GENERAL HARRISON.

The enthusiasm with which the nomina-
ton of the Hero of Tippecanoe has been
received throughout the country, seems to
know no bounds. We received few days
since, letter from an old friend of ours in
Ky :, a man whose head is whitened by the
frosts of sixty winters He has been for
forty years the intimate personal and politi-
cal friend of Mr.. Clay, and in his love and
admiration of that great and good man, he is
surpassed by none. But deep and abiding
as is his respect and veneration for Mr.
Clay, he is preparing to enter the lists for
Harrison, and we venture to assert, that
when the time for action arrives, not one
among the thousands of gallant and patriotic
wings on Kentucky's soil, will do better
service than the writer of the letter alluded
to-. He has done good service ere now in
the Halls of Congress, and he will not be
found wanting in the approaching struggle.
Gut hear what he says Of Gen. Harrison.
"Before this reaches you, you will have
seen that the Wing National Convention
have nominated Gen Harrison for President,
and John 1ylor for Vice President. This
is a result was not prepared for, but it is
we'll. II the wings doubted success under
the banner of Mr.. Clay, that very doubt
would have defeated him, and hope never
to see him beaten again. He deserves a
better fate. am willing and anxious to
fight under the banner Of sold Tippecanoe, y
have done so on 6loodier field, and l
know him for a brave and honest, as well
! as great and good man."
Such is the testimoney of a grey haired
Imam, who fought and bled by Harrison's
hide at the battle Of aTippecanoe,n and at
tie Thames. Such is the testimony OF
one whose whole life has been one Of devo-
y Henry Clay Vicksburg Wing.

tie strongest that can be brought up against
Gen. Harrison. But to what, after all, does
il amount It is merely conclusive evil

Without dishonor, have accumulated one Of

THE HARRISON HURRA.

The following stirring passage occurs il
the New Years Address of the Cincinna,
Gazette. 1t will find an enthusiastic re
spouse in the hearts of thousands upon thou
sands of freemen in this vast Republic:
Turn we to loftier themes than these!
What tumult-hark! what loud acclaim,
Swells up on the careering breeze!
Ay, ring it out-the name will yet
Fen louder peals and loftier get,
As, gathering strength, it fast shall run
From thoughtful sire to fiery son,
And by resistless hosts be given
To each far.journeying wind of heaven!
Then ring it gloriously out!
1t will not prove or weak or vain.
Thousands there be will catch that shout,
And shout it to the winds again,
Whom other sound would fail to rouse
Who meier would other cause espouse.
1t wakens memories of one,
Among our country's noblest names;
And they will shout for HARRISON,
Who led them at the Thames,
And join his battling hosts again,
And conquer with him now, as then.

ffARRIsoN's POVERTY.

The Office holders at Washington CITY
under Martin Van Buren,, are out against
Gen. Harrison on account Of his poverty:
They say he is poor man, and therefore
unfit to be elected to the Presidency! 1t
would be disgrace, they seem to think, to
elect a poor old soldier to SO high an office !!
"Give him. says one Of these shirelings' OF
the Government, in letter to the Baltimore
Republican, ga barrel Of hard cider, and
settle pension of two thousand year On
him, and my word for it, he will sit the re-
mainder of his DAYS in his log cabin. by the
side of ea-eoal' fire, and study moral phi
losophy n-Lancaster (Pa.) Herald.
The question will come up in due time
between the honest, working man of the "log
cabin" and the pampered inmate of the
"pnlace." If, after thirty years of honest,
able and Jealous service of his country, Ge-
| neral Harrison is the contented occupant of
log cabin, and Martin Van Buren,, without
any sort of service which has been useful 10
his country, is the indweller of palaces, liv-
ing upon the "fat of the land;' it will be for
the people TO correct the procedure, accord
ing to their notions Of right and justice.
These notions will probably differ somewhat
from those Of the well fed Office holders.
To judge from the present signs, the tenan,
of the clog cabin is growing in favor with
the people, whom he has so truly served
and SO honestly, withal, as to be in compare
tive poverty, after SO long and varied ser.
vice. There is no faith in these signs, OF
in the progress of healthy public opinion, il
it be not the will of the people that the hon.
est occupant of the humble sscabin" shall be
exalted, and the naughty inmate of the pal
ace abased. 1t will be one of the most diff
cult tasks they ever undertook, for the shire
lings' of the spoils party, to persuade the
people that the man who lives in sloa
cabin and partakes nothing more costly
/ than an occasional glass of 'hard cider,
may not be a. trustworthy, as honest, as ca

