POETRY.
WOMAN'S LOVE,

When all the world grows strange,
Still shall her arms enfold thee;
When smiling fortunes change,
Sill shall her words uphold thee.--
When all thine hopes shall fail,
And leave thee nought but care:
And when thy cheek grows palt,
Or wasted with despnir;--
When desolation mcet thee,
Without an arm to save;
When Death himself shall greet thee,
A victim for the grave
Then woman shall caress thee
With oil an angels care;
Then shall she softly bless thee
With more thln angels prayer.

AT a meeting of the friends of Gen'l VIM.
II. HARRISON, held at Wiliamsville. on
Saturday, JuneN27th, ISIO-William Lock-
rldge was called to the Chair, and Samuel
NJ. Marshall was appointed Secretary.-The
object of the meeting having been briefly ex-
planned by Mr.. Lockridge,
The following preamble and resolutions
were submitted and adopted:
Whereas, it is the right and the duty of
Tree and enlightened people, to investigate
the character of the government under which
they live, and closely examine the measures
OF Its administration In order to JUDGE wbetb
er they are calculated to promote the ends of
all good government, namely life, liberty.
and pursuit of happiness And whereas, in
reviewing the administration, of the affairs of
this country, under it's present Chief Mspis-
trate, we are compelled with equal regret
and indignation, to acknowledge that these
objects, so far from being promoted, have
| been disregarded and endangered to an alar-
ming degree. In proof of this we need ONLY
refer to the project of maintaining a Standing
Army in time of peace, under the pretence Of
| organizing an effective militia-which has
been recently promulgated by the Secretary
of War, and strongly recommended to the
consideration of Congress, by the President.
ana IL iurtner proof were wanting Of the NAL
administration of the present government, we
may find 1t in the prostra!on of our commerce.

the low prices of our agricultural products

pension OF specie payments by our banks, tho
deprecated value OF our property, the dancer
Gus invasion of the rights of one of our Sow
reign States by excluding from the House Of
Representatives individuals who produced the
legally authorized certificates oftheir election;
but who were opposed to the policy of the
present administration, and to the odious at
tempt OF President, to force upon the people
after repeated reflections, his scheme Of ;
| Sub Treasury Bank, the effect of which woulr
be to create too kinds of Currency, one for tn,
people, and another and better kind for th
government, and its fice-holders-thereb,
obtaining with the aid of Standing ARM
the full command of those dangerous weapons
) inthe hands ofpower, the purse and the sword
And whereas, in the nomination of VIM. III
Harrison, to the Office of President, and JohI
J Tyler to that of Vice President, we hail wit
: pleasure, the dawn of new era in our Repub
r lie, when the government VIII be restored {
Its original simplicity, and Republican purity
and its administration conducted with a vicN
! to the permanent prosperity and happiness

In pursuance Of this object, be it Resolved
: that we will use every exertion consister
with honor and fairness, to promote the e!e,

az The six Wing members Of Congress
from Georgia have addressed very able let
ter to the people ofthat State, vindicatinp their
preference Of Gen. Harrison over Mr.. Van
Buren,, and showing conclusively the superior
claims of Old Tip to the confidence and the
sufirages Of. Southern men. Judge CoIquitt,
Mr.. Black and MIR. Cooper, the three other
members, who crept into Congress By abusing
lon Buren as an AboiifioniSt, are placed in an
awkward dilemma since they have enlisted
under the Van Buren, banner. They are now
endeavoring to prove that Harrison is an Ado;
| litionist~-but if he were, he would be no worse
than they have heretofore proved Van Buren,
to be; and the people will therefore hardly be
able to see why they prefer one to tho other
Vrginion.
