A Good Rule III is a good criterion
generally to Judge man by what his neigh
bors think Of him. Let US apply this test
to Gen Harrison and Mr.. Van Buren,
Gen. Harrison has resided about half cen.
turv in and near Cincinnati and al the re-
cent election Cincinnati gave a majority of
nearly 1900 in his favor. Mr.. Van Buren,
has resided nearly all his life in Albany, or
its vicinity-Albany has given a majority
of nearly 500 against him. These facts
ought to have groa, weight with those who
know neither Of the men, except through
the preiudiced medium Of partIzan portraits.
