Meellng7itt Carroll Comity. A poition of the citizens of Carroll County, op posed to the present Administration of the General 'Government, having assembled in tbe C ourt House, at Carrolton on Monday the 27th of July, 1840, agreeable to previous notice, the meeting was or ganized by calling John Long, Esq., to the Chair and appointing J. H. McClure, Secretary. The object meeting was then explained by Thos. ChandlOTjEsq. Preamble and Resolutions were then offered by Dr. D. B. Palmer, which were unanimously adopted. Whereas, great distress exists in the land, and that we believe it depends upon the tnal-adminis tration of the general Government. And whereas great enormities exist in the government at this time, owing as we suppose to extravagance and corruption. And whereas new principles are at tempted to be initiated and inscribed, and our Con stitution and Laws tending to thejultimate des truction of our common 'government and country. And whereas, we set our seal of disapprobation and opposition on all such measures and principles. Be it therefore Resolved, That we disapprove of and oppose the altering of the general government to reduce the prices of labor and produce in this country, by forcing upon us the Sub-Treasury, thereby imitating the wretched hard money gov ernments of Europe,which in a word,is to impover ish the country, or make the rich man richer, and the poor man poorer. Resolved, That we highly disapprove of, and op pose the attempt of the Executive to sanction the introduction of free negro evidence in this free coun try, and his former advocacy of free negro suffrage, believing it tcuds to the worst kind of abolition ism. Resolved, That we disapprove of, and resent the attempt of the administration, to saddle upon our country a Standing Army of two hundred thousand men. believing it tends to Monarchy in its worst shape, and to the rearing of a Crowned Head, and Princely Monarch. Resolved, That we consider the expenses, ex travagancies, and corruptions of this administra tion, double to that of any other, and we will do all in our power to effect reform by fair means and reasonable arguments, and for this pur pose we will send as many delegates to the Macon Convention as conveniently can go. After which, the following Preamble and Reso lutions were offered by Thos. Chandler, Esq., and were also unanimously adopted : Whereas, we are shortly to be called upon by duty to ourselves and to our country, to cast our votes for a Chief Magistrate of this great confede racy, and as the distress of the people and the de ranged state of the currency of the country, are disasters brought upon the people by some unusual cause, it may be proper to inquire what that cause is, in order that by removing the cause, the effect may cease. We think the spirit of speculation, the over trading, and the bloated credit system to which all our disasters have been attributed by some, have not been main cause of those disastersi but have only been seconda y springs. There is one great main spring the cause of all these ef fects, and that main cause has been the policy pursued by ttie Government. It will be admitted by all, that the country was prosperous until the experiments were commenced, and until the Presi dent took the responsibility. After the depos its were placed in the State Banks, large issues of the Bank Rags were encouraged by the late Ad“ ministration, and if we are not mistaken, the deposite Banks were instructed by the Govern ment to make loans to the pcopla on the strength of the deposites, and the State Banks throughout the Union were taken under the especial care of the Government Party, and the Credit System was encouraged by that party, both in and out of office. Money was plenty every where, property sold high, and Banks sprung up as thick as mmhroons alter a summer’s rain.j And when, after it was as certained that the hist experiment was a failure, and the deposites were taken from the pets, the party in power, passed an act to distribute the sur plus among the States, for the purpose of being dis libuted among the people, and it was the policy of the government parly,at least in some of the to loan this fund out io the people,on accommodation* still encouraging speculation, over-trading, and the bloated Citdit system. After encouraging all these things, to get the people deeply in debt on the credit of their property, which in such plenti ful limes of money, was of great value, the gov ernment party all at once discovered that specie was the only constitutional currency, that there was too much speculation amongst the people; that the b: nks and the credit system were ruining the country. The administration commenced a war against all banks, which in self-defence have been forced to call in their circulations, to collect debts due from the people. Thus the shafts pretended ly aimed at the banks, have been hurled against the p ople, and the government, as though bent upon bearing down all befoie it, refused to pay the last installment of the surplus to the States. Thus the government, after encouraging the banks to excessive issues, and the people to .an in debt for speculation and other causes, suddenly turned right about and used all its influence and powers, to cur tail the circulation in order to reduce the piice of property and of labor, the main stays of the great majority of the people. These facts are fully veni fied in the argument of the leading mem.ers of the present administration in