THE BLOODHoUNDS.

We intended to have exposed to-day the
equivocal course which the administration
have pursued on this subject, but have not
laid our hands upon the document we want.
The case in brief is this We first an
nounced here the arrival Of the Bloodhounds
in Florida. The Globe Immediately came
out with an official declaration, that the War
Department knew nothing about it except
through public rumor.
When the memorials were presented to
the Senate, demonstrating against the use of
the bloodhounds, both Mr.. Buchanan and Mr.
Benton, positively asserted that the memori-
alists demonstrated against what had no cxis-
tence in fact--that the government had not
authorized the employment Of bloodhounds,
and knew nothing about the matter official
ly, &c.
Now it appears that Mr.. Poinselt, the Se-
crciary of War, did authorize the employ
ment OF bloodhounds He has so admitted
in letter TO Mr.. Wise, a copy Of which,
was communicated to the Senate on Monday.
The official organ had announced before
the very eyes Of the Secretary that he did not
authorize the use Of the beasts, and yet the
Secretary permitted the statement to 60 un-
corrected.
Messrs. Benton and Buchanan declared
that Mr.. Poinsett did not sanction the use of
the brutes, and yet Mr.. Ponsett says he did I!

ties, we shall endeavor hereafter to expose it,

GENERAL HARRlSON-HIS ENEMIES AND
MR. JEFFERSON


We have seen much stress laid upon a de-
claration against General Harrison in he
South that he was in favor of applying, with
certain, limitations, the proceeds of the pub
lie lands to the emancipation and colonization
of the African race in the United States.
Whether this assertion be true or false, we do
not care now to inquire. With this declara-
ton the loco-focos endeavor to prejudice the
people of the South against General Harrison.
All we desire to say is, that those who would
injure. if possible, General Harrison on this
account, profess to be the disciples of Tho
mas Jefferson. Now, while they shout ho-
sannas to that great name in one breath, and
pour out curses upon General Harrison in the
next, we would beg to call their attention to a
letter of Thomas Jefierson's which we pub
lish to day, by which il appears that the great
apostle of Democracy was himself friend
and advocate of exactly the same scheme for
which they utterly condemn the honest farmer
of n orth Bend
