"Who will go for Tip & Tyler ?E3 Whigs of Drallleboro, you are hereby violrficd that a meeting trill be held at the TOWN HALL in the West Village, on Monday the Slh day of June at G o'clock, P. 21, for the purpose of appointing Delegates Jo the Stale Contention, to be held at Bur lington the 25th June next, and to transact other, business of oreat importance to the Whig cause. It is desirable and important that every Whig, if possible, should be present, and 1hal the . Whigs of Braiileboro should not be behind those of neighloring towns in their efforts to secure the election of Harrison and Tyler, and the candidates which nay bit nominated at the State Convention, for Slate ojjictrs the coming year. . WM. W. FESSENDEN, ' ' for County Committee. 53" .We hardly know when we have atten ded a more interesting and spirited political meeting, than that of the Young Men's Whig Atsocialion, which took place on Monday eve niogthe 19th. Our inclination would lead us, did time permit, to notice the entire proceed ings of the meeting, but we must forego that pleasure, and briefly state, that the gathering was large, ana1 from the perfect silence .which reigned, (excepting occasionally n round of beers) during the time occupied by the differ ent speakers, we nre satisfied that others were as much interested as ourselves. The meet ing was ably and eloquently addressed by Judge Hyde of Guilford, Hon. W. II. Ranney ofTownsbend and Hon. Samuel Elliot of the "West Village. Such meetings cannot fail to do good, tending as they do to keep the great Presidential question fresh in the minds of the people. We were gratified to see so many of the farmers of (his and neighboring towns pres ent, as it shows they arc not forgetful of their interests and the important part which they must take in the fall elections. On the whole the meeting went off finely, and we have no -doubt it will tell on the next election. tEJ" Tory Meeting at Wooostook. It will be seen by the following article from the Vermont Times that the great gathering whirl) was predicted by the Tory papers, of the "true Democracy," as they falsely term themselves, 'has taken place, and we suppose the party now consider the State safe for Van Buren. We .have a word to say, about it. Gentlemen To xics, you will have to get up anumberof meet jjngs ofa similar kind before this State goes for Van Buren. If we are not mistaken, you will .find yourselves minus in the full. It is always well to .keep up a show and an appearance of strength if you .do not posses it. Go ahead Gentlemen Locos, you will find the Whigs ready for the race at any time: "The Van Buren State Convention assem bled at Woodstock, on Wednesday last. In stead at numbering 4 or 5000, as was expected from the loud call upon the "faithful," wc un derstand that but 6 or 800 delegates were in attendance. A committee was, appointed to nominate State officers, which, after much di-j-isionf ,(ihe vole standing 17 for Dillingham and 13 for Smilie,) brought in the name of Paul Dillingham, Jr. Esq., as candidate for Governor, and E.

