blisling the fact. He Showed too, that the Adolf

in carving the nomination of Gen. Harrison DO not
the Abotonisis understand the position OF Gen har
rson And are they not right in believing that he Will
carry out their measures, II elected has ne not given
them sufficient indications already, and Will not cons

nomination. and whose strength will carry nm mo
power If at all elected; Most assuredy Let us ex
anime some Of the indications that he has gwen liie
Abolitonsts. Why has Gen. Harrison refused TO come
out upon The question of Aboition in reply to the IN
errogaorcs of the Union Association of Oswego, New
York; WHY has he placed himself in the hands of
David Gwynne J. c. Wright, and o. NJ Spencer, to
avoid expressing his opinions like independent frank
and honest Statesman, The reason IS obvious. ne
