T1.L,or in order to aid General Harrison in his
,.ot;on and to correct a falsehood which he says
IA been circulated, among other things makes the
following remarks "
rua TGeneral Harrison has now been selected
s.b[ the general voice of those 1ohoSe political
nyinciples agree a0ih has oa1n. to go 10 the head
q pfthe column, and to bear up and adIrance the
q fr under 1rhich 1t is hoped those principles may
NJ abta S1nintained and defended"
have now shown you that General Harrison
.s Federaists in 1898, in 1926. in 1888, and, if
Mr. webster is authority, in 1910. But the COM
rni,tee who have charge of General Harrison and
ii. oninions confirm the same thing, in the follow
ing language:
"The Generals views in regard to all the i'm
q nortant and exciting questions OF the day have
heretofore been given to the public, fully and eX-
L" pIicty and that those views, whether connect
ed with constitutional other questions of very
(" great interest have undergone no change"
Mr. CoLoUTTT then quotes the Resolutions OF
Mr.. Tappan, the Democratic Member from Ohio
and his remarks as follows:
"Ob1o will do unto others as she claims that they
should do 10 her. AS she will not permit any inter-
ference with her own institutions, so she will not
onit her servants to interfere with the institutions
6f other States. know her will upon this matter;
II is clear and unequvocal. Resolutions of her
assembly have repeatedly declared her sentiments
upon the subiectmatter OF these petltlons and her
decided opinion that the attempt making by these
netitioners is hostile to the spirit of the Constitution
and destructive of the harmony of the union;" and
a recent more numerous assemblage of Democratic
delegates in state convention than has ever before
met in that State, with but three dissenting voices,
adopted the following resolutions:
ResoIred That, i'll the opinion of this convention
Congress, ought not, without the consent of the
people of the District, and of the States OF Virginia
and Maryland, to abolish slavery in the District OF
Columbia and that the efforts making for that
purpose by organized societies in the free States,
are hostile to the spirit of the Constitution, an
destructive to the harmony of the Union.
"ResoLued That, slavery being domestic instl-
tuition recognised by the Constitution OF the Onted
States. We as citizens of free State, have no
right to interfere with it, and that the organizing OF
societies and associations in free States, IN oPPosl-
ton to the institutions OF sister States, while pro-
ductive of no good, may he the cause OF much mis-
chief and while such associations for political pur-
noses ouoht 10 be dscountenanced by every lover
of peace and concord, no sound Democrat will have
part or lot with them.
g ResoIued That political Abolitionism is but
ancient Federalism under new gulse, and that the
polcal action of anti-slavery societies is only de-
Vice for the overthrow Of Democracy"
know, sir, that these resolutions express the de-
lberafe judgment of the Democracy of Ohio, as to
the sentiments ofthe opponents Of the Democratic
pauy, the Harrisonians know less; Their con-
duct is open to observation. By that, it is well
known that they hold in their fraternal embrace the
entire abolition part of the population of Ohio.
"Mr. C.. saws These facts have occurred during
the present session of Congress, and yet very
many southern members smut their eyes to these
startling truths, and glad at heart that the
northern Democrats will lose strength in their
respective districts for giuing as their aid. Much
pains have been taken to throw poppies over the
eyes of the South by attempting to prove that Gen.
Harrison himself is not an Abolitionist. But Of
fetal letters and speeches pTore this that he IS
opposed to slavery and desires 1t abolished. AS
am writing for your candid consideration an un-
Vanished tale will call your attention to his Cir
cuar which he published for the purpose of satisfy
ing the dispeasure of the Aboltionists:"
Mr.. G. then quotes the abundant proofs already
laid before the public regard to HdriSonS views
on abolition; and his having satisfied the friends OF
National Bank, so as to~ensure their support. He
then adverts to the soundness of Mr.. VAN BrREN's
views on all these topics, and declares that honor
and consistency compel him to oppose Harrison
and support Mr.. VAN buren,. The address is wor-
thy of the fine talents of the author and does credit
TO his patriotism and discernment.
