The President elect arrived in the city a bout eleven o’clock to-day. -v . General Harrison and his the election, insisted strongly upon the pro priety of abstinence from-all- nrrdga.Hce,and ostentation on the part of a Republicin Pi c sident., ■ The ordinary ornamental-furniture of his dwelling.not surpassing that of weal thy citizens, was not tube tolerated, and Presi dent Van Boren was openly charged by the National lntelligencer with.-yiolating the de-, corum ofhisatation, in replying totlie inter rogatories of his fello.w-citizens, as bringing the power of his place into the discussions of the people. It was looked upon asarrogat ingnn influence'oyer the public mind, to state:his w-hen called fbr by the letters-of his opponents, as throwing his great oflice into the scale. His modest re sponses, strictly confined to the. question propounded, and iif.no instpneemaking an .allusion : tiie.'most remote .to the rival candi date, were by the National In telligencer. General Harrison has, in all things, al ready falsified the. professions of "log-cabin plainness, simplicity, and modesty, that were made to win the confidence of the yeomanry of this country. He set offTrom Cincinnati. with a speech full of egotism, addressed to the gathered, throng of that city; he embark ed ma splendid steamer fittcd un for tlie ray, and attended by a band of music;'the firing of cannon, and other martial and civic ostentation, was’ gotten Up by his Federal friends wherever he stopped, to feed his van ity. He went put of )ns way ’even to Pitts burgh tp 'extend, what his flattering organs called by (liefirie-naine given tb the journey inga of royalty, “a progress,” Wherever he went, he made speeches, and~in that at- Baltimore did not hesitate to impute corrup-. tionin ho very indireet terms to the Admin istration.whose place he is Called upon _tp_ supply. : And even here; .where he'has come to be inaugurated, he repairs in a solemn marchwith a prodigious retinue to the City Hall, to- make a display,- by-way of herald ing his own Presidential honors in advance. 7 How difierent this from the course of the real hero—the brave & magnanimous Jack son! He left the Hermitage .without a speech making display—-passed on quietly by the- nearest route to Wasjiinertnn.' staying over night at li4._»n»uie,' within ten miles of the city; and while the citizens were prepar ing 'an-escort for him, he hastened his'jour ney early in the morning, and surprised the people, and presented himself at Gadsbt’s as a private citizen, without the .ushering of cannon, A>f bells, of flags, of processions, or. City Hall reception. , ' Amidst all this ceremonious, paradeful progress, there Were, however, sad signs which attended the steps of the General: from, the start to the end of ,the journey.— The journals .friendly to him announced an carthquakeat his setting out, and the ex plosion of the bankS'welcomed him in'Balti more. From Baltimore .he brought with hjin a snow storm, and no sooner had he put his foot.on-the Pennsylvania Avenue, than the robbing'commenced, and a multitude had their pockets picked in the course of five minutes. _ These .indications presage that the President elect is not likely to make times better for all—in making them better for rogues,, he must make them worse for honest then., The General’s arrival was signalized with another omen.avhich wc could not help as sociating with .those noticed by us on the coming in-of the new year—the full of the scroll from the talons of thocagle in the' Senate chamber, bearing the Inotto of, the Union, Epluribus,tinum; and .of the hand of the Goddess of Liberty, in front of the Capitol, bearing in it the Constitution of the United States. .The unfortunate accident which occurred to-day, and blended itself. witlv-these,,waa the breaking of the cord, which, stretched' a cross the avenue, bore all the flags of,the States whiqh 'voted for - Harrison.

Correspondence of the Ohio Statesman. Gallipolis, ,0., Feb. 2d, 1841. -This place has for (he last 'ten days been in a constant state of.excitement in conse quence of the entire failure of the bank.

And of the 100,000 filled up and signed, it is said the President E. E. Smith’s name was a forgery, as it is also on three fourths of all the notes in circulation. - V In one package, over 400,000 notes and bills of exchange, drawn by John Murphy and signed by John O. Bailey; and by Mor ris Sullivan, .were found. These bills were payable some at the' U. S. Bank of Pa., and others at Banks in New. York.. AIT these were evidently frauds and to be used for fraudulent purposes, some of which had been entered on. the. .books as notes.tliscouutcd,. and forwarded to New York,for collection, and in the redemption of the notes of the Bank, checks'at sixty days had bgen drawn on this fictitious paper. ; No register pfthe. notes issued * had ever been seep by ntiy.of the Directors, nor has' it yet been, found.

Let us tako a has ty peep info bis day-book of terrors; and let pass in review tho bloody ghosls wliich rise out of tho catastrophe of that time, to remind’ up.of tho hor rors of the past: First meeta.our eye tho sliado of the 31th Jami ary,l79l. :It bears a broken orowp, and what is lCtngTjy'Tßie- grace’ of God, who Stalks a. warning.cxample. through tlio ranks of God’s anointed, and calls to just.and firm!” ’ Next rise the pale thanes of the IGlli October,' 1793.- - The pallid features are marked by sorrow, deep indeed, Init which still has not been able to extinguish the brightness of their beauty. ' On tlio snow-white, neck rest tlio blood drops qf tho guil lotine. The lovhly. head, which, once adorned with n diamond crown, now bears one of thorns, is that of Maria Antoinette, daughter of Maria The resia, sister of thc Emporqr Joscj h, and ihtr nn iiappy Louis’s consort. - • Now flits across the scene a shade whose aspect fills us with disgust. ' That bald head; with.its load of sin, fell on tlio Blh November, 1793. It is Philip of Orleans, Philip Egalite, the aimer athis brother’s crown. Two years beforeVas Louis lost his crown upon tho scaffold, Philip had from bis cabriolet gazed through his opera glass upon tlio execution of his royal brother, as an opera dillcl lanto would viow the pas-scoi of a Fanny Ksslcr. His sliadc also may serve as n warning boacon through centuries to come, reminding us of tho fowler caught in Ids own snare. Next rises from the darkness of tlie-gravo, the giant shade of the Sth April, 1194. His power ful frame, and fierce aspect, which even, in death still startle all around; point out to us tho Jupiter Filled nans of the.revolutionary Olympus, die her culean Danlon, whoso voice ha's been compared to the thunder’s roar, and his oratory to the scorching lightning-flash. Man of terror, who brought thee to the axel - Next follows the shade of the 28th July, 1791, that of Maximilian Robespierre, and close upon its heels those of his brothers, Augustin, St. Just, Couthon, Lebas, Henriot, and seventeen others of their associates. The 9 Thcrmidor, the lioliday cve of the French Revolution, was a hard day for ourheadsmanv —As he had once shmvn to them the fair head of tlicir king, so did ho on this day exhibit to the exulting populace the distorted fea tures of .the dictator; and as they shouted their ap probation, each one thought to himself—“ Now can wo sleep in peace, without the fear of being awakened by’the hangman.” But on that, night, when'exhausted Paris gave itself up to sweet re pose, could Sanson, who had annihilated the head ,of the reign of .terror, close no eye: for Robespierre and the whole train of revolutionary victims gath ered in a bloody circle around his heel, and chased the sleep from his eyelids; then did lie fold his hands and pray:—“Father in Heaven, forgive,me —I was bill the instrument!” From tliat day the Executeur des hauta auvret restpd.,froni.hialaborB; ho wiped tho bloml from hia axe, and with a lica yy.sigh, laid his hands in his lap.
