New York Transcript. FOR rRF. SIDE XT, GEN. WILLIAM II. HARRISON. The manner in which the name of HARRISON, as a candidate for president, has been received by the people, while it is cheering to all who look forward with hope to a day of emancipation from political vassalage to a practical despotism, is any thing but refreshing to the minds and soothing to tne apnrehensions of the ollice-holdersl , ,,,, 1 nnH th-ir Honnnrlrnts. 1 ne day oi tnd their dependents. 1 he day o eckoning, though long dclaycd,will Ill VI I . - w r rnmp. It is time for the public scribes to prepare the balance sheet. The partizans of Van Buren, the Ruckerites of the Baltimore convention of course, endeavor to treat the matter lightly, but it is something with the same grace that a fellow tries to laugh off a good joke upon himself, when his blood is boiling with suppressed rage and impatience. But what are their objections? Do they say that gen. Harrison is not a republican ? Not of the modern stamp, we grant. Not such a republican as Hubbard, the Van Buren senator from New Ilamshire, who was concerned in the Hartford convention, not such a republican as Buchanan, the Van Buren senator from Pennsylvania, who thanked God that he" had not a drop of democratic blood in his veins, not such a republican as Roger B. Taney, the pet of Van Burenism, who was in consultation with those who nrovoked the famous Baltimore mob. Harrison is a republican of '98 descended from a republican of '7G. The father of Harrison was one of the noble band whose name will live while a single copy of the declaration of American indepen dence is preserved. The taint of federalism is not upon any 01 his garments. He was a republican when Martin Van Buren was intriguing to displace Mr. Madison as president. He was a republican while Martin Van Buren was writing a pamphlet in favor of electing a distinguished federalist to the U. States Senate from New York. He has never been aught but a republican, practically as well as thcorcticalhi. He has ever cherisho! thn principles derived from a signer of the declaration of independence.

He does not, like Van Buren, ride about the country in a splendid carriage, with servants in livery. He does not ape the manners and style of a foreign nobility. He obtains his livelihood by personally discharging the small office of clerk to a county court. But is he less deserving on this account? Will a candid and industrious people attach any weight to this objection, when made by those who claim to be democrats, but ape the manners and indulge in the practices of aristocrats? But if it be an objection we freely admit that Van Buren is not liable to it. He is rich. Of the manner in which those riches were obtained, the large fee before alluded to mav be taken as a specimen. . . . i , Is it said that Harrison cioes noi come up in regular succession

It is destructive to everv nrincinle of republican gov ernment. This the president has attempted in his letter to a political priest, the Rev. Mr. Gwynn. If for no other reason (and others are in great abundance,) the candidate thus selected should he defeated, to avoid the danger of the precedent. But the great objection, perhaps, may be, he is not "regularly nominnipa" his name is not brought for ward "according to the usages of the party." It is readily admitted, that his friends have not, like those of Van Buren, been assembled together in a miscalled national convention, representing only the views of those who called them together, and recording only the dictate of the palace no ldmund Kucker is magnified by steam process into a representative of a whole state, and without a particle of authority from his self-adopted constituents, casting fifteen votes for president, and determining the choice of the can. didate for vice president, as was done in the Baltimore convention. No such splendid humbugery has been played off no such stupendous fraud attempted by the friends of Harrison. But what party usages have been violated ? What president was ever nominated by a national convention? Not one. The old practice was to nominate by congressional caucus. Gen. Jackson himself came up in defiance of that practice, in the very manner in which the name of Harrison has been brought forwnrrf.

didate for president. That voice alone has placed Harrison in the prominent position he now occupies as a candidate. We copy the foregoing from the Ithaca (New York) Chronicle, of August 12. It is inaccurate in one or two particulars that are unimportant. Gen. Harrison never was governor of the entire N. W. Territory. He represented that territory in congress in 1799, 1800, and was, for many years, governor of Indiana. His support is derived, not exclusively from the clerk's office, but in part from a farm on which his family resides. With these explanations the article is just and pointed. We commend it to the attention of our readers. Cincinnati Gazette. RICHARD M. JOHNSON. This man is re-elected to congress from Kentucky. Certain of his humbug supporters proclaim this reelection as a refutation of the "slanders'" uttered against him. In what has Richard M.Johnson been "slandered?" So far it has been objected to him, that he made his own slave the mother of his children, attempted to pass them into female society, and finally married them to white men. Is not every word of this true? Is he not a practical amalgamator in its strongest sense? Is it a slander to speak this truth? Oris the truth made void bv the readiness of his constituents to excuse his aberrations? Verily, we have in the case of R . M. J ohnson, a curious example of the pcrverseness of human action. If a poor fanatical enthusiast for the n'ohts of man, preaches mat a nu- - ... with his brother white man, he is menounceu a& an niuuimj ..w... one extremity j ivy other; from Mason and Dixon's line io the milf of Mcxico,the cry is,cru- - city him without judge or jury.

