Friends of Harrison and Reform. SLEEP NOT ON YOI B POSTS ! After a contest so long-continued—so exciting and exhausting as that which hasjust been brought to a close, it is natural that the public mind should desire for a time at least some tranquillity and re pose. In this desire, it may be readily imagined, I we most sincerely and cordially participate. The ; great object for which we took up arms and ente red the thick of the fight, and dealt the heaviest blows of which we were capable against enemies l who, we know, had nerved themselves for a death i struggle, is accomplished;—the victory is won— the spoilsmen and experimenters have been sen tenced to banishment—and the leader of the tri umph is one whose character and past career at test that the glory of the achievement will be un dimmed by a single excess—and that the victory will Ite used with a justice and moderation wor thy of the best days of the Republic. Gladly, under these circumstances, would we lay down our arms, in the hope that those who have been arrayed against us, would practically carry out in their own conduct, the maxim of the illustri ous Jefferson, whose name they profess to vene rate, and whose precepts they pretend to follow— that “An acquiescence in the decision of the ma- ; jority is the vital principle of republics.” But it is very evident to us, calmly contemplating the course of some of Federal Loco-foco leaders, and considering the tone of their recognized organs, that this patriotic conduct is not to be expected from the defeated party. On the contrary, the mest extensive and skilfully devised arrangements are already on foot for collecting the remnants of their defeated hosts, and for reconstructing out of them a faction, whose resistance to the ad ministration of Gen. Harrison may ever be coun ted upon as united and inflexible ; and whose motto w ill be, henceforth “unceasing and UNCOMPROMISING OPPOSITION.” Look, we entreat our intelligent and reflecting readers, to the tone and temper of the leading or igans of the late dominant, but now overwhel med Federal Loco-foco party !—look at the ar ticles of the Globe, the Richmond Enquirer, and the last impudent circular of that beggar for elemosynary support, Amos Kendall. What do they show 1 Not ouiy that a faction is to be created, which shall give an unprincipled and factious opposition to the measures of the com ing Administration, right or wrong, but that a corps of mercenary scribblers is to be established, who will take care that the b.st measures of those who are to come into power after the fourth of March, shall be misrepresented into faults and those faults exhibited to the public through spec tacles of wonderfully magnifying power. Their hatred to General Harrison, and his lea ding friends, is equal to the detestation which the celebrated Pultency manifested for his opponents in the Ministry, in a letter to his friends Swift— “/ should be sorry they had the merit of doing any thing right." They will labor industrious ly to produce the impression that those who have »o signally overcome them do nothing right, and cannot do good to the ccuntry. For this purpose Kendall, and Blair, and Ritchie, and their allies, and subordinates, and echoes, who have been so long engaged in the wretched but ineffective drudgery of palliating the misdeeds of the pre sent doomed Administration, and assailing the characters of true patriots and honorable states men, will continue to be banded together.— They will endeavor to load the successors of their present patrons, as was said bv Swift of the machinations of the little low partisan scribblers of his own time—“with as much infamy as the most inveterate malice and envy can suggest, or the most stupid ignorance and credulity in thoir underlings can swallow.” We warn our friends at this early period that one of the most busy, industrious, persevering, vigilant, unscrupulous, and dishonest factions that ever lose in any age, or any country, i.s to be organized and stimulated to its utmost power a gainet them by all the inducements which are most powerfully persuasive upon such men as must compose it. Although not a breath may appear now to disturb the deep serene of the pros pects of those who have supported Gen. Harrison — although neither eye nor ear may detect a symptom of any approaching tempest of opposi tion—though the skies may be bright— yet under the horrizon there are masses of thunder-clouds, which have issued from the vexed abyss of Loco Focoism. charged with the elements of destruc tion. 31 his is a fact not to produce distrust of the future—much less the slightest alarm But it should impress upon us all the necessi ty of continuing the system ot organization, un ion and honorable discipline which was pursued with such success during the campaign that has terminated. It should summon up,in us all, the resolution, the wisdom, the energy, and the pru dence which have characterized the opponents