"CHANeEs The Lexington Repor-
Ter complains Of the course pursued by
r. N. WickIitfe, Esq, in refusing to
trust Harrison, who cannot trust the peo
pie with q candid avowal Of his ~senti-
ments. The Reporter is conducted by
Mr.. ID. c. WickIitfe, ,brether:o the talen- :
ts6 gentle man who has shown his devo-
tion to principles, by abandoning a party
that dare no. avow their princip 'es. R.
N. WickliAe. Esq is modestly inform-
ed in the Reporter that he has disap-
pointed hsrelaiions, and separated INN
self from them. On this point the Re-
porter is in error. We happened TO
know that a prominent relation of Mr..
Wickhtfe-e distinguished salesman
has also abandoned he'party without
principIes-and that other relations ,of
the same gen leman begin to doubt
wboiher they can. with honor, adhere
any longer to the Wing cause. Nor is
this a.. Our .relIow-citizens IN the
country are turning by scoresfrom Har>
rison. LOG cabins and 'hur'as for the
hard cider candidate do not satisfy re-
flecting men-men who value the right
ofsufirage. and cannut consent ,o,see it
spor,ed with or turned into ridrcule.
"0ther prominent men in Lexington.
besides Mr.. Wicklife, have recently
sbsndored the hard cider party: and the
position Of Harrison, 10 reference to Ab
oiition, a National Bank, and other sg-
italing questions. is such as TO render
Il impossible for him to be supported by
Republicans. Our ipresent Governor.
once the ardent and efficient advocate
Of popular rights, cannot help feeling
thai nendegrade themselves by sus-
iaihing msnTfortbe Office ofPresideut
who cannot hazard the consequences
Of avowing his opinions on the leading
questions on which the elections should
turn. Indeed understand his Ecel-
Iency declares that GeBeral Harrison
should come outlike man, on Aboli>
ton, on the bank question, onthe poli>
~ of distribution, on a bankrupt law,
&c; and we really think his Excelleney
is entirely right How can rationalmen
vote underssandingly for candidate
who has heretofore been on both sides
Of almost all impor,sn, questions, aud
cow refuses 10 avow his sentiments for
the information ofthe public. /
"The abuse of the Journal, and some
other klndred prints, Of The sensible g.
independent men who are hocklng TO
the Democratic banner. only proves the
desperation Of the political hacks Of the
Opposition. They have no recourse
left but to,rsyiie those who turn'a deaf
ear to hurras for had cider, and view
with contempt log cabia pagean,s."