the Senate, on the Sub- Treasury Bill. This Sub-Treasury System, is the great favorite of the administration; the test ques tion of parties. Its advocates have avowed that it would have the effect to bring the country to a specie currency, and to reduce the price of proper ty, and the wages of labor. If the system has the effect its friends ascribe to it, we at once see the effect on people now in debt. The price of prop erty is already reduced one half, and is still to be veduced-rnore. Their property when sold, will go into the hands of the money holders and office holders, to pay the cost. The debt will still be unpaid, and all this brought on by the policy of the government and its meddling with the curren cy. If the present state of things continue, what will be our fate i Our property sold, our labor of no value, and we still in debt, subject to be ham pered by our merciless creditors. But Mr. Van Buren may provide for us by gratuitously grant ing us a place in his Standing Army, where lie may require us as loyal subjects, to march in his wars against all that may oppose the man he may appoint for his successor. If it comes to this, that the President may tinker with the currency, until he ruins the people, and then openly recom mend Congress in direct violation of the Constitu tion, to give him a Standing Army in time of peace, to be raised out of the people, and be put under his control, to be officered by him, thus increasing his power and patronage, what hopes have we, that this country, our own proud and boasted republic will longer be free, unless the people rally to the standard of freedom. But the principles of the present administration } which we hold to be oppressive and anti-republi can, donotstop with the measures we have named. Much might be said of the extravagant expendi tures of the public money, and the taxing of offi cers to raise an electioneering fund, of the admit ting negroes to give testimony against free white persons, of the disfranchising a sovereign State, of the disgraceful management of the Flori da War. of the arrest and trial of officers df the Army, for purchasing subsistence from Whigs who sold cheaper, instead of Administration men, who sold higher, with many other measures which have been either attempted or carried out b} the party in power. Therefore, Resolved. That we will use all honorable means in our power, to encourage a reform in the admin istration of the government of the United Stales, and for that end believing General William Henry Harrison, to be an honest man, and a true patriot, and we will suport him for the next President of the United States, and John Tyler, of V irginia, for Vice President. Resolved, That we do not hold the doctrine held bj' a late President of the United Stales, that the President is theimmediate representative of the peo ple, and that the people, by electing, sanction all previously expressed opinions of the man they elect. Resolved, That the meeting send a delegate to the anti-Van Buren Convention, to be held at Ma con, on the 13th of August next, from each Mili tia District in the county. On motion of Dr. D. B. Palmer, Resolved, That a Committee of live be appointed by the Chairman, to recommend to the meeting one Delegate from each Military District, to represent tliis County in the anti-Van Buren meeting, to be held at Macon on the 13th of August next, under which Resolu tion the following gentlemen w r ere appointed that Committee, to wit : James Baskin, Esq , Sloman Winn, Dr. Thos. F. Roberts, Henry S. Chance, Esq.,Thos. Duke, Esq., The Committee recommended, Dr. Thos. H, Roberts, Amos Hetton, Henry S, Chance, Esq., Elijah McPherson, John Robinson Esq., Thomas Pruzer, Esq., Col. Win. O. Wagnon, Thos. Mc- Gucrd, Esq., H. P. Mabry, Esq., and Thomas Duke, Esq. On motion of Henry S. Chance, Esq. Resolved, That all persons friendly to the cause of Reform, that can convenienly, be requested to attend said meeting at Macon. On motion of Thomas Chandler, Esq. Resolved, That the Secretary forward the pro ceedings of this meeting to the Southern Recorder, and the Reformer at Augusta, after being signed by the Chairman, and countersigned by the Secre tary, with the request (hat they publish them, and tiiat other Editors friendly to Reform, be requested to publish them also. JOHN LONG, Chairman. J. H. McClure, Secretary. Meeting in Paulding County. At a public meeting held by a respectable por tion of the citizens of Paulding County, at the Court House, in Vanwert, on the 17th ult., Wood son Hubbard was called to the Chair, and John T. Colquitt appointed Secretary. The Chair then proceeded to explain the objects of the meeting, which he did in a brief and appropriate manner, and suggested the propriety of appointing delegates to the Macon Convention, to he held on Thursday, the 13th August, to represent the views and wishes of the citizens of Paulding county in said Conven tion, with regard to the promotion of Wm. Henry Harrison, as a suitable person for President in the approaching Presidential contest-. Resolved, That a committee be appointed to nominate delegates to the Convention at Macon. Tire following gentlemen were nominated as that Committee: David Clopton,G. W. West, Asa Pry or, John Curd, and James M. Ware. The committee then retired, and after a short deliberation, returned and reported the following named gentlemen, as suitable delegates to repre sent the views of the citizens of Paulding county, in the Convention to be held