Tho people of Missouri arc here by tho thou sand the old and the young, and the greatest enthusiasm prevails. Never, in the whoTocourse of my life, did I witness a more imposing, a more gratifying, a more heart-thrilling scene than die one I have beheld this day. The town of Rocliport, as you are well aware, is pleasantly situated on the Missouri. In the rear of the town, Lb an elevation of ground, with a beautiful grove. Here the Convention have assembled. A more appropriate, convenient and delightful spot eould not be found. At 12 o'clock tho different delegations were formed in line of march on the river bank in the order as published in the Times of lust week. After they arrived on the spot, and the direct .ions from tho Marshal had been given for the future movements, &c, the hour for dinner having arrived, the Convention took a recess for two hours. At the proper hour, the Convention assembled, w organized, &c. Tho president then announced the order and manner of discuss ion as follows: Each speaker to confine his re marks to one hour and a half a Whig was to open the discussion and to be followed by any Loco Foco, or any opposer of Harrison, and al ternately Whigs fit Loco Focos to the conclusion of the Convention. Whereupon Col. Jas. II . Birch, Chairman of the Central Committee, arose and addressed the assembled multitude the allot ted time, in one of tho most impressive, eloquent and able speeches ever made in Missouri. He touched upon the several great topics of tho pres. ent political canvass, and handled them in a style every way worthy of tho man and the oc casion. At the conclusion of Col. B.. the Pres ident announced that the stand was then free for any friend of the Administration, and that fifteen minutes would be allowed for any to come for ward. But lo! no Lion of Democracy appeared, no one dabeo show his head in the stand; and I verily believe, had the noted Tom Benton him self been present, he would have shrunk on this occasion. The fifteen minutes having expired, and no Federal Loco daring to show himself, Judge Robihsoh, formerly of Kentucky, was called to the stand; and if there is any truth in historical sketches, or descriptions, we had in Judge R. a second John Randolph. Never did 1 hear a more excentric, and at the same time, true and fair exposition of the abuses of this or any other government, than tVis speaker gave us. At the lime of writing this he is still speaking. It is impossible for me to give you any idea of the number present on this occasion. Some say . ten, others six thousand. I would say that there were nearer five thousand than any thing else. As the Messenger is waiting at my side, and the speeches commingled with the fiequcntshoutg of acclamation from the crowd, is piercing me, 1 cannot give you even a concise account of the proceedings thus far. It is sufficient to say that the Rocheport Convention has more than equaled the expectations of the most sanguine. Yours, &c. C. C. C. PROSPECT OF THE WHIGS. We think there is great reason to hope, and but little to doubt, of the success of the Whig party ia electing a majority of the members of the next House of Representatives of this State. At the last election, as our friends recollect, the proper distribution of some two hundred votes would have carried the legislature, and tared the state from the disgrace of being again represented by Mr. Benton in the Senate. Let us turn to the record, and see how this matter stands : With ordinary exertion, our friends will undoubtedly succeed in the counties of St. Louis, St. Charles, Warren, Montgomery, Callaway, Boone, Lincoln, Pike, Marion, Clarke, Ralls, Mon roe, Randolph, Macon, Ray, Clay, Lafayette, Sa line, Cooper, Jefferson, St. Genevieve, Washington, and New Madrid, A MAJORITY and lliey have a even chance in Carroll, Caldwell, Lewis, Frank lin, Rives, Crawford, St. Francois, and Howard ! making together more than two thirds of the popu lor branch of the legislature !? Our friends at a distance may consider us ever sanguine in setting dowu our owa county a an oven chunce against the corrupt administration of Mr. Van Buren, seeing that we have no candidates in the field ; but we beg them to dismiss their fears on this subject, and announce the fact that the Whigs of Howard will present fur the action of the people, the most popular and talented ticket ever agreed upon in the county, by either, or both parties united. Cuit such a ticket be elected I In ull sincerity wc ,:,:ve change wrought tiuou the public by Ilia ha e practices of Van Buren and his under strappers the young men who have stepped into manhood the removals to and from the county- combined with other causes powerfully acting upon the public mind, will produce the result referred to, and we should not be surprised if the Whig ma jority marches forth in respectable numbers. Of one thing our loco friends may be well ail vised. The Whigs are not afraid, as their adver saries falsoly and privately charge, to show their men and their rnmcir-LEs, but will exhibit both in proper time, and on an appropriate occasion. Their principles are well understood to advance the great est good of the greatest number, and their men will be seen to be above reproach in the walks of public and private