IAN ELOQUENT RECORD"
In the year 1890, when eighteen years
of sge, General Harrison says he "be-
came a member of an abolition society,""
"the obligations Of which he has since
faithfully reformed" ="
In 1900, he delivered a speech in Con-
Rress in favor of maintaining standing
army during the alien and sedition law
Administration, and in opposition 10 the
Republicans in that body-John Randolph,
Nathaniel Macon, and others, who voted
against it.
In one of the years during the "reign
of terror" Administration of John Adams,
he returned home from Congress with the
"black cockade" of Federalism on his
hat.
In 1900, he was appointed by the Fed
'eEal Government of John Adams, Govern
or of the Northwest Territory.
In 1907, he approved and signed bill
'as Governor of Indiana, providing for the
selling of white men and women for fines
aud costs of court, and for whipping them
in case of an attempt to escape this cru
el sentence, with thrty-nine stripes!
In 1918 he resigned his commission in
the army, and quit the service oGhis coun-
try at one of the gloomiest periods of the
war.
In 1916, a resolution was introduced
into the United States Senate, voting
medal and thanks to Gov. Shelby and
General Harrison, which honor was refus-
ed to Gen Harrison, and his name strck-
en- out. This vote General Harrison,
said had "atiached TO his name disgrace
which no time, or efforts of his, could ef-
face"
In 1917, he proposed plan for ma
king soldiers oil all the boys in the coun-
try, by training them up in camps at an
annual expense oftwo millions of dollars.
He said, in reference to the plan, that if
Government should not be able to defray
the heavy expense otherwise, it ought to
make itself able by laying additional taxes.
In 1919, while a member of Congress,
lie voted Tor resolutions asserting the pow
or of Congress to make roads and canals
in the different States, and altogether
broadly maintaining all the anti-Republi-
can doctrines of Internal Improvement by
the General Government.
In 1920, he introduced into the Ohio
LEGISLATURE resolutions declaring slavery
10 be a great moral and political evil, and
requesting the representations Of that
State in Congress to vote against the ad-
mission Of Missouri or any other Ter
ritOry, unless slavery was restricted in its
limits.
In 1881, he voted for a bill in the Ohio
Legislature, similar to the ldiana law, TO
sell free white men.
In 1895, on the charge of Mr.. Randolph
in the United States Senate, he acknowl.
edged himself to have been the friend Of
John Adams and the other supporters Of
his Federal administration, that he beIiev-
ed him to be ga pure patriot" and his
conduct had proved him so.
In 1928, he voted for the Odious tariff
of that year, known as the "bl of abom-
nations"
In 1881, in an address to the Agricultu-
raj Society ofHamlton county, o., he said
when asked whether he could, under any
circumstances abandon the tariff policy
"when the streets of Norfolk and Charles
ton shall be covered with grass, and our
Southern friends find no market for their
p,oduce, and this state of things can be
directly traced to the tariff, would then
Instantly give my vote for its modification
or entire repeal"
In 1888, in a speech delivered at Che
volt, in Ohio, he declared that the right
OEState interposition strikes at the very
foundation Of the Legislative powers of
ConCress;" he insisted that the judicial
power was paramount to state rights: he
advocated National Bank, the system Of
apro,ective tariff, and the doctrines of the
proclamation and lorce bill.
In 1884, he declared in a speech de.
livered at Vincennes, that sit has always
. been an object near his heart to see the
surplus revenue Of the Government ap.
DtoDriated to the cause Of emancipation
buying up the slaves.
In 1899, the Harrisburg Convention
wns forced by Abolition influence into the
nomination Of Harrison, against the vote
of the whole Southern delegation.
In 1910, General Harrison declares
~his determination to make no more
avowals ofhis opinion for the public eyes
Gto answer no questions on De sublec
Of Abolition, to friends or foes"
To conclude the whole 1t is ascertain
ed and proven that his friends at tht
North are making secret pledges by hi
authority, to the abolitionsts, assuring
them of the soundness on that point; 'ha
they are proclaiming him as bank ma
where the Bank is popular, and again'
