Yesterday, byway of ill lists ation, he gave us a most happy specimen of the chaste character of his language, in the follow ing strain : “If 3 and intakes 6, 6 and S makes 12,” Verily, the Corporal’s language is the result of his associations. All Hail Old Salisbury. Byway of showing our readers that old Rip has aroused from his slumbers, we lay before them the thrilling account of the celebration of the 4th at Salisbury, which we doubt not will be read with interest bye very friend of Reform in Georgia. From numeious letters addressed to the Committee, we have selected that of the Hon. . C. Preston, of S. C., to which we take great pleasure in inviting the attention of our readers. Like every thing which emanates from the mind of that distinguished Carolinian, it is replele with sound practical views, and breathes throughout the purest and most devoted patriotism. Louisiana JFlection. The New Orleans Bee oi the 16th says :—“ We believe it is almost conceded that John Moore, Whig, is elected from the third Congressional dis trict. The parishes of Union, Caldwell, and Oua chita, which were heard from yesterday, gave Winn 126 majority, and still leave Moore ahead 191 votes. The returns from Caldwell include the whole parish, for we have in our possession a letter from the Parish Judge, containing statements to that effect. There remains Caddo and Claiborne S© be heard from. In the first of these parishes, there is every reason to believe that the W hig ticket, has received a small majority. We have spoken with a gentleman who voted in Caddo, and was present at several precincts. His deliberate opinion is, that the parish has given us from 25 to 50 majority. Add to this testimony that of the letter from Shreveport, published in Tuesday’s paper, and the inference is clear that the election has been very close, or that the Whigs have car ried the parish. Claiborne will no doubt give a Locofoco majority of perhaps 50 votes. We can, therefore, form no other conclusion than that Moore has beaten Winn 100 to 150 votes. A friend of ours read a letter from Mr. Winn himself, to a client in this city, to which a post er ipt was appended, stating that he considered himself defeated by about 150 rotes. \\ e picsume his own word is pretty goed evidence in the matter. New-Jerscy Election Cose. The report of the majority of the Committee on Elections, declaring the Locofoco members eniillcd to their seats, has been adopted by the House without hearing the testimony read, which ihe Committee had received. More anon. The editors of the St. Louis Republican says, there can now be no doubt of the truth of the re port, that one of the Directors of the Bank of Mis souri has over-drawn about $6,000, and that $23 000 in gold has been abstacted ironr a keg containing SIOO,OOO. Coming over in Squadrons. We hare been gravely told there are no changes West against Van Curcn. The Cincinnati Gazette relates a striking instance : At Cadiz, each party had a celebration. Mr. Levi Wallernoe, pul in the Van Buren commit tee appeared on the ground and began to unroll a banner in his hand. What was the consterna- NOTTINGHAM LIST I 1 CAN DO THA I WORK NO MOKE !!” . He then commenced speaking in explanation of his new position. As soon as he had finished .peaking, SIXTY MEN cure himself at the head of this band of regen.r ales the whole turned then backs upon then late "eocenes, «,d marched in «W cotorn over to the Whig meeting, where they were re ccived with open arms. j According to the New York Journal of Com merce, the account which first appeared in the New Oilcans Bulletin and has since been copied into other papers, of an attack by Indians on the steamboat Irwinton, is said to have been a foolish frolic, got up to frighten one of the passengcra. The sale of a scandalous paper published in Richmond, was stopped on Saturday, by the pro per authorities. — Philadelphia paper. Was it the Enquirer? From the Columbus Enquirer. In looking over an address to the people ot Georgia, adopted and pul forth by the Convention which assembled in Milledgeville in 1836. to form the White Electoral Ticket, I find the following graphic and pithy portrait. In speaking of Mr, Van Buren, the address delineates his character thus: “A man having no kindred feeling for the south or its peculiar institutions. A stranger a likc to our habits, our feelings, and our interests —distinguished for no extraordinary public vir tue or services—unknown as a Statesman, and unconnected with any of the great events of our National History,save only when battling against us. “If we advert to ihe political history of this man we shall find nothing to approve , but every thing to condemn .” To the address containing the above charcoal sketch, I find, the name of Col. Henry G. La mar subscribed as President of the Covention. Who Col. Henry G. Lamar is and where he is now to be found, the public is informed. I find also subscribed to this address one H. A. Har alson—Can this be our quondam worthy friend Gen. Hugh A. Haralson, of ihe county ot Troup, the “ Tenth Legion ” ot the State 1 I also find subscribed to the aforesaid address the name of one Wm. B. Pryor—Can this he the same hon orable gentleman, who lately figured in a Van Buren meeting, in the noble and patrio.ic coun ty of Harris ] I pause for a reply . Vahiio. The Apalachicola Gazette presents the follow ing accurate picture of the present stale of our political affairs to his readers : “ What a spectacle do the United States pre sent to the world. After 20 years of peace and prosperity, with but one little cloud or speck of war in Florida.