Messrs. Editors —I bad the pleasure of at
tending a great dinner given to the Hon. Mr.
Black, oh Tuesday last, in the county of Scriven.
at Jacksor.borougb, and also hearing him give an
account of his stewardship, while representing
them in Congress. He gave them a long har
angue in the way of exciting their sympathy to- .
wards him; and it was mly sympathysing for
any rational man to stand by and bear and take
notes of what passed, i must here say something
of the committee who was appointed to wait up
on hts Honor It was made up at the ring lead
ers of the Union party of that county, who, but
a few months back, I beard him denounce as
every thins, calligt|lyp|;loricß, and even thing
but gentlemen, pußiejy and even "aaid iTLa
in fore the people fora public office, and anjfTß
these men voted fur him be would not serve; bum
now how is it with the gr-rttlbrnan’ f saw him
drinking sentiments and cheering under their
banner, and denouncing Jlhe Harrison men in
the same manner, accompanied with all the sar
iasm which is so peculia* to his Honor. For
my own amusement, I asked some of the Union
nen if they had turned to he Black men, and
hey took it as an insult down right; and, of
juurse, if they have not, who hasT I did not
have an opportunity of asking Mr. Black if he
had. and I am satisfied if I had, the insult would
have been personal in his mind; and after all I
could not get my curiosity satisfied.
It was all sorts of a mixed up concern any
how. In the way of proving that fact, after his
Honor. Mr. Black, had concluded his defence, as
he called it, the Chairman of the meeting ex
tended an invitation to any of the opposition
men, if they saw lit or desired and could, as he
thought of course, say any thing that could hold
a candle to what had been said, they then had an
opportunity. They thougl.t that no one in
Striven had bravery enough to dare compete, or
show their faces in the way of contending with
Mr. Black, nridhim, too, just from Congress. But
1 am prnuu to tell you they were foiled in their
sanguinary expectations. Mr. C. W. Young,
horn ami raised in old Scriven, promptly accept
ed the offer, and it would have done every citizen
of old Scriven, who was not running over with
prejudice, good to bear him contend with the
monstrous denunciations, and confuting the cal
umnies that were heaped upon old Tip. And
what pleased me, the cider was too strong, they
could not stand it; and when Mr. Young had ar
rived at their strong hold, and was about to blow
up the fortification, the Chairman stopped him,
and it had a most disastrous effect in the ranks,
and will, no doubt, eventuate in securing old
Scriven for Harrison and Reform.

Van Hnren Men, Look Here!
The Van Buren men are determined not to do
justice to Gen. Harrison in any matter. They
sav that he received a small appointment from
John Adams, and is, therefore a federalist. There
wi re otner appointment about these times that
might he interesting to an enquirer. We add
some of them, beginning vrtlH the one referred
to.

