To the Harrison Men ol Richmond Co.
The near approach of the election, and the re
cent nomination by the Locofoco party of an entire
ticket for the Legislature, in our opinion, renders
it necessary that we should warn you against the
game which is now playing to defeat your cause
in this county. This is no ordinary coolest, it is
not one of mere men, but it is one in which are
involved important principles. It is one in which
Republicanism on the one hand, or Locofocoism
and all its concomitant evils on the other, ,'mt.st be
triumphant. Against the doctrines of the locofoco
party, and their corrupt and dangerous administra
tion of the Government, you have waged a, zealous
war, and it is important that you should carry ou*
this warfare in the election of your Representatives
in the Legislature.
The nomination of the Locofocos of an entire
ticket is a mere trick, a dernier and desperate re
sort to keep up appearances. They have no idea
of success, and no hope of electing any of their
nominees but Glascock, and that hope is predicated
upon the expectation of getting the votes of Harri
son men. That this hope is delusive, we entertain
no doubt. Nevertheless, we deem it our duty to
warn you against the efforts now making for the
accomplishment of that object. Some of you have
already been told ana persuaded that it will not
have any effect upon the election ol Gen. Harrison
to vote for him, and hence you have been entreated
for your suffrage. Nothing is more fallacious or
untrue. Have you forgotten there is to elected
a Senator in Congress, for the ensuing six years
after the 4th of March next ? And ;are you
willing to give your support to a man, who will
lend his aid in tilling that high and dignified sta
tion, by suen an imbecile party tool as Wilson
Lumpkin, who has so long occupied a seat in that
body, with no credit to himself or honor to the
State ? We think not, avc had almost said, we
know not. We are confident that no Harrison
man, no man who desires reformation in the Gov
ernment, will aid in electing any man to the Legis
lature, who wi'l vote for a Locofoco Senator in
Congress. '
The friends of Harrison, Tyler and Reform,
Imve presented for your support, men of sterling
worth,and rare ability, those who have represented
you faithfully in the Legislature, and above alb
they recomracml to your support those who are
devoted to your principles, and Avhat you regard
your true interests. Will you, can you then put
aside one such a man, and place on your ticket
such a man as Glascock ? Jenkins, Crawford and
Rhodes are pledged to cany out a our principles,
and will vote for such a Senator in Co'ngre s as
will do honor to the State. And on the other hand,
Glascock is opposed to your principles, and will
vote for a Senator who also opposoe you. Mark
well these things, guard yourselves agairlst any ef
fort to draw you off from your principles, and
epurn the man as you would the enemy of your
liberties, who would dare to ask your support of a
Locofoco for the Legislature. Recollect that the
riends of Reform on this occasion, expect every
man to do his duty ” to hircself, his count iy and his
principles, and go to the ballot box determined to
support the men who support your principles—the
ticket nominated by your party—the wfiiole ticket
and nothing but the ticket. = j
These remarks, although designed mere particu
larly for this county, will apply throughout the
State. It is an important election, and no Harri
son man, no man avlio is sincerely dcexited to the
principles of reform, and who is honestly opposed
to the dangerous doctrines of Locofocoishi, should,
under any circumstances, vote for a Van Buren
man. And %ve trust they will not. j
Maine Elections.
The Charleston Courierof yesterday says The
Whig papers give returns from 213 towns, in which
the Whig condidate for Governor has a majority oi
1822 votes —there are 128 towns yet to be heard
from, which, it is confidently asserted, will nol
counterbalance this vote, and, therefore, the elec
tion of a Whig GoA-ernor is claimed as a certainty,
Four of the Congressional candidates elected are
Whigs, and it is expected that Noyes Avill succeed
in Hancock and Washington, in which case they
will stand 5 Whigs to 3 Administration. In the
Senate, the Whigs have a majority. In the House
of Representatives, the Portland Advertiser says,
the Whigs have a good chance of having a major
ity in the House. The towns where there was no
election on Monday, and where representatives are
to be chosen, will probably decide the result.
Major Eaton in the Field.
From the Pennsylvania Inquirer of the 18th
instant, tve observe that Major Eaton has taken
the stump against the Administration of Mr. Van
Buren, and declares in favor of General Harrison,
whom he pronounces, from a long and intimate ac
quaintance, one of the soundest Republicans and
purest patriots.
By an arrival from Cedar Keys, we learn (says
the Apalachicola Advertiser,) that on the 4th inst.
the 2d Regiment of Dragoons, Capt. B. L Eeall,
surprised and attacked a party of about thirty In
dians, on the Wacassassie river, and succeeded in
capturing Hola-Too-Chee, a sub chief of the Mica
sukies, Hosan-Hadjo, or Craggy Moss, Holan-Te-
Mathla-Chee, aad No-Cos-CLla or Bear’s Foot.
The others fled to the hammocks, whither, accord
ing to our informant, Capt. 8., with the troops un
der his command, intended to pursue them, taking
the prisoners with them, to ascertain if possible
their place of retreat.
We learn also that a party of Indians burnt a
house a few miles below Chattahooche a few days
since ; its occupants had previously fled from ap
prehensions of an attack.
Celebration at Erie, Pa.
“ Great gathering of the People—Twenty thousand
Whigs rallying at the call of their country —
The Locofocos beaten Jive to one.”
This is the caption to a long and glowing de
scription, bublished in the Buffalo Commercial, of
the great celebration at Erie on the 10th inst. The
concourse of persons, from all parts of the State,
Avas immense. Some idea may be formed of tire
length of the procession by a question put to a
Whig by a pale-faced Locofoco ;
“ How long is the procession ?” asked a long
visaged Loco of one of the Marshals of the caval
cade.
“ Indeed, sir, I cannot tell,” was the reply; “the
other end is still forming somewhere in the State
of New York.”
The seeker after the evidence that revolution is
now in progress, (says the Commercial,) might
have found it here at this celebration of the anni
versary of a d <y of the remembrance of which
every American is proud. And if before he doubt
ed the ability of the sons of Uevo'utionary sires to
effect such a movement, he could on this evening
take his leave, with the full conviction that the
blood of the fathers bums in the children’s veins
—that the mantle has fallen on worthy shoulders—
and that there is yet moral feeling ai d political
virtue enough left in America to make it America
still —the dear, the loved, and the deservedly
cherished land.
Joseph C. Potts, (V. B.) has been appointed Clerk
of the United States District Court for the District
of New Jersey, (Mahlon Dickerson, Judge,) in
place of Robert D. Spencer, (Whig) of Burlington,

