Upon giving place 70 The proeeeding
or the Demoerssie meeting held In his
place Last week. ws have M desire %
make any remarks. except - 70 The Oh.
iscsions raised against the election Il
Gen. Harrison. In relation 10 these Ne
feel constrained 20 say few words.
The FIRST objection We consider per.
fecsly neulraIixed BY The conclusion. By
Thai IL 10 shown that Gen. Harrison %
unwilling 10 do any hing 10 relation %
The queslioa Of slavery. unless d can DO
done . with the consent Of the states
holding The slsves." In common viii
Thomas jefferson. and many other tmL
neas gentlemen Of The South, he eonsi-
dered slavery an evil. and vas vilIinz 70
use all eonsfifafionaf and ieg al msms %
reduce II; but his vote On The Missouri
question, and other occasions In which
the peculiar interests o. he soush were
deeply involved. are guarantees. 70 -
thai these rights wiIl always be duly re.
speeled by him. In the cases here re-
fened 10. bis acts strongly contrast With
the opposiss course Of mr. Van Barren.
Mr.. Van BURNS votes on all shese ocea-
sions were against The south; Cen. Hsr-
rison voted with the South. Bus Gen.
Hsrrison has gone farther; he has on g:
scrsl occasions strongly rebuksd the wlA
fsnssicism Of the AboIisionisss. In bis
speech at vincennes, he pronounced
sheif measures 70 ~ "wcsxs prrss~p-
tneus and unconstitutional" and in. 4
speech delivered on he <th of July, 1888,
he spoke IN ssilI stronger language.
The schemes OF the Aboliiicnisss, !" said
he, "srs frsushs with horrors upon which
an inearnaie devil alone could look with
appreciation" These expressions we're
made openly. among The people Of non.
slaveholding states. Has Mr.. Van Bu.
zen ever thus openly expressed bis dis
appreciation ofthe movements Of The Abo-
iii'onisisi Gen. Harrison denies Tho
power Of Congress 10 abolish slavery Ia
The district or Columbia, exceps with Tho
consent u the states Of Maryland and
virginia. and Of The people OF The district
y % therefore fair 70 presume that he
would veto any Law conflicting with This
opinin. Mr.. Van Buren, acknowledges
The absolute power OF Congress- 10 this
particular. bur considers ms exercise 10
DC inexpediens a. The present lime, and
mas pledged himself !. 10 veto bill for
ne abolition OF slavery In he district Of
Columbia" Comparing these views.
IN connexioa with che acfs Of The two in.
dividuals. il would seem, ifshere be any
difference, that The interests OF The South
can with The mos, safety be placed in The
keeping Of Gen. Harrison.
vi The second objection we know no.
thing; ibis 10 the firs. lime that we ever
heard thar Gen. Harrison took any part
IN " planting The anti. masonic standard"
The third objection has long been
known 70 be an exploded falsehood.
Ten. Harrison was in favor Of q mode.
Ia'e tariff; bui so was Gen Jackson; and
we. Van buren, went as Car as either Of
mem, Tor he voted for The highes. tariff
yer imposed In this country. Bu. tho
IMPRESSION OF Gen. Harrison has been
DAILY perverted. II was said by Mr..

al addrs1s, TIA. The effect OF The tariff
