GEN. HARRIsoN's RETURN TO
NORTH BEND.

reception at that place on his return from
Fort Meigs.
The joyous feelings of the multitude,
says the Journal, was much dashed by the
receipt of a letter imparting to Gen. Har-
rison the news of the death of his son at
Cincinnati. The same letter also contain
ed information of an injury received by a.
mother, and only remaining son, by the fall
ling of some timber at his farm at North
Bend. These severe Affections prevented
his joining the large assembly of his fellow
citizens, (Which a gentleman present esti-
mates as high as $4,000, and many on the
ground much higher) in the festivities of
the day. The crowd came out in large
numbers to meet him, several miles from
town. The General was delayad at the
hospitable mansion of Mr.. Warder, in pur-
suance of arrangements, where the melan-
choly news was impaired to him by letter,
without any previous warning of its con-
tents. But even then, so great was the
enthusiasm of the multitude, that their feel
ings could not be suppressed-and to graf
ify them, he passed in an open barouche
through the dense masses, numbering thou
sands of both sexes, who stood silent, the
men uncovered, thereby expressing touch
ing sympathy for the Affections, and heart
felt respect for the virtues and character of
their favorite candidate for the Presidency.
Not shout was heard. There sat the
father, absorbed in such reflections as
would naturally occur to him at such mo-
k,1nn thx, tko..
hats in silence. The flag was lowered at
half mast, and the whole scene together, in
its sudden change from JOY to sadness, was
one of the most affecting it was ever my
lot to witness. General Vance thanked
the people in the name of General Harr-
son, for those demonstrations of their re-
spect and attachment. Beyond the town
Gen. Harrison took coach to Cincinnati,
accompanied by his old companions in
arms, Gen. Solomon Van Rensselaer, of AL
bany, Majors Todd and Clarkson and sew
eral others.
After the departure of the General, the
day was spent in listening to addresses, and
preparing for the approaching struggle be-
tween the people and their oppressors.
MIR. Corwn was not in attendance, as
had been arranged, but we learn that he
has been able to reach his home, with a
prospect of soon being ready again to meet
his fellow citizens in primary assemblies.

This extract will show our republican

"The policy of the Country is, in my