Mr. Webster at Faneuil Hall.
At the meeting held in Faneuil Hall, Boston,
on Friday the 1 Ith, Mr. Webster presided, and
on taking the chair made a short speech which is
reported as follows in the Boston Atlas:
Gentlemen: The particular purpose of our
meeting this morning, is to pay our respects to
those Officers and Soldiers of the Revolutionary
Army who honor this occasion with their pre
sence. It is now my most welcome duty to ten
der to them, in youi names, your felicitations and
salutations.
Officers and soldiers of the Revolutionary
Army! The vast assemblage of the free citizens
of New England here present, the great number
of our fellow-citizens from other States, who met
yesterday at Bunker Hill to express their opinions
upon political topics, have instructed me to tell
you of the pleasure they felt at seeing you among
them. They bear your name. They came to
gether yesterday as Whigs, and as Whigs you
lought amid the fire and blood of the Revolution.
Venerable Fathers! they will not dishonor that
name upon wiiich you have conferred renown so
imperishable. If we understand your principles,
they arc our principles. We inherit them ; we
cherish them ; and vve will transmit them as our
best legacy to our children. There is no man
who can remain unmoved, if,in any assembly,he
meets with even a small remnant of that gallant
band who fought where we only discuss, and
who poured out their blood in defence of that spot
where we meet to confer. And I undertake to
say that the Whigs of this generation, both in
public and in private, and in all things upon
which they are called to act—if they have not
been before others, others at least have not been
before them in the respect and gratitude they pay
to the Whigs of the Revolution. I call upon the
records of our public councils—upon the tradition
ary history of the land—upon the general recol
lection of the whole country to bear me witness
in this respect. Soldiers, your sons are not defi
cient in filial duty to you, nor in gratitude for
your revolutionary efforts.
It is now fifteen years since, when, in the pre
sence of that great man, the early and firm friend
of America—Lafatette—we assembled on
Bunker Hill to lay the foundation of that monu
ment Avtiich has since made some progress, and
which is destined to perpetuate to the latest pos
terity the achievements of the men who fought,
and some of whom fell, it the contest of the 17th
ot June, 17 1 5. \ our number then was larger.
Time has had his operation upon you, and to-day
you are few. Yet I have pleasure of announ
cing to my fellow-citizens that there are here sol
diers who took part in the contest on Bunker
Hill. They have lived to see this day, to partake
in the deliberations of this convention; and, havin"
already said that the whigs of the present time are
not behind hand in gratitude to themfl will now
say that in my judgment, taking the whole country
through, nine-tenths of the revolutionary sol
diers are with us. It is no new banner we carry.
It is no new name we bear. Our fathers are with
us—and their generation, and our generation,
and that generation which is rising up, are mo
ving forward with united strength, in an effort
for the improvement of our gov’ernment. We
thank you for coming among us 1 . Your vener
able presence cheers us. The grasp of your hand
encourages us. We feel that we are tight—that
our cause is good—or else your hearts would not
go with us. And we pledge our faith, our char
acter, our honor in the presence of you, our fa
thers, that we will Ire true to that cause and those
principles which led you on to meet the shock of
a foreign foe—true to that moral honesty, that
love of country, which led you patriotically to
the field—and through which, thanks to Almigh
ty God. you have lived to see so rich a haivest se
cured to your country.
Gentlemen, there are others around -me who
are nearer to you in age. I leave it with them
to finish what I have so imperfectly begun, as I
shall have the honor to introduce them.
Some of the Reasons why Mr. Van Buren
is Supported in the South and Especially
B in .'outh Carolina.
ll Extract from the Speech of Mr Dillett, of Ala
bama in the House of Representatives, on the
d Sub-Treasury Bill.
t 1. Because Mr. Van Buren used every exer
- tiou in his power, to induce Congress to prohibit
slavery in the State of Missouri.
e 2. Because Mr. Van Buren, in the Convention
j of New York, advocated the privilege and right
of free negroes to vote at elections, with the white
citizens of his State.
e 3. Mr. Van Buren voted in the Senate of the
e United States to prevent the introduction of slaves
i, into Florida.
4. Mr. Van Buren voted for the Tariff of 1828.
5. Mr. Van Buren says, Congress has the right
to abolish slavery in the Distrct of Columbia, hut

