returned to Vienna, and knocked at his WI

but Immediately he had done so, fastened to
the first police station, to communicate the
Circumstances Of Scotti's return. About break
of day the officer of justice arrived, and
finding the door open, rushed into the bed

bawled out the culprit stretching forth from
the counterpane two pistols. 'The first

The consequence was that the house was
soon cleared, and the retiring party heard
the bolts and bars closed behind them. As
they did not venture on forcible measures

PROGRESS OF THE HARRISON
CAUSE IN ALABAMA.

CLARKE COUNTY CoMING.-The Wings Of
our neighboring county, Clarke, are at last COM
ing TO the rescue of our country. Hitherto loco
focoism has held supreme and undisputed sway
in this county so utterly powerless have the
wings considered themselves that they have not
even made an effort to burst their chains. But
there have always been few undaunted, pa
uiotic wings there, who have not been idle look
ers on, in the great contest which has been Tor
wears going on between the people and the offce
holders. and which we fondly trust is soon to be
brought TO a glorious termination. They are
now determined TO Ego TO work" and perform
well their part in rescuing our oppressed and
suffering country from the hands OF the spoilers.
They have unsheathed their swords with de-
termination that they shall not return to their
scabbards until our country is delivered. II does
our very souls good to see this movement Of the
wings, in this hitherto benighted region The
cause of Harrison and Reform is sweeping like
a tornado, over the whole country, and its pro-
gress cannot he stayed, until the last vestige Of
loco focoism is swept from the land. Our intel
ligent correspondent informs us, that the changes
not without hope, that even in Clarke, the whig
party, by November next, will be in the ascend
ant. If SO, which God grant, the wings will
carry every county from Tuscaloosa to Mobile
Inclusive! We say to the patriotic wings of
Clarke-go on in the good work; slumber not
on your posts disseminate TRUTH among the
people, and there is no telling how much good
can be accomplished Regenerate Clarke coun-
ty, and the last, and only remaining stronghold
of Van Burenism in the Southern counties, is
broken up South Alabama will then present
one solid, unbroken phalanx of wing counties,
whose majorities will more than overbalance the
Van Buren, majorities Of the Tennessee Valley,
and the vote of the State be cast for Harrison
and Tyler.
WASHINGTON CoUNTy-Since writing the
above we have received the proceedings of the
wings of Washington, which we also insert this
morning. There is no mistake in Washington.
Our correspondent writes as follows:

THE CONSERVATIVES STILL COMING
sour Banner to The breeze"

We this week hoist the banner Of the /" Hero
of Tippecanoe," and array ourselves for the
war on the side of the People and the Peoples
Candidate, in opposition to the ruling dynasty.
In thus hosting our flag" it may be proper to
state, that the Carthagenan, at its commence
ment avowed its determination to support true
democratic principles as taught in the school OF
Jefferson. Such principles we have ever upheld
and we shall continue so to uphold and support,
according to the best of our ability. We find
that the people en- masse--are rallying under
the Harrison fag--and the great apostles Of
Conservatism, "RIvEs, KALAMAZOO, CLARK,
ALLEN, &C., having joined the standard, we
have resolved to nail the flag of odd Tip" to
the mast. There is great and important battle
to be fought next fall---a battle, the results OF
which will be felt for centuries. We deem il
our duty to do all in our power to rescue our
country from the present corrupt Administra-
ton, and place our Government in honest and
faithful hands. The political retiracy" Of
Martin Van Buren, and the election of William
Henry Harrison, are the only remedies for the
times and we adopt them. We hoist our ban
ner in the assurance that il will wave in tri-
umph. From all quarters of the Union the
People are fiocking TO join the standard Of sHar-
rison and Reform" We are in the midst of a
political revolution such as has never been
known in our country. The majesty Of the
people is aroused, and there is no stemming the
tide of public opinion. II will rush on till the
last remnant of loco focoism will be swept from
our land.--N Y Cdrthdgenidn.

GEORGIA.

This gallant State is fully in motion. Its PEG
pie are rallying in great numbers, and equal en-
thusiasm, TO the standard of Harrison and Re-
form. Gov Troup has been withdrawn as a
candidate for the Presidency. The State Con-
vention of June next, will no doubt, nominate
Harrison and Tyler. A majority OF the Geor-
gia delegation, in Congress, are decidedly in IA
vor of that step. Messrs. King and Dawson
have written letters to that effect, which we
