GEN. HARRIsoN's KINDNESS

Anecdotes of benevoence and kindness are
always interesting The following is told of
General Harrison: A few years since young
Irishman named John Hanley of respectable pa
rents, emigrated to Cincinnati, Ohio, with his
wife, whom he had married for love- against his
fathers wishes, which was the cause of his
leaving the country. Some short time after
Hanley, who kept small store in Cincinnati,
heard of the death of his father, who was man
OF much property. Having also been informed
that he would thereby come into comfortable
independence, he sold out every thing and EN-
barked with his wife for Ireland. On arriving
there, what was his disappointment to learn that
he was left five pounds, or, in other words disin-
herited. He Immediately raised small sum of
money to pay his passage and that OF his wife,
and returned to Cincinnati, where his wife, who
was an accomplished and interesting woman
endeavored to obtain livelihood for her husband
by teaching music. Gen. Harrison having heard
of the peculiarly distressing circumstances above
related, became warmly interested in behalf OF
the family with whose touching and somewhat
romantic history he sympathised with that be
nevolence of heart which has ever been charac-
terstc of his noble and chvalrous disposition
There was the berth of a clerkship in his office
vacant. Ii was worth five hundred dollars a
year. Many personal friends of the General so
licited it of him in behalf of their sons. He re
luctanty refused them all and gave>the place TO
the poor young Irishman, Haniey. And let all
true hearted Irshmen remember (and what
Irishman has not a warm and true heart p that
Hanley held the office to the hour of his death,
and was paid up TO that moment though for the
last six months of his life he had been i'll and
unable 10 perform the duties Of his station. The
authorities of the above statements are the fol
lowing persons at Cincinnati, viz: Bishop Pur-
cell, the Rev. Mr.. Montgomery and DIR, Bron-

LATE FROM TEXAS.

BY the arrival of the steam packet-ship Colum
ba at New Orleans from Galveston in 40 hours
papers to the 22d ult. were received A letter
dated Bexar, lst ultimo, is published in the
Houston Times of the 2lst the writer speaks Of
the invasion of Texas as a thing so certain that
any man who should attempt to doubt il would
be laughed at for his Incredibly
He says: I" In fact, Texas is already invaded,
for General Ampudia, with five or six hundred
cavalry, has already passed the rubicon, (Rio
Grande,) some twenty or thirty leagues below
Loredo. So that if we do not act with the
utmost promptitude in sending an army west
ward, we shall soon see our frontier towns a
prey to savage hordes more relentless than
the Cumanche, and more cruel than the exaspc-
rated Cherokee. BY the bye, there are about
three hundred Cherokee warriors now in San
Fernando who will undoubtedly join the Cen
tralists in their expedition to this country, for
they have many wrongs to revenge, either real
or imaginary"
In another letter. dated the 9th ult, he writes
We have northumberland brought by Mexi-
cans who have come in from Rio Grande, that
our territory is already invaded by the Central
army, about 1000. strong, with eight pieces of
artillery, and we are expecting their arrival here
every day-that is, those who believe the re
port--for there are some here, as well as with
you who will not believe il till they see and feel
it. 1t was SO when Santa Anna was marching
upon this place in 1885,
Captain Windle, of the Columbia, states that
every third man in the Republic is now being
draughted in the militia.

The Philadelphia American Sentinel an ad
ministration print alludes to the great Harrison

The Philadelphia American Sentinel, an ad-
ministration print, alludes to the great Harrison
Convention at Baltimore, and says:
History mentions no such gathering of people
since that in the Champ de Mars to swear TO the
Constitution. Whether speak Of the numbers
present, their boundess enthusiasm or the vast ter
rtory from the most distant points Of which they
assembled, we may, chronicers Of passing events,
mention it as a surprising pageant, and thrilling
demonstration Of the intensity of that feeling which
animates the supporters Of Gen Harrison"
The long procession through Baltimore street,
the multtudes that thronged every passage,
door, window, root, and even steeple, presented
a picture TO which we can recall no comparison
but Martins celebrated painting Of the Depart
ure Of the Israelitcs out Of Egypt. To the latest
day of the longest life of each one present must
that wonderful scene be remembered.
For our. own part, we can scarcely tell which
moved us most, the Convention itself, or the
apparently myriads Of fair ladies', whose beauty
would have well nigh bewildered us, had no,
their enthusiastic voices and waving banners
cheered us on TO duty.

his opinion, fifteen millions added TO the revenues
OF the Post Office, five millions more would be
enough for any Administration This estimate
showed the party in power to be extravagant to
the amount Of nineteen millions
But while he was happy to hear these decla-
ratlons, he regretted the other remarks of the
senator. He denied both the premises and the
conclusion. He denied that the tariff was the
cause OF the surplus and that the surplus was
the cause of the increased expenditures. The
excess of the sale Of the public lands was the
real cause Of the surplus and if that land bill
which General Jackson defeated by retaining it
In his pocket, had passed into law, there
would have been none. The receipts from the
lands would have gone forth to beautify and
improve the country. But suppose the protec-
tive policy was the cause Of the surplus, il was
by no means necessary that il should lead to
extravaganza, nor would il have done SO had the
Government been in wise and competent hands
This administration indeed might not be able TO
AVOID running into extravaganza; but no infer
ence of general necessity should be drawn from
their conduct
Mr. CLAY then turned from Mr.. Calhoun, to
notice the extraordinary attempts which have
been made TO shift the blame for the waste of
the public money from the Executive and his
partisans to the shoulders of the Opposition.
The King and his Ministers come down to Con-
gress and proclaim that their opponents, mi
nority, are responsible for the expenditures Of
their administration! Is not the Executive at
the head Of the majority party in Congress and
when, within the last twelve years, have the
Opposition had majority in both Houses? Do
they pretend now that the minority could con-
troll their course? Will they dare to assert that
the Opposition could compel General Jackson to
axe less than he chose to ask for2 No. No.
The Administration is responsible--the people
are holding the men in power to their proper
accountability F; and no man, who reads the signs
will be-
What is it, (Mr. CLAY asked,) that the
publication of this new report from the Secre-
tary is designed to meet and confute? An
official report from the same officer! We have
sent abroad his own statements in ga printed
zeal. Whal IIaud, What deceptlon mas tnere

our constituents what we have derived from the
Secretary
They show state Of things appalling indeed;
but gentlemen, need not expect to get over the
facts so conclusive of the fate Of this admins
tration by mystifying explanations.
After few additional observations from Messrs
Buchanan and Calhoun, the question was taken
and THIRTY THOUSAND COPIES of the Report were
ordered to be printed at an enormous expense
Thus it is that the money Of the people is squan-
dered, for the purpose Of circulating the Admin
istrations demonstrations of its economy.

JOHNSON, ON THE SUBJECT OF ADO

President Van BuRES, in his letter of March
6, 1896, to a committee of gentlemen Of North
Carolina, says:

myself safe in pronouncing that Congress does no,
possess the power of aboishing slavery in the Dis,
trict of Columbia
Vice President JOHNSON, in speech before

In the District of Columbia, containing popula-
non OF 5000 souls, and probably AS many slaves as
the whole Territory Of Missouri, the power Of pro
Sidng for their emancipation rests with Congress"
The same gentleman declared that the power
OF Congress over slavery in the District could
not be questioned" and exclaimed, "why this
