We witnessed their, performances on one evening, and it is seldom, so far inthe interior, an; opportunity is presented of witnessing such good-acting. The whole cast was well sustained, and the spirit of the pieces kept up to the last. 1 I A GOOD ONE. We understand, that -in! voting for "Vice President at the recent Van Buren Convention in this City, some Delegate deposited in the hat the name of Wmim R. Johxsos. " The worthy President, Mr. Fitts, was so shocked when it was announced, that he expressed the hope that it would, at once, be rectified, kindly suggesting that the vote was intended for Richahd M. Johssoit. But no one would father the vote, though earnestly solicited to do so ;.and we therefore chronicle the fact, that at the Van Buren, Convention, called to nominate a Vied President, a ote was cast for one of ihe most uncompromising Whigs in the Union. SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER. The June number of this Periodical is before us. Among its contents, we will mention Shelley, by H. T.-Tuckerman ; jLetters to my Sister, JNo. 1 ; Inter cepted Correspondence; Gertrude Hoffman; Melhatchie; Tasso ; Mahomet's Heaven. The four, last pieces are Poetical articles, land are creditable to their authors Isabel is a production, evincing genius, and is well worth a place inthe column! of our popular Southern Journal. Shelley, is an elegant essay, and we commend it to the especialattentiori of our readers ; as also, Let ters to my Sisterj and the article on Arabian Literature. We do not meaiji to say, that these are-the only arti cles worthy of commendation"; but we will not, in this brief and pithy notice, pause to enumerate others. But we have a word or two further, to say to the Public, especially the Southern Public! Will you not patronize this work 1 Will you not contribute your talents and your jmoney in its support 1 Will you not aid in establishing upon a firm basis, the Southern Literary Messenger, as the organ of Southern genius, and not only of Southern, but of American genius 1 Let no gendemin of taste and of means fail to sub scribe to this wotk. It has so far weathered the storm and changes of more than five years. Let it now sail gallantly and securely on, in the sunny waters of pros- perity. : . The London Society for . the Promotion of Chris tianity among the Jews, held their annual meeting at Exeter Hall, on 'the 8th of May. Their receipts "dur I ing the year, were 22,420 8s. 7d. It appears by the report, that 300 individuals of the Jewish nation, have been received into the Episcopal. Church for Jewsj and that there are now eight clergyman of the Church of England who were of the Jewish nation, nd 23 missionaries and agents of the society who were converts from Judaism. This society is erecting a church at Jerusalem, with a view of calling back the children of Israel to the land of their forefathers, and was urged upon the meeting, as Christians, to con tinue their powerful aid in so good and righteous a cause. i JUDGE SAUNDERS, AND THE CUMBER- L AND-ROAD AGAIN!! 1 We asserted some time, since, that tjie Van -Buren Candidate for Governor, when a member of Congress exhibited by his votes that he held doctrines diametri cally the reverse of those which he professes on the subject of Internal improvements. We knew that his friends alleged that he had always been a consis tent Republican in favor of a strict construction of the Constitution, and particularly opposed to the pow er of Congress, consistent with.that instrument, to carry on the Cumberland Road. The "Standard" has at tempted to evade the true issue by a system of quib bling which is calculated to be of little service to; his cause. The people of the Old North State are tori in telligent to be imposed upon by such shuffling Nor . is this all. We are determined not to be driven from an exposition of the inconsistent , and contradictory course of Romulus' M. Saunders, bytheJeers and taunts which the Standard may cast at Gen. Harrison.. We. shall defend him in the proper place, and shall prove too, that this real democrat this true-hearted Republican, Romulus M. Saunders, who is horrified now at die very mention of the Cumberland Road who pronounces it unconstitutional, and a measure fraught with evils to the country, actually gave his ap probation to it, and voted on the 29th of April 1822, for a bill entitled " An Act for the preservation and repair of the Cumberland Road." What think you of that Mr. Standard ! Don't fly off now, and dodge behind some pitiful quibble ! Examine the record, and you will find on page 513 of the Journal of the House Rep : of 1821-2 the