the General in Ohio? tiis replywax, it car ruern
aiy serves, “No, I neve; seen him eince I saw
him in New Jersey.”
A beautiful revelation this truly! It appears
that when the base slander was loosely uttered
for effect in the commiittee room, its reckless au
thor little thought of being called on to swear to
it. Being ashamed to retract, and thus confess
himself a slanderer, and pressed by his party, he
puts the peal to his guilt by positively and delib
erately swearing to that which he must l.ave
known to be at least doubtful. The affidavit which
was published in the Doily on Wednesday swears
unqualifiedly to a “ personal acquaintance;” that
“he frequently saw him and heard him converse
on political matters, and that he knows him to
have been a member of the Federal pa ty at that
line—has frequently seen him wear the black
cockade badge of Federalism attached to his hat,”
&c-
The explanation above given by the writers of
the affidavit, exhibits the nature of 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
Federal parly,” &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 ex>ant would have told
that Harrison married in Ohio, and not in New
Jersey, while stationed at Fort \\ asbington, in
the year 1795, during W ashington’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. Priee, 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 parly —that he was elected 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
lodge Burnet, and all the surviving citizens of
Ohio who have known him personally and in
timately throughout, when called upon, have pub
licly declared that he wr,g never a member of the
Federal party, and that he never was seen with a
black cockade. That Mr. Price should have
been persuaded to swear so positively upon the
authority of such ju'enile recollections, even sup
posing him to be sincere, against the recorded
testimony of history and the corroborating evi
dence of many living witnesses, betrays at best
lamentable infatuation.
We may infer from this case the character of
the statements that are made in the committee
rooms of the Administration, to deceive that
class of our fellow-citizens whose confidence
they have won by delusive promises, and whose
limited opportunities of information peculiarly
expose them to deception. Every possible effort
should be made to penetrate these secret con
claves with the light of truth and history.
Gkn. Harrison not too proud to cabby
his own thunk. — A friend relates to us the fol
lowing anecdote of Gen. Harrison. He says—
“l was travelling in company with the General
in September, 1836, and at the landing near Fre
dericksburg, while the porters were wheeling off
the bagago from the steamboat to the stage, of
young blades from the springs, Gen. Harrison
catching hold of his trunk, threw it over his
shoulder, and in the hot sun and dust, carried it
near two hundred yards to the stage. Sonic one
of us remarked, “why General, have’nt you fa
tigued yourself unnecessarily ?” “No,” he an
swered, “it is ridiculous fora poor man to throw
away a half dollar when he can save it; and I
never was ashamed to carry any thing that be
longed to me.”
Thk Hahrisox Flag ! !—An Indiana gen
depian, who arrived here yesterday morning, by 7
the way of Madison, states that as he was com
ing through Indiana almost every wagon that he
met or passed was bearing a Harrison fiag. He
counted, within a short distance hack of Madison,
between twenty and thirty of these “land ships,”
all of which had flags flying aloft, with the in
scription—“ Harrison and Reform.” —Louisville
Journal.
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 ?

I with Wasiabx Mexico. —The New
’ I iork Express has tbe following paragraph*
W ilhin a few days a merchant from St. Louis
? purchased in Boston twenty-five hundred bales
I 1 of domestic goods, ebar'ered a vessel, and sent
them round Cajre Horn, for California. This
• is an enterprize which emanated at Santa Fe,
! and Upper Mexico. The trade of that couu
i try has been generally carried on by land, in car
avans, through a long list of form id: b.e tribes of
( | Indians, very hazardous and exceedingly difficult.
This is the first enterprise of this kind" that has
; ever come to our knowledge, and is worthy ol
| much reflection. The distance from St. Louis
t) Boston, and from hence round Cape Horn to
j ffi® U°ast of California, and from thence to the
■j interior, is a voyage altogether of a most extra
ordinary character, —and there are but very few
individuals of any country, except Yankees, who
would ever undertake an enterprize of the kind.
1 he parties who have undertaken it deserve, and
we trust will be amply paid for the labor, hazard
and capital engaged. There is, however, a fact
connected with this that deserves notice. The
goods are purchased in Boston, and we are told
that many, very many, ofthe Western merchants
nave this year purchased their goods in Boston.
Our city has, until this year enjoyed this trade if
it should lose any considerable portion of it, it
would be a serious loss.
Quick Senses of the Ahab.—Their eye
sight is peculiarly sharp and keen. Almost be
fore I could on the horizon descern more than a
moving speck, my guides would detect the stran
ger, and distinguish, upon a little nearer approach
by his garb and appearance, the tribe to which
he belonged. They also possess a quality, shared
by several other savage nations, that of tracking
by their footsteps, men and animals. In this re
spect, indeed, they rival the North American
Indians, forthey tell not only the number, time,
&•„ when the parly had passed on, but also (so
they assert.) their age and tribe.— We/lsted's

