Jecton to Gen. Harrison, the Slavery question
The only Objectionable sentiment ever uttered BY
Gen. H. was that in relation TO the appropratio, =,
the surplus revenue to the purchase aud coouiznnn
OF the slaves, acih the consent ofhe .Statesin which
slavery is tolerated. Mr.. Mcdowell went ianbe,
he proposed to manumit them also but oitioul com.
! pensaon to their owners. Gen Harrison, oppou
may nave been Objectionable; but it wasat least
harmless it, for no other reason, because of isuru
ImpraciIcabllity. Mr.. Nc Dowelfs was ifobjeclion
able in the abstract, more because of the possbli
ty,by the invasion OF private right. of its execution
And yet, gentlemen who strain at Gen. Harrison AZ,
perfectly willing TO swallow Mr.. McDowel.-Thn