following entry. "An engross ed bill entided "An act for the preservation and repair of the Cumberland Road," was read the third time, and being on its passage : "Mr. Reed of Maryland moved that the said bill be recommitted to the Committee on Roads and Canals wjth instructions to expunge the 6 th section. Yeas 5 l4-Nay s 115. The Question, was then put, shall the bill" pass ? Yeas 87. Nays 68. Z?. M. Saunders voted YEA ! ! ! The bill also passed the Senate. On the ith May, Mr M un roe transmitted to the House his famous veto on this bill, in which he takes the Republican ground that Congress has no Constitutional power to carry on works of Internal Improvement. The message can be seen by reference to page 560, of the Journal before referred to. One would presume, that after this Mes. sage of Mr. Monroe, who was the head of the Repub lican arly, that Judge Saunders would recede; from his support of the measure. But so, he was too much of a Federalist for that ! On the 6th May, the bill and veto were under consideration, and " die question was taken in the mode prescribed in the Constitution of the United States, that the House on reconsideration do agree to pass the said bill, the President's objections to the contrary notwithstanding 1" (See page 580, of the same Journal,) and determined in the negative. R. M. Saunders r voted YEA ! ! - In the face then of the Republican Message of Mr. Monroe, this candidate, who has such a holy horror of Internal Improvements, voted to appropriate $9194 25 for repairing the Cumberland Road and erecting Toll Gates thereon ! Who, after this, can call Judge Saun ders a Republican Did he not, by this very vote, re- ' ' ! ' i CONGRESS. EDITOR S CORRESPONDENCE. Washinotox, July 8, 1840. In the Senate, yesterday, Mr. Norvell,from the Com mittee to whom had been referred the bill from the House regulating the mileage of members, made a re port, with a resolution proposing that the bill be inde finitely postponed. Mr. Clay said, he had not been present when the Report was agreed to, but was of opin ion the bill ought to be acted on, and moved that it be made the order of the day for Thursday, which was agreed to. The bill, to insure the more faithful collection of the Revenue, underwent further discussion, and was or dered to be engrossed 32 votes to 6. In the House, Mr. Triplett moved a Resolution call ing for a Report from the Secretary of War, to be laid before Congress on the first day of the next session, of the amount of expenditures in suppressing Indian Hos tilities in Florida, shewing distinctly all the several items, $C. which, after some debate, was agreed to. Mr. Pickens, from the Committee on Foreign Af fairs, reported a bill to provide for the expense of ma king an exploration and survey of the North-Eastern boundary, which was twice read and committed. The bill from the Senate, to establish a uniform Sys tem of Bankruptcy coming up for a second reading, Mr. Pickens observed, that owine to the lateness of the session, and the almost impossibility of properly discussing so important a measure, and considering that the bill is not proposed to go into ellect until the 1st of February next, he moved that it be laid on the table. The motion was carried 101 votes to 89. The Navy Appropriation bill w as next considered, and underwent considerable debate, but when the House took its recess, no decision had been come to on it When the House resumed its business, the bill was further discussed and amended, and finally passed 154 votes to 10. Club of the County of Guilford" with a large white Banner inscribed on one side, " Once more to the res cue dear friends, once more," with a barrel neatly represented in the centre marked " Hard Cider;" on the other side was represented a Log Cabin, inscribed " Republican Simplicity," Against Loco Foco Arro gance." The staff of this , banner was surmounted with the model of a a Daeron Plough." Next came " The Greensborough Guards" with their music and Company - flag, and with an elegantly embroidered white silk flag, on one side of which, within a green wrought wreath, were the words 4 Merit wins the Prize;' on' the other side was a most beautiful Eagle with a scroll in its mouth, bearing these words, " On to Vic tory ! !" Next came a large Canoe drawn by four white Horses on each side was a flag, inscribed " Tippeca noe," with another beautiful flag waving over it. Then followed the citizens of Guilford in immense numbers, (the Club have not been able to ascertain their jexaet number,) over them was floating a large blue silken sheet most beautifully lettered as follows : on on side " The