life. Such principles and such men ought to unite a majority of Howard, and we believe they will. OLD HICKORY STILL IN THE FIELD. We have heard it said, that in a certain county in Pennsylvania, a portion of tho Democrats, believed, that Thos. Jefferson was President until Gen. Jackson was inaugurated, that at the present day they believe Old Hickory is at the head of af fairs at Washington, and that they Relieve they are voting for him still. Wo do not, however, vouch for the truth of this. But we are informed by a re spectable gentlemen, that in a certain county in this State, a large number of the opponents of Har rison sincerely believe that Gen. Jackson is still President and that he is again a candid to and they expect to vote for him next fall. The following anecdote is related: A Loco Foco candidate for some office, in one of our counties after blustering away on the stump, some considerable time about "federalism," and even had the impudence to speak of "retrenchment and reform," he broke into a most eloquent culogism of Gen. Jackson, and called upon his friends in tho name of Heaven, to come to his suppurt that he had been triumphantly eleeted once and that ho must be again, or our liber ties were lost. Our friend, who was standing by, observed to him, "My friend Gen. Jackson is not a candidate for the Presidency Mr. Van Buren and Gen. Harrison are the candidates." "You can't make me swallow that," replied the orator, "Gen. Jackson is the candidate, and if I knew I shoul d go to h 1 the next minute I'd vote for him'" Upon this, another arose and said he 'did'ntcxact'y know as Gen. Jackson was the candidate, but, the candi date for Governor said the other day, in our town that it was all the same thing to vote for Van Buren or Gen. Jackson, that they were both to keep in their footsteps, and the devil himself could'iit stop ham from voting for one one or tothcron "em any how." O-The last Democrat contains some eight or ten columns from Mr. Jxo. Jajjesom, on the general appropriation bill about two thirds of which is intended to prove Gen. arrison an abolitionist! The remarks of John are about as true as if we were to charge him with being in favor of abolish ing still house and whiskey which the aforesaid John would at any time risk his life to preserve ! Gen. Harbison will adhere to his oft repeated prin ciples in favor of the rights of slave holders, and John may stand up or fall down fur the rights of the still house just as he pleases. A CANDIDATE CORNERED. The following articles explain themselves. Doc tor Curd, of Fulton, and W. Collins and his asso ciates in Boonville are known in all this quarter, and no man will dispute their statements. The Judge holds himself together as badly in his can vass abroad as he did at home. The truth is, the dignity of tho office of Governor is beyond the conceptions of Thomas Reynolds, and bewilders a mind which is clear enough in reference to such things as the Judge has been used to. Nick Biddlc, President of the U. S. Bank now! It is as bad as the Icoo who offered to bet a few days since that General Jackson was yet President and a candidate against General Harrison! Taking both sides of the Currency Bill is no new thing with the Judge. Frtim the Doom ilk Observer, June 11. "Noticing some weeks ago, a speech delivered by Judge Reynolds at this ulace. we stated thai he said that the currency bill introduced into the lust legislature was not a measure of the Democratic party. Since that, he has been represented as advo cating the measure at other places, and conse quently the Whiff journals have charged him verv justly with being inconsistent. Perceiving the ef- lect which this is likely to have in the gubernatorial election, the Locos are endeavoring to make the impression mat ttie Judge has been misrepre sented that he has never, at any time, opposed the measure, that the charge of his having dune so is false, and they defy anv one to Droduce the proof. bince our silence under these circumstances. might perhaps be misconstrued into an acknowl edgment that we had misrepresented Judge Rey nolds, we have thought proper to repeat what wc said before, and to produce the proof to support ii. When our statement was published here, why was ituot denied at the lime by tho Register, or by some of "the party." who heard the sneech 1 Be cause the Editor of the Register knew the state ment we made was true they all know it to be true no one pretended to deny it. Hundreds spoke of it, and all agreed that the stutemcnt we made was correct. This without any thing inure, is abundant proof that what wo said was true ; but for further proof we are authorized to refer those who may entertain any doubts in regard to ti e truth of our stutement, to Janes L. Cullins, Ed ward Gray. R. S. Lcveriilge, G. W. Harvey. &c &.C. &c , gentlemen whese characters tiro kiiown, abroad as well as ot home, to be unimpeachable. From the Fulton Reformer if Saturday. Notice was taken in the last number of the "Fulton Reformer" of Judge Reynolds' address at this place, in which it is said that the Judge spoke of Nicholas Biddle as being then the President of the United Statos Bank of Pennsylvania. This has been denied here by some of his devotees. I reit erate it, not