TION

The Editor Of the Richmond (Vrginia) Wing
thus justly and elegantly commend the recent
speech OF General Harrison, at Carthage, Ohio
an extract from which we published in our last.
1t is not less highly spoken of-nor should it be
by the republican presses in o,her sections Of
the Union. He is, as we announced him in orr
standing editorial head, in our first number, "the
true republican candtiate"-and will be 50 writ
ten Of in impartial history To young men, there
fore, just coming to the poll s. we would but add
a last sincere adjuration: Survey well the ground
before you take the political station which will be
indicated by your vote in November.
From the Wig, September 8.
at is with the most unaffected satisfaction that
we call the attention of Virginia 10 speech Of
Gen. Harrison, delivered at Carthage in Ohio,
August Goth, and which is found ia our columns
to-day. We pronounce this speech not merely q
mastery production as a composition, connected
series of thought, elegantly and ucidIy arranged
and powerfully developed and expressed, but as
worthy in much higher point of estimation, to
command the attention and admiration of the
country. Il. is the most condensed and faithful
epitome Of the States Rights doctrines which we
have ever seen, and in few words, gives the most
lucid exposition OF our complicated firm Of Gov
eminent which in our belief any man has given.
And this is the man whom the caitiis who min.
lister to the passions and interests of our Rulers,
denounce as ''black cockade Federalism This
is the man, displaying this vgor of intellect, this
clearness OF perception and discrimination, this
depth Of reflection, this wide horizon Of knowi.
edge, whom the reptiles who crawl in the slime
oil Executive patronage, presume to stlgmaLlse as
an imbecile and a granny! This is the man,
worthy in intellect ana in deeds, to class with the
race Of TO, when every pot house politician, and
divers born subjects of King George-born since
General Harrison licked their master at the
Thames and even 'ew Of the born sub jects OIL
his serene ma esly the KIM Of Portugal.
sumo TO denounce in the most oppyo5rous phrases
Shall we learn from these foreigners how to De.
Rave ourselves, and estimate the Heroes, Patriots
and Benelactors Of our country?
We appeal to the old and tried and noble split
Of Virginia. Let US adhere to this man, ouI
brother born On our SOIL the Son Of Siguer o
the Declaration OF independence, who thinks as
we do and feels as we do on all matters who has
served the county in all capacities, tanning the
British Lion and muzzing the Indian War,dog,
who is bone Of our bone and flesh Of our flesh.
Let US sustain him against all dictaGon and de
nunciation, whether from, LirSh and Portuguese,
who slavee at home, have come here to teach US
ho,o to keep free, or from the mercenaries Of the
Federal Government, who earn their bread by
abuse of the va!or. worth aad emnence Of the
land.
Liberty, State Rights, Reform and Harrison
forever! This Speech Of Harrison at Carthage,
will inluse new life and vigor into his Virginia,
North Carolina and Georgia friends. Now we
all do know that in him we shall find an un
AjnchnS friend Of the Rights o. the STATES. His
Carthage Speech is worth $1,000 votes to Gencr
al Harrison in Virginia
