GEN'L. IIARRISON'S OPINIONS.

The Van Buren, party profess the most ex
cruciatng anxiety to learn the opinions OF
Gen'l, HARRISON, and affect the most unequiv.
ocal Indignation because he does not reply to
the insiduous interrogatories of every locofoco
committee, and write out his political creed for
the satisfaction of every petty junto of politi-
clans that posters him with mportunate queries
Now we would ask these highly scrupulous 10.
colocos, whether they are really ignorant of
Gen'l. Harrison's sentiments? On what ques-
ton is it, that he stands uncommittedl Name
the subject on which information is needed, and
it shall be furnished. abolition, the Tariff, a
National Bank, the Sub-Treasury, the Veto
power,-in short every question whether OF
constitutional power, or mere expediency, has
been publicly and amply eucidated by him.
He has been far more open, explicit and deci-
led in the expression Of his opinions than Mr..
Van Buren,, for the "keep dark policy" has ev-
er been special lavorte ofthe Executive, and
more particularly ollate years.
On all the following matters, says the Gins

measures which would "eradicate those feel

citizens ofall the states, which was produced
by community Of interestsI and dangers IN the
war of the revolution, which was the iounda'
ton of our happy union, and by continuance
of which, ii can alone be PRESCRIBED. In this adj
dress he contended that the people oIthe non
saveholdng states we're not warranted by the
constitution in holding meetings and publish
ing speeches against the domestic institutions
of the South.
In 1895,
Gen. HARRISON in letter TO Mr.. Thos. SIoo,
jr. Of this city, said

slavery in the states, or in any manner interfere

but on the application of the states, in which
case, and in no other, they might appropriate
money 10 aid the states, so applying TO get rid
of their slaves The opinion given above are
precisely those which were entertained by Mr.
JEFFERSON and Mr.. MADISON.
81 do not believe that congress can abolish
slavery in the District ofColumbia, without the
consent of Virginia and Maryland and the peo-
pie of thHdistrct."
From the foregoing facts drawn from his
tory, and inconvertabIy established, we leave
the people to draw their own conclusions.

GEN. HARRISON IN CONGRESS.

We have several times referred to the course
Of Gen. HARRISON in Congress-the evidence
OF his patriotic and jealous labors in that BODY
being found in the records OF Congressional pro-
ceedings, as they stand registered in the files
of the National Intelligencer. 1t will be seen,
if any one will examine his conduct on any
question, in which he took part during his SER
vice in Congress, that the same ardent love of
country, the same high sense of national honor,
the same disnterested spirit which animated
him as soldier in the field, beat also warmly
in his bosom, when, standing in the legislative
councils, he advocated the cause Of the suffer.
ing and neglected patriot, or enforced the
claims of justice on all occasions. We take
great pleasure in referring to these memorial Is
ofhonorable service. The bravery and military
skill Of Gen. HARRISON, illustrated by glorious
actions in the sight of the whole nation, stand
in need ofno emblazonment-they are identi.
fled with the fame and history ofthe Republic,
and glow with steady lustre amid the halo
that encircles the names Of Tippecanoe, Fort
Meigs, and the battlefield of the Thames -
We leave these to speak for themselves. But
his speeches in Congress. so full of genuine
AMERICAN sentiment and leeling-hs course as
a national legislator so manly, so open so close
ly adhering to principle and high-minded in
tegrity on all occasions-these, which are
likely to be lost sight of in the obscurity of
musty files and halfforgotten records-these,
we are glad to call up, and to claim for them
the admiration SO justly due on the part of his
countrymen. Let all read them Let friends
recur to them with pride, and derive therefrom
fresh zeal in behalf of the venerable servant
Of his country; let opponents examine them
that they may learn what sort of a man it is
whom they are deserving. The life and char
lcter ofGen. HARRISON, as illustrated by his
actions in the field, and by his services as a
,ivilian, are constructed out Of a solid mass of
acts, constituting buwark and bait lement
which cannot be shaken or injured.
We give below an extract from speech de-
yered by Gen. Harrison in the Senate of the
United States, when he was Chairman Of the
iilitary Committee 10 that body in 1925. The
sbate was upon Bill to prevent deserilon

which led me, sixteen years ago, as member
OF the Ohio Senate, to entertain favorable
opinion OF an alteration which was proposed in
the criminal police Of the State. It is certain
that neither in respect to myself, or those who

The immense tide of foreigners which is yearly and