sons of old Guilfod" "Against the Standing Army; Against the Sub-Treasury; "Against Van Buren ;" on the other side was " The sons of old Guilford ;" " For Harrison and Tyler " " For John M. Mi,rehead " For Retrenchment and Reform. IREDELL DELEGATION. Next came the People from Iredell, their Marshal reports to the Tippecanoe Cub five hundred and fif ty-one working men, not a professional man among them .except four physicians who were specially order-!jibert and Economy" below, "Old Rip's wake. Washisotos, July 9. In the Senate, yesterday, the bill from the House making appropriations for the Naval Service for the year 1840, was read twice, and referred to the Com mittee on Finance. On motion of Mr. Davis, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill to establish ports of entry at Indepen dence, Fulton and Van Buren, in Missouri and Ar kansas, for the purpose of allowing drawbacks on for eign goods re-exported' to Santa Fe and Chihuahua, in Mexico. Mr. D. submitted a substitute tor the bill, de signed to make it more certain that these goods should not be fraudulently reimported from Mexico, and con sumed in the U. States. After some debate, the sub stitute was agreed to, and ordered to be engrossed without dissent. The bill to amend the acts establishing the Post-Of-fice Department, chiefly to prevent competition with the U. States mail, was taken up ; but objections being made to it,, that it would obstruct the distribution of newspapers and periodicals by Railroad cars and Steam boats, the bill was laid on the table. ed. They had a Log Cabin 16 by 8of the most primi: tive and olden time appearance : over this humble but significant pageant was a white satin Flag, fifteen feet long, inscribed "Iredell" " Whig in 1776 '. !" Whig in 1840 "One more lire, and victory is ours. The whole furniture and accompanyments of this Cab in were in keeping : it was occupied during the pro cession by that brave and true hearted Soldier of the Revolution, General hiphraim Davidson, with several -other Revolutionary Soldiers belonging to Iredell, bear ing on their hats m large figures, " 76. The Log Cabin was drawn by eight white horses elegantly har nessed, and decked off with small flags and pennants. Next to theni came an Indian Canoe on wheels, drawn by four wbiteihorses suitably caparisoned ; on one side wa3 the word " Tippecanoe," on the other " North Bend." Over this Canoe was a large Ball 6 feet in diameter, which was kept all the time in motion. It was inscribed' Iredell :' ' The ball in motion :' ' Huzza for Tippecanoe.' Over the ball floated a large silk banner, bearing the National Arms, 26 stars and 1 3 stripes, inscribed " Principles not Men" " W. H. Harrison" "John Tyler" "John M. Morehead." A more determined an4 true hearted set of Whigs than these from Iredell, are not to be found. They are the worthy representatives of the men who put the ball in motion at Ramsour's Mills. Next in order came CABARRUS. Next came an immense Globe eleven feet in diam eter, with longitudinal divisions of every different col or : these divisions came together at each axis. It was rolled by twelve persons. Around one axis was inscribed ' Harrison and Refojrm :" around the other ' Whig Extra 1841,' (Globe.) Nothing in the whole pageant attracted so much attention as the ball from Salem. Capt.- Seiber's Volunteer Company were in this procession, and appeared to great advan tage. The band which pertained to thU Company, was by request of the Tippecanoe Club, marched in front of the whole procession ; thisJ.certainly was de tracting much from the Stokes delegation, but it gave great.cffect to the general affair. Mr. Lash of Betiia nia, was Chief Marshal fpr this delegation. Anson, Randolph, Richmond and Montgomery, marched under an ini posing banner, of a spotless white field, sustaining the motto, Montgomery. We will stand by our rights. ; ' DAVIDSON COUNTY Came next She was brought up and flanked by proper officers. Oh her banner was beautifully re presented the American Eagle, cutting the air, bear ing in his beak a scroll, on which was inscribed, " Harrison, Tyler and Morehead," on the one part, and " the Union, on the other twenty six stars. On the reverse of the banner, was a farm yard scene, in which was represented various implements of hus bandry. There was a plough, a rake, a harrow and a bee-hive : by the side of the hive, a most beautiful cluster of flowers. On the top part of ihe banner was inscribed " Davidson." Above the hive, the words a- pudiate the Republican doctrine 1 " One fact," says the Van Buren Central Address, " is worth a hundred nrofessions." True.

