The Alexandria Gazette is rather unfortunate in the
reason It gives, when it believes it is fact that the
vote OF 3 Carolina is quite certain for General Harrison
That State hesates in The support of Judge Wh;le tc

nor the Government Of the United States, can, without
the usurpaton f power and the violation of solemn
compact! do any thing to remove it without the consent
of those Nio are Immediately interested"
But we have the full scope Of the Generals plan in
his Speech in :3. To the Citizens of Oho-were he
phatically says: Shnud he asked if there is way
by which the General Government can aid the Of
