HARRISON MEETING. At a meeting of the citizens of the county ol Dearborn, held at the court house in Lawrenceburgh, on Saturday the 28ih day of February, 1835; Dr. Jabez Percival was called to the chair, and James Dill appointed secretary. The object of the meeting having been stated by the secretary, and the address of the people of Cincinnati, to the citi zens of the the United States, as published in the Liberty Hall paper at Cincinnati, having been read by Lytic W. Johnson, the sentiments therein contained were responded to by every individual present; whereupon the following gentlemen were appointed a committee to prepare resolutions, expressive of the sense of this meeting, relative to the claims of General Wil i.i a m Henry Harrison for the cfikc of President of the United States, at the expiration of the present term, to wit: Daniel Symmes Major. L) tie V. Johnson, Arthur St. Clair Vance, Alexander Hamilton Dill, Dr. John S. Percival. Henry Walker, and James Salmon, who, after having retired for a short period, returned and offered for the consideiaiion of the meeting the following preamble and resolutions, to wil: Whereas, our government being the nnlyinstatue the world at this time affords, where by regular established laws, t lie people have a right to select the individual who shall preside over their destinies; and since that choice alone can best be effected by the primary meeting of the people in nssern bly where the miserable artifice, and the whiffling polity of the demagogue are easily delected, and where the people can freely interchange opinions of men; this meeting, at the same time, ever feeling the importance of that choice which shall place the administration of the government of the United States in the hand of any one of its citizens of the United States the man who in ihcir opinion, is worthy of that high honor, and that high trust: and in doing that too, we feel that we are not only exercising a righl of our own, but discharging a duty we owe to our country ; for the people in iheir liberality of sentiment, are too apt to wait for those very men whom liny have flung into political existence to mark the course they shall afterwards pursue. When these same men, peihaps in their secret cabals, and their caucus juntoes. are devising plans how ihev shall best prolong this existence. But let the people recollect that they must bear all he ills of a misguided, a self-aggran dizing choice in these thing?; that they must throw themselves into the breach, and slay the stride lo despotic, power; that they must wrench the grasp of tvtany; that they must form the breast work to oppose the wave of ambition; that they must be tossed upon the troubled sea of anarchy: let them recollect these things, and they will more readily feel the necessity of their saying, and their pointing to the man who will best serve their interest, and admin ister their government according to the pure spirit of its laws, and its constitution. We some times hear of a crisis in our affairs, but we should know no particular crisis. We should all the time feel there was a crisis of the most mo minions character hanging over us, and that it is to guard against the least encroachment upon our rights and upon our libel ties; to hold on to the government of our own affairs, which has wisel) bi en committed to ourown hands; and to take special c ue that we do not in the least mar the beauties of our Republic. To preserve these things then, unsullied.it behooves ii in the selection of a man for ihe Presidency of (he United Slates, to select him of tried virtues and tried patriotism. As we look upon that as the great approachable avenue to th'i post ration of our government. The names of several eminent individuals of the United States have already been put in nomination for the Presidency in eighteen hundred and thirty-vix. And it gives us pleasure lo witness Ihe names of so many into whose hands the people are willing to commit ihis high and responsible duty. Our bosoms heave with national pride, and wc exult in the fact that our country affords so many of her sons, who are thought worthy of what must, at this day, in the political world, be acknowledged the greatest earthly honor and without intimating any thing in derogation of the high character of the others of our pre-eminent citizens put in nomination, it is with no ordinary feelings of gratification we have witnessed among them the name of our old friend and co operator. Gen. William Henry Harrison. He who detruded us in day s when we were unable to defend ourselves; who presided over oyr infancy; who ld us on to ana.

