After an absence of some days, during we have been in attendance at the : la:|e Con ven tion in Miliedgevillc, we are again :H; our post, and when we have recovered from fhei fatigues of all night stage travelling over rougli roads, we will endeavor to lay before our readeijs s ome things which we have seen and heard, wlach we deem worthy of their attention. la *his? nay’s paper will be found the proceedings of tin* Convention complete, to which we invite Ibo attention of those who feel an interest in its denitrations. — It was an occasion of which every ; Hi end of re form in Georgia might well be proud, and we sincerely wish that all couid have t : (rn present, to have imbibed a portion of the en|lmsia»m and zeal, which was so universally difjuied among those present. >.. j ' ri Ward No. 2* \ ■ - ■ i We have seldom witnessed a rnor ; s animated cr animating scene than that of Thursday evening, at the meeting of the Tippecanoe .ji s jiociation of this Ward, of which our paper tojhijiy contains the official report. At an early haul!, the largo dining room of the Eagle and p|ic|uiix Hotel was crowded, and many persons wpr| forced to stand in the passage. When the ({'oinmittee in troduced Judge Berrien and Judgjb Paw to the meeting, they were greeted with fhd rj'iost enthu siastic applause. These gentlem3ii| successively addressed the Association; and luusted a.* they both evidently appeared to |e| from the fatigue of travelling night and daw diaving ar rived only a short time before, from djcdgeville,) their eloquent and spirit-stirring har|aqguea made their hearers forget the weak nest! dhich both pleaded. The only interruption to Ihe almost breathless silence with which they j,v*re listened to, was in plaudits, long and which they drew from their delighted Headers. The views presented of the merits of GPnl Harrison, and the demerits of the present inesjrnbcnt, were as just as they were forcible. And tfhe account given, by both gentlemen, of the proceedings at Miliedgevillc, and the spirit which ru Jnaated the Convention, was cheering in the highest degree. They told us that though there was % dilTerence of views, among some of the Deltjjktes, when they met, yet all agreed to waive miiibjr points,— to sacrifice personal preferences and pHjudices on the altar of their country, and to rub* e on, har monious and united, in die great cubse so dear to every patriot. We cannot but|sel assured that this will be the result. The n?)|iPnation for Electors is a strong and popular cjij «*. It must be received with unanimous approbation; and we are not a little gratified at li|;-ning from Judge Berrien, that it is recommit liked by the Convention to the friends of HARrlflkON, TY LER and REFORM, to meet in ?hh-s«c, at Ma , i ■- con, in August next, and deliberate. Us one people, on the condition of the country. j*H this sug gestion is acted on, we shall see?‘in Georgia, another Baltimore Convex no v; and every freeman will feel las Ueartcheeredj and his arm strengthened, for the struggle in j October and November, —when, let us do om Hri hj, and the victory is won / i | ( * i!| To the Hon. the Mayor and Council.

Permit a citizen!largely inter ested in the welfare of Augusta, tel u*-ge public ly a matter that in the multitude ofjjybur present engagements, may have escaped |v lice. It is well known that some lime ago tljj Raii Road Co., respectfully asked 'permission to cross the River, and terminate Uicj.r Road in the City, and further were willing ho- be placed under safe and proper restrictions tjoi-fn the Coun cil, this application was rejected, and’? the public meeting resulted in the purchase; lof the two Bridges by the city. Since thatj *ime public opinion has changed, and a large mi|jo|ity of those in interest (of the holders of real Jatjile) are fa vorably inclined to a measure that benefit the City without entering further ir| t’je matter; I hope the Council will see the propriety of again looking into this subject and to the city Ibis great advantage. { | As Owner of Rs.j ljEstate.

