An Ertinguishsr- From Kentucky
There being, within the bounds of our own
knowledge, several candid men who have no other
prominent objection to General Harrison than what
has grown out of the abandoned falsehoods re-
spectirg Abolition, we this day publish, to the ex-
clusion of almost every thing else the powerful and
annihiating address of the Kentucky Committee,
through whom Cit will be seen on the I'd ultmo,
General Harrison again endorsed his speeches, let
tiers and votes, on tina, agtating topic. The tune
is now changed The Globe, and its echos, which
have heretofore raised false Glamour against him
for concealing his opinions, now denounce him for
the indelcacy of reiterating them, when called
upon in a proper and respectful manner. Will not
every candid man be now satisfed-not only of the
purity, integrity and fairness Of this illusrious
soldier and statesman, but of the abandoned char
acter of the leading men by whom he is opposed.
And, being convinced of this, how many will con-
tinue to oppose him from the mere slavsh fear that
they too il they follow the honorable promptings OF
their Judgment and their conscience, may incur the
denunciations of sucr men as the Editor Of the
Globe, and those who are led or driven by him.
The eyes of the country are upon such, and their
conduct no,o will be remembered by their neighbors
hereafter That none may plead ignorance of the
unanswerable truths of tins address, we have
thrown off q sufficient number of extra copies to
place one in the hands of every family in the
county.
AN ADDRESS
Ofthe Central Wing Committee, for the Second
District, to the people Of Kentucky.
A few days since, an extra Advertiser, printed
at Louisville by, Shadrack Penn, jr. & Co., was
given to the public, containing a long article
signed by Levi Tyler, S. Penn, IT,, D. Mer
wether, T. J. Read, and F. Geger; styled, by
them, An address Of the Democratic Central
Committee, TO the People of Kentucky"
The object Of this Address is, obviously, to
withdraw the attention of the People from most
corrupt and proAigate Administration, by holding
up Mr.. Clay as the great adversary Of the Abo-
litionists, and the unrivalled advocate OF the
Southern interests, las if he needed the praise of
that committee) and by the most inscriptions
concealment of facts and perversion Of argu-
ment-hoping to prove, what all candid men,
who have given any attention to the subject, know
not to be true, "that Gen. Harrison is an Adolf
ZIONIST"
They do not even attempt to defeat the vile
system OF prescription FIR opinions sake; they
leave unanswered the charges of extravaganza
and defalcalion with the countenance of the gov
ernment so frequently made and SO fully proved
upon the administration Of Mr.. Van Buren, they
say nothing Of the abominable attempt to unite
the purseand the sword in the hands OF the Pres
ident, through the agency of the sub treasury;
not one word in extenualion is off red by this
Democratic Central Committee Of the dangerous
project of Mr. Van Buren's Secretary of War,
proposed at the commencement Of the present
session of Congress, and which he in his message
said he "could not TOO strongly recommend to
their attention'-to raise, arm and equip, to be
paid and differed by the General Government,
an army of 100000 men, in time of peace;
they forget to tell you that this scheme was con-
sidered SO ant-democratic, and so lraught with
danger to the liberties Of the People, that even
Thomas Richie, the leading political editor OF
their party in Virginia, refused to publish it,
although proposed by the Wings TO be paid for as
an advertisement; they especially forget to tell
you that the Democrats of 1898, put down the
elder Adams because (among other things) he
had recommended standing army OF 10000
men.
They forget to remind you Of these matters,
but they hesitate not to publish garbled extracts
from portion of Gen. Harris ms public letters
and speeches, and to suppress others altogether,
for the purpose of proving what they desire, but
what they know is incapable Of proof, to wit
that Gen. Harrison has always been and now is
an Aboltionst, and that Martin Van Buren, is
not.
We say that Gen. Harrison is not and never
was an Aboltionst that on this question he is
sound to the core. If we did ppt think so, we
would pity or despise him. We propose 10 cs-
tablish both these propositions:
In the first place, Gen. Harrison is the son of
stakeholder, was born and reared in slave
State, and there educated until he was 10 years
DID, when he joined Gen. Wayne's army, and
came to the West. TO suppose him to entertain
opinions and feelings, which, if carried out, would
lead to the deluging Of his native State with
blood, the desecraling of the tombs of his ances-
tors, and the destruction of this fair fabric of hu.
man liberty, in part the work of his illustrious
SIRE is to suppose him devoid of those attributes
which honor human nature, and to possess 9th.
ers which belong only to moral monsters in hu.
man shape. The idea is preposterous; and those
gentlemen of the Democratic Central Commit
Ice can scarcely believe it themselves. Bad men
can, without Just cause, believe bad things of their
fellows but as we are not ready to say they are
