Yesterday at twelve o'clock, u. WILLIAM
HESaY HARR1soN, y inauguratee President
Of the United States, amidst thousands Of
spectators. II wasa day Of general triumph
and thanksgiving By the free people Of the
Union. There was not city, town Or viz
lage in the United States, we presume, but
had some sort Of public congratulation on
The occasion;l III our little village the
srAn SpANeLED BAnNEE was floating n the
breeze from the top Of the LIAEBTY POLE
which was raised BY the wings last fall, as i
token Of their respect for General Harrison.
The Ball that took place at the Wshite
House, III the evening, must have exceed
ed in brilliancy and fashion any that has
ever been seen in This country; for among
the names Of the managers thereof are an
nounced those of Webster, Clay, Rives, Gen.
AIcComb. &C., and The principal part Of the
ellie, talent and beauty fthe United States,
assembled there to "trip the light fantastic
toe il gay and happy groups; different por-
lions Of the company were seen with coun-
tenances beaming with pleasure, and conf
dence seemed, Is il were, stamped upon
each face, when looking upon the Old Hero
of Tippecanoe, as President Of the United
States Of America.

GIVE would cal the attention of oal
readers to the Card Of VIM. F. courtenay,
published in our paper, BY which It viii be
seen that he has established himself in the
Commission and Forwarding business in the
City Of Vicksburg, where he has constantly
on hand full assortment of Groceries,
Liquors, &C., which are said to be Of the very
best quality, and TO be had on as reasonable
terms as those of any other establishment Of
the kind in the City. Mr.. Conrtenay resid-
ed in this place some length Of time, and is
faVorably known as gentlemaa with mer-
camille qualities admiFably calculated to in
sure success in the business in which he
has embarked. We bespeak for him the
custom of those Of our citizens dealing At
VicksbuTg.
That his liquors are good, we have had
palatable proof-he having forwarded to US
present of two gallons of brandy, lknoW-
ing we were partial to mint julips, and that
season commencing J which is decidedly the
best article Of the kind we have tasted fol
some time, and for which present we leturn
him our thanks and drink his health in the
bargain. We shall certainly call on hin
when next we visit Viclsburg.

Brother Grosvenor,-Some of your
readers may recollect that a communica-
lion appeared il the Reflector about year
ago. over my signature, on the subject of
6 emf grafton to the west" in which some
things were suggested in reaItion to plan
whereby persons wishing 20 emigrate TO
the west, who possessed but small means,
might do il under circumstances much
more favorable to their comfort and USE
fulness than was ordinarily the case with
such on removing to the west. / intend
ed to have made farther communications
upon this subject at an earlier date. But
a variety of circumstances, not of interest
to name, have prevented me. | view the
plan equally as important and practicable
as ever, and | find others in the west as
well as in the east, who approve the enter
prize, and are willing to embark in it. A
location has been determined on, where it
is in contemplation to make an expert
ment which il is believed will commend
the plan to public favor. In looking for
location, the two primary objects have
been to find one which should be favora-
bic to health and to the securing of any
desirable quantity of first rate land at gov
eminent price, (Sl.25 per acre;) conven-
fence to market and other desirable quail
! fcations have not been forgotten l only
wish to say to my eastern friends at this
time, that if any Of them think they can
render themselves more useful or happy
| by changing their location for one where
the very best of soil can be had for the
above named price, at distance of not
more than Is or 80 miles from the Mis-
sissippi. or the Rock river, and conven-
lent to good mills, and not remote from
schools or meetings,-but where their in.
fuence will be needed to sustain these and
whatever other institutions is calculated tc

pect the aid and cooperation of those wLc

Revival IN New BEDFORD, Mass
Dear brother We closed a
orotracted meeting last evening in this
place. of 9 weeks continuance.
The Lord has truly been in our midst,
and we have been permitted to sit together
in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. And
considering the heat Of the season, the
pressure of business and the shortness oil
the evenings, the work of the Lord has
been quite powerful. One hundred and
siz have been baptized. since the com
mencement Of the meeting. and many
more are waiting the next opportunity.
More than 200 are rejoicing in the hope
ofthe glory of God, who, at the COM
mencement of the meeting, were without
God, having no hope. Among the con.
verts may be found the sea Captain and
the sailor, who may reflect the light on
an waters and pour it into all ports.
OF business and influence in the meridian
Of life,-women of fashion and pleasure
now renouncing all for Christs sake
youth and sabbath-school children. Blu
brother Jackson will soon give more
full and pleasing account of the work =
therefore, l forbear.-B. Yours,

The National Temperance Convention.


Below are more of the resolutions pass
ed by this body. The remainder will be
given next week. 1t appears that the
resolution, such as it is, against licensing
the sale of intoxicating liquors. passed
1t was re-committed to the Business Com
mittee, as mentioned last week, on account
of It's awkwardness. But it is still awk-
ward enough in all conscience. The truth
is, there was an unreasonable and indom-
liable propensity in the Chairman of the
Business Committee, who is the Secretary
of the American Temperance Union, TO
have everything that should 90 from the
hands of the Committee, wear his own
impress. A resolution on this subject
was first handed to the Commitee-under
the rule that all business must 90 through
their hands-from Friend, by the name
of Booth, if ! rightly recollect, from New
Jersey, who was very clear-headed,
straight forward reformer. This original
resolution was in itself worth something.
But it came forth from the Committee
altogether deformed and then was re-
committed and made worse. 1t was not
the only instance in which resolutions
were spoiled by the Committee. In this
instance, however, the discussion was had,
and the sound principle prevailed.
The n. Y Evangelist says:
"The Convention whose organization
was noticed last week, continued It's sit
tings with great harmony and increasing
interest until Thursday night At its
opening the names of more than two hun
dred and fifiy delegates were enrolled
and at the close there were Jsue hundred
and ssrty. From New York. there
were ESQ; Massachusetts so: Vermont

Rhode Island q; Maize s; NewJersey

lgan !; Louisiana 8 Alabama 8; Wis
konsan B; Ohio 8, illinois q; Georgia
2 Iowa l. Sandwich Islands i; and 8
without places designated"
License Question.
Resolved. That the true principle of
Legislation with regard to the sale of In
toxicating liquor, 10 be used as beverage,
Is. not to license this imm0Talitg. but, so
