give this extract from private letter, that you
may see and understand the game now playing BY the
supporters of Harrison at The North
Before closing this matter allow me to aliude 10 an
other charge against Mr.. Van Buren, heard not
only my opponent declare, but others have urged the
same thinr-should bill be passed by Congress, ad-
hitting Florida INTO the Union, the President would veto
it, ! did not feel myself al liberty to call on Mr. Van
Buren, to say what he would do during the session of
Congress, when such bill was actually pending before
that body But have since, through friend mem
Der of the Cabinet had the question pTopoundcd 10
him, requesting, in reply, simply categorical answer
Here is my question, and here IS his answer
"Should Congress pass bill for the admission of Flo
rida as State INTO the Union, without any restriction
in regard TO saycry-would such bill be approved
by you
Thus is Mr. Van Buren, committed to the South IN
every form in which this delicate and important mat
Ter present itself.
He is pledged to veto any bill which Congress
may pass abolishng slavery in the District OF Coiuni-
bia or with lis interference in the States.
= He is pledged 10 veto any bill appropriatrng the
surul"s ravenu. emancipation as beng unconsll'
tutIona
3 He il pledged, and in that his Northern friends
ro with HIM. 10 approve any bill, without Inc sesrc'
ton Of slavery, Tor the admission OF Florida as 4
State.
With such an open, direct and positive course on his
part and such an cquivoca and unsatisfactory one on
the part of Gen Harrison, can the South hesitate De.
tween them.
