We have thus permitted Capt. II. Daniel to
speak for himself ms he did in 1882. After having
supported jackson and then denounced him as
an USURPER and MONARCHIST; after hav-
ing denounced Van lIufen MS BURRITE, FED
ERALIST and TRAITOR, and then support
ed him and after having voted for Harrison, and
now abandoned him and denounced him us a
federast--is he not q ularveously proper man 10
say any thing himself OF 10 prove any thing
Who could manufacture false certifi Gates, or WHO
procure false Witnesses, easily man who is
himself so utterly destitute Of all honesty rprn
ciple as to be OH three sides in eight years, and
stand fol til sclfconvcted either OF heng liar, or
a supporter Of usurpers, traitors and iedernlisls
This is the creature who has been employed Ivy
Kendall in his dirty work. ButIleXt comes "Crp
tain John Fowler" He replies generally aud at
frma,ivey to all of Capt Ds. questions, in let
ter Of only Is lines, which he closes thus;
"My health will not enable me to answer more
! fully with regard to the exciting scenes OF that
memorable period OF our history"
All he cnn testify to every thing that Daniel
puts into his mouh hut 10 M particulars mo
specifications And who is John Fowler? lie
lcds member Of Congress, some 30 years ago,
but he is now but the wreck of man, III the last
stages of decay, brought on by intemperance aud
dissipation. He was, too, a republican; and
when Harrison was suggested rs candidate of the
Republican party, to represent Indiana territory
in Congress- this same John Fo,cler ,cds one among
others Of The Republicans ,oho ,ctntio Harrison and
persuaded him 10 consent 10 run far The office lie
must have known, then, that he was tesifying
falsely; rather perhaps, he is incapable OF re-
menberng or stating correctly any Of the events
! of the time 10 which he is made TO allude. Con-
tradicted as he is by his own former conduct, and
con,radcied by Harrison himself, and by the old
residents Of Cincinnati, his statements must go as
the poor drivo of drunken man fit stuff TO aloru
the columns of the official organ Of the federal
administration.
! We deem il sufficient that both Daniel and
Fowler are entirely discredited By their olOn con-
duel, down TO the time at which they chose to be-
come certifiers ofthis falsehood but let us fur
| Their ask, why is it that this revelation new
err was made until now Why is it, that both
Daniel and Fowler have lived for years side by
side while Harrison has been candidate for the
Presidency while, too the question as to his for
mer sentiments has also been continually debated
and yet Daniel supported him, and Fowler new.
er revealed 10 ,he world this great secret? Why
is it, too, iliat not sing le man who was in Con-
gress with Harrison, save this poor drunken John
Fowler, has been called or to testify? Why? all
the whole is n miserable conspiracy 10 establish
by lasehood what never could he sustained 10y
truth Pressed on every hand to desperation by
the popularity OF Harrison, Kendall and his pen
stoned crew now vainly strive TO LIE HlM
DOWN; and in this Infamous work they select,
as their TOOLS creatures Of no character, or OF n
J., VIGOROUSLY bad one, where they are known, and
palm off their lalsehoods upon the people ct dis
tant points of the Union, where they hope the real
character Of these cneaIures will not he known,
This is the secret Nor is this case of Fowler the
only instance. A postmaster by the name OF
Price, residing in Milton, Ohio, has not only said
that Harrison wore black cocknke, (hy the way,
this may be tue, for all officers in the army, what
ever might he lher politics, wore the cockade ms
part of their military paraphrenOlia,) but S"ort
TO his statement before a Justice officer. VIZ

however, it was because unimpeachalle nscn