—Free from National debt, with a treasury overflowing with millions, commerce flourishing, and prosperity blessing our empire every where; behold as if by magic in a few short years calamity and ruin arc spreading over our land, trade is broken up, produce reduced so that it will not pay for the labor that made it. Our National Treasury bankrupt, and the mighty en ergies of a mighty nation paralyzed. It is time to change our rulers, we have tried too long, politi cians by trade, let us try a western farmer, of plain sound sense, of known and tried honesty and patriotism.— We cannot be worsted by any change, we must therefore be bettered.” Insolvent Debtors of the U. States. — The Act of 1831 for the relief of certain insolvent debtors of the U. States, and the Acts additional thereto, are continued in force for three vears from the 27th of May last, and are made applica ble to the cases of insolvency which have occur red since the date of said Act,or which may occur prior to the 27th May, 1843. That the Atlanticand Pacific oceans will soon be connected by a ship canal, across the isthmus of Panama, now seems certain. An enterprising company in Paris, after taking the necessary pre liminary steps, has sent out a ship freighted with engineers, laborers, tools, etc., and it has probably by this time arrived at the mouth of the Cha gres, ready to commence active operations. The Evening Signal remarks, that there are now about 9000 persons per annum, on an average, passing and repassing in connexion with the western parts of South America. It must be evident that the number must be greatly increased when the time of transit shall be reduced more than one-half, and the expenses correspondently reduced. Wc learn from an officer of the army who has been for some time stationed in the West, that sev eral years ago General Harrison paid out of his own private resources all the expenses of educa ting thirty orphans, the children of soldiers who had served under him. This splendid instance of Harrison’s well known liberality, we have never seen mentioned in print. Our informant’s state ment, however, we entirely rely upon, but forbear at his own request to publish his name, as he does not wish to be troubled with a citation before a Court Martial, as were Major Lcndrum and Capt. Dusonberry, recently in Baltimore, on suspicion of doubting the immaculate nature of the present fed eral executive. —National Gazette. From the Salisbury, (N. C-J Watchman. The Ball in Motion! ! ! —‘ 6 Great Turn Out.” In obedience to the call of the Salisbury Tip pecanoe Club, there came up to this Town on Saturday, 4lh inst., the most immense crowd ol people that ever was congregated in North Caro lina. Twelve thousand is the number offi cially reported by Col. Alexander Halshouser, the Grand Marshal of the day. The procession formed at the race ground, and marched through in platoons of eight to the Factory grove, one mile and a quarter distant. We faulter at the very idea of attempting a general description ol this glorious day. Banners waved: Trumpets sounded: The cannon spoke forth—musketry responded—Ladies waved their white handker chiefs from the windows. The procession drop pe 1 their flags ; or presented arms ; or took ofl their hats and cheered each bright and beautiful throng as they passed it. And here let us declare that we saw more beautiful faces on that occa sion than ever vve saw in one crowd before : We heard many gentlemen who have seen much ot the world, declare the same. Guilford, Iredell, Cabarrus, Davidson, and Da vie, with oar own County came up in force. Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Wilkes, Anson, Mont gomery, Randolph and Surry, turned out hand somely : Stokes, Rockingham, Richmond and many others from parts unknown were present ; all in the faith and buoyant with hope. The day was cool and pleasant, and the arrange ments all judicious and well executed. We shall give below a more minute description of the procession and the devices. A most efficient and powerful speech was delivered at length by the Hon. Abram Renchcr. Another short but most excellent matter of fact address was pro nounced by Rev, John Culpepper, from Anson County. This gentleman was in Congress with Gen. Harrison in 1819, -’2O, and was intimately acquainted with him. He bore witness to the high character of his intellect —to his sound and patriotic principles; and especially on the subject of Abolition. He gave many incidents and famil iar facts, going to show the simplicity and frugal ity of the government in that day, and presented a most powerful cantrast in the extravagance ol our present rulers. —After speaking in this strong practical way for some time, he came to the ob jection of General Harrison’s age; and stated among other things that he (Gen. Harrison) just lacked 39 days of being eight years younger than (himselt) John Culpepper. Here was such a palpable illustration ot the licentiousness of this objection, that the whole immense crowd burst out into loud cheerings.