FOR THE PILOT.
GENERAL HARRISOBs--MR. VAN
BUREN,.

1t has beenas where are the-evidences of Gen.
Ha,risonsf fitness, for highcivil government to be
found This question can bse easily answered,
as will appear by the following array of facts.
LIN his appointments to office by Presidents
Washington, the elder Adams, Jefferson, Madi-
son, and John Quincy Adams.
Pin he consummate skill, Judgment, and
statesmaDlike manner, witff.which he acquitted
himself as governor of the north western terrific
spective situations, he not only won the respect
and confidence of the general and state goaern-
ments, but secured to hi,aself the Affections OF
the people of the great West, who, by their
votes, in November, next, intend to manifest
their gratitude, by giving him overwhelming
maorities, from the Ohis to the Mississippi,
AS governor of the north western territory,
millions and tens of millions of the public money
passed through his hands, and had hedone as
many other government officers have suisse
qnently done ,he migll have retired fpem,the adj
ministration of that government, witaia. prineels

the more honorable course, of praserving his
1ands Clean gong INTO retlTeHeh1Wltn ciear
conscience and an honest heart. For his dissn-
terest PATRIOTISM, the people loye him, and for
his sterling, mporruptible integrity, every honest
heart mast ad6aire him.
BY the. distinguished paxh he took, in the
debates of Congress, while a member of the
House of Representatives, and as Senator. In
every important debate which took place while
he enjoyed seat in Congress, the voice of HIM.
Henry Harrison, was elequently heard, attract
ing the attention of his brethren, by the classic
purity and aptitude Of his illusions, the cogency
of bis arguments, and the charged and statesman
like views which he took Of the subject matters
under debate.
4.-By the antiring exertions which he used to
advance the interests, promote the welfare, and
secure the happiness of the early settlers Of the
West.
These are few of the evidences of his fitness,
and in my turn, ] would ask,-Where shall we
look for evidences Of MIR. Van Buren's fitness
Shall we look to his career as a member Of
the Senate of New York, and az such, member
of the Superior Court of that State? II we look
there, we find him busy only in promoting such
objects as were connected with his own advance
ment- Mining and counterming checking and
counter-eheking, those whom he thought stood
politically in his way. To-day, coaleseing with

COURT or INQUIRY.

This coult met pursuant to adjournment, anu
continued its sitting til nearly three o'clock, p
NJ, at which hour it again adjourned to meet this
morning at 8 o'clock, at room No. 1903, Barnum's
hotel.
AS we omitted, ON Saturday, to mention the
names of all the members of the board of Inquiry,
we publish them this morning.
Brig. Gen. Wool, President.
Major Andrews.
Col Garland, Recorder
Counsel for the accused, Gen. VIM. Fl. Mar
riot and VIM L. Marshall, Esq. We were misin-
formed inrespect to Mr. Maulsby's reIation to the
court, when we stated that he was Judge Advocate.
He is simply counsel to the committee to which
we, on Saturday, alluded; and we presume he is
permitted to propose interrogatories to the wit
nesses, through the courtesy of the court.
Major Lendrum, whose official conduct Is now
under investigation, has been charged, as we
stated in our last, by committee of Van Buren,
men of this city, with having used the influence
of his Office as Quarter Master to the Army, to
the injury of the present administrations and
they requested the President to remove him from
this station.
large number of witnesses were examined on
Saturday morning, among whom were MIR. G. B.
Wilson, MIR. Robert CARAT, MIR. John Barney,
Mr.. Hooper, MIR. Jno. w. Brown, and many
other gentlemen, in regard to the purchase of
bread, bacon, Sc, for the sustenance of the Army
Florida; also in respect to the shipment of the
same to some of the ports in that territory.
As the charge originated in party spirit, and as
Major Lendrum's removal was urged on the
ground of partizan partially in his purchases
and employment of vessels, it is not out of place
to say that the testimony on Saturday morning,
of both political parties, concurrcd in proving