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.
The L.ydys' Book.?The September
number of this interesting publication is
on our table, with rather more than its
usual promptness. It is embellished with
a large and beautiful engraving on steel
of the "Schuylkill Water IVor&s," besides
two pages of Music.

? FOR THE JOURNAL.
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,

Whoso valor and whose wisdom must
Prove models to mankind:'

Their names your feasts will consecrato
And be precious in your oyes!
