| ii there be any other matters of public
policy. which General Harrison's opinions
are not known, we will thank d
devoted to the Administration to designate
them.
The folly, as well as the falsehood of the
charge, that General Harrison is in the
keeping ola Committee, who will not suf,
fer him to answer the letters of enquiry adj
dressed to him, is abundantly established
by the simple fact. that upon all the political
questions no,c agitating the public mind of
this Country, his opinions hare been openly
oppressed and ,cidely circulated.
General Harrison has no CONFIDENTIAL
COMMITTEE" needs none. .Overwhelm-
ed with letters from political friends and
opponents from all quarters ofthe Union,
calling for his opinions on the foregoing
subjects, or asking for the documents con-
tanning those opinions, Gen. Harrison, at
the suggestion of several of his friends,
handed oyer to member ofthe Harrison
Corresponding Committee of Hamilton
County, few ofthe many letters he was
daily receiving, Nth a request that the
Committee would procure and forscord the
letters, speeches, or other documents called
for 6y has Correspondents. This we affirm
to be the sum and substance of General
Harrison's connection with this Committee
Notwithstanding the indefinite terms ia
which some Of the replies of that body
are couched, and Notwithstanding the cal
umnies OF Senator Grundy, etc.
We take this occasion to say that General
Ha'rison's mind is now as active, his
Judgements sound, his pen as rigorous, as
at any period Of his life. As to his ply
steal condition, the thousands that SO fte-
quenily meet with General Harrison, eth
er on his farm or i'll this city, will testify for
US that his constitution remains unbroken,
and that he is in the enjoyment of green
old age. And for the truth ofour assertion
which is deliberately made under circum-
stances of close and accurate observation.
we boldly appeal to the hundreds of his
friends and fellow-cilizens, who are in daily
intercourse with him, either in the social
circle or the transaction of business.
We viii thank our Editorial brethren
throughout the Union, to give currency TO
this article in their respective papers, and as
far as we are personally known to them, to
tell their readers whether our statements in
regard to "General Harrison and his opin.
ions" are entitled to credence.