Athenian Laws Relative to Women. — A wo
man could not claim her jointure if she was child
less, while her actions and conduct were amenable
j to the state, even to Lie most minute details of her
private and personal life. The bridal wardrobe of
: j females was limited by law to three robes, and a
“few ves-els of small value.” A married woman
i ! could not on any account,go cut at night, without
j a lamp or tor h being carried before her. She
could only travel with as much meat and drink as
could be purchased with an obolus, and carried in
j a small hand basket; nor could an “innocent wo
man appear in the street lightly dressed under the
penalty oi a thousand drachms.” Whatevar was
her fortune, she could not dispose by will of more
than the value of a measure of barley. While the
laws otherwise facilitated divoice to the husband,
they did not require the proof of frailty on the part
ol the wife. But if she had a mind to leave her
husband, on plea of misconduct, she was compel
led to give in a separation bill to the arclion, with
I ber name, and not by proxy ;an act always
j odious to the free women of Athens who were un-
I used to appear in public.— Lady Morgan's Woman
and her Master.
From the Snag Boat.
The history cf the world will show that woman
ha; ever been devoted to liberty. During the long
war of our own revolution the American matron
girded the sword upon her Whig son, and sent him
forth to raby beneath the “broad stiipes and bright
stars” of liberty—the maidens of ’76 wrought gor
geous banners with their ownfair fingers, and pla
cing the sacred emblem in the hands of the young
and brave, sent them forth to “do or die” in the
cause of independence. And now, when the Wnigs
of ls4U are marching against a corrupt party whose
wickedness and corruption have destroyed that li
berty and prosperity which our revolutionary
sires fought to attain, our efforts in the good cause
are cheered by the approving smile of the worthy
descendants of the mothers of ’76.
“Then honered be woman ! she beams on our sight
“Graceful and fair as a being of light —
“Scatters around her, wherever she strays,
“Roses of bliss on our thorn-covered ways."

tronage, it is customary and’proper to set forth
in a prospectus, the principles which its conduc
tors intend to support, and to give such pledges as
to its management that its patrons may not at any
future time find themselves deceived or disappoint
ed in its course.
And first, as to our political creed. Believing
that there is at present a crisis in our national af
fairs, which requires the hearty and unremitting
exertions of every true lover of his country to
preserve it from the destruction that menaces it
that a powerful and fatal influence is now exerted
upon our institutions oy ambitious and unprinci
pled politicians; that the Constitution, that safe
guard of our libeities, is in danger from their ma
chinations, and that the State Rights doctrines and
the principles of the revolutionary patriots only,
can preserve it inviolate, we shall give our unde
viating support to those doctrines. Our motto
shall be “Principles and Men;” therefore, of the
prominent candidates for the Presidency, now be
fore the people, we choose those for our support
who we believe will carry out State Right* mea
sures, viz: General W ILLIAM HENRY BAR
RISON and JOHN TYLER, gen llemeH whom even
their enemies allow to be true patriots and hones
men.
As the title of our journal indicates, we shall
devote much of its columns ta the interests of
Agriculture. We shall endeavor to- give lo the
Planter the latest and best information of the im
provements, now almost daily taking place in his
business. We are aware that in the strife of party,
agriculture, the foundation on which society rests,
has been too much neglected by the press, and that
some “Reform” is needed in this respect.
All the aid in our power shall be given to the
cause of literature, and we shall endeavor lo ren
der the Gazette as interesting as possible to every
class of readers.
