the Memphis Enquirer. A more Just trib;
ute never was accorded 10 any man. The
subject of ii Teen, H is worthy the highest
need Of praise. We hope the time is not far
distant, and we believe it is mol, when The
base and cowardly attacks which have been
beaped upon him will cease but should this
not prove The case. we have no fears as ID
the result Harrison will pass through The
ordeal unhatmed. Let his oppopehts vent
their malice and hatred upon him. let them
say what thryswill against him. they cannot
make American freemen believe he is such
a Coward such Granny as they repre-.
sent him TO be.
THE GoLb OF CHARACTER. The char
acter of General HARRISON, like gold, grows
brig liter the harder il is rubbed. The rnors
he becomes known, the better he is liked by
the People The harder be is rubbed by
the assaults bI his enemies, The Brighter he
shines. His proves TO be a character that
will stand the most rigid scuiiny. He
comes out OF the crucibe of examination;
when heated seveh fold hitter than ever, IN.
scathed by the 6ery ordeal. Every assault
upon him SO far has been iriumphantly re-
PEELED. Even many of his political enemies
have given, and still continue 10 give, theif
public admiration of the man, &acknowledge
his important services and greet WORTH
And we venture 10 say that no man ever re-
ceivcd such honorable testimony of worth
and excellence from his political enemies as
have been displayed towards General HAIRS
RIsoN. Honorable men, who, although
they differ with him in politics, nevertheless
break through party shackles, come for:
ward, and testify 10 his great services and
worth. When u man possesses character
10 draw forth such praise and testimonials OF
excellence from his political enemies, id
I times like these. partisan feelings cohsume
almost every thing Of an anIag onistcdl char.
acter, we say he must bea man truly.

ters into the price Of every piece Of cloth, or
other products OF The mandatory and work
shop, which we wear or use. Now, it is Of
some little consequence 10 the American
people whether we encourage our own cul-
