We proceed, according to promise. to lay before
cur readers some more OF MIR. liarker's former
sayings respecting Gen. Jackson and the friends
Of the General. Compared with the language which
Mr. Harker now uses when speaking Of the General,
it exhibits an instance Of the most glaring incon-
ssency, and will enable the public to judge cor
cctlv of the motives which influence MIR Harker.
and to place right estimate on his professions
Of attachment to the cause which he has espoused.
In an editorial article published in the Della

Mr.. Harker next makes an attempt, successful
