the General in Ohio? tiis replywax, it car ruern aiy serves, “No, I neve; seen him eince I saw him in New Jersey.” A beautiful revelation this truly! It appears that when the base slander was loosely uttered for effect in the commiittee room, its reckless au thor little thought of being called on to swear to it. Being ashamed to retract, and thus confess himself a slanderer, and pressed by his party, he puts the peal to his guilt by positively and delib erately swearing to that which he must l.ave known to be at least doubtful. The affidavit which was published in the Doily on Wednesday swears unqualifiedly to a “ personal acquaintance;” that “he frequently saw him and heard him converse on political matters, and that he knows him to have been a member of the Federal pa ty at that line—has frequently seen him wear the black cockade badge of Federalism attached to his hat,” &c- The explanation above given by the writers of the affidavit, exhibits the nature of this “ person al acquaintance,” and the authority of his reluc tant witness for the confident assertion that he knows him to have been a member of the Federal parly,” &c. It is unfortunate, for the credibility of his memory, too, that he should incautiously have fixed as the time of this “ per sonal acquaintance,” upon the period when Gen. Harrison “ was paying his addresses to a young lady, whom he afterwards married for one of the numerous memoirs ex>ant would have told that Harrison married in Ohio, and not in New Jersey, while stationed at Fort \\ asbington, in the year 1795, during W ashington’s administra tion, three years before “ black cockade Federal ism” was dreamed of—Mr. Price being then, as » we learn, 13 years old! It is impossible that Mr. Priee, himself a citizen of Ohio, can be ig norant of the fact that Gen. Harrison was from the beginning an active member of the old dem ocratic parly —that he was elected to Congress by the Jefferson party in 1799 over Mr. St. Clair, the Federal candidate,—that Mr. Jefferson him self afterwards promoted him in office, and that lodge Burnet, and all the surviving citizens of Ohio who have known him personally and in timately throughout, when called upon, have pub licly declared that he wr,g never a member of the Federal party, and that he never was seen with a black cockade. That Mr. Price should have been persuaded to swear so positively upon the authority of such ju'enile recollections, even sup posing him to be sincere, against the recorded testimony of history and the corroborating evi dence of many living witnesses, betrays at best lamentable infatuation. We may infer from this case the character of the statements that are made in the committee rooms of the Administration, to deceive that class of our fellow-citizens whose confidence they have won by delusive promises, and whose limited opportunities of information peculiarly expose them to deception. Every possible effort should be made to penetrate these secret con claves with the light of truth and history. Gkn. Harrison not too proud to cabby his own thunk. — A friend relates to us the fol lowing anecdote of Gen. Harrison. He says— “l was travelling in company with the General in September, 1836, and at the landing near Fre dericksburg, while the porters were wheeling off the bagago from the steamboat to the stage, of young blades from the springs, Gen. Harrison catching hold of his trunk, threw it over his shoulder, and in the hot sun and dust, carried it near two hundred yards to the stage. Sonic one of us remarked, “why General, have’nt you fa tigued yourself unnecessarily ?” “No,” he an swered, “it is ridiculous fora poor man to throw away a half dollar when he can save it; and I never was ashamed to carry any thing that be longed to me.” Thk Hahrisox Flag ! !—An Indiana gen depian, who arrived here yesterday morning, by 7 the way of Madison, states that as he was com ing through Indiana almost every wagon that he met or passed was bearing a Harrison fiag. He counted, within a short distance hack of Madison, between twenty and thirty of these “land ships,” all of which had flags flying aloft, with the in scription—“ Harrison and Reform.” —Louisville Journal. There’s a blustering loco foco in Louisiana, who offers to make oath, that he was acutally sold under the law of Ohio to a free negro and escaped from his service. Well, we hope the ne gro, now that he knows where his property is, will go and reclaim the chattel. But do the loco foco papers, which talk about the oath of this pretended servant of a negro forget that the bill (which they abuse Gen. H r rison for having supported) to dispose of the services of convicts never became a law in Ohio ? Louisville Journal.