—“ He’s no fool,”—“He’s no granny,” we can all see—was reiterated by a thousand voices, ihe old man stopped and pau sed for a moment, seemingly much struck with this rude compliment and then added, “100 l ornc fool, I would he willing to stake all my earthly hopes upon this issue, that I could take Henry Clay, Daniel Webster and Win. C. Preston, and with their assistance form a Cabinet that would manage the affairs ol this nation a great dcai bet - ter than they have been managed for the last ten 3 years.” General Edney from Lincolnton made a most animated and soul stirring appeal, which was b most rapturously applauded. ! Col. D. M. Barringer delivered a short hut ve ry sensible and elegant speech, which was receiv ed with great applause. Ths speaking was concluded by a masterly ef ] fort from Mr. Hoyden, of Surry, in his own very strong and peculiar style. He exposed and lash ed the abuses of (be administration with greatsc verily. His speech abounded with sol;d sense, highly garnished with wit and sarcasm. Mr. Hamilton Jones of this Town exhibited 1 the flag of the Petersburg Volunteer Company, 1 which was in (ho Battle of Fort Meigs. This 1 incident with a few remarks of Mr. Jones in ex ’ planation, had a very powerful effect upon the ’ audience. They chccied and applauded him 1 with great enthusiasm. We have only time to add that the solid com forts of the table came in well, and were well re ceived. Wc had more people than we anticipa ted, hut we had enough for all. Never was there a more orderly, agreeable, and beautiful sight, and never did people seem to enjoy themselves more. On Friday night the greater part ol the dele f gallons had arrived, and many were the patriot ic song and the merry joke that went the rounds, on that night at the encampments. On the next night, the same ball w'as still in motion : Thou sands were assembled at the Guilford encamp ’ ment; Gen. Edney addressed them in the most ! masterly way. Mr. Jones of this Town, and Mr. Young of Iredell, were also called on for speech ! cs, which w r ere received with most rapturous ap plause. Tippecanoe songs were called for, and ’ several very significant jokes were told from the rostrum with tremendous effect: Speech and song and joke were responded to by shouts of ap plause, and by the cannons roar. In a word, the 1 night was surpassed by nothing but the day. This was kept up until near midnight, hut when the last stroke of the town clock died away, 44 a1l ices hushed.” It was now the Sabbath, and the same spirit that stirred them to come hither, prompted them to respect that holy institution. On the next day by public appointment, several hundred of the visiters, with our Town’s people, . repaired to the stand again and listened to a most . excellent patriotic sermon from the Kev, Mr. Ran kin. In the afternoon the Rev, Mr. McDonald 1 delivered a very appropriate and evangelical dis ' course: But there was no party-ism in either of them as some had pretended would be the case. — 1 But we must cease and give place to the official roceedings. r Official Report—Fourth July Whig Cele bration.

The Grand Marshal of (lie day rcpoits to the Club that there were present Twenty Thousand 3 persons. 1 At sunrise, the day’s proceedings commenced ? with firing thirteen guns by the Charlotte Artillery ' Company, during which, a large flag, 20 feet long, 1 was raised in tile main street, bearing the follow ing mottos, viz: on one side, “No reduction of Wa - gos, but j rosperity to the Farmer and Mechanic:” 3 on the reverse, “Our country is in danger: the t spirit of 1776 will preserve it.” ? At 9 o’clock the procession began to foim at the s race ground, one mile from the Court House, and 2 they ‘marched through the town of Salisbury to the 3 Factory Grove on the opposite side of it. I The following is the order of the procession: Ist. A band of Pioneers. 2d. President, Vice Presidents and Secretaries, s Salem Band of Music. Clergy. 3 Invited Guests. THE GUILFORD DELEGATION. 1 This body was preceded in front by their Chief I Marshal: next came a Log Cabin, drawn by six r while hoises, with a large Broom over the front " gable, marked on one side, “Broom of Reform;” r on the other, “Clean VVoik;” over the centre of s the Cabin waved a purple flag, with this inscrip a tion on each side, “2,500 Whig votes in Guilford.” -• A barrel was lashed behind marked “Hard Cider.” f Throughout the procession a smoke continued to ' issue from the chimney. Deer skins, racoon skins, and buck horns, were hung about the Cabin, and inside of it were many relics from the old Guilford battle ground, such as swords, balls, shot and bay onets, The Cabin itself was constructed with 1 poles cut from the same ground. The Cabin was followed, first, by the “Tippeca noe Club of the county of Guilford , with a large white banner inscribed on one s de, “Once more j- to the rescue —dear friends, once more,” with a barrel neatly represented in the centre, marked ” “Hard Cider;” on the other side was represented " a Log Cabin, inscribed “Republican Simplicity” ■> “Against Loco Foco Arrogance.” The staff of this a banner was surmounted With the model of a “Da i gon Plough.” Next came “The Greensborovgh e Guards ,” with their music and company flag, and with an elegantly embroidered white silk flag, on ~ one side of which, within a green wrought wreath, were the words, “Merit wins the Prize;” on the s other side was a most beautiful