, A GLQRIOUSj WHIG MEETING, i
We" mentioned in last Tnesday's paper, the erection
of a Log Cabin by the Whigs of Crabtree District io.
this County, and the invitation to attend a meeting
there on the succeeding Thursday, j Accordingly, on
that day, nearly one hundred of out citizens availed
themselves of the invitation, and set-out for the' Log
Cabin, about ten mires distant. When within a mile
of the placeourlcbmpany was met by, Mr.' Jo xxr h a ar
j.nTii.vvi, icutuuiivut uus viuoanu ny mm escort!-'
ed to tfie place i of meeting, " Here we found Ihe 'Memi
ber? of the Cluh, each, designated by a blue Riband
drawn up to receive ns in open column, under the di
rection of Cot' J.T. C. Wiatt andMr. Wiuim A.
HAanisoar, Marshals. Dr. James :H. Cookk, in the
name of the Club, welcomed us to their hospitality, in
a brief but pertinent Address, which havingVbeen re
sponded to, three cheers . were given, and OurTroces
sion passed through , the line to the Log Cabin. A
little time having been devoted to the" interchange of
civilities, and to "slaking the thirst1, with draughts of
" Hard Cider," the President of the1 Club announced
that the business of the day would begin. He said the
people had come out, riot to indulge in excess of any
kind, but to be informed Qn. National Affairs, and he
hoped order and decorum would be preserved. ; And
the injunction was well attended to, for though the
speaking. lasted for more than rive continuous hours,
the attention of the auditors seemed not at all to flag.
The first person called to the stand was Charles
Mavlt, Esq. who spoke for more than two hours, in
the most convincing manner, occasionally relieving the
gravity of argument by a well-timed, and well told
Anecdote. The startling facts, which he brought to
light, with regard to the profligate expenditures of the
Administration, seemed to make a very deep; impres
sion on the crowd, and we have no doubt that the fruits
of the Speech will hereafter appear.
. Joseph Gales, sen. Esq. was next called to the stand
and occupied, it for more than an hour. We shall not
be prevented by any false delicacy, from saying that
we have rarely listened to a more interesting address,
Having bad a personal; acquaintance with all the Pre
sidents, and most of the distinguished men of the na
tion from the days, of Washington to the present time
he had it in his power to communicate a number of
striking historical facta not generally known ;' and the
contrast which he' drew between the Republican aim
plicity of Washington, Jxffebsok and Mabisosv
and the costly Administration we now have, was ,a
most faithful one, and exhibited in strong colours the
corruption which now exists. He alluded to the cir
cumstance Of his having established the first Republi
can Newspaper, ever printed in North-Carolina, and
to the fact of the whole Whig party, (himself included,)
being now denounced as Federalists, and proceeded to
show by various illustrations, that the Van Buren par
ty have no legitimrte claim to the name of Democrats.
JoBir H. Brtax, Esq. next took the stand, and spoke
in a most animated and eloquent strain for about half
an hour. He animadverted in strong terms on Mr.
Van B uren's Army Bill, and pourtrayed in strong co
lours its many alarming features.
Gkorgx W. Haywood, Esq. was then called on,
and he delivered a most effective Speech. . He com
mented with great force on tho sanction given by the
President to the introduction of negro evidence against
white men, and showed by a series of apposite illustra
tions, that if Mr. Van Buten is hot an' Abolitionist, that
he has, at least, behaved with great duplicity.
Gkobok V ". Mohdecai, Esq. closed the debate in
a most felicitous Speech. It was the first time we ever
heard .Mr. M, make a Speech on political matters, and.
he was evidantly taken by. surprise, but his remarks
were of the lugbest order of excellence, and had, we
have no doubt, a happv effect.
