= Gen. Harrison has ever since been the con.
slstent advocate of Southern rights. Although, Oh
posed, III common with Jefferson, Marshall and
Madison, To Slavery in the abstract, and DESTROYS.
like thousands of Southrons to witness its estipc-
lion, he is not the less decidedly opposed than wo
are to the course pursued by that misclievouS Al
clifton faction, which, II ,it do not its birth TO
the Missouri question, received from that moment
an impetn, which has ever since been gathering
strength and power, and for the consequences of
which we do NOT hesitate say that the Missouri
kestrctonis,s are mainly responsible. When, u
short time since, the Abolonists commenced
their bold attacks upon the South, through the mt
dunn OF the press I'd organic societies, Gen
Harrison awaited hinlselfof the occasion offered
by public dinner given TO him in Indiana, a non
lat ehodliag State, and of course in the mids, of
Sc -Aboiionists, TO dcnounce their movements
In his speech, on that occasion, he declared that
the attempts of the Abolitonisis were weak,
pre>nmp,uouS and unconstitutional" and added
" Neither the States where it (Slaverv) does
not exist, nor the government Of United States
can, without an uSurpaon of power and yio-
iaton oil solemn compact, do any thing TO re-
move it without the consent of those Immediately
interested"
Need we add any thing farther than this 2 II.
IN the teeth OF this testimony of Gen. Harrison's
attachment to those institutions in the midst OF
winch he was born and reared for he is, as We
all know, |rgnan by birth and education.-f
we say, in the teeth of this testimony. not On.
~ OF his freedom from the least faint of Alb
ol'tonism, bur OF his jealous regard for the
rights OF the South, in defence of which ho
years ago voluntarily sacrificed himself, when
he could never have looked forward 10 the
day when the South would have an opportunity of
rcwarding him for his generous devotion TO her
cause, he is to be branded as an Abolitonist, acte
as well as words have 10 meaning, and chaos is
come AGAIN"
