GEN. HARRISON UNDER THE
CONTROL OF NEW GUARDIANS
If a man ts incapable Of taking care
of himself, how 10 il possible, or reasons
able, that he should be capable Of ta-
king care Ofhis family. Then If Gen.
Harrison is incapable of taking care of
himself now, how IN the name lof heav-
en- is he totake care Of the Old Ship
U. States, should he be placed a, he,
helm? That he is incapable of taking
care ofbimself, we presume no one will
deny. for it is admitted BY the whole
party, that heis in charge ofa commit

travelling guardians also, as will be
seen by The following statement made
by a Gentleman, who was passenger in
the same boat with Harrison, and whose
name is in our possession, for the "pub-
lie eye" if necessary.
"On the passage of the Canal Packet, Swan,
from Cleveland, South, with Gen. Harrison and
suite, letters were frequently handed to Gen.
HARRISON, by persons coming on board-but
near Bolivar, the General held one in his hand

The above may appear trivial al first
sight, but when it is recollected that in
proportion TO the mystery that hangs
round a man, just go much more is the
public curiosity whetied to find out what
he really is. In such cases, look, a
word, an action, will betray him, how
ever adroilly he may attempt coDceal>
ment. just so with Harrison. Ever
since his nomination, a curtain has been
hung between him aud the people, while
devils Rave been plotting behind il for
his elevation. The people are becom-

the yells Of Log CABINS and hard cider.
When the nominee strs from home, the
people who claim this priyilege-aek