because I believe it concerns the pub lic essentially, but because I have been accused of misrepresentation in relation to the Judge's opin ion. If the point should be regarded either by him or his satelilcs so important as to make the proof of my statement necessary, I will prove it by a host of testimony which could nut be questioned by a criminal court, in a trial of life or death. I. CURD. LION OF THE DAY AT ROCHEPORT. An appropriate caricature of Col. Benton, in full dress, with a twenty dollar note carelessly exposed in tho folds of his cravat. Wonder what that mcaut 1 ONE JOINT OF THE TAIL PARALYZED. Mr. Charles Fisher, of Salisbury, N. C, of famous memory, who was elected as anti-Van B:i ren man, and who is in Congrus as devoted a palace worshippers as Vandorpoel himself, charged in a public address to his constituents that Mr. Clay op. pocd the appointment of Gen Harrison as Minis ter to Columbia, on the ground of incapacity. II. C. Jones, Esq. ot that town, as sterling a patriot as ever breathed, thinking that his fox-like friend Charles was in a way to be fairly caught at last, addressed a note to Mr. Clay on the subject, and received the following reply, which we copy from the Watchman: Waiiiinotox, May 12th, 1310. Dear Sir: f received your favor, stating that Mr. Charles Fisher, the member of Congross from your district, in a public address which he made to some of his constituents, asserted llmt I had oppos ed the appointment of Gen. Harrison, as Minister lo Columbia, because of his utter incapacity tor the appointment, and inquiring of me as to the truth of the assertion. I have no hesitation in saying that there is no foundation whatever for the assertion. The ap pointment of Genenal Harrison, as Minister Ple nipotentiary nnd Envoy Extraordinary to the Re public Columbia, had my entire concurrence, and. besides the asual credentials, I entrusted to his care a private letter to General Bolivar, the Presi dent of that Republic. 1 know not on what authority Mr. Fisher has undertaken to make the assertion attributed to him, certainly none Irom me : and yet he has enjoyed abundant opportunities, during the present session oi Vyonjrress. to ascertain from me personally wlie ther the above assertion was true or not. But ne ver have I had, at any time, any conversation what ever with him, in respect to Gen. Harrison's mis sion. You are at liberty to show this letter to Mr. Fi sher himself, or to make any use of it. 1 am, respectfully, yourob t serv t. 11. CLAY. II. C. Jones, Esq. From the Stockholder. A gentleman from the adjoining county of Clia riton, was hero on Saturday last, for tho purpose of transacting business at our Democratic Bank the regulations of which are to be "open from 0 to 3'clock." To his surprise he found not only the Cleik, but the Cishier absent at a horse race! On enquiring if that was tho manner in which public officers attended to their duties in Fayette, he was informed that not only wero the officers of the Bank ubsent, but that the race was between the clerk of that institution and the Postmaster ! Is it for such men, and to encourage them in such practices, that better and equally competent citizens are proscribed and is this the price which a moral and religious people pny for the name of " Democracy? Note, ly the Editors. Dr. Lowry the respect able President of the Bank in this place, was heard to declare a few days since, that "the bank ing business was all a damned rascally con cern." It may be so, as at present carried on, in this stale. We will not, at all events, dispute the word of the worthy President but this much we will say that the next legislature will most probably look into the conduct of tho men, and investigate the causes, as well as the effect of the measures, of the shop which is called " the Bank of Missouri." From the St. Louis Bulletin. fc5-On the 4th of March, 1930, John M. Clayton, of Delaware, one of the most eloquent sons of that State, thus expressed himself in the United States Senate, in his speech on Mr. Foot's resolution. Who does not see, in reading the eloquent close of the paragraph, that the noble prophecy, which fell like inspiration from his lips, is already about to bi: fulfilled. Take another case, and inform us why the eal- lant Harrison, the hero of Fort Meigs, the victor at Tippecanoe and the Thames a veteran in coun cil, as well as in the field distinguished for his virtues in all the relations of the citizen, the sol dier, and the statesman; why. I ask. was he pro. scribed as unfit to represent his country abroad, and withdrawn trom Columbia, to make room lor Thos. P. Moore! He had scarcely arrived at Bouota the ink was still fresh on the Executive record which informed the President that it was tho ad vice of the Senate that bo should represent us there, when the order for his removal was announced. This could not have been done for any official mis conduct. There had been no tiino to inquire into mat. v as his fidelity distrusted Ihim! or how did the public good require his dismissal! Think you it will tell well in Uieanmls ol' hislory that he who had so often perilled hie and limb, in the vigor of uiaiihoood, to secure the blessings of liberty to outers, was punished tor the exerci-; ol the elect ive franchise in his old age! Sir, it was an act, disguise it as we may, which, by holding out the idea that he had lost the confidence of his country, might tend to bring down his grey hairs with sor row to the grave. But the glory he acquired by the campaign on the Wabash, and bv those hard earned victories for which he received the warmest acknowledgments of merit from the Legislature of rveniucKy, and tne tull measure ot a JNation a thanks in the resolutions of Congress, can never be effected; and any ell'ort to degrade their honored object will recoil on those who make it, until other men, in better days, shall properly estimate his worth, and again cheer his declining years with proofs of his country's confidence and gratitude.

