4MovEMENT IN THE CENTRE"
An Immense wing meeting has recently
been held IN Washington city, Immediately |
under the nose Of the President, at which the
most enthusiastic demonstration was made IN
favor of Gen. Harrison. The following sum-
mary, we take from the Richmond Wing:
A movement in the centre.
The Washington papers contain an account
Of a large and enthusiastic meeting IN w ASH.
mgtom Of the opponents of the present Admin
istration. Such members, such zeal ana en-
thusiasm. have never been exhibited by The
citizens Of the ten miles on any former occa-
sion. The InteFhpencer asserts that $50 great
an assemblage was never before known IN TINS
CITY. The multitude met, too, in detiance OF
the admonition-we might say, the menaces--
published in the official organ ofthe Admins
tration, and IN spite q other efforts OF Govern
ment agents to deter and dlssuade citizens
from attending"
We concurin the conclusions of the INTEL
lig sncer, that "such meeting, held at the
Nationa. Capitol, under the very shadow of
Executive power, and under every temptation
to acouesce in Executive conduct, is the
most striking immagnable proof of the depth
and sincerity and unanimitg of the condemna-
ton with which the misrule of the administra-
ton is viewed by the people of this district
and as such. It must and will exert powerful
moral influence from one end of the Union to
the other. It is moreover an indication not to
be mistaken. Of the state OF public feeling
throughout the country, and as such, corobo-
rates the reports which reach us daily from all
quarters of the Union of the immense revolu-
ton in public sentiment, and of the great on
ward movement of the People every where
in favor of Harrison and Reform roclaiming
in voice not to be misunderstood, that the
days of Imposture. Imbeciity and Uniaithful-
ness are numbered
The OlympGid from Havre which arrived at
Charleston on the 20 instant W hence she sail
led on the 90 December, brings accounts of a
great decline in thu price of cotton.
fl The Legislature of New York have passed
resolutions condemnatory of the Sub Treasu-
ry-by vote of 16 to 9 in the Senate, and
90 to 7 in the House. The famous Sub-Treas
urers Swartaoout and Price lived in that
J State.
CoNGREss.--From this body there is no.
thing that would interest our readers at all.
few dull speeches are occasionally made, and
much time spent in settling points of order
and upon the whole, there is much apprehen.
sion that the country win not be benefited by
the deliberations of the present session.

Mr.. RIvEs, of Virginia, has addressed long
and splend d letter to the editor of the Jeffer
sonian Republican, fully defining his position
declaring for Genl. HARRISON, and condemna
tory ofthe ruinous policy of the present admin

have room.

= who travelled through South Carolina ant
Georgia., assures us that the most lively feel
Q ings prevail in those States in favor of tn
y 'Hero of the Thames" Indeed, upon tn
e whole it is very doubtful if Mr. Van Bure
gets either one of those States after all-for tn
e people reason in tins way, "If he cannot carr
= his own State-New- York-they cannot sup
S port him"
