The meeting in the fourth Ward, was particularly in teresting and enthusiastic, at which Major Nel son, an old cocapacwxi in arum and Congress of General Harrison, presided, who also met for the first time in twenty ' ears, his old associate in Re publicanism, Major 'ioel Crawford, who happen ed to ha in the city,-and was invited to attend the meeting. In the cyorse of the evening. Major Crawford was caller' on, and bore testimony to the devotion of General Harrison, in the cause of sound Republican principles, which was received with rapturo>is applause. Many good things were said by various other gentlemen, and the meeting adopted the* most effective means to “car ry the War into Africa.” The meeting in the second Ward, we under i stand was numerous but as we were not present, we are unable to giv.r any account of its proceed ing*. — —1 1 - Judge Cetjuitt’s Circular.

Under this caption the Glebe of the 2d instant contains an article, composed of the most spicy falsehoods manufactured by the “ five hundred horse power” of calumny of that delectable pnm. Let us see if they cannot be counteracted bv a few wholesome truths, which it were well if not only the wbigs, but honest men of all parties, would examine and retain. Let it be remembered that the question to be de cided at the nest presidential election is. shall this be a government of the people or of the ex ecutive! That Van Buren is rbc Northern man, with no principles at ail, while Harrwoa is the south ern man with sou ; hern principles. That Harrison is the candidate of the people, while Van Buren is the candidate of the office holders. That under the present administration, corrup tion, fraud and peculation have pervaded every channel of the government; and that knaves, notoriously dishonest, are retained in office, with no regard to any qualification, save the active * support which they contribute to the administra tion. That ever since the elevation of Martin Van Buren to the presidency, along train of disaster and suffering has followed, and that the country has become impoverished by the misrule and ml a -of an in-efficicntexeculive and un wise cabinet. That Mr. Van Buren and h.s party stand forth the pledged and inexorable foes to the cre dit system, and that the blight which has fallen upon the nation cen be clearly traced to the sys tematic and untiring efforts of locofocoism to crush commerce, annihilate credit, and destroy public confidence—efforts in which they have sue ceeded to a deplorable e stent. Let the people remember that Gen . Harrison is the candidate of RElf ORM. That he ba»<leclaret| in favor cf a single pres idential term, thereby avoiding the intrigue, cabal and coi rupling means sfc commonly employed to secure s re-election, a<*| thus inducing me execu tive to confine himse<f|« the strict line of bis constitutional duties. * That he is a republic' a of tbc old school—the favsnt* of Washington., Jefferson, and Madison —the patriot and hero of forty years standing— a man without fear and withoet reproach. That on the abolition question his ACTS have tested the sincerity of hi*, southern feelings, while (hose of Mr. Van Buret* have proved him to be a negrophilisl in fact. s Let the people remember that the administra tion is the sworn enem | of state rights, which it has spurned and trampl*L upon, by disfranchising a sovereign slate ol her £ght to be represented on the floor of cong r c«s—disregarding and despising the obkat seal of thaLitate, by which she at tempted to enforce her lidefeasible claim. That under this administration the popular voice has ocen stifled, fie purity of the elective franchise vitiated, and lU value incalculably im paired, by tho intermciij ling of office holders— acting under secret instruction* —in political con tests; and Ivy their effor j in all the large cities, to bribe, co *rupt, browbeat or seduce the people. That for these purposes the officeholders have been taxed considerable and where the levy has proved insufficient, money has been drawn trom the treasury,' ind vast sums have been thus indirectly filched fr| m the people with the express object of defeating their will. That the President h| s recommended and en dorsed the proposition isf the Secretary of War, to create a standing arm| of two hundred thous and men in a lime of pil found peace—a scheme of overshadowing despo'lim worthy of the auto crat of all the Kmsias, ge the ruler of the Otto man empire.

