GEN. HARRISON

We have, at length, found room for the pro.
cecdings of the meeting of the friends of Gen
Harrison, recently held in Augusta county, in IN,
State: and, in specially inviting the attentions
our readers To them, We need only say that they
will find in them bold and decided expression Of
the Generals sentiments in relation to The orca,
and all-absorbing topic of the dav, especial, IN
the South. We ne cd not say that the ororml
taken by Gen. Harrison on this subject entities hin.

circumstances permitting, to their votes also lor

have reference only to the single fact that the Anti
Van Buren, vote must not be divided between him
and any other candidate or, in other words. fl,
be determined upon to support Judge White. Gen
Harrison must be dropped by his friends, as Judoe
White mns be, should Gen. Harrison be dcemod
thu preferable candidate, when the period for de-
cision and action shall have arrived. And vc m.
nouncc, with great pleasure, that Gen. Harrison
will not cndanger the success of the Who canse
by dividing the party. The last Cincinnati " hin
says" On this subject Cen Harrison himself
talks sensibly and like true patriot We have
his authority for saying that if it can be clearly as
certained that Mr. Webster or any other Wbig ran.
didac is stronger than himself, he will not stand
one moment IN the way, and that he would in
such an event, cheeriully act as Wing clector."
This IS just such conduct as we should cxpcc from
VIM. II. iianison-a man, who ifhc had possessed
little less of that modesty which is ever the com
panion OF exalted merit, and more of that in,pu-
dence winch Is the usual offspring of mediocriv,
might long since have occupied as high rank in
the government as he now dcscrvcdly fills in the

cured from inundntion the soil Of a part
