Before we conclude, Justice to Lieutenant Hooe re-

and which may lead 10 some m'sconcrption. u IS t'ere
stated, after rcciting the charges, 'On these charges
Lieutenant Iooc was fully convicted, with the qiali'
fcation that The beating of Calvin Morgan was not IN
n cruel and scandalous manner. Our meaning was,
that he was fully convicted Of intlIctinG punishment
"con,rary to the internal regulations OF the ship, and
in direct violation oftlIe third article oil the act Tor tue

;ARKsoN's LErrERs.-Below we give a letter from
Ii, Honorable Henry a. Wise, enclosing one rom Mr'
Nj James Lyons, of Richmond, Virginia, requesting US
to publish General Harrison's recent letter to the latter
gentleman on the subject Of Abolition.
Mr.. Lyons ought first TO satisfy us by what authority
he published it. The writer expressly said in that let
Ter: 81 do not irish rhm I hare said Hbore to be P"d-
iishsd;'' yet Mr.. Lyons has published II! lie has vlo-
lated the confidence Of General Harrison, and now
A. - midas a,rc tIo In make
the breach more complete! Ought he motto satisfy US,
when he asks us 10 publish the letter, that we shall not,
bv 50 doing, become his abettors in a dIshonoranle acl:
However, as General Harrison 'is not his own man,
has a committee at Cincinnati to decide for hum, ana
was lately led up to the battle. ground of Fort McigS,
contrary to his own wishes, we should not be particular
on that score, thinking, as Mr.. Lyons evidently does,
that the old General" is not competent to decide Tor nm
self in these matters.
The reason which Mr. Lyons gives for desiring the
publication Of Gen. Harrison's letter in the CLONE, CO.
yers more ground than has robably occurred 10 him.
That reason is, that although the General did say, 81
do not wish what | have said to be published, as al
ready stated in the Globe, he added, shut have no OBJ
lection that the facts should be stated and reference
made to me as having furnished them, which has not
been stated in the Globe.
Let us look at this thing:
Gen. Harrison writes a letter TO Mr.. Lyons, to be used
for the purpose of satisfylng the South that ne IS not an
AbnlItionist, in which he says: 81 do not wiSh rh"t !
hare said aGorc 10 BE- published bit lure no Objection
that tie factS ShOuid be stated and reference mdde 10 nc
as furnishing them"
lie had already written a letter to the Hon. George
Evans, to be used for the purpose of satisfying the peo'
Pile of the North that he is an AbohtlonIst, IN when ne
says, as stated by the Hon. W.. B. Calhoun, "do not al.
iop this letter to get into the newspapers, and what else:
Something like this: "But / hare no objection that The
facts should be suited and reference made 10 me as .tnr-
nishing them" That there was something like tins IN
the Generals letter to Mr.. Evans is evident, from the
fact that Mr.. Calhoun, in the letter written by HIM tor
'the private eye" fthc Aholitionists III hs district, dno
directly refer to General Harrison as furnishing The
facts-he said he had osecn letter from General Har-
rison, &c.
To the South, Gen. Harrison says, you may refer 10
me far certain taciS tending TO Shor that I am an
.4botitionist; Int you must not put my letter IN the ners-
pnPfrs,,
tain faris teadinr to Shor that l am Az .AJOtiHOnist;-
Int you must not PIT myieuer in HE newspapers.
To his fellow citizens who put The question to him
direct, care you an Abolitionist:" he replies. 81 mW
anslrer no such Undergraduates, coming from friend or
foe"
How disreputable in a candidate for the Presidency 1!
The newspapers travel from North to South, and from
South 10 Norlh-"kecp me ont Of them says he, "0r
thru riH crpose to the SoUh rhat ] 'rritc for the Worth,
and to The North uhUt / rritc for tie South Content
yourselves with referring to me IN conversation, or II
letters, written Oike Mr.. Calhoun,s) with express in
functions that they shall not be put in the newspapers.
Thus will | secure the votes of shareholders and Adolf
tionists, and when thus made President, DO AS ]
PLEASE" This is the exact position of the Wing
Federal candidate for the Presidency!
Now, Mr.. Lyons's reason for asking US TO publish
Gen. Harrison's letter to him, stillInore strongly re-
uuires the publication of his letter to Mr.. Evans. We,
therefore, make this proposition 10 MIR. Lyons, Mr..
Evans, the Federal Wing Executive Committee, or
whoever else has a right to control those matters, that,
on being furnished 9Th Gen. Harrison's letter 10 Mr..
Evans, arc ,eiH publish it, nth has letter to Mr.. Lyons, in
the same paper.
1t will then be seen, whether the chief of the hard
cider tribe does or does not talk to the North and the
South with ga forkcd tongue"
Nay, nc make this proposition TO Gen. Harrison him
self; and we intend TO send him this paper, which we
trust none of his committees or videttes will take the
liberty to intercept.
Will Gen. Harrison order the publication of both
letters We shall see.
There follow Mr.. Wise's note to the Globe, and Mr..
Lyons letter to Mr.. Wise, which is in substance pretty
much the same with what appeared in Fridays En-