DouaHTT, Secretary. I | Tint Lot, Cabin a.\d its Kri tcT*. —No belter evidence of the consciousness of coming defeat need be asked than is manifested by the temper ol * our political opponents, i'hey grow crabbed as 8 they approach their end, and even our neighbor ol , the Pnunsyhuman permits momentary conquests of his kindness, and gives up himself and his bet ’ ter feelings to the influence of disappointment, it is natural to all, though not fmjuenl in our neigh* f bur. a In reply to some remarks fad h minem) which we a few days sime made upon the propriety ol * the Loco focos railing at log eabins and hard cider, when they themselves rallied round a hickory l*oie 1 and a porter bottle, tbe Pennsylvanian uses the e following language: “Alas for federal whiggery !—alack for com* moa sense and “ original” genius ? 1$ this all it 1 can say in the premises f Has it no other excuse, i no other justification, for it* degrading mumme ries, masquerading* and hard cider debaucheries, . which are disgusting Hie people from one end of * the loioii to the olher 1 As lor originality, we believe the Whigs do not , pretend to any in the log cabin and hard cider.—- They do not, however, adduce the hickory poles and purler bottles as the origin of the cabin and ' cider —they quote the movements of the enemy f in justification to that enemy. i Hut the origin of the log cabin ami hard cider is , of later date than those palmy days of Lot otoco nia when processions of stolen hickory poles and imitation porter bottles, by federal office holders, 1 were daily occurrences. These new emblems were adopted by the Whigs from the ill-tempered sneer of some pulled up Locofoco aristocrat who, to ex press tlie palace contempt of the Hero of Tippeca noe and the Farmer of North Bend, and to sneer at bis want of wealth, s.aid that “ with a small pen * sion, Genera) Harrison would sit content for the re- I maiuder of his life, and drink hard cider in a log cabin." Stung to the quick by this insult to a veteran 1 soldier, a sound politician, and an honest man, the yeomanry of the country have resented the cold blooded stab, and are determined to make tlie con temners of their candidate and his virtues feel the full ellect of their insolent bearing. They have not attacked the man who used the language, nor mobbed the office from whiefi it emanated in print —they have used no physical violence to the party that approved the sentiment, nor assaulted to death any one who might bear testimony by public pa rade against the Whig candidate; but, adopting a practice sanctioned by history, the Whigs have seized on the very words of the insult, and made them their war cry The log cabin that was to be the abode and reward of the derided Farmer is made the emblem and standard symbol of the victo rious candidate. The rude construction of unhewn wood that was the object of the Pharisaical taunt with the Van Buieu letter writer, is elevated to the dignity of a party, almost national, ensig.i, while the linger of the peop e.fiom Maine to Mississippi, and from Hie Lakes to the Atlantic, has inscribed above their log cabin rallying point, in letters of lire, to hoc signo vtnees. In this sign we snail conquer, and the palace at Washington shall owe its renewed purity to the despised log cabin of North Bend — Philad. V. S. Gazette. The Gold of Character.—The character of Gen. Harrison, like gold, grows brighter the harder it is rubbed. The better he becomes known the bet ter he is liked by the people. The harderhe is rub tied by assaults of enemies, the brighter he shines. His proves to be a character that will stand the most rigid scrutiny. He comes out of the crucible of examination, when healed seven fold hotter than ever, unscathed by the fiery ordeal. Every assault upon him so far has been triumphantly re pelled. Every man of his political enemies have given, and still continue to give their public admi ration of the man, and acknowledge his impor tant services and great worth. And we venture to say that nt- man ever received such honorable tes timony of worth and excellence from his political enemies as have been displayed to Genera' Harri son. Honorable men, who although they differ wuh him in politics, nevertheless break through parly shackles, come forward and testify to his great services and worth. W hen a man possesses i xcharacter to draw forth such praise and testimoni ; ait #f excellence from his political enemies, in j limes hue tnese, when partizan fer lings consume almost every thing of an antagor ist# ill character, we say be mast be a mas truly. —Memphis i.nq. From the United States Gazette, Propensities. A writer in the Richmond Enquirer thus de scribe# tbe leading propensities of tbe British Whig*: “ Bragging is their forte. It is with them, high brag, low brag, I brag, you brag, we brag, they brag, all brag.” The Editor of the Richmond Enquirer mu?t feel greatly flattered at the currency which his brother loco-focos give to his remarks; bat, most unfortunately for the Richmond oracle, his own prophecies prove to he brags, and even where be ougnt to know, and where, indeed, if be knows any thing about politic#, he does know a Utile of what is to be, there his promises of success most signally fail of fulfilment—there they become brag, high brag, and low brag. For example, just before tbe late election in Virginia, the En quirer bragged; HIGH BRAG! “ We shall succeed in gaining ten or fifteen counties, and we can scarcely lose more than 3 or 4.” This is a clear gain of about 12. LOW BRAG ! ! “ The horizon is brightening around us. Let the People only turn out, and we carry the State. We were never better satisfied of the fact.” THET BRAG, AXD ALL BRAG !!! “ All our accounts from the to the Ohio, are of the most cheering de^ r jp t i on> j n a word, we look for the happiest result# in the old Dominion.’ It appears to us that the result of the V irginia election is a pretty mortifying commentary on the b ra Sging paragraphs and bragging propensities I of the Richmond Enquirer. Humbug.—On the eleventh day of May, in- I slant, Mr. Benton, complaining in the Senate that officers and contractors had been induced to ex ‘ change gold received from the Government for Bank paper which they paid out, among other things said, as appears by the Globe, “As to contractors, they stood in a relation to the Gov ernment, a little different from officers. It might , be. in consequence of the disclosures now made, j {the fact that they had sold tbe gold received from the U. S., and received paper of the Bank of the U. S. which they paid out,) that a clause would ' be inserted in future contracts, requiring the con tractors to pay out the hard money received from the Government.” Now we charge the fact to be, i , and stand ready to prove it that Mr. Benton htm ► . #eif has sold the gold which he has received this , session of Congress, to the amount of 10 or 11 hundred dollars at one time, for depreciated pa per money, which he calls filthy rags, pocketing tbe premium of 10 per cent, at that lime, and ■ thus doing the very thing which he denounces I in a government officer or contractor. [Madi sonian, A meeting of Locofocos in Boston ha# passed resolutions declaring that the elections in New York, Virginia, and Connecticut! have been ' highly favorable to the Van Buren party. Is this whistling to keep up courage ! A New York paper gives the following as a r resolution offered by Mr. Van Buren, in Hudson, .

The Charleston Courier of yesterday #«y#: About half past 1 o’clock thia morning, the alarm of Fire waa given, which was eaceiulnod to have proceeded from the three alory wooden building ul the aouth ea»l corner of King-street liecka-alley. owned by Messrs. Moffett 6l Culder, and occupied by Messrs. Sdcox, Brother 6c Co. as a Furniture were bouse. j We could not ascertain the exact position of the Fire, but the flame# appeared to proceed from the lower story of the budding, which contained a quantity of Furniture. Ihe firemen were quickly on the spot, and from the well directed streams of water poured on the building, it was soon got under, alter considerable injury to the inside of tlie building, and the destruction of a quantity of furniture. We have not been able to learn how the fire originated. From the Charleston Courier. John C. C alhoun llejoicing ala Harri son Victory. In 1835, the whig* of Maryland achieved a glorious victory under the Hakhison flag. In j consequence, the whig# gave a grand festival. Among a large number of distinguished gentle men, Mr. Calhoun was invited to attend; to which invitation he sent the following letter ; “ Fort Hill, 4lh Nov., 1835. “ Gentlemen—'The mail of yesterday brought me your note of the 21 si ult., inviting me, in the name of the citiz ms of Baltimore, opposed to tbe President nominating his succcs«or, to attend a festival to be given on the 1 Ith inst. in honor of the late triumph in Maryland, by those opposed to the executive nominee. The great distance, and the shortness of the time, put it out of my power to attend. No one can look with greater alarm than I do, on the attempt of the Chief Ma g slrate to appoint his successor. Should it suc ceed, open and undisguised as it is, and resting, as it almost exclusively dues , on the avowed sub serviency of the nominee to the will of the Presi dent, WITHOUT THOSE HIGH lit* ALI VI CATION S AMD SERVICES, ON HIS PART, CALCULATED TO COMMAND THE REGARD OF THE PEOPLE, OR TO FIT HIM FUR THE DUTIES OF THE HIGH OFFICE to WHICH tic aspires, it would afford conclusive proof of the consummation of Executive usurpa tion, over the olher departments of the govern ment, and the constitution and liberty of the people. Entertaining these views, I regard with plea sure th e decided victory achieved by Maryland in the late election, over the President's nominee, and, of course over Executhe dictation. It is the more honorable to the Stale, placed as she is so near the Jocus of influence and corruption , while others more remote and less exposed, have yielded such ready obedience to the rod of power. Her victory cannot but have an important bear ing, in deciding the present struggle favorable to the cause of liberty : but a regard to truth, compels me to say, that, in my opinion, whatever may be the result of the pending contest between the people and the President, the time must come, and that far sooner than it is anticipated, when Executive influence and