The Hillsborough recorder. [volume] (Hillsborough, N.C.) 1820-1879, 1838-09-20

.AtOriginss ofthe Ohio Taisy.-Gen.
Harrison, whose talents as a statesman
and general are conceded to be of the
first order, has long been known 10 ros-
sess literary atlainments of no ordinary
character. Few men excel him in elias.
steal literature. and he has ready fund
of knowledge, derived from ancient as
well as modern authors.
We are led TO these remarks from hav-
ing read with great satisfaction recent
discourse from his pen. on the Aborigines
Of the valley Of the Ohio, delivered be.
fore the Historical Society of Ohio, and
published a, their request.
I'm this, the opinion entertained by Co
vernon Golden, DR.. Franklin, Governor
Clinton, and others, that the valley Of the
Ohio was conquered BY the Six Nations,
is ably and satisfactorily contested.
American Antiquities are becoming a
matter of national interest, and our most
learned men are seeking to investigate
them. This discourse of Gen. Harrison
presents us with facts that are certainly
very novel as well as interesting. and his
deductions from them are sound. The
description Of the ruins on the Miami, and
the character and causes Of the growth Of
the forest trees found in them, is exceed
ingly well written, and is Of high cast
of thought. The whole discourse disco.
vers great ability, and few men in out
nation could have handled the subject
with greater skill. 1t will, unquestiona.
bly,, make a sensation in Europe among
the learned there. and will become stan.
dard work in our own country. Ameri.
ca may we'll be proud Of her sons, when
in the cabinet, the field, and the closet
she finds them devoted to her honor
and interest. We recommend the dis.
course 10 our readers, hoping they may
be fortunate enough to obtain copy fol
perusal. Albany Daily adu.

Mr. Clay and the .7bOtitionisfs.-The
AboliIionisIs OF New York are taking the
field agains. Mr.. Clay. and in favor OF
Mr.. Pan Buren,. Every possible effort
is made BY them to delea, the Wing can
didstes. on account Of their advocacy Of
Mr.. Clay. They know Mr.. Van Buren,;
he is one Of ihem'-iden,i6ed with
them by past association, and insidious.
ly fsvoring their present designs. Mr..
clay's remarks upon the slavery ques-
ton are published and republished in
flaming capiGols. with MIR. Van Buren's
by the side Of them, and the Abolition
lists exhurled To "chose between them"
The correspondent, Of the National Intel
ligencer writes:
Nothing is more amusing. in this
great centre Of newspapers, than TO read
the Administration papers Of Alabama
and Mississippi, which prOue him (Mr.
CIay) 10 be an Aboli,ionist, and the Ad-
ministralion papers Of Massachusetts.
Vermont, and the New York interior,
which prore him to be :" STAKEHOLDER"
"pro-slavery," &c. Mr.. Van Buren's
friends are certainly magioians. If he is
not, for they have gres, success in con.
juring up, not only the Mormons and In.
tidels 10 their aid. but the two wings Of
extreme opinions on the subject Of slave

are to be run in the interior Of this Stale

oli,ionists on the strength Of The Admin
isirsiion."
Will no, The people of the South re-
member this! Will they not put to si-
lencc the hireling slanderers who endeav-
or to make them believe that Mr.. Clay
is inimicsl TO Southern interests! ~ lf
our slsSeholLing people wish to avoid a
political connexion with the Abolition
lists. they must cast ihier votes against

serves The confidence and supper. Of all

who never expended more than the latter
sum in any year, were justly chargeable
