A CONTRAST.

this county. He was 0lds feeOle anu IEeusO. ling, and his form bent under the winters oI many years. He had been to Washington City for the purpose of doing some business relative to his pension, in the course oi which he had an interview with the PresI- dent, either connected with his business, or out of respect to his official character.
 During the whole of this interview, the old man says the President was stiff, reserved and naughty. He never offered his hand he asked no questionable spoke not word of encouragement or comfort to the soldier but addressed his conversation wholly to the finely dressed gentlemen who were in and out of the room while the business was trans acted, and let the feeble steps of the old man totter away unheeded. ..-.

 The Frenchman, while on his way up the Ohio river, stopped to see Gen. Harrison, of whom he had heard so much in former times, as well as more recently. No sooner did Gen. Harrison see his papers and learn his history, than he gave him hearty shake of his hand, sat down by his side and con- versed with him about the eventful history in which he had participated. Gen. H. com pelled the soldier to partake of his hospitaIi- ties that day, and in the morning sent him on his way rejoicing.
 This Revolutionary Soldier has grown up with our country. He says that he has vo. ted for Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Jackson. He intends, if his days shall be heightened, to give his last and most cher- ished vote for the Hero of Tippecanoe. yss Huron County (Ohio) Reaector.
 Gov. Runnels, who is said to possess grea- ter personal popularity than any other man in Mississippi, and who has been for years the Ajax Telamon of the administration in that state, in a letter dated Jackson, July l7th, ls40. and addressed to whig commit tee of Natchez, announces his deliberate determination" of supporting Gen. Harrison at the ensuing election. He says:
 "I am and ever shall be democrat, and when those who profess the doctrines of de- hlocracy carry them out in good faith. will be found acting with them, and not till then. I have no political views to subserve, but will, regardless of the source from whence they emanate, continue to oppose those mea- sures that think are calculated to injure my country, and to advocate such as conceive calculated to sustain our free institutions, and spread peace, prosperity, and happiness thro' the land.
 The financial concerns of the country are in so deplorable condition that a change cannot be for the worse. am clearly of opinion that the doctrines of an exclusive gold and silver currency are calculated to produce scene of bankruptcy and ruin, never before witnessed in our devoted coun- try.
 have heretofore been an advocate of the " exclusive State Bank system, "but am now fully convinced that in consequence of local causes, that neither the government nor the people can prosper without the aid of a Ma tioDal Bank-such bank can and will, as t: has done heretofore, give currency prefera- ble to metallic currency alone. l am not an advocate for inconver,ible bank paper :: but for such one as will better subserve all commercial purposes, and which can at the will of the holders be converted into gold and silver. .'a'@ .'-.-.-'t
 In voting for General Harrison let it not be said that aHl sustaining man who is unworthy of public confidence. He is the son of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence; the friend and supporter of Thomas Jefferson, of James Madison, and of James Munroe. He has always been found ready and willing to enter the ranks in his country's defence, and see nothing charged against him which has been sustain ed by proof calculated, in my opinion, to render him obnoxious to the charge of being Federalist. - ~ ,"'
 It is true. that General Harrison, after hay. ing devoted large portion of his life to his country, has retired from public life and sought his ease and comfort by his own fire side, but when the tocsin of war was sound. ed or his country's liberties were endanger- ed, he was ever found among the first to gird on hts armor in defence of bis home and his country's cause." l am, gentlemen. very respectfully, Fl. G. RUNNELS.
 Another Conrersion.- Married, in the Bor- ough of Pottsville, on Thursday evening last, by the Rev, MT. M'Cool, Mr. William Prov. ins to Miss Jane Bond, both of Port Clinton, and all for Harrison
 A friend has communicated the following particulars in connection with this wedding, which he assures us are correct; Miss Bond IS q warm Harrison woman. MT. P. ad- dressed her, but she wouldn't consent to say yes, until he declared for Harrison. He he's itated. As soon as the news of the Buckeye Biacksmith's arrival in this section was an- nounced, the young lady prevailed on Mr. P. to go and hear him-a party of their friends were made up-they drove to Po:ts- vile on Thursday last to hear Mir. Baer, and the Documents" which he produced wrought so strong conviction on the mind of P. that he declared for Harrison, and she declared for Provens on the spot. They were married the same evening-Mr. Baer drank their health-advised them to build a Log Cabin' immediately more hap- py couple has never been seen in our bor- ough. So much for Mr. Baer and his .' Documents" Long may they live in this Land of Liberty to support the good cause.
