HARRISON & TYLER IEE TING. Pursuant to a cull of the County Corn• mittee, a large and respectable number of citizens favorable to the election of Har e risen and Tyler, assembled iu tie town of Warrior Mark. The meeting was called to order by Maj. Stephens, ohs moved that Jacob Van 'Vries, Esq. be appointed President, and Dr. Baldwin Secretary. On motion of G. W. Elder, that the Chair appoint a committee of five to draft teso• lutions exressive of the sense of the meeting, the following. named gentlemen were appointed: G. NV. Elder. John Sis ler, '4ej. Stephens, Wm. Hutchinson, and S. 'N. Stonebraker. On motion of J. Van Tries. Esq. Dr. Baldwin was called upon to adilress the meeting. Alter an absence of a few iniretee, G. W. Elder, chairman from the committee to prepare resolutions, reported the following, winch were unanimously adeleed: Resolved, That g:ti'd the present administration as being diametrically up per-et, to the best interests of our country. Lang have we considered ti . .e principles of the presert adininio.ration with painful interest, and have always regarded them as repugnant to every principle of wound policy- W leek upon the exulting of our opponents at the passage of the Sub trees, ry. as a tneaeure of a momentary cliareciee ; we hold that the sober second tneug.:i the people will prove that they haveonly. with all their exertions, reared up an institutioa that will eventually re coil on their own heeds. Like the Car-, thagenian Genrral they may exclaim, ano ther such victory out we are undone. Perhaps there may be same that ace obli ged by Executeve patronrge, and stimula ted by a blinJ and infatuated party zeal, are prepered sencti zn any measure that Kinderhook ie his infinite wisdom may suggest. Resolved, That Martin Van Buren, un der the aueri-es of retrenchment and re form, has int,•eleced aispecies of extrava-! gance and revalty within the people's mansion at sa ;ellington, equalled only in the must osteniatious courts of degenerate European Princes. Those geod old re publican maxims of economy, which here tofu' e characterized our former Presi• dents, appet r to be repugnant to the re fined and exquisite feelings of Democrat ic Martin. Resole-eel, That Gen. W. If. Harrison is emphatically the people's candidate. In him we recognize the successful Gen eral, the Statesman, and the thorough' tried patriot. We look forward to his elevation to the Presidential chair as a period or grateful interest to every patri-, ot. when otey have in pats discharged a debt of eratituile, and also as a period whee these clouds that overshadow our political atmosphere will be dispelled, and by the genial influence excited by his wholesome measures, we must hail his accession as an evidence of returning prosperity. Resolved, That by the neutrality ob• served by Martin Van Buren relative to the "carat' question, he has paralysed ev ery effort, and with an unrelenting and destructive hand borne down upon our wholesome institutions ; has prostrated the energies of a manufacturing. and cosi. mercial people; our country abounding with the most valuable minerals the manefacturing of which in many sections of it lets been abandoned, and why this general prostration. Oh Martin desired to try his specie project, he wanted to, reduce flown to the real, because we' cannot mild a successful competition with, Eureasan manufacturers we have to sus petal ; like one of old he says thus far and ha shalt thou go with vour advan cite; eresperity. Your political principles are. cee'aininating, but we are persuaded that 411 injured people at the ballot box wttt say to him, as Brutus said of Cmsar, "I 'ove Caesar, hut I love Rome better." Resolved, That we will use all honora ble meens to Secure the election of Gen. Win. H. Harrison and Gov. Tyler, and wider their prompt and efficient measures thiek teat the United States will re turn to. their former grandeur, and we do cordially adopt the sentiment of the Hon. H. A. 11 ten, fur our motto, "union fur the sake of the Union." And dolt we view the many changes for Ilarai•eii, as, an eVlfiellee of returning seneitia as our opinion has ever been, although some poer iteladed sycophants still go for Vanl Buren, we have reason to believe that ' aineoget them there is still some spark of Rele , alic.anisin, and that yet it will en• e :heir pour contracted minds, and serve as a stimulus for to arouse their a.e.: sensibilities to a sense of their (lea, J n their. country, and cast their suf. fri•-• for the Hero of the Thames, as the 11,- • sof their independent liberties.