power will forever s - lence the popular voice, unless, indeed, tbe friends of liberty and free institutions shall zeal ously and honestly unite in a common effort to eradicate the causes which have given such ex- • traordinary power and influence to the Execu tive department of the Government and placed tbe counfry in its present dangerous conaition. Thkt mat be almost traced to THE SAME ORIGIN, THE FISCAL ACTION of the GOVERN MENT. While millions on millions are heaped up in the Treasury, bevond the expenditures of this, the most extravagant of all administrations, con stituting an immense fund to act on tbe cupidilv of the mercenary, and to unite in one solid and compact band all. in and out of office, who pre fer their own advancement to the public good ; any attempt to arrest the progress of power and corruption, must end in disappointment and fail ure.” [ln consequence of the length of the letter— and fearing we may trespass 100 much on your columns, we omit the conclusion of it.] Messrs. Editors—The fond hope expressed hv Mr. Calhoun, was realized, in the triumphant election of the Harrison Electoral ticket in Mary- , land. A similar result await# the same ticket at the approaching presidential election. And we < could hope that fact, would afford him equal plea •ure. Him. 1 I. The People versus their Representa-* tives. —Os the twenty-eight \an Buren mem-, bers of the last General Assembly of Rhode Is land, only thirteen could be brought up to vote in favor of the darling project of the Administra- 1 lion—the Sub-treasury. Os these, only six have 1 been re-elected. Such is the verdict, not mere ly ot the People, but of the Democratic party ; for, of the seven men who have been left at home, the piace of only one has boen supplied by a Whig. ! I heir own party La# turned against them. Their own men cannot support this measure of the Administration so opposed to ail tbe true interests n . this Slate. The men who voted for it have therefore been abandoned by their own party. So of the men who voted against the public land resolutions. Os the twenty-two men who voted to give away the inheritance of Rhode Island in this vast domain, only ten have been re-elected. I O r these ten, only three have been replaced by W higs. The other seven have been turned out by their own party, and other men of the same gen eral political principles have been pul in their places. How truly does this show that the People have i been deceived. And as soon as they ascertained the extent of the fraud that had been practised upon them, they dismissed their unworthy ser vants, and have placed others in their stead. Let those others see that they do not 4 follow in the footsteps of their illustrious predecessors,” in their votes or the People will compel them to follow in their footsteps at the polls also. The Democrats now only wish to have it fully explained and made eviden tlhat the doctrines for which they ex pelled those man are the true doctrine# of the Administration, and they will turn against Mar tin Van Buren precisely as they have turned against these men in the General Assembly. The People only wish to understand the prin ciples of the party in power, in order to repudiate them.— Providence Journal. Roger Minot Sherman.—Many years ago, while the legal reputation of Roger Minot Sher man was yet in its infancy, and he himself a young man of twenty-three, ho was a resident of Norwalk, Connecticut. He has been a member j of the State Senate, and was very highly respec ted ; but ite party adverse to him in politics sud denly gained the ascendancy, and deteimined to bring him down a peg or two. A “ town-meeting was to be held, and town officers to be appointed ; among whose number, in old Connecticut, is an official personage de- ; signaled a*• Hog-hayward." The duties of this dignitary are not exactly synonymous with those i of the “ High agator of the sister State of New Jersey, (whose business it is to take the curls out of pigs tail*;) but are much more responsible, though perhaps hardly as laborious. The hog hay ward’s duties are to “ captivate” all stray pigs put rings in their noses, and imprison them m “ the village pound.” To this high office his en emies resolved to elevate Mr. Sherman. The town-meeting convened, despatched it# other bu siness, and came to the election of petty officers, at the tail of which list stand# the officer wre speak of. “ Gentlemen.” said the moderator, “ please to nominate fur hog-hayward.” “ Roger Minot Sherman !” exclaimed half-a dozen voices. The moderator, being a worthy man, was somewhat amazed.; but could do no kss than pul it to vote, by requesting “ those in favor of the nomination to hold up their right hands.” The majority of elevated hands was over whelming; but the moderator felt inclined to give the matter the go-by, and said it was “ not a vote.” The voters immediately clamored (or a division of the house. Mr. Sherman, who had remained quietly seated in a corner, now rose, and with great frankness said ;—“ Mr. Moderator, this seems to me most decidedly to be a vote ; and | nevertheless, I would thunk you to allow the ! house, to divide, in order to show me Aotp many hogs I shall have to take charge of!”— Mirror.