Eagle, with a scroll Y in its mouth, bearing these words, “On to Vic - toryl!” Next came a large Canoe, drawn by four white ff horses, on each side was a flag, inscribed “Tippc -1 canoe,” with another beautiful flag waving over it. Next came the citizens of Guilford in immense numbers, (the Club have not been able to ascer tain their exact number,) over them was floating a e large blue silken sheet, most beautifully lettered f as follows: on one side, “The sons of old Gui ford” —“Against the Standing Army”—“Against the - Sub-Treasury” —“Against Van Boren”—on the other side was, “The sons of old Guilford” —“For Harrison and Tyler ” —“For John M. Morehead ” — “For Retrenchment and Reform.” ' [Nothing could exceed the spiiit with which these hard-fisted , sound headed and true-hearted ’> fellows went into this business. —Editors.] *• IREDELL DELEGATION. Next came tire people from Iredell; their Mar e shal reports to the Tippecanoe Club five hundred e and fifty one working men, not a professional man t among them, except four physicians, who were y specially ordered. They had a Log Cabin 16 by S, I of the most primitive and olden time appearance: over this humble but significant pageant was a ' while satin flag, fifteen feet long, inscribed, “Ire- II dell”—Whig in 1776, Whig in 1840”—“One more h fire and the victory is ours” The whole furniture y and accorapanyments of this cabin were in keep e ing: it was occupied during the procession by that j brave and true hearted soldier of the Revolution, General Ephraim Davidson, with several other ■ Revolutionary soldiers, belonging to Iredell, bear ing on their hats in large figures, “’76.” The Log ' Cabin was drawn by eight white horses, elegantly J harnessed, and decked off with small flags and pen >f nants. Next to them came an Indian Canoe on g wheels, drawn by four wh te‘horses, suitably ca i- parisoned; on one side was the word “Tippeca j canoe,” on the other, “North Rend.” Over this . Canoe was a large Ball 6 feet in diameter, which ’ was kept all the time in motion. It was inscrib n ed, “Iredell:” “The ball in motion:” “Huzza for a Tippecanoe ” Over the ball floated a large silk s banner, bearing the National Arms, 23 stars and 13 ;t stripes, inscribed, “Principles not Men” —W. H. s Hanison” —“John Tyler” —John M. Morehead ” a A more determined and true hearted set of Whigs than these from Iredell, are not to be found. They 5* are the worthy representatives of the men who pul 1 the ball in motion at Ramsom’s Mills. ° Next in order came y CABARRUS. y It is estimated that about 500 persons were pre d sent from this spirited county. Her procession J w'as under the charge of Gon. Means, as Chie* Marshal, Maj. Wm. Barringer, Maj. Corum, Maj. Coehran,Calcb Phifer, Esq . Col. Shinpock,and Col. VVedfiington, as Assistant Marshals The proces sion consisted of a troop of Cavalry in front with a flag- —then the “Cabarrus Artillery,” under Captain Henderson, with music and a beautiful flag —then a very handsome and well-built Log Cabin, and its appendages, on a wagon drawn by six line bay horses. The timbers of this Cabin were taken from the spot in Cabarrus county on which the cit izens destroyed the ammunition and magazine of war, intended by Governor Tryon, for the suppres sion of the then called “rebellious spirit of the Province of N. Carolina.” (hi the door of the Ca bin opposite the string and latch, was inscribed in large white letters, “the string of the latch never pulled in.” In front and elevated above the cabin, was raised a mo.;t splendid square civic bannerol’ large dimensions; in the centre of the banner on one side was painted a beautiful representation of a cabin, trees, farm-yard and farming utensils: — above, on the same side, in very large letters, su perbly illustrated “CABARRUS”—beIow “The spirit of her Fathers on the 20th May, 1775, still animates her gallant sons in 1810”—on the right of the same side, “Fort Meigs and the Thames”— on the left “The Faimer of North Bend.” In the centre of the other side of the bam or was painted a fine half length portrait of Gen. Harrison in mil itary dress—on the frame of the portrait was in scribed “ Wm. H. Harrison, the people's choice ;” above on the same side, in large letters, “Harrison, Tyler and Morehead ” —below, “Cue Presidential Term” —on the right, “No Standing Army”—“No reduction of Wages” —on the left, “No Sub-Trea sury”—“The safety of the public money;” on the top of the staff supporting this banner w r as a gilt ball with the inscription, “We’ll keep this ball in motion,” and a representation of an eagle alighting on the hall with a scroll in its beak, bearing the in scriptions, “Harrison and Tyler," and ‘John M. Morehead .” The lettering and decorating of the banner were all in gold and silver leaf. This part of the procession attracted universal admiration from the assembled multitude Next to the Cabin followed in regular order the citizens of Cabarrus with a flag, tbe inscription on which is not remem bered. The procession formed of the people of this patriotic county, both in passing through town alone in the morning, and returning in the grand | procession of the day, marched forward with mark ed animation, and was repeatedly cheered with ; applauses, which were only equalled by the enthu siasm with which they were returned. MECKLENBURG. Having a small number present, joined with her i daughter Cabarrus in the procession; buttheircon- | tingent in the sum of effect w'as perhaps equal to , any other. Capt. Pritchard’s beautiful and well i disciplined Artillery Company from Charlotte; ! 