In March, he tells the editor OF the Philan.
thropist repeatedly that he had belonged to
an Abolition society.
On the 10Th April, nothing can induce
him to answer any interrogatories about 1t,
coming from friends or foes!
On the 18th April, he answers the interro-
gatories of his friend at Springfield, Illinois,
r. peating, no doubt, the same story of his be-
longing TO an Abolition sociey.
And on the 1st June, in his letter TO Mr..
Lyons, he can '.hardly believe" that he has
ever used the term Abolition society at all to
designate the association to which he belong
ed!
Could the most drunken lover Of hard CT.
der be guilty of more gross prevarication?
In his letter to Mr.. EVANS, the General
says, don't publish II.
In his letter to Mr.. Henry, he says don't
publish ii.
In his letter to Mr.. Lyons, he says don't
publish ii.
And his "Confdential Committee" say, in
their Oswego letter. dated Feb. 29th, 1910,
the policy Of the committee is
"Ihat the general M Ike no further decla-
ration of his principles FOR THF PUBLIC
EYE whilst occupying his present position"
TO this policy the General has strict; adj
hered in all his letters since written, as far
as any knowledge of them has come to the
public They have all been written only for
the p, irate eye!
Why was this " POLICY" adopted? The
reason is paIPable. 1t was TO MAKE
FALSEHOOD EFFECTIVE by circulating
~ o., nrIpI 10 and 1,n,J The of
such an ePoSure as we no,r make!
Will any lover Of truth vote for this MANI
MORE OF 1T.
In his letter to the Hon. Jos. l.. Williams,
dated May %, 1870, published in the Nation
al InteIligencer, General Harrison says:
"Ail the connection which | have ever
had with the Corresponding Committee
of the Wings Of Hamilton county, (that
which | suppose had been alluded toy is, that
| requested the committee, through It's chair
man, Major Gwynne, to give the information
sought for, in some of the numerous letters
! received, in relation to nv political opini-
ons, and events in my past life"
Now see what he SAYS in his speech at
Columbus, Ohio, a short time Afterwards, viz:
Il have no committee, iellow-citizens.
confidential or other. 1t is true that | en-
ployed my friend Major Gwynne to aid me
IN returning replies to some of the numerous
questions prnpounded to me by letters. But
Ia such only as any man could answer, one
as well rs another.
But it seems that Major Gwynne was
chairman of a committee of the citizens Of
Cincinnati or of Hamilton county. When
the famous Oswego letter was received, it
was read, and as usual with such letters. i
endorsed it and handed it TO Major Gwynne.
But il seems, when the answer was prepared.
it was signed also by his colleagues of the
county or city committee. OF all this ! new
n~o,hing-nor in their capacity Of committee.
Rad they any thing to do with my letters"
In his letter. thSGrneralsays he '.requeStcd
THE COMMITTEE, through its chai r-
man, Waj. Gwynne. TO gire the information
fna ia some of The numerous letters /
receirei." In his speech he says: "Of all
this | knew 1oihing-nor in their capaciiyl
Of committee. HAD THEY ANY THING
TO DO WITH MY LETTER!r"
A proper candidate this for the party
principles!-[Er &c. Globr.l
