ONE OF THE HARRISON ELECTORS IN
THE FTFJ ID

By the Lexington Express, we learn, that Col
OWENS one of the Wing Presidential Electors has
taken the field for Harrison and Tyler. He battles
our political opponents successfully, says the Ex-
press. and gains ground at every onset. lie ad-
dressed the citizens of Jackson county, at three
different times, and, as we are informed, with
great success; several changes in our favor being
the result Of his efforts. last Monday Col. o. was
to harrangue the people of Van Buren, county, at
Harrlsonville and will be in Platte county day
after tomorrow, where he will remain few days,
and we hope leave traces of his influence, BY con-
vincing many Of the error of their way. About the
lst Of September Col. o. will visit the lower coun-
ties, and we sincerely wish that the other three
electors may take the regeneration Of the State also
to heart doubt they have, and prepare for the
November contest, Missouri is not past all re-
demption, although our opponents would fam have
Us believe SO, but with united action on the part
Of the friends Of reform, and liberty Of thought and
speech, it can be wrenched from the hands of the
spuilsnen, and again restored to its sovereignty
On, freemen, on ! and let liberty and our cOuR-
try be our motto forever.
Our correspondent says, "the good cause is pros
pering in Jackson. ! have no doubt but our dis
trict will elect ant-caucus Senator, and our coun-
ty will elect one Hhig and one locofuco, and beat
all their nominees"

"My vote against tie restrictions Of Missouri

one there would lave been time enough had con-
tiuued 10 be member, before the question was de-
cGed, for 10y constituents TO have instructed me-
and ! should have rejoiced in en- opportunity Of
sacrificing my seat Ia my principles, if they had
instructed me IN opposition to the construction Of
the constitution. Like many other members from
the non sayeholding States, oc whom mention
Shaw, llulmeS, NJ lson Of Massachusetts, Ianman
Of Connecticut, and Baldwin Of Pennsylvania,
could see nothing i'll the constitution which had
sworn TO support, to warrant such an interference
with the rights of the States, and which had never
before been attempted. And where is the crime in
set of men not being able To interpret the con-
stituiUn as other men interpret it As we had all
SCOr1l TO support it, the crime would have been in
giving it construction which our consciences
would not sanction. And let me ask for what good
is this question again brought up! 1t has been
settled, as all our family differences have been set
lied; on the firm basis Of mutual compromise.
And patriotism as well as prudence, devoted 10 the
elects of that awful discussion to eternal oblivion
Is it not known that from that cause the great
fabric Of our Union was shaken to its foundation
Is il not known that Missouri would not have sub.
mtted 10 the restriction, and that the other slave
holding. States had determined to support her 4!

at this moment we might look upon the opposite

THE DIFFERENCE.

Col. Johnson declared during the Presidency of
Mr.. Albums "Lhat if his administration was as
pure the angels in heaven, il must be put down !"
II was an impious declaration.
The DeStructives now declare, and their conduct
proves their sincerity "That Mr. Van Buren's ad-
minlstraton must be sustained, if it were as cor
rupt as the inps of the nethermost regions of
satan !"
But the people have resolved to veto their efforts,
and will demonstrate to the country, after due
investigation, that no government under the sun
ever wallowed in such mass of corruption as that
of Van Buren,. They will, however, Gepute Gen.
Harrison as their agent to cleanse the Augeau Sta
Dle. He is the very Hercules to do it.-Piok

Of what consccnGously believed to be an able,
just, ard an equal Administration. My opinions
on that subject, however, have become entirely
changed, not by the slang and defamation Of
electioneerng aud deluded demasogues, or the
perversion OF hirel ng presses, but from mature
and deliberate reflection based upon evidence
and facts of which have no doubt. therefore
trust that may no longer be considered mem.
