81 have Just heard, the most unquestIonable au-
,hority that Mr. Rivcs, III his late visit to TINS part Of
vroinia. made the following remark TO of the
State Rights party He lMr Rives) asked, if he could
convince the gentleman to whom he speaking, that
Gen Harrison had rei"unced its opinions oil the FRO
ca,naton, contained i'll his Chevot Speech, whether he
would 90 for Harrison: The State Rights man re-
pIied that II Mr. Rives could convince hun OF this, it
would soften his feelings good deal but that he could
not say he would support him. Mr.. Rves then SAID,
that he had letter in his possession, written to ni
by General Harrison, III which Gen HARRISON SAID,
that he regretted his approval Of the Proclamation more
than any other act of his life; and gave reason for
supporting the Proclamation his anxiety for the safety
of the Union at the time. Here we have more proof
of the utter recklessness with Which Gen. Harrison
avOws sail thingsto all men lie writes letters TO Inc
South disavowing his Abolition, and others TO the North
in which lie avows himself friendly to Abolition We
have him now disavowng his endorsement OF the Proc
lanation and have little doubt he has written private
letters the North re-airming those opinions Al any
rate he has, during the summers written letters, saying
that he would not consider himself an honest man, II
he permitted his friends quote from speeches and let
,ers formerly made and written by him, unless he stu
entertained those opinions In his letter 10 hives he
says he has changed those opinions as to the froca-
nation Was there ever any man placed IN SO con-
temptible light
at was bold effort the part of Rives TO turn the
few State Rights men in this part Of Virginia. Mr..
Rves ought TO have recoected, that change OF OPT
Mon the part Of Cen Harrison IN relation TO these
measures ought induce the Stale Rights men to go
for HARRISON ought, the other hand TO induce HIM
10 abandon him; for it will puzzle Mr.. Rlres to shew
any other question which Gen Harrison and hun
self ever conceded in opinions except IN their aPproba