When Mr. Mordecai finished, Dinner was announc
ed. Joseph Gales, Esq. presided, assisted pj Jonn
Hinton, Esq. It was a most subsUntial affair, gotten
up in the true Republican 6tyle, "and was seasoned by
that which always gives a zest to enjoyment, viz : real,
obi-fashioned hospitality. When Dinner was conclu
ded, the declining sun gave warning, that it was time
to separate, and each guest returned to his home de
lighted with the incidents of the day. "
AND YET ANOTHER!
Our Log Gabin presented on Saturday last, an im-
posing array. , At 1U o ciock, it was announceu, iuoi
a body of Horsemen fromvthe patriotic District of
Mark's Creek was approaching the City. The W higs,
hastily summoned together, formed a procession with
Music, and marched to the suburbs of he town, where
they welcomed their friends, and forming iri line, march
ed through the principal streets, presenting an unbro
ken column of nearly.a quarter of a mile in length.
Our friends from the country brought a welcome offer
ing with them, in the shape of a barrel of Hard Cider.
On reaching the Cabin, a halt Was made, and the Horses
havine been disposed of, it was very soon filled - to
overflowing. -
Joseph Gales, sen. having been called on, spoke
for an hour and a half, and showed in strong light the
absolute necessity of a change of our rulers. He was
followed by Gov. Iredeli who gave a most glowing
description of the abuses of the Government,' and the
manner in which freemen must redressheir grievan
ces. When he had concluded, it was announced that
refreshments were ready- in the Capitol Square, and
the meeting took a recess. ' iJ
After disposing of the substantial fare prepared, the
speaking -was again resumed; and it has never fallen to
our lot to hear more impressive and effective addresses.
The speakers were Messrs Geo. W-Hay wood, Charles
j Manly, H. W. Mdler, Jonathan Stevenson, rGov. ';lre-.

TRUTH AND PATRIOTISM.
We recommend to the serioua attention of our numer.
- ous readers, the following excellent letter from a
worthy Minister of the Gospel, now of Granville, but
formerly of this County, and a Representative of this
. district in Congress, in reply to an invitation to at
tend a meeting of the Tippecanoe Club of this City.
x It will, no doubt, afford to the writer's many friends
in this vicinity, much pleasure to learn his opinions
on the present alarming crisis of, our National Af
. fairs, and vi e are sure, the letter cannot be read with
out producing its proper effect.
' j ; Granville County, August 5A, 1840.
Messrs. Miller, Oliver, Williams, Hushes and
Whiting: j . . .
i Gkhtlemeji :. Your esteemed favour of the 3d inst.
inviting me to attend a meeting of the Tippecanoe
Club in Raleigh on Saturday next, and address the
Company, was duly received. And I regret that a pri
or engagement deprives me of the pleasure of .meeting,
on that occasion, many of my old friends and fellow-
citizens, and giving them frankly my views on the po
litical questions which are now agitating the Country.
I am well aware, that in times of high political excite
ment, it is extremely difficult (if not impossible) to
pursue any course that will be unexceptionable or give
entire satisfaction to the contending parties. If one
should be entirely neutral, his friends will complain of
his indifference to the public good, and charge him
with dereliction of duty. And if he should be active
in promoting what he honestly believes to be the best
interest of his Country, he is liable to be assailed, mis
represented, reviled and insulted by his enemies. But
all this shall not deter me from the free exercise of one
of my highest privileges, or the discharge of an impe
rious duty. -Believing, as I do, that we are on the verge
of a Revolution, and that the liberty, the prosperity and
happiness of the Nation is at stake, it seems to me to
be the duty of every good citizen, to be active in trying
to avert the evil with which we are threatened, and to
promote the peace and happiness of the Country. And
the only lawful means by which this can be effected
is the faithful exercise of the elective franchise. At
the polls, the People may now dispel the cloud which
hangs over us, or make a successful retreat from its
impending ravages. The election of Gen. Harrison
.will restore confidence, revive business, cheer the hopes,
and. brighten the prospects of hundreds and thousands,
who are jiow .depressed and desponding. It, will give
a new impulse to industry, and rouse into action the
dormant Energies of the Nation. Yea, I think it will
do infinitely more ; it will procrastinate the awful ca
tastrophe of Civil War, with all its direful consequen
ces. For, should Mr. Van BVar bo re-elected, nd
carry out his principles, this must, sooner or later, take
place. His Sub-Treasury Act, his Militia Law, and
the introduction of Negro testimony against w tnte men,
are well calculated to produce in the South, tame sub
mission or open rebellion. Submission is out of the
question Rebellion then "will be the only alternative.
