Republican in reply to an article from
the Lyucbburg Virginian
"We assure our friends in Virginia
that the White and Harrison electoral
,icke. will prevail in November. There
need be no fears as to the result. The
man of Undertook can never receive
the vote Of this state. The friends Of
Hsrrison and White are working to-
| ge,her, heart and hand. The contest
| is anima,ed--.he spoilsmsn are becom-
! ing powerless. The people will assur-
eddy triumph Missouri will profit by
the strenuous exertions of her sister
slave holding commonwealth. She
will stand, side by side, in the coming
| contest, with Louisiana, N. Carolina,
| Alabama, and old Kentucky. We ad-
iure our friends to lay all their doubts
aside, and place our citizens among the
unflinching opponents Of Martin Van
Buren,"
Thus it is, the states are one by one
throwing off the Van Buren yoke /; and
in the end it will be chance if he
receives the electoral vote Of more than
half those which have been heretofore
confidently relied upon by his friends.
The Jackson maxim of Glove me, love
my dog" cannot be received in the
west.-,he people are too fond ofjudg-
ing for themselves, and the better they
understand the attempt at official die
tatioD, the more they spurn the au-
thors. Our friends in the east may
rest assured that the whole west and
south are awakening to their best in
teres.s-they are arousiog from their
lethargy, and the consequence will be,
a desth-bIow to tho hopes Of the little
magician.-Wheel. Gag.
U The last place of arrival Of Gen.
HAnaisoN that we have noticed, is at
Reading, Pa, which he reached on the O.
vening of the Sd inst. He was met at the
borders of Berks county, by q committee
Of about fifty persons in carriages, and
about nine miles from Reading, by aevs-
raj huadreds, swelling as they approach
ed the town, and oil the road he was
greeted by long continued huzzas. A
correspondent Of the Philadelphia Inaui-
rer thus adds,
Approaching Reading, the military
under arms received the conquering
hero in open column, presenting the
most picturesque appearance, the num-
berless lights rejecting on their arms
and rich uniform. The Generals
carriage passed through their columns
under salute, halting at the extremity
Of their line, when the companies pass
ed him, leading the way into town.
AT this point you would have supposed
that the entire population had turned
out en- m,asss. Thousands pressed up
on thousands, with lighted Aambeaux,
all anxious to catch glimpse at the
features ofth weatherbeaten old hero
men, women and children surronn-
ded him ina dense mass to the number
of many thousands, marching on to his
lodgipgs-cannon firing, bells ringing,
and all cheering him with loud huzzas
and welcomes to Reading-ladies ap-
pea,ing at the illuminated windows,
waving white handkerehiefs, all az
companied by band Of music playing
with great spirit "Hail 10 the Chief
who in triumph advances" Such a
spirit-stiring scene was certainly never
before presented to the people Of Rea-
ding.
After arriving at his quarters, the
press was so great, that it was with
much difficulty he could be got into the
house-that effected the citisens rushed !
10 with tremendous force. Ia the large |
rooms of Col. Herr, very handsome
address was made TO the General by
Charles Evans, Esq, abiding to his
services, and the hopes of the country,
&c. to which prompt, handsome,a and
patriotic reply was made by the Cen
eral. Then il was announced to the
pressing crowd of citizens, that the
General had not dined; he had travelled
hard all day without much refresbment
that he would then take dinner, and |
be glad to see them all in an hour.
Dinner over, he shook hands with hun
dreds Of citizens, who in a continued
stream presented themselves individu-
ally before him, that cere mony occupy
ing an hour or two, after which he re-
tired to rest. Every manifestation of
good will was evident-bon6res before
the hotel, with continued cheering,
from the time of his arrival until ten
o,eloek-when the mise died away.
