From the Richmond Wing.
PLAIN FACTS FOR PLAIN MEN.

General Harrison, pending the Missouri question,
the greatest question 20 the South which ever agi-
tated the National councils, voted throughout with
the South. He was Of only three Of the Repre-
sentstiyes from the non-slaveholding States. who
admitted and maintained our Constitutional rights.
For his noble and nagnanmous course that oc-
cason, he defeated at the next election.
MIR. Van Buren, that time opposed to the
South and in the Senate Of New York, voted to in-
struct The New York Senators 10 oppose the adms-
sion OF Missouri unless slavery was abolished.
General Harrison ysted for the admission of
slaves into Arkansas.
MIR. Van Buren, voted to restrict tho admission of
slaves into Florida.
General Harrison, in his Cheviot Speech in 1893,
declared that the discussios Of slavery the nom
slaveholding States had no sanction in the princi.
pies of the CONSTITUTIONS and he has maintained
throughout his public career that Congress has no
jurisdiction ever the institution of slavery-and he
rests his opinion upon the broad basis of the Con-
sttution.
Mr.. Van Buren, has always commended that Con-
gress had the constitutional right to Iegisate on
the subject Of slavery; but since he became an
prant for Southern votes, he admits that the exer-
else Of the right would be inexpedient.
General Harrison has always been, in feeling, in
principle and in action, with the South on this great
and vital question.
Mr. Van Buren, has always been opposed to us,
until he conceived it TO be his interest to affect
friendship.
While General Harrison was fighting the battles
of his country, and putting all his enemies 10
shame" Mr.. Van Barren was pursuing the paths Of
pleasantness and peace, and intriguing against the
Republican Administration of Mr. Madison.
General Harrison's friends can point to his i'm
portant public services, in the field and in the coun-
Gil, as evidences of his valor, his patriotism, his
ability and his willingness to serve his country
What has Mr.. Van Buren, done in the whole course
of his public life, which entities him to the graft
tude or the admiration of his countrymenf When
did he peril his precious ttle person in oppo-
sing foreign or domestic foe y But ifhe be not
Hero, as all confess he is not, what great measure.
wise in its design and salutary in its operation did
he ever propose and perfect What single act
which gave evidence of comprehensive statesman
ship or of elevated and disinterested patriotism D.

Cass was one, ia OPEN piece OF ground near the
bridge. Col. Johnsos had passed, and small por-
ton of his Regiment previously dismoanted under
the command Of Captain benjamin. Wsr6elj, aud
some infantry which had hurried up, were carving
on the skirmish. Mai. Wood had been ordered up
with small piece Of artillery. Commodore Perry
urged General Harrison TO Withdraw, he was too
much exposed for the Commander-in-Chief II
mistake not, Gen. Cass united with the Commodore
and offered to remain and see his orders executed
The General, with Perry and the residue Of his suite
started of; but General Harrison went but few
steps and returned and retained his position near tho
cannon, until the Indians disodged aud driven
the bridge repaired, and the army put in position TO
cross. During this whole time be was as much OF
more exposed than the soldiers, being on horseback
all the while. The Commodore afterwards remon-
strated with him against this unnecessary exposure
observing, that in open he could stand ERE toIe
raby well, but there fun in being shot at by
concealed enemy" The Genera justified his con-
duct by saying +" the General who commands Re-
publican volunteers in whose ranks the hes blood OF
the country is be found, must never think OF his
own safety, at least until his troops become familiar
with his disregard Of personal danger" Hardihood

REMARKApLE ANEcDorE.-Tho par
ticuars Of the following very striking in
cidcn, was lately told Us by friend, a. q
fact falling within the.rangc OF his perso-
nal knowledge, and having the most psr-
feet confidence in his veracity, We scruplo
not TO give it as such to our readers:
In seaport town on the West coast Of
England, some years ago, there was no.
tice given Of a sermon to be preached on
Sunday evening, in dissenting chapel
there. The preacher was man Of great
celebrity in his calling; and that circum-
stance, together with the pious object Of
the dscourse--to enforce the duty Of
strict observation ofthe Sabbath--attrac.
ted nm OVERLOOKING audience. Ailer the
usual PREDATORY prayer and hymn Of praise,
the preacher gave out the text, and was
about to proceed, VIXEN he suddenly pau-
scd, leaned his head on the pulpit, and re-
NAMED silent for few moments. Ii was
imagined that no had become indisposed
but be soon recovered himself and aIdres-
sing the congregation, said, that before
entering on his discourse, he begged to
| narrate 10 them short anecdote.
II is now exactly fifteen years., said
he, " since was last within this place Of
worship and the occasion was, a. many
here may remember, the very same q
that which has now brought Us together.
Among those that came hisher, that eve
ming, were three young men, who came
not only with the intention oil insulting
and knocking the venerable pastor, but
even with stones in their pockets to throw
at him ns he stood 10 his pulpit. Accor.
DINGHY, they had not listened long to tho
discourse, when one Of them said impatl-
entity, Why need we listen any longer to
the blockhead throw but the second
stopped him, saying, " let us first see what
he makes Of this point" The curiosity
Of the latter was no sooner satisfied, than
he cried, ay, confound him, il 10 only 40 !
cxpected-throw now - But here the
| third interposed, ind said il would be bet.
ter altogether 70 give up the design which
brought them there. Al this remark his
two associates took offence, and lsit the
church, while he himself remained to the
end. nNow, mark my brethren, contin.
ued the preacher. with much emotion.
"what were afterwards the several fates
! Of these young men. The first was hung
many years ago, AT Tyburn, for tho crime
Of forgery ; the second is now lying un-
der sentence Of death for murder in the
Jail in this city. The third, my brethren"

The Texas Sentinel pronounces the story of Col.

mines, TO be hoax. The rnmor never received

ett The facts of the case are these For many
months the Mexican Federasts have been trying
their utmost to get the Texans embroiled in their
quarrel with the Centrasts, and have resoried to
every sacrifice to effect the purpose. Among other
things the Crockett hnmbug was tried. The ex.