Can any man be lieve that repentance sincere 1 We care not a farthing whether the Standard will t i - or will not condescend to place confidence in our ref erences to the Journals. Let the People examine for themselves. We presume the Standard, having been so much accustomed to publishing garbled extracts from the Letters and Speeches of Gen Harrison, is disposed to suspect others of similar baseness. Let it be so. It seems natural with him. Why has he not "published the 37th section referred to in the Indiana law, which has been emblazoned for weeks at the head of his paper 1 "Why does he not insert the 9th section of the law in r-Jation to Servants, passed as he admits, the same day with the other, under which section a free negro, mulatto or Indian, was prohibited holding any one as a servant, except he be of his owi complex ion 1 Why does he not publish the wholot Of Gen. H's. letter to a Cincinnati Editor on die subject of Slavery? These acts speak for themselves, and let the Standard remember that they who Iive in glass houses, should never throw stones. In the House, Mr. Chapman, of Iowa, desired that a day might be set apart, after the appropriation bills were passed, for the consideration oi business in rela tion to the Territories, which was granted. Mr. W. C. Johnson made an effort to obtain a similar privilege for the district of Columbia, but failed. Mr. Leadbetter moved for a reconsideration of the vote on the passage of the Naval Appropriation bill, with instructions to strike out the clause making an ap propriation for erecting a Dry Dock at New-York, which was negatived 125 votes to 56. The House then took up the Army Appropriation bill, which was discussed until the House took its recess, and until its adjournment. Washixgtoit, July 10. Yesterday, the bill making appropriations for the Naval Department, with amendments, was laid before the Senate, and also the bill to continue the corporate existence of certain Banks in the district, with amend ments. The bill providing for the publication of a stereotype edition of the laws and treaties of' the Uni ted States, underwent considerable debate, but on the question of engrossing the bill,"it was rejected, 23 votes to 17. . The mileage bill was taken up ; but, on the sugges tion of Mr. Clay, was postponed till to-morrow. It is estimated that about 500 persons were present from this spirited County. Her procession was under the charge of Gen. Means, as Chief Marshal, Maj. Wm, Barringer, Mai. Coram, Maj. Cochran, Caleb Phifer, Esq. Col. Shinpock nd Col. Weddington, as Assis tant Marshals. The procession consisted of a troop of Cavalry in front with a flag then the " Cabarrus Ar tillery" under Coptain Henderson with music and a beautiful flag then a very handsome and well built Next in order of procession was DAVIE, Led on by Col. Caswell Harbin, as Chief Marshal, assisted by Maj. Coon, Capt. Smoot, Capt. Markland, B. Cain, and Geo. W. Johnson. The Log Cabin from this county wa3 larger than any other on the ground, drawn by eight elegant grey horses ; over the windows were hung large cards with inscriptions as follows : ' The Davie Boys will do their own voting and their own fighting.' On anoth er, Martin V an Buren is our enemy. ' 'Because he has always been hostile to the princioles of the great Republican Party;' and because he is hostile to the peculiar institutions of the Southern States.' On an other, ' You will always find a plate and a knife and fork at my table, and I assure vou that you will never. find my door shut and the string of die latch pulled in. On another, People expect too much from the Government.' On another' It is better to destroy myself than to violate the Constitution: of my country' and was accompanied with a large and splendid purple silk banner, 4 On which was accurately repre sented the American Easrle, and inscribed, 4 Davie County : .True to Whig j Principles ;' On the re verse, Candor and fidelity in Public Servants.' The Marshal of this delegation, reports the number in attendance, 400. L And lastly came the ROWAN DELEGATION, Led by the Chief Marshal followed immediately by an enormous Broom. This Broom did not attract less ' attention than the great Stokes Ball. It was made by Mr. Samuel Fraley, of Salisbury, and was. 30 feet in circumference ; and was borne in the pro cession by five sturdy Whigs, with art emblazennient and motto, 4 Clear the Kitchen.1 Succeeding this was a beautiful Indian Canoe, drawn by four bay s of North Carolina, mean to be 4 up arid doinorJ.