he who fares sumptuously every day, III tn

IS the people, to make change in the currer

y fail of being salutary,) and to see how tn

DEAR SIR-Your favor of the ooh instant
was received last evening from Crncinnati.
You DO me justice in believing that still
menced my political life, in favor of facita-
ting the requirement of landed property by
the INDECENT and enterprising portion of our
fellow-citizens. Il neither am, never was,
and trust never shall be, either Jacobin,
Agrarion or Locofoco, if | rightly under
stand the meaning of the latter term. Far
enough hope from either entertain the
most horrible opinion Of those who endeavor
to infuse into the minds o ftle poor, Jealous.
les against the rich, and | would protect the
latter at any hazard, in the employment ofany
amount of property they may acquire by in
dustry and honest enterprise. But whilst
would give no legal facilities 10 the acquisi-
ton of million. by individuals, would at.
ford those facilities to the poor man, to &C
quire an interest in that soil which, by the
laws of his country, his blood is pledged to
defend. If the Treasury should suffer
something by az operation Of this kind, the
republic would gain ten fold in the increase
of tho e principles by which it is supported.
An addition to the national stock of patriot
ism, morals and industry, would be an am
pie compensation for even a large deficit in
the annual balances of the Treasury, and
who can doubt that such world be the effect
Of IA system Of this kind? We may love our
country because by its institutions our rights
and Liberties are protected, but we will love
it better if we can rightly call one spot Of its
surface our own.
And how many thousand instances have
occurred in this western country OF men re.
claimed from habits of idleness, and even Of
dissipation, and becoming staid and useful
members Of the community, by the occur
renee of a fortunate circumstances by which
they have been enabled to assume the inde-
pendent station of freebooter. For these
and. many other reasons which could give.

GEN. HARRISON AND PRESCRIPTION
CLAIMe

CLAIMS.
Two years ago the locos in the nev
Sirtes made great cutlery about the pre.
emption right, and said that the democrats
republican party must be opposed 10 them.
because they knew that Mr.. Clay would BE-
their candidate for Presidency-and that
be opposed them.
We told them that Gen. Harrison was en-
phatically the father of the present land svs-
tem-tliat he was in favor of letting the
poor settle, and have an interest in the soil,
which his blood was pledged to defend; but
they always answered by saying that he
would not be the candidate fixed on.
lie has however, as we predicted, receiy.
ed The nomination, and as it is important that
his views should be known upon this sub
Ject, we re-publish letter from the Gener.
al, which appeared nearly two years ago.
lie is our acknowledged candidate, and &C
cordlng TO the former reasoning Of our OPP
ponenls they must now concede that our par.
ty are all in favor of the presumption rights.

various misrepresentation on this matter.
the Van Buren, presses should publish this
letter, and apologize for their form ererrone-

Gen. Harrison is emphatically thespoor

pie, and their prosperity is the wish nearest
and dearest to his heart.-St Louis Bulletin.

for the highest Office in the gift of our coun-
try, it may not be improper to inquire, what
are your opinions upon the subjects Of ma

be aware that the 'spre-emption bill' is a
subject Of deep interest TO the people of the
West, and we should like TO know if you are

THE NOMINATION.

The New York Express has the following
paragraph on the subject ofth recent nom.
nation nj Harrisburg. 1t embodies survey
Of the whole ground, which is as encoura-
ging in its spirit, as It Is true in its outline.
frrThc Wings Of the Union are now
.'encamped in n superb position before the
enemy. Discord is hushed; and no man
will be more prominent than Henry Clay
in the necessary propitiations. Pennsylva-
mia is brought into line again. II Harrison
cannot take the State, he can keep the adj
yersary in an intrenched camp, and ne dare
not sortie out. New York and Ohio are
Iarm in arm. Indiana is secure. The New
England Regiments are impregnable now.
Illinois is wheeled into a Wing position -
The MARYLAND Line and the Jersey Blues
are ON hand. We will have good guerilla
fight throughout the whole South; but If the
South wants to be rid by our "Northern man
with Southern principles" we, who SHOOK
HIM off our backs, can look on and see him
ride, and laugh at the asses that carry him
New York can chuckle well, as her cast-ofl
politician strikes his spurs on bare-backs
there. They who love to be cheated, and
/ were born to be, let them be! Never-no
|never-were the Wings on SO good groune
1 In the centre of the Union is our strength
The skirmishing is on its wings. We pitcf
lour tents upon the very household gods
our enemy's house, and here we dwell ire
slstible. We have driven him from his owl
guns, and here we stand with lighted match
es to fire them! Courage, then, Wings
the Union. Rally, organize, lay hold of tn
i Tippecanoe emblem, and lay low the enc.
i mics Of this Union."

JACKSON, Jan. "a, 1910.

i mark this day with black stone. 1t is
a han mans day, fit one for the deeds it
has witnessed. The dissertation Of the con-
stitution has been commenced in manner
which leaves no doubt that the work will be
completed. In word, Speight's resolution
has passed by vote oil AZ to 81.
In order that our readers HAY fully un-
derstand the vote which has been taken,
will briefly state the substance Of the reso-
luton. tits this:
That SO much of the Governors Message
as relates to banks and banking be referred
to select committee, with instructions to
introduce a hill containing substantially the
following provisions, to-wit: That the banks
of this State be required to resume specie
payments on or before the first day of April
next on all their liabilities. That each of
board of directors be required under heavy
penalties to report to the Governor whether
they do SO or not, and that upon the failure
of any bank to do so, the charters Of such
banks shall become null and void, and the
Governor shall appoint three commissioners,
resident in the county where such hanks are
situated, who shall give bond and security,
| and take an oath for the performance of their
| duties, and shall proceed to wind up the
| affairs of such banks, giving the debtors
| thereof four yeats to pay their liabilities.
When the House went into committee this
morning, Mr.. Bodley rose and addressed
them in clear, logical and argumentatiye
speech, of two hours in length, in which he
demonstrated the absurdity and folly and
unconstltutionalIty of the measure, in the
clearest and plainest manner The home
truths which he told. and the plain and for
chile method of doing it, discomposed Mr.
Speight not little. The easy self-compla
cency, with which he listens to his or,
voice, was exchanged for the pi,eous look o

the shalIowness and crudity of his argument
