See Woodbury's report, 9thDe- comber, 1639. Because, not content with denouncing the banking institutions of the states, he bus attempt ed tn blast the pREniT of Utc states themselves, by holding them up to the, world as unable to pny their bonds iu Europe. See the report of Beualnr Grundy on State Debts, made at Uie late session; utsu the jeauiti- cal statements pnbl'ubedby the late Comptroller Flagg; at Albany. Because, ho approved the most barbarous cor- poreql punishment when applied to the offending sailor or soldier, while at the same time lie re mits the sentence of a court martial against a nav al officer, who has disgraced the country's flag. A remarkable iliustration was lately given. Mr. Van Buren appioved the sentence of a Court -anarfiftt on a sailor who hod riispbeyed orders, and tne culprit actually suffered the penalty (120 lashes) and was discharged the service. With in a few days thereafter, the sentence of another court martial, suspending Commodore Elliott from his rank for four years, and from his and emoluments for two,was submitted to the Bident for his approval. He remits the penally, and the commodore is under puy, as large os life, * with nothing to do for four years. Because, he has been instrument!, in creating nearly four hundred new banks in the Union, and using those in his native state as the instru ments of his ambition. See his annual messages When the wnr against banks commenced in 1833, the whole number of hanks and branches oC the United States was 506; the amount of capital $200,005,- 944. In 1840. Um number of banks and branches 901; capital $358,442,092. Because, taking couusel of the twenty seven European hard-monev DEsror.skz, twenty-two of whom recommended the measure, he .brought -forward his THRLCE REJECTED sub-treasury bill, and literally FORCED it through Con* gresa. ."*S§3 enabledtosRt<r M -wiy«-Van Buren,“that in|K)ftw*TWo Out of the twenty-seven govern- nitfJtB ’ from wtfkh undoubted information w been' obtained, tWpublic moneys have been kept a in charge of public officers."

"Because, while Harrison, at the head of the army of tne west, was fighting for his country a- gainst Proctor ntid his suvage allies, Van Buren was in league with the abettors of iho Hartford Convention, plotting the overdraw of the admin- Miration of Mr. Madison. Bee proceedings of Iho New York legislature, 1812, when Mr. Van Buren was the efficient a- gentof the federalists in giving the votes of that state against Madison and the war. • Because, notwithstanding every administra tion, from Washington down to Jackson, had contributed to tho payment of the national debt; and when Van Buren was elected, the lust dollur had been paid, and there was a large rurplus in the treasury; still, in less than four years, he has • spent all that surplus, and Jouded the people with H uew national debt of more than $20,090,000. in Treasury Notes.

Because, the people feel that under the pro- sent order of things, probity and honor have been expelled from the highest offices, and that the government is in the hands of weak and selfish, or wicked and designing men. See speeches of Calhoun and Pickens, in 1836, before their “coalition" with the present admin istration. Because, he had not the confidence of Jef* person, and was despised for Ills intrigues by Madison, and by Mo.vroe; from neither cf whom did he ever receive an appointment. See tho democratic papers of 1812, for the opinions of the republicans as to the character und conduct of Mr. Van Buren. Because, in his capacity of negotiator, rnstead if nobly defending our territorial rights, he has ncouraged the false pretentions of Great Bri tain, by making the suggestion that a portion of the State of Maine may be bouoht and sold, to end the controversy. See proceedings of congress, and of Maine leg islature, concerning the northeastern boundary question, 1838-9.

Simultaneously with the return of iho proces sion, the battery fired a federal saints of twenty- six guns, after which the piece* were limbered up and proceeded in double quick time to take* their places at the head of the,column. The battery was conunandod by Lieut. Gallic, and was perfectly well served—the'firing was rapid ami at regular intervals. The precision and accuracy which tho {tins were discharged was admirable, and the more surprising as the pieces had not the requisite number of matrasses to serve them. VVe do riot remember to hnve seen any thing of the kind dene in better style. It is stated by good judges, to have been equal to the salute of 100 guna fired on the occasion of La Fayette's visit toSuvnnnah, in April, 1625. The Marshals, Messrs. Bourke, Behn, Herb, J, C. Hurter,aud O. 8. Burroughs, Esqs. de. serve great credit for their happy, snaugonienls, No disorder, no confusion occurred. An autumn sun beamed brightly over the pageantry, and the same patriotic spirit seemed to animate every one present We observed inscribed on the Bunkor Hill Standard, the assurance that Georgia would go for IlarrUuu by a majority of 5G00 voles. Our delegation in Boston made a modest estimate.— We shall go faT beyond that mark, but in the promise will be abundantly redeemed. Upon the whole the celebration was worthy of the occasion which produced it, and it will bo re membered as 4'bright and happy day in the an nals of our cily.