The great design which the present administration has been labouring to accom plisli these eight years is, to make the rich richer, and the poor poorer. For this reason the vile Sub-Treasury Scheme is brought for wardits friends loudly proclaim the object of it to be the reduction of wages f properly. All the President's messages have tended to this. Senator Buchanan in a lato speech in Congress, openly said he would lllte to have the wages of labourers reduced to twenty five cents vcrdal Yet this party is called the friend of the poor man, and the Whigs their en emies. Senator Davis in a late speech thus exposes this iiUMoua : "Suppose that wages and property will be reduced one half by this bill that is, if wages are now a dollar a day, they will be half dollars and if brief and mutton are tight cents a pound they will be four; and so of all the productions of the United States, and of all property created here. Upon this stole of facts, as things ore, the labourer would have at the expiration of twenty days' labour, twenty dol lars to provide supplies for himself and family. As they will be, he will have ten dollars. Now bo it remembered that we buy and sell in foreign markets by their standard of currency, and lowering wages and properly hero is to have no effect there, according to the reason ing ofihe advocates of the Bill, as their cur rency rtiust regulate the price of wages & pro ducts; but cotton is to sell & goods to bebought as if no change had taken place. Goods, there fore, will come into this country no cheaper. If then, the laborer goes into market with his money, at his wages arc, he will have twenty dollars to expend in tea, coffee, and sugar, and the thousand necessaries which come from for eign countries; but if he goes into it as they will ten dollars under the operntion of the new theory it is plain, therefore, that with the same amount of labour he can purchase but half as much foreign merchandise; in oth er words, it will in effect be doubled in price; while it is apparently the sainc." 5" It is not to be denied, "that a powcrlul and desperate struggle, will be made by the Tories in this State, to carry in their candi dates, and wc may as well understand it, and be prepared for the contest first as last. A regular organization is going on in their ranks, and they will not leave a single thing UHdone, which would in any way contribute to their success. It is our duty, as watchmen to sound the alarm when danger is apprehended, and we now do it, and say to every Whig buckle on your armor and keep it on, the campaign lias hut juM commenced; a few of the out posts of the enemy have been taken, but the citadel has not yet been stormed. The enemy with which you have to con tend is wily and artful ; resorting to any means which will favor them, not coming out as a noble foe, but lurking about npd keeping up an Indian warfare which ts more to be fear ed than any other. Is there a Whig who will be so indifferent to the good of the cause which he has espoused, that will not from this timo'forward rally and hold himself in readiness for the coming politi cal contest. If there is, he should be cast off; we want no such men ; they will operate like a dead weight upon the party, retarding its pro gress, and injuring the cause. We tell you then, now, and we hope the warning will be heeded, that the Torits art awake, putting forth all their energies, and doing their ut most to defeat us. Shall wc suffer a disgrace ful defeat, when we can with case, if wc are united and diligent, win the battle. Wc say, no, and lei every Whig freeman say no, and prepare to do his duty, and wo arc sure of success. There is no doubt, no uncertainty, as to the result, If wc put forth the proper ef forts. There is n certainty if inactivity and apathy, such as was manifested at the last State election prevails, that we slinll be defeat ed., Wake up 'then, Whigs of Windham County, be at your posts, whenever the watch .word of "Harrison and Reform" is sounded in your ears. Let the Tories see that you are prepared to do your duty, and that you yet re main firm and true to the great principles laid down by Washington. tC?" Pennsylvania Movma. This State whfch gave Martin Van Buren her support in 1837 seems now as it were determined to withdraw it. We .'.'avc for some time observed a tendency on the part of the people of this State to rid themselves ofloco Focoism and to abandon Van Buren and his wild schemes we are now more confirmed than ever in this opinion, and are fully of the opinion that there is an equal if not more than an equal chance that Harrison will carry the State. In con firmalion of these views we quote the follow ing from the Philadelphia Herald ; "Consternation and dismay sit on every Lo co Foco face, brooding oyer ruin in black des pair. The whole Presidential contest is aban doned. The enemy strike their flag before a gun is fired. Pennsylvania is for Harrison by about 20,000 majority! The entire west of the State rings with his name. Every hill, every valley, displays the victorious banner of Ihe "log cabin and hard cider." Never before has the popularity of a candidate grown so rap idly as that of Harrison. The great littleness of tho incumbent (the only thing in which he is great) adds immensely to the torrent in favor of Harrison. This, joined to his imbecilitv and corruption, has overthrown Van Buren, who is ndw "horf do combat." Pennsylvania is now the safest Whig.Stale in the Union So wc6aid last Dccember,1iavso wesay now'." tC3" A Good Bubiness. The net proCts of the Steam Ship Great Western for the year 1839 amounts to $50,000. She has conveyed 1036 passengers, 96,578 letters, 19,571 news papers, and 121-i tons of goods, besides par cels. This is certainly a good business for such hard times. The" Whigs of New Hampshire hold aState Convention at Coneord on the 17th of Jane, Ky The tory papers have made numerous estimates as to the expenses Incurred at the va rious Whig Conventions which have been held in different parts of the Country. Wc rccol led seeing in some Tory paper nn estimate of the expense of the Baltimoro Convention, which according to thcil account amounted to some five or sir hundred thousand dollars. They seem desirous the Whigs should not waste their time and money. We wish they would have tho same cure for the public purse, which they would seem to have for the noor Whios.

