M. J. II [. HeGrer-Sir: Yours of the Goth Of June
l.,l ; now before me, IN which YOU wish me to give
you a detail Of the Sacramen, reported TO have been ad-
mnisiered n this village. Owing 10 the hundreds Of
letters addressed 10 me on this subject, and not beng
able . answer all, | will only give you 4 short sketch
o:th- report. On the day the Sacrament was said TO
BE- administered, there was a log cabin raised IN this
place. There being a majority Of Wings in this county,
there was about 200 persons present, and IN that NUN
Ter about 300 Democrats. There was a good deal
al .xrrtement on both sides, in which both parties pub
J ned the proceedings Of tic day. The Wings had
m-rued corn and hard cider Al the raising, and there
MS one Of our party, a strong Democrat, said II looked
Ike worshippins General Harrison, and that ne IN
tended 10 have II published in the form ola sacrament
~ would be a good joke on the Whigs-and accord
.n:.g On the following week had il published in the
CI-cIaville Waterman. II has since been refuted salts
:artorly, and proved not 10 be 50, b. both parties. !
would rust saw the charge is altogether false, to my own
CERTAIN knowledge You may if you choose have il
,siG,cd n some of yonr public papers. 20 Tor having
,-u.A told on both sides. We need not make use OF
anv unfair means to elect Mr.. Van Buren,. There is
nothing more certain than his being our next President
log cabins and hard cider go to strengthen our cause
Oaro wi! not give General Harrison more than 1000
ma oI.,y, one of the strongest Wing States in the Union.
Very truly yours.
