, on record, few in
stances of such cool and steady intrepidity,
on the part of militia, or a force of this de
scription, as was displayed on this occa
sion. " Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the
Ariel, and arrived at F.rie on the 22d of
October. Here they were received with
every demonstration of joy and admiration;
the discharge of cannon, illuminations, &c.
They were hailed as tho deliverers of the
frontiers."

HARRISON IN TAMMANY HALL.
Start not, courteous reader, at the above
caption. Gen. Harrison has been at Tam
many Hall, and we are not without hopes
of seeing him again there. We thank the
Express for making the following synopsis
ef a grand dinner given lo the old Chief in
the Wigwam, which he copied from an au
thentic Democratic record, the National
Advocate, the old fortress from which, in
our time, vc have thrown some hot shot.
Those who were honored with a public
dinner at Tummany Hall, were known to
hnve rendered great services to their coun
try, either in the field or in the cabinet.
No equivocal claim ever achieved that dis
tinction; consequently, when we hoar Gen.
Harrison called by some of our old Demo
cratic friends, the "Petticoat Hero, we
beg them to read and pondor on the follow
ing account of the dinner given to the Ge
neral in their own Head Quarters, and un
der the management and direction of the
Democratic General Committee, of which
such men as Henry Rutgers, Abraham Dal
ly, John Targee, Jonathan Thompson, Pe
ter Sharpe, John L. Lawiencc John
Ferguson, J"hn B. Thorpe, be., be,
be, were members. If our Tamma
ny friends of the present doy should be
under the iitlpression that General Harri
son is either what they call a " Federal
Whig," or a "British Whig," or a Black
Cockade man, lake the following declara
tions of his political faith from an address
to his constituents, in 1824, when ho was
candidate for Congress in Ohiot
" I deem myself n Republican, of what
is commonly called, THE OLD JEFFER
SONIAN SCHOOL, anl believe in the
correctness of that interpretation of the
Constitution which has been given by the
writings ofthat enlightened statesman , who
was at tiie head of the party, and others be
longing to it particularly the celebrated re
solutions of the Virginia Legislature du
ring the Presidency of Mr. Adams."
Here voti have his declaration openly on
record, a democrat: of the Jrfferson school
where is the marvel, then, that he should
bo found in Tammany; where the surprise
that he should find himself again in his old
political head quarters, the candidate of the
Democratic party; receiving their thanks
and approbation as a victorious General in
1813, their support as I'resiuent in icy:
There is nothing surprising in it. The
signs look like it but to the dinner.
From the National Adrocntc, of Decemoor, 1013.
" Dinner in honor or General Harri
son. A public dinner was given at Tam
mnnv Hall on Wednesduv last, under the
direction and superintendence of the Re
publican General Cnmmilteo of New York,
to Major General Wm. H. Harrison. The
company assembled amounted to about 300
persons. The party was rendered highly
interesting by the presence of the distin
guished officer in whose honor it was given,
of Gov. Tompkins, and of Mnjor Generals
Dearborn and Hampton,and Judge B. Liv
ingston. A great number of the officers of
the army and navy, and of the volunteer
corps of the city attended. The venera
ble patriot, Col. Rutgers, presided; Gen.
Smith, Col. Swartwout, Aid. Bnckinaster,
and Aid. Wendover, assisted as Vice Pre
sidents. " The interior of the hall was decorated
with more than forty national flags and
military standards, disposed with groat
taste and effect under the direction of Mr.
Holland. Two elegant transparencies from
the pencil of that gentleman, adorned the
walls of the upper and lower ends of the
room. The one represented Gen. Harrison
receiving the submission of the savage al
lies, ' the defenders of our faith,' who were
surrendering their weapons and the pre
sents received from tho British to the con
quoro.', and offering their squaws and pa
pooses as hostages of their fidelity. The
other exhibited the American E3gle, stand
ing on rock in Lake Erie, and proudly ex
panding its wings over its waters. From
his bean proceeded a scrou inscriucu u.
Pluribua Unum,' a view of the bank wid.
f Dribll
djrtwt w&tors -f th(J g,, the p.
apective. The tout enstmble produced by
the flags, the paintings, and a profusion ef
lights, was singularly picturesque and im-
" On the exterior of the Hall was placed
s very elegant transparency, auo from th.
pen of Mr. Holland. In the foreground se.
veral Indian chiefs were exhibited in pos
tures of submission, imploring the clemency
of General Harrison, who was pointing to
a view in the distance of the haul, nt .
glorious tenth of September. This trans.
parency supported another m the form of an
elipsis, on which was inscribed in larva
capitals
"HARRISON'"
" perry."
"don't oive up thb ship."
" The transnarencies were, we under.
stand, presented by Mr. Holland; who also
generously volunteered his services in ar
ranging the decorations of the hall.
