cinnalli Republican upon the subject Of the
political opinions Of Gen. Harrison upon the
various questions Of The day. We think this
article is conclusive ID the mind of al
reasonable orsven unreasonable men. The
Republican Is published at Of near the
residence Of Gen. Harrison and regarded as
in great measure cognizant Of his senti-
ments, as they arc expressed
GEN HARRISON AND HIS OPINIONS.
The Van Buren, press, in the recklessness
Of party spirit IS laborng 70 create an i'm
preston that there are certain measures Of
public policy connected with the Admins
iration Of the General Goternmet, on which
General Harrison has never expressed an
opinion; and that he IS now in the keeping
Of Committee who viii not permit him to
open or answer the letters addressed to him
on these subjects lest be should commit HIM
selfupon them.
Both of these charges are gratuitous and
unfounded. On al the following matters,
We feaFlessly affirm that General sH1eezzTison
stands publicly committed before the nation;
and that there may be no further misrepre-
sentation on this point, we add our authority
for saying 50, in-each case:

Ifthere Be any other matters of public
policy, which General HaETison's opinions are
not known, we will thank the papers devo-
ted to the Administration to designate them.
The folly, asWell as the falsehood Of the
charge, that General Harrison is in the keep
ing Of Committee, who will not suffer him
to answer the letters of enquiry addressed to
him. IS abundantlv established BY the simple /
fact, thar upon az The political questions
