GENERAL HARRISON At hoME.-ne nave long since
been fully satisfied from concurrent facts ana from the
,os,;mony Of dispassonatc men who knew General
I;son If his mental disqualification for discharging
The duties of Chief Magistrate OF the nation. Our
conviction is now strengthened by the spontaneous
opinion Of plain honest citizen OF ONO, "a aetghOor

taken from letter to nenoer OF congress from fehr
svIvnnio in which State the writer formerly resided,
and where he voted for Gen. Harrison in 1886, not

am much astonshed that any party or set OF people

fairs of his farm WE'LL is think, poorly calculated to
manage the affairs of nation!
General Harrison has not the voice OF
the people of his county in his favor, and could
not be elected to any office in their gilt IN opposition to
popular Republican candidate.
Ii is well understood here, however, that the reason
why the Wing and Abolition party would like to make
such President, because the plant old General
could easily be made to answer their Office graspng de-

GEN. HARRISON CONDENSED BY MS own BioGRA-
PHER.-NIr Dawson, the bographer Of Gen. VIM. ii
Harrison, says that "therc two qualifications lack
inc in the character of General Harrison, which ne
Their riches, poverty, honesty, compensate for
He wants the talent required for the proper exercise Of
the powers vested in the President Of great nation
and he holds political principles which are repuda'ed
bv Democratic Republican people, who alone raise
him or any other candidate TO that dignifed station
Either of those two qualifications lacking in him OF
any other candidate renders them unfit for the office
let them be poor, rich or 50 honest and
it is upon those alone that would ever oppose the
election of any man. 1t is true, continues Mr.. Daw
son. "we wrote the Biography of Gen. Harrison, it is
equally true that we defended him from the ISLANDERS o.
some OF those who profess 10 be his most ardent
friends-but it is equally true that in orr immediate in
tercourse with him, though we saw every thing was
amiable and honorable in his dcmeanor and charac-
ter could perceive that superiority of talent
that could recommend him TO any intelligent man as
fit person to occupy the Presidential chair"
