THE TWO-FACED CANDIDATE.

"au expressed opinions, for and against mos
Vi AT questions that distract the parties of the
county, and because he might be quoted in different
'ee'on' OF the Union, on different sides of the SAINT
suoJect. He is a cit emblem of the party by which he
Is supported. Composed OF the fractions. of ali partie.
anu bound together by no common principle, save a
uesire Tor office, the c~ertiicate hero, is a personal cm-
ooainient OF the principles, Of the wing party. 1t
was consciousness of this that caused the copyen-
tion to make no declaration of the principles, BY
which his administration would be governed. 1t was
a knowledge Of this fact, that caused the confiden-
tial committee not to depart from the policy, pursued
by the convention, aud that induced the paper hero,
TO say that he would answer ''no questions coming
from friends or foes" That VIC 90 no Injustice 10
the poor mans candidate, we refer to the following
facts.
1nlS2a, he sail that he believed the bank OF tie
United States was unconstitutional, cit being not one
oi those measures, necessary TO carry any OF the ex-
pressly granted powers into effect" IA the South
where a large portion OF the wing party, believe n
Bank to be unconstitutional this is adiucei as con-
elusive evidence of his soun4uess, on this subject,
Mr.. Rives in his address to the people of Va. last
Spring, argued al length, and with great riau'ibiilty'
to convince his conservative friends that he ~Uuld
not give his sanction to a National Bank. The al
dress of the wing GENITAL committee of Va. took the
same ground. In contrasting him with Mr.. Van Bu-
rem, on the different questions which have been con-
sidered tie tests Of rePubiicanisIa in that State, they
make use Of this strong language:
We answer, that upon the Tariff * Internal I'm

" we know or believe fellow citizens, Gen. Harrison
has bat one opinion about Ne Baat and that IS
"Gsaif;t il, and We feel that we hazard nothing in
Saying taat he would not consider any Bank con

Such are thc view. which hi, fieri., OF Va. cntcr-

l. it not the burden Of the song Of every federal ora
tor and newspaper throughout the State that we
must elect Gen. Harrison, because he will give MS n

make z defamation q: his sentiments for ihr public
eye.
Heretofore the oppcsition have had candidates in
each OF the divisions Of the Union, who were SUP
ported, in each section, bccau.e Of there opinion.,
agreeing with the sentiments Of the people in each
particular PORTION OF the country. In 1870 Web
stcr " a. run AZ the North, Harrison in The North west,
and White in tie Sauth. Each cutertaincd atthat
time, view. suited 90 hi. particular lection. Now
instead Of three. they have one candidate with Il sort
of political ubiquity, with opinions on all the great
questions, of the day. adapted to every meridian aud
every latitude.
The following lettcr.from the Hon. George
McDuifie. bat a few years since, Landed by
tie Wings will command attention. We
have seen no.hing for Il length Of time that
brings together 50 f~orci0ly, the true merits
Of the present political contest. 1t is en-
phaiically multum in pzrro. What hesays Of
the South is true, also % Missouri. We have
a community of interest and feeling on mos;
of the subjects that distract the country.
and we entertain not the least doubt but
Missouri and the Southern states, will be
found standing side by side, in the support
of the present chi lei magistrate at the coming
election. Missouri nor the South can ever
cast their votes for the two-faced, double
dealing, and non-commital, hard cider can
didalc. The letter is in reply to an invita-,

ID MiIledgerille. Though | am constrained by cir.
cumstances to decline your invitation, | concur fully

sumcd Of refusing to disclose his opinions TO the peo.
pie, on subjects Of vital importance TO their welfare,
while asking their snfragcs for the highest Office in
their gift, aud the disgusting mummeTy Of log cabin
and beer barrels, which would disgrace the orgies of
the lowest demagogue, by which HI. nomination has