The House then again went into a Committee on the Army Appropriation bill, which was debated until the House took its recess at half past two o'clock. THE BALL IN MOTION ! In obedience to the invitation of die Salisbury Tip pecanoe Club, there assembled in this town on the 4th instant, in honor of HARRISON and REFORM, the greatest crowd of People that ever met together in this State. The Procession was formed at the Race-ground, under the direction of the Grand Marshall of the day, and marched, in Platoons of eight, to the Factory Grove, more than a mile from town, with waving Ban ners, under the discharge of Cannon and Musquetry, and accompanied with martial Music. The following is the official Report of this great Convention : Col. Alexander Hoi-dshouser Grand Marshall of the Day, reportsthat the number of persons pre sent was Twelve Thousand. At Sun-rise, the day's proceedings commenced with firing Thirteen Guns by the Charlotte Artillery Company, during which, a large flag 20 feet long was raised in main street, bearing the following mottos, viz : on one side, 4 No reduction of Wages, but prosperity to the Farmer and Mechanic On the reverse, 4 Our Country is in danger the spirit of 1776 will preserve it.

Deer skinsj-racoon skins, and buck hdrns, were hung about the cabin, and inside of it-were many relics from the old Guilford battle ground, such as swords, balls, shot and bayonets. The Cabin itself was constructed with poles cut from the same ground. The' Cabin was followed first by the "Tippecanoe six tine bay horses, l ne timbers or tnis iaoin were taken from the spot in Cabarrus county, on which the citizens destroyed the ammunition and magazine of war, intended by Governor I ryon, for the suppression of the then called 44 rebellious" spirit of the Province of North Carolina. On the door of the Cabin opposite the string and latch, was inscribed in large white let ters 4 The string of the latch ncVer pulled in.' In front and elevated above the Cabin was raised a most splen did square civic Banner of large dimensions ; in the centre of the banner on one side was painted a beauti ful representation of a Cabin trees farm-yard and farming utensils : abovfe on the same side, in very large letters, superbly illustrate 4 CABARRUS ;' below 4 The spirit of her Fathers on the 20th May, 1775, still ani mates her gallant sons in 1840;' on the right of the same side 4 Fort Migs and the Thames;' on the left 4 The Farmer of North Bend ;' in the centre of the other side of the banner was painted a fine half length portrait of Gen.

Next to the Cabin followed in regular order the citizens of Cabarrus with a flag, the inscrip tion on which is not remembered. The procession for med of the people of this patriotic County, both in pass ing through town alone in the morning and returning in the grand procession of the day, marched forward with marked animation and wa3 repeatedly cheered with applauses, which were only equalled by the en thusiasm with which they were returned. MECKLENBURG, Having a small number present, joined with her daughter Cabarrus m the procession ; but their con tingent in the sum of effect was perhaps equal to any other. Capt. Pritchard's beautiful and well disciplined Artillery Company from Charlotte ; their simple de vice of a 44 Hornet's Nest,'' painted on a white field, referring as it was known it did to Cornwallis s ex pression concerning Mecklenburg, after they had fought him all along the road, with the discharges of their cannon, gave great animation to the scene. Then came LINCOLN, . "With a cabin drawn by six greys, superbly har- essed, each bearing a flag, with a motto : The first two of yellow silk, with 4 Lincoln Whigs.' The next two of pink silk ; one marked 4 Cowan's Ford' the other 4 Ramsour's Mills.' The last two, pink silk, marked 4 King's Mountain,' and 4 Cowpens.' The logs for this Cabin were cut from the three battle grounds of Ramsour's Mills, (in Lincoln,) King's Mountain and the Cowpens.

