Gen Harrison says:
81 do not hesitate to answer both these questions IN
the affirmative The Constitution OF the I. states,
and that Of our own State, have secured 10 the people

others This is for the Aboll,lonlsis.
Again:
Il must however, take this occasion TO repeat, what
have before declared that the discussion OF Tie right
of some portion of the States which compose our Union
10 hold slaves; by assemb!age of citizens Of other
States which hold none, my opinion not sanction

This is for The South.
He concludes thus "Thc right Of the People to
write IN, speak on, and discuss ANY SUBJECT
which they may &rem worthy OF consideration, and
that of pelltonIng for the redress Of any thing ~h'ch
ii,u man consider a asrierance secured to them
both by The Federal and State Constitutions; and that
these hits can neither BE- impaired nor restricted :
The abuse of these rights IS no argument for abolish
mo them" This is for The North. On other occasions
