three years, and if good policy had prevailed,
we would by this time have looked down all
opposition.
Among the "peopIe" Of this State he,is at this
moment vastly more popular than any other
candidate; and the reasons for it lie deep In the
human heart.
Since the reverses in the West. and South. and
North, men have begun to think, aud thinking

| Gen. Harrison was nominated and is now the
Federal Abolition candidate for the Presidency
of the United States He was nominated for the
reasons contained in the above Circular He
was nominated, because the "ABOLITION-
ISTS' would go for him ...
Because the "ANTIMAsONs" would go
for him
Because the WESTERN SQUATTERS"
would go for him.
And because, the "AboluionistS," and the
"Anti- -MasOns," and the "Western Squotters," /"
would mot go for Mr.. Clay"
Having secured the nomination of Gen. Har-
rison, and the cooperation and support Of the
| Aboltionis,s and Anti, Masons, a new hope in
spired the Federal party-a fresh and vigorous
shout was raised. The Abolition papers all
over the nation, boldly and loudly proclaimed
that Gen Harrisons nomination was produced
by the frmntss and energy of the Abolitionists.
Some of these extracts from Abolition papers
have been already published. The Federalists
every where seem 10 be animated with the hope
Of success; but that hope is founded on the sup
port of the Abolitioniss. Wherever an Adolf
zionist is found, he is loud and warm in the sup
port of Harrison. There are some three hue
dred Abolitionists, it is said, in the county oil
Sangamon. every one Of whom is foF Harrison.
We call upon our felowcirizens in every neigh
borhood Of this county and State, to Gotlce the
course Of the Aboltions:s We defy them to
find one any where who is not for Harrison
men who boldly say they would sacrifice their
country and its proud and holy institutions. and
bathe its fields with the blood of their fellow -citi-
zens to, make thes Negro free, are the men who
boast of having made Harrison the Federal can,
didate for the Presidency; and the men who are
every where giving him their most Jealous sup
port.
The renewed hope and active exertions of the
leading Federalists, can ne attributed to nothing
else but their coalition with the Abolionsts.-
Upon every question of political principle. they
have lost ground in the last three years And
their course last fall towards Mr.. Clay, demon
strates this for he was the able champion of, all
their political principles. Clay is now thrus
aside; and under the dark bammer Of ABOLl
TI0NISM, the Federalists hope to conquer by
secrecy and intrigue. At this very moment. q
| secret and dangerous organization is going or
in every neighborhood of this State; and, it is
said in every State in the Union. In every pre-
