before the Senate was to reduce the duty
on Salt, which was at that time 90 cents
on each bushel. Gen. Harrison voted to
redace it: Mr.. Van Buren, voted to keep
this high duty on salt. The bill did
not touch the fishing bounties at ALL Gen.
Harrison proposed to reduce the duty on
salt down to what it was when imposed in
conexion with the bounty, and made a
speech to that effect. He was always in
favor ofthe bounty, and we presume he is
yet.
