Gen. Harrison arrived here in TIE mail
boat about l O'Clock yesterday morning.
Ills visit was altogether on business but a
few patriotic spirits Immediately assembled
and greeted his arrival with continued roar
OF cannon for more than an hour. Through
the day, thousands of sturdy freeInen throng-
ed to the Gait House to pay their respects to
the veteran warrior and statesman and he
was prevailed on to remain till this morning.
Ills presence last night infused double poT-

who participated in the festivities of the rlo-

~ The Richmond Enquirer is re-publish-
ing the Virginia resolutions of '9s-'99, and
MIR. Madison's report-not in penitential
spirit for It's long abandonment of their prin-
clples-but with the sancti6ed air Of true
disciple. and the rare Machiayelian tact and
cunning for which it is distinguished, in the
hope OF making out of them some capital, on
which, in its present desperate fortunes. it
may commence trade again. It's not posi-
bic, however, that device so shallow can
succeed with an intelligent people, The En-
quirer, and the whole tribe of par excellence
State Rights champions, have notoriously
done more to bring into contempt their pro-
fessed principles, by their trucking ad-
herence to Federal authority, than all
their enemiesShave ever said or done. And
now, while no danger threatens, and the Lion
voice of Gen. Jackson is no longer heard
laundering the terrors Of the Proclamation
and the Force bill, for the Enquirer to arm it
self cap-a-pie, and sally forth as the peculiar
champion of State Rights, must appear SUI
Premely ridiculous to the sober sense of the
country. Having surrendered SO gracelesslv.
