During the p.esent canvass the 1 emfocos have set up such high claims to raonJ \ opriety, that tney professed to be absolutely horn ed at the idea that the Harrison .men should do su h violence to the cause of lempciance, as even t allude to the use of Hard Cider. Such were thei. ulmiration for the cause of temperance, that the ai of the clergy was invoked to suppress the demor iizing and in temperate use of hard cider, and ess y upon essay has teemed from the press to arrest the alarming evil. One would naturally support .after seeing these things, from the saint-like dis< pics of Amos Kendall, that nothing certainly coul occur in their ranks that could possibly effect the i mral sense of the best regulated society. If thei be any such, what must be their astonishment w ien they learn that the same party have been so i r lost to that high sense of moral propriety, of wl ich they made such a boast, so regardless of the < stems of the as to desecrate the Sabbath, by furni; imga country public dinner at a race course. And: ich was their determination to have the day spent a revelry and bachanalian tumult. that carriages \v re put in re quisition by the partizans to carry i cn from the city, who weie willing to unite wit them in this disgraceful proceeding, and whose wffrage they might obtain by such a resort. What say you C orporal, to this n< »■ movement of your parly in the.cause of moral ’ If we are not in error, we think you gave out s Jns that your delicately moral nerves were high!. excited, and your fears alarmed, at the injury whit i temperance would sustain by the use of hard citl r. Are you not moved by this measure of your o , r a parly, or are you so scared as to give out no igns of the sensibility of your moral sense.

Harrison men, of Richmond county, to day your country calls, and as patiiots, you must not neglect the summons. You know yourdulies, and knowing should dare go as far as he who goes la I best to perform them. In a word the great Whig party of the Union expects every Georgian this day to do his duly. Let us have the pleasure to record, you have done it. Illegal Voting. For .he information of those who are ignorant | of the penalties they may incur by voting illegally, I we sub oin the law of Georgia on that subject. “ Any and every person, who shall be convic ted of v oting at any election, who shall not have been authorised to do so, in accordance with the I constitution of this State, shall be punished by a line, of not less than S3O, or by imprisonment, f at the discretion of the court, in the common I jail of the county. — Prince's Digest p. 195, I Sec. 9. I If any person shall hereafter vote more than i once at any election which many be held in any I county of this State, or vote out of the county in which he may usually reside, for members of the iegi- lature, or for county officers, such per son shall be indicted fora misdemeanor, and on conviction, shall he punished by imprisonment and labor in the penbentiary, for any time not : less than one year, nor more than two years.— ib. j p. 649, Sec. 29. From the New York Express. Immense Meeting cl Merchants. We have never before seen Wall street quite as much decorated with beauty as it was on this occasion. The stage from which Mr. Webster | spoke was placed at the corner of Wall and Wil liana streets. The crowd of men stood up and I down William and Wall streets, in a dense throng, as far as Mr. Webster’s voice could be heard. Almost every window was crowded with ladies waving their handkerchiefs. The tops of buildings were full of spectators. The shipping presented a beautiful appearance. From the forests of masts for miles in extent, flags of every nation floated to the breeze. The day ; was delightful. This was- a Merchants’ Meeting, and what a contrast an numbers, appearance, and every other thing of importance did it present when set off either with the meagre call of administration men, first published in the Journal ot Commerce, or when assembled on the Exchange. Mr. Webster spoke about two hours and a half. Gen. Harrison’s State rights Opinion. Every day furnishes some proof that the charge of Federalism, preferred by the federal Loco Fo cos against Gen. Harrrison, is a libel, having no other foundation but the mendacious disposition of those who bring it forward. If it is Federal to approve the State Rights Re solutions passed by the Virginia and Kentucky Legislatures, then is Gen. Harrison a Federalist, but not otherwise. On the 30th of December, 1820, General Har rison. as Chairman of a Commilee in the Senate of Ohio, reported the following resolution which