The 'ap pointment of Gen. Harrison, as Minister Pleni potentiary and Envoy Extraordinary to tbe Re- public of Colombia, had my entire concurrence ; and, besides the usual credentials, I entrusted to his care a private letter to General Bolivar, the President of that Republic. , W'Si-' li I know not on what authority Mr. Fisher has ndertaken to make the assertion attributed to him; certainly none from me ; and yet he; has enjoyed abundant opportunities, during the pre sent session of Congress, to ascertain from1 me personally whether the above assertion was true or not. But never have I had, at any time, any conversation whatever with him, in respect to Gen. Harrison's mission. You are at, liberty to show this letter (o Mi. Fisher himself, or to make any use of it.

We have heard of such fhings, but Veliaye met with no one who ever saw iherrj before. A black cloud which came tip fcpm the West, sud denly discharged its contents of wind, rain and hail, in a perfect deloge. The hail came down at first in small bodief, and ra pidly increased in slzenntil it felL in mas ses almost as large. :zsf man's fist. The largest one we saw measured was 9 inches in circumference, bot we heard of one which was4 picked op nea(y Wice as large. It continued for aboutLiiO niDUte, in which time it destroyed kbe Greater nartof ih . giowmgcrops and gardens within its range, peiteu oown nearly ja,U e fruit, and broke perhaps:! from 20,000 i 60,000 panes of glass m this town ialotlf . Pigeons flying in the air were kncejldow!! dead, poul uy were killed, horsel standing in the streets were frighted! and galloped off in all directions, ani indeed such a scene of al&rcri re have nelerffvitoessedr- It extended over a sSace abotit4jrijies wide by perhaps 3p $ length, in all of which the ground j covered with fallen vegetation or the leave and branches o tress. We hate beiSd jf no person bein: nun. uy. vjus. j It will be remembered that a similar attempt was made tounderate and disparage the intellect fual qualifications of General Harrison, by an as sertion that Mr. Webster had said he was the f pity of his friends, &, the scorn of his foes,' which asser tion was so widely circulated by ihe Administra tion prints, that Mr. Webster ihought it incum bent to give it a public and explicit contradiction. This he did in a letter dated 29th of March, 1840, addressed to the u Editors of the Tele giaph and Intelligencer," pablished at Harris burg, Pa. Here is another assenion of the same character, not coming from an obscure and irre sponsible source, bat grof up and proclaimed as far as present facts appear, by a member of Con gress, and one, too, who was elected under the sappositioo that he was a Whig. The most charitable construction that can be put upon this affair is that Mr. Fisher heard this from some one else. But will this availJiim t It appears to us that Mr. Ciay's letter cuts him off from all apology and excuse for this statement :; He isays Mr. Fisher "enjoyed abundant opportuni- nittes during the present session of Congress, to ascertain frojn me personally whether the above assertion wa9 true or not." If he had wished to inform hia constituents correctly, why did be not call on Mr; Clay and know the trolh t Why like upon himself to endorse and circulate a groundless and injarious charge without any at tempt to ascertain the truth When men of standing and character so far depart from the ine of moral rectitude, what may not be expec ted from the subordinates of the party f - Mr. Fisher in his political address, made ma. ny other assertions concerning General Harrison, as to his agehabits principles and acquire ments, which were greatly calculated to affect bis standing with his fellow citizens, much of which rested on his bare assenion, and which, without such sanction would not be noticed byany Whig Press because they have been met and re futed again and again. Such was the assertion that ; he proposed a bill to give all1 the boys of ine country a military education. " Such the charge lhat he behaved badly at Tippecanoe and die Thames. Went for selling white meh for it.. m oeor, .e. eic. liut aHer the exposure cf this great and fatal inaccuracy, it can scarcely be ex pected ihe People of Rowan will pay mnerj at tention to any thing that tests upon this founda tion alone. ! N. B. The original letter from Mr. Clay to Mr. Jones is in our possession, open to the in spection of any one who chooses to examine it. ANOTIi:.
