etor, could not be held by the titles derived from
the purchasers on account Of some irregularity
IN the proceedings. The legal title was in Ge
neral Harrison and another gentleman, who
were the heirs al law. This tract Of land was
exceedingly valuable, and would have consti-
tused princely estate for both these heirs had
they chosen TO insist on their legal rights or
they might have made some amicable arrange
ment with the purchasers, 10 which they would
gladly have assented, and have retained al least
one half Of this property, by giving up the re-
mainder. But General Harrison had never yet
suffered his interest to blind his true sense Of
justice and hgh-minded honor, nor did he in
this instance. On being informed Of the situa-
ton OF this property, he obtained the assent Of
his co-heir, and Immediately executed deeds in
fee simple to the purchasers, without claiming
any consideration except the triiing difference
between the actual value Of the land when sold
and the amount paid at the sheriff. sale. There
were in this tract, too, twelve acres Of General
Harison's private property by donation from his
father-in-law which had been improperly in
Guided in the sale, and which he might have re-
tanned both legally and equitably but such was
his nice sense Of honor and scrupulous regard
for the rights of others, that he suffered even
these twelve acres to be included in the deed
given TO the purchasers. This portion of the
land thus relinquished by General Harrison, is
now worth more than one hundred thousand
dOLiars!
The following sentiment was offered by Ge
neral Harrison at pnblic entertainment:
The People will remember, that to preserve
their liberties, they must do their ocn roting,

Men Of the North of the South, of the East and
the West, meeting here upon central ground
and for common purpose, could not remain to-

Such general gatherings as the one just held
together with the intercourse promoted by the
internal communications open through all parts OF
the country, and connecting the same by the rela-
tons ofbusiness and ofmutual interest, must have
beneficial effect in strengthening the AMERICAN
feeling, which we all participate in. as members
Of one national family, descendants of one blood
co-workers in the cause of freedom, and inheri-
tors Of common glory. For ourselves, we
never felt this elevated sentiment more deeply
than when listening to Mr.. PREsros of SoUTH
CARoLanA, when he addressed the Southern
delegates assembled in Washington Hall, on
Tuesday evening. after the adjournment Of the
Convention. When he spoke of the Union of
these States-how dear il was TO him and to
every American heart, the solemnity Of his tone
as well as the impressiveness Of his words, begat
a reverential stiffness throughout the crowded
assembly, which continued for a moment after
he had paused, and was then followed by spon-
taneous burst OF applause and three hearty
cheers for the Union.

MAINE is COMING.

We give place to the subjoined letter from
Hon. JOHN RUGGLEs, in answer to an invitation
TO attend the National Convention of Young
Men, held at Baltimore, on Monday. Mr.. Rug
giles was staunch supporter of General Jack
son and an advocate Of the election of Mr.. Van
Buren,. We will let him give his own reason
for Withdrawing his support from the President.
GENTLEMEN.-I have received the invitation
to attend the sittings of the National Conven-
ton of the Wing Young Men, as one of its
guests" with which you have honored me- ''in
behalf of the Delegates from the City of Balti-
more" 1t would afford me great satisfac-
ton to be present on that interesting occasion,
would my public duties permit.
The necessity of change Of measures with
view to the relief of people suffering be-
yond any former example, is now manifest to all,
If not acknowledged by all. No small portion
Of those who aided in bringing into power the
present incumbent of the Executive chair, have
witnessed with painful disappointment, the per-
tnacity with which he has perseyered in forcing
upon the country system of measures destruc-
tive Of its best interests and ruinous to the en-
terprise and business of the people. And they
have resolved, as the only means left, of stay
ing the progress of these measures, to aid in
calling from retirement distinguished citizen,
whose enlightened patriotism, great practical
wisdom and sound republican principles, have
secured LOT hlm the nlgneSt respect ana CONN
dence. The name Of Harrison has animated
the whole country with hope. 1t has reused an
enthusiasm which pervades all grades and
classes Of the people. That enthusiasm, chas-
tened by wise counsels, and hallowed by pa
triotism, will be the animating principle Of the
National Convention."
Rejecting, as its members will, the prime iples
and feelings Of the great majority of the people
throughout the Union, their deliberations will be
no less national in their character than patriotic
in their design; and will tend, it is confidently
believed, to harmonise and invigorate the efforts
of the nation to place the Executive government
in the hands of one who has never yet disap-
pointed the expectations of his country He
who, by his bravery in the field, redeemed the
honor Of the nation, when betrayed by treachery
and cowardice, will not fail to correct by his
wisdom and prudence, the errors of the Go
vernment under which the country is severely
suffering.
Thanking the Delegates from the City of
Baltimore" for their gratifying invitation, and
you, gentlemen, for the acceptable terms in
which it is conveyed, have the honor to be,
with sincere regard,
Your obedient servant
JOHN RUGGLES.
To Nelson Poe, Esq. and Others
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1840-05-12
From the baltimore American.


There is one fact worthy of notice in connec-
ton with the late assembling of SO many hume
rous delegations in our city, from various quar-
tiers, constituting altogether vast concourse OF
people Il is that the gathering of such a crowd
on that occasion illustrates the ease and expedi-
ton with which large bodies OF men may be
concentrated on one point in case Of need, in
time of war. BY fitting up burden cars with
seats the proprietors Of the railroad lines con-
nected with this city found no difficulty in trans
porting all that applied for passage; and with
some additional preparation, no doubt, three or
four times the number could have been conveyed
on short warning BY means of steamboats,,
transportation by water was effected with equal
ease. If, as was the case during the last war,
an attack on Baltimore should be threatened by
a hostile force, there is no doubt but that an
army of fifty thousand men from the interior of
Pennsylvania and Virginia, from the counties
of our own State, and from the neighboring
cities and towns, might be concentrated here in
few days with all necessary stores baggage,
ammunition, DC.
Like many other great improvements which
have resulted in the accomplishment of impor-
tant social and moral changes, though devised
at first for the attainment Of individual purposes
only, the system Of internal communication now
extending itself in every direction throughout
the Union by means OF railroads, canals, and
steam power, will, in the end, be productive of
consequences little thought of by those who pro-
iected such improvements, chiefly for facilitating
trade and enhancing the value of property. We
may refer again to the late Convention TO Illus
trate some Of these. Who can doubt that the
results Of the mutual acquantances formed by
representatives from States situated far apart
will be otherwise than beneficial in their nilu-
ences upon the integrity of the Union2 What
Wing of the Southern or Middle States could
look upon the fine specimen Of MASSACHUSETTS,
as il was exhibited in her delegation of thou
sand or twelve hundred of her sons, without
feeling increased respect for the name of the
old Bay State--which has shone a steady orb
through the storms and connections OF near a
hundred years, illumined by the glory OF battles
where freedom was fought for, and by the bril-
liant light emanating from her constellation OF
noble names 2
If there had been any doubt of the veneration
in which VIRGINIA is held throughout the Re
public, and Of the deep interest with which her
movements are regarded, such doubts could have
been entertained no longer amid the demonstra-
tons of enthusiasm on every side with which
her recent victory was haied-every one seem
ing to regard il as a confirming omen, under
whose auspices the Wings Of every State might
confidently look forward to ultimate triumph