was adopted —yeas 29, nays 4—General Harri rison, in the affirmative: Resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, That in respect to the powers of tbe go vernments of the several States that compose the American Union and the powers of the Federal Government, this Generald Assembly do recog nise and approve the doctrines asserted by the Le gislatures of Kentucky and Virginia, in their re solutions of November and December, 1798, and January, 1800, and do consider that theii princi ples have been recognised and adopted by a ma jority of :he Ameriaan Peeple. Maine Election. Letters from Augusta of the 241 h and 25th in stants, in the Boston Atlas of yesterday, state that that there will be 100 whig members in the house. Twenty vacancies are yet to he filled. Locofocoism, says one of the letters, is complete ly prostrate in Maine, and Rcf.l Williams looks as it he had lost every friend in the world. 'The writers express great .astoni-hment at the impu dence of the locofoco papers in claiming the elec tion of Fairfield. The result is clearly ascertain ed. There is not a doubt that Kent is elec ted by the. people, and that the Senate and House are whig. Maine is good for a Harrison major ity at least two thousand in November. “No Changes.” —The last Fayette County (Pa.) Democrat contains a communication sign ed by twenty-one citizens of George .township, in that county, former supporters of Mr. Van Buren; in which they declare that for his many attempts to increase the Executive power, and tor his extravagant expenditures of the public money, they cannot support him any longer; but are resolved to use all honorable means to secure the election of Gen. Wm. Henry Harrison, of Ohio, believing him to be both “honest and capable.” The Democrat ad' J s, by authority , to the foot of this communication of the twenty-one , that there are yet a large number ofVoters in this same township, heretofore supporters ofMr. Van Buren who will give their votes to Gen. Harrison. “O. K.” says the Democrat; and so say we. But yet we hear from the Van Buren papers, that there are “no changes.”— Baltimore Patriot. Receiver Gen. Isaac Hill. —The action, Merrimack County Bank vs. Isaac Hill, was Lied last Tuesday and Wednesday, and resulted in a vercict in favor of the Bantf. Mr. Hill claimed of the Bank in offsett between $9,000 and 510,0. 0—55,260 of which were for his'services as Pension Agent, and of all this sum the jury, nearly every one of whom was a locofoco, allow ed but $795 89. Oh, my country ! what a fall ing off was there! Tnis ao ion has produced a good deal of inter est, and has injured Mr. Hill wonderfully in the estimation of his friends. His costs, too, will amount to nearly all of the $795 89, so that all his labors as Pension Agent while in that Bank will be lost to him.— A'. Hampshire Courie. From Florida.—By the steamboat Gen. Clinch, Csipt. Brooks, arrived yesterday from Black Creek, we have received the following in telligence. A short time since, Lt. Saunders, 2d Dragoons, U. S. A. being on a scout, captured an Indian warior on We Kiwa river. After hearing his story and placing no confidence in it, ordered him to be slio’., which was done, and hung him up as a terror and warning to his party He had about him a portion of the dresses and trinkets of For bes’ theatricals, and cartridges which were taken from a portion of Col. Harney’s command, who were a she rt time since shot at the same place.— Savannah Georgian. A suit for $921 93 cents was decided in favor of the U. S. in the Boston District Court, on Thursday last. The defendant. Mr. Andrews, hid been collector of the port of Ipswich for 30 years previous to 1829 when he was dismissed : from office. The claim set up by him amounted to upwards of S7OOO, for extra services, which was not allowed, and verdict rendered for the full amount of the claim, with interest for four years. The Nestor of the Clergy is no more.— Under this heading the Boston Transcript announ ce s the decease of that eminent divine, Dr. Na thaniel Emmons. He died at Franklin, Mass, oa V\ ednesday last, in the 96th year of his ago. Dr. Emmons was the oldest clergyman probably in Iho United States and was the oldest suiviving graduate of Yale College. 