Washington;, June 2. An important movement has beeb Made in the Senate, on the subject of the bankrupt law. In dictations are very* strong that the southern ad ministration Senators will generally oppose the 18th section of Mr. Wall’s hill, by which the banks are included.. Mr. Clay, of Alabama, moved to strike out those provisions,! and staled as a reason for it, that they would operate disas trously upon his own state, where thefbanks were owned wholly or in part by the state, S and mana ged under its direction. He wasjaiho opposed to the provisions on the ground tb|ati- they must in every instance, infringe more or je«d upon state rights, all these institutions beingtchartered by, and responsible to, the s-ates. pressed a wish to speak on the of this amendment, which he said was vital to the bill, and the hour being late, the Senate aUjourncd. He will speak today. It is said, thouj;,. I know not upon what authority, that Mr. Cal houn will sup port Mr. Clay’s motion to strike put the 18th section, as far as the banks are conlriqned. It is certain that several other southern isiJiininistration Senators, have determined uporl that course. They are unwilling to give New Ifoik, the great financial and commercial advantag^which will result to her from the prostration qf i*he southern hanks. The New Yorkers, without p|irty distinc tions, are in favor of including til* banks be lieving that they can stand the shark. In the House, Mr, A'addy Thqj'-ipson moved that the bill reported from the committee on mili tary affairs, for raising an addition;'* force of six teen hundred men for the of Florida be taken up, and he submitted sunnily communi cations from the Secretary of Wuri, showing that the Indians were in greater force,;ur«l more mis chievoua than ever. Mr. Athertoiji urged the ne -5 cessity of disposing of the sub-treasury bill, be fore any other business was taken up. Mr. Coles informed the House that there would be opposi tion to the bill referred to by Mr. Thompson, and that it would not pass without much debate. The motion was lost, as it required two-thirds.

After the reading of the Resolutions, the meet ing was addressed in a forcible and eloquent manner by Judge Berrien, advocating the claims of General Harrison and John Tyler to the sup port of the meeting.

