It was so hot in this City last week, that some one ii i'l i ' ' i " ' ; FOURTH OP JULY. :To-morrow is the 64th Anniversary of American Independence a day, the proudest in our Calendar, ami one which always awakens associations of the most delightful and heart-cheering interest. It is the Anniversary of a day, the deliberations and decisional of which proclaimed the destinies f this great and flourishing Republic It reminds us of the most no ble sacrifices of a patriotism as ardent, as the cause was pure and of an issue as glorious,' as the struggle was heroic. . ; ' : - . . tOa such a day as this, however BtroD fly party feel ings may exist, there will be, as long as time shall last, ! a correspondent National feeling. There will be a grateful remembrance of those, whose blood sealed the immortal charter of out liberties of those, whose deeds famish the most illustrious examples of public virtue, which the annals kf any other nation can produce. j Nor should the! American mind be insensible to the high responsibihtj which dewolves on every succeed- I iMJiri. J ';m.s,J ;in.M- l ing generation, to preserve unimpaired, the invaluable privileges they secured. The moral and political in fluence of every individual in our country, exerts a power to promote or defeat that great object. ; Based u oar Government is, upon-the virtue and intelligence and patriotism of the people, our cause must 'prosper tr decline, in proportion to the estimation in. which those qualities are cherished and valued by the Amer ican pcopfe. - N ' , .

A RICH MOUSE NEST. Threeyear ago, Mr. Johx G. : MAasaAti, then doing an! active business into City" had hia money urawer repeaieoiy roDoea ; ana inougn every eipoui ent was resorted to, to detect the rogue, the effort was fruitless. He, naturally enough, had hard thoughts of hU Clerks, his servants, and even of some of those who visited his house. Finding that the money continued to disappear, notwithstanding his vigilance, he chang ed his place of deposite, and the robbery ceased. Last week, some Carpenters were engaged in re-fitting this Store for another tenant, and suddenly , came a cross a Mouse' nest lined with Bank notes. ;Twen-ty-rive dollars were secured, wholly uhinjured.whilst se veral hands full of fragments remained, ; so mutilated, as : to answer no other purpose than to convince Mr. i Marshall, that all his former mispicion were ground less. 1 i - ' - -"" .

ANOTHER BALL STOPPED ! Messrs. Jamison, Born, STEisaoD, Ttmsiv and Btncm, all Members of Congress and Loco Focos, recently published an Address in the "Globe," charg ing Mr. Calhocn, of Mass. a Whig, with having se cretly apprized the Abolitionists of that S tate that Gen. Harrison was with them in sentiment, and that he (Mr. Calhoun) did so on the authority of a private letter from Gen. Harrison himself, to a Whig member of Congress from Maine. This article from the. Globe and the accompanying certificate has drawn from Mr. Calhoun an unequivocal deniaL lie declares that the five members have. ALTERED a letter of his, to suit their purposes, that he has never ' written . any letter of the kind imputed to him that he has never seen any such letter from Gen. Harrison as they charge and that he himself not only docs not believe that Gen. Harrison is an Abolitionist, but he does not think any other man so believes who is capable of thinking, rea ding or judging. He winds up by declaring that the versions of the Globe and the five members are 'each and all of them, from beginning to end every sen tence, every word and syllable false, and only false ; and that the inferences, each and all of them, jesuiti cally drawn, or attempted to be drawn, by the Globe, as well as those deduced in the address of the five members of Congress, are as unfounded, as the charg es themselves are false."

' We take from the Charleston Courier the following letter, written by Gen. Hiaaisox, on the 4th of No vember, 1836? to Judge Bxaaiair, of Georgia. This letter knocks the last hope from under the tottering Loco Focos. As Gen. Harrison has within the last month endorsed all his political -opinions formerly ex- ; pressed, he stands now before die American people, not only pledged to go as far as Mr. Van Buren will go in discountenancing any attempt to disturb the rights of -the South on the question of Slavery,-but to go a great deal farther ; for Mr. Van Buren never has denied the constitutional right of Congress to abolish Slavery in the District of Columbia, without consult ing either the inhabitants of the District, or the States of Virginia and Maryland.

This is the first day of leisure that I have had: since I had the honor to receive your let ter of the 30th, September and I avail myself of it to answer the three questions you propose to me, and which are in the following words, viz : 1st, "Can the Congress of the United States, con- flsistently with the "Constitution, abolish slavery either of I in the Statek 'or in" the District of Columbia 1 2nd.

