See the notice for a Meeting in the “ Bloody 600th,” and recollect that every man is expected to be at his post. The country calls, you must obey. 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, removed. —JXeivark haily Advertiser. 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 e it would be impolitic to do it, and an act for that purpose would not be approved by him. 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 1 predecessor. > 7. Because Mr. Van Buren while Secretary of - State, in his official correspondence with Foreign 1 Powers, spoke disparagingly of the conduct of his own Government. 8. He promised to follow in the footsteps of s his predecessor. 9. For asserting that (government must lake care of itself, and the People take care of theui ’ selves. 10. For asserting that the Government has no i right to regulate the currency of the country. 11. For proposing the Sab-Treasury scheme four times—having been rejected as often by Con gress. 12. For proposing a bankrupt law to apply to 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 • berland road. | For stating, in his annual message to the present Congress, that the accruing reveuuo ’ would be sufficient for the current expenses of L 1840; and a few weeks afterwards, by a special message, recommending the passage of an act . authorizing the issue of $5,000,000 of Treasury notes, to enable the Government to meet accru ing liabilities. 19. Virtually abandoning the Florida War. 20. Failing to turn out public defaulters after ; their folly or wickedness was manifest to the Government. 21. For not discharging officers in the employ of the Government after it was publicly known they had, by subscription of money and other wise, interfered to influence public elections. 22. For denying, by his practice, the correct ness of the opinion of Mr. Jefferson, touching the conduct of public officers in elections. Mr. Jefferson ordered, in a circular, that the officers of Government should not use the influence of their stations to control the elections of the coun try. 23. I* or asserting that the people expect too mnch from the Government. 24. The appointment of Mr. Leggett, the abolitionist, to a foreign mission -25. Joining in a petition for a branch of the Bank of the United States at Albany, York. 26. Because Mr. Van Buren was not worthy, 2d session, January, 1832, in the opinion of 1 some of his fast fnends now, of the embassy to England, who voted to his recall —Smate Jour nal, 587. 27. Because he said, after being recalled from the mission to England, it was glory enough to have served under such a chief as General Jack son. 28. For approving the plan suggested for the army occupation of Florida. 29. Approving the plan of Secretary Poin sett for organizing the militia of the' United States, o! an annual expense of not less than two and a half millions of dollars. 30. He opposed the raising of troops, as re commended by Governor Tompkins, in aid of the last war.—See Senate Journals of New York, September, 1814, 31.

He voted and argued against electing Sheriffs.—Same report, pages 190, 322, and 336. 34. He voted against a Committee on Agri culture, notwithstanding more than fifteen mil lions of the public revenue is paid directly and indirectly by the farmers. U. S, Senate Journal Dec. 9, 1825. 35.

He opposed the bill to distribute the sur pulus revenue among the States. Destructive fire at Aux Cates.—Captain Smith of the schr. James Fisher, arrived at Bal tiinore.. from Port au Prince, whence he sailed on 3d inst. reports that information was received at that place a few days previous to his sailing, of a destructive fire having occurred at Aux Cayes, which burned nearly the whole town. Prepara tions were making by the people of Port au Prince to render every assistance in their power to relieve the sufferings of their unfortunate brethren. Philadelphia Fire Department.—From a ta ’ bular statement appended to the Report of the Chairman of the Committee of the Councils, rela tive to the fire Department of Philadelphia, we learn that it consists of fourteen Engine Compa— . nies ; the aggregate number attending fires is 850 ? I minors 101; attached to the Hose Department there t are 23,593 feet of hose. Mortality Among the Smiths ! !—The Wfe ' srmont put an extinguisher upon the political life of John Smith. The Whigs of Maine have ’ J«st performed the P.neral riles of Albert Smith, f 1 his numerous family will be exterminated, un ■ jess they speedily swallow the antidote of Hard Cider. Virginia Convention.—We are highly gratmed to learn from the Boston Allan that Mr. • Webster and Mr. Caleb Cushing will proba 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 ■ .

From the English Wesleyan Magazine. 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. Congressional Election.—His Excellency the Governor, has issued his proclamation order ing an election to be held in the third Congres sional District of this State, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of the Hon. Rick c R u LA oo u *?* r * Garlanu wa s elected a member of the 261 h Congress the term of membership not expiring until the 4th March next.

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. “Convince) that Harrison was worthy of the support of the American people for the Presidency; that we could lose noihing by a change in the Administration, and not choosing to act any longer with a set of men who, when they could say no more against Harrison, commenced on myself, 1 publicly stated my determination (which 1 agiin repeat) to support by ail fair and honorable means, WM. H. HARRISON for the Presidency at the coming election. 1 remain yours, Rockford, Sept. 9, 1840. A. V. B. ORR. 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. From the Savannah Georgian. Darien, 14th September, 1840. 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.
