I ©Meeting in Alexandria. —The Alexandria
■ Gazette states that a large and highly respectable
■town meeting was held in that city on Tuesday of
■ jist week, in relation to the late refusal of Con
to charter any Bank within the District of
■Columbia. and m favor of the ret recession of that
■ part of the District to the State of Virginia. The
■ Mayor presided, and a number of spirited resolu-
Btioni were adopted.
I Excellent (Joiter Ore has been found in
Id limestone quarry near Zoar Bridge, in Fair
field coumy, Connecticut.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.
The Reason Why.
Now tei 1 ire, father, why men shout
. So loud tor Harrison ?
In every irowd —in every street
They only speak of one !
5 Xis a long ta!e to tell, my child,
You'll hardly understand
Bad, wicked men are now in power,
A curse o’er all the land.
Now these bad men wc want to send
Back to their homes away,
And that is why you hear us call
For Harrison all day.
But, father dear, is Harrison
Quite certain not to do
As these bad, wicked men have done.
So hated now by you ?
My son, we judge what men will do
* By what they’ve done before,
And every time we find them true
We trust then more and more.
Now this great man whose name you hear
Proclaimed by every one,
Has witlded power almost as great
I ® As many kings have done.
And yet he never swerved a hair
FronoPhonor’s strictest laws ;
He thought it recompense enough
To tight in Freedom’s cause !
And many a time his life he risk'd
Upon the battle lie d,
And iho’ the foe oft pressed him close,
He was known to yield.
So now, my child, you see why men
Do shout for “Freedom’s Son,”
And why they’ll never leave the fight
They nobly have begun,
Till victory’s banner waves supreme ;
Hurrffh for Harrison !

A CARD. —In crossing the Savannah river in
the ferry boat from Hamburg to Augusta,on Satur
day afternoon, May 30, I threw (by permission)
blue broadcloth cloak into the one horse wagon
of an individual, who, with his wife and a small
child, was crossing at the same time. The wife
knew of the fact, for it was to her I addressed
myself. When 1 arrived at the landing, I came off
leaving my cloak, which was carried oil' by r the
individuals alluded to. The lady, if I mistake not,
told me they were moving from South Carolina to
the western part of this State, (Georgia). If any
kind friend could give me the clue to their names,
°i‘ the place to which they were travelling, so that
1 may obtain my valuable cloak, he would confer
a favor upoifone who at times is 100 forgetful for
his own interest. JAMES SEWELL.

TII E REPO RgM E R).
The undersigned propose to publish in Augusta,
Ga. a weekly paper, to be entitled The Reformer,
of extra imperial size, from the 10th of May to
the 10th of November next, for One Dollar in
advance. As its name indicates, it will be devoted
exclusively to the cause of Reform, the elevation
if WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, of Ohio,for
’resident, and JOHN TYhER, of Virginia, for
rice President, and the subversion of the present
Administration, —the necessity of reform in which
s Lei oming every day more and more apparent.—
It will observe a mild, dignified tone, and address
itself to the common sense of every class of citi
zens, for whose bencht it is designed.
Ihis Prospectus is issued under the impression
that the friends of reform will make a united and
zca.ous effort to give the paper a general circula
tion, in short to send it o the house of every man
who reads. The People want light, and if our
friends will aid us in our work, we shall be able to
counteract the thousand calumnies of the Van
Buren presses, and carry he “war into Africa.”—
In the language of a distinguished co-worker, “All
we ask is to be heard by the people. It is for
them we speak, and if we can get a hearing, wc
have no fears of the result,” even in Georgia. —
“ 1 be people will vindicate their wrongs, and hur
tlieir oppressors from office.”
We ask the press throughout this and the ad
joining States, to insert our Prospectus, and we
especially invoke the friends of the cause to be
vigilant in procuring subscribers and forward their
names by mail as early as possible.
The paper will contain nothing but leading mat
ter, being entirely free from all advertisements,
and is placed at so low a price as to bring it within
the means of every man.

’ STOLEN from the subscriber’s stable
■ i Jj£sTxiu Jasper County', on the nighfdf the
i A_ 13th June, a likely roan HORSE, with
; black mane and tail. He is a remarkable looking

: and muscled, extremely broad across the forehead
- between the eyes, has a good neck, and a very long
f foretop and mane, lie paces, but is a natural
; trotter.
i It is highly probable the said horse was taken
- by' a man who loitered about in the settlement
i sometime since, selling a negro that proved to be
i i one lie stole from Marengo county, Alabama. This
f | thief called his name John Garot, is about five feet
' several inches high, about 30 years old, black hair,
- dark complexion, has lost a bit of his right ear,
- round shouldered and has a peculiar walk.

PEDIGREE.
J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows :—“ Tom Tunstall was foaled
mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High
land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare;
the sire of Highland Mary was old PacoleL Tom
Tunstall was sired by' old Pacific, and he by old
Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’
I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as
good a stock as any horse in the United States. —
He was a race horse of the first order, but I lear
will never be able to make a first rate race again,
owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year
, old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har
ndy Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full
pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus :—“ Highland Mary
_ combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough
breds than any mate ever raised in Tennessee. —
She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of
imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by' Sir
Archie; grand-dam Sally'Jones by the imported
horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine,
(son of O’Kelley’s Eclipse, and one of the purest
importations of the last century,) great grand-dam
by the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-grand
dam O’Possum by' imported Shark; great-great
great-grand-dam by'the celebrated American quar
ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great
groal-great-grand-dam by imported I'eamaught;
great-great-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s
old Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mon
key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary
e to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none
it will require a purer or better attested pedegree!—
