Extract from a letter dated Cairo. Illinois,
(mouiI of the Ohio,) Now, 1889:
have been waiting here at this Twill be
''queen Of Cities" with a host of travellers
Tor iran,hipmsnt to various parts Of the
country,
UslasS yna.ar. nilacanainiad with the
geographical position Of CAIRO. you will not
uai-T,tand that here tire waters of the Ohio
unite with the Mississippi, and that this place
is accessible, at all seasons of the y.ur, for
the largest class of steamboats,, and even
ships. Smaller boats are here taken for the
Upper Mississippi and the Ohio, and for the
tributary streams of these two great high
WAYS.
This place, with the aid Of English capt.
tai, is now rapidly progressing with its i'm
provenents. Already, saw-mills, foundries,
machine and workshops, dwellings aud stores.
of various descriptions. give Iliic ttIpn Of
the nucleus Of a great and prosperous CITY.
Certainly there is no position IN the whole
West where the mechlnic arts can be car
ried on with more success-especiaily the
manufacture OF iron, ship and steamboat
building, and every branch of business con-
nected with iron work. The Tennessee riv
er supplies the pig metal at SO per cent. less
than it can be sent TO Pittsburgh, and bittu-
minous coal. equal to any in the country, is
to be had within a days distance. The pos
of these two important staple articles,
with the finest timber in the greatest abund
ance, cannot fail to make Cairo the manufac-
turing as well as the commercial emporium
of western America.
Among the thousand travellers detained
here at this time, there's but one opinion ex
pressed, that "ths liberal and extensive plans
Of operation adopted by the company being
carried out, will, in ten years, give a popu-
|ation to the place equal to any in the West;
that in time it can have no rival, either in
commerce or manufacturer"

We have been led to make these remarks,
from seeing an attempt, in some Of our ex-
change papers 10 identity Gen. Harrison
with the Abolitionists of the North: 1t is
abou. as reasonable, aud as, worthy of res,
pect. as a similar attempt against Mr.. Clay
and Mr.. Van Blren-each Of whom have
in turn been charged by a. few mad house
politicians, with being abolitionists. 4-.a,
By what evidence is this charge against
General Hlrrison sustained?-We mean
to do Justice to those who make the accuse
ton, when we say, that il rests upon this
tha. The organ Of Abalitionism eyulted over
I'll. selection Of Gen. II. in preference to
Mr.. Clay in the Harrisburg Convention, and
hit the non-slaveholding states generally vo
ted for tbs former. This IS the Sum and SIb-
s.aac. --:s. sy<drhre a aiaI the old Hero.
Now what \ mss of testimony is there, that
IN the subject of slavery he is sound 10 the
core. First, he was born and raised in a
slaveholiing state. that is some thing. As
Governor of the N. w. Territory. he petit
toned Congress 10 repeal the ordinance pro.
hibiting slavery in the territory. He was
defeated rs a candidate for Congress on the
ground that he voted against imposing res
~trictions on the admission OF Missouri into
the Union-and again in 1885, If We mistake
moi. he denounced these ince1dilries in the
mos, unqualified terms, in a speech a, Vim
%cennes, Ia.,-and last though not least, ii is
not his interest TO favor Abolition, because

son. On many ofthe important questions that
a-iiate the public mind. he entertains views
that are far from meeting with oar approba-
ton. But rs a distinguished soldier in the
late war, and as Govern)r OF iha North West,
he deserves well Of his country. His fam.