It was borne upon a pole taken from the spot where General Davidson fell, in defending the pass at Cowan's Ford. THE STOKES DELEGATION, Associated with whom, were some citizens of Or ange and Rockingham. These rallied under a large expanded banner, beautifully executed by the young ladies of the Salem Academy ; on one comet6 above was inscribed 28th of May, 1775 ' On the oppoaite corner 4th of July , 1776.' In the body of the field was North Carolina the first to- declare, and the last to Burrender hei Independence. Ori the reverse side was 4 Harrison'Tyfer'Marehead.' At the end of this banner wert 26 ret aadSvhlte streamers, pro ducing a most beautiful effect. mer inscribed, 4 lip s earning. In tne canoe were placed the veterans of '76, and other aged Whigs. On each side of her bow was painted in beautiful let ters, 4 Tippecanoe.' On jone side of the gunwales was, 4 Old Tip, die life boat of our Country;' and on the other, 4 Our motto is Victory : We wont give up the Ship.' At the head of the Canoe projected a blue silk Liberty Cap inscribed, 4 Liberty ;' from the crown of which floated four white streamers with the motto, 4 Liberty or death. ; On her bow was erected a beautiful expanded Banner, the head of which was of a pyramidical form, having on the right side 4 Old Rowan, and on .the reverse, 4 Her guests are wel come ;' from the top floated a white silk streamer, in scribed, 4 Old Rip wide awake.' On the banner was painted a neat Log Cabin,! upon the top of which was perched the American Eagle, bearing in his beak on a scroll, 4 Our Country s choice, our Nation s pride. In the back ground was represented the tented field, with floating banners. Underneath was painted in large letters, 44 For President," William H.

'From the lower corners of the banner floated two streamers, on one f Whigs' the other 4 Do your duty.' Around on the border of the banner were 26 stars.

Let us add to this splendid canoe, banners, stream ers, &c, a company of small boys, 36 in number, handsomely uniformed,supporting or surrounding it in single file, bearing several very neatly finished banners and streamers, with appropriate mottos each carry ing painted batoons, acting as an escort guard to the Revolutioners, and we have a scene truly interesting. Their uniform consisted of blue caps, yellow jackets and white pantaloons. The Club are greatly indebted to the spirit and lib erality of our fellow citizen, Daniel H. Cress, to whose taste they owe this most beautiful spectacle. Afterwards came a neat small log cabin, with a large silk banner, inscribed on one side 4. Hurra for Old Tippecanoe;' on the other 4 Rawan County ! ! Neith er to be bought nor sold.' : This procession left the field 500 strong ; but was augmented to 8 or 900, as the stream passed through the Town. There were 22 Marshals attached to this delegation, who did duty throughout the whole time of procession as assistant to the Grand Marshal. . In this order they arrived at the Grove, where a suitable stand for the Officers, Speakers, and Clergy and seats had been prepared. The .business of the day here was opened by , an earnest: address to the Throne of Grace, from the Rev. Mr." Strobel of the Lutheran Church. , The President of the. Tippecanoe Club, (who was also President of the day) then delivered a brief ad dress. : j f ' ' After which Dr. P. Henderson gave a welcome, jn short but very handsome address. H. C. Jones, Esq , then, offered the following jeso lutions in behalf of the Rowan Tippecanoe Club : r: Resolved, As tbe sense of this meeting, that the op pressions which come to us; the People, Resolved, That tbe late proposition of the Secretary j, of Wa endorsed and recommended by the President It to raise as army ot zuu,Ou! men in a tune of Peace, with power in the President to carry them out of their respective States, in order to be trained, is a fear fur Scheme. It is unwise, Unconstitutional, and would be most oppressive in practice. . Resolved, That the President of the United States who would dare to recommend a law to Congress which would necessarily-affect tne lives .and fortunes and honor of every able bodied man,' between the ages of 20 and 37, without having maturely considered the same, would deserve the severest censure' ; But