6. Mr. Van Buren refused to enter into diplo
matic discussions for the admission of Texas into
the Union, though the acquisition was a favorite
1 object, which regularly descended to him from his

- State, in his official correspondence with Foreign
1 Powers, spoke disparagingly of the conduct of his
own Government.

11. For proposing the Sab-Treasury scheme
four times—having been rejected as often by Con
gress.

corporations only.
13. Because he was the coadjutor and adviser
' of the Proclamation and Force Bill.
. 14. Silting quiet and coolly seeing the Consti
tution of his country violated, in expunging a
L portion of the Journal of the Senate, andapprov
, i«g it.
15. Because the installation of Mr. Van Bu
ren was a sight so odious to some gentlemen
that they could not look at it.
16. Because he was opposed to Mr. Madison,
and his administjation of the government; and
f sustained the opposition to defeat his election.
17. Omitting, by design or neglect, to say any
thing in ills late annual message about the Cum

| For stating, in his annual message to the
present Congress, that the accruing reveuuo

L 1840; and a few weeks afterwards, by a special

notes, to enable the Government to meet accru
ing liabilities.
19. Virtually abandoning the Florida War.

they had, by subscription of money and other
wise, interfered to influence public elections.
22. For denying, by his practice, the correct

Cider.

i bl y altend great Virginia Convention, which
: is to be held in Richmond on the stn of October,
the anniversary of the Battle of the Thames.
i From the Madisonian,
The Gathering Storm*
If, by a very remote analogy, the voice of the |
people may be considered as the voice of God, it '
is now speaking out in loud thunderings from
every quarter of the Union. The peals of pub
lic opinion from the South and the West, have
been reverberated from the Green Mountains of
Vermont. The tempest of public indignation
gathers rapidly, and the pale and agitated coun
tcnances of those who have been revelling and
rejoicing in the distresses of the country, betray
the tenor which has stricken them. Their laugh
has become hollow, and their bravado has dwin
dled into an unintelligible muttering. Kow and
then anatteir.pt i» made to •* crcto,” out it is
more like the ominous tsine of the screech-owl
than the clarion note of a chanticleer. Mr. Van
Burea has retired from the public eye to a refuge
in the woods, where he may writhe in his soli
tude as the mails pour in upon him the daily
proofs of his fallen greatness; and like the Duke
in “ As you like it,” indulge in mournful solilo
quy amidst the decaying foliage—
“ Are not these woods
More free from peril than the envious court ?
m * * * * *
This is no flattery; these are counsellors
That feelingly persuade me what I am.
Sweet are the uses of adversity.
Which like the toad, ugly and venomous.
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head:
And this our life, exempt Irom public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones.”
Another Case.
The Sub-Treasury system has longbeen adop
ted in Austria. Mr. J. Randolph Clay, Secreta
ry c-f Legation at Vienna, thus writes of the
operation of the Sub-Treasuay system, in the
\ Hungarian portion of the Austrian dominions. —
[See public documents published at the present
session of Congress.]
Hungary there is a peculiar system of
taxeJkm, I—a military contribution for the troops;
| 2 —. s domestic contribution.”
“The inhabitants of Hungary are the descen
cistyle of three races Slavonians, or Hungarians
proper and Germans. The population is divided
into five classes, viz: clergy, high noble, pet
i TX3HOBLES, INHABITANTS OF TOWNS AND PEAS
ANTS. —Among the groat privileges enjoyed by
themoble* and clergy, is that of exemption from
i all (taxes. The peasants, [Farmers,] on the con
trary, ate not only deprived of all civil
