admiration of his glorious services in their
cause by raising the brave old soldier to the
higliestgfioflice in their gift.]
" A precious inheritance, continued the
General, has been handed down to -you by
your forefathers. In Rome, the sacred fire
of fabled gods, was ke t alive by vestal vir-
gins, and they watchedpover the gift with ea-
ger eyes. In America, a glorious fire has
been lighted upon the altar of Liberty, and
to you, my fellow-citzens, has it been entrust-
‘ed in safe-keeping, to be nourished withcare
and fostered for ever. Keep it burning, and
let the sparks that continually go up from it
fall on other alters and light up in distant
lands the fires of Freedom. The Turk bu-
sies himself no longer with his harem or his
bow-string. 'I‘o liceniiousness have succeed-
ed the Rights of Man, and Constitutions
arefgiveu to the People by once despotic ru-
lers. Whence came the light that now shines
in that land of darkness? It was a brand
snatched from your own proud altar. _and
thrust into the pyre of Turkish oppression.
Shall then the far-seen light upon the shrine
of American Liberty ever be extinguished?
(No, no, no,) It would not be your loss only,
it would be the loss of the whole world.
The enemies of Freedom in ‘Europe are
watching you with intense anxiety,_like the
far planets of heaven, and your friends are
-praying for your success. Deceive them
not, but keep the sacred fire burning steadily
upon your atlars, and the Ohio Farmer
whom you design to make your Chief Ma-
gistrate, will, at the end of four years, cheer-
fully lay down the authority which you may
entrust him with, free from all ambition. It
will have been glorious enough for me to be
honored as those pure and honest republicans,
Washington, Jefferson, and Madison were
honored—with the high confidence of a great
rioble,just and generous People! (The ex-
citement and cheering continued for several
minutes, and the multitude were swayed to
and fro, as tlieleaves of the forest in a storm-
wind.) ’ .
Inc»rcdulity.—-—VVhat an incredulous set the
American people must be! ! The Van Bu-
ren papers, Congressmen, Senators, as well
as Representatives, Heads of Departments
and other small fry, have declared on their
‘sacred word and lionor——that Gen. Harrison
was “(i cowo.r(l”—"u grunny”—-“no gener-
o.l”——“tliat he never fought a battle”——that
he was not within many miles of the battle
of Tippecanoe and the Thames, &c. Sac. and
yet a majority of 16,000 of the people of
Kentucky; 8,367 of those of Indiana; 2000
of those of Louisiana; 10,000 of those of
North Carolina; 2,550 of those of Virginia
upwards of 5000 of those of Connecticut; a
large majority of those of Rhode Island ;
and 10,000 of the Green Mountain boys,
have all solemnly declared through the bail-
let box, that they do not believe a word ofall
these reports. W'hy this incredulity’.l Sim-
ply, because every imputation and charge
made against Gen. Harrison is utterly false,
and the people are lovers oftruth.

NEwiioit'r, l\/1ich., Sept. 23d, 1840.
Every thing in this Stete is completely
paralizecl, that isas to business. Just at pres-
ent politics are the all-absorbing subject-
every body is busy—..—the Locos at their dirty
work, striving by threats, promises, bribes
and rewards, to carry the State for the Sour-
crout King ofKinderboo_k. The Whigs, on
the other hand, like our'patriot fathers of old,
determined to yield only when they can no
longer strive against the co,mmonfoe——but no
fears for Michigan. She last year, in the
vigor of youthful strength, shock of the em-
braces of the Hydra, and she will not falter
now. We shall carry the State in spite of
all the dastardly tricks and tremendous ef-
forts ofthe Locos. You may depend upon
us for three Electors for “Old Tip.” I am
now busy canvassing our county, ('iVlonroe)
which, by the by, is the boasted strong hold
of Loco Eocoism in this State. Heretofore
they have carried it by from 300 to 350 ma-
jority. VVe shall carry it this fall to a cer-
tainty. Our worthy candidate for represen-
tave, J. M. Howard, is not idle, and where-
cver he goes all is perfect enthusiasm. Noth-
ing for a week after his presence, is heard,
but long and loud huzzas for Tip. The
King party are in a dreadful fever. Their
upper jaws hank down like a motherless
colt’s. Every mail almost brings some news
of \Vliig victories, that starts their eyes out
so you could hang your haton them. Again
I say we are safe in this State. Johnson
will be in Detroit on the 28th inst., and the
Locos are striving to make a great rally to
receive him. '

