Gen. Harrison is called by the Van

be said on the 25th of May, 1885, in a
speech TO the people OF Vinccnnes, Indi-
ana, in reference to what he called the
weak, injudicious, presumptuous and
unconstitationar' efforts Of the Aboli

Neither the States where Slavery

"the United States. can, pifhom usurpa
Zion of potoer. and the uiOiution OF a So

without the consent of those who are

Again, on another occasion, in a 4th

The discussion on the subject of e.
Emancipation in the non saveholding
states is equally injurious to the slaves
land their masters, aud has no sanction
Gin the principles of the constitution"
How Mr.. Van Buren, stands on this
question may be inferred from the facts
that he was one of the instructors of the
New York Senators and Representa-
tives 20 vote for the Restrictions on Mis-
souri, and that he himself voted for the