This was surrounded by a neat paling, and in the door way Geueral Ha rrison coujd be seen welcoming to his hum ble abode some old soldiers.

M. according to notice previously given, Monument Square was filled with trueheurted Whigs, anxious to joitiiu the celebration. Owing to the activity of (he mar* shots, all the arrangements were soon complet ed, and the lengthened column, escorted by one hundred and filly gentlemen mounted ou horse- buck, commenced its march proceeded by a hand ofimiMic. which was occasionally relieved by the martial music of drums and fifes. From Mouu- wont Square the procession passedUirnngli Bull Broughton street, thsnet wheeling into Lin- 'ack Ashore, by the author of Ratlin the Reefer. EFhis is a novel ofmorc than ordinary interest ( 01 Bgidering lira position und chur&cter of the personage whom the author bus chosen ns his hero, viz. a common sailor tar'd breeks and all. Kav« very littlo sympathy for that mawkish sort ofsuniimnnt winch of late days has elevated vulgar and gra**, ami even criminal characters, info heroes and saints, and wo think the taste that selects them in the first instance, is greatly ot fault, but wo cannot withhold from the author the praise which he so richiy-merits, of huving really worked up these unpromising materals in to one of the furihi'est stories of lira day. We defy the tfjffrest novelist to ke#p‘ faom twiHting his face into smiles, while perusing the proceedings of Juck^Truepenny ashore ; not withstanding the revolting nature of hie male und female associates—-the (brri)er consisting of Poll and Sue, &c. &c. and the letter of Grim Gile, and Uie other tar’d breeched ‘rowdies from the Glory." Jack’s BridalWacession is a mas* ier pjece of vulgar fun und fajjjc, and the storm ing thereof by the bumboat wo^qii, would not have disgraced the tactics of Wellington himself, ““ ; One's nose will involuntarily curl up at his g mouth rn/very contempt at being forced to Sugh at such things. A single volley of the ma rine oaths of old Capt. Fireirnp would throw a Scotch conventicle into convulsions, and if the reader dont take care they will convulse him after a different fashion. We cannot in good faith recommend this book, for we consider its whole ifcope aqjl tendency de moralising, us well to the taste as the higher send- meats. No one relishes innocent fun arid/rolic more than we jo, but it is an entire mistake to »np- pose that vulgurity and profanity are all necessary ingredients. Look at the exquisite aud quiet hu mour of Jening’s Knickerbocker, and yet it is not defaced bj a single page dial the most chaste virgin need blush at. This nudior lias superior powers in that line, but he lacks die pure and chastened refinement visible even iu the holy-day writings of Washington Irving. The book may be hod at Col. Williams*. PROCEEDINGS OF COUNCIL. Thursday, Oct. 22,1840. Council met*—Present, the Mayor: Aldermen Lewis, Shaffer, Boston, Dillon. Aldermen An derson, Wagner, and Hopkins, appeared arid were sworn into office. The miuutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. The following repoi$ was madeThe Com mittee on Public Sales, have considered the peti tion of E. O'Byrne. By referring to the origin al application, and dto consequo t action ol die Board, it appears that Mr. O'Byrne was to have Lot No. 3, New Franklin Ward, for a term of years, oncomlidon ofhis putting up a brick wall which would effectually preveut die caving of the Blulf. A late resolution designates die north side as tho place for such wall. The present com mittee ere convinced, that a wall on any other side than the north or river side, will never answer. Mr. O’Byrue, however, in his present applica tion, states that he misapprehended tho former committee, and further declares that such a wall as is contemplated, would he ruinous to his con tract. The committee tiierefore recommend timt Mr. O’Byrne be released from his contract. They also recommend that dm City Marshal be directed to advertise die property again, making it a con dition that the person leasing shall build a wall ou the north side of the lot. The following resolution was offered and ac cepted os a substitute, on motion of Aid. Good- wjn: Resolved, That Ed. O’Byrne be permitted to have the lease of land in New Franklin Ward, provided he have erected on tho north side of the said lota good and substantial fence, the whole extent of the north linn of the lot, and that the fence consist of posts 7 by 8 inches to be set in the ground not less than five feet, not to bo more dian six feet apart, post to post; that die boards ico shall not be less thun *2A