The Hooe Case.-A great deal has been said
in Wing newspapers all over the country, in
abuse Of the course of MIR. Van Buren, in the
celebratedcas of Lieutenant EIooe. We copy
the following on this subject from the Lexing-
ton (Va.) Gazette, u Whig paper:
"By the common law and uniform prac-
tice i'll the navy under it, negroes are competent
witnesses against white men. They are not
permitted to testify against white men in Yir-
ginia, because that is very properly forbidden
bv an express law ufthe State. They are good
witnesses, however, in many Of the free States.
They were, then, competent, legal witnesses in
the case. The question then arises, what right
has The Federal Executive to repeal the laws of
the land. merely because he may deem them in
expedienn Are our Wing friends-are the
frecmen Of this land-piepared to surrender
this monstrous and despotic authority into the
hands Of the Federal Elective? Yet this is the
very principles involved in The case, for the Pres
demt ia universally censured by the Wing
press, because he would not repeal the law of
the land authorizing negroes TO give evidence
against white men. AS wing, rs Republi.
can, intensively jealous Of Federal enchroach-
ments; nay more, as an American freeman, we,
for one, enter our protest against such Il mon-
strous usurpation of power BY the Federal
Executive.
"Let US not be misunderstood. We are no
advocates for negroe evidence against white
men. On the contrary, we ure strongly opro.
sed 10 it. But let the loathsome, the digruce
ful, the degrading law he repealed by Con.
grest-by the representatives Of the people
not by The Federal Executive. What freeman
eau tolerate the hare idea Of Executive Legsla.
toni Give this power to your Executive, and
he is a despot, and you are his slave.''

THE TORY PRESS VS.. WILLIAM HENRY
HARRISON

When it was first announced that the Harrisburg
Convention had nominated Gen. HARRISON for
the highest Office in The gift Of the American peo
Pile, the Tory press, from one end Of the country
TO the other, assailed him with the most savage and
unrelenting magniy. Every degrading epithet
which huma ingenuity and human inalice could
devise, has been uns7arngly applied 10 that dis
tinguished man. True 10 their Tory principles,
they have seized the stale eptIes of "coward" 81
"granny," which the British applied 10 the gallant
and noble Wayne, ard applied thom to IARRI
SON than when drawer man never dew a
sword. They have deiided him because he is
poor, and have changed lin with living in clog
cabin, and drinking "hard CIDER the same as
their Tory brethren Of old charged the brave and
generous Marion with lining upon s,oeet potatoes,
and sleeping under a leg Forty years spent in
honorable public service in the field and in tho
Senate, is to them as nothing; the confidence of
every President, from Washington to Jackson, is
regarded not; an honesty Of purpose and an integ
rity which is unimpcached and unimpenchablo, a
character " hich has never been obscured by the
blightng breath of calumny, all, all could not
protect him from their venomous assaults. But
like Proctor and his ferocious allies at Fort Megs,
these malignant ASSISTANTS Of one of,he pures pat
riots and most enlightened statesmen Of the Repub-
lie, will be driven back and overwhelmed with
disgrace and remorsc Already do they begin to
Moderate their tone-they the spontaneous
enthusiasm with which his nomination has been
hailed from North TO South, and from East 80 West,
that he has deep hold on the affections of The
people. They will find that their outrageous SLAM
ders upon man who has devoted his life to the
Of his country, will not subserve their pur-
pose, but the other hand, will stir up their own
partizans to mutiny and rage. We would say to
them:-
'.rhe brave, poor soldier ne'er despise,
Nor count him a stranger;
For he has served his country long,
In the day and hour Of danger" .9Aas

died. Mr. B. often visited the widows both be.

he became the inmate Of the widows dwelling,
in the character, we suppose, of a boarder.
He had remarked to some ofhis friends, two or
three months ago, that il this woman refused to
wed him, he would drop dead at her feet. This
prophetic assertion was literally fulfilled. On
Sunday evening last, about 8 O'Clock, he made
proposals in due form, and was rejected, when