" i' ive tables, containing sixty covers
each, and furnished most plentifully with
excellent dishes, were provided for the com
pany. Ornamental representations of cas
tles, pyramids, be. be, displaying the
American flag, were arranged on the tables
at appropriate distances, and produced a
most brilliant and pleasing effect. Too
tnuch credit cannot be bestowed on Messrs.
Maitling and Cozzens, for the elegant and
liberal manner in which their visiters were
provided.
" The distinguished guests were received
at the dining hall, with the music of Hail
Columbia,' from a full und excellent band.
As soon as the company had assembled it
the table, an appropriate prayer was offer
ed by the Rev. Mr. Van Pelt. A similar
ceremony was observed at tho removal of
tho cloth.
"After dinner, the following toasts were
drank, interspersed with excellent songs
from gentlemen of tho company from th.
band."
The regular toasts then follow, which
our limited space precludes us from insert
ing. Among ihe volunteer toasts ire those
of General Harrison, General Hampton, and
General Dearborn. The one by Geo. Har
rison is as followB'
" By General Harrison The freedom of
the seas and the adoption by our Govern
ment of the Roman maxim, which secured
to the citizen his inviolability 12 cheers."
The account thus proceeds: "After
Gen. Dearborn, Gen. Hampton and Gov.
Tompkins had retired, the President gave
the following:
" Major General Harrison The deliverer
of our western frontier 17 cheers."
" Major General Dearborn 12 cheers."
' Major ucneral Hampton 12 cheers."
" Daniel D. Tompkins Governor of the
State of New York 12 cheers."
The Democratic Press, of December 8,
1813, contains the following leading edito
rial paragraph:
" Major General Harrison is this evening
to attend the new theatre in Chestnut
street, to see Mr. Duff perform Macbeth.
That the theatre will be crowded, and that
tho gallant IIahmson will receive the
applause he so well merits', we have no
doubt. We regret to learn that the Gene
ral is in so much of a hurry to reach the
scat of the General Government, that he
cannot accept the testimonials of public ap
probation which were intended for rum by
the citizens of Philadelphia."
THE SCHOOL MASTER ABROAD.
The Baltimore Clipper tells a good story,
of which the following is the substance.
A board of School Commissioners, who en
cumbered a consequcntal little village in
Maryland, being in want of a teacher, ad
vertised in tho newspapers for, "a well
disposed moral man, who was capable of
teaching tho dead languages and did not
chew tobacco or drink whiskey." Afters
fortnight of this advertising had been elab
orated, a raw boned Yankee made his ap
pearance, with a knife and pine stick in one
hand and a Cape Cod Protection, alias a cake
of gingerbread, in the other, and held the
followng dialogue with the committees af
oresaid; " Well, sir;" said the Chairman, eyeing
the candidate from head to foot, "do you
possess the necccssary rcquisiton for a pub
lic school master?"
I guess 1 Jo," answered Slick, whitling
his stick."
" Do you understand Latin?" asked one
of the committee men, a Dutch farmer.
"I guess I do," replied Slick again,
rounding the end of tho stick with his
knife."
" Well, let's hear some of your latin,"
said the chairman.
" Quambo hie sqtiashicum, et punkintum
lingum," sain Slick, drawing his coat sleeve
slowly under his nose.
" Humph! exclaimed the Dutchman, 'isk
that Latin? ' Who's te author?"
". I osephus, replied Slick, " he says in
his life of Gov. Hancock, ' Sic transit glo
ia Monday morning -Hancocibus quad
erat demonstrandum."
" Dai's goot!" exclaimed the Dutchman
rubbing his hands,' tere never vas petter
Latins!" ''Now sir', said the Chairman,
" I suppose you understand geopraphy?"
" I guess I do," said Slick, sharpening
the end of his stick.
" How far have you been?"
" As far as the District of Culumby."
" What state is it in V
" A state of desperation."
" What latitude are we 111?"
" According to the thermometer, wo are
ten degress below zero."
" Which is the most western point of
North America?''
"Cape Cod."
Good. Now sir, let us know how far
you Btudy mathematics. What's ihe arei
of a square acre of land?"
"That depends upon the quality," re
plied Slick, snapping the blade of his knife.
' Well, suppose it be corn land."
Why, it depends upon the number of
hills."
"Guess you might as well tell a feller
how many grains to the hill." Five."
" Then accordin' to Euclid, it would be
750 feet horizontally perpendicular."
'Excellent! Pray where are you from?"
" Staunton, down in the Bay State and
I can do most any thing."
"No doubt; but there is one thing you
cannot d; you cannot humbug us. You
can go.
He who thinks no man above him but
for his virtue, none below him but for hi
vice, can never be obsequious or assuming
a wrong place; but will frequently emulate
men in stations below him, and pity those)