1 their simple devici of a “ Hornet’s nest” painted ; on a white field, referring as it was known it did to Corn walls’expression concerning Mecklenburg, after they had fought him all along the road, with the discharges of their cannon, gave great anima tion to the scene. Then came LINCOLN, With a cabin drawn by six greys, su'pcrbly har nessed, each bearing a flag, with a motto: The ! first two of yellow silk, with ‘ Lincoln Whigs.’ j The next two of pink silk ; one marked 4 Cowan’s j Ford,’ the other ‘ Kamsour’s Mills.’ The last tw’o, j pink silk, marked ‘ Ring’s Mounta’n,’ and ‘ Cow- | pens.’ The logs for this Cabin were cut from j three battle grounds of Ramsour’s Mills, (in Lin coln,) Kings Mountain and the Cowpens. It was covered with clapboards, with a driver’s seat, or namented with coon skins, and buck horns ; a pail and gourd by the side of the door, and a barrel of ham cider in front under the driver’s scat. Flag of blue, with, ‘ Wm. H. Harrison, —John Tyler — John M. Morehead 26 stars : reverse, 4 Old Rip is wide awake,’ with the National Eagle and stars and stripes. It was borne upon a pole taken from the spot where General Davidson fell, in defending the pass at Cowan’s Ford. [Two heroes of ’76, Messrs. Forney and Puplin, took seats inside the cabin, and travelled to Salis bury. Mr. Forney fought at Kings Mountain, and at Cowan’s Ford. He was also in Wayne’s army, and knew General Harrison as Ensign and Aid to Wayne. The old soldiers returned in the same way to Lincoln, we believe, and were paid all pos sible attention by the boys from that County.]— Editors Watchman. THE STOKES DELEGATION, ' Associated with whom, were some citizens of Orange and Rockingham, 't hese rallied under 1 a large expanded banner, beautifully executed by the young ladies of the Salem Academy; on one I corner above was inscribed 4 20th of May, 1775.’ On the opposite rorner, 4 4th of July, 1776.’ In the body of the field was 4 North Carolina the first to 1 declare, and the last to surrender her Independ ence.’ On the reverse side, was 4 Harrison’ — | 4 Tyler’— 4 Morehead.’ At the end of this banner were 26 red and white streameis, producing a most beautiful effect. Next came an immense Globe eleven feet in di ameter, with longitudinal divisions of every dif ferent color: these divisions came together at each axis. It w r as rolled by twelve persons. Around one axis was inscribed 4 Harrison and Reform;’ around the other, 4 Whig Extra 1841. ’ (Globe.) Nothing in the whole pageant attracted so much attention as the ball from Salem. Capt. Selbei’s Volunteer Company were in this procession, and appeared to great advantage.—The band which pertained to this Company, w r as by request of the Tippecanoe Club, marched in front of the w'hole procession; this certainly was detracting much from the Stokes delegation, but it gave great effect to the general affair, Mr. Lash, of Bethania, was Chief Marshal for this delegation. Anson, Randolph, Richmond and Montgomery, marched under an imposing banner, of a spotless white field, sustaining the motto, 4 Montgomery. Wc will stand by our rights.’ DAVIDSON COUNTY Came next. She was brought up and flanked by proper officers. On her banner was beautifully represented the American Eagle, cutting the air, bearing in his beak a scroll, on which was in scribed 44 Harrison, Tyler and Morehead,” on the one part,and 44 The Union,” on the other —twenty- six stars. On the reverse of the banner was a farm yard scene, in which w T as represented various implements of husbandry. There was a plough, a rake, a harrow and a bee-hive: by the side of the hive, a most beautiful cluster of flowers. On the top part of the banner was inscribed 44 Davids an.” Above the hive, the words 44 Liberty and Econo my’’—below, 44 Olil Rip’s awake.’ Next in order of procession was DAVIE, Led on by Col. Caswell Harbin, as Chief Mar shal, assisted by Major Coon, Capt. Smoot, Capt. Markland, B. Cain, and Geo. W. Johnson. The Log Cabin from this county was larger than any other on the ground, drawn by eight elegant grey hoises; over the windows were hung large cards with inscriptions as follows : 44 The Davie boys will do their own voting and their own light ing.’ On another, 4 Martin Van Buren is our ene my,’ 4 because he has always been hostile to the principles of the great Republican Party;’ and 4 because he is hostile to the peculiar institutions of the Southern States.’ [The two last are quota tions fi pm the Resolutions adopted by a large meet ing at Salisbury, in 1835 —Editors Watchman. On another, 4 you will always find a plate and a knife and fork at my table, and I assure you that you will never find my door shut, and the string of the latch pulled in.’ On another, 4 The people expect too much from the Government.’ On an other — 4 It is belter to destroy myself than to vio late the Constitution of my county.’ —[General Harrison ,] —and was accompanied with a large and splendid purple silk banner, 4 On which was accurately represented the American Eagle, and inscribed, 4 Davie County': True to Whig Princi ples:’ On the reverse, 4 Candor and fidelity in Public Servants.’ The Marshal of this delegation, reports the num ber in attendance, 400. ROWAN DELEGATION, Led by the Chief Marshal—followed immediate ly' by an enormous Broom. This Broom did not attract less attention than the great Stokes Ball. It was made by Mr. Samuel Fraley, of this tnvn, and was 30 feet in circumference; and was borne in the procession by five sturdy Whigs, with an emblazonment, and motto, 4 Clear the Kitchen .’ Succeeding this was a beautiful Indian Canoe, drawn by lour bay' horses ; above the iiead of each floatiag a white streamer—inscribed. 4 Tip’s com ing.’ In the canoe w’ere placed the veterans of ’76, and other aged Wh : gs. On each side of her bow was painted in beautiful letters, 4 Tippecanoe.’ On one side of the gunwales w’as, 4 Old Tip, the life boat of our country';’ and on the other, 4 Our motto is Victory: We wont give up the Ship.’ At the head of the Canoe projected a blue silk Liberty Cap—inscribed, ; Liberty;’ from the crown of which floated four w'hite streamers with the motto 4 Liberty or Death.’ On her bow w r as erected a Leautiful expanded Banner, the head of which was of a pyrainidical form, having on the right side * Old Rowan,’ and on the reverse, ‘ Her guests are welcome from the top floated a white silk stream er, inscribed, ‘ Old flip wide awake.’ On the ban ner was painted a neat Log Cabin, upon tire top of which was perched the American Eagle, bearing in his beak.on a scroll, Our Country’s choice, our Nation’s pride.’ In the back ground was represen ted the tented field, with floating banners. Under neath was painted in large letters, “ For President, WILLIAM 11. HARRISON. For Vice President, JOHN TYLER. For Go vereor, John M. Moke head and beneath this ‘ The ballot box is our Reliance.’ From the corners of the banner floated two white streamers, on one—‘Whigs’ — the other —‘ Do your duty.’ Around on the border of the banner were 2G stars. The whole banner was ornamented by a ruffle of blue quilted riband. On the midship of the canoe were two blue stre.imcis, on the one—‘Real Reform—and on the other —“Destruction to nil plunderers.” — Near her stern floated a most beautiful purp'e silk flag, on which was represented the American Ea gle holding in its beak, a scroll, with the motto — ‘ United we stand, divided we fall.’ Lashed to the stern was a keg, labelled ‘ hard cider.’ Let us add to this splendid canoe, banners, streamers, &c., a company of small boys, 3G in number, handsomely unformed, supporting or sur rounding it m single file, bearing several very neatly furnished banners and streamers, with ap propriate mottos —each carrying painted batoons, acting as an escort guard to the Revolutioners, and we have a scene truly inteicsting. Their uni form consisted of blue caps, yellow jackets and white pantaloons. The Club are greatly indebted to the spirit and liberality of our fellow-citizen, Daniel 11. Cress, to whose taste they owe this most beautiful spec tacle. Afterwards came a neat small log cabin, with a large si'k banner, inscribed on one side “ Hurra for Old Tippecanoe on the other “Row an County.'! Neither to be bought nor sold.” This procession left the held 500 strong; but was augmented to 8 or 900, as the stream passed thro’ the town. There were 22 Marshals attached to this delegation, who did duty throughout the whole time of procession as assistants to the Grand Marshal. In this order they arrived at the Grove, where a suitable stand for the officers, speakers, and clergy, and seats had been prepared. The business of the day here was opened by an earnest address to the Throne of Grace, from the Rev. Mr. Strobcl of the Lutheran Church. The President of the Tippecanoe Club, (who was also President of the Day,) then delivered a brief address. After which Dr. P. Henderson gave a welcome, in a short but very handsome address. H. C. Jones, Esq., then offered the following Resolutions in behalf of the Rowan Tippecanoe Club: Resolved , As the sense of this meeting, that the oppressions which come to us, the People, from the action of our Federal Rulers, are too great to be borne by a free people. Resolved, That it never was intended by the framers of the Constitution, that Congress should have the power of regulating the prices of labor ; nor of compel ing the people to lake one sort of money in preference to another. Resolved , That the policy attributed to the Government by some of its friends of increasing the value of money by making it scarce, would exclude from our market all articles of foreign manufacture. It would a great degree drive our people from the use of Sugar and Coffee and Tea, and greatly increase the price of Salt. It would he a revival of the Protective Tariff in the worst form. Resolved, That the late proposition of the Sec retary of War endorsed and recommended by the President to raise an army of 200,000 men, in a time of Peace, with power in the President to carry them out of their respective States, in order to be trained, is a fearful scheme. It is unwise, uncon stitutional, and would be most oppressive in practice. Resolved, That the President of the U. States, who would dare to lecommcnd a law to Congres which would necessa; ily affect the lives and for tunes and honor of every able bodied man, between the age s of 20 and 37, without having maturely considered the same, would deserve the severest censure : But