I am, Gentlemen,
With sentiments of very high esteem,
Your friend and humble servant,
JOSIAH'GKUDUP
THE PRESIDENT IN THE FIELD.
The most remarkable confession which has yet been
made of the alarm known to be felt by the Administra
tion party is President Van Bcren's answer, just
published, to a letter inviting him to attend a meeting
of his partisans held at the White Sulphur Springs in
Kentucky, on -the 1 1th of July last, t When he left the
seat of Government, last year, to pass four months in
his native State, though the visit was unusually long,
and though he rather ostentatiously let it be known that
he was travelling as the President of a party, his
friends argued that the necessity of recreation after se
vere official toil was an adequate motive for the jour
ney. 'and objected to any other explanation of it as the
offsDrine of a censorious spirit. The letter to which
A w - ,
we have referred, admits of no such apology ; unless
indeed, the distinguished writer expected his health to
be benefited by " the excitement of composition.
The letter is, plainly, an electioneering document ;
elaborate, and embodying the ad capiandum topics of
the political sect of which he is the head. The ener
gy (not to. use a stronger term) of the diction, when
compared wirh the courtly moderation which has hith
erto characterized Mr. Van Buren's compositions, in
dicates the pressure of his circumstances. Indeed, this
"pressure must be severe when a gentleman of his tact
and;prudence is driven to the expedient of descending
from the Presidential chair into the political arena to
fight in the ranks. It will perhaps have the expected
effect of rallying ' the party ;" but, unless we greatly
mistake: the temper ef the American People, the con
verts whom it makes will be, like those made by his
visit to New ork,againsi him, instead of in his favor.
The letter shall appear in our next.
rrj Since the publication of the above-mentioned
letter of the President, we have seen in the Richmond
Enquirer of the 7th instant, another letter of his ad
dressed to a Committee in Elizabeth City County, Va.
in answer to questions in relation ia Slavery the U.
States Bank, the Tariff, Internal Improvements and
Poinsett's Scheme for organizing the Militia. His dis
course on these subjects fills between four and five
columns in small type.
PROSPECTS IN OHIO.
The Editor of the Cincinnati Gazette says that, hav
ing had recent opportunity, during attendance upon
the sitting of the Supreme Court at Columbus, to col-,
lect information from and compare notes, with gentle
men from all parts of the State, the result is " a firm,
well-grounded conviction that Ohio ill elect Mr. Con-1
win (for Governor). at least 15,Q00 majority, and
carry the Harrison ticket by a still larger majority.
This result (say the Gazette) appears to us inevitable.
In 1836, Ohioave 202,333 votes, of which Harrison
obtained a majority over Van Buren, of 8,501 votes.-r-Sinee
that time numerous changes are known to have
taken place against the Administration, and the change
is still going forward. The Whigs . are now ; united
and active the People-are alarmed and roused, The
oldest among us have never before witnessed so much
zeal, activity of deterrninatioB.'' Ohio will ;probably
give 240,000 votes, and of these, we drink, our friends
aay count upon 125,000 for Harrison."
PROSPECTS IN GEORGIA.