A PORTRAIT.
We are not at all surprised to meet the
following isolated paragraph, in the Morri-
ing Post, a paper which wears the Van Bu-
.ren flag. Nobody but a friend of the origin-
al could execute such a graphic picture,
such a striking likeness:
“ So artful in his speech, that by talking
with him, you not only find it impossible to
discover his opinions, but you are likewise
puzzled to explain 'our own. He mystijies
so ingenuoiisly, and confuses your mind with
so many ambig‘uities, that you find yourself
in a kind of intellectual fog, out of which he
alone can conduct you. He insinuates his
opinions in such a manner, that you insen-
sibl adopt his views, beforeyou have discov-
ere the drift of his discourse. He doesnot
argue against your opinions, but causes you
to reason against them, and to coufute them,
as it were, by your own ingenuity. He is
generally on the side opposite that which he
appears to upprove——and seldom a.1:ows his be-
lief in any thing, except what he disbclic2:cs.”
. ,Baer,the Ohio Blacksmith, was recently as-
sailed and pelted with stones, while address-
ing a public meeting in the Court House at
I-luntingdon. He has published a card up-
on the subject, in which he says:
. “ I shall continue to spread facts and doc-
uments before the people iip to the time of
election. My grandfather and two of my
uncles died in the war of the Revolution,
fighting for our liberties-—and my father was
wounded in the late war, while fighting in
the battles of his country. I think, there-
fore, as an American, I am entitled to the
liberty of thought and freedom of speech.——-
I aui determined to exercise both.”

Exciting 1ncident.—We saw a letter with-
in a few days, written by a young lady, who,
not many weeks since, was journeying from
_this place to the west. It narrates a very
exciting occurrence which took place on
board the steamboat in which she was pas
senger, and of which she was an eye wit-
ness. In passing down the Mississppi river,
our narrator was summoned from the cabin
by alarming shrieks and great commotion on
deck. On going up she found that a
young lady had fallen overboard, and the
boat in its progress was fast leaving her be-
hind. A gentleman on board immediately
divested himselfofa part of his clothin_g,and
sprang into the river. He reached the drown-
ing person, and upheld her in the water un-
til a small boat came to the rescue of both.
The young lady thus snatched’ from a
sudden death, was the daughter of an elderly
gentleman who was on board the boat-—for-
eigners, neither of whom could speak ‘Eng-'
lish. On reaching the deck, and recoveied
from her fright, she. passionately embraced
her deliverer, and bestowed kiss after kiss
upon him, as the only way she could express
her gratitude and thankfulness; while the
father rushing from the cabin, eagerly prof-
fered upon him a roll of bank bills. These
being refused, he ran to his cabin and re-
turned with a bag ofgold, which he likewise
pressed upon his acceptance; nor could ei-
ther father or daughter be made to under-
stand, or feel satisfied, why the proffered re-
ward should not be accepted.

Petri/lontions.-—-A singular phenomenon
may be seen at the new reservoir ofthe VVa-
terCompauy on the high grounds north ofHo-
ward’s Park. At the eastern side of the res-
ervoir a large iron pipe or cylinder is insert
ed near the base of the wall,by which the wa-
ter may be let out when desired. Through
this pipe there is a constant ‘,trickling, and
the water falling upon various substances,
such as chips, thistles, shavings, &c., lying
under the mouth of the pipe, turnsthem into
stone. VVe have examined the spot, and
found the facts as we have just stated. How
long a time is taken in the process we have
no means of knowing, but it seems to be of
brief duration, if we may judge from the
fresh appearance ofthebits ofwood and weeds
which have undergone the transformation.