of misrule throughout the whole contest. These qualities will bo required again in opposition to enemies implacable as they were once powerful unscrupulous and daring as ever—and desper ate from their present circumstances. Let us then earnesty call upon the Harrrison Reformers throughout the country—those who have ccntriubted to promote the ascendancy of Democratic Republicanism, and wish to see it se cured and perpetuated,— not to sleep on their posts. Let activity, organization, and union, continue to be our motto; aa they were our strength when in opposition ; —and have been the means ot our political salvation. Reformers! Friends of Harrison! To your posts. Be active! Be vigilant! Keep up your organization! The Vice Presidency. Our Legislature is now in session, and will shortly choose electors for the Presidency and the Vice Presidency. In relation to the Presi dency, the vote of South Carolina ought, in -mod faith, to be given to Mr. Van Buren, andT al though it will be but a compliment, under pre sent circumstances, we doubt not that he will get it. But the course of South Carolina in re lation to the Vice Presidency is a matter of some doubt and sonao interest. Col. Johnson; with all his gallantry as a soldier, and amiability as a man, has never been able to commend himself politically to her favor; and no one in the State has ever suggested that he should even receive the compliment of her vote for the Vice Presi dency, The Mercury has named Mr. Tazewell, of Virginia, as a fit recipient of the compliment which our State has to bestow, and may be puzzled on w hom to bestow. But where is the necessity, or even the propriety, of such a pro cedure. Mr. Tazewell is no candidate, and the bestowal of the vote on him will be a mere and an empty compliment. in 1836, Mr. Tyler received the unanimous vote of South Ca rolina for the Vice Presidency—and why should he not receive it again ? Has he done aught since to forfeit the confidence of our State? No I one can allege this—for he has neither changed his position nor his opinions—he was then, as he is now, a candidate for the Vice Presidency on the same ticket with General Harrison for the Presidency. Mr. Tyler i.s a noble and highly gifted son of Virginia; he is a Southern man bv birth, in principle and feeling, and a disciple of the school of State Rights; and our Stale may therefore with perfect consistency and propriety swell by her vote his already triumphant majori j ty. By so doing she will show that she is not j wholly estranged from her sister States, and at ; the same time maintain her self-respect, and pre j serve her ancient character for generosity. In order to help those who doubt to arrive at a right conclusion, we publish this morning, an interest ing letter from Mr. Tyler’s pen.— Charleston j Courier, From the Meir Orleans Bee of the 2oih ’ultimo.

Courier Office, Galveston, / Nov. 19, 1840. 5 Prize A essel.— Yesterday morning, the schr. Anna Maria, a Mexican merchantman, of about ; 90 tons burthen, cama into port under command | of prize master Chas. Fuller, with orders to report 1 the vessel and cargo to the commander ofthena val station as a lawful prize. She was taken on her? voyage from Vera Cruz to Tampico, by the Texian schr. San Antonio, Lieut. A. Moore, | commanding. ‘The cause of this seizure is as | follows: about the 25th of Oct. last, while Com | modore Moore was lying at a little island called Lobez, a severe norther came on. by which a , Mexican brig was driven ashore ana wrecked. The Commodore sent his boats promptly to their assistance, and saved the crew ami passengers 26 in number, and a partol the vessel’s cargo. Some conception may be formed as to the violence of the gale, when it may be formed as to the \ mlence of the gale, when it is stated that ail the anchors of the Commodore’s ship were barely sufficient to keep her from dragging, and also that it look the first boat that he sent the relief of the briir, well manned as she was, from 9 o’clock in the morning until 5 in the evening to reach the wreck. The Commodore sailed for Tampico immediately i and landed the passengers and crew in safety, i Next day, however, being short of water, he sent j one of his boats ashore for the purpose of getting a supply. When the boat had got within reach | of the guns of the fort at Tampico, it was fired upon three several times, the last stiot striking a few yards short of the boat and then glancing | directly over it. The Commodore, very properly, we think, con i ceived this to be an act of indignity and agiress- I ion on the part of Mexico, which called for re taliation.—Hr immediately issued orders to the j .squadron to make seizures of Mexican property | wherever it could be found upon the high seas. The cargo of the wrecked vessel, which he had intended to have landed that day, Consisting of flour and celiee, he (retained as lawful spoil.