The MilledgeviHe Recorder furnishes the following
satisfactory information as to the propects in Georgia :
" Our accounts from every section oflhe State areJ
or toe most cheering character ; and all doubts in re
gard io the result of the Presidential election in Geor
gia are dissipated. Gen. Harrison and John Tyler
must receive the iUectoral vote of the State, or there is
"no faith to be put' in evidence. Even in Muscosee
county, the chief point of disaffection towards the Har
rison nomination, we are sure that our cause will gain
instead of suffering loss. Among other auspicious
signs, we observe in the last Columbus Enquirer an
able and elaborate address of the sheriff of that county,
C.ol. Bonner, to his friend of the Union party, with
which Tkj has always acted, setting forth his reasons
for his abandonment of Martin Van Buren, and his
support of Gen. Harrison. It is an address, by the
way, which will satisfy every candid and unprejudiced
reader that Col. Bonner is right; and we trust its ef
fect may be, as it ought, to bring many more to do right
too. We conzratulate our friends throughout the
State on our most cheering prospects."
HORRIBLE DEATH.
The Albany" Argus says,that Bartholomew Vosburg,
a man of intemperate habits, returning from mill .in
toxicated, as is supposed, fell with his leg fast to the
waggon and his body on the ground; in this condi
tion, " at the height of their speed," the horses dragged
him past his dwelling, and finally tore the leg and body
asunder ; the latter remaining in the road so dreadU
fully mangled, that no traces of his features could be
recognized. Drunkards beware!
FHOltl THE GLOUCESTER TELEGRAPH.
We give the following communication a conspicu
ous place, and trust: that it will not be without its ef
fect in silencing at least one of the many wicked slan
ders of the enemy.
TO MEMBERS OF the METHODIST CHURCH.
W e ask you to lodk at the following statement of
facts : ' '
Bishop Soule, D. D., one of the most pure and dis
tinguished Methodists in the U. States was asked, in
the presence of the Rev. Leonard B. Griffing, (who,
heretofore, has been a supporter of Martin Van Buren,)
" What is the public and private character of Wm.
Henry. Harrison 1 " The Bishop replied, " I consid
er Gen. Harrison's character without reproach. He
has been my neighbor ; I have often been an inmate of
his family, and I consider his house one of the best
'houses, for Ministers, in all Ohio."
The Bishop is well known for his great prudence and
in the same conversation, when asked how he thought
Gen. Harrison would administer our Government, re
plied " I believe the affairs of this nation would be as
well administered by Gen. Harrison as by President
Van Buren, or any of his friends.
Mr. Griffing is extensivelyknown in all his region
of country, and he had the magnanimity and manly in
dependence to communicate to the writer the fore
going facts.
The documents to which we refer are subject to as
many constructions and misconstructions as the Chris
tian's Bible." Extra Globe.
Read that, fctruwcTcrzens. me documents and
speecttesher referred to are Gen. Harrison's letters and
speeches explanatory of his political sentiments. Amos
Kendall says, that these letters and speeches are as
vague, uncertain, and unintelligible as the word of
God!!!
Let a nation's curse follow the hoary-headed blas
phemer to his grave. Print ice.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Arkansas, lo
his friend in Washington city, dated the 18th ult.
The young men of this State held a
Convention at this place on the 12th instsnt, and no
language can convey an adequate idea of the exhila
rating spectacle which was presented ,on that day. It
is true we cannot boast, like some of our old and densely-populated
sister States, of having had a Conven
tion of twenty, or fifteen, or ten, or even five thousand ;
yet, as the infant of the Union, with a small and scat
tered population, not much given to pageantry, we
think we may justly boast of a great and glorious gath
ering of freemen in the one' thousand Log Cabin
Boys' who have assembled, at this busy season of the
year, to pronounce condemnation against the men and
measures which have deranged our currency, prostra
ted .the industry of bur country, trampled upon our
rights, and which now threaten the total subversion
of the precious institutions under which we live. The
spectacle was -one which must be seen to be fully ap
preciated. No mere combination of words can des
cribe the electric feeling the mute eloquence of the
heart beaming from the eye the glowing countenance,
or the hearty and heart-stirring response of the assem
bled multitude to the thrilling appeals of patriotic elo
quence. Added to this, music, and painting, and po
esy and beauty, blended their attractions to heighten
the fascination of the scene ; for, be it understood, the
Tippecanoe Club of Pulaski county had a Banner, the
painting of which would vie with any in the Union ;
and the Delegates from the counties of Independence
and Pulaski carried banners presented them by the la
dies, which exhibited specimens of the handiwork of
the fair portion of our Log Cabin citizens that cannot
be surpassed.