A Sa.ilor’s Kiss.-—\Ve were highly a-
mused at a ltttlc incidentwhichis said to have
taken place at the Fair in Boston on ‘Ved-
nesdav. Among the numerous visitors, was
a noble hearted jolly tar, who after having
wandered about for some time, viewing the
rich an varied articles of exhibition, sudden-
ly came to the table of a lovely and rich
young lady—when Jack, after viewing the
table and eyeing the lovely damsel, could re-
frain no longer,‘ and said to a friend near by
—-“ I would give twenty dollars to kiss that
girl, ”—-no sooner said than done—“ You
may,” said the young lady, timirlly stepping
forward, and receiving a sweet kiss. Jack,
nothing daunted, planked the money, and left,
feeling he had made a good bargain.

A Gang of Counteifeitcrs broken up.——
VVe learn from a correspondent in Green
county, upon whose statements implicit reli-
ance may be placed, that great excitement
prevails at the town of VVindham in that
county, in consequence offellows who have
been extensively engaged in counterfeiting
half dollar pieces. Two of the company
had started on Saturday last to go to Hudson,
and on the way they passed several of these
counterfeit pieces; at the village of Athens
where they passed two, the spurious charac-
ter of the coin was detected, and they were
pursued across the river and arrested in Hud-
son. VVhile returning in custody ofthe of-
ficers, on board the ferry boat, one of the
prisoners threw his portmanteau out of the
cabin window into the water, and it instantly
sunk. It is supposed to have contained a
large quantity of these coiinterfeits. It is
said upon searching the premises ofthe ac-
cused the requisite machinery for making
the pieces was found. VVe understand that
the whole country in this neighbor-
hood has been flooded with spurious coin.»-
The prisoners will of course be dealt with ac
cording to law.-Sun.
Imported Liquors.——The quantity of ar-
dent spirits and wines imported into the U.
States from foreign countries in each of the
last six commercial years, ending 30th Sep-
tember is as follows :
Spirits. I’Vincs.
In 1839 3,802,718 6,573,219
“ 1838 2,092,776 _5,349,121
“ 1837 2,672,228 6,350,444
“ 1836 3,524,288 7,582,578
“ 1835 3,395,439 6,523,210
“ 1834 2,511,354 5,139,063
It appears from this statement, which we
have derived from official documents that
the importation of spirits last year was lar-
ger than in either ofthe five preceding years;
and of wines, rather above the average.-
But within the period mentioned, there has
been a great diminution in the quantity of
spirits manufactured in this country.
Dist-inguishcrl Stmngers.—-It is more
than rumoured that among the recent arri-
rivals in this city, are Dr. Lardner, and Mrs.
I-Ieavyside, the couple whose elicit loves and
elopement from England to France, has
caused so much conversation. The Dr. will
find should this rumor prove true, that the
“highly interesting” details of his orim. con.
trial are as familiarly and widely known
here as in Europe. Probably France was
too hot for the young sinners; but that they
will find this country a great deal more
pleasant, we do not believe. Our European
friends will knowat once whether thisreport
is true or not. —Ta.ttlor.

T_/tings lostForever.—Lost wealth may be
regained by industry—the wreck of health

edge restored by study—alienated friendship
soothed into forgivness——even forfeited repu-
tation won back by penitence and virtue.——
But who ever again looked upon his vanish-

The New England Delegation in the
next Cangress bids fair to be one that will
reflect no discredit upon her intelligence and
patriotism. At least three States, Vermont,
Rhode Island, and Connecticut, will have a
delegation unanimous in favor ofthe truede-
mocracy. Massachusetts ca_n,_and we have
no doubt she will, also present in unbroken
front. Maine can send but three Locofocos
at the most, and New Hampshire—but no
matter— we want one dead weight to
keep us from being too elated at our success
Thus the New England delegation in
Congress will stand 30 Whig to 8 Locofoco.
It now stands 23 VVhig to 15 Tory. Can
any district in the country beat us?

