About the middle of last July, a man and woman, of ordinary appearance, mounted on good horses, slopped at the house; of Mrs. Todd, in Green township, in this county, and left in the care of that lady a male infant apparently about six months old, with the exc use that they were going a few miles further, and would return in an hour or two and take the child which they said was too sick to proceed with them. From that hour until the present, no tiditigs of these inhuman and unfeehnji wretches have reached the person having charge of tne child. It is believed by the neighbors, from the appearance oi the strangers, and from other circumstances,that the mother of the infant had deserted her home w ith a paramour, and that finding the child troublesome, they had abandoned it to the care of the public. A description of the man and woman may lead to their detection, or may cause the friends of the child to identify it. The man was apparently between twenty and twentyfive years of age, short, thick, person, and dark complexion. The woman older in appearance, large in person, and fair or freckled face, and red hair. From the fact, that a bundle of child's apparel was found a short distance from the house on the road taken by the strangers, it is to be presumed that the desertion of the infant was a pre-arranged matter. Our brother editors will please notice this. Philadelphia, Oct. 24. General Harrison and the next presidency . At a stated meeting oftho Democratic Whig Association of South w ark, held on Thursday evening, the 22d inst., it was resolved to publish the following proceedings, to wit: Resolved, That we heartily congratulate our democratic whig and other political brethren of Pennsylvania, upon the disenthralment and regeneration of the "Key Stone State," achieved through the recent signal and glorious triumph of correct principles, over the machinations of political demagoguesjwhom it has overwhelmed , Resolved, That as true friends of our common country as true friends of our beloved common wealth and as firm supporters of democratic whig principles, we feel a sincere gratification in the cheer jng reports that daily greet our ear from every section, not only of thi: state, but of the w hole union that the sovereign people are determin

ed to rise in the majesty of their

treninh to Hie support ol toe peo ple's candidate, WILLIAM HEN- . ...... . 11 Y HARRISON, lor uie presidency of the United States. And whereas, from his stern republican principles in the support of his coun try and its laws, (independent of his patriotic military services, rendered in the hour of need,) and be lieving him to be the only man ai this particular juncture of our political affairs, who, if lected to that important station, is likely to produce a satisfaction in the minds of a majority of the whole American people: Therefore, be it further Resolved , That we will use all honorable means in our power to assist in having gen. Win. Henry Harrison, of Ohio, nominated by the citizens of this commonwealth to the office of president of the United States satisfied as we are, that he will receive tin; almost unanimous support of every free citizen of the .union, without distinction of party. R. solved, That to carry tin: foregoing resolutions into effect, a special committee of ten persons from this association be appointed, and for the purpose of cooperating with other similar committees, that may be appointed in the city or county of Philadelphia. I he chair appointed the following named persons that conunitte: George G. West, Joseph Weihenll, Geo. Norton, Rd. I3atey, Daniel Green, Kobert .Morris, Win. F. Hughes, S. S Coggins, Jas. Crawford, M. N. Evei lv. It was, on motion, resolved, that Adam Much, E. M'GIathery, and Samuel Blar-k, be added to the committee. From the minutes. Sam'l Black, v. p. presiding. Geo . Norton, secretary. From the New Yr! Evening Star. Harrison Republican Committee. At a meeting of the Harrison Republican committee, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, the people, in their primary meetings, in most of the states, have expressed their preference for gen. William H. Haruison, of Ohio, for the presidency, and in many ol'tlie most patriotic states of the union, in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, &.C, the time for holding state conventions has already been designa ted, in order to eflect a concentration of opinion, and concert of action among the people of thosestates who are opposed to the nomination of the Baltimore caucus, and, from information derived from all parts of this state, the committee are assured, that the people arc expecting an earlvcall fbra convention, in ordei to obtain a free expression of public sentiment on the subject of the presidency, it is therefore Resolved, That it be recommended to the people of the stale of New York, w ho are opposed to the nomination of the Baltimore caucus, and who are in favor of the republican candidate, gen. William H. Harrison, of Ohio, to appoint delegates from the respective counties of the State, equal to twice the number each county is entitled to in the legislature, to atwnd a conven tion in Albany, for the purpose of making a nomination for the presi dency, and to effect a complete organization, preparatory to the pres idential election in I8.su. Resolved, That we would res pectfully recommend ihat the con vention should meet in the city of Albany, on the first Wednesday in February, 183G. Resolved, I hat the preamble and resolutions, signed by the Har rison Executive Committee, be pub lished in all the papers in favor of gen. Harrison throughout the state. Signed btj the Harrison lx ecutivc Committee.' In giving place to the above res olutions we are authorized to state, that although the committee hav named the first Wednesday in Feb ruary for the state convention, yet should it hereafter annear that a majority of the counties should prefer an earlier or later dav, tin friends of gen. Harrison in this city will cheerfully coincide.

