We cut tho above extract from among
twenty reasons why Gen. Harrison can
not be elected President of the United
States" The writer charges Gen. Har-
rison with immonIity-but does not state
where the proof can be found and never
having heard in our life of the least charge
Before against Gen. IIarrison's private
character We put il down for what it is
worth, among the lies manufactured for
party effect. But even admitting for ar
gument sake ihat it is true we would ask if
Gen. .ackson's moral character was clear
of stain. Was not his life stained with
some Of the mos, heinous crimes thatcan
be brought against a man--d gambler, a
dpeiist, and destroyer Of he domestic
peace Of family, with all these
stains up'n his character, he was elected
to ill the very seat that the writer states
should be filled by man, the lustre of
whose reputation the breath Of calumny
should not be able to dim. Yet the very
party that sustained Gen. Jackson now turn
up their eyes with "AOiy horror" at the
prospect Of the election Of Gen. Harrison
although he may have been guilty ofimmo-
rality during his liie--hc that is innocent
let him cast the first stone. To talk of
degrading the Presidential chair after the
election Of Gen. jackson and Martin Van
