In tin* piivute walks of life 1 know him to be a man of w born even bis enemies can say no barm. As a moral man, i know his character to be unblemished. I know him to be a member of regular standing in thn L ptscopul Church in Cincinnati, and have repeated ly heard the clergymen of that Church speak in the highest lei ins of respect of the character of Gene ral Harrison. As a cititen and neighbor, I know him to be universally beloved and esteemed. He is hospitable am) generous, even to a fault, and bis benevolence is proverbial wherever be is known.— As a man of talents, he possesses more of the cool, discriminating judgment, the honesty of purpose, the determined perseverance in the conscientious discharge of every duty, and more of tho highmind ed, noble trails of the old Washington school ol men, than any other matt 1 have ever seen. As a writer, in every sense of the word, ho stands amongst the fir st in our country. As h public man, 1 need not speak of him ; for every on® know* bis character in that respect as well as 1 do* The his tory of his country has settled that matter beyond controversy, anil nothing that his enemies can say, can tarnish his hard-earuad reputation. And now, having given whutl know and believe to be his character, let roe say, that I believe him lobe just the man whom vre need at the head of our govern ment, in the present deranged state ©four countty, and i hope and trust that in Novemer next lie will be called, like old Cinrinnatu* from bis plough, to the Presidency of the United States." I ho above is the substance of what Dr. Beecher gavo a* hi* opinion* of General Hairiion, anrl h* near as i can recollect, 1 have endeavored to give his own words. 1 leave the subject without note oi comment.

Death or the oldest Methodist Preaches in THE World.— Died el Ktugttcvod Hill, in the Kings wood Circuit, the Kev James Wood, We* leyan minister, in tho eighly-ninth year of his age, He entered upon the itinerary in 1773; and was, ar the lime of his death, the oldest Methodist ptea rher in the world. Having travelled fifty thra yean, fourteen years ago, (reckoning from next Conference,) he became a supernumerary. Hr continued to preach as long us bis strength would allow, and only desisted w hen the infirmities of ad vanced age had entirely disabled him. “Had I strength," he once said to tho writer of this notice, " I could preach thirty times a week. It is a blessed work.” He had been confined to bis room from about the r»me of the Centenary Meeting at Bristol. So gieat was his desire to bo present on the occa sion. that he begged his friends to endeavor to car ry him down stairs for the purpose of ascertaining whether it w ould he piaettcubie to lake him to the meeting. Hu was brought down stairs only to be taken up again with grunt difficulty, and be never descended again. In all the affairs of Methodism, he continued to take tho liveliest interest. The ex tensions of the missions, Mr. Newton’s visit across the Atlantic, and the approaching Conference, were topics of cheerful conversation with him during the last few days ofhis lif*». V ksisom !

Is there ■ patriot in the land whose bosom does not swell with pride and exultation at the brilliant prosperity now dawning on this desecrated country?

And who among you will not, on that uiispkoua day, Join the joyoua song, and with an honest pride and patriotic exul te»ion mingle your voice with the shouts of millions, and exclaim, “ 1. too, fought at the battle of Wa. terloo I" To all such who hare up to tbit period stood by as idle spectators of the fierce conflict now Iwing waged between the people and tha office-hold er*, let u* say, “ Delay no longer.

From the Pennsylvania Inquirer. PENNSYLVANIA. A Few I Fords to our Friendo in otkor Statu. Our political friends in other cities and States, should not forget that the General or State election will take place in PxNKSrLVARlA, on the 13th *f October, while the Presidential Election will not lake place until the 30th of October, or more than two Weeks after. They should also be informed that the friends of Harrison expect to do w»»wh better at the Prrsideniia! than at the legislative election. Local questions, moreover, may, in ma ny instances, influence the results of the prelimina ry elections. Thus at the last Presidential struggle a similar state of things existed, and, although the Whigs were sadly defeatvd on their legielative tick et*, they rallied at tha Presidential struggle, and, despite the depression and discouraging prospect, gave the “ Hero of the Thames” a vote sufficiently large to render it uncertain, for some lime, wheth er or not he had canted the State. The Van Bu ren majority on that occktiun was little more than 4,000. Then too, the Whig party of the Stele wee divided, Now, the Opposition are thoroughly uni ted. The cause of " Old Tip” is brighter than it ever was before. We again say, therefore, that however well we m»y do in Pennsylvania, at the I election on the 13th of October, we shall do inh ) nitrly better on the 30lh, when the Old Hero will • be in the field himself.