1 From the Madisonian. Hear the Testimony of another Gallant Officer. W'! find in the Commercial Advertiser an elo quent address of the venerable and brave General Solomon Van Rensselaer, the youthful compan ion in arms of General Harrison, and the firm friend of his riper years. It was read to a great gathering of the people in the county of West chester, New York, on Thursday last. General Van Rensselaer’s lungs hating been j erforated wiih a bullet in the battle of Miami, were 100 weak to allow him to speak to a Field Meeting. General Van Corllandt, who was one of the elec tors of Jefferson, p-esided. I It was the day, too—September 24th—the aus picious day on which Major Andre was captured The thrilling revolutionary events of that brave county rose in fresh remembrance. The spot of his capture was not many miles from the log cab in now dedicated to defend those sacred rights secured to us by that early and bloody struggle, j Animated and eloquent speeches were made j by the Hon. Ogden Hoffman and others. Gen- | oral Van Rensselaer bears the following high tes timony to the military and moral worth ol Gen. ■ Harrison : “ I have been the companion, and have been j honored by the friendship of General Harrison from my earliest youth. When sabre and rifle clashed together in deadly fray, I saw him bear ing the orders of Gen. Wayne into the thickest rs the fight—coo!, collected the undismayed. He who dares to call him a coward utters the giealest of falsehoods, and forever covers himself with shame. I here bear witness ta his undaunted bravery, and pronounce that man a knave or a fool who asserts so base and so groundless an un truth. No! Let the Administration pension | its presses, and scatter its treasury notes ; and let it perpetuate its atrocities in what shape it will; ! but let it pause ere it fasten on the reputation of the spotless, or calumniate the favorite of the pco ! P te - It was but a few weeks since I had the pleas ure of being a guest of this great and good man in his cabin at North Bend. I saw him there for | the first time in several y* ars, and found as all his friends have fonnd, the siring of the latch on the outside. No golden cups, or silver plateans, decorated his simple, but generous board. The plenty of an American farmer, not the extrava- j gance of foreign manners, alone, distinguished his hospitality. Hundreds and thousands had visited him the past summer, and none left him without acknowledging the beautiful conformity of his life with his principles, none bade him farewell without feeling assured that they should meet him asatn, not, perhaps, on the banks of tl>c Ohio but Potomac—and there putting in practice those republican doctrines to which the White House has been too long a stranger. “ I found him hard at work on his farm, rising with the earliest dawn, to attend to business and literally earning his bread by the sweat of his brow. Age has scarcely touched him. His fig ure is erect and unbent. His eye, full of fire, bespeaks his energy of purpose, and his whole appearance give the assurance of bis being in the vigor of health and strength. “In conversation he is agreeable, instructive, and kind. When he speaks in public, “convic tion follows his periods.” To extraordinary mer it he adds the utmost modesty, and he. of all oth ers, says the least of bis own achievements. In timate as I am with him, I never heard him otter a sentence, or saw him do an action, onworhly of such a man: and he himself has never sought the distinction which the people are now resolved he shall attain. In short, no one can be with him without feeling deeply the excellency of his char acter, and his fitness for the situation of Presi dent. “I again repeat that he is worthy of his reputa tion, and qualified to discharge in every respect, the important duties about to devolve upon him. My friends, what can I say more to-you on this subject, than to ask whether you will permit one of your earliest and truest friends lo be slandered out of your esteem 1 I know you will not. Progress of Opinion. —The Madisonian of the 30th uit. contains a letter of General John P. Van Ness, formerly Chairman of the Jackson Central Committe, of the district of Columbia, in which he assigns reasons why he tan no longer support the powers that be. Taught by experi ence, he is constrained as a friend of his country and her institutions, to go against the spoils ad ministration, and to range on the side of the peo ple, under the banner of Harrison and Reform. The letter of Mr. Van Ness, a veteran of the old Jackson party, is full of instruction, and ought to be read generally, by his late political associates. To many of them, we doubt not, it would prove a word of truth in season.— Baltimore Patriot. RfOT AND DESTRUCTION PttOPIRTI. The Philadelphia Ledger of the 28 ull. says. The public may not generally be aware that about one and a half miles beyond Giav’s Ferry, near the Bal.imo'e Railroad, workmen have for some time been employed in constructing a very large and commodious building, which was to have been appropriated to the manufacture of bricks by means of steam The house was near ly completed on Friday, when a “house raising,” 1 or, in plain terms, a jollification was had.