Without any fault of our own, and be iyond our power to prevent it, has our pa per been delayed two weeks. Our paper makers, who are under contract to furnish us paper at three weeks' notice, rece:ved from us two months' notice. But, unfor tunately, their wagoner was absent, and, they sent our paper by the way of Ilar 'risburg to the canal, as long ago as Aug. 12th, and owing to some neglect, or mis carriage, it did not arm ire in time even for ,our last week's p.lp,r, although it should 'have been here in time for the wed: be fore. It was out of our power to define where it was detained, amid consequently we have waited patiently till it came to The loss is emphatically our own, fm to all our subscribers we furnish the cem. plement of 52 numbers for a year. It is the first time within a year that we have been so unfortunately situated. We trust our friends will pity, instead of cen mre us. The Loco Focus did nominate a ticket lor this county. What a patient set of lellows they are. They will allow them selves to be made the pack horses of par ty, when they can have no hopes of suc cess. Ominous and strange coinci. deuce. Three weeks ago the followers of Van' Buren in these "diggins" thought that they would dress up the little man, in the cloths of his old grand pap, and if possi ble, call forth it little enthusiasm in hfs behalf. Consequently, a large "hickory pole" was prepared to hoist,up into notice the mighty name of little Martin in com— pany with R. M. Johnson. The "man what owns the canal," it appears thought the name of honest Davy should be part and parcel of this sane flag, and that the same : breeze should untold to the won dering eyes of the people, "kartin Van Buren, R. M. Johnson and David R. Porter." This last name made some of the people who had neither the fear nor love of office, to regulate their sensibili ties, without any hesitation say that the last name had no business on the flag, for he was no candidate. But it was so; 'and on . Tuesday of Court week the three names were reared some hundred feet or so above the Feads of the groundling s amid the shouts of the faithful, and the (thundering of _--a little gun, Big as a leg Of maple, On a little domed cart, A load for father's cattle. lip went the names on old Hickory's flag staft--and there they remained un til Saturday night, when the news of the western elections arrived in our town, then dreadful to relate, the frame of the flag and the two first names fell to the earth by their nun deadly weight, and tore the flag int,Ao, leaving noldng but the name of their own David It. to the bi ecze. We have come to the rollowing couch sion, either Martin and his collegue were ashamed to be seen in Porter's company ; else Ptrter, seeing that their days arc numbered, was anxious to kick them 01l in time, that he can mix with the crowd; or else it was the western news which tore off the two first names, and left the last one standing, es lie does not lease hip office at the same time of the others.

We learn from report (we were not present) that that body met according to former usage, and with the best feelings of unanimity, nominated the following ticket. A ticket that ;we imagine there is not an individual in our county doubt', will be most triumphantly elected. We have seen some evidences which in dicate that there are some who are attach• ed to the Loco Voce party who will en• deavor to excite some petty jealousies on the subject of the division of the county. fie put our friends on their guard against all such tricks. Let not local feelings induce you to go for or against any man; and the hollow hearted professions of these men will be for the attainment of • rue end—the defeat of a portion of the ticket. They will undoubtedly promise v hat they will do. Yet, like the great ,Bead of their party, they will violate ev. cry pledge of the kind, and ildhcre with their wonted flu ourtss to their ova party ' nominations. Let the friends of flarri , son disregard their falsehood and decep tion, and go on their own way rejoicing. The following is the 1 HARRISON DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

They are stuck up at every place where they are g to al low them to stand. This putting of Old Hickory's clothes on to little Martin, may seem very correct to the party, but to us it calls up our boyish days, when our little bandy legs were stuck into an old pair of papa's boots, and we were try ing to tread in the footsteps of our great predecessor, although our puny legs could hardly step the length of a single track. What these hickory poles have to do with Van Buren, is beyond our concep• tion. Nevertheless, there is nothing we detest more than the interference with these political rites of the Van Buren par ty. If they want to rear their poles with flags and brooms thereon, in the name of all that isjust, let them do so. Many of them think it is right, and they feel just as confident of the right as we do, when we carry our barrel of hard cider. As far as we are concerned, we had much rather assist them to raise their mementoes of Jackson's folly and mis• rule, than cast a straw in the way of their purpose. • We have been led to these remarks from having been told that a pole inten den for erectior. up Shavers Creek was cut in several . parts by some knave or fool. The man who would be guilty of such an act, should always be watched when about your premises. We have tier patience with such acts. No matter wl- o , done it, it it was done by one of the op position party, w ho thus attempted to in. terfere with the opinions and wishes of his neighbors, because he difrered with them, he deserves to be kicked from the ranks of every party; and every lover of a freeman's rights, should treat him with contempt and scorn. 11, on the other hand, it was done with the intention of casting the blame upon the opposition par. tv by one of those who would be anxious to sre it reta•ed, he should mart the scoffs. the sneers and the kicks of all, at every 'urn.

Infliantr. Previous to the electi,,n in this state, every Loco, and every Loco Fuco paper were shouting forth the certain prospect of Van Buren's triumph in that state. So confident were they, that they got of Howard to resign his seat in Congress, t, run as their candidate for Governor, pro • soloing, of course, that they should ha' a no difficulty in electing one of the same kidney to fill his place.
