Van Buren .lieu, Look Here !
The Van Buren men are determined not to do
ustice to Gen. Harrison in any matter. They
J s3 y that he received a small appointment from
John Adams, and is, therefore a federalist. There
w erc otner appointment about these times that
be interesting to an enquirer. We add
some ot them, beginning with the one referred
Tuesday, June 27, 1798.
“ Gentlemen of the Senate
I nominate WM. H. HARRISON, Esq. of
Virginia, to be Secretary of the territory northwest
of the River Ohio. JONH ADAMS.
“Gentlemen of the Senate:”
“I nominate GEORGE WASHINGTON,
of Mount Vernon, to be Lieutenat General and
Commander-in-chief of all the armies raised, or
to be raised, in the United Slates.”
JOHN ADAMS.
“ V nlted Slates , July the 2 d, 1798.
From the Executive Journal of the United
States, Senate, page 441
“I nominate WM. H. HARRISON, to be
Governor of Indiana territory, from the 12th dav
Mar next, when his present commission will ex
pire. THOS. JEFFERSON.
And again—
“ I nominate WM. H. HARRISON, of Indi
ana, to be a commissioner to enter into any trea
ty, or treaties which may be necessary, with any
Indian tribes northwest of the Ohio, and within
the territory of the United States, on the subject
of the boundary or lands.
THOS. JEFFERSON.”
The message containing those nominations was
transmitted to the Senate 3d February 1803.
Battle of the Thames—Grand Rally.
The Steubenville Gazette, (Ohio,) proposes, in
order to be lully prepared for the State election

election on the 30lh October, that a GRAND

CY be held at the county seat of each county in
Ohio, on the sth of October, to celebrate the an

full preparation, to adjourn to meet at the ba.lot

OBIT V A K Y .
Lied at Blrdsville, Buike county,on 19th July,
Mrs. Mary Jane, consort of Col, Henry P. Jones.
Death, the cloud that comes to shade.
Comes the blooming flower to fade,
Comes to change life’s scan of light.
Into sorrow’s darkest night;
Comes over human hopes to lower.
Blighting dear affection’s power.
“In the midst of life we are in death,” comes
with its solemn, heavy truth, upon the soul. The
highest joys bear in their train the deepest suffer
ing. Sorrow is man’s only' sure inheritance on
earth. It buds over him in the cradle, attends on
his progress through life, and lies down with him
in the grave. Around this sacred place, we all
meet, and acknowledge in tears the will of Heaven.
He has declared that in his judgments, we shall
read his providence, and that for the want of the
one, we shall not forget the other. The grave,
the open grave, stands ever ready to hide from our
sight the loved ones of earth. The infant seeks
its sleep to save its tenderness the pains which it
has not yet known. The youth lies down in its
repose just as the brightness of the ideal world is
beginning to be- blended with the shades of the
real. Manhood surrenders its pride and stiength,
when the struggles of ambition, and the mortifica
tion of life are corroding the joys of the heart, and
beginning to shut out the soul’s prospect of Heav
en. Age, too, rests there it* weakness, that it may
rise up in second infancy.
But oh ! why does the mother with her endear
ments clustering thick around her home, leave
that home for the grave, where we cannot go. Ask
the little orphan," that cries its sorrow to sleep,
why its mother Ins left it so soon, and its heaving
breast will only give back the half-stifled moan.
Ask the father, as he watches its slumbers, why'
his companion has left her tender pledge, to be
reared in his ruder embrace, but no answer comes
to unsettle the deep gloom of his spirit. Ask those
who have loved, blessed, and watched over her,
why' she is taken from our midst; and all they can
say, is but to make us love the grave. Goodness,
affection, friendship, and all the virtues that endear
one as a mother, wife, relative and friend, could
not save whom death loved too well. But the
voice of mercy' calls to the living form, that dear
form that has so latelv been returned to its kin
dred dust. And say, beloved dead, bast thou ceased
to gaze on him, who pledged to walk with thee
through all the storms of the journey r of life, though
that life was so short ? or to watch over the little
babe, that weeps for its absent mother, but knows
not that she has forever gone. Art thou foigetful
of the anguish of our souls ? Thou didst not muse
our infancy, but th y kindness and gentleness blessed
our later years, and sought to fill the void of a mo
ther’s death ; and therefore we loved the living,
and now mourn the dead, though far from thy
grave, a dweller among strangers, affection lingers
fondly around thy last dwelling place. And
wou-d y-ears bring us together again on earth,
those years, though many, would at the end seem
short. Bui farewell, since thou hast left us forev
er. Mavest thou find
A home that is quiet, and bless’d w'ith repose.
And a love that is always in bloom.
The affection which we bear thee, will long open
a deep fountain of grief, buc may its waters be
turned to the streams of heavenly love. Thy vir
tues, so bright in thy family and among thy friends,
will praise thee on earth, and we trust, bless thee
in Heaven.

is the notice of the sale of the tobacco in the leaf.
The Highest Price this Year .
On Friday last, a hhd of Tobacco, made by Col.
Abraham Lewis, of Pennsylvania county, was sold
by P. & J. W. Dudley, at the high price of Twenty
Dollars, which is the highest price any Tobacco
has sold for. It was pronounced by the best judges,
to be the finest hhd of Tobacco opened here this
year. This Tobacco was purchased by J. W.
Morgan, to be manufactured into his Premium
Brand, expressly for his customers. If they wish
the finest Tobacco they e~er used, they will try
this. Mr. Morgan has presented us with a few
rolls of this Tobacco, which for beauty and supe
rior taste, cannot be surpassed. After the sale,
Col Lewis regaled the merchants and planters- pre
sent, with a cold Collation; a large tub of Hard Ci
der being conspicuous, which was much admired by
both the Democrats and VV higs. aug 4
