. ridiculous humbuggcry of their "Log Cabins" and "Cider Barrels," we imagine the meeting must have been quite a grand affair. Wo judge so, from the following extract of a 'etter under date of the 17th inst. from a gentleman on the spot. lie says?"The great Harrison meeting came off on Thursday last, and I think I speak within the bounds of truth, when I say that the number of pooplo congregatod in this city, omountod to 14,000, tho fiuest looking men I ever saw. Not the least disorder occurred, nor was there any drunken men to be scon in the streets. Such an assemblage of sucli men never met South of Mason and Dixson's line. Although political opponents, I am proud to say that I am highly gratified to find tlioy can mustor so many gontlomen; and only wish they were engaged in a* better causo than that of foisting an old federalist of the Black Cockade stamp to the presidency of this glorious republic. We do not, howevor, by any means despair, but are determined, with renewed j energy, to put our shoulders to the wheel, and if possible, give them a Waterloo defeat in October I next." t Eoo Plant.?Wo found on our tabic, tho other day, an enormous Egg Plant, from the garden of j Mr, C. H. Davis, placed there tve suppose, for the purpose of having it immortalized. It measured twenty-seven inches in circumference. GENERAL IIARRI30N. Wo continue this week, "our brief extracts," in relation to tho character of the venerable whig candidate for tho presidency. The following oxtract is from Nil08* Register, published in November, 1813, 5th volume, page 172, and shows the valuo which the Common Council of New York, placed on the caroipaa of fJonnrnl IT i n risov. when the^ wore | fresh in their minds, as compared with those of Decatuti and Ferry. "At* special meeting of the Common Council of New York, a motion was made to present Mjijor General Harrison with a sword and the freedom of the city, as the like had been bestowed on Decatur, Perry, ami others. But the motion was NEGATIVED?Ayes 5?NOES 12." .Thunder Storm.?The Columbia papers give an account of a severe thunder storm which visited that city on Thursday night the 20th inst. Three buildings were e o struck by lightning, Mr. S. Boatwri jut's, w the Theological Seminary, and the Arsenal. No material Damage was done, however to any of the buildings. At the i Arsenal the- fluid passed down the rod' until within 4 1-2 or 5 feet of the ground' and then broke through a brick wall about ? 20 inches thick, at one of the staples and ' coursed along the different rows of Cannon, passing from one gun to another until it reached the end of the row, when it glided along the floor and out of the door. One gun carriage was shattered a little, but no serious damage was done. We are indebted to the Temperance Advocate for the particulars we have noted.

Mr. Editot: As the time is rapidly approaching when the people will be called upon to elect some suitable individual to represent them in the next Congress, it has occurred to a number of your fellow citizens that it would not be amiss to enlarge the field for election, by adding to the nomination already befoic the public. In doing so we exDlicitlv disclaim anv de sire to do violence to individual feeling. We would therefore take the liberty of nominating JOHN G. BOWMAN Esq. as a gentleman in every respect qualified. I Whatever objections may have been once entertained to Mr. Bowman, it is believed they do- not operate at this time. He is now, .and has been for some time, in the ranks of the great Democratic party, lending us,' as far as his opportunities allow, the aid of Ills powerful talent, in upholding the principles and policy of the present Administration. We, in common with many others, regard Mr. Bowman as having eminent claims upon the confidence of the District,?such as we know the people will not overlook. His talents ore admitted by all parties to be .of the highest order, and to these, he unites the accomplishments ot the scholar and the orator?qualifications which will enable him triumphantly to meet the most potent artillery of the modern manufactory falsely yclept whig. We have not consulted Mr. Bowman, v ?ml /tAnoaniiAnllrr iln nAt L'nntn OIIU VWUOIVJUQIIH^ uw ???"?? ??