AVe are also authorized to say ihai I it is not the intention ol the supporters of gen. Harrison to take any part in the ensuing local i lections in this state. Being deeply itnuressed with the great importance of a radical reform in all the departments of the government, they are determined to act with energy

and decision, and make use of every honorable exertion in the great contest of 183G, to effect a complete political revolution, and once more restore to the people their just rights. It is, therefore, apparent, that until the people have assembled in a state convention,and haveefTected a complete organization in all the counties, any local movement as a party would be injudicious. 1 he time has now emphatically arrived when the friends ol reform in every nirt of our country should lay aside all minor considerations, and make a vigorous and united ef fort to regain those republican privileges which have been wrested from the people. Immediately after the ensuing Fall election, every county in the state should call meetings to appoint delegates to the convention. Action is now called for by every consideration of patriotism and devotion to the welfare of our country. UEN HARRISON IN VIRGINIA. The Richmond Whig, of last Thursday, in speaking of the prospects ol Martin Van Hnren and gen. Harrison, before any of the returns of Pennsylvania had reached that city, thus speculated: "We are not many degrees removed from the persuasion tint the presidential election iseveti now decided; for if Pennsylvania voted on Tuesday as was generally expected, the success of gen. Harrison becomes extremely probable. The causes that carried her people so unanimously fbr gen, Jackson causes inherent in the mass ofinaukind, and of invincible strength, particularly with the German population of this country, are now enlisted for gen. Harrison. He, too, is a victorious general, and as such his n line is familiar to die lowest ignorance. It is to bo deplored that, despising the lessons of history, republicans should persist in regarding military achievements as the highest qualification for civil rule: hut in the instance of gen. Harrison, it is a sul I et lor conioalulatiuii dial he is devoid of the heaostroug and self-willed qualities that render military chieftainship dangeious; that he is an educated and elightened civilian, as well as a successful general ; that he is moderate in tem per and principles, 'Xperienccd hi public affairs, and will prove a safe, and law and constitution respecting president. He is not the man whom we prefer, but he is the man in whom we would gladly acquiesce, and whose election would be fol lowed bv less party turbulence, heat and resentment, than probably any other. The oflice-hol h is and place-hunters ihe pap fed and pap desiring tribes the Albany Regency, and their satraps, aspiring to uuiversal dominion, would indeed oe in a rase; but the people in every quarter would be acquiescent if not pleased, and would repose a secure confidence in having a plain, moderate, and unencioaching adminis tration. We really believe that for the union and its stability, the election of yen. Harri-on would be the happiest circumstance that could be." From the Plovgh Boy. AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

M., for the purpose of appointing delegates to meet in convention, at Indianapolis, on the second Monday of December next, to form a ticket for the election of electors favorable to the election of gen Harrison to the presidency of the United States, at the next presidential election.

ground, a vast multitude had already assembied Irom the surrounding country, ;!dononor to tne memory of the departed heroes who fell in that bloody enae ment, and to yield their heart-felt gratitude to the deliverers of their country, on the very spot consecrated by the blood of heroes, and rendered so illustrious by tho b'avery, there, disP,aM the victory The assembled multitude were addressed by Dr Deming, of Lafayette, in an eloquent and patriotic speech, of about cm hour's length, which did equal honor to the occasion and to the gifted orator. 1. Deming was followed by Mr. Walla?-:-, who pronounced an original Ode, well suited to the occasion, and which reflected great credit on him, both as a poet and a patriot. Mr. Naylor, of Montgomery c.-., then, in a bricf.bjt highly interesting.au! spirited address, gave a short account of the battle, and the leading incidents cc:i nected with it; and successfully repello 1 the disgraceful calumnies, and stale slanders, which have been published again. .i the conduct of Gen.

Mr. Naylor is a survivor of the Tippecanoe Campaign, and an eye witness of tho facts which he related; he concluded V.s speech by introducing a number of resol ution?, the latter of which proposed Wi; . II. HARRISON as a candidate for t! -.a presidency. This resolution was put I vthe marshal of the day, and carried inmost unanimously. It was not the intention of gen. Harrison's friends to hav-.i nominated him that day,but the conduct v: the officeseekers and officeholders parry rendered it a matter of necessity ; the r saw fit to carry to the ground, a party burner, inscribed with the names of Van 15. -ren and Johnson. This proceeding war with every law of propriety has id parallel in modern times; if we wish ! find authority for it, we must go to antiquity. The bible gives us an account ei" a time, once, when the children of the Lord went up to present themselves, aM Satan came also. They justify then -selves, no doubt, from this scripture passage; but if we can judge correctly of the. feelings of men from their countenances, they sincerely regretted having gone there ; when they filed o(T after their flag tin y had not more than one seventh of tl; whole company; although some of their minions arc reporting that they had ;i majority. The friends of the constitution and of truth have the consolation left, of knowing that a good cause needs not tU-s aid of falsehood to support it, and that a , baa cause cannot be supported by it. After dinner a number of patriotic toat-j were drank, one of which contained ci I handsome encomium upon cur talented id. patriotic Lieut. Governor, Cel. David Wallace. In answer to this sentiment, ho made a speech, which, for independent , patriotism and genuine eloquence, Ik-.. rarely been surpassed. Letters were read from Gen. Harrison, Gov. Noble, and others, which were highly appropriate. A LOOKER-ON.