Editor It is strange to see the low and dis graceful means which the supporters of the Adminis tration are making use of, to rally their broken and confused forces, and to maintain their ground. The most vile and gross slanders charges that have no pretension to truth whatever, are invented in order to bear against the spotless and unsullied character of General Harrison. However astounding may be the assertion, yet the verity of it can be established, that there are men in our community men who make high pretensions to purity and probity yet, at the same tim e if an opportunity of&rs, if they meet with an un suspecting, Tmt ignorant citizen, they endeavor to fill him with hatred towards General Harrison, by defa ming his character, by falsely stating that they serv ed under him, and that he possesses neither the qualifica tions Tor a General, nor the ability to fill any other station of honor, when, in reality, they have never seen Gen. Harrison. And at the time, when he was contending so nobly for their liberty, they were repo sing in ease and pleasure. Do not understand me as accusing all, who are friendly to the Party in power, of this shameful and underhanded-work ; for I believe ; there are men, who are .unfortunately attached to the Administration, whose principles are of too high a grade, and whose observance of truth and justice is top great, to suffer them to stoop to such base and dis- graceful means of securing success. It is the unprin . ciplcd, the wolves in sheeps clothing,' to whom I al lude, who would willingly sacrifice truth and justice for the promotion, of party purposes. What precau tion should characterise the Whig party in exposing such men, and thwarting their nefarious and wicked ' designs. Finding their attempts to disparage the high and exalted character of General Harrison, fruitless, when publicly made, and that every endeavor to de tract from it only brings to view its purity in a more 4 forcible manner and adds new lustra to it, they are thus endeavoring, secretly, to injure him, by circula ting falsehoods and jrulling the ignorant portion of the community. j : AN OBSERVER. Foa t( Rxsisteb. ,Mr. Editob: In consequence of the numerous ! calumnies attempted to be heaped upon Gen. Habbi- sos, by the mistaken zaal of an infuriate party, I feel it my, duty. to give a passingjiotice to one or two of those base slanders, intending to detract from the fair reputation and full confidence which Gen. Harrison so richly possesses, and the well earned laurels which so si -- swy i.. 4 ' V.nu nV.nvnr. n n.l kt am thnrnnn-htv nn- TCU UKW fUMKiV. nuv .u , vi .w.ww0w., s vincedthat they are base falsehoods. Therefore, it i " J PTPe. or expectouon, to advance any , . , - r e . . . c thing new, or to adduce new proofo in refutation of ... these charges, so far as you are concerned ; but it is ( those who have seen or heard of ihese charges, and - , M nr uaarj f 4u:r tin,,.. nrnv- , . .. .. A ,111 .u- ; en to be base lies, that I most particularly address this communication. To such I would say, I will adduce .1 testimony of the highest authenticity, and if I should . unfortunate to faif ia convincing them that , . , , r ! en. uarnson nas neen uaseiy stanaereu, i nope I shall at least have the credit of being sincere. First, to the charae " of ' Cowardice : In refutation of this charge, I will simply refer them to the published opin ions of honorable and respectable geatlemen, who serv? ed under Gen. Harrison during his North-western cam paign, such as Gen. Taylor, ('apt. Cook, Capt. Snel ling, &C &c. Who unite in saying, Should our coun tryf again requjje our services, to oppose a civilized or Savage foe, we should march under the cam m and f Gen. Harrison, with the most perfect confidence of victory and fame; and certainly the competency of Col. R. M. Johnson in passing upon the civic worth of Gen. Harrison, cannot be called in question." Let us hear what he says :-Wbo is Gen. Harrison ! The son of one of the signers of the Declaration of Inde pendence, who spent the greafer part of his large for tune in redeeming the pledge he then gave of his for tune, life, and sacred honor, to secure the liberties of his country. "Of the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not speak the history of the Went is his history. For forty years he has been identified with its interests, its perils, and its hopes -universally beloved in the walks ,of peace and distinguished by his ability in the councils of bis country, he' has been yet more illustrioualy distin guisbed in the field. During the late war, he was lon ger in active service than any other general officer uhabwas perhaps oftener in action than any one of them, and - never sustained a defeat." All this and much more may be seen in the public prints of the present day rand all without a solitary exception, unite f n pronouncing him a hero, statesman and patriot, ev ery thing, that ennobles man. This I consider testi mony of the highest authenticity Where could we jo for testimony more conclusive 1 But thls ought to hm sufficient, ia the absanea ef all ether, to' convince every Meeting mind beyond thpoWbiEtycdoubvr that this charge is a foul slandef. Sefeond, that he! an Abohnonist ! Arev6a aware;' Jellow-cttizens of f . i I ted Marcus Morton,.

