GREAT HARRISON MEETING IN
MONUMENT SQUARE BALTIMORE.

Although called al short notice and without
any previous arrangement, the assemblage OF
the warm-hearted friends Of General Harrison
on Saturday evening was as numerous as we
recollected TO have witnessed on almost any
former occasion, always excepting the 4th Of
May celebration. The audience throughout the
discussion was remarkable for its perfect good
order and attention TO the speaker And il is
but Just TO say that the Locos, who were pre-
sent in considerable numbers, conducted them
selves with unusual decorum and propriety. AT
carly candlelight, Mr.. Fits opened the meeting
in spirited and handsome manner by introduc,

served in the Northwestern campaigns under

VAN BUREN, AND GEN. HARRISON.

VAN buren, AND GEN. HARRISON.
The Petersburg Intelligencer, IN reviewing me
public services Of the two candidates Tor the
Presidency, says
ave have been led into these reflections by a
remark made by Gen. Waddy Thompson, In
his speech al Hanover, on Saturday. After
drawing comparison between the lives and
services Of Harrison and Van Buren,, Gen. 1.
said--sI have il from the best authority that, on
the night Of the battle of Tippecanoe, when
Gen. Harrison was standing ankle deepi IN blood,
and when his camp was Illuminated by one con
tinued fash of the Indian rifle, Martin Van Bu-
rem, perfumed like milliner, was leading OIL a
minuet at ball in Albany" What contrast
is here presented LII a volume had been writ
ten on the subject it could not more completely
have depicted the characters OF the two men,
We fancy now that we can see the two indl-
viduas in their different positions. There -
Gen Harrison cheering, urging on and rallying
his men, driving back the sayages from one po-
siton, and CALAMITY attacking them in another ;
and here is little Fan reekfng NTH cologne and
stiff NTH pomdtnm, as oppressirefy odorJe-
roils as ever was a cvet cat, his dapper body
arrayed in all the habiliments of petit maitre,
his whiskers curled ''in the last agony" and his
Sinking little face distorted by one everlasting
grimace leading off his partner with the prac-
tised ease and grace OF French Dancing Mas
ter. Who can dwell on this picture without be-
ing sckened and Disguised, that such thing as
Martin Van Buren, should ever have been Chief
Magistrate of this great nation
At the great HARRISON CONVENTION and CLAN
BAKE held at the Buttonwoods in Warwick State
of Rhode Island, on the 4th inst, at which 10000
men were present, the following resolutions, intro
duced by VIM II. Watson, unanimously adopt
ed -
Resoired, That the policy and Of the pre-
sent National Administration, in conflict with true
republican principles and destructive of the best inte
rests of this country.
Resoired That the passage of the odius and anti
republican Sub-treasury BILL by an administration,
whose defalcations and extravaganza had reduced
them TO subsistence upon Treasury notes, adding
insult the injuries which they had previously in
ficted upon the people.
Resoired That the only hope Of forming the GO
vernment abuses under which the people and business
Of the country are suffering, is by the remorai of
the men of this administration from power.
Resoired That we have the fullest confidence in
the eminent ability, republican principles and tried
patriotism Of VIM HENRY HARRISON, the
Soldier and Farmer Statesman of Ohio, and that
each and all of US do here pledge ourselves to
to the HARRISON ELECTORAL TICKET, ON
the second day in November next not only majority,
but majority greater than has been given to any
ticket at any contested election in the State of Rhode
Island

From The Sfeubenpi1e Ohio Herald.

fTUH Mc totcuOcHtttc Nfsso N@t' tfN.
The undersigned, original supporters Of the
administration Of Andrew Jackson, and general
" that of Martin Van Buren,, believing that il is
due TO the public, and TO our democratic friends
with whom we have heretofore acted, that we
should set forth our reasons for Withdrawing
from supporting the present Administration,
would be briefly made known:
lst That we disapprove of the sub Treasury
scheme, as being anti-democratic, monarchlcal
in its tendency, (by increasing Executive pa
tronage) and that its practical effect is TO reduce
the price of labor and produce.
3D. That we disapprove Of the warfare carried
on against the currency, by the President and
his supporters, as being calculated TO depress
agricultural mechanical, and commercial enter
prise.
3d. That the President and his supporters are
opposed TO protective tariff, in opposition TO
the practice Of all civilized nations, and thereby
show themselves hostile to the support and en-
enlargement of American artisans
4th That the Government officers are per-
mited to interfere in popular elections, contrary
to the democratic doctrine held by Jefferson
aud jackson.
9Th. We adhere to the doctrine maintained by
Gen. Jackson, !. that the President should serve
but one term