to re'r commend a law of this magnitude, without ever havi ing seen it, would be a criminal, sporting with tho rights of freemen ! It would show such a Chief Ma gistrate unfit for his station. ' Resolved, That in our opinion, Gen. HARRISON, is a sound Statesman, .a brave and able General, and an honest man : He has disproved every charge of tho I least importance brought against him by bis adversa-? JJ ries ; and deserves the favor and gratitude of the South- . era States. Resolved, That in the Honorable JOHN TYLER, we recognize a Patriot and a Statesman of the School of Washington, and every way entitled to our confi- . dence. '. - ts Resolved, That of JOHN M. MOREHEAD, who ! is here amonsst us an invited RnMt to!ia-v f.K;, ,'! - 1W1 U(U 1 us to speak as our hearts and judgments dictate. But j we will show him on the 13th of August next, in what esteem we hold him. Resolved, That We do not mean to let this State be again given by default to any Presidential candidate : that thereiore, on the 13th of November next, we tho Whig Job from the which will appear hereafter. The Hon. Mr. Rencher then addressed the meeting at length in a very powerful speech. Mr. H. C. Jones also addressed the meeting in a very happy manner, producing by the display, of a flag which had belonged to the Petersburg-Volunteers, at the seige of Fort Meigs, very great animation. Gen. Edney, fallowings-made a soul-stinting speech. ? The assemblage then retired a short distance and partook of an excellent collation of substantial, in which there was no Other liquor than a plenty of 44 hanl cider." On returning to the stand, the assembly wai ' again addressed by the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Culpepper from Anson Co., who had been a member of Con gress with Gen'l. Harrison, in lSlSl-liO. . His testi mony was very well received and highly gratifying to the Whigs. Col. Barringer of Cabarrus then made a very excel lent speech. t And the whole was concluded by a thorough and searching speech from Mr. "Hoyden, of Surry. ' The resolutions were then put and carried by ac clamation. ' The meeting then returned to Town in orderTpre ceded by Cress' Canoe, containing the Salem Band. A large number of Ladies were present, and added much to the interest of the scene. When the proces sion was passing through the streets, they waved" sig nals of approbation which were most heartily respon ded to by the several delegations. The Chief Mar- shalls flourished their swords ; the Assistant Marshall waved their batoons ; the Standard" bearers lowered their colors, and the military presented arms, and the body of the procession sent forth most hearty cheers. ' Before the meeting dispersed, Mr. Rencher offered the following resolution : 44 Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting are due, and are hereby tendered to the "Tippecanoe Club" of Rowan county, and to people of Salisbury , for the very handsome and hospitable manner in which we have been received and entertained by them."

William Polk. " Resolved, That we know Col. PoDt f3lave been ' an ardent Patriot and gallant Soldier daring the war of the Revolution, and that we hold the author of the calumny up before our country men as a base slanderer. .

A CAMPBELL.' ticn of our Federal' Rulers, are too great to be bo me by a free people. rf ;H Resolved, That it was never intended by the framers of the Constitution, that Congress' should have the power of regulating the prices of Jhbor : Nor of com-' pellrng the people to take one sort, of money in pre ence to another. - ! Resolved, That the policy attributed to the Govern mont by some of its friends of increasing the value of money by making it scarce, would exclude from oar markets all articles of Foreign Manufacture. It would in a great degree drive our people from the use of Su gar and Coffee and Tea, and greatly increase the price of Salt. It would be a revival of the Protectee Tariff in the worst form. Tbe Subscribers having purchased the interest of Mr. Geo LUtlc in the above concern, will continue business at the same place, under the firm of Hay wood & Campbell, and they solicit from their' friends and customers a continuance of the very liberal patronage, wbh. they have heretofore received.1; WM.