— It may be mentioned here, also, that Mr. Treat, our agent at Mexico, has abandoned all hope of ; treating with that government, and returned to Vera Cruz, on his way home. A few days after this, the San Antonio parted company with the sloop-of-war, and went on a cruise.—On the 2d instant, in the afternoon, she i came in sight of the above mentioned prize. She | set a flag of the United States as signal, which the Anna Maria answered by running up Mexi can colors. The San Antonio then lowered the U. States color, and fired a gun to bring the Anna Maria to, at the same time running up a Texian ; flag. The schooner immediately lowered her | colors, made all sail and ‘bore away.—The San Antonio gave her another gun, shotted, across her ; stern, when she hove to, and waited for the man- 1 of-war. The San Antonio came along side, and ordered the captain to come on board with his pa pers. On finding from the vessel’s manifest and register that she was Mexican property, he declar ed her a prize, and sent her into port, under prize master Fuller, as stated above. Yesterday evening the cause was brought be fore the Court or Admiralty, Hon. A. B. Shelby presiding, and all the necessary testimony taken; butwe understand the judge has determined to hold the mater under advisement until after his return from the circuit, which will not be until February or March next, when the final decree will be given. In the meantime it is understood that he will be isue a commission this morning, to have t;.e ves sel and cargo appraised and sold as perishable ! property, the schooner being at present in a leaky condition. Her cargo consists of 124 bags of coffee, 297 bags of flour, 21 boxes of dry goods and 2 brls. spirits of turpentine. There Ts i.o question we think, that she is a lawful prize. N. B.—lt is the opinion of Prize Master Ful ler and Midshipman Slaughter, who came up with the prize, that the report of the steam ship Za valia’s having met with an accident on the bar at Tabasco, is without foundation, and that the I Mexican steam ship Argyie, which resembles the 1 Zavalla some what in size and appearance, is pro ; bahly the one that has sustained the injury, it any I vessel has, in that vicinity.

The noise of the opening of the window had I awaked the watchful Lucilla ; she sat up in her I I bed and listened; at last she tomul courage to arise : | and approach the«door of her mistress’s apartment; j she thought she heard whispeiing; again she hes- 1 ! itated, and then, very gently opening the door, 1 found there was no light, and the rush of cool air 1 1 convinced her that a window was unclosed. She I crept along towards it, and just reached ii when I ; Anotonia, having undone the end of the cord and I I thrown it out, was leaning anxiously from the : window, then drawing herself back, she exclaim ed, in a low voice: Thank God ! he is sate !” She proceeded to close the window, and Lucilla took the opportuni ! ty of effecting her return unperceived to‘her own | room. (la the arrival of the usual messenger in the ci ty on the following day at noon, Pietro received a j packet. He flew with the prize to his own sleep ing-room, and on tearing it open, found the ring. I * n . ; than half an iiour, the spy was closeted I | with 5 inccnzo, one oi the council the most inimi j cal toLorezano. 1 At live o’clock the same afternoon, the signora ; Bianca and her niece, having dressed for the eve | ning, after their siesta, had met as usual at their j accustomed scat on the terrace. Antonia was aroused from a reverie by an ex clamation from her aunt; and on looking up, be held advancing along the road, direct to the villa, a carriage and horse-litter, accompanied by a numer ous troop of armed men. The signora gave im mediate orders lor their reception without any j symptoms of fear or suspicion, but the heart of Antonia throbbed and a mortal dread came over j her; even her aunt appeared discomposed pn ob i serving two government officers aud a notary ! descend from the carriage, who were conducted with the military commander and several of the escort, into the presence ol the two ladies ; a few ol the highft classes of the attendants ol the fam ily accompanied them, among whom was Lucilla. After bowing profoundly, one of the civil offi cers addressed tire lady of the house: “It is with the utmost regret, signora, that we fulfil the pain . mi duty imposed on us, of which this (presenting an official document) will apprise you.” The sig cua leceived the paper, but her agitation was too gieat to allow her to peruse it, and she returned > it. Head it, sir, 1 beg—l cannot.” The com missioners proceeded to read, with a clear and loud voice, the order which authorized him aud , lus coadjutors to search the premises of the signora Bianca; to examine herself and her household; to ai rest without examination, the signora Anto nia, and to convey her a prisoner to Venice. i he signoi a Bianca looked at Antonia, and was . suipiised to observe that there was neither