r,prurp ppo0F OF GEN. HARRISON'S FEDERALISM.
Whether General Harrison did or did not ever hazard
an nnouolied denial of his Federal principles, before
the tenth inst, at Fort Meigs, we have not been IN
formed His friends have been i'll the constant prac-
t;ca of dcnvinp il for him in all parts of the country,
and thai in the face of his own iiirmatv declaration
On The 1oor of Congress, as well as much other corrobo-
rat;ve testimony in the shape OF speeches, votes, decla.
rat;ons. associations, &c, &c. But on the occasion OF
the Fort Ncics celebration, he took particular care to
br;nr IN that subject. 81 have been called a Federal.
ist ; said the General. 81 was brought up after the
str,ctest manner ofVirginia Anti Federalism. ST. Paul
himself never was greater devotee 10 tie doctrines OF
the Pharisees, than was, by inclination and u father 5
precepts and example, to Anti Federalism
Since General Harrison has denied his former ad-
missions on the subject, and put his denial on record
before the people, there can be nothing unfair IN pro-
ducinr testimony to prove that what he said in earlier
ne, ,Gs true, and that what he now says IS not true.
For this purpose we give the following affidavit OF Ro-
BERT Price, Esq, ofOhlo, a highly respectable citizen OF
Trumbull county, formerly a Judge ofthe county court
and a man extensively known through the State. The
following is the affidavit:
Erie County ss.-Before me, Frederick 2. Stevens,
one of the Judges of the court of common pleas OF the
comfy of Erie, personally appeared Robert Price, who,
being duly qualified, saith, that he was personally ac-
ouain,cd with VIM. Henry Harrison, the present Wing
candidate for the office Of President OF the United
States, at the time of the great political excitement
when the Federal party wore the black cockade as a
badge of dis,inction-Tha he frequently saw him and
heard him converse on political matters at that time,
and that he knows him to have been u member Of the
Federal party at that timc-iIAS FREQUENT
LY SEEN HIM WEAR THE BLACK COCK.
ABE BADGE OF FEDERALISM ATTACH
ED TO HIS HAT-aud that he distinctly remem-
bers hearing him observe, in an argument in favor OF
the Sedition Law, in presence of Charles Pemberton
and others, that he he thought il was proper for the
President, the heads Of the departments and members
of Congress, TO HAVE a SHIELD THROWN
AROUND THEM, THAT THEY SHOULD NOT
BE IN THE MOUTH OF EVERY BLACKBOARD
WALKED THE STREE And further The
dcponcnt saith not. ROBERT PRICE.
Affirmed TO and subscribed before me this Goth day OF
June, in the year of our Lord 1870.

"Tnese two important points are considered by our
friends here As OF the utmost consequence. Because.
first, Gen. Harrison has Oc2n charged with Joining an
Abolition society as late a ISIS, Gnd he has nat Gsni,l
