when he went into thr Democratic meeting, which was in session
ia Goochland Courthouse, Al July Court, was descaatine on The
law which General Hauisnn's opponents say he voted for, which
had for It's object the 'Sclling of poor white men for debt" This
IS a mistake. spoke OF no such law. heard of no allusion 10
such an one. | did say, however, that n Harrison Democrat wa.
= man who advocated the claims OF n Statesman for the highest
office in the gin uf n free people, whose Democracy led him Ia
sanction a law authorizing and requiring the sale If poor " hr
men, o; any persons, into bondage aud de grading slavery for the
payment "f a fine or cost, or both, in which they might be mulctrd
on conviction Of any crime or penal law. When the offensive
language was used, was not guilty of the precipitation which any
one would infer from the account given of the occurrence in the
Wing. inquired Of 4 gentleman near me, whether or not pro-
perly understood the language of Nr. Peasants. then called on
him for an explanation. lie said he did not hear this call. AZ
forwards he used language which thought no one could misun
derstaHd. II was then, and not Till then, that exhibited ''pug

They do not believe in the justice of beng sold ont as

few Van Buren, men here now, and some of them DIS

basest falschoods ever saw or heard of. This county
is sire wed with Van Buren, men, and we all glory III

account of the rise into notice of the late Governor Jen-
ninrs of Indiana, who had been chosen a Delegate to
Congress in opposition to n protegn OF General Ha'f',

to the fact Of his having been a Democratic boy in Penn

that ii at first all were Fcderallsts in the Territory, be-