I with Wasiabx Mexico. —The New ’ I iork Express has tbe following paragraph* W ilhin a few days a merchant from St. Louis ? purchased in Boston twenty-five hundred bales I 1 of domestic goods, ebar'ered a vessel, and sent them round Cajre Horn, for California. This • is an enterprize which emanated at Santa Fe, ! and Upper Mexico. The trade of that couu i try has been generally carried on by land, in car avans, through a long list of form id: b.e tribes of ( | Indians, very hazardous and exceedingly difficult. This is the first enterprise of this kind" that has ; ever come to our knowledge, and is worthy ol | much reflection. The distance from St. Louis t) Boston, and from hence round Cape Horn to j ffi® U°ast of California, and from thence to the ■j interior, is a voyage altogether of a most extra ordinary character, —and there are but very few individuals of any country, except Yankees, who would ever undertake an enterprize of the kind. 1 he parties who have undertaken it deserve, and we trust will be amply paid for the labor, hazard and capital engaged. There is, however, a fact connected with this that deserves notice. The goods are purchased in Boston, and we are told that many, very many, ofthe Western merchants nave this year purchased their goods in Boston. Our city has, until this year enjoyed this trade if it should lose any considerable portion of it, it would be a serious loss. Quick Senses of the Ahab.—Their eye sight is peculiarly sharp and keen. Almost be fore I could on the horizon descern more than a moving speck, my guides would detect the stran ger, and distinguish, upon a little nearer approach by his garb and appearance, the tribe to which he belonged. They also possess a quality, shared by several other savage nations, that of tracking by their footsteps, men and animals. In this re spect, indeed, they rival the North American Indians, forthey tell not only the number, time, &•„ when the parly had passed on, but also (so they assert.) their age and tribe.— We/lsted's City of the Caliphs. Athenian Laws Relative to Women. — A wo man could not claim her jointure if she was child less, while her actions and conduct were amenable j to the state, even to Lie most minute details of her private and personal life. The bridal wardrobe of : j females was limited by law to three robes, and a “few ves-els of small value.” A married woman i ! could not on any account,go cut at night, without j a lamp or tor h being carried before her. She could only travel with as much meat and drink as could be purchased with an obolus, and carried in j a small hand basket; nor could an “innocent wo man appear in the street lightly dressed under the penalty oi a thousand drachms.” Whatevar was her fortune, she could not dispose by will of more than the value of a measure of barley. While the laws otherwise facilitated divoice to the husband, they did not require the proof of frailty on the part ol the wife. But if she had a mind to leave her husband, on plea of misconduct, she was compel led to give in a separation bill to the arclion, with I ber name, and not by proxy ;an act always j odious to the free women of Athens who were un- I used to appear in public.— Lady Morgan's Woman and her Master. From the Snag Boat. The history cf the world will show that woman ha; ever been devoted to liberty. During the long war of our own revolution the American matron girded the sword upon her Whig son, and sent him forth to raby beneath the “broad stiipes and bright stars” of liberty—the maidens of ’76 wrought gor geous banners with their ownfair fingers, and pla cing the sacred emblem in the hands of the young and brave, sent them forth to “do or die” in the cause of independence. And now, when the Wnigs of ls4U are marching against a corrupt party whose wickedness and corruption have destroyed that li berty and prosperity which our revolutionary sires fought to attain, our efforts in the good cause are cheered by the approving smile of the worthy descendants of the mothers of ’76. “Then honered be woman ! she beams on our sight “Graceful and fair as a being of light — “Scatters around her, wherever she strays, “Roses of bliss on our thorn-covered ways."

G. Cottino, Washington, Georgia. IN offering a new Journal to the public for pa tronage, it is customary and’proper to set forth in a prospectus, the principles which its conduc tors intend to support, and to give such pledges as to its management that its patrons may not at any future time find themselves deceived or disappoint ed in its course. And first, as to our political creed. Believing that there is at present a crisis in our national af fairs, which requires the hearty and unremitting exertions of every true lover of his country to preserve it from the destruction that menaces it that a powerful and fatal influence is now exerted upon our institutions oy ambitious and unprinci pled politicians; that the Constitution, that safe guard of our libeities, is in danger from their ma chinations, and that the State Rights doctrines and the principles of the revolutionary patriots only, can preserve it inviolate, we shall give our unde viating support to those doctrines. Our motto shall be “Principles and Men;” therefore, of the prominent candidates for the Presidency, now be fore the people, we choose those for our support who we believe will carry out State Right* mea sures, viz: General W ILLIAM HENRY BAR RISON and JOHN TYLER, gen llemeH whom even their enemies allow to be true patriots and hones men. As the title of our journal indicates, we shall devote much of its columns ta the interests of Agriculture. We shall endeavor to- give lo the Planter the latest and best information of the im provements, now almost daily taking place in his business. We are aware that in the strife of party, agriculture, the foundation on which society rests, has been too much neglected by the press, and that some “Reform” is needed in this respect. All the aid in our power shall be given to the cause of literature, and we shall endeavor lo ren der the Gazette as interesting as possible to every class of readers.