I ii r ,4t- . j ' , . , ; - - , ell, Governor of Virginia, who claims the right for the ordinary Legislature, to emancipate all the slaves m Virginia, without compensation to the owners; . anT the r iMrtv hn,. wt-i Tnnn SenatoV from Ohio, who, after the Southampton massacre, pro claimed his readiness to furnish the Negroes, pow- der and ball to kill the Whites. Now we want to elect Gen Harrison President, who pronounces the most unsparing denunciations against the schemes of the Abolitionists ; he pronoun ces their schemes to he weak, presumptuous and un constitutional; illegal, persecuting and dangerous. He goes farther and says, that none but an incarnate devil can look upon the movements of the party with out horror. This is the man, I say, the honest and plain farmer of North Bend, we wish to call, and we hope the people will call upon once more to leave his retirement and to climb once more the dangerous crags of an eminent political station. . They have called for him who has filled the measure of his country's glory. Now, I ask, who are the Abolitionists! Thosewho be lieve in the right of the State Legislature to emanci pate your Slaves without compensation, and who in cite your Slaves to insurrection, by promising to' far' "Mob. OwiapOttihs WMliUUVuWwluiM, those who not only deny to Congress but to the State Leg islatures, the right to deprive us of this species of pro perty without just compensation, and who have uni formly opposed the elevation of men to office who were in the smallest degree tinctured with Abolition doc trine ? The contrast, I think, is truly a striking one. But it is said that Gen. Harrison, while in the Senate of Ohio, voted to sell poor white men for debt ! This is another base slander. A grosser perversion of the object of the law he voted for? , could not have been fabricated for the purpose of imposing upon the hon est credulity of a virtuous people. The law that he voted for had no reference whatever to honest men or to honest debtors, in the ordinary acceptation of the term, but only to convicted offenders against the penal laws of the State, as may be seen by reference to al most any of the public prints, containing a full state ment of the proceedings upon that bill, from its incip ient state to its final passage. The law as- understood by all who read with an earnest desire to arrive at facts, is understood to have reference only to misdemeanors or offences less heinous than those which merit con finement in the Penitentiary, such as larceny, house breaking, rescuing: prisoners, dec. And the selling so much complained t, was only a hiring of the services of the offender for a limited period. It is true, that from the time of selling the offender until the time of service shall have expired, that the relation between the pur chaser and offender shall be that of master, and servant, but for injuries done by either, recourse may be had at law in the same manner as may be had in the case of master and apprentice, but nothing contained in this Act shall prevent criminals from being discharged from imprisonment according to the provisions of the 37th section of the Act, to which this is supplementary. This section, you will find, , secured the privilege to the imprisoned offender, who shoold be unable to pay his fine and costs, of being liberated by he Cemty Commissioners, if they considered it expedient, &c. Reader, if you have the least disposition to give cur rency to these charges, I insist upon it, examine the proofs in refutation ; and I feel convinced, (if it is your wish to arrive at truth,) that yoa will unite with me in pronouncing them to be base falsehoods. Examine the source from which these charges emanate, and you will find that they are harped upon more by such prints as the Globe, Enquirer and Standard, than all the rest put together, who ean pervert, with the same facility, that they can manufacture Abolitionists. One word more, fellow-citizens, and I will close. n order to place you upon your guard, and to prevent imposition,! will observe, that I was in company, a few days since, with a prominent Vanite, with others of the same party, arid in conversation, he had the un blushing effrontery to deny that the Standing Army of 200,000 men, recommended by the President, was a measure ofVan's ; but stated that it was started by the Whigs, in order to defeat Van s re-election. I wdl ob serve, for your edification, that by reference to his last annual Message, you will find his views upon that subject, and you will find these words" I cannot re commend too strongly to your consideration the plan submitted by that Officer, for the organization of the Militia of the United States." This deserves the most serious reflection of every friend of constitutional lib erty. LOG CABIN WHIG CANDIDATES. Rockingham. For the Senate, William Fewell ; For the Commons, Robert B. Watt and Charles Mat lock. Extract of a Letter from Chatham County. The Vans have made out their ticket at last, but unless I am more mistaken than I generally am in Pot ilics, the Whigs will carry the day by a decided ma jority. It witi Tttot surprise me much, u ins lowest Whig vote beats the' highest Van vose, by a majority of 300. - i From the Greensborpugh Patriot. Messrs. Editoss : In the last number of the W extern Carolinian, a correspondent of that paper says " But, what I wish to know is this whether these people, (speaking of the Uuilford people,) " mean to hold but the idea, by building a log cabin on Guilford battle-ground, that they, or their forefa thers had any hand in that glorious affair'? If they had any hand in it, it is a query if it was not on the wrong side. The battle was fought in Guilford, but not by Guilford. "I heard a Federal Lawyer not long ago, boast that Guilford county contains more Whigs than any other county in the State. All I can'say is, that this was not in 1776: Waias then were rather scarce in that section of country. If Guilford at this time contains more of those things called Whigs, it will scarcely be denied that it also contains more of those called Abo litionists, than the whole State besides.' It is true that the population of Guilford includes, in their number,, a peaceable, and highly respectable society of people called Friends or Quakers, who du ring the Revolution and now are opposed to the bear ins ef arms, and from principle decline to hold slaves; and there were doubtless in Guilford as in the other counties a few Tories ; but if this correspondent who styles himself" A Republican," intends to charge the people of Guilford as being the descendants of Tones, or that tne population 01 uouwro qutujk mib nevota- I tionary war, were Twrici, or are now eidier Tories or ' Abolitionists, I pronounce and declare hn ' base liar No2one: maaif wha ny thmg aBouth tustoryr UuUford,Tould l. - vAi-i- ' a4 .vi . mis wortuiess ancei'try , except from- the eveniaz fallM ftf Ilia AWK nriufdiMuiwi tokiiili .AmAn. idkM Q .-j mhtr rf 'mJL had received at the hands of the GuihW.
