A letter from Newark published in the N. York journal of Commerce of yesterday, says that the Van Buren men have given up the Legislature, which has the appointment of Governor and a U. S. Senator. 1 Louisville, October Cta, IS4O. At a meeting in the town of Louisville, of the friends of Col. Paul Fitzsimoxs, convened for the purpose of offering some tribute to his memory. Col. R. L. Gamble was callsd to the chair, and Major B. S. Carswell, appointed Secretary. After the chair had explained the melancholy object of our assemblage, a committee, consisting of P. S. Lerole, P. B. Conelly, Nath. Polhill, J. \V. Bothwell, and B. S. Carswell, were appointed to make a report expressive of the feelings ol the meeting in regard to the sudden and melancholy bereavement which has brought us together. The committee, after re tiring a short time, made the following report which was unanimously agreed to. H'e have heard with the most poignant regret of the death of our friend an 1 fellow citizen. Cel. Paul Fitzrimons, and while we fee! constrained to bow with resignation to this dispensation of Providence, we have felt that we car.not do less ! than in this formal manner express the very high j regard which we entertained of his character while I living, and the irrepressible regret which we now feel for his death. Reared by fortune above the wants of this Lie, he nevertheless had a feeling for every want, and a sympathy for every woe, neither place or posi tion were above or below his efforts to seive and improve the condition of his fellow men, neither Lis personal service nor h:s fortune were spared to gratify those leading trails of his nature. His be nevolence would have satisfied every want, and his philanthropy would have embraced every man. Thus has he passed from among us in the midst of a usefulness which has no rival, and resulting from traits of character which endeared him to ail within the circle of his acquaintance. We mourn him therefore as a benefactor. We mourn him as a man whoso active benevolence i was always on the alert seeking for objects wor th}' and deserving his assistance. We mourn him because lie was the undevialing friend ©f the poor and needy. We mourn him because all these dis pensations of his benevolence were felt by the re cipient without any ostentatious display of the benefactor, and, more than all, we mourn him be cause in thus using his wealth and high position in society for the advancement of all, without regard to their relative position in society, he showed most clearly that he was actuated by the purest and best philnathropby. As a friend, associate, and citizen, we mourn his loss as ineparablc. In consideration of the estimate of his character, it is Resolved, That as a badge of mourning and in token of our respect and regard we will wear crape on our left arm for thirty days. Resolved , That a copy of these proceedings, with an expression of the sympathies of this meeting, be communicated to his surviving family. It was. en motion, Resolved, That the above pro ceedings be published in the gazettes of Augusta. R. L. GAMBLE, Chairman. B. S. Carswell, Secretary. What will be gained to the People by a Change! This is a very natural question, one which doubless often arises in the mind of every free man. 'The following are a few of the inuhi tude of benefits which we trust w:ll result to the People in consequence of a change of adminis tration : The PEOPLE will regain their lost power of selj-rejjtesentulive Government, of which they have been deprived hy arbitrary EXECUTIVE VETOES—by OFFICIAL BRIBERY and CORRUPTION! The PEOPLE will gain a system of sound, general currency and cheap exchanges, which is vital to tluir business and to the prosperity of the country. The PEOPLE will, by a change of adminis tration. prevent the accomplishment of the gi gantic Lund Plunder and bribery Scheme of Calnoun and Van Buren, who, to ontain the means of gratifying their own individual u/n --bi/ion, have proposed to surrdnder up the im mense National Domain —in which the State of Rhode island has an interest worth several mill ions—to the new States in which it lies ! ! ! The PEOPLE will, by a change of adminis tration, establish the one term principle for all future Presidential terms, which is the KEY to a true and real reform in the conduct of the gov ernment, and which, by removing every Lure and temptation to corruption, presents to the. occu pant of the Presidential chair the highest in ducements to admini ter the government upon such high and pure principles and with such en nobling objects as will elevate anti aggrandize the country, while it secures to the individual an enduring and honorable fame. 