General Harrison Is trchtcd We give the following
extracts.
Mr. Minister Moore's letter IS ushered into the
Argus with nearly half column of editorial slang.
The following is a part Of it:
'Nollug lie mole shameless te pfogacy to which

The Nashville Republican, With more decency of
manner and with less oV<sse OF accusation, speaks
thus:

None but personal enemies Of General Harrison
can be found, who will assent 20 the justice of the
character here given f'him.
These extracts arc published as specimens of Che
treatment nov bestowed upon Gen. Harrison. They
might be greatly multiplied but il l. unnecessary