Dayton W’/tig Contention.-——The Louis-

sa.nd= ‘Ladies were on the ground. Persons
who entered the place, felt, whilst they be-
held 500 flags floating in the sky, as ifthey

SELECTED SUMMARY.
Aberration of JlIind.——The Captain ofa
Connecticut vessel lying at one ofthe wharves
on the East River, was missing on Saturday
morning last, and nothing was heard of him
upon the most diligent search, until Mond-iy
evening, when he came to the house of a
friend, and said he had been to Albiiny.--
How he got to Albany, or back to N. York,
he could not tell. The last thing he could
recollect was, an incident which occurred _on
Friday at noon. From thattime he had.‘-no
recollection of anything, except that, at one
time, on inquiring where he was, was an-
swered, ‘in .Albany.’—-N. Y. Jour. of Com.
Novel and Delicate Opera.tion.—We learn
from the Boston Medical and Surgical Jour-
nal of the present week, that Dr. Dix, of
this city, has succeeded in an operation for
the relief of squinting. It consists in a'di-
vision by which the eye is turned inward,a id,
we presume, is the same as thosewiiihh
have, of late, been mentioned in foreignjour-
rials. The operation was performed with but
little pain to the patient-—a young lady--yet
with manifest utility, as her vision is much
increased:-—Boslon Trans.
United States and Poi'lug.'tl.—lVe are
happy to learn, by letters from Lisbon, that
a treaty of commerce and navigation was
concluded and signed in August last, by Mr.
Kavanagh, our Charge d’ Affairs, and the
Portugues Plenipotentiary. This is, we
believe, the first treaty concluded by the U.
States with that commercial country, though
it has always been a desidcratum, and nu-
merous attempts have been made to accom-
plish an object which cannot but exercise a
very beneficial influence upon the intercourse
between the. two countries.--Globe.
Trapping Il1'o.tty—Tlie New Era has
exhibited a log cabin, with a “hard cider
barrel.” An improvement has been made
upon it by the VVhigs in the shape of Martin
nibling at the bait! Another scene disclos-
es him caught, looking out of a window
with an imploring expression, while Gen.
Jackson vainly endeavors to upsetit, because
against the door is heaped up a great mound
of Clay. This is literally, “Matty caught
-in his own trap.”-——-Troy Jllail
Great W'orh’I—-1\lr. Bunker, a Yankee
house-mover, has now undertaken to remove
a bridge, on the Merrirhack river, four or five
inches up stream. It contains 400,000 feet
oftimbei', besides the boards and shingles
that cover it. It is 800 feet long, 24ifeet
wide, and the covering is 14 feet high from
the sills to the plates ofthe roof.

Lurlicrons Incident.——As the recent “mass
meeting” of 300-1111 told—at Tolland was
moving towards the place ofmeeting, a Whig
carpenter who was repairing the church in
that place tolled “the passing bell.” A
waggish Loco Foco who was in the proces-
sion said, that all he could think of was,

nor has ordered an election to fill the vacan-

Tallahassee, Sept. 19.—-The Inrlia.ns.——A
letter from Marianna, states, that a few days
since _a small party of Indians went into
\Vashington county, and killed the wife of
Mr. Willey Jones and two of his children.-—
A boatman by the name of Logarts was also
killed.
Philadelphia Loan Compo.ny.—The sum
of money said to have been ‘abstracted by
'lheo._ M. Moore, late cashier of the Phila-
delphia Loan Co., from that institution, is
$1 11,000.
In the course ofa trial at Boston, the oth-
er day, to ‘recover. certain commissions on
money paid out, it was given in evidence
that the Collector of the port ofBoston, is al-
.lowed commission on all money paid out by
him, even on his own sallary.
“ Chapman,” in the Boston Post, just pre-
vious to the Maine election stated that be-
yond a doubt Mr. Van Buren’s majority in
that State would be about as large as Gov,
Fair/ield’s ! ! !
Unaccounta.ble 0ccurrence.—A melancho-
ly incident occurred on Tuesday in Brook-
lyn, which is as yet wrapped in mystery. A
fine boy, only 11 years old, named George
Phelps, only son of Mr. Phelps, of \Varren
street, went from home in the forenoon’, and
was seen no more until evening, when he
was found in a vacant lot near Bergen street
lying dead on the-ground, with a large in-
cision in the carrotid artery, the infliction of
which must havecaused immediate death.
The peurile age of the deceased, forbids the
supposition that he would have committed
suicide, and at the same time it isimpossible
to imagine a motive which could have in-
duced any oneto murder hiin.—J. of Com.
l’Vestern I’Vit. The great excitement in
the VVest brings out much originality on their
banners and in political meetings. At Day-
ton, Ohio, one banner represented Amos
Kendall on his back, his heelsin the air, his
hat falling off] and Extra Globe tumbling
forth. Motto: “Charge along the whole line.”
In one of the log cabins was a live wolf,
with a sheep shin tied on him. Motto: “A
Patent Democrat.”
Another represented Van Buren running
down hill, his locks and coat tail streaming
in the wind, and a barrel of “hard cider” af-
ter him; he was crying out “stop that bar-
rcl.” ' "
Upon another were the letters "K K O K.”
This was too hard for us, and we asked the
bearer its meaning ; he told us it meant hunt
/some 0'1.-cr Kerwin.
The steamboat opposition beiween this city
and New-York, has ceased. ‘he New Ha-