J msf hts, foot besides the onerous service they are
j olftiged to render to their lords, such as to labor
| 104 out«if 365 days, and to pay to the lord the
j 9fu partof the whole produce of the land; they
i ,pey tit bos to the clergy and bear, together with
i the inhkhitants of the towns, (not noble.) all the
i .expenses of the State. The situation ol the Hun
garian peasant (farmer) is, therefore, miserable
j inike •extreme ; he tastes the vert essence
| of oppkession —the support of a government in
which he has no voice !”
Is it not astonishing that a President of the
Untied States, occupying the chair once held by
Washington, from such “ undoubted informa
tion,” as is contained in the above extracts, of
the situation of countries which have adopted the
Sub-Treasury system, and which, in some de
gree, are the resul s of that system, should wish
to force the same monarchical and tyrannical
scheme upon the American people 1

Death of the oldest Methodist Preacher
in the World.—Died, at Kings wood-hill in
the Kingswood Circuit, the Wood,
Wesleyan minister, in the eighty-ninth year of
his age. He entered upon the itinerancy in 1773;
and was, at the time of his death, the oldest
Methodist preacher in the world. Having tra
velled Jjfly-three years , fourteen years ago (reck
oning from next conference) he became a super
numerary. He continued to preach as his
strength would allow, and only desisted when the
infirmities of advanced age had entirely disabled
him. “Had I strength he once said to the wri
ter of this notice, “I could preach thirty times a
week. It is blessed work.” He had been con
fined to his room from about the time of the Cen
ten.ny Meeting at Bristol. &o great was his de
sire to be present on the occasion that he begged
his frienas to endeavor to carry him down stairs
I for the purpose of ascertaining whether it would
be practicable to take him to the meeting. He
was brought down stairs only to be taken up again
with great difficulty, and he never descended again.
In all the affairs of Methodism he continued to
take the liveliest interest. The extensions of the
missions, Mr. Newton’s visit across the Atlantic,
and the approaching conference, were topics of
cheeriul conversation with him during the last
few days of his life.

X few Words to our Friends in Other
States. —Our political friends in other cities and
States should: not forget that the General or State
Election will lake place in Pennsylvania on the
13th of October, while the Presidential Election
will not take place until th 6 30th of October, or
more than two weeks alter. They should also
be informed that the friends of Harrison expect
to do much belter at the Presidential than at the
Legislative election. Thousands will vote for
“Old Tip,” in Pennsylvania, who cannot be in
duced to go for any other candidate. Local ques
tions, moreover, may, in many instances,influence
the results of the preliminary elections. Thus at
the last Presidential struggle a similar stale of
things existed, and although the Whigs were sad
ly defeated on their legislative tickets, they rallied
at the Pesidential struggle, and, despite the depres
sion and discouraging prospect, gave the “Hero
of the Thames” a vote sufficiently large to
render it uncertain, for some time, whether or not
he had carried the State. The Van Buren ma
jority on that occasion was little more than 4,000.
Then, 100, the Whig party of the State was divi
ded. Now, the Opposition are thoroughly unit
ed. The cause of “Old Tip’ is brighter than it
ever was before. We again say, therefore, that
however well we may do in Pennsylvania, at the
election on the 30lh, when the Old Hero will be
in the field himself.
Another Change.—Mr. A. V. B. Orr, thus
closes a communication in the Delaware State
Sentinel, which proves that he has left the \an
Buren ranks and goes for Ol Tip.

