tf0nfata.

q The EaaGaclP0t0z, II is well known, is the
most ardent and faithful organ Of Abolition
It denounces General Harrison in the most un-
equivocal terms, as SUPPORTER OF sLAyERY.--

GENERAL. HARRIsoN because he sasstdins goav ias-
tegests and institutions
The EEmoncipator of January 9Th, states that
there is no use in inIerrogating General Harri
son, because his principles are known TO be In
favor of the sSJdve POaceT
He is the man of his party, (says the Eman-
cipalors) and that party have shown the absolute
Shareholder, peculiarly bfg0ted deC0tee Of slave-

from slave breeding Virginia for Speaker.
The Abolition organ, in further corroboraIion
of its statements, gives brief retrospect of Gen.
HarriSon's deeds. Here II is:
But we submit further, that General Harri-
sons principles are already we'll known by his
deeds, of whichwe find The following summary
in the Rochester Freeman:
In December, 1902, while Governor Of Indi-
ana Territory, he was President Of Conven-
tion of that territory, held at Vincennes, and
transmitted to Congress a memorial OF the con-
llvention, praying that The sixth article Of the
Ordinance of 49, which prohibited slavery
there, MIGHT BE SUSPENDED. (See American
State papers, l603) His efforts to make Indiana

In 1918, Feb. l6, General Harrison voted as
member ofshe House Of Representatives, against
clause prohibiting the further introduction OF

the future emancipation Of slaves born m Ar

So bassly did he bow to slavery, that even

| The National Inteligencer Of Oct 20, 1922,
says /" 1t is confirmed to us, that Mr.. Gazely is
elected in opposition TO General Harrison a
friend informs us, which we are sorry TO learn,
that he was opposed particularly on account Of
his adherence to that principle of the COnstitu-
lion, which secures % the people Of the South
their pre-existing rights IL seems then, that
General Harrison claimed for the South the
right to faSten slavery upon any soil which the
nation might have or purchase.
He has had but little opportunity to act in
public capacity upon the subject OF slavery since
that time; but an address from his political
friends in Virginia, in 1885, he says, he IS
sound to the core on the subject Of slavery.
1t is true General Harrison's personal demon-
strations are less recent than Mr.. Van Burens.
But they are much stronger, for MIR. Van Bu-

that in consideration OF all this humility andd de-
votion to slavery, the propitiated South might