A CiHi. As my - determination to abandon the
administration and support Gen. Harrison has occa
sioned so many unkind and ungentlemanly remarks
from the party which support it in this place, some of
whom have ventured to impeach my motives, I deem
it a duty to myself and my friends, and the public gener
ally, to say in this public manner, that I have been in
fluenced by no sinister or selfish motives.- I have no
interest in leaving the administrat ration party and
giving my vote to William H. Harrison, except the
common interest in the welfare of our beloved and
once happy and prosperous country, which. I firmly
believe is now brought to the very verge of destruction
by the intngae and dishonest manoeuvres of the lead
ing Van Buren men and office-holders, who have
their own emolument, and that alone, in view ; and
who, I believe, would sacrifice- our country," with all
the .blood-bought privileges which our. fathers be
queathed to us, to accomplish their selfish purposes
men who would destroy the ielectjve franchise to re
tain themselves and their friends in office, and still
claim the name of Democrat ! .
I remember no act of my life which my conscience
better approves, than leaving a party which has men
for leaders who, while calling themselves Democrats,
are monarchs in principle, and whose whole course
tends towards establishing a hereditary government
and who are base enough to use the term Deijiocracy
to accomplish the most aristocratic and anti-republican
measures.
It is well known in this cemmunity tha I have
been an ardent supporter iofj SAndrew Jackson and
Martin Van Buren. I gave them my ; vote because I
thought ihey were republicans, and in favor of a De
mocratic government,; and I have gone, with the par
ty until, in my opinion, the shadow of Democracy
does not rest upon them ; ; until they have abandoned
every principle which they have professed support,
and forfeited every . promise they haye made, to the
people ; and I would here say-to my former political
friends who have been so boisterous in condemning me
for leaving their party, that while I am in a! free conn
. try. I must claim the privilege which our constitution
guarantees, of thinking for .myself, and acting accord
ing to the dictates of my own judgment, their efforts
and their censure to the contrary ftotwithstAnding.

BUNKER HILL MONUMEt. .; -v.
A meeting of the Ladies and Gentlemen of Cam
bridge was held at the Hall of . the Middlesex High
School, on the evening of the thirtyfirst July. The
meeting was called to order by Isaac Livermore S.
T. Buckingham was appointed Chairman, and Dr.
Wellington, Secretary. 'The following remlutions,
moved by C. G, Pickman', and seconded by I. Liver
more were unanimously passed ; : r " "
. 1. Considering That it is essential to preserve the
memory of the" past, 'to the" end that we . may gather
consolation for the present hope and stremrth for the
future, thus bringing' the different relations of ti roe into 1
one image ot. that . duration without end,' which awaits
us all ; and, byiriemoriala of the departed;- speaking '
through the senses to the souL thus gathering strength
even from the very greatness which hath passed away,
confined in these feelings by the universal and con
tinues 'support of all ages
Resolved, That it is fit and proper to erect memorials
of the dead. . . s .
2. Considering The extraordinary effort ' of the
men who fought oh Bunker Hill, making it, as it were
the corner stone of the Revolution, a stone consecra
ted by the costly libation of the mrriots'Tjrooid
Resolved, That it is most fit and proper to erect a
memorial to their memory. . i
3. Considering That; as well in the daily vicissi
tudes of life, as at times requiring great effort,-the best
earthly strength of man is drawn from that help, meet
for him, which the goodness of his Creator has given,
considering more especially, now constantly the
arm of the warrior has been nerved : for battle, and his
spirit supported by the prayers of woman,- hdw much
he is indebted in his moments of weakness, to her
quiet and unfailing spirit of endurance, and hope- and
faith. , -
Resolved, That it is most fit that the influence of
woman should, in this duty of devotion to the dead,
and to the living who fought on Bunker-Hill, be call
ed in ; that the weakness of; man may re Dose on her
strength. . . ..