—A very large number of workmen in surrounding brick yards bee ame dissatisfied at the thought that a machine should be put in operation which threat ened death to their future means of employment. Accordingly, about nine o’clock on Friday even ing, a great number of them assembled and made descent upon the yet unfinished building, which was fired immediately upon their arrival; they then went to work and battered down the walls so as to “make destruction doubly sure” ; having perpefated these acts, they exuhingly retired. The loser for the time being will be the contrac tor. According to the information as handed to us, the contract made between him and the owner set forth that his release from responsibility should not take place until the roof was placed upon the building. The house at the time of its destruction was not roofed. Mr. Taylor, we understand, is the owner. Extract of a letter dated Tepic, f Western Coast of Mexico.J August 4, 1840. It is probable that you have he .rd of some En glishmen and Americans being forcibly sent to San Bias by gea from California ; they are still here prisoners, awaiting an investigation into their conduct by the Mexican Government, which has been delayed by the late revolutionary move ments. Their cause is in the hands of the British and American Ministers, and justice wil! be done them for the sufferings thev have undergone, and which appear to have been inflicted most arbitra rily by the authorities of California without any cause.— Jour. Com Ravages of the Small Pox. —A letter from South America received in Newburyport, states that the Small Pox has desolated the city of Pa nama, the population having been reduced hy it from upwrards of 20,000 to less than one half. Almost every family in the city had suffered by it, and the inhabitants had no knowledge of any means to stay its progress. .The Maine news ‘dorks’ Mr. Ritchie. — The last Enquirer says, “ts is useless to bore our readers with the numerous returns of the Gu bernatorial Election in maineP ou are right, my old friend. Every item of news from the Maine election is a “bore” to your readers.—Summon philosophy to your aid. and bear the bore like a man. But, w’hv don’t you tell your “readers” you are beaten in Maine, eh? They will find it oub you may rely upon it. Pe tersburg Int. Fi r the Chronii le and Hi-nttuel. An International Copy-right Law. Our lack of an international copy-right law has become a crying evil. Ours is the only civ ilized country that condemns its literature to want, neglect anJ beggary, while, like the un natural parent, who, when most it needs her fos tering care, leaves her infant in the streets lo starve and petialr, and prefers hugging to her bosom the lusty brat of another, because she is not nt the expense of feeding and clothing it; we, the American people, let our own authors rot in cold obstruction, and lavish our every ca i rcss on the writers of another hemisphere. [ This may be the policy of skinflints and small ; souls, out as lovers of our country and of that ! which pertains to it—as patriots, and men pos ' sessed of any atom of generosity—it is a stain land reproach on our national escutcheon. Cannot Iwe afford a literature of our own ? Shall we ! forever continue our imbecile dependence upon j British and European presses for our intellectual | culture? We boast of our internal resources, 1 our minerals, meals, clothing, and manufactures | generally, and assert our independence of every : thing beyond our borders ; but we forget that lor 1 the more dilficnlt and exalted office ot providing I for our families, the mental manufactures, the food and raiment of the mind, we are self-aban doned to a reliance, as impolitic as it is implicit, upon parties utterly foreign, and perhaps in imical. In cannot be denied that in doing this, we submit our own minds and the minds of our | children, (the latter so susceptible to impres- j sionsl) to influences, which if they have not done ; them much injury already, it is not because they have not bad the power. Look at the books in the hands of American youth, and you will find them, with a few ex ceptions, all (philosophy, political economy, his ! tory, fiction, etc.,) the writings of foreigners. And are there in these works no views boldly j advanced and ingeniously maintained? No prin -1 ciplcs insidiously broached and as alluringly