Democrat or MOTTO which enquiry answer
that TT IS,-when made that Certificate, did
not intend to he drawn into an Eiectoneering
scrape, not being in tho habit Of taking A very
active part in the contest-But it seems that oir
papers on both sides ofthe question haveso lite
regard Tor truth, ,thatthe commnnity!generaly will
not believe tliem- have therefore been obliged
answer several similar requests In doing SO
do not wish to be considered as taking any part
between the General and Kemper (as to verac-
ityG the character Of the General is public prop
ty e. is generally known. Kemper is a respects
able man and Commissioner of the county, he

Daniel Stoody Esq.
The original letterI have. and can
show it to any person, whenever called
upon at my residence in New Cumber-
land, Tuscarswas County, Ohio. If
any further evidence shoud.be necessa-
ry to show that General Harrison is a
protane and vulgar old man, the follow
ing, which is copied from letter writ
len by Charles SIuts formerly Of this
place, but for soms time past resident
Of Cincinnati, to friend Of his in this
towu, and may serve by way Of some
further testimony TO show that the Gen.
eral is-nOt only profane but vulgar.
The Letter is dated CnciNatI, June
l4ih, 1910, and after writing upon pri>
vate matter, Mr. SIu,s says. ''l must
bere state circumstance that took place
in this city, concerning General Harri-
son. He was IN this city a few weaks
past, and was converting vita some OF
his party, asd on being asked bv dem
ocrat whether he had voted for law to
sell white man. He said he rad and
mould again. TITS Democrat theo re-
piled that he did not thiEk that such
principles we're in favor of equal rigb,s,
and Liberty, to- which General Haui-
son answered that the democrat was
d--drascal, aud that the whole Van-
ite party were all d--d Eascals, and
making use Of other language too vulgar
TO place upon paper"
Yours respectfully,
DANIEL STOODY. p. M.
GFIn addition 10 the above, we
might quote n any instances to show
that Gen. HARRISON is the most aban-
doued man in point Of principle and mo
rality, that has ever been put in nomin-
atiou for the Presidential chair; but the
evidence is already conclusive enough,
& without any further remarks we seri-
ously ask those of our whig friends who
are supporting him who profess to be-
imbued by christian priuciples-Wbo yet
pay some respect TO the laws of moral.
ity, how they can thus strike a blow at
the very supers,ructure which they have
so long been upholdlng-how it is pos
sible for them TO reconcile their feelings
so as 10 give counienance 10 him who
has been proved profane and vulgar
sweater, and breaker of the moral
laws Of God and man! We leave it be
tween them and their cOnsciences 10
settle.
To our fellow democrats we say,
charge home upon him-In addition 10
his ancient federalism, to his having sur
ported the Alien and Sedition Lave, tC
his having voted to-seI white men fol
debt, to bis being an abolitionist, charge
home upon him the crimes ofprofaniiy
vulgarity, indecobcy, adultery and Sc
duction-charge them upon the party
who support him, end then show then
the Discrepancy that exists between hin
and the friend Of equal rights-'he wbC
has never had his moral character i'm
peaehsd-he who has ever been the ar
dent friend snd advocate of the right
Of man-Marhu Van Buren,.
