He stands in no need of my testimony to plaice him in his proper position before the country, on these subjects ; but X seize this 'occasion to add, that I served with Gen. Har rison in the House of Representatives of the. United States, during the administration of President Monroe, who belonged to the ultra republican party, at the head of which stood Thomas Jefferson. He gave that Ad ministration his cordial and uniform support; no one at that day ever dreamed of classing him with the par- ty designated as Federalists, according to the party the lights of candles, lanterns and torches dimly illu- minaung the forest, and making M darkness visible. v At 8 o'clock, Mai. GenJJdneyf Lincolnton, North Carolina, mounted a Log Cabin, and delivered Jan an imated address to the eager multitude, in wlueh, by turns, he electrified them by his bold and untutored eloquence, and excited loud and long continued shouts of laughter and applause by his inexhaustible fond of homely but graphic-anecdotes. Alr ualleon and tou Martin of Rockinsham. N. C. and Messrs. G. H.

The issue is not between Martin Van Buren and Wil liam Henry Harrison, hut it is between liberty , the con stitution and the supremacy of the laws, and an elec-; live despotism, in which the forms of the government remain, while allats powers are united in one of its De partments. It is an issue between.aixty thousand of fice holders, who cling to their idol and fatten on the spoils of the public Treasury, and the people prostra ted and ruined by a misplaced confidence in human virtue and integrity. , I feel the fullest confidence that the verdict of the people will be for reform, ana to mat of yoor letter of the 18th instant, inviting me, in behalf "r Ka .foinr Committee of Tippecanoe Clubs, to ad- irm the atizens of Balumore. at such time as I may find it convenient to appoint For this invitation and the very flattering reference which you have been pleas-' ed to make to my past political life, I beg you to be as sured of my most grateful thanks.' v I should be highly gratified to comply with the polite request of the stand ing Committee of Tippecanoe Clubs, and to meet my fellow citizens of Baltimore, and to impart to them my : views on the important and interesting questions which now agitate the public mind, and on which-depend the existence of our free system of government, and the prosperity of the American people, but, contrary to my expectation, I find myself compelled to pioceed on my route to the west, with as little delay as practicable, which, 1 trust, will be an acceptable apology to ray , irienas lor not appearing among "-r; fof Waiiam HeOry Harrison and John Tyler, as with their wishes so kindly made known tome in your I , ' m ttnir :,-,;- meaning of the term.'

P. TunstalU Esq. and delivered a speech of unsurpassed ability and eloquence. We but express the universal opinion fwhen we say. that it was one of the most ' felicitous speeches ever delivered on a like occasion; combining weighty facts, irresistible argument, eloquence of the highest order, rich humor, keen wit, and melting pathos. A stenog rapher was present, and we presume will report this. as well as some other of the speeches at length, and there is therefore less necessity for a particular refer eneo to it. tonics. ; S Wm.M. Peyton, Esq.-of Roanoke, was then intro duced by Mr. TunstaH, and although , laboring under indiaposiuon, Mr. P. delivered a speech, in which, with his accustomed ability, he analyzed" some of the most objectionable features of the Sub-Treasury BiH, and ex- r . ! r !Jf - i structive powers, especially in the Executive depart ment, and looked to tiro Constitution as their guide, according to its obvious meaning and intent. He is no "Abolitionist,' either in thought, word or deed. As a Southern Representative, 1 1 sat by Ucn. Harrison at the session of 1819, and acted with him, shoulder to shoulder, in defending the constitutional rights of the South, against the most formidable attack which has ever been made on them ; which, bad it succeeded, no new State could thereafter have entered the Union, but as a ; nonslaveholding State. - But for. the firmness with which he maintained Southern interests in this great struggle, aided by two members from New York, one from Massachusetts, and one from Pennsylvania, the clause in the bill for the admission of Missouri, re stricting slavery, would have been inserted at the im minent hazard of civil war and a dissolution of the Confederacv- The evil was averted by the patriotism and self-immolation of him, who, for base and corrupt party purpose, is now cnargea witn nounng opinions and feeling, favorable to the new school of Abolition ists, who, to accomplish, their object, would overthrow the Constitution and prostrate the liberties of the conn- I posed to' the people many of the abuses of power which try.