supported ? No lares sown, tending to engender { indifference to, or dislike of, the republican form of Government? The works of many British and European authors, which we read to the ex i elusion of American books, might be cited to i prove the affirmative, but contenting ourselves ’ i with evidence most covenient at hand, we wi 1 j only mention Maryatt’s “ Diary in America .” In this book the Englishman has ascribed to us, ! as a people, all the imperfections that we have, ; and a great many that w? have not; and with all , the zeal of a prejudiced monarchist, has drawn I innumerable unfair but ingenious deductions a- i | gainst our form of government; deductions which : coming in such a shape, from so fascinating and i i popular a writer, cannot fail to leave very dele- j terinus impressions upon the -minds of inexpe- ! rienced renders on this side of the .-’.tlantic. But so chary are we, as a people, of our sup- ; | port of American literature, that were a hook 1 published, triumphantly rebutting the aspersions i \ made by Marryatt, and being a fair, lucid and in I i every way a useful and meritorious exposition of ; our political economy, it would be suffered to ■ i remain untouched on the hands ot the bookseller, i while the libel itself were passing to some fifth ; or sixth edition ! In relation to this subject, and referring par ticularly to the exertions of Sergeant Talfnurd in Parliament, the New Orleans Picayune, itself a luminary in literature, has the following: “ Mr Talfourd seeks to prevent American pub lishers from seizing on new English works and deriving all the benefit from them, without pay ing the author a sixpence, or any more to the publisher, who bought the work, than the price of a single copy. His cause certainly seems most just, and we, ourselves, have most reason to wish it success, for our authors are more injuied bv this state of things than the English writers are. Here, while we see a tragedy of Talfourd’s, or a poem of Moore's, which drew lo its author thou sands of pounds sterling from managers and pub lishers, printed and sold complete in a newspaper for tw > cents, it is evident our publishers have little inducement lo encourage native authors. How is American literature to flourish, when even the faintest show of fosterage is lacking? Should we not blush lo see Bryant chained down I to the unprofitable labor of a daily paper ?—to see Pray, Hoffman, Willis, scribblers and letter writers for hebdomals?” Under existing circumstances but few Ameri cans are authors professionally, and the best of those are fain lo seek other lands for rewards more adequate to their labors; as was Irving, who was first driven by neglect from his own country, and afterwards rankly abused by it as a i renegade from Americanism, because, forsooth, : he thought proper to remain among foreigners, j who, unlike his own countrymen, appreciated i and justly remunerated his literary labors. The same seems likely to be the case with Fay, Dawes, Hoffman and Pray. En passant, the excellent writer, last named, is encountering the pleasures and pains of authorship, in that multi tudinous wilderness, London. Wc wish him a result to his operations in that immense metropo lis, as glorious as that which attended Irvings; out trust he commences under more favorable aus pices. Judging the man from such of his writ ings as we have seen, we prognosticate /or him a brilliant career, and we shall not fail to observe with pleasing interest the progress of his star to the ascendant. 1 o return from our digression. A remedy, an efficient remedy, as wo sincerely believe, for the evil we have thus briefly and too feebly depre cated, will be found in the passage of the Inter national Copy-right bill proposed by Henry Clay and we cordially unite with hosts of presses in every part of the Union, in calling for some early and decisive action on the subject. We c<m roerul it particularly to the favorable attention ot the Senators of this State, and suggest to them that if they would at once repudiate the charge which has been, and still is frequently preferred against Georgia, of neglect of literature, they cannot do better than try their utmost to make that bill a law. A. L. b. from the Philadelphia Inquirer. A Great Feat. The New \ork Commercial has a letter from Montreal, detailing the particulars of an extraor dinary feat with a steamboat. After alluding to some preliminary particulars, in relation to the construction of a steamboat called the ‘Great Britain,’ the writer stales that the Hon. John Hamilton has for some years been under the im pression that a steamboat