Affecting Incident on Bunker Hill.—
Among the countless interesting scenes, which
took place curing the unprecedented Convention
of the lOIU instant—the mere recital of which
would fill a volume —the following most touch
ing incident has been related to us.
As the delegation from New Hampshire was
passing that from Alabama on Bunker Hill, the
standard-bearer of the latter discovered in the
standard-bearer of the former, his own brother,
whom he had not met for five years. The in
stant they recognized each other, they rushed to
gether and gave vent to their feelings, and as the
banners of the two distant Slates floated in union
over the heads of the two brothers, the members
of the procession joining with the immense con
course of spectators on the spot, rent the air with
loud ana enthusiastic cheerings.— Atlas.
Seizure of Gunpowder — A seizure was
made yesterday by the fire-wardens, of twenty
four kegs of gunpowder, from the store of John
Foote, and of four kegs from that of Morgan &
Fowler.
All powder found in store in this city over
281bs. in weight, is forfeited to the fire depart
ment, and the owner subjected to a penalty of
fifty cents per pound.— N. Y. Com.

William H. Bulloch, Esq.
Dear Sir :—As many reports hove of late been
in circulation concerning our bar, as to the depth
of water, and the difficulty of navigation, much
to the prejudice of our commerce, and the inter
est of our place, lam requested by the Board of
Commissioners of Pilotage for this district, to beg
you to give the enclosed one insertion in the co
lumns ofyour paper.
I remain, very respectfully, your obedient ser
vant, ISAAC SNOW.
State of Georgia, £ Before me N. W. Car-
Mclnlosh County, $ penler, one of the Jus
tices of the Peace for said county, personally
came J. Coburn, Pilot for this district, who being
sworn, deposethand saitn, that on the 13th (thir
teenth) day of August last, he piloted out of the
harbor of Darien, and over the Bar of Doboy, the
British barque Agnes, Capt. James Addoe,
freighted with lumber, drawing eighteen and a
half feet. At the time the vessel crossed the bar
it wanted about an hour to high water, and was
on the low spring tide. She touched a few times
but her course was not impeded, and she passed
in perfect safety. Deponent believes that if they
had crossed the bar at the f ull spring evening tide,
he could have carried one and a half feet more
with perfect safety.
(Signed) JUSTUS COBURN.

Wet Season. —This is the wet '
which there is no degree of
by far the wettest experienced for some years.
The thirsty old growlers who ere while spoke in
rebellious tones against the course of events, and
wateied their crisped up cabbage plants with ■'
desponding tears, are now in ecstacies. The
fountains of their grids are closed, and the pear
ly liquid is reserved to moisten their checks at
the tale of human woe.
Vegetation is springing forward with a growth
only excelled by Jonah’s gourd, oi the manufac
ture of great men of pigmies; and pens and
pumpkins are already rejoicing in their destined
lutes of hop-in-John , and unthanksgiving pies.
Pne orange has assumed a darker hue, a fuller
roundness, betokening the gorgeous look of gold
which will soon invest it. The multicautis
spieads its ample leal—alas! for human fore
sight, no longer the regenerator es an empty
pocket and broken hopes—but waves its brilliant
foliage unheeded by the passing eye; or if it is,
to be looked upon as a “ curnberer of the ground.”
Political aspirants might learn a salutary lesson
trom this tree ; and the clergy might write a
homily upon the uncertainly of sublunary events,
in the fate which mortis sustained in the market
with equal benefit.
Wet—wet—wet! Every thing is wet. The
powdei horn is choked by the adhesion of its
contents; the sand in the hour glass is stilt; the
beautiful ringlets of the hide girls are all wet
and hang as straight as though life had to them
no twist—whilst our riper beauties pout and
waste their sweetness in a vain effort to produce
a curl with heated tongs and gum water. Even
the “ little pigs” who erst,
“ Slept with their tnils curled up,”
now enjoy the delights of repose, with that grace
ful ornament, 6
“ Stuck out a feet.”