At the period when Murat was about to invade j Sicily, the Chevalier K , Paymaster Genera* of the Neapolitan forces, was travelling through Calabria for the purpose of joining the army, hav ing oeen to Naples to make arrangements for the transmission of a quantity of specie. He had sent on his servant before him, to prepare his quarters at the town of .expecting to arrive there himself by night-tall; hut the day being very sul try, he had loitered on the road, and at nine o’c.ock in the evening, fousd he was still a considerable distance from the proposed end of his journey. He was so much harrassed and fatigued that he de» temuned to put up for the night at the first con venient house. He at length entered an old ro mantic building on the road side, inhabited by a man and ius wife, the former a stout muscular figure, with a swarthy countenance almost w holly shrouded in a mask of bushy whiskers and must** Chios. The traveller was received with civility, and after partating of a hearty supper, was con- > ducted up an old crazy staircase, to bis apartment I for the night. Not much fancying the appearance 1 of the place, and finding no lock on the door, he fixed a chair against it; and, after priming his pis tols, put them carefully under his pillow. He ha 4 not been long in bed when he herud a noise below, as it persons entenag the house ; and, soare lime aflerwards was alarmed by the sound of a raaa’< footsiep on the staiicase. He then perceived a light through the crevice of the door, against which, the man gently pressed for admittance, but finda*£ some resistance, he thrust it open sufficiently au admit his hand, with extreme caution, removed the chair, and entered the apartment, ’i'he I'bx- • aher then saw his host, with a tamp in one hau.l : and a huge knife in the other, approaching tbe be-i ®n tipto.-. TheChcvaliercocked hispis.ob beweaih the be dcloths, that the noise of the spr ug m igbi aot j be heard. When the man reached the side of t2se bed, be held the light to the thevali zr's face- who pretended ti be in a profound sleep,but csst&'ivs-d ■ neveilheless, to steal an occasion-. 1 glance aX his fcatful host. The man soon turned from kira > as 4 after hanging the lamp on the bed post, waul to 1 the other end of the room and brought Swtiae bed- , ' side a chair, on which he immediately mounted, with the tremendous knife still in h»>* aarw\ the very moment that the Chevalier was about to. start up from the bed and shoot him, the man in & hurtled manner, cut several enormous slices from a piece of bacon that was Waging over kus bed stead, though it had been w holly unnoticed before by the agitated traveller. The host passed the light before his eyes again, aud Jeff the room m the same cautious way in whick he had entered it, and unconscious of the danger he bad escaped returned to a crowd of new and hungry guests be low stairs, who were of coarse not very sorry to perceive that he had sared Es hacom. “ Put th at and that T^cethe*.’ I —Wm.

Cohskts.—The Huston Transcript exebiu against the ladies being squeezed in corsets VV* see the drift of the fellow ; if any squeezing, .* l>c done, he wishes to do it himself. We cons, ° a lady’s waist never apjiears lovelier to U g th ?* when it is broad and large ; a good armful. Your cornstalk figures are scarcely palpable— to r m brace them » analagous to hugging a kmui r * needle. W hen a lady’s bosom is compressed with cords and canvass, how can the hcartthrob and dilate with generous emotions ? How C a. such a bosom feel friendship, or sympathy o* love ? A large waist is generally speaking, a sign of loving and loveable qualities. Thera tiona.e ol the thing is as plain as sunshine. \ small waist is the indication ol a small heart, «nd a small heart will seldom be found to contain those noble and expansive srniimenH which con stitute the essence of all female loveliness. There* fore, girls, if you wish to be beloved, do not screw and compress your gentle bosoms. Do not bind the sweet emotions of vour hearts in ropes of I h « m P en r «g> J'ty. Do not choke up the fountains ! of filing and sentiment with bits of hard canvas and stakes of stubborn whalebone. N'o, UJi t ., ; do nothing of the kind, and be assured of this that the fellow who admires a female in a state of excruciHlingagony.whoby bis pernicious taste would impose on her an undeserved penance such a foolish fellow, we say, and his good opin ion are not worth a thought. Men of good sense , like a large waist in » wife, but very little waist !in the family. Tliere is no economy in screw ing up your persons; but we have often observed that ladies who make a practice of doing so are nevertheless tccuie-fitl and extravagant. Phil Ledger.