tionai character; nnd aided in putting in operation our machine of Slate, which has already tarried us to greatness. Though we do not favor his claims to the Presidency, particularly on account of his services, though many, gre.it, and perilous ones he has rendered to his country, both civil and military; for we believe every man owes lo his couutry his whole energy and his whole talent, when emergencies require their assistance. Yet his tried patriotism, his stern integrity, and his democratic principles, against which the first whisper has not been heard to breathe, together with the well known powers of his mind, which have been called into action by his country in various situations and on various occasions, warrant us in chosing him as a man amply qualified to discharge the many, great, and onerous duties of a presidentof the United States; and who, should he ever be honored with that station, will make it his pride and his study to resign into ihe hands of the people, his country , in a higher state of prosperity and happiness than by them confided to him. Therefore, Resolved, That we present to our fellow citiz -ns of the U.iited States, the name ol Gen. William Henry Harrison, as a candidate for the next Presi dency. Resolved, That in nominating Gen. Harrison for the Presidency, we present him, not to the con-ideration of any particular party, but lo the people, the whole people, and nothing less than the people of the Uniied Slates. Resolved, Thai we call upon the "Old Dominion" to listen to the claims of one of her distinguWhed sons, who in early life left his home to carve his fortune amid the perils of the North Western Territory, and who though distant, yet is great. Resolved, That as citizens of Indiana, we do most cordially concur with our fellow citizens of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky in the nomination of our worthy friend and fellow citizen, Gen. William Henry Hairison, of North Bend, as a suitable candidate for the chief magistracy of these Uniied Stales, and thai we will use all honest endeavors and fair means to promote his election; and that as citizens of Indiana w e duly appreciate his important public services as Governor of our hue infant and unprotected territory, as well as the distinguished services he rendered our common country during the period of her perils, noi only in the field, but in our national councils. Resolved, That such is our decided, fixed and firm belief in the abilities, patriotism and integrity of our former revered Governor, William Henry Harrison, and knowing too that he i for hi country, "His whole country," regardless of party and unpledged to partisans, we verily believe no individual in the United States could now be selected, who is better qualified to fill the executive chair, and at the same lime reconcile party feuds and disscn sions. Resolved, That we recognize no political dictator; that we are fiee and untrammelled, and that we are determined toexercisc the privileges of freemen, uninlluenced by former parly feel mgs. ?esocerf,That the foregoing proceedings be signed by the chairman and secretary, and phblished in the Indiana Palladium, Brookville American. Cinciuuati Gazt tie, and Rising Sun Times. And ihe meeting adjourned. JABEZ PERCIVAL, Ch'n. James Dill, Sec'y. Popery in Switzerland. The French correspondent of the New Yoik 0: server, states that Catholic Switzerland st em- disposed lo shake off the y oke of the Romish church. '-It would be surprising if we should hear in a lew months, that all the Catholic cantons had declared themselves independent of the pontifical authority." Among the reasons assigned for this change we quote the following: 'The Swiss know, by much expert ence, that popery is the constant ally of despotism, and that the public liberties will be exposed to the greatest danger, if strong barriers are not opposed to tlie encroachments of the Romish clergy. Hence their increasing distrust of the upholders of Catholicism; hence iheir antipathy, and in some ca ses their open hostility. This spirit agitates now the most enlightened cantons of Catholic Switzerland; they watch, with iheir arms in hand, to repel the aggressions of the court of Rome; and only wait a favorable moment on break entirely from the holy fee. This fact should excite attention in every land that wishes to be free; for popery is essentially the enemv of liberty, and the people cannot be" too much to their guard against its usurpations. It is possible, (and I rendilr

admit it,) that many Romish priests are the sincere friends of liberty ; but they thus contradict their own doctrines. The Romih religion is in its nature hostile to all independence. Its sympathies are with despotism. The Swiss know it well, and are not to be cajoled by empty protestations of liberality. Actions speak louder than words, and ihe Swiss know well that the acts of the court of Rome have never been friendly lo republics." Bsitish Paupers: the way they get here. An English woman, and her six young children, have been supported for several months past in an almshouse in this vitinity. The husband and father is also hereabouts; he is a journeyman mechanic, but too indolent or too inefficient to support any part of his family. He states that they received parish relief in England, and that their passage to Philadelphia was paid by the parish. Boston Transcript. G mbling. A Boston paper, in alluding to the gambling now prevailing at Washington, says: "An English clergyman, who is now on a visit to this country, by permission of the church, for purposes of observation, is said to have lost the sum of two hundred guineas, at billiards, on Saturday last. The winner I understand to lie a celebrated blackleg from New York, who played decoy duck for a while, and then fleeced the parson. But little pity is manifested for the "saint in lawn" by the knowing ones; and though it is supposed that he lost about all the ready cash that he possessed, the brethren do not evince any particular commisseration for his condition." Billiards is not a game of chance, consequently cannot be included in the schemes of blacklegs; it depends on skill and science, but in no instance should be played for such heavy sums. Fire. About two o'clock on Wednesday morning last, a fire broke out in the hat store of Mr. Lew is Day, 152 Main street, which communicated to the bookstore of Messrs. Truman & Smith, adjoining Mr. Day's store, and to ihe office of the Rev. Mr. Bullard, and the Rev. Mr. Spalding, which were in the second story over the same. Mr. Day's slock was entirely consumed, a:td he slates his loss to be four thousand dollars, one thousand insured. Messrs. Truman & Smith's loss will he heavy, in consequence of dama.r both by fire and water. Great damage was donC o the books by falling in the water with which their sfoie was deluged. No estimate for their loss can yet be made. They were fully insured, so that the Insurance Company are in fact the sufferers. The loss of Messrs. Bullard fc Spalding in small. Cin.

