and 10 pretend 10 feel any apprehensions
on the score Of slave properly from man
Of Gen Hsrrison's opinions. We wish
not 10 be- misunderstood. We are among
those who believe that slavery. as il ex-
lists In The southern states, is blessing
rather than u curse. We know that this
opInunn differs from that Of many at the
south. and when Gen. Harrison said he
wished 10 see the day when the sun
would not shine on an American slave.
he expressed the wish Of many who are
ullerly opposed 10 the fanatics. Bot that

The eharg" Of being an alien and sedi-
lion Law F,deralst is brought against
Gen. Harrison. and upon the authority
of a speech Of Mr.. John Randolph. The
following reply ."f Gen. Harrison At the
time. puts that charge to rest:

he helnnas offence Of assoeiallng with
fe'ierai gentlemen. He plead guilty

acknowledgment OF such guilt TO throw

On The other hand. he was on intimate
terms with Mr.. Gallalin. and with the
whole Tirginia delegation. among whom
ne had near kinsmen and dear friends.
They were his principal associates in
Phlladrlphia in whose mess be had often
met the gentleman who was now has
accuser. and with whom he had spent
some nf the hsppiesl hours Of his life.

we admit is true. For thsireason among

But il is uncomfortable how those who