No judgment or decree of the Courts of the United States can be en " ' forced against the orders of the President to the Mar shall, in whose hands the process of execution is put. harmless at the feet of the intended victim. ' No man is fit to fill the exalted station of chief magistrate of the nation who has a character to make, either by bis own professions and protestations,or the flattery of his friends and followers. His claim should rest on the solid foundations of well known talents, integrity, purity of character, patriotism and long public service in the field and councils of hi. country, which belong to his tory and cannot be affected by the pen of the calum niators. , No citizen of the republic possesses these claims in a higher degree than William Henry Harrison, the nominee of the Harrkburg Convention, and no man is more impervious to the malignant assaults of the venal press of the Administration aided by the panders who fulminate falsehoods, as the price of their daily bread, than that man who is now the terror of the corruption- uts, and the hope of his Country.- i hat he is a sol dier, brave and skilful in war, let . his numerous .well- fought battles and: victories attest. That be is a states man of no ordinary merit, the political annals of the country abundantly testify. "That be is an honest man, let the millions which have; passed through his hands and strictly accounted for but above all, let his pov erty ; speak. That his private character is without stain or blemish, no hireling; of his opponents is suffi ciently hardened in falsehood to deny. He is a polish ed scholar ; well read in ancient and modern history $ a cnaste writer, and a pleasing, eloquent public speak er. I He is a gentleman of the old aehooL free from ostentation, and of easy access, descended from one'of the purest patriots of the Revolution, a signer of the Declaration of Independence ; and every pulsation of nis nean oeats in unison wita tne nonor, the glory, and prosperity of his country. - At the dawn of manhood, he entered the tented field. and in the wilderness of tho west, breasted the toma hawk and scalping knife of the ferocious savaee. ;He stood by the side of the gallant Wayne, in the day of charees made, and unblushinsiy repeated, in the face of a volume of evidence to contradict therat and from what quarter do they cornel Theyare disignated to impose on the credulity of the Southern States,' and thereby reseat the present incumbent in the Executive Chair for another term of four years, ana tnu. enable the official corps, for that period at least, to revel on the spoils of victory." ' - They come from a quarter unworthy of credit, be cause they speak against the record,' and are interested in deceiving the people by false testimony. But, how stands Mr. Van Buren on this absorbing question of abolition 1 I shall make no charge against him, either direct or inferential, in opposition to his own declared opinions, although with his partizans, the opinions of Gen. Harrison, often repeated and acted on, go for nothing; Did Mk ."Van Buren stand by the Sooth, in the memorable attempt to exclude slavery, and conse quently, the slave-holding emigrant, from Missouri, . . . . a - a rr . a ana to ueny mat otate au mission into tne union witn out this restriction 1 ' He did not He exerted all his influence in the great State of New York, and put forth all his known talent for management and intrigue, to exclude Mis souri as a slave State, and establish the rule which would have made the Southern States hewers of wood and drawers of water," under the omnipotent power of the non-slave-holding States. Such would have been the inevitable effect of the measure, had it been adopted. His face was then turned to the North ana luast. where his hopes of political preferment rested. The Unholy effort failed by the firmness and patriotism of Harrison. The South retained her just position in the Union, and forthwith Mr. Van Buren became a Northern man with Southern principles." 1 will not speak of other facts demonstrating Mr. .

The adjourned meeting was ad dressed at the Court-house by Mr. Johnson, in a speech worthy of his high ' reputation ; and also by Col. Augustine J.

Some idea , of the magnitude of the preparations may be formed from the fact that 4,000, pounds of meat were' provided, and bread in a proportional quantity. The spirit of the Old Dominion was visible in the whole proceeding.