SUB-TREASURY POST NOTES.
Every one must recollect that the Loco
Foco papers, during the summer of 1889,
were extrermely clamorous against the
“Post Note system” then introduced by the
U. S. Batik of Pennsylvania—-that “bant-
ling of modern Democratic legislation.”
The whole Loco Foco press, almost with-
out an exception, denounced the pernicious
consequences ofissuing irredeemable paper
in good set phrase, and declared themselves
the sworn enemies of an unconstitutional,
Post Note currency ! But what do the peo-
ple now behold ? In the language of a co-
temporary, they see their "Goverment follow-
ing the same bad example of the Bank, and
issuing its Treasury Notes, payable one
year after date, to sponge up the floating
means of capitalists, and deprive the people
of the use and employment of the money
which rightfully belongs to them. and which".
they need in the marketing oftheir crops.”
And does this policy meet the censure of the
Loco Foco press .7 Do they sound the alarm
as they were went, about the miseries of an
irredeemable paper currency? Far from
The Goverment, first and last, has spawned
nineteen millions of dollars, in Treasury
Notes, upon the country, of which nearly
five millions are now outstanding. They con-I
stitute a medium ofcirculation, and begin to
enter into the business operations ofthe com-
rnunity—and yet we hear nothing frorii the
organs of this administration in relation to
this Sub-Treasury currency. VVhat has sil-
onced their voice upon this subject? “whence
the spiking of that artillery '3” Have princi-
ples changed because the Goverment has re-
sorted to the use of “ irredeciitublc Post
Notes ?”——Patriot and De/nocra-Z.

The Bombay correspondent ofthe London
Herald says—-Of the plan of operations
nothing is definitely known. It is the gen-
eral opinion amongst those whose opportu-
nities and experience emphatically qualify
them to judge correctly, that, under themost
favorable circumstances at least one year
more must elapse before there is any chance
of the renewal of the trade, and this frorri no
apprehension of our expedition suffering any
defeat, but from the very nature of the ser-
vice—the peculiar genius of the Chinese
Government and people; as even the batter-
ing down of Canton, the occupation of any
ofthe islands on the coast, or the destruction
ofseveral ofthe seaboard cities, would have
no influence whatever on the Emperor. It
is only by entering directly on negotiations
at Pekin that any good can be expected to
result; and this, even supposing every thing
were to go on as prosperously as could be
desired, must be {the work of time; mean-
while the protracted intcrruption of trade
must be productive ofthe most injurious ef-
fects both to India and England. Already
is the market of Canton swept of all its teas,
which were being bought up at most exor-
bitant prices, and the def-alcation in the Eng-
lish revenue from the sliortsupply of the
present, and the entire stoppage of the next
year, will be severely felt in England.
The English merchants were still at Ma-
cao. The American residents were prepar-
ing to leave Canton ; their consul, Mr. Stow,
had already gone to Singapore.‘ The Bri-
tish shipping had removed from Tongkoe to
Capsingmoon. Four British vessels, the
Cowaajee Family, Sylph, Lady Hayes and

junks, and that with so much spirit that after
a strenuous resistance they were compelled
to weigh anchor and make off‘ with all expe-
dition.——C0m. Adv.