inch, thick, nnd thaTthe above conditions bo inserted in the body of the lease, with the further conJitinn-*h«kt. Mr. O'Byrne engages to keep tho said fence nl- ^nritys tn good order. Council proceeded to elect a Port Warden, and on counting the votes it appeared that L. W. Ginith, was duly elected. The petition of John Daily was referred to dm Finance Committee. Ou motion of Aid. Anderson, Resolved, Tlmt the owners of all Lota on Bull- street and Drayton-strnet, ns far south as South Broad-strect, and on Bronghtoii-streat, between Drayton nnd Whitakor, and on Bny-street be tween said Drayton nnd Wbitaker-slrScta, be re quired to place a good nnd sufficient pavement or sidewalk, of brick or flag stones of dm dimensions required by the Ordinances of the city, under the superifitendunne of tho officers and Committee prescribed by Ordinance, and that notice be pub lished and given as required by the Ordinance. Amount of accounts passed $70. Council adjourned. 10411 616! 131 10 , 619! 101 From the Baltimore Patriot. Let Croohan Speak!—We have felt it as a reproach to the country, that, by the glaring nnd cold blooded injustice ol political opponents.nny defence, or fiirther evidence, of the bravery of General Harrison, should he nt this late day ren dered necessary. That such defence is necessary indeed, either us a vindication of his character, or a« establishing historic truth, we cannot affirm. For both are too well settled and established to need in reality this vindication. But dm viruW.t attacks which have been mude, by the pensioned organa and agents of dm spoilt party, upon the character of Gen. Hurrison—upon the personal courage of a veteran, who was a victor, in every field—upon a soldier's honor, dearer to him than life itself—such vitiations stabs as these upon one ofour cjuntry's bravest and most successful de fenders, naturally incite dm friends ofthe hero and of truth and justice, to repel them. The at tacks ofthese miscreants cannot injure tho fair fame and high character of Harrtaon; yet cannot the honest part of tho community remain silent in regaruto them. doinetliing the spoilers have attempted in their desperation, oy giving an old, one-sided corros- E omtance between Gen. Harrison and Col. Crog- an—had at a time when there was some misun derstanding between these brave men. The spoilers’luint up dm old r.orrerpondence, and pub- lisn one sue—perhaps rather part oj one side of it, with a forlorn hope of injuring Gen. Harrison, by shewing that Croghan had felt some dissatisfac tion with his report of a battle! Now hear Col onel Uroghan himself speak, and let the Rpoilefs who have cited him as a witness, forever after hold their peace! The St. Louis Bulletin of Oct. 6, contains a copy of a letter odJressed by Colonel Samuel B. Churchill of that city, under dute of Sept. 26, to Colonel G. Croghan,with Col. Croghati's^jreply, under dute of Oct. 6, iu reference to Croghan’s opinion of the skill and bravery of Harrison. In his letter to Croghan, Col. Churchill says:— At TijjpHC.iiiira you were one of lira Aids of Genl. Bcydbuod performed a glorious part in that, as vveii as {n otirar h .rd fought b.iulcs, which have udded to Hio fame and honor of our country.

Harrison show ed want of bravery; and further, if the ground se lected for dm encampment of his troops nt Tip pecanoe wus iujudiciously or improperly cho sen.

The letter of Major General Gaines, alluded to nbove, and which accompanies that of Col. Croghan, in the St. Louis Bulletin, ta too long for insertion to-day. But dm following oxtract from this I nter, one should think, might settle tho Question! In addressing Col. Coroghan under date of Oct. 2,1840, Gen. Gaines says: “In reply to my enquiries respecting Gen. Harrison's plan of operations at Tippecanoe; you replied that the selection ofhis position was the best to be found near dm place of encamp ment, that hin formation oftbe different corps of his army in dm encampment, wns made widi a view to hold every officer and every man ready for action upon tho ground where they slept. That Gen. Harrison’s vigilance had previously been the subject of remark and udiniriftion among the troopi, audit wus that night increased. That you had several opportunities of seoing him in the fore part of the night, and at or near dm timo thu battle commenced. That you saw him fabquemly in die course of battlo, and heard him giving his orders, mid widigreut distinctness animating hU troops—and that no man could have been more collected or fonrlcss in battle than Gen. Hurrison was upon that occusioti.” VVlintmw?, will the spoilers say of Col. Cro- glmn.