in Macon. Thomas Sparks, John Y. Allgood, Alfred Shoiter, Joel L, Flanagan. John Curd, Resolved, That this meeting believe the faults alledged against General Harrison, of his being an Abolitionist and Fe .'eralist, arc bare assertions, unsupported by truth, or even the color of it; and, hence this meeting regard not the parly slang, false accusations, and abuse, against the Hero of Tippecanoe, teeming through the Administration presses; for what better could we expect fiorn those venjl partizans, lugging ast o r, and sucking at, hat fountain of abominations, the Treasury tit. Resolved, That this meeting believe that a word to the wise is sufficient, especially to ail those who regard not Van Buren and the surplus revenue less, but the libe.iy, prosperity, and future welfare of our common country more. \\ GODSON HUBBARD, Chahman, # John T. Colquitt, Secretary. Heavy Damages.—A few days ago an im portant case was tried at the United States Dis trict Court, held at Columbus, Ohio, Judges Mc- Lean and Leavit, presiding. The parlies were McKenney vs Neil, Moore & Co. stage coach proprietors. It was shown satisfactorily to the Court and jury, that Messrs. Neil, Moore & Co. were very extensively concerned as stage coach proprietors, and generally gave entire satisfaction to the public. Yet, in this instance, it was evi dent that the grand injury sustained to the plain tiff was caused by the upsetting of a coach while in the charge of a driver who was incapable of , taking charge of the horses. The jury returned a verdict of damages for the plaintiff, Jive thou sand three hundred and twenty-three dollars. Van Blues Democracy.--Three gentlemen, all \an Huron men, were lately applicant : for the vacant post office, in Columbia, Tenn. The paople took a vote in order to signify tneir prefer ence. \oorhes had 127 votes, Herndon 40, and M alker 5. Walker was a writer for a Van Buren paper, and got the appointment—though least acceptable to the people. — Cin. Gazette.

Are they here? No, sir! They dare not shew their faces 1 to this enlightened assembly. They shrink from r our call.” j Such was nearly the language (for I was at some r distance from the speaker) ot a rhodomontadc orator g and office expectant, at a political meeting lately 1 held in Madison, Morgan county. | I looked around me duiing a kind of pause made t by this all subduing, knock-em-down speech ma- g ker. I whispered to one of my neighbors, “sure- ] ly,” said I, “it is a gone case with us. Are none t of our Tippecanoe boys here to give him a blast?’’ ( “Hush, Simon,” said he, “let him get through, and' 1 I will tell you all about this meeting.” He then * J => t took me aside. “Mmon,” said he, “we ought not to have been here, (however our ignorance may be i some excuse.) I have just heard that this is a \ meeting, and a free barbecue is to be given this 1 evening, to all opposed to the election of General Hrrrison. Several Harrison men in the village r were anxious to be present, and made all reasona ble advances for an invitation; but they got the i cold comfort of (his reply, from one of the head i men of the party —‘ No gentleman will be expect- 1 ed to be there without an invitation; if they arc* 1 they will be looked upon as intruders.’ Os course we cannctexpect to hear the eloquent gentleman j answered.” I fell rather small; if I could have a vanished I should have been glad. But surely, £ thought I, if they have any light to throw upon 1 the subject, those whom they think love darkness’ c ought to be permitted to see it. This is rather a | Missionary spirit, according to my notion of things- ~ This blast you have just heard was delivered for % the sake of effect, that the audience might believe \ that they were invited to hear a discussion, and no t answer being made, they will think they have c vanquished all the Harrison men of Morgan, and r V that they dare not appear to advocate their cause. t “They are now holding a caucus .” No; stop, said f I, not a caucus; they go their death against ran- p cussing. Don't you remember they have used c this word against us on all occasions. “Well,” *■ said he, “that may be so; but never did cattle fol low the bell of a 'beast' oetterthan they follow the acts and commands of their junto.” I went away ashamed and mortified—l had been an intruder.— However I htd this consolation, that it was the first great political meeting that 1 had ever heard J of, where free citizens, who desired to behave themselves, could not have a silent view, without being considered “no gentleman.” You may easi ly imagine I didn’t go to the barbecue. t About a week after I was in the village, and ( looking over the papers, I found that seveial re- 1 spectable citizens of their party had taken decided 1 stands as friends of Mr. Van Buren; they stood ( pledged to support him, as well at the great meet- , ing in Milledgeville, as at the one I have just been i relating. A challenge had been made by the Tip- i pocanoe Club, to discuss the question of right, in ! the greatcontest for the fust office in the nation.— 1 It was accepted by the \an Buren men, on condi- , tion that they, “the Harrison men, would withdraw their pledge," and stand before them, the pledged Van Buren men, discuss the merits of their favo rites, be convinced and clothed with the pure rai ment of Van Buronism. What, said I, and do not 1 the Van Buicn men also withdraw their pledge in (he offer for discussion. “Why no, that would be yielding too much,” said a fiiend.