If any thing could shame a humbug man, that damns an amalgamator, this view of his own conduct ought to cover him with confusion. Richard M. Johnson slandered, forsooth! The investigation of his dealings with uncle Sam, and with the "MONSTER" has yet to be made. We shall then sec Irom whence he obtained the means of purchasing white husbands for his mulatto dauahters. Cincinnati Gazette.

Tcrnmke. The engineers on the New Albany and Crawfordsville turnpike have arrived at this place. We have not seen them, but learn that they report favorably for cither a turnpike or railroad that stone for a turnpike can be had in abundance as far as G reen, castle. The party engaged in surveying the Madison and Lafayette railroad will be here in a few days. Cask wanted. Our friends who are in arrears, especially for job work and advertising, would do ns a favor by discharging their respective accounts by the 20th instant, as we are about starting for our winter supply of paper, and must have cash. Such as are disposed to pay their subscription to the present volume by that time, can have the benefit of the advance price. Gen. Harrison. This distinguished individual appears to bo "going ahead" for the presidency; every mail brings us new assurances of his increasing prospects for that high station. The people of Ohio are taking active measures to sustain his nomination. Meetings of the people are being called in the different counties in lhat state to ascertain public feeling on the subject. In New Yoik and Pennsylvania he will undoubtedly be the whig candidate. Cor.niTTNICATKD.j Mr. Wade: I was not a little amused, some few days since, when by chance I overheard a sho'rt dialogue between a couple of those persons who style themselves the people, which, if you think proper,-1 should be much pleased to see copied in your columns. After the usual salutations, they proceeded : Well my friend, you and I have had the good fortune heretofore of always belonging to the same political party; and in the coming contest I should feci gratified if we again should agree. But in these times of political excitement fate may otherwise determine; for my part I have been much perplexed for the last few months which side to choose. The stones on both are fair, and the candidates numerous; but, as I have been ever willing to lake the advice of a friend, your counsel in this matter would be very acceptable. Well; as you have been so candid, and reoiesied my counsel, I shall give it willingly. You and I have had the misfortune of always being on the minus side in these matters we have been overruled in every election, we have been frowned upon by the populace, nn posed upon by office seekers, and slandered by office holders, and as severe and provok in o- as it has been, we have had to bear it But experience is a good school, and it is my intention to profit by it. I have been led by the nose long enough, and have now come to the conclusion, lhat good or bad, right or wrong, Til be on the popular side. I lie ma jority is the people 3 nd I'll be one oflhcm Now my candid advice is, to preach up noncommittal, until you can see fairly which way the wind blows, and then strike jor the breeze. Good; good; it's gratifying to find that we shall again sail together. So good day. A. MISSOURI. The election for members of congress, which has just taken place in this state, has resulted in the defeat of the caucus arrangements, although backed by the aid of a legislative enactment having in view the perpetuation of caucus dictation. It will be recollected that the last legislature of Missouri was notoriously distinguished by its servility to col. Benton; and, at his bidding, and in imitation of New York, the district system of voting for members of congress and electors was abolished. Soon after this arrangement was made, the Van Burenites nominated Messrs. Strother and Harrison as the republican candidates for congress. The people, however, in total disregard of all this, have reelected gen. Wm. II. Ashley, their old and faithful representative, by a majority of three or four thousand votes. Gen. Ashlev came out boldlv on the stumD in favor of judge White, and in opposition to the Bal timore convention and its nominee, mi. Birch , however, the other independent candidate, owing to his want of general popularity, has lost his election by a few voles, and Missouri, it is believed, will be represented in the next congress by Messrs. Ashley and Harrison. The attempt to get up a convention for the purpose of amending the present constitution of that state has been put down by anj

overwhelming majorily of the people. TTtfbash Courier.