aston ishment nor indignation on her countenance; she stood, with downcast eyes, calm and pale. “ This is some base intrigue !” exclaimed the signora, ap proaching her,“ and the truth will soon be evi dent.” Her niece embraced her affectionately, bin without a word ; and taking her long veil from > the seat she had just quitted, she enveloped her seli in it, and bowing her head, said “ I am ■ ready.” f “ My dear, dear mistress !” sobbed out Lucilla. “ where arc they going to take you “ Farewell. I.ur iila ! farewell all of you !” said t Antonia, as she was placed in the litter, which was caret ully shut and the guards drew up around it. The commissioners next proceeded to call over the names of the household from a list they held ; f the terrified Lucilla was then selected from 'the rest and removed into anothci aoaitment. “We de sire that you will detail to us exactly the event that has taken place here within the last twenty i four hours, and that has given you a suspicion of the signora Antonia's oeing in correspondence with her cousin, the traitor, Claude llovani.” “ I know of no event,” replied the trembling Lucilla, “I have no suspicion.” “ Apply the thumb-screws !” “O mercy: I will confess all,” screamed the girl, going down on her knees; and accordingly she detailed exactly what she had heard and seen the preceding night. Her deposition was taken in writing, and siie was desired to load the way to the apartment of her mistress. Here on examina tion behind the anas, was found the sliding panel which Rovani had incautiously left open. A par ty was ordered to explore this secret entry; and another, consisting of a numerous detachment of picked men and horses, was ordered to follow the course of the river, and to pursue the inquiry ac-u ■ lively and carefully in its direction. The guard over the residence was strongly re-inforced, and stricter regulations adopted as to the household, who in fact became prisoners. The commission ers finally returned to the terrace to take formal leave of the signora Bianca, who,from the moment of her nieces departure, had remained motionless in her chiar, with her face buried in hechanus. On the arrival of Lorezano at the Doge’s coun cil that night, he was informed that the conspira tors had been again tracked, and that there was a prisoner for examination, and perhaps for condem nation, before the Council of Ten. The forms of the Government at Venice varied at this time; the Council of Ten was independent of the iDoge, who was only applied to for a casting vote, when the members were equally divided on a question. This terrific tribunal assembled in their secret Hall at midnight; they were seated in a semi-cir cle; a single lamp was suspended immediately in front, darkened on the side towards the councillors, ana throwing its full light on the spot where the prisoner would be plat ed. On the right there was a small table also, w ith a partially shaded lamp, I where sal two scriveners with their writing maten . a!s. At a greater distance on the left, mig. t be oc i casionaliy caught a glimpse of two masked motion ' less figures seated on the ground ; behind them , was the dreaded wheel, ind strange nameless in stniments were scattered round. The size, situa tion, and communication of this hall w ould have appeared to a stranger all undefined in -darkness visible; ’ a column whose height was lost in obscu i rity, or the wave of a dark curtain would catch his eye by the uncertain flickering of the light, and now and then he might see, or imagine he saw a shrouded form moving noiselessly along in the dis tance. A veiled female was conducted in and placed in front of her judge: “A woman !” whispered the president. “ Ves. signor a woman,” repeated Vin cenzo ; ‘remove her veillt was removed, and ■ the young daughter ofjthe aged Lorezano stood before him. There was a movement among the councillors, j | followed by a deep groan. Antonia for a moment | forgot her fears, and thought only of her father; ■ she raised her manacled hand to her eves, ,>nd ’ strove to pierce the gloom ; she struggled to ' rush ! forward, out was prevented by a hitherto invisible j fiame of iron net work. ‘My father she exclaim ed beseechingly—fur a moment there was the still ness «t death, and then the president gave the or der to proceed with the examination. Antonia collected herself: ‘Signors, she said, l there will be no examination requisite toeiict the I t.uth. Give me leave, and 1 wUkcetaii to you all | that has occurred.’ She was ordered to proceed. Antonia related, with clearness, brevity, and ; precision, the scenes that had taken place in the i garden at \ enice, and in her chamber at the resi dence of her aunt. No doubt remained on the mind of her judges that she had told the whole truth, corroborated asit was by every circumstance : and'by every evidence. On the conclusion of her i detail, several questions were put to her by differ- I enl members, and her answers confirmed ttietr im- I piession of her truth. During the whole of this time, Antonia had mix- 1 iously watched for a glimpse of her father, or the I sound ol his voice. She frequently turned an in tense gaze to the spot where the groan had pro ceeded, but she could distinguish nothing. She knew that he \va- in her presence, she felt that he j -ullercd, and not the less acutely, that the agoni i feelings of the parent were sternly repressed j by the duty of the councillor and the resolution of j the patriot. The prisoner was ordered to withdraw. i wo opinions were then proposed to the council ; as to her sentence. The one by the friends of Lo rezano, the other by his enemies. The first party among whom was the President, proposed that j Antonia should be imprisoned until Rovani was j sdized, or hi* death ascertained, anil that then she should be released and pardoned. The second par ty proposed, that, if within thirty days, from the date of the following day, the seizure, surrender, or death of Rovani were not known to have taken’ place, Antonia Lorezano, the abettor of his flight should be pul to death, aud that public notices' s to this effect should be circulated, as well through the neighboring States as those ol Venice; but that i any of those events being proved to the council ! within the allotted period, the culprit should be j released and pardoned. 1 h(‘ votes xv ete taken and the last proposition | prevailed ; there were six in its favor, and four ui- i I eluding the President and Lorezano, against it. ; The prisoner was recalled, aud the sentence so | Icranly pronounced: “That if within thirty days ! the traitor, Claude Rovani were not in the hands of , the government, either by surrender, or if within | that time his death was nut ascertained bevoud a I doubt, the culprit, who hod treasonably assisted in | his e:cape, should be put to death, and that her j death should take place at twelve o’clock on the i j night of the thirtieth day ; but that if thtfseizure, 1 surrender, or demise of Rovani, were known to ’ have occurred in that time, Antonia Lorezano ' should be released and pardoned/’ For an instant a deep glow suffused the brow of the prisoner; she raised her head, and cast her eyes keenly round, as though striving to penetrate the darkness from which issued this mandate ol ' life and death, and then the bright colors as quick- ! ly laded into deadly paleness. She bowed meekly to her invisible judges, and a timid, imploring Manoe was fixed upon the spot where she* believed her lather sat. She joined her manacled hands, and slowly sank upon her knees—but ail remained shrouded and s ill as the grave. Her guards raised her ; she staggered and fell into their anas insert- : sibie, and her light motionless form was borne off between the two armed men, till all disappeared in 1 the distant gloom. i Lorezano returned home, but his most intimate I friends were refused admittance, lie secluded himself altogether iu the solitude of his chamber ; 1 he was sometimes found by his attendants in pray- i or, but not a complaint, a tear, nor even a sigh '■ was observed to escape him. The house was j closed and darkened, as though death were in it; not a sound was heard above a whisper, and the' i servants glided about noiselessly in the perform- I aacc or their several duties. He never made nor caused to be made, tne slightest inquiry concern- I ; ing his daughter or llovani. The Signora Bianca | begged to be permitted to pass these terrible thirty ! days with him, but he refused. Every evening he attended the Doge’s council, and there, as nothing ! had been heard of Rovani, nothing was said con cerning him. To the public business on the i old man gave his attention, but the moment the t council broke up he abruptly disappeared, turning 1 anke Horn friends and ffes. Yet, in spite of the austerity of his grief, none, save his bitterest ene mies, could view him unmoved. From ni<dit to night the change in his appearance was most pal pable and melancholy ; his eyes became dim and features sharp, and his complexion i the firmness ol his step was changed to weakness and tottering, and the stateliness of las : demeanor gave way, as under a sudden load ofi care and infirmity. The Signora, notwithstanding Lorezano’s refu te h ° see . h "I® from llie country, and unknown to nim established herself in his house ; using all her interest, through every channel, in favor of the condemned Antonia, offering all that she was worth tor the apprehension of Rovani.

It is believed that an extensive ap paratus, a healthy moral neighborhood, (the usual J incentives to vice and immorality being effectualU I excluded J, low prices of tuition, and reduced rate* I for boarding, with other advantages, ought to give | this school a higher claim on public patronage than many' others in the State.

Board, including all necessaries, can be had in ihe most respectable families for per month.