We, therefore, the men of Cambridge, will do what
in Us lies, to assist in the erection of a Monument on
Bnnker-Hill, in such manner and to such extent as
the women of Cambridge may hereafter determine.
A Committee of Ladies was then appointed to car
ry into effect the Resolutions of the meeting, and the
proceedings ordered to be published. "

nominate a Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and 42
electors. The present State incumbents will be t&
nominated, I presume, for I hear of rto objections. ' '
Our Locofoco (city) fellow-citizens have had a
strange freak within a day 6t two, viz : the celebration
ot the gallant defence of Fort Stephenson during :the
last war by CoL Croghan. They have taken it into -j
their beads to form " a Croghan .Association.7 They
abuse Gen. Harrison in the most approved style of
Mr. Kendall, but they are not over-laudatory of the
brave Croghan. They will gamabout as much in
this as in bringing Col. Johnson on here and proba
bly no more - ' :!

offers you a true-hearted farmer, who is ready to mow
on his farm, or fight, or perform the duties of Presi
dent for his country, just as you say. Would it not
be well for the People, to let the old Farmer try his
flail at Washington 1 We think there would be a
sbaking among the dry bones. Bangor Whig.
GEN. HARRISON. ,
While surrounded by all that is most flattering to a
noble heart, fame, the certain evidence, of the love and
esteem of his countrymen, and the sure prospect of
the richest and most glorious reward which they bes
tow upon him for his past faithful and devoted servi
ces to his country, private griefs hang heavily upon
his spirit. Heaven, as if to remind him of the empti
ness of earthly honors, is visiting hinv with afflictions
in the domestic circle. He .has buried, since 1835,
three sons ; recently he had consigned to the grave
another, a young and promising son "just entering-
the age of manhood ; . his youngest and only re
maining one is suffering from a severe wound ; his
wife, the participator in all the varied vicissitudes of
joy and sorrow of his eventful Efe, still continues dan
gerously ill, and, il is feared, is about to be taken from
him. V. Y. Express. . . -

AMILT ONIAN SYSTEM. -7e
Language tau Hit tA Fifty Leaso7la.t.
uaiilton, a native of France, and sou of the late
author of this systen, respectfully announces to the
inhabitants of Raleigh aiiJ its vicinity, that he is now
ready to meet the classes of Ladies and Gentlemen,
for the purpose of communicating a knowledge of the
above useful and fashionable language. Mr. H. does
not deem it necessary to enter into all. the details of
this system in an advertisement, He has brought
with him upwards oftwefye letters of intioductiotkto
some of the most respectable families in the place,
it will therefore be enough to say that oif tliis syslem
such a knowledge of the French ..Language' may
be acquired as to . enable tbe pupil : to read,
pronounce and understand any French author with
ver nearly the same facility and pleasure as if in
English, in twenty, four lessons, to write it with
grammatical accuracy and to speak it if not with the '
fluency of a Frenchman, at least with Correctness and
purity in fifty lessons. ;
The course is divided into six sections, and toeoch
section1 a corresponding degree of proficiency is attri
buted. The first section comprehends the Gospel ot
?t. John, in which if the inflections of the verbs be
counted there will be found nearly nine thousand dif
ferent words. E very pupil will at the fnl of eight
lessons have a perfect knowledge of It, so' as not to
fear (he competition of an adept ini the language, in
translation and pronunciation. A: pVoficiency equal
ly astonishing is attached to the second section and
in the third, or in twenty four lessons the learner
will be enabled to read and translate with nearly the
same pleasure as in English any" book in the Ian
gaage. The fourth, fifth and sixtii aocipms are de
voted to writing and speaking, which Mr.- H. pro
mises his puptU they shall then di with parity,