'The PEOPLE will, by a change of adminis tration, stop the leaks in the Treasury, through which millions of the public money have been lost to the nation—they will substitute rigid offi cial accountability in the place or high official connivance at public default and plunder of the People’s money—they will restore oid fashioned economy and uoxestt in the administration of the Government —the virtues and enjoyments of its purer and better days. The PEOPLE will, by a change of adminis tration, disabuse themselves of the Sub-Treasury law—escape from the two hundred thousand standing army scheme, and the proposed system of DIRECT TAXES! !! The PEOPLE will, finally, by a change of administration, rid themselves of the Brownsons, the Kendalls, the Woodbury s, the Swartwouis, the Van Burens, and the rest who compose that Jiigh official corps —the most corrupt and des perate set of men which ever cursed any country under Heaven, and who have set for years like an incubus upon the energies of the nation— prostrating its strength—poisoning all the sour ces and springs of its prosperity —corrupting its mind—paralyzing at 1 its limbs, until it has de ranged its whole naturally sound and healthy system ; and they will elect more honest and pat riotic men to conduct their public affairs—who will so administer the Government as to revive the public confidence, restore public liberty, pub lic economy, public prosperity, and ensure to themselves better times, when a:' the Arts of Peace, released from the thraldom of misrule, shall again flourish with renewed vigor, and the farmer, the manufacturer, the merchant, the mechanic jhe lubo t cr, shall all confess them selves to be, in reality, as General Jackson said they were, when he committed their concerns to the hands of Martin Van Buren—“ PROSPEROUS and HAPPY.”— Torch Light. The Locofoco papers of Indiana confirm the statement that G. W. Ewing, one of (he candi dates upon the V. B. elcctorial ticket in that State, has come out heart and hand for General Harri son. The affair has thrown the Locofoco party of the State into the most terrible commotion, i We should not be at all surprised to see the whole Locofoco ticket come out far Old 'Tippecanoe be fore the election.— Louis. Jour. All Mistaken. —The Loco Focos all over the country have been ascribing their recent defeat in Maine, to the Abolitionists. But it turns out they have the wrong sow by the ear. The Illi > neis Slate Register, (Loco Foco) says that the ■ defeat of the Administration is to be attributed to the Mormons. The Poor 3lan r s Friend. Ezekiel Hughes, of the few remaining pioneers I of the West, who has lived a near neighbor to | Gen, Harrison for forty years, gives the following facts to show the benevolence of the venerable man. and h;s never tiring kindness to the suffer ing ami the poor. Hear the testimony of this old neighbor. It is copied from the Hamilton (Ohio) Democrat: In 1796 I crossed the Alleghany Mountains, floated down the Ohio river to the place where Cincinnati now stands, marched into the wild, unbroken and beautiful forest, which then cover ed Hamilton county, : nd built a Log Cabin near the cast hank of the Great Miami There I resided about rive years, until the lauds i west of the Miami were off red at Cincinnati. I purchased a tract about two miles from North Bend, on the west side ol the Great Miami, and almost immediately settled on it; here I have ever since resided a near neighbor to Harrison. We came to Ohio in the vigor of youth ; most of the companions of our early toils and joys, and sprrows, have long since | aid the debt of nature, • | but through the goodness of Providence, we both j yet live, though fast declining into the vale of ! years. I have known Harrison long, intimately and | we!!, and have had many opportunities of study- i ing his character in private life, where a man al- I ways shows what his character is. Hence, lam often asked by strangers, to unfold the secret of Gen. Harrison’s deep sea*ed, and wide spread popularity. I always answer:—first, in the lan guage of Richard M. Johnson, “ the history of the West is his history; for forty years he has teen identified with its interests, its perils, and its hopes. During the late war, he was longer in servive than any o her general officer, he was perhaps oftener in action than any one of them, and never sustained a defeat.” But this alone is not the secret of his popularity. 2dly, In all i the civil trusts committed to Gei . Harrison’s ■ charge, as Governor, Negociator, Representative. Senator, and Foreign Minister, he has proved himself honest, capable, and faithful to the Con stitution ; but neither is this alone or principal ly the secret of his popularity. In what then .locs the secret lie ? It is to be found in the fact, that as a private citizen, as a man, Gen. Harrison i has always been distinguished for human ty to the sick and wounded; charity to the poor in I distress; liberality to the war-worn soldier ; hos i pitality to the strang-r; sincerity towards his j ! friends, and benevolence towards all mankind. To him more than to almost any man lining, will the language of the poet apply. To any sick, the man of Ross relieves, Precribes, attends, the medicine maxes and gives. Is there a variance, enter but his door, Balk’d are the courts, and content is no more; Thrice happy man. enabled to pursue, What thousanas wish, but want the power to do.” To give instances of these virtues would be to write the history of Harrison’s whole life, for his whole life has been devoted either to the good of his country in public, or to the good of his neigh bors in private. His fa-m on the