Nailed to the Counter, The followingaffidavits from Gentlemen of the first respectability, which we copy from the Cin- \ cinnati Gazette, nail to the counter, finally and 1 conclusively, the base charge that Gen. Harrison was a Federalist and wore a black cockade in 1300. t [l] Deposition of General James Taylor, of New port, Kentucky, Quarter Master Gener aland r Gen. Hull. I came to Kentucky in the spring of the year 1 1792. In June of that year, I came to visit the j tiacl of land on which I have resided ever since, (opposite to Cincinnati ) As there were no ac- j conunodations to he had on my side of the river, 1 spent several weeks among the officers at Fort " Washington. 1 did not meet Gen. W. H. Har- ( rison, on my first visit, as 1 understood he had ! gone on to Philadelphia. I came again in the spring of 1793, and set tled where I now live, and became acquainted with Gen. Harrison, and from our being from the same State (Virginia,) we contracted an intimate acquaintance, which has continued up to the pre- ) sent time. ( Alter Gen. Harrison retired from the Army he ( was appointed Secretaiy of the Northwestern , Territory. The intimacy still con nued, and wc < were much together, for our residences were with- ( in less than one mile of each other. I know that Gen. Harrison’s political opinion agreed with my own—that of the Jeffersonian School. Gen. Harrison was the Republican candidate to repre sent the Northwestern Territo y as a delegate, 1 and was elected. I understood he was opposed j by all the Federalists. Judge Burnet was then a member of the Territorial Legislature, and al though a warm personal friend of General Har rison, voted against him—this was in the year 1799. , As to the story of the black cockade, I am sure he never wore one except he might be in his military dress on review nays. I have always considered General Har.ison the most military man in the wes ern count .y, and at the period of the late war, doubt if there was his superior in the United States, for he had had great experience under the gallant and experi enced Wayne. I had frequent conversations with our patriotic and distinguished veteran Gov. Shelby in relation to IT opinion of Gen. Harri- . son’s military capacity and management as com- , mandant of the army of the West. I under- , stood him distinctly that he highly approved his conduct and had the most exalted opinion of his bravery, prudence and untiring vigilance; and this appeared to me to be the opinion of all per sons, officers and others, in the W;. tern country, and indeed generally in the East as far as my knowledge extemfeu. I have said one hundred times or more that it was my deliberate opinion i that it we had had General Harrison as our com mander at Detroit, that with that gallant little ar- , my we should have conquered all Upper Canada, , and I know it was the general opinion of all the officers of that army.

Samuel W, Davts, Mayor. ■2] Deposition of Griffin Yfj.ilman , for many years and now Recorder oj Hamilton coun ty. I have resided in Cincinnati from the year 1793, to this lime. I was well, I may say inti mately acquainted with General Harrison, when he was Secretary of the North Western 1 errito ry and when he was elected the Delegate to Con gress in 1799.—At that time I kept an Hotel in the city, and many of the members of the Terri torial legislature boarded with me. I, of course, had a favorable opportunity of hearing their sen timents in relation to the two candidates tor the appointment of delegate. Ido know that Gen. Harrison was selected by the parly who suppor ted the political opinions of Mr. Jefferson on ac count of the coincidence of his opinions with theirs—whilst Arthur St. Clair Jr. Esq. was con sidered the Federal candidate. Ido not at this time recollect the names of all the members; but I perfectly remember that Gen. N. Massie, Angus Langum, Col. Worthington, Dr. Tillin, who were all from Virginia, and of the politics of that State, were the warm supporters of General Harrison on the grounds I have mentioned—and during my whole acquaintance with General Har rison, I never knew him to wear a black cockade, unless when acting in a military capacity, and being part of the uniform that was worn by all military oflicers. If such had been .the case, I must have seen it; as from my intimacy with the General I saw him almost every dav. In corroboration of what I have said, I will men tion the following circumstance: Some lime before the election of Delegate, Capt. of the army, came to Cincinnati; and at a part}' of gentlemen at the house of my next door neigh bor, Major Zcigler, this officer uttered a violent denunciation against the Republican and Demo cratic members of Congress. This was resented by Gen. Harrison, who insisted upon his making an exception of the Virginia Delegation. This was refuse )—violent language ensued, which would have terminated in blows but for (he in terference of the