When William Henry Harrison, the hero
OF a thousand battles, and whose fame in
military exploits, ior their ,brilliancy, bra
very and tact, transcendelh ali human con.
ceptiCn, was nominated as candidate for
the presidency, every abolition paper step
ped forth with loud congratulations, Of JOY,
that in the south, slavery had at length re-
celved It's death blow, and SHE 6ealening
shouts of thousand Voices" prominent
and bold, were ringing the hallelujahs Of
this triumph of abollonism over the )eo-
pie of the south. But the wings say, that
the thing is now changed, and they are
now endeavoring to deceive the people
with the idea thai the abolitionist are no"
opposed to Harrison Cor the presidency; if
this change has IN fact taken place, we
should be pleased to know upon what
grounds il is based every body knows
that Harrison has given no opinion on the
subject of slavery, since his nomination,
and that his recorded opinion in favor OF
taxing the people of the south, to raise
money for purchasing and freeing their
own slaves, have never been revoked or
contradicted. What then, we ask, has eff
tected The change and arrayed tie aboli-
tioniss against Harrison?
1t is no difficult matter to see into this
scheme of the wings, for working Harri.
son into the presidency. The abolition
papers of the north, discovered that, by
the open and bold manner in which they
came out in support of Harrison, they
were pursuading course calculated to
defeat their own wishes, as such course
would tend to unite the people of the slave
holding states most powerfully against him,
and thereby defeat his election; in order
therefore to lull deceive and gull the peo
pie of the south, and to supply the southern
wings with some sham pretexts, whereby
they may be ALE to ward off the force Of
public opinion, against the disgusting
principles OF this mar, they affect now to
be opposed to Harrison, and are sending
their inf1amatory papers and pamphlets to
the wings all through the soulh--to be
read by them a, public meetings, as evi.
dence of that opposition. Neverw was such
ii black and cor-scheme attempted to be
played off upon the south, for deceiving the
people and leading them Oh blndfoIded, as
it were, to their own destruction.
The abolilionists are secretly in favor
Of Harrison, and are doing every thing in
the north thew possibly can, 10 insure his
success, while they are pretending to op.
pose him openly, for southern effect.
The wings are now in possession OF
these incendiary papers and pamphlets
throughout in different parts of the south,
and reading them to the people; how do
these papers get here? how come they
now, all of sudden, scattered through
the country, and in the hands of almost cv-
cry whig orator, who is able to mount a
stump? Is not this abolition in its trues,
sense? Are they not receiving and scat
tering these frebrands about in the very
bosoms of our people, which must produce
the very essence ofabolitionism itself?
Such are the first fruits drumming an alb
clifton candidate for the presidency; what
it may end in, God only knows. We tell
the people, that in this contest, an awful
responsibility rests upon them.-They
now have it 10 their power to ward off one
of the most fearful blows ever aimed at
their interest, or ever meoiated against |
their safety-will they ward that blow,
or will they add strength to its force and
danger?-Gredt Western.
MYSTERIOUS.