Harrison, for president. A. F. HENDRICKS, DAVID MUNSEY, JEREMIAH MUNSEY, G. W. JOHNSON, ROLING R. REDWINE, NELSON GRAY. Hear ! 0 ve People! Moses Dawson 'Edi tor of the Cincinati Phrenix, and one of tho most notoriously violent Locofocos in the whole coun- try, wrote tho Biography of General Harrison several years ago, but ns for certain reason?, he has t9 keep in the party traces, he now opposes tho Ucneral a election, yet ho is compelled to pay the highest tribute to the General's character nnd services. Just hear what one ol your leaders say of honest Old Tip, ye L0C03! and then loll us your candid opinion ol the man who can wring such unwilling praise as this from a political ene my. In a letter to General Harrison, Dawson says "that it is a painful as well as an ungracious task to give opposition to the elevation of a friend to any office, I am free to declare, and more par ticularly is it so to me, when that office is the highest to which any man can aspire; but I flutter myself that this circumstance is the most conclu sive evidence of my disinterestedness in the ca.se. In the work alluded lo, 1 have represented you as a brave and capable commander, a disinterested patriot, and an honest man; all which 1 did and do yet believe you to be, and 1 to the utmost ol my weak ability defended you against what I con scientiously believe to be the foulest slanders and and of those counts in your favor I have never yet had reason to repent. It", in my future re marks, then, I may impugn your political opi nions, or contest your judgment on constitutional questions, 1 must not be considered as doubt'ngof the purity of your motives or the honesty of your intentions.' From the Baltimore Patriot. A Sign trom Old Frederic The subjoined communication is taken from the Frederick Her ald of Saturday. In giving it place, we may men tion 1 hat the writer, Dr. John W. Dorsey, is one of the oldest and most respectable physicians of r rederic county; one who has enjoyed as large a practice in his profession as any physician in Maryland, and who has rendered services to his country under the lamented Decatur, as a surgeon in the U. S. Navy: Liberty Town Md. May IS, 1S10. To the Editor of the Frederic Herald: As the friends of Mr. Van Buren in this elec tion district have placed my name upon their com mittee to attend the Van Bum Convention, which is to assemble in Frederic on Monday the 8th of June next I feeling incumbent upon me to adout this mode of publicly announcing, that 1 am no longer a supporter of the present National Administration. It is true that I was amongst the original friends of Gen. Jackson, and sustain ed his administration throughout his two succes sive terms, that confiding in the fair promices of the present incumbent, I gave him zealous support at the election of 1839, and have since, until a recent period acted in concert with his r olitical friends in derence to both State and General Gov eminent but I can act with them no longer. The measures and policy of Mr. Van Buren have been so disastrous to the general piospeiity ofthe country, that with all their preferences v( early association and party attachment bearing upon ina, I cannot longer render to him my sup. port. 1 believe that the interests of the people of the United States require a change of rulers, and as one of the peopK'. 1 shall exert myself so far as my humble abilities w:llauvail to affect that change. And in turning from the support of Mr. Van Buren to that of Gen. Win. Henry Harrison of Ohio, I do it wilh no reluctant spirit. With the dittin guished claims of Harrison I have long been faun, liar. Whether we look upon his services in the battle field or in the councils of the nation ov as a minister to a foreign couit there is perhaps, no living man in the United States who merits so large a share of public approbation. The impar tial pages of history have long since recorded his tiiumphs and his great public services, and it would bo as u-cless for me here to enumerate and applaud the n as it is degrading to the partisans of the piescnt administration to attempt t diparago them in the estimation of tho public The fume of our Heroes and Statesmen is the jewel of the people, and they will preserve it from detriment. That Gen. Harrison will receive that reward at the hands of the people of the United Stales which belongs to distinguished merit ami great public ser. vices when they are called upon to cast their bal lots in November noxt'is the sincere wish of Your ob't servant, J.