It is with feelincs of burning indignation that wc notice the meanness nnd political degredalion of the eocnlled Democratic (but more properly ouice hunters ) ionveriiion held at Baltimore last week. It is lime that the independent press, of a true Demo cratic stamp, sneak out, when a body of men, professing to speak the wishes of the Democracy ol this Union, dart to iiesttnte when the question is between the gal lant soldier and' tho noble-hearted patriot now filling the chairof the.

Free Trader Extra, Friday1 Evening, May 80 o'clock DREADFUL VISITATION Of PROY IDENCE. About one o'clock, on Tuesdny, tho 7lh ins:., the attention of the citizens of Natchez wns, attracted bvnn unusual nnd continuous ronrins of thunder to tho southwnrd, at which point hung masses of black clouds some Ol mem sinnonary, nnu uwino nin ing along with under currents, but all, driv in a little ent of north. As thero was evi denlly much lightning the continued roar of growling thunder, although noticed and spoken of by many, created no parliculur ulnrin. The dinner bells in tho Inrgo hotels had rung, a little before two o'clock, nnd most of our citizens were silling at tncirtauies, wnen, suddenlvi the atmosphere was duikened, sd as to require tho Hunting oi rnnutes, auu, in a few moments afterwards, the rain was pre cipitated in tremendous cataracts rather than in i rons. In nnotner moment me lornauo, in all its wrath, was upon us. The strong est buidings shook ns if tossed with nn enrth quako: the air was black' with whirling ed dies of houso walls, roofs, chimnies, huge timbers lorn from diMnnt ruins, nllhol through the nir ns if thrown from n mighty catamilt. Tho utmosnhcre soon became ligther, and then such an nwful scene of ruin as nerhnns never before met the eye of mnn become manifest. The gicnter part of the ruin was effected in the short space of Irorn three to five minutes, nllhough tho heavy sweeninc tornnun lasted nearly liallon Hour, For about fire minutes it was more like the explosive forcu of gunpowder thun anything else it could have been compared to. Hun dreds of rooms were bmst open ns sudden ns f barrels of gunpowder hud been ignited in each. As far as gl 'sJes or Hie naked eye can teach, the first traces ofthe tornado ore to be seen from the Natchez bluff down the river about ten miles, considerably west of south, Sweeping actoES the Natchez island it cross ed llic point below the plantation ol LmviU Barland, Esq. opposite the plantations of P. M. Lipice, Etq. in the Parish of Concordin. It then struck the Natchez bluff nbdtit a mil" and a half below Ihe city, near the man sion called the "Briers," which it but slight ly injuied, but swept the mansion late of Charles B. Greene, Esq. called the "Bel lerue," and the ancient forest in which i was embosomed, into n mass of ruins. It then struck the city through its vvhoh width of one mile and included the entire river and the villace of Vadalia on the Lou isiann shore making the path of ihe lorna do more than two miles in width. At the Natchez landing on the river the ruin of dwcllings.&torcs, steamboats, flat boats, was almost entire from the Vidalia ferry to the Mississippi Cotton Press. A few torn frag. merits of dwellings Hill remnin, but ihev can scarcely be called shelters. In the upper city, or Natchez on ljic hill, scarcely a houso eitmpcd damage or utter ruin.

Th Episcopal church is mtich injured in its roof Parke s great Southern Exchange ts leve with '.he dust Great damn go has has been done to the City Hotel and the Mansion House, both being unroofed, and the upper stories broken in. The house of sheritl 1 zod has not a Umber standing, nnd hundreds of other dwellings nre nearly in the same situation. The "Court House nt Vidalia, pa rish of Concordia, is utterly lorn down, also the dwelling house of Mr M'Whorter and of Messis. Dunlny nnd Stocey, Esqs. The pa rish jail is partly torn down. But now the worst remains to bo told. Parish Judge Keeton, of Concordia, was in stantly killed whilo at dinner at the house of Mr blacey. He was a noble nnd esteemed man. No other perron was killed in Vidal in. although some others were hurt. At the Natchez Landing, out of fifty or sixty flat boats only six nre now afloat. Those best acquainted suppose as many bs one hundred flat boot men were drowned in the river, "which swelled instantly to the height of six oreigm teet. 1 ho steamboats Hinds, Prairie nnd the St Lawrence were destroyed nnd sunk ni the Landing, and the Vidalia ferry boat on the river more or less persons being lost in uie two nrst named boats.