company. By the exertions of mutual Iricnds. die dispute w as settled without recurrence to another mode of settling it which was apprehended. I was not present at this par ty myself; but I had the particulars the next day from Gen. Findley and other gentlemen who were present —and also from the Captain himself, who expressed his regret and said he would apologize to General Hatrison. GRIFFIN YEATMAN. Sworn to and subscribed before me, Tho mas H. Ykatman, Notary Public. July 13, 1840. [3] Deposition of John Matson, Esq. late Associate Judge of the county of Hamilton, one of the most respectable men and most substantial Farmers of the country. I was a resident of the county of Hamilton in the North Western Territory, from the year 1791 until : t became the State of Ohio,and have con tinued to reside in the Township of Miami, in the said county and state from that lime. I be came acquainted with Gen. Wm. H. Harrison, then a Captain in the army, upon his marriage with Ids present wife, the daughter of Judge J. C. Symms, in 1795; in whose family I was then and continued to be upon the most intimate terms; and my acquaintance with Gen. Harrison was continued during the time that he was the Secre tary of the North Western Territory, and when he represented the Teiritory in Congress as the Delegate. I have always considered General Harrison a Democratic Republican of the Jeffer son School. In the year 1799, Gen, Harrison was elected the delegate as the Republican Can didate in opposition to Mr. St. Clair, the son of the Governor, the federal candidate. In that year, I lived a near neighbor to Gen. Harrison, and I solemnly declare that I nev« r saw’ him wear a black cockade or any other cockade after he left the army, or ever heard of his wearing one un less w’hen acting as Governor of the Territory and reviewing or training the militia.

I removed to Cincinnati in the fall of the year 1793, and soon became acquainted with General Wm. H. Harrison. Ho was always considered, during the Presidency of the elder Adams, a Re publican of the Jeffersonian School; and I do not think he has ever abandoned the political sen timents he then imbibed. As to his wearing a black cockade, 1 do not believe he ever did, ex cept on parade. General Harrison was always tree in declaring his sentiments. GEORGE GORDON. July 13, IS4O. The V icksburg Whig, a perfect ‘‘horse” on the Harrison side, thus alludes to a ‘‘figure of speech” lately used in that part of the country : “A man waslately boasting of the speed ofhis horse, and wound up his eulogy by declaring w ith great emphasis, that ‘he could run as fast as a lo coloco could tell lies on General Harrison.’ If he can, he is hard to beat. We’ll go our pile on him at any rate.” From the United States Gazette. Tho Sub-Treasury in Russia. A recent tiaveller (Mr. Robert Bremner) in forms us that the paper money of the Russian government stands so high in public favor, that on reaching Moscow, he found his notes worth seventeen per cent, more than at St. Petersburg!!. “This,” says he, ‘ arises from a defective system of banking, or rather Rom the doubtful state of private credit. There being” he continues, “ho Ban l as in other countries, and little corres pondence among merchants, it becomes necessary for a trader at Moscow, or any part of the pro vinces, who has a payment to make in the capi lol, to buy government paper to the amount of /'s intended remitter, e, there being no other mcc um through which remittances can be mad?. This operation makes bank notes in those places always at a premium, varying according to the amount of payment due at the time.” It iscurious to observe how identical are the measures of the Great Democrat, of the United States, and the Great Despot of Russia. The Despot of Russia requires a large army, that can be recruited only by conscription. So does Mr. V Buen. The conscription of the De po L t ikes all who are too poor to purchase exemption. So tvill that of Mr. Van Buren. The Russian conscription imposes the same, or a greater tax upon the poor man, whose family is dependent for their daily bread upon his daily exertions, as upon the man who rolls in his wed'h. So will that of Mr. Van Buren. The Russian Despot squanders upon wars with the savages, his neighbors, the taxes wrung by sub-treasurers and receivers general, from his impoverished subjects. So does Mr. Van Bu ren. TheDespct of Russia is exceedingly careful in the collection ol statist;, il information, that he may know where to impose taxes f or the main tainancc of wars carried on for the gratification of his own vanity, and of the cupidity of his re tainers. So is Mr. Van Buren. The Despot of Russia requires that cverv man engaged in the public service shall feci to at he is a “hireling, and that devotion to lim-elf can alone secure a continuance of his salary. So does Mr. ran Buren. The Despot ot Russia issues paper monev re- deemable only when presented in „ es.