Another Affidavit Maker.
It appears by the Buffalo Commercial Adver
tiser,of Wednesday, that Mr. Robert Price, ot
Ohio, made his affidavit claiming "a personal
acquaintance” with Gen. Harrison, and setting
forth that -he has frequently seen him wear
the black cockade badge of Federalism/* at
the time when *• the Federal parly wore it as
the badge of distinction,” in that city—Having
asserted the groundless calumny in a speech at
a loco foco meeting, while on his way from Ohio
In tins State, the editor ot the Van Buren organ |
in Huff Jo, (die Republican) called on him after
the adjournment to make au affidavit, for publica
tion. Tiie affidavit was made and published,
and its absurdities were promptly exposed by
the Advertiser. This drew forth a reply fiom
t/'.-.-iriv .vgan in Ajpljt U lin'ortuoalely
for a-: witness, reveals the fallowing history of
the affidavit:
After nearing th-Judge make a plain farmer’s
speech at our meeting one Saturday evening, we
accompanied him to the American Hotel, and
asked him if he could make affidavit of what he
had related at the meeting. He replied that he
would do so freely ; and we drew up an affidavit
and went in pursuit of Judge Stephens to admin
ister the necc.-s try qualification. We searched
for the Judge without finding him, till Judge
Price could wait no longer, for he had put up
about two miles out of town. —We asked him if
he would execute the affidavit in the morning.
He replied that he would if we came ealy. Ac
cording in the morning wo prevailed w ith Judge
Stevens to accompany us and went to Judge
Price’s lodgings, an.l he readily did as ho prom
ised. In hawing up the affidavit, we had said
that ihe deponent was intimately acquainted with
Gen. Harrison. This he objected to. saying that
he never had had any intimate acquaintance with
him. We then altered it to “ personally acquain
ted,” he also objected to this, saying that he only
knew him by sight; he himself being a lad of
la or 1G years old and Harrison a'man. We
explained that if he knew him by sight he knew
his person, and knowing his person constituted
personal acquaintance. He was satisfied with this
explanation and affirmed to and signed fhe.affi
davit; dated on Saturday, when we drew it.
M e asked Judge Price to name the year, but he
said he could not at that time remember which
year it was, but could find out when ha got to
Newton, Sussex County, N. J„ for it was there
that he saw him ; and that he saw him frequent
ly there, as he was paying his addresses to a
young lady whom he afterward married. W c
asked him if he was ever acquainted with the
the General in Ohio I his reply was, if our mem
ory serves, “No, I never seen him since I saw
him in New Jersey,”
A beautiful revelation this truly 1 It appears
that when the base slander was loosely uttered
for effect in the committtee room, its reckless au
thor little thought of being called on to swear to
it. Being ashamed to retract, and thus conless
himself a slanderer, and pressed by his party, he
puls the seal to his guilt by positively and delib
erately swearing to that which he must have
known to lie at least doubtful. The affidavit which
was published in the Daily on Wednesday swears
Unqualifiedly to a “ personal acquaintance;”
“ he frequently saw him and heard him converse
on political matters, and that he knows him to
have been a member of the Federal party at that
time—has frequently seen him wear the black
cockade badge of Federalism attached to his hat,”
&c.
i he explanation above given by the writers of
the afli lavit, exhibits the nature nf 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
Feileral party,” &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 extant would have told
that Harrison married in Ohio, and not in New
Jersey, white stationed at Fort Washington, in
the year 1795, during Washington’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. Price, 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 party—that he waselected 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

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 ?

