The Democratic Republicans, of Cumberland county are requested to meet at the Court House in the Borough of Carlisle, on Monday evening,- the 10th of August next, (Court Week,) at early candle light, to adopt the necessary preparatory measures for ensuring the triumphant success of the Democracy Of old Mother Cumberland at the ensuing elections. A general, attendance is desi rable. May .21, 1810.’ ' • 'A.vdrijsn Pole !■—The ' democrats of r North Middleton contemplate raising a Liberty Pole oh Saturday next, near, the bridge, on the land of that staunch.old republican'; George .Wise, Esq. We hope some of our democratic friendj? in the borough will be present to assist in tho' ercc . lion. A LIBERTY POLE about 70 feet high. was. rrpclftd on Saturday last, at Mount Rock, under the very nose of the Buckshot exrGoyemor! One had been erected previously, which was cut down by the Hard* by direction of old . Josey,-a few nights previous. VVe advise the Buckshot party to leave this last one stand—as its destruction may possibly provoke a retaliation which they little dream of a't present. - We go in for fair play and equal rights, and should be sorry to sec our political opponents in their desperation pursuing a course of policy which will only re act upon themselves. We advise the Anti-masons of West Pennsborough-township, therefore, to let this Liberty Pole stpnd undisturbed. National Expenditures Wo invite attention to the report of tile Secretary of the Treasury on the subject of the pnblio expenditures, and the truly eloquent and satisfactory explanatory remarks ofCoh Benton, delivered in the U. S, Senate on lho-4th inst; 'The base and wicknd conduct of the federalists every where, in charging extravagance upon the late and present administrations, ahd’lhe , unblushing effrontery with which they allege that Mr. Van Burcnvhas increased the expenses of the government from thirteen*to tliirly-riinb“nniliohs annually, renders it necessary to make the public fully acquainted with thjto whole subject, so that tills federal bug-boar may be exposed in its naked cleformit} 7 .

With this we are very much gratified, notwithstanding the Infamous design it is intended To accomplish, as it has placed the widow and family, in a situation in a pecuniary point’of vicyv’T much belter than they could have hoped to onjoy from the of her husband. Their conduct towards another of the Delegates, was very different. He was accidentally drowned, and instead of raising a subscription for his friends, i his body was left neglected until a Democrat had it conveyed “to, a shelter, and it was afterwards interred field. As there was no rcason for-supposing that they could create Tiny political capital, by paying any marked attention to him, tho Whigs utterly neglected hia body and buried him in Potters field.

Total, Democratic candidates in Italic. By the above returns it will bo perceived that Maj. Armor is elected over Coi. W. H‘. Wood burn, the candidate of the Hard Cider Buckshot War party, by a majority of- 351 votes—and add the votes received by Maj. Armor and Mr. Ander son, both democratic candidates, and the majority in this Brigade (which includes the counties of Cumberland and Perry,) is 480! A pretty round majority truly, when we take into consideration the smallness of the election. Had there .been a large turn out, and had it been generally known over the Brigade that the federalists were making it a party question, the democratic majority would have been over 1000! This is truly a glorious triumph, and shows conclusively the healthy state of public opinion in this quarter. The Buckshot Federalists strained I every, norve to carry their man: They had riders | out in both counties urging their forces to the polls, and no means were 101 l untried to elect their candidate; which, had they succeeded, would have' been trumpeted forth from Maine to Georgia as an unparalleled “Whig Victory.” They would have proclaimed it as an evidence that this stern repub lican-district was aboufto-dosert'its ancient faith, and the democracy of Cumberland and Perry.were giving in their adhesion to the Hard Cider candi date. But thanks to the virtue and intelligence of the people, the cnymyis frustrated, and democra cy friiimphanl.

AWFUL TORNADO—NATCHEZ DE . .. STROYKD. n r e indebted to the captain of steam er Vicksburg Tor ,(he following melancholy intelligence of the destruction of Natchez: I he devottd city of Natchez Was visited with.one of the biost awful and distressing calaniities which it has been our fate to wit ness. On Wednesday, about 3 o’clock p. m., a dark cloud made its appearance in the south west, preceded by a loud and contin ued roaring .of the winds; ns it came on swiftly ami with the speed-of the wind, - it was met by another, which was wafted from directly the opposite point of the compass. A description of the sublime spectacle which ensued is beyond the power of language to convey. At the moment of the concussion large masses of seeming white spray was precipitated to the earth, followed by a roar ing of (he wind as if old Eolus was there guiding and directing the storm. Houses were "their roofs and then al most immediately levelled to the earth. The air was filled with bricks and large pieces of timber, and even largo ox carls were uplift ed and thrown hundreds of ya.rds from theil original position. About sixty flat boats lying in port" were driven from the shore and sunk. The ferry boat plying between Natchez and the oppo site shore ivas capsized and sunk, and every one on board"is supposed to have perished. 1 he steamboat Hinds whs capsized and sunk —crew all lost. The steamer Prairie had her cabin entirely taken oft; crew nearly all lost.' The (wo hotels in the city were shook, one partly, the other entirely to the ground. Almost every house was more or less injur ed. It is impossible to tell how many were killed, as the streets Were filled with large piles of timber, rendering (hem impassable, and the work of extracting the bodies from the fallen houses was not completed when the Vicksburg left; some fifteen or twenty bodies hail been found. It was very difficult to find a landing, as every house under the Hill, except five or six, was blown down, and the river filled with floating fragments of houses and boats. The tornado in leavingNatclicz, followed the course of the river about 8 miles down the coast. -The courthouse in Vidalia was levelled to the ground and the parish judge killed. The trees, on the opposite side of the river, as well ns those of Natchez Island, were all torn up by the routs or deprived of their branches. The damage done to (lie crops was very severe; some plantations were deprived of all their fences, and others had evlery cabin taken a way by (he storm , JV. O. lies. From the Richmond {la.)