might be constructed for the navigation of the St. Lawrence, up those tremendous rapids, called the Long Sault, &c. Those best acquaintanted with this navigation could not be brought lo believe that the obstacles which presented themselves, could he overcome. However, the enterprising gentleman determin ed to make the experiment and a large boat (lar ger than the Burlington, Capt. Sherman’s boat on Lake Champlain) was built under the im mediate inspection of Mr. Hamilton. The boat, and all its machinery, were completed at the dock yard at Niagara, and when launched she was named the Ontario, and is perhaps as fine a mod el as can be found. Unfortunately the machine ry proved to be 100 slight, and when making her first trip from Toronto down the lake, one of her paddle wheels dropped or broke off, and w s ne ver more seen. At the same time one of bet en gines was rendered entirely useless. She after ward made two or three attempts to overcome the raptos, but it was found that the machinery was too slender to accomplish it. She, however, with one wheel, proved that her speed was greater than that of any other boat on these waters. He adds:— It was finally determined to make an attempt to transfer her to the line running between Mou tr al and Quebec. Although this attempt was thought by gome to be a! out as feasi ble as sailing down the falls of Niagara, Mr. Hamilton was willing to risk his splendid vessel. A crew of bold spirits were selected, the most experienced pilots procured —French Canadians for the Long Sauk, and the other rapids to the Cascades, and an Indian, ot the Caughnawaga tribe, to guide her over the Lachine. Previous to making the attempt, Capt. L. Hilliard, the commander of the bout, u well tried V ankee nav igator, who has nad much experience on the St. Lawrence, went down on several rafts of timber, and made all the examinations and preparations which were practicable. On the morning of the 19th of August the boat left Prescott, and in less than nine hours she had passed over all those lapids which are so 1 appalling to the sight, and was safely moored at ■ the wharf in Montreal—as great an exploit as j was ever pc formed by a steamboat of such a class. In conversation with Capt. Hilliard, he S stated to me that atone period his Canadian pilot would gladly have given up the job, and gone on shore—but he behaved nobly. Another indi vidual told me that after the boat had safely made the leap of the Lachine, the Indian who had guid ed her through the passage, threw up his pap and made three astonishing leaps along the deik, inanifesting'the greatest triumph at bis success. I inquired of Capt. Hilliard whether any pre paration had been made for their preservation in case of accident; he said there had not. \ There was no life preserver, nor even an extra plank or spar, as he sea-ed that had any tiling of the kind ; been seen by the crew the “ white feather ’ might ! have been shown. Mr. Hamilton as a token of his regard for Capt. Hilliard, has presented to him an elegant cosily watch, with the following inscription on the inner case:—“Presented to Captain L. Hilliard, by John Hamilton, to com neinorale the safe arrival at Montreal of the steamboat Ontario, from Prescott Upper Canada, 19th August 1840. “ But few persons knew that it was intended to bring the boat uowa the rapids, and the inhabi tants of this city were astonished when they learned the feat which had been performed ; and had the boat passed down to Quebec, instead of remaining in Montreal, many would have not , believed that the voyage had oeen made.” I New Hampshire —The faithful are in (rouble in New Hampshire.

New Crop, the extent of which forms, at this season, so wide a held for calculation and conjec | tine. During the early part of the autumn, it bade lair for a full and saiisiactoiy yield, and ihougn , the sumra r rains had fallen in too great an abun dance. no worse result than a redundant growth was expected, which we had hoped would, under late influences, have confirmed all anticipations, j and given us a harvest bordering in magnitude upon i the last. In this we aie disappointed—the subse i quont destruction by ca erpillar and worm having t een very great in this and the neighboring Slates; while contemplating this reverse, however, it is expedient to b.ar in mind that we have been fa vored since early in September, with the must pro pitious weatner possible for maturing the plant, and harvesting its yield, and that we are, thus fu, exempt from the boisterous weather usually at tendant upon our autumnal equinox, anil so generally mischievous in its effects.
