I ©Meeting in Alexandria. —The Alexandria ■ Gazette states that a large and highly respectable ■town meeting was held in that city on Tuesday of ■ jist week, in relation to the late refusal of Con to charter any Bank within the District of ■Columbia. and m favor of the ret recession of that ■ part of the District to the State of Virginia. The ■ Mayor presided, and a number of spirited resolu- Btioni were adopted. I Excellent (Joiter Ore has been found in Id limestone quarry near Zoar Bridge, in Fair field coumy, Connecticut. From the Cincinnati Gazette. The Reason Why. Now tei 1 ire, father, why men shout . So loud tor Harrison ? In every irowd —in every street They only speak of one ! 5 Xis a long ta!e to tell, my child, You'll hardly understand Bad, wicked men are now in power, A curse o’er all the land. Now these bad men wc want to send Back to their homes away, And that is why you hear us call For Harrison all day. But, father dear, is Harrison Quite certain not to do As these bad, wicked men have done. So hated now by you ? My son, we judge what men will do * By what they’ve done before, And every time we find them true We trust then more and more. Now this great man whose name you hear Proclaimed by every one, Has witlded power almost as great I ® As many kings have done. And yet he never swerved a hair FronoPhonor’s strictest laws ; He thought it recompense enough To tight in Freedom’s cause ! And many a time his life he risk'd Upon the battle lie d, And iho’ the foe oft pressed him close, He was known to yield. So now, my child, you see why men Do shout for “Freedom’s Son,” And why they’ll never leave the fight They nobly have begun, Till victory’s banner waves supreme ; Hurrffh for Harrison ! t== ■ -- = Meeting iu Columbia County.

' Columbus, Ga., June 26, 1840. trwtf 1 BROKE loose, on Friday, the 3d of r July, in Broad street, Augusta, Ga., a - chesnut sorrel HORSE, with a notable I blaze in his face. The white docs not run down d straight in the usual way, but is very much in , dined to the left; with a long thick tail. He had e on a new snaffle bridle, with long stout reins; a s good saddle, with a dark blanket. Any person taking up said Horse, will be suitably' rewarded by leaving him at Mr. ALMOND’S Stable. ’ J u] y 8 ts TOM TUNSTALL. - This thorough bred Horse will stand this time until the first of July ._Cnext at the stable in the lower part of Augusta, formerly'occupied by Bertrand, Jr. Terms —$30 the season, payable at the last visit; for three or me re mares, owned by' the same per son, $25 each: $1 for the groom. PEDIGREE. J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama, certifies as follows :—“ Tom Tunstall was foaled mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare; the sire of Highland Mary was old PacoleL Tom Tunstall was sired by' old Pacific, and he by old Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’ I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as good a stock as any horse in the United States. — He was a race horse of the first order, but I lear will never be able to make a first rate race again, owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year , old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har ndy Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus :—“ Highland Mary _ combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough breds than any mate ever raised in Tennessee. — She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by' Sir Archie; grand-dam Sally'Jones by the imported horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine, (son of O’Kelley’s Eclipse, and one of the purest importations of the last century,) great grand-dam by the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-grand dam O’Possum by' imported Shark; great-great great-grand-dam by'the celebrated American quar ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great groal-great-grand-dam by imported I'eamaught; great-great-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s old Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mon key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary e to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none it will require a purer or better attested pedegree!— it If farther recommendation be wanted, call and see Tor WILLIAM HOLMES, Agent, too 22—tnvScwtt PUBLIC SALES.