point between the Ohio and Miami River, is subject to inunda tion. I have known him repeatedly, when such catastrophes overtook those who had rented his laud, to forgive all the rent, though he could ill afford ta do it. If sickness prevailed in the neigh borhood, Harrison visited the sick, furnished wine and other comforts, and for the psor paid the physician’s bill. If an old soldier wanted in struction to get his pension, Harrison’s door was always open, and his pen ever ready to assist them; and if difficulty occurred amongst neigh bors, Harrison was the pcace-makcr, the common friend of all, but especially of him who was poor, and could find few other friends. One instance, to show the gratitude of the recipients of his bounty, and I will close. On a journey between New Albany and Blue river, in the State of In diana, I fell in company with an aged man from the Emerald Isle, and he asked me where I lived! I told him near North Fend. God bless you, then you are a neighbor to Gen. Harrison. He tlum told a long story about five or six of his sons, most of whom had fallen in battle. One of them, he said, was wounded at the Bat tle of Tippecanoe, and was taken to the hospital at Vincennes ; there General Harrison visited the hospital every day, and asked each one, sepa-' rately, how he Hid, and what he wanted ; and whenever the hospital fare did not agree with them, the Genera! provided for them daily from 1 his own table. For this kindness to my poor wounded boy. said the old man, I will never for- ! gel General Harrison. Tell the General when j you go home, that if I ever see a dog of his, and have but two cakes, the last in the world, his dog shall have cue of them. EZEKIEL HUGHES. This is the man whom the Globe denounces as a British Whig. From the address of the Syracuse Conserva tive Convention : Fellow-citizens, Van Buren calls himself a Dem ocrat —a Republican. His partisans call him a Democrat. By the assumption of (his popular name they expect the people to-be enticed and deluded, as they have been in oth'er things. They promised us a reformation of abuses-—we believed them and were deceived. 'They promised us ad herence to the one term principle—we believed and weie deceived —they promised us a diminu tion ot expenses —wc believed and were decei ved. They promised us prosperity—they have given us ruin.—They promised a better currency —they have destroyed that we had. They pre mised obedience to the will ,of the people—the ; will of the President has become the law of the land—the thrice rejected Sub-Treasury scheme is forced by Executive power upon the reluctant people. They promised adherence to the Jeffer sonian rule of official appointment—“is he hon est, is he capable, is he faithful to the Constitu tion ?”—they have substituted the slavish crite rion “will he stick to his party r.nd obey the Cap tains and leaders? They promised to enforce a rigid accountability upon public officers—they have exposed the public treasury to every steal thy depredator who chose to sacrifice duty, con science and character upon the shrine of avarice, and after all these and many more proofs of their infidelity, they have the etfrontcry to tell us Van Buren is a Democrat and expect us to believe it. Superior Court of New York.— The case of the North American 'Trust Company by its President, Joseph D. Beers, Esq. vs. Adolphus Wappaus andThedorc Rapin. This was a suit to recover money paid by the bank, on the check of a man named Power, who had no account in the hank. The defendants had received the check post-dated from Power; some circumstances in duced them to send to the hank to ascertain wheth er he (Power,) had an account there, they an swered in the affirmative, and when the check fell due w r as presented and paid. Shortly after payment it was discovered that the check had been paid out o! the funds of another person of the same name, and that Power had no account in Bank. The Court decided that as the money had been paid without coercion or pracricc, and with the knowledge, or at least means of obtain ing, that Power had or had not an account with them, it must he considered a volulary payment, and therefore precluded a recovery. Judgment for defendants. 'Too Good to be lost,— Whilst the procession of Clubs was passing alone our streets on the sth inst, in honor of the Gene ml who never lest a Battle, we noticed with pride and pleasure a line of hardy tars under a banner inscribed with the immortal name ot Perry.

