Mast meeting at Fort Harrison.near Terre Haute
Indiana, the fcnoMbg incident is related by '
respondent ol the Stale Journal
' mov. Letcher made motl happy addreaa, and
particularly fratifyine to hie Whiar bearera. He
depicted in the mott glowing colon the) stern and
unbending honesty, and the many eotioent ual
ificatiooi of Gen. Taylor lor tbs Presidency.
While tpeakingof the gallant defence of Fort
rjurnsun, oy men Liteut. ;j aytor, ana nig ornre
little band ol soldiers, an incident occurred woicn
I cannot omit mentioning. A venerable lady
was present, who waa in the For. during the
siege, anq aigigiea in moulding ou'ieie iur iur
soldiers. While Gov. L. was dwelling upon the
almost forlorn hope of the garrison, and paying a
nigb compliment to Uen. Taylor, the old .tody
became niucb excited, and with tears streaming
down her cheeks, raited ber hands and cried out
in a loud voice "Glory to God, and everlasting
thanki to GenTaylor.' The effect was elec
trie. The shout that went up irom me muiiiiuae
was of no ordinary kind.

Low Water in the Lakes. The ; water in
Lake Erie is much lower tbis season than' last.
So much has it fallen that there is an inadaqoate
supply for the canal and for hydraulic purposes
at Black jltock,s The auperintendentof.eariala
has been compelled to shut down the gates of the
mills at Ibal place, last- week, for a considerable
portion of the time. For the past two' or three
days an eastern wind has, prevailed, '.which has
sent the waters pf Like Erie westward and ma
terially lessened the depth,. eJ this end, so that
canal boats and Juke vessels are aground--the
farmer compelled to leave i the, canal at Black
Rock and take o the river. , But this is only j
temporary, which will be remedied on a change
of the wind. The general depression, however,
which has prevailed during the season, is tbe re
sulOf some csue which occurs periodically, tho
not regular intervals, and is the result of some
action which il not easy to satisfactorily ascer
tain. Should tbe scarcity of water continue for
any length uf tinie beyond the present season.
some alteration of the hydraulic and etinaj ar
rangeinen'.s would have to be made at Black
R ck, in order lo preserve the value of one and
the .unobstructed navigation of the other. Buf

, .t is further seriously objected that General
Taylor is slaveholder. This objection comes
above sixty years op late, II was disposed of in
ubstajicee)? the driginal articles of confederation,
fid anntlled,in foraby the Constitution of the
United States,!' The Northern States were clad
enough to avail themselves of the' co-operation of
toe aoutn, in ibell' atroggJe for independence, and
no questions asked.' Not less thankful were
Vhey to cement ihe incipient allianrce by a most
soiemn compct, expressly recognizing their right
to property its their slaves, and enf affinrio pro
tect- it -treating with them ' aa - proprietors of
aiaves, as our eqnais in ail respects, and eligible
of consequence to' till ofilces under the eonstko
lion. What would have been the fate of a motion
in that glorious assembly which formed the con
stitution, or of those Wbo might have made it
George Washington present to declare' a slave,
bolder ineligible to anyoffico under it? I well
remember the adoption of the constitution by my
fellow citizens of this State, when Hancock, muf
fled in red baize, was brought ' into tbe Conven
tion to sign the "ratification. The evening
preceding, a demonstration in favor of, tbe
measure was made in the streets of - Boston, i by
an assemblage favorable lo it ; whose ' numbers,
Paul Revere assured Samuel Adams, were like
tbe sanda of the sea shore, or like the stars in
heaven.- '"''',''"..11". ; ' I
' """The o n hou nded oytflile'pplelsntnvt oc
casioa was allayed Only by the fear that the Souih
ern Slates might not come into tbs league. Nev
er can 1 forget when in the balcony of the Old
City Hal) in New York, Washington the slave
holder, as if an angel dropped from -tba Clouds,
came lotward and took oath to thts'eunport of the
Constitution; No one can describe the' silent,
tearful ecktacy, which pervaded the my riades who
witnesrrd thet scene ; succteded only by ehoute
which seemed' to shake thecanopy above them.

of success.
Thus mueh appears in the records of the Hart
ford Convention. But no symptom of the aboli
tion mania, or a desire to interfere with the do
mestic concerna of ihe South, vat manifested in
any quarter until within a few years. The rise
and progress of this fever is curious. The first
information received by me of a disposition to a
gitate this subject in our Stale, waa from the Gov
ernor of Virginia and Georgia, severally remon
slrating against an incendiary newspaper pub
lished ,in Boston, and as they alleged, thrown
broad-east among their; plantations, inciting to in
surrection and its horrid 'results. . It appeared on
inquiry jhat no member of the city government,
nor any person of sty acquaintance, had ever
heard of th" jraWicatooea Soate lime afterward,
it waa reported to me, by lb city officers, that
they hid ..ferreted, out the paper and its editor;
that his office was a'n oXscore hble, his only visi
ble auxiliary negro boy, and bn supporters a
few very insignificant persons of all colors. Ths
informectidni With the consent of the aldermen, 1
communicated to the above named Governors,
with mi assurance of my belief that the new fan
aticism had' not tnade, nor was likely to make
proselytes' among the respectable classes of our
people In' ihis however, I was mistaken. It
shortly afterward appeared that the infection had
spread beyond the obscure locality in which it
seemed to have originated. An abolition party
was organized, a public meeting of the citizens of
Boston waa called by the agitators, at which, how
ever, no countenance was given to their views,
which were then denounced as political in their
tendency and object, though this was denied.
From "that time the party has gathered strength
and numoers.. Thus, Irom a source so inconsid
erable and obscure, has arisen an agitation of the
public mind, of which the tendency is to desecrate
the memory of departed heroeaand statesmen,
who struggled side by side with our ancestors for
their common liberties, and to bring upon the
planters of ihe S90U), the haired and contempt of
their northern brethren, and indeed, as their in
latuated leaders openly avow.to dissolve the Un
ion 1 '"'
It is impossible to find any cause for this disij
position to embark in a crusade upon, inepeuio
cm institutions, Which did cot exist . at I the lime
when the Northern States stipulated in fact to
leave ihem uninterrupted. , SjuCthai period ibe