steamer, underthe command of Commodore
Napier, escorting several transports, with
5000;,A’lbinians on board, appeared in our
road ,on the 14th. As soon _as they had cast
anchor, ‘they. took a position within gun
shot of the town. lhe English consul in-
stantly-entered,_,into communication with the
conini'arde,riof_~ the British division; he did
his.,ut,most:_to" frighten the inhabitants, and
make them::bel,ie_v'e that the danger was imi-
nent; in consequence it was soon asserted
that the town?_was going to be’bombarded.—-

expected that the high sounding menaces
would be executed ; but it turned out to be
pure boinbast on the part of the commodore,
in the hope of intimidating Soliman Pacha.
Ibrahim Pacha on hearincr ofthe appari-
iion of the English of Beyfout, left Mala-
3a and bcame, with 25,000 men, to Zahle,
istant ut a few hours from Beyi'out. In
announcing his departure from the camp to
Soliman Pacha, Ibrahim wrote to him, “I
have no orders to give you. am well ac-
quainted with your courage, and with your
devotedness to all my family I will merely
observe to you that we have but a ditch to
leap over, and. beyond that ditch IS repose.”
This letter coinsides with a reply mgde by
Mehemet ‘Ali tohRifl'at Bey—“ VVorc1s will
never ma re Me emet Ali give up what he
acquired by arms.’
The weather in England continued good,
and the crops were mostly secured, with the
exception of the hop crop, which was said to
be a failure. -

WHIGS OF FAIRFIELD COUNTY 11
You are called upon to give your attention, on
massc, at a County Convention, to be held in the
instant October. Let your business be suspend-
ed, and all considerations, second to that of your
country, be forgotten in one simultaneous move
in behalfoftbat patrimony which you inherited,
with the solemn injunction to preserve its price-
less privileges, untainted by tyranny's corrupt-
ing breath. Though Connecticut has spoken
in tones that were any thing but musical to the
polite ears ofihis aristocratic and federal admin-
istration. and which leave no room to doubther
allegiance to sound principles—yetlet us not be
behind the age. Let us assemble in such num-
bers as will show to our friends abroad that Old
Fairfield County will not suffer herself to be
among the hindermost in the work of Reform.
It is earnestly expected, that among the able
will be the Hon. Daniel Webster. We have
had no information from the east in reference to
ilie order of exercises, but trust that our Bridge-
port friends will do the thing up about right.
Those of our friends residing North and West
of us, who will take Norwalk in their route, are
requested to be on the ground and in readiness
to move together with us at half past 8 o’clock.
Those of Redding and Weston, will meet the
general cavalcade at Westport, about o’clock.
Those East will fall in on the road. Let every
town have its banner, with at least the name of
the town on it, and whatever device they shall
see fit to use. Let the rally be a general one.
MAINE.-—The New Yorker says, "there is
and can be little further from Maine until the
votes are officially canvassed in January. We
havelooked at all accounts of both parties, and
we still believe Kent is elected Governor by 200 —
majority over Fairfield, and at least 100 over
Fairfield and scattering. The most circumstan-
tial accounts which reach usrgive him 228 ma.
jority, while only 11 scattering votes had been
ascertained. The Journal of Commerce makes
Kent’s majority 146 only. We are confident
that there cannot be scattering votes enough to
defeat his election by the people.
SPEECH or GEN. HARRISON.—-This speech,
delivered at the great convention at Dayton,
Ohio, will be found on the out side ofthis num-
ber of the Gazette. It was listened to 8:. appi-obn-
ted by assembled thousands of the whigs of the
Buckeye, and neighboring states. It is a docu-
ment well calculated to come home to the feel-
ings &: convictions of every uasopbisticatedu hon-
est-bearted patriot. Its sentiments nee the prompt-1
ings of a heart single in purpose,’ unscbooled and
unpracticed in trickery or chicauery, and ever
warm with the kindlings of enthusiastic devotion
to its country’s weal. The speech, like its au-
thor, bears the stamp of the Washington school,
and is a declaration of principles which harmo-
nize with the spirit and genius of old fashioned
Republicanism. It exhibits the old soldier as
be is, and is an eloquent and positive refutation
of the charges which a prostituted and uugrme.
ful partizan press has so industriously and
obstiuately attempted to fasten upon him, We
ask for it an honest and attentive perusal.
We confess ourselves quite at a loss for »
ning, the 7th instant, at 7o’clock, for the purposes:
city of Bridgeport on Monday, theilgthia-ygof...
speakers who will be heard on that occasion, -