Gen. James Miller, the veteran hero of Bridge
water, slates in a recent letter to Mr. Webster,
that he has witnessed with regiet the attacks of
the Administration press upon Gen. Harrison’s
private worth and military fame, and he feels free
to declare, of his own knowledge, after following
Gen. Harrison tlirugh all his civil and military
career, after living with him in his family more
than six months, that Gen. William Henry Har
rison is us free from stain or blemish, ae it falls
to the lot of man to be.
Keep it Before the People.
That Martin Van Buren, in the Convention to
amend the Constitution of New York, made a
speech in favor of a property qualification, and
urged in justification of excluding Revolutionary
‘Soldiers Irom the right of suffrage, that it made
no difference how unjust it might appear, as to
the old veterans who would all be dead in the
course of fifteen years.
KEEP IT DEPOSE THE PEOPLE,
That the whole of the 27 foreign monarchies
from whom Mi. Van Buren asks direction how
he shall administer the affairs o; the repuolic, ap
prove ol his principles and would rejoice mould
lie succeed in reducing the people of the anly
free nation on earth to a level with their own obe
dient and degraded subjects.
KEEP IT BEFOHE THE PEOPLE,
That Mr. Van Buren has confessed, in his last
annual message, that twenty-two of the despotic
Kings and Empeiors of Europe approved fully
of the Sub-Treasury scheme, by which three
lourths of the people’s earning will be transfer
red to the pockets of the office holders.
KEEP IT BEFOHE THE PEOPLE,
That Martin Van Buren is at this moment, to all
intents and purposes, a Monarch, wailing only
the power to prevent the people from expressing
their disapprobation of his inquisitorial designs.
KEEP IT BEFORE TIIE PEOPLE,
That he is now exerting his energiis to obtain
| this power by creating a standing army of two
I HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN, to lie Used for tllC
purpose nf pulling down “ combinations or in
other words, '•conventions," of the people, there
by violating the Curfktnution, which guarantees
to all citizens the right peaceably to assemble
and take measures to have their grievances re
dressed.
KEEP IT BEFOHE THE PEOPLE,
That the whole policy of Mr. Van Buren’s ad
ministration is at war with their best interests,
and destructive of their nominal prosperity. Let
it lie known throughout the length and breadth
of the land, that a crusade is now going on
against the rights of the workingman, whose
wages arc to be reduced to TEN cell.s a day.
Spread it from East to West, from North to
South, thedecree has gone forth thata sheep's
head and pluck is a sufficient reward for a day
lof hard toil. Let every dweller in the “Log Ra
bins” of the country knuw the fact, that a Loco
Foco Congressman has declared the 'hard fisted’
laborers of America can, and should, subsist
without meat, and that potato soup, onions and
garlic, are good enough for the men who, in the
estimation of Martin Van Buren, James Bucha
nan, Thomas H. Benton, and Senator Walker,
arc only lit to be placed on a level with the serfs
of Russia, or the black slaves of the West India
Islands.
KEEP IT BEFOHE THE PEOPLE,
That Gen. William Henht Harrison will be
the President on the 4th of March next, and will
rectify ail the evils under which the country suf
fers, and restore the Government to the pure De
mocratic principles of Jefferson and Madison.
Prospects in Ohio.
The Editor of the Cincinnati Gazette says
thal, having hud recent opportunity, during at
tendance upon the sitting of the Supreme Court
at Columbus, to collect information from and
compare notes with gentlemen from ail parts of
the Stale, the result is “a firm, well-grounded
conviction that Ohio will elect Mr. Corwin
(for Governor) by atls isf 15,000 majority,and
curry the Harrison electoral ticket by a still
larger majority. This result (says the Gazette)
appears to us inevitable. In 18?6, Ohio gave
201,333 votes, of which HarUon obtained a ma
jority over Van Buren of 8,501 votes. Since
that time numerous changes are known to have
taken place against the Administiation, and
change is still going forward. The Whigs are
now united and active—the People are alarmed
and roused. The oldest among us have never
before witnessed so much zeal, activity, or deter
mination. Ohio will probably give 240,000
votes, and of these, we think, our friends may
count upon 125,000 for Harrison.”

History vs. Tory Slang.
“ On the Niagara frontier there was much hard
fighting, but every campaign opened under a
new general, and sometimes before ita close that
general was superceded. After the fall of Gen.
Pike, the war was cairied on without any settled
plan, and ended without accomplishing any one
of ils objects. It served, however, to afford op
portunity to a number of officers to distinguish
themselves for their military talents and intrepidi
ty ; among these, Generals Brown, Scott, Jessup,
Miller, Ripley and Towson, are deservedly emi
nent. To the North-west our military affairs
were conducted on a systematic plan, and under
\ a commander who was completely successful in
• what he undertook. In the South the war was
< also confided to a single individual, who was
found abundantly competent ta the duties as
r signed him. HARRISON and Jackson, there
| fore, are the only persons who can be eaid to
have conducted an entire plan of operation to a
successful issue, and their names are decidedly
the most conspicuous in the history of ihe war.-

Within a few days a merchant from St. Louis

My last hope of success, dear Amoq, with thee;
For unless with deep cunning some 9,heme you
devise.
My Kinderhook Star has set, never to rise.”
The sanctified Amos was thoughtful awhile,
And his face wore the marks of low cunning and
guile;
At length he exclaimed, “I have hit on a plan.
Which may tend to sustain you, dear President
Van.
I’ll pretend I am sick.
But ’tis only a trick.
You know at deception, dear Van, I am quick;
So the Postmaster Generalship I’ll resign—
Let the task of defending your sceptre be mine.
An Extra Globe of Immoderate size.
I’ll edit, and cram it with falsehoods and lies:
I’ll assert that the Hero of Tippecanoe
Is a coward, and rank abolitionist too.
Your subsidized press,
Will reprint this, I guess,
(Though the charges to some may seem strange, 1
confess.)
Also Whig immorality I shall condemn,
And charge all our sins, my dear Van, upon them,
My friends, the Postmasters, will lend roe their aid
And all office-holders will join the tMjtrkdc;
With my Extra’s, they’ll Hood all the land, I as
sure ye,
From Maine, to the far-dktant plains of IWtssooii.’
Then President Van
Declared that the plan
Was worthy the head and the heart of the man.
1 Thus Amos quit office and took to his pen,
: To depict as an Eagle the Kinderbqgk_Wren.