The late elections in Illinois, so far as they go, are decisive against the nominee of lb Baltimore convention. In Sangamon county especially, the contest was openly decided on the question of Van Buren or no Van Buren Herndon and 'Fletcher (While men) defeated Cartwright (a delegate to the Baltimore convention,) and another gentleman whose name wp r1r tint nnw rPCOl lect. for senators. The Van Buren party lately imported an eauor io Springfield, who blew a loud oiasi ior wec previous to the election but to no effect. The suckers will give a good account of themselves yet, or we arc deceived. Wabash Courier. TENNESSEE. The recent congressional elections in this state resulted in the choice of the following' gentlemen to the next Congress, viz: William B. Carter, Samuel Bunch, Luke Leaf James Standifer, John B. Forester, Baile Peyton, John Bell, Abram P. Maury, James K. Polk, E. J. Shields, Cave Johnson, Adam Huntsman, and William C. Dunlap. We-, know not how they stand as to future Presidential preferences, but report says a largemnjorily of them are Whiie men. Col. Newton Cannon has undoubtedly succeeded to the Gubernatorial Chair by a pretty respectable majority over Gen. Carroll! Fifty-three counties have given him a majorijority of 0,010, and the Nashville Banner thinks the remaining 8 or 10 counties will increase the majority: Gov. Carroll has beeft' reckoned the most popular man in Tennessee except General Jackson and Judge White but his preference for Van Buren has used him up. A post office has been established in Clay county, about twelve miles from this place, on the" nationnl road. It is called Van B irrn, r and Philip Hedges, esq., appointed post master. Courier, Tcrrehaute. YELLOW FEVER AT NEW ORLEANSV A letter from New Orleans of the 2d inst.r states that four fatal cases of yellow fever had had occurred in the practice of one physician in that city. Cincinnati Gazette, August 22.. HEALTH OF NEW ORLEANS. Our New Orleans papers to August 10, say nothing of the yellow fever in that place, but' speak in strong terms of its general health.A letter deled" the Sth says, "we still keepclear of sickness hero." The letter noticed' in Saturday's Gazette was from a respectable, source. We are pleased that its statements, whether correct or not in the particular case, . contain nothing to impeach the general health of that city Cincinnati Gaz., August25.. From the Frankfort Ky. Commonwealth CHOLERA IN VERSAILLES. This disease broke out in the neighboring'" town of Versailles, on Sunday evening iirstywith a violence unprecedented in its history, in the Western country. From ihe list of." deaths, which is published below, some ideai may be formed of the malignity of the pes tilence. We are informed that many of iho' ordinary symptoms were not observable in a majority of cases; but that the attacks came on without warning, and hurrie l the victims, to a speedy grave. The consternation produced in a community hitherto remarkably: blessed with health was, as might be expected; very great, and added much to the hor--rots of the scene. In Versailles no age sect' or condition was exempt, but every class has been visited with the scourge. The physicians of the town were themselves attacked,, and rendered incompetent to extend relief to their fellow-citizens. When the news of the - deplorable state of things in Versailles reachedFrankfort, three of our young physicians, actuated by a philanthropy which does honor to themselves and their profession, repaired instantly to the theatre of suffering,, and. at therisk of their own lives administered to tho. want3 and necessities of the alllicted. We mention their names in order that their spirited conduct may be generally known and im itatcd they were Doctors Watson, S.eei and Henslfa-.. We understand that the physicians of Lexington and Nicholasvillc likewise hastened to Versailles where they heard of the distress which was upon the inhabirtants. At our last accounts the town was nearly depopulaicd the great mass of those who could leave having gone to the countryIn consequence of the general dispersion of the citizens the disease was subsiding for lack of aliment with which to feed its "insatiable maw." It seems now to be the settled' opinion that clrolera is, during its prevalence confined within certain limited bounds, and lhat a temporary removal from the infected region is advisable. The whole number oC deaths 50. BowxrvaGREEN, Kv. Aug. 5, 1835. CgrCholcra at Russchille. On Saturday the 2olh of July, this afflicting scourge macfe its appearance in Russellville in all its horrors: and in one week, so far as can be ascertained between seventy and eighty persons, white and black, have died. While we feel and grieve for the afflictions that have befallen Russelville, we have great reason to be thank ful to the Author of our existence, that intho midst of the pestilence, we arc yet the spired obiects of his gracious mercy. Rus sellville is now almost, if not entirely desert ed and it is stated that some of the deceased still remain in their houses unintcrred. A block of Westchester marblofor the new custom house, N.