Westward ho! TheFrcdonia Censor announced the arrival of a stage at that place bound west, among whose passengers were three ladies, each with nursling tains ! This kind of emigration will soon enable Michigan to claim admission as a State. A NUT FOR SCHOOL-BOYS TO CRACK. A resolution has been introduced into the legislature of Ohio, making it penal for scholars to bar out their teachers on Christmas holidays! This is an invasion of the 'reserved rights' of boys, and we advise them to remonstrate forthwith. A man residing at Cincinnati, Ins accumulated one hundred and twenty thousand dollars in three years, by the peddling of wooden clocks throughout the Southwestern country. Jennings Allen, a soldier of the revolution, and who served at Ihe time of Braddock's defeat, died at Fai field, S. C. on the 3d ult., at the advanced age of one hundred and fourteen years. Departed this lifa, on the evening of the 4th of February, at 6 o'clock, at his residence in Columbia, South Carolina, Gen. Wade Hampton, in the 81st y ear of his age. Michigan. Delegates for forming a constitution for Michigan, are to be elected on the 4th of April, and the con vention is to meet on the 3d Monday of May. 3 A man 98 years of age, living in Providence, Rhode Island, in the most abject slate of poverty, has lately been discovered to have in his possession, of his savings, 12,000 dollars! He served in the old French, and in the American revolutionary war, and is now a pensioner of our government. Mr. Harvey Gholson, of Russell valley, Alabama, was murdered by a batch of negro fellows, on the evening of the 17th January. They dashed hsi brains out, and cut his throat from ear to ear.

FOREIGN NEWS, Since our last, there have been arrivals at the eastward bringing laterdates from France. The prospects of war with that nation, which has been an engrossing topic with politicians for the last few days, is rendered much less probable. Mr. Livingston remained at Paris at ihe latest advices, and was deteimined lo stay there until he was ordered off, by his own or the French government. There have been some pecuniary speculations abroad as well as at home, based on the excitement growing out of our vexed relations with fi ance. The tone of menace contained in the president's message, as it is construed, has been greatly scorned as an insult offered lo the French nation, in their journals. The English journalists are speculating very profoundly on the probable issue of the contest; but the opinion is strengthening that there will be no open rupture, and that the French war will be but n war of words. The French chambers will probably await the aclion of our congress, before they come to any decision on our claim?. If the president be unsustained by the American representatives, they will, in all probability, pass a law authorizing the payment of the indemnity stipulated in the treaty and there will be about the end of the business. In England, the elections were progressing, and the result is very different from what was generally apprehended. The opposition to the new ministry will not be so formidable as wa9 anticipated. Tory members have been returned from some of the boroughs which previously sent whig members to parliament. The O'Connell interest has been weakened in Ireland; and the. tory papers arc flourishing Iheir success with great triumph. Cin. Mirror. France. A Letter to the editor of ihe New York American, dated Havre, Jan. 1 8th, says: "Be assured ibis government is more afraid of internal movement than of foreign war. War would relieve them of many restless spirits, and make it easier to govern the country, while it would gratify a favoiite passion of the youth of the nation. Louis Philipe does not want war, but it may be forced upon him. Let us not afford Ihe chance of war, but rather by high d-ities on silks make Lyons uneasy." M. Serurier, the Minister of Fiance, with his family, left this city on Thursday, to embark for home. We dteply regret the occasion which has caused the sudden departure from the city of a Itmily so universally esteemed 'and respected. M. Pageot, the Secretary of Legation, remains as Charge des Affaires. Nat. Int. Feb. 8. France. There has been manifested to-day an unusual interest on the subject of our relations with France. The probability of war is considered greater than at any former period. But hope on the whole predominates. Much will depend, probably, on the course pursued by our own Government. Wc adhere to the opinion that no action on the part of Congress is necessary, until it is seen what disposition (he French Chambers will make of ;the Indemnity Bill. It i not best for our Government to act hastily in the premises. The new Congress can be called together speedily if necessary. .V. r. Jour. Commerce. Several individuals we are informed were frozen to death in the prairies of Illinois during the recent cold weather which was experienced during the last month. At Galena ihe thermometer is said to have fallen to 32 degrees below zero. The thermometer in this place fell to about 20 degrees below 0, which was eight or ten degrees colder than had at any time previously been experienced here Ind. Journal. Illinois A State Bank, we learn, was chartered during the late session of the Legislature of Illinois. The mother bank is to be at Springfield, and there are seven Branches located in various other parts of the state. The capital stock we believe is $1,600,000. Tho charter of the Sliawneetown Bank has also been extended for the space of twenty years. A white man named Godfrey, aged 40, walked into a porter bouse in South street, New York, and after drinking to excess, undertook, for a wager, to drink off a pint of brandy at a draught. He accomplished the object, won the wager, and dropped dead on the spot. Verdict, intemperance. Joshua Downing, cousin to the celebrated Major, in an account of the cold weather at Downingville, stales that "sass was all touched," and that the weather would have been much colder f the thermometers had not been too short.
