GEN. HARRIsON's PRINCIPLES.

The more they are known, or studied, the
better are they liked. The great mother Of
injustice to the Hero of the North west, is
ignorance. If there is majority of honora-
BILE men in the country, who would not know
ingly do Gen. Harrison injustice, let them
acquaint themselves with facts, vote accord
ingly, and he will be elected.
The letter TO ,Sherrod Williams, which we
publish to-day, will receive the appreciation of
Democratic Republicans, if there be any
truth in their professions. In that letter Gen.
Harrison reviews all the prominent questions
Of the day, and its doctrines are now, at this
moment, practically and generally maintained
by the American People. Upon the subjects
of distribution of surpluses, public lands, in
ternal improvements, National Bank veto
power, sc. &c the author dscourses with all
the fulness, frankness, and simplicity of a
gallant soldier and an honest man.
We must confess that we have, ourself,
been hitherto, ignorant Of Gen. Harris on
A little examination has satisfied us that he
has never had justice done him. He has not
only fought more successful battles, but he
has written more sound Republican senti-
ments, perhaps, than any man now living.
And for Ioftiness Of views and eloquence of
expression, there is nothing in American Di-
plomacy surprising his immortal letter to
Bolivar

THE HOMAGE OF JUSTICE.

We have compiled, from various sources
the following disinterested testimonials, which
were commanded from their several authors
by the lofty patriotism, valor, talents and sue
cess of Gen. HARRISON, long before he was
named for the Presidency, and in times which
ought to give them weight sufficient to bear
down all the petty calumnies and quibbling
objections which party malignity may now
presume to forge against the war-worn and
time -honored patriot and soldier.
The authorities we present against the
puny attacks of Loco Foco Federalism, and
which we shall stereotype as an mpregnable
barricade against all opposition, are no less
than the CONGRESS- OF THE UNITED STATES,
the LEGISLATURES OF INDIANA, and of KEN

ilustrious catalogue even THOMAS RlTcHIE
HIMSELF
We begin with the testimony Of Colonel
RICHARD VI. JOHNSON, now Vice President
of the United States.
Col Johnson said, lin Congress)-
Who is Gen Harrison7 The son of one of the
sisners Of the Declaration of independence, who
spent the greater part ofhs large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave OF his fortune life and
sacred honor TO ,ecuTe the liberties of his country
"Of the career Of Gen. Harrison need not speak
the history Of the West, is his history For f,rtv
years he has been identified with its interests lis ne
rils and lis hopes. Universally beloved in the walks
G peace and distinguished by his ability in the cJun
ellis Of his country, he has been yei more iusriousIy
distinguished in he field.
During the late war, he was longer in active
service than any other General officer he was per-
hapS otener in action than any one OF Them, and ne
yer sustained defeat"
JAMES MADISON, in special message to
Congress, Dec. IS, 1871 said,
While il is deeply lamented that so many valuable
lives have been lost in the action which took place
the 7ih ultimo, Congress will see with satisfaction
the dauntless spirit of forttude vctorousy display

The Chair presented several reports from the
State and Treasury Departments; also memorial

tive TO a steam machine OF his own Invention.
Various petitions we're offered and referred % 'neI
appropriate Committees, by Messrs Piefce, noane'
Calhoun, Williams Tappan, Merrick, ana Preston.
A slight discussion arose from the reading oi re-
monstrance written by delegate OF the ieritofy Oh
Iowa in relation to the conduct OF Mr. Linn, In urg-
ing the claims OF Missouri when that Territory was
mol properly represented.
MIR. WALKER presented the memorial of GER
tain citizens OF ST. Augustine, in Florida, praying
Congress 10 make division OF that Territory.
That Senator observed that large portion OF the
citizens OF Florida were in favor Of division,
since the Territory was already larger than any
two States in the Union, that the interests OF The
Territory were In manner divided and upon me
whole itmight be Of some benefit to the inhabitants
Of that country to have division, he therefore
moved that the memorial be referred 10 seiect
committee of 5, and also be printed
Mr.. CALHOUN moved that II be laid upon the
table, as it involved serious consequences, and re-
quired deep consideration, which motion was agreed
upon by Mr.. Walker, provided Mr.. Calhoun would
call il up al some future day.
Several resolutions were also adopted, The chiei OF
which was that the Committee on the Judiciary en-
quire into the expediency OF abolishing ImPrison-
ment for debt in the courts of the United States.
The bill tor the armed occupation OF FLORIDA, was
then taken up. and discussed at some length oy the
Senator from North Carolina, Mr.. Strange.
The Senate then went into Executive business,
and soon after adjourned.