GENERAL HARRISON CHARGED AS A DEFAULTER. Among the most profligate efforts of a profligate press, is the charge against General Harrison of being a defaulter. It is justly the boast of his friends, that during the long period of his diversi fied public employ nent, r.nd the disbursement of many mil lions of dollars, not one cent of it remains unaccounted for. 't hePittsburgh Mercury gives place to the fol lowing ex tract of a letter from Washington to the Editor of the Richmond Enquirer, to “show that if Harrison is not a defaulter, he is sadly in arrears to the United Slates Treasury.” It says: “Gener al Harrison has ever lived most prodigally. And the habits of prqfuse expenditure, which he taught his son, have piobably done much more to make him a peculator, than the precepts of the General could effect to keep him out of crime.” The ex tract follows : “ K is a fact no less astounding than true, and the archives of the Government will place it beyond a controversy, that J. C. S. Harrison, the son of Gen. Harrison, and a receiver of public money at Vincennes, in Indiana, was removed by President Jackson, because he was a defaulter to the amount of twenty-live thousand dollars to the Government, notwithstanding General Harrison was his securi ty. .CO Behold the auspices of the new Adminis tiatiun! Hchold the haibinger of Harrison and Reform !” How despicably mean must be the head and heart that can promulgate such a paragraph against the war-worn veteran Harrison ? Gen. Harrison a defaulter ! Nearly half a century in the service of the country, has he ever applied a dollar of the public money to his own, or to the use of his friends ? Will any one stand forth and assert that he ever received a farthing of the money for which his son died in arrear to the Government ? Has the General violated any public trust ? He was secu rity for his son —his son died indebted to the Gov ernment, and the debt is unpaid. Now by infer ence, not by direct charge, and the base tricks of party, the Old Hero is to be made out a defaulter I And Thomas liitcli/e aids the vile detraction! General Harrison, with unlimited authority to val ue on the Treasury, cannot be found ever to have used the authority for his own benefit—so far from it, with this authoiity in force, while he was in command of the North-western Army, he for feited large land entries, rather than draw on the Treasury for means to pay it out of the office. J. C. S Harrison, is understood to have become involved,by advances to an Indian agent,confiding in his assurances, of authority to draw cn the trea ty for the money. Instead of the default being twenty-five thousand dollars it does not exceed seven thousand dollars. These things occurred, while Gen. Harrison was absent in South Ameri ca. Soon after his return, he repaired to Washing ton to obtain some indulgence to the estate of his son for the debt, upon the petition of his widow, an only daughter of the heroic Pike. Mr. C lay, a! present a Senator in Congress from Alabama, ad vocated the propriety of relinquishing the debt al together in consideration of (he claims of Gen. Pike. The “act fur the relief of Mrs. Clarissa B. Harri son,” which passed 2d of March 1831, and was ap proved by General Jackson , authorized the settle ment of the Receiver’s accounts upon principles of “justice and equality,” giving the estate time for eighteen years, without interest, to pay this debt. Ten years of this time has yet to come. Alien was ictained upon the real estate ol J. C. S. Ilani son, at the instance of Gen Harrison. The 2nd section of this act is in these words: “Scc. 2. That after the final adjustment of said accounts, the Secretary of the Treasury is heieby authorized to allow to the legal representatives and heirs of said Receiver, the peiiod of eighteen years to pay the amount which shall be found due from said Receiver, without interest, upon such terms as to the Secretary of Hie Treasury shall be deemed reasonable and equitable, by taking a lien on the estate of said Receiver, or such other securi ty as, in his opinion, wiW secure the debt.” After the passage of this law, Gen. Howard then District Attorney, now a member of Congress and Van Huron candidate in Indiana, pro cured a valuation of the real estate of the Receiv er, and being satisfied that two hundred acres of the land is ample se: urity for the debt due the gov ernment, has given permission to sell a house and lot in Vincennes, for the support of the grand chil dren of the inn,aortal Pike, who have been hitherto reared and educated by General Harrison. Thus is this vile slander put at rest. Will Thomas Ritchie acknowledge his error ? General Harrison doe: not owe the Government. He is se curity for a debt of his son, upon which Congress with the approbation of Gen. Jackson, has granted indulgence for eighteen years without interest, settling upon the principles of '•'justice and equity ,” He can only Le called upon w hen that time shall have elapsed, and then only in the event of his son’s estate being deficient, of which there is no probability. Met Thomas Ritchie, fit Co. proclaim him a defaulter j Another Falsehood Refuted.—The federal party love office so much, and the plunder of the people is so sweet, that they resort to every expe dient to retain it. 7’hey slander Gen. Harrison without stint. Among those fabrications on which they most rely, is that, as Governor of the Territory of Indiana, he sanctioned a law requi ring a property qualification to entitle a citizen to vote at elections. If this had hern true, it might have been justified on the ground that he was a native of Virginia and had carried with him that fundamental principle of her constitution ; but when this, like c\cry other charge against him, comes to be examined, it proves that the reverse of the charge made against him is true, and that, so far from restricting the right of sullragc, Gen. Harrison was fur enlarging it. The law which is cited to prove that he was in favor of a properly qualification, turns out to be a law explanatory of the ordinance of Congress of May 7th, 180(R re quiring a freehold of fifty acres of land, &c., w hich extended the construction of that ordinance so as to give the right of suffrage to those to whom , it would have been denied. —Baltimore Pilot, - - I hi H'ti to Gex Washi \oton at tii s Dru- UN i hlathe. — Mr, llackctt. the actor, gives the ! following account of an occurrence at the Dublin i heatre. “ The first night of K p Van Winkle, j when in the midst ot the scene where he finds I himself lost in amazement at the change of his native village, as well as iu himself and every body he meets, a person of whom he is making j inquiry mentions the name of Washington.

On the other hand, suppose her to be the same woman, and deprived of the benefit of education, and it follows thus : If her temper be good, want of education makes her soft and easy; her wit, for want of teaching, renders her impertinent and j talkative; her knowledge, for want of judgment j and experience.makes her fanciful and whimsical. | If her temper be bad, want of breeding makes her worse, and she grows haughty, insolent end loud. Il she be passionate, want ot manners make her a termagant and a scold. If she be proud, want of discretion (which is ill breeding) makes her conceited, fantastic and ridiculous.” Boston.— The census of Boston, just taken, shows that there aie eighty-four thousand in habitants in that city, which gives it thirtv-fivo representatives in the legislature.