Thus early in the discussion, I can assure you that tho Bill will bo resisted lo the last. The Whig members nre determined to op pose tho Bill In every form and feature, and this ;hev do under instructions from their constituents. That the Adminstration mem bers may have no excuse for opposing this determination in reference to tho neglected action on the Bills for the support of the Ar mv and Nnvv. ihev twice and thrice und earnestly entreated the members to take up tne nppropriouon oiiis oeiorc-iuu utuun up op thu Sub-Treasury Bill.

Should Immediate legislation become or be consider ed necessary unon either ol the two more important Bills now io Committee of the Whole. 1 huve deemed it expeuient to say thus much to prepare you for a long, exci ting and able debuto upon the Sub-Treasury bill. Regarding the measure ns obnoxious upon every principle of patriotism nnd jus tice, believing that it is designed to build up the Executive and to pull down the people, convinced that tho country cannot prosper under the continued operation ofthe luw, un willing to give the President the keys of the Treasury, and disbelieving the doctrine that men nre honest just in proportion ns they are led into temptation, for nil these and many reasons ns important, the whig mem hers will unite in an uncompromising opuosi liontothc bill.

The cry is, that "ptices are too high," that "paper money must be abolished." that the "limited amount of gold nnd silver in the country is sufficient to do the business of the country," that "we must manufacture a piece of goods here as cheap as a piece of goods can he manufactured in Germany, or r ranee, oi nny ol Ihe hard money govern ments of Europe."

It appeal's from lie evidence presen ted by tho committee, that two offers have been mode to execute tho public printing: onont tho rate of twenty-five per cent, less than the prices fixed by the ioint resol'u- tioli of March 3d, 1810 ;and tlie other at the rate oi twenty per cent, less than those prices, A resolution was offered bv the minority nf mo ohliui uunimitieo reciting tnese lads, declaring that the House does not deein it expedient to pay lio Pripters rt higher rate of compensation than (ho prices nt which other persons competent to do tho work, are wining to periorm it 5 and proposing to fix tho prices accordingly, T.his wan voted down by thu parliztins of the Executive; and a proposition of tho mojorily of the Com mittee to rrinke a reduction of only fifteen per ciint. whs adopted. 'Even ,this moderate, radnction, -sail )eny ing the prices ext'raytgantly high',, the' Ai- ministration managers hnve conceded with Ihe utmost reluctance. Tho proceedings of th6. Committee show that no original piopo sitfon or plun for ihe reduction of the prices was submitted nt first by the Chuirman, (Mr, Black of Georgia upon whom the Globo basso frequently lavished smiles and enco miums.) That gentleman was drawn into a sanction of the reduction of fifteen per cent as the lower of the two propositions for that object, when he found that all the other mrm hers ofthe Committee were in favor of reduc tion to a greater or less degree. It Is thus that the Nnlionsl Treasury is plundered for the support of the Adminiiirs lion press. Not snlisfied with ordering, day after day, nn unprecedented and enormous number of extra copies oalmosl every doc ument, however useless, to le printed squandering the public money on thirty thousand copies of Sail Documents, which nobody will ever read or care about thir ty thousand reports of the committee for the destruction of State Credit thirty thousand dialogues between the Secretary of the Treasury and Mr. Benlori, designed to prove that thirteen millions of dollars are less than thirty-nine rrtillons, nnd so on to the end of the chn'pter ; not content with this con tinual extravagance, they must give ihe Ex ecutive Printer ten rr.n cent, over and above what would bea most liberal compen sation, even ifthere was economy in trie a mount of printing ordered, instead of tljo wildest extravagance and prodigality. The honest hard-working people of this county will look upon this extra-allowance of ten cent in no other light then ns an etictionett' ing fund, taken from the public purse, with the view of sustaining the Presidents of ficial organ in the great contest which is now going on between the office-holdeis and the people. Tho order has gone forth from head quarters that the Globe must be strengthened, its contributors increased nnd its circulation extended far and wide.
