GENERAL HARRISON'S VOTE IN THE

All the above paragraphs have appeared in
the Globe within the last week. We consi-
der them dlsgraceful to the press of this coun-
try, and those who engage in the circulation Of
such base and Infamous calumnics ought to
be secuted and marked wherever their guilty
heads are shown or their ribald tongues are
heard. II is no compliment to any mans in
telligence or enterprise who will believe such
SANDERS, although they como from some of
the leading organs of loco-focoism. They
are the desperate resorts of despicable and
sinking men. When party cannot be sus-
tanned, but by falsehood and calumny, it is
high time for all good men to abandon and OPP
pose it.
What has the generous and victorious old
soldier, the "poor mans candidate" done,
that he sh uld be thus yiilainously treated ty

A card in the Globe of Saturday, over the
signature of IF. p. Blair" and 81. c.
Riyes," declares that they Blair and Rives
have never, directly or indirectly, made or re
ccived an overture Of any kind from Gen
Green, or any other person, in relation to the
printing of Congress-
All that we have TO say in reply, at present,
is, that, il our informant's statement be cor
rect, and we have not sufficient reason to
doubt its truth, question of veraciiy there
fore arises between Gen. Green and Blair and
Riyes. That is a question which. for the sake
Of the public, we should wish to be settled.

MR. VAN BUREN MORE OBNOXIOUS TO
THE SOUTH THAN GEN. HARRISON.

Mr.. Van Buren was urged upon the aboli-
tions,s in 1886, on the especial ground that
he was in favor Of their principles. To prove
this the public records were referred to, which
show that,
.In 1920, Mr.. Van Buren, voted that Con-
gress had the constitutional power to abolish
slavery in the Territories, and instructed the
New York Senators in Congress to vote
against the admission of Missouri"
ain 1896, he said that Congress has the
constitutional power to abolish slavery IN the
District of Columbia
"In 1921, he voted to give the free blacks
the right Of suffrage"
"In 1922 he voted in favor Of restricting
the introduction Of slaves into Florida"

the falsehood of the hour, and to read, read,
and learn for yourselves the truths Of history.
By the laws Of Ohio, as they stood in 1921,
all thieves who stole any property or money
below the value of $50, were punished by
fine and Imprisonment in the county jails.
Thousands Of these petty rogues, being i'm
prisoned for the non-payment of fines assess
ed as punishment for their crimes, lay in the
jals of the counties, fed and clothed at the
public expense, so that the law instead of in
flicting punishment, by fine as was intended,
really fed and clothed the thief as long as he
desired, and thus offered bounty for its vio-
lation. So full had the county jails become in
consequence that, they were not only public
nuisance, but great burden upon the State
Treasury. They had drawn SO largely upon
the public money that, an actual deficiency
occurred in consequence in the pententiary
fund of $4,000

was proposed TO hand them over to be work.

costs for the shortest term of labor to be per-
formed by the criminal For this General
Harrison gave his vote.
Was there any thing heinous in this On
the contrary, was it not, under the circ,lm-
stances, wise, humane and enlightened
vote ! Would it not have been better to do
the thing proposed than to shut the convcts
up in close cells, and make them slapcs IN
chains, working them with task master and
a whip at their backs, and afterwards bring
ing the fruits of their labor into competition
with those of the honest and industrious
mechanics Yet the latter policy was esta-
blished in New York and under the admi-
nstration Of Martin Van Buren and VIM. l..

that occurrences of this sort took place in
Chatham street, New York, during the Van
Buron administration Of Gov Marcy Who
has not heard of the cruelties practsed by the
loco ioco task masters in the State prison Of
New York Even now, the circumstance
of convict, who, having been driven to des
peration by these cruellies, hazarded and
lost his life in contest with his keeper, is
fresh in our minds How much more hui
