The Revolution OF Is4O-Geaeral Harrison's
Election 20 the Prcssdeney-HIs policy and
public. conduct. What VIII he dos

The mighty revolution of popular opinion, which
has brought the venerable patriot, General WM.
Z N HxnnrsoN, 10 the Presidency of the United
States, will be a memorable, era in the civil,
moral, and political history Of this great Re-
pablo, for ages yet to come. Nothing but
an intelligent independent, high-minaed people
could have SO risen in their might and without
any but moral weapons, quietly effected at the pal
lot box signal a change in opposition TO The men
In power Probably over 2ooe, 600 Of voters have
expressed their epiEions on this question and given
evidence how easy it is for free people TO change
their rulers and to alter the action OF their govern
ment, without resorting to physical force.
But while the whole country is rejoicing in this
happy change, let not lose sight of the change
itself-of the principles involved in the contest-of
the questions TINS settled by an appeal to the
moral sense ofthe nation. .-'
WHAT'S General Harrison to do? What policy
is he 20 pursued Is he to follow in the footsteps
OF General jackson, and become the head Of
party instead of being the high minded President
Of moral and intelligent people? Is he to act the
deses,able principle of ''fewarding his friends and
pauisapg his foes, his discarded predecessor has
done? Is he dictate to the Congress Of the nation
what measures are required for the good of the
country Is he to be the President of a faction,
the head of clique, instead Of the chief of
great and free people' Is he TO prescribe one half
Of the nation for opinions sake, Jackson
did, and thus proven, the free action of mind
sad rsason Ia he to WELD for himself alone the mo-
n-y power Of the Government, and to deny TO Con-
sress the of possessing control the public
Treasuryf In short, is he continue the unfortu-
nate, unenlightened party preudees created by JEFF
ferson and Adams, and not in preference adopt the
manly, Independent, patriotic policy efthe santed
Washington, and, by breaking down all party and
al fac; ion be the President Of an united and 4happy
people? insi'. af0r~ .if fsr7oi 80 o..
ii was at the close of the last century and tbs be-
ginning Of the present, that the unhappy party con-
tests in this country began Ia the coEfic: between
Jefferson and Adams, first was developed that hell:
ish spirit to which We all our treables, disasters
and revulsions. On the accession of Thomas Jeffer
son, this party spiritwas first organized by thar
ncrsb;e hypocrite In all morals and all religion, aad i'm
posed upon the country its democratic government
From, that time down 70 the prssent, with the ex-
ceptiou OF CLEAN Of light under James Monroe, this
ashappy country has been torn TO- pieces by the cor
rup' politicians Of cont ending parties
On the accession of General Jackson, there was q
hope that the paternAl policy of Washington would
; have been revived. He came into power, under
pledge TO recognize partyne faction, bnt TO act
for the whels people. He was no sooner seated in
the Presidency, than he was surrounded witha fac
hon Of low, selfish, base spirits, who, under the
drsctionef Martin Van Burea, revived with greater
power than ever, the odious oigarehy OF party spir
n, egctten and born by Thomas Jefferson. Mr. Van
Barren in moment of dciu,ire prosperity was elec.
ted President. bat instead OF understanding the
age in which be lived, he disiaguished lis admins
traiioa for nothing bat the miserable. narrow
policy, dictated by party spirit, and controlled by
mp rincipled politicians. To reward his fiends and
pusish his foes.o 'gve the spoiis to the visitors
was tine sole object and purpose Of his government.
For this subservieney to party, he has met his de-
serts-aud will have time, during his soioarn a,
Undertook, to reflect on HE eoaduet and 10 attend
20 his cabbage garden, at one AID the same time.
But the country has now reached an auspcious
age. GEsERAL NM. H. HARkiso,, one ofthe renown-
Cd patriots Of the last century, has been elevated to
the highest Office on earth, by the SURFACES Of an