OBITUAEY
Died at Rirdsville, Burke county, on 19th July,
Mrs. Mart Jane, consort of Col. Henby 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 j
* Comes over human hopes to lower,
( Blighting dear affection’s power.
t “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
t 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 bis judgment., 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
6 sight the loved ones of earth. The infant seeks
r its sleep to save its tenderness the pains which it
e 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 strength,
- when the struggles of ambition, and the mortifica
tion of life are corroding tne joys of the heart, and
n beginning to shut out the soul’s prospect of Ueav
. cn. Age, too, rests there its weakness, that it may
j rise up m second infancy.
_ But oh ! why does the mother with her endear
meats clustering thick, around her home, leave
J that home for the grave, where we cannot go. Ask
? the little orphan,* tfiat sties its sorrow to sleep,
i* why its mother has left it so soon, and its heaving
a breast will only give back the half-stifled moan.
Ask live father, as he watcheS its slumbers, why
0 his companion has left her tender pledge,Mo be
reared in his ruder embrace, hut no answer comes
s to unsettle the deep gloom of his spirit. Ask those
who have loved, blessed, and watched over her,
wiry she is taken from, our midst; and all they can
e say, is tut to make us love the grave. Goodness,
i- affection, friendship, and all the virtues that endear
e one as a mother, wife, relative and friend, could
t- not save whom 'death loved too well. But the
voice of mercy calls to the living form, that dear
form that has so lately been returned to its kin
r dred dust. And say, beloved dead, hast thou ceased
|. to gaze on him, who pledged to walk with thee
through all the storms of the journey of life, though
“ that life was so short ? or to watch over the little
L * babe, that weeps for its absent mother, but knows
■- not that she has forever gone. Art thou forgetful
IT of the anguish of our souls > Thou didst not muse
i£ our infancy, but thy kindness aad gentleness blessed
n our later years, and sought to fill the void of a mo
-8 thcr’s death ; and therefore we loved the living,
ij and now mourn the dead, though far from thy
grave, a dweller among strangers, affection Ungers
e fondly around thy last dwelling place. And_
l " would years bring us together again on earth,
i- those years, though many, would at the end seem
v short. But farewell, since thou hast left us forev
| er. Mayest thou find
i- A home that is quiet, and bless’d with repose.
And a love that is always in bloom.
The affection which we bear thee, will long open
a deep fountain of grief, but may its waters be
" turned to the streams of heavenly love Thy vir
f tues, so bright in thy family and among thy friends,
i- will praise thee on earth, aud we trust, bless thee
e in Heaven.

and Soap c reek, of which a part is first rate river
Ad creek low grounds. There are three hundred
and fifty acies ot it cleared, the balance in woods,
consisting of oak, hickory, poplar and warl.oo
The cleared land is under a good fence. Its pro
duction cannot be surpassed by any lands in the
up country. The improvements consist of a con
venient and comfortable. Dwelling, besides Gin
House, Screw, all new, and all other houses neces
sary for a country residence and farm. The dwell
ing is located on an elevated situation, and re
markably healthy, with springs of the purest water
scattered throughout the piemises. T here is also
on the premises, one of the best sites for a mill or
mills or factory there is in the up country, and its
contiguity to the river will make it more valuable.
As the purchaser would wish to examine the pre
mises previous to making the purchase, it would
be needless for me to give any farther description
of the premises.
I also offer a tract of land containing 5 or 600
acres, in South Carolina, in Edgefield district, im