to recommend a law of this magni tude, without ever having seen it, would lie a criminal sporting with the rights of freemen ! It would show' such a Chief Magistrate unlit for his Station. Resolved, That in our opinion, General HAR RISON is a sound Statesman, a brave and able General, and an honest man. He has disproved every charge of the least importance brought a gainst him by his adversaries; and deserves the favor and gratitude of the Southern Stales. Resolved, That in the Hon. JOHN TYLER, we recognize a patriot and a statesman of the School of Washington, and every way entitled to our con fidence. Resolved , That of JOHN M. MOREHEAD, who is here amongst us an invited guest, delicacy for bids us to speak as our hearts and judgements dic tate. But we will show him on the 13th of Au gust next, in what esteem we hold him. Resolved, That we do not mean to let this State be again given by default to any Presidential can didate: that therefore, on the 12th of November next, we, the Whigs of North Caro’ina, mean to be ‘ up and doing.’ John B. Lord then read letteis in reply to invi tations, from the Hoh. H. Clay, Daniel Webster, and others, which will be found below. The Hon. Mr. Rencher then addressed the meet ing at length in a very powerful speech. Mr. H. C, Jones also addressed the meeting in a very happy manner, producing by the display of a flag which had belonged to the Petersburg Volun teers, at the seige of Fort Meigs, very great ani mation. General Eduey, following, made a soul-stirring speech. The assemblage then retired a short distance and partook of an excellent collation of sub-tan tials, in which there was no other liquor than a plenty of “ hard cider.” On returning to the stand, the assembly was again addressed by the Hon. and Rev. Air. Culpepper from Anson county, who had been a member of Congress w ith General Harrison, in 1819-20. His testimony was very well received and highly gratifying to the Whigs. Col. Barringer of Cabarrus then made a very ex cellent speech. And the whole was concluded by a thorough and searching speech from Mr. Boyden of Surry. The resolutions were then put and carried by acclamation. The mcctingthen returned to town in order, pre ceded by Mr. Cress’ canoe, containing the Salem Band. A large number of ladies were present, and ad ded much to the interest of the scene. When the procession was passing through the streets, they w T aved signals of approbation which were most lustily responded to by thejseveral delegations. The Chief Marshals flourished their swords; tlie Assistant Marshals waved their batoons ; the stan dard bearers lowered their colors, and the militaiy presented arms, and the body of the procession sent forth most hearty cheers. Before the meeting dispersed, Air. Ilenchcr of fered the following resolution : Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting are due, and are hereby tendered to the “ Tippecanoe Club” of Rowan count}', and to the people oi Salisbury, for the very handsome and hospitable manner in which we have been received and en tertained by them R.

Gentlemen: — l am much obliged to you so. your kind invitation to the fourth of July cclebra tion in Salisbury. My official engagements foi bid me the indulgence of my wishes to rneetyoi on that occasion—and to interchange with you own common sentiments in regard to the presen condition of our country. To have spoken ti the Whigs, in the centre of North Carolina, m the interesting topics, which occupy the publi mind, would have been a groat pleasure to me. •'-orne of these however, are of such peculiar in terest to us in the South, and I cannot forbea to touch upon them in this note, which perhap might as fitly be limited to the mere declining o your kind invitation. Any one who has at all observed the preset, condition of the public mind, must have pcrceh ed that it is entirely absorbed in the President!; Canvass—our parly struggling to perpetuate it selfm the power which it possesses Pje on the other hand to change fPG d, J he hare staling of this proposition ',»,*** Tr fearlul odds which exist against the . 0 i >Ws U Th.Vce.idcm is in pLcl^‘T: 4‘ source of honor and emolument, jr. ~ s k I £ annual disbursement of thirty-one mi'r M dollars he has the appointment of i„ m ' ' n< ■« mp ofhees—he has possession of a forties- !T Custom House, in every Land Oflw’ ln M T Post Office of the Country, and rack’ «oi< fortresses is manned by troops of hi*,.

' ie P“'-|iyk It is against a force thus organized und \ lined that the people have to contend and ’ I must always be the case as long as fir hility of a President is permitted. Here tl 1 jff a great grievance to be redressed, a' P should be elected fur but one term, and n °’ lC ‘ formation can hardly be effected unless w P ric have in the Presidential Chair, a citizen i ,vtfW ' self denying patriotism, would prompt hi, AeC " commend such a measure and to enlbrceithfl *?/* example. At this moment there is a com,'Vl . tween a president, who is struggling f or a S( Y ' tbeU torn and a citizen who is pledged f„ r ; 1 But do not propose to occupy your at to cj . , by following out the very important results M which an investigation of this subject wouldU i here is a more prominent topic fur the C varv which has been passed by our the Presidcntail Canvass—on which I do<-' S say a word. p g!( Ihe opponents of Gen.

