GEN. HARRISON DENOUNCED BY THE
ABOLrFIONISTS
In making the following extract from the
Emancipator, the great Abolition organ, We
take occasion TO remark, that the Tory pa
pers have made much ado about the man
ner in which the nomination of the Harris
burg Convention was received by the Abo-
litionists, pretending that they were delight
ed with il, &c. Now the truth IS, that not
one word. 50 far as we have seen, has been
uttered by that party IN appreciation of the
nomination, though they have reloiced ex-
ceedinely that Mir. Clay was not nominal
ted. Qualification al the defeat of Mr..
Clay, who had 50 recently, in the language
Of Mr.. Calhoun, put down abolition, was
natural to abolitloui~ts. They were en-.
Uttered against hun, and therefore they
reloiced. But thcN did not say Que word
in appreciation OF Harrison. They knew
that he, too was against them. And they
now give uterance 10 their feelings to-
wards HMM the following article, denounc-
ing Harrison a. even more odious TO them
than Van Barren;
From NE Emancipation
. General Harrison. Many have sup
posed that it might be cxpedlcnt for the
Executive Committee 10 mtcrrogate Gen
ela Harrison, now that he is the rcco4li--
cd candidate for the Presidency, witlso
prospect Of election, 10 learn bis views with
respect TO the abolition Of slavery. But
where is the use II is true, We rejoice
in the rejection OF Heavy Clay because he
i stakeholder and defender Of slavery.
Gen. Harrison, We know, is not slave
holder neither IS Mr.. Van Buren,. WHY
Because his principles are known to X ia
favor of the ascoudanc 81 the SLAVE POW
ER. But are those o. General Harrison
any less 50 lie IS the man Of his party
ana that party have shown the ab-olulencs>
Of their suh-er,lency, ~ nominating a
STAKEHOLDER, peculiarly bigo,ed dosoteo
of slavery, on the same ticket with Gen.
Harrison, and non by eecting nul,ilying
slave holder, from luyc-brcldlng Virginia
Tor Speaker.
But We submit, further, that Gen. tIar-
rison's priacip'ta are already well known
by his deeds, Of which We find the follow
lne summary ~ the Rochester Freeman !:
In December l-02 while Governor Of
Indiana Territory, he was president Of a
convention u the people that Territory,
held at Nmceuuo-, and transmitted 10 Con.
cross a memorial Of the Convention, pray.
IN that lhe sixth article Il TIE Ordnance
Of -, which prohibited slavery there
might BE- snYeaded. (See American state
Papers. lso3) His efforts 10 make lndi.
ana slave State were prosecuted for years
while be was Governor Of that TcrrlioN.
