Our Legislature adjourned last evening TO
the 18th of September. 1t has been rather a
quiet session, though occasionally the cloven
foot OF loco focoism was shown by some of
the new leaders Of the party. From your
knowledge of the leading Wing members, !
need not assure you that all that talent and a
good cause could accomplish against a pow
eriul majority, was faithfully done. The
Boundary question was brought before them,
but nothing definite was done about il. II is,
however, believed by many that our little Gov
ernor will soon make an important move in
this game. The Legislature have adopted a
senes oil resolutions respecting the Boundary
question, one of which Ia as follows:
Resolved. That unless the British Govern
men', during the present session of Congress
make OF accept a distinct and satisfactory pro-
position for the immediate adjustment Of the
Boundary question, II will be the duty Of the
General Governn ent to take military posses
sion OF the disputed Territory and in the name
OF a Sovereign State We call upon the National
Government 10 fulfil It's constitutional obliga-
tons to establish the line which il has solemn
ly declared 20 be the true boundary and TO
protect tins Stale IN extending her jurisdic-
ton TO The utmost limits Of our Territory.

continually"
Was General Harrison ever wounded whilst
he had the command of the "NoTth Western
Army?"-BoH. Rep. March IL.
Indeed the fact we beleve,'is that he was gen
orally, if not always too far out of the reach OF
danger to run any risk of being wounded-Ed

Out of the reach of danger at Tippecanoe,
where he leaped from his horse and got in the
ranks and rallied his men. The mercy of Prov

work we have TO perform at an early day, and

Truth is, neighbor, that your party Railways"
sinks the country when il rises-and your late
victory in New York, is the mere triumph of the

The kindness in which new paper has been re-
ceiyed and the favorable notices OF 1t by our Potl-
cal friends place under many obligations to them
1t is also source of great pleasure that so lar we
have not seen single unl1nd remark from any press,
even in those to whom opposed This Is an act
of bcraitv and forbearance that, after our expert
ence and the part have taken in the political dis
cussons of the last sixteen years, deserves and re-
ceiyes our grateful Acknowledgements. Those who
know rs personav admit that have, at least the
,oor;t IF sincerity and these are times when much
sIouId he FORGIVEN for the sake of an opinion
Among those who have spoken favoraby OF us, is
che Editor of the Somerset Herald; the tenor of
whose article bespeaks friendly purpos e: but he
doos NOT fully comprehend the relation which we
hear to the Wing party, and has given to the refusal
of our late political friends to support the Editor as
printer to Congress, consequence which it does not
merit and especially as an inference may be drawn
from the article that resolved to support General
Harrison because, we had been thurst aside by them
The facts are that as far back as the controversy
between Gen jackson and South Carolina, the Edi-
tor of the Pilot assumed, for the states right party
with whom he acted, the cognomen OF WING, and
and denounced the adherents of the administration
Tories; and for this, Immediately after the Proclama-
ton one of the South Carolina Delegation, (who al
forwards committed suicide) in fit of arrangement,
assaulted, and broke his This was before the
body of the present opposition, many OF whom at
that time sustained General Jackson adopted Wing
their party names twill thus be seen that so far from
standing out and refusing to become Wing, we
stand in the front rank.
And again; the Editor says 'Fthat thus disguised
and iv used on the nomination of Gen. Harrison, we
announced intention to support him. This is
true but it leaves an inference that resolved to
support him because thus lily treated, where
as the truth is preference for General Harrison
is of long standing, and was avowed before his NOM
nation.

The Globe in scurrilous article, admits that in
his address his fellow soldiers, Gen. Harrison told
them that if they would call to him, theyFwoud
not find the string of the door latch pulled in"
What a commentary on the hireling abuse of him
is the life, the writings and speeches of the peo
ple's candidate-who that has read the published
speeches. or the written letters of Gen. Harrison has
not been struck with the classic elegance and for
BILE descriptions the original beauty OF his compost
ton How forcibly this simple allusion to his own
humble home, carrying the mind of the war worn
soldier back to his fre-side, where the devoted
wife; the aectionate mother fond sister awaited
his return 'Call when you will, fellow soldiers,
the string of the door latch will be pulled in"
Could any words more feelingly more fully express
fellowship for his companions in arms, or generous
hospitality? 1t is the eloquence of the heart and the
more eloquent because the sentiment is illustrated
BY a life of benevolence.

GENTLEMEN You call upon me, in your pa
per of the 9Th inst. 10 make public letter, adj
dressed to me by Gen. HRRRIsoN, on the subject
of abolition Ihave already replied to a similar
request made by the Editor of the Daily Tele-
graph paper published in this city but as
know not if that paper, (Which has been recently
established) is your list of exchanges, and feel
that the liberality of your conduct, towards po-
litcal opponent gives you an undonbted claim to
the respect ard courtesy of his friends repeat
the substance of that answer:
The letter in question: was written in 1886, in
anticipation of state of things, which did not
occur. 1t was therefore, not made public, and
lear mas not Deeh PteseIVeu. nj iedS', altef d
dilieent search among my papers, have been
unable 10 find it Its contents however, are per-
fectly within my recollection, and do all that is
in my power to comply with your request, by
stating them, as have done to the Editor of the
TELEGRAPH The letter embraced three points:
l. Gen. HARRISON denied the right Of Congress
10 abolish slavery in the states, or in the District
of Columbia.
O. He expressed the opinion that the Tariff
compromise ought to remain undisturbed.
8. He repudiated the practice of making APP
pointments to office, the reward of paItizan SER
vice.
This was the purport of the letter. did not
ask Gen HARRIsoN's opinion, because doubted
IL. Having been in intimate intercourse with
him for several years, | knew that his views on
these subjects were accordant with my own.

COUNTER.-The following letter from Judge Bur
nett to the Hon. VIM. Southgate, is conclusive
proof that Gen. Harrison has been at all times
sistent Democrat We call the attention of every De-
mocratc voter in the Union to the fact that every
SANDER propagated by the pensoned press recoils
its authors; whilst the venerable patriot whom they
assa, is like pure gold-unscathed by the fire of de-
traction. CINCINNATI, Feb. p, 1910
My DEAR SIR:--I remark, in reply to your let
ter of this morning, that during he tcontest
between Mr.. Jefferson and the elder Adams Gen.
Harrison and myself were residing in the Northwes-
tern Territory and of had the privilege of
voting. At that time, in habits of great init
macy with Gen. Harrison, although was Federal
ist honestly SOY and he republican of the Jefferson
school 1 supported Adams strongly, and he, with
equal warmth supported Mr.. Jefferson. During that
controversy from 1885 to 1900 inclusive, conversed
and argued with him times without number-he sus-
tanning Mr.. Jefferson and Mr. Adams. You may as
sure your friend, that there was not more consis-
tent decided supporter of Mr. Jefferson in the North
Western Territory, then Gen. Harrison For the
truth OF this declaration, most willingly pledge my
reputation.
/ state to you what saw and heard and know
When the Alien and Sedition law passed, the Gene
raj was not member of Congress. He neither vo-
ted nor had an opprtunity of voting ON that law.