JBa> treating it may load, have made the charged 9L Abolitionism against him and ir-discriminat*. ® against his friends. 'They have not hesitaiedj fcf the audacious calumny of imputing it even; ITT those friends of his—who live in the midst of 4St Slave-holding region, involved in all the com®, ' j* interests of it. A portion of their charges being thus manifei M. ly false and absurd, they are discredited in gard to the other portion of it—bv an alternan* r i • objection to their veracity or their judges The folly or the falsehood, betrayed, in regards, Geo us, mitigates the blow aimed against dm, jp ms I risen—and stamps upon the whole face of tbir asperson, the impress of reckless and unscrut- iori lous party ' * But with what severity of apprehension,l Ji* that party in the South to be visted, whopl »°9 claim war upon their brethren and upon tie all own fire sides. On this vital question of AbJ Vy, tion—and because we are Whigs insist that»| B shall be incendiaries, and because they arelccjl focos tbatthey will be the only guardians of 4 property—who say to their neighbors and the iff kindred—if you do not join us in the supports our Candidate we will denounce you as in®. vVe diaries. What conception can men who i;a trac trifle with the great subject have of its ma* f' l tudel Are they fit guardians of our rightsn steai interests who thus for a paltry purpose, wouit; 0l ray one Southern man against another Souther. « ] man, on the Slave question—and because the u dilier about a President, insist that there isais pret a difference in regard to our institutions. TL bran loose and wanton way of treating a vital quests prov when the opinion of the world is pressing usi 390 all sides, indicates either a great mistake as tea as ** real importance—or as in the importances Sf union amongst us on Inis subject , with an ag» jy C( ment to differ upon others of infinitely less hi quol import. C 1 earnestly hope that the Whigs at least,*; at $ have sufficient regard for candour —and a suit- * cient estimate, of the uanger of dividing 4 e ®? South on a subject where all of necessity are us.- we * r ted, to avoid charging this treachery on thcil mon : versaries—although they do support for the P» I c dency a man vvlio actively promoted the rest* I wex tion upon the admission of Missouri, and rii We voted for a prohibition upon the emigrating ■ lav j Negroes into Florida. As wc cannot believe tin 1 while, Southern men support hint in spite; j these things—they do so on account of ihem.it ma y us not charge them with that crime—but inti P spirit of common charity—agree that hone* qra unwise, upon every ground is their advocacy- no 1 Mr. Van Buren, —still tnoy- arc but mistaken. That they are mistaken on every ground, ij proved by the record. I'hcy advocate himbecast cen they say he is devoted to Southern institution yet he voted in the New York Legislature fork I Missouri restriction Because ire is anti-tanlf- and . yet he voted for the Tariff of 1824 and 1828- * a f Because he is anti-internal Improvement-* |* ail he voted foi the toll gates on the CumberlaJ Road—Because he is a Republican—yet he vote jq,,; for Rufus King, for the Senate, and sustain*! Mr. Clinton against Madison—Because heisi fj friend of State Rights—yet he approved the Pr- A clamation and Force Bill—Because he hadt? rem ents—and yet has never done or said or wriili any one thing that his friends can point out. g' on How then has it happened that he is Pr» |j ol .; dent of the United States, and has a formula!' ( party sustaining him for re-election. The in ?nd answer furnishes a conclusive aigunient why» Upl should not be. He was put into the Presto *fs. by the power of his predecessor. This has ne« been denied—no one doubts it, and being in, I is sustained by the power and organization* ma Executive patronage. The office-holders cail him, in, and office-holders keep him in. ' a Sin himself declared that his glory- was in serving* qu; chief, and announced, that his policy would bet J follow in the footsteps of that chief. As to what he has done for the country—! o4 around upon the prostration of all her great k sto terests—what hel as done for his stipendiaries-* look at the annual expenditure of thirty-n ,ci re<] millions ot dollars. Every man is dep r essed he who holds an office, and every man who an office, is active for the Chief who gives ib gt ‘ him. _ 'i'heir faith in the discharge of their oft* * duty is exhibited in the unparalleled ment of public money—their fidelity to ti!f » master in the increasing industry with they devote themselves to electioneering,* their unscrupulous resort to the foulest meai> Hn shown iu their daily calumnies upon Gen. h rison. They represent him as a coward, a > tard, a heartless tyrant, a maniac escaping C a cage, and filling the streets with riot ariu 1 al ienee. , | I hope and trust that the aroused spirit ofan people, will rebuke this flagitious temper-; 11 e the spoilers from their ill-gotten and much power, and save us from the further misrule party whose whole domination has been ized by violence, corruption, and disaster.