Y. f Amer. We invite attention to ajetler wnich we coj.y from the Albany Evening Journal to day in re lation -o Gen. llaubison, it is from a source worthy ot all credit: Correspondence <f the Albany Evening Journal. New YoI!k. October 1, 1840. \fter a separation of ten years from Gen. H ar rison’s society. i have returned from a visit to Ohio, where I left that illustrious personage, in the best health and sp.rits. The statements made by las political*opponents, of infirmities or mind and bodv, were so at variance with his sit uation ten years ago, that I determined to visit the old Hero of so many battles. I found him on his beautiful farm at North Bend, enjoying all the happiness of an A me; lean farmer, and more vigorous in body and mind than in 1830. Al though sixty-six winters have passed over bi n, and uis bed has often been its snows, still lime has treated him kindly, and he is all that every Whig desires, as President ot the United Stales for the next lour years. The same ragie eye and active spirit, which sleeps but five hours in twenty-four, governs his actions with ail the vigor of the battle days of Way ne, Tippecanoe, Meigs, Thames, &c. His sight is ss perfect, that he reads the letters ot his numerous daily correspondents, without the use of glasses. He is moving with the morn ing itawn, and evt-rv branch of business connect ed with the life of a farmer, lie superintends per sonally. Last year he worked daily and constantly with his men in the field, but this brings so many friends to his house, that he is compelled to de vote the most of his time to them. 180 much has been said in relation to his Log Cabin, that I make the following statement oa which you may rely. Half the main building is the original log cab in, bow covered with boards to preserve the logs from decay, but the wing running back of the north side is still the real log cabin, with no ex terior but the logs and moriar. The windows conform to tfie log cabin style of finish twelve squares 7 by 9 glass, and the whole appearance of the residence of Gen. Harrison is of the most chaste, republican simplicity, with nothing inside or out but what is necessary, and generally found in the possession of most com fortable farmers. Whoever visits this hospitable mansion, be comes satisfied that the latch string is never pull ed in, as the neighboring villagers resort at all times for their wants to Gen. Harrison. The second day of my visit (August 18th,) he invited me to walk and view his grounds. The heat was excessive, and I proposed taking um brellas, but Gen. IlanLon remarked it was an article he never used, and I was unwilling, and would not resort to that protection from the scorching sun. He took me to a delightful sum mit on his farm, and pointed out a short distance to the West, the hills of Democratic Indiana, and not more than one mile to the East, in all the pride of nature’s foliage, the shores of Henry Clay’s Democratic Kentucky. The soil of Ohio *n which we stood, and the blue hills at a distance of Indiana and Kentucky, were secured in battle and by treaty, by the valor of the great and g«od man by whose side I was then standing. How gratilyingto General Harrison’s feelings, that a majority probably of filly thousand demo crats in these three States, then in full view, will unite in sending up their shouts of joy to Heaven, when he takes the Presidential Chair. The General next took me through his forest of Indian corn, one hundred bushels to the acre, and fourteen feet in height. H hen in this vegetable growth, where the thermometer would have stood at 100, and not a breath of air, i found myself entirely overcome by the heat, and had to yield lo the old veteran’s superior constitution. I have heretofore sup posed that no individual could endure more 1- ligue than myself, but I lound I was no match for the old pioneer of the West. If there is any spot at the present time more interesting in the United States lo an American I to visit than another, it must be the hospitable mansion ofGeneral Harrison at North Bend. I You not only read the history of our country’s greatness in his biography, but the mind is led | back to his illustrious father, who placed his name in ’7b to the Declaration ofour National Indepen ! den e. Let any American who glories in the name of Washington, and is familiar with Mount V ernep, and the history of the Washington fami ly, make this visit, and he will I think come to the ! conclusion that there is nothing to be scon which will in comparison, so forcibly remind him oflhc father of his country as a visit to General liarri i sari's. You are welcomed on arrival with true i genuine Virginia hospitality, which makes every ■ one feel as if surrounded by his own family cir i cle. Mrs. Harrison is one of the mostinteresting I and pleasing ladies ol her age that I have ever I seen and appears to be only happy in endeavoring |to make others so. Mr. Taylor, a nephew of the General, a native of Richmond, Va., and a fine representative ol that great democratic state, ac ts at Secretary te the General, and by his untiring urbanity and attention adds much to the happi ness of the visitors of North Bend. Gen. Harrison is fond of retirement, hut the spirit of persecution from his political opponents has been such as to draw him from his farm, and he has mace arrangement to meet his old soldiers and brother farmers in various parts of the State. The effects produced in Ohio trom his presence i and soul stirring eloquence, are sweeping IHo field, and his opponents are already crying “ take him off’ take him off/'’ He is one of the most eloquent orators of the present day, and those who have heard him will go farther to hear him again thvn any other speaker in the United States. His voice is so clear and powerful that he makes the largest audience hear him when ail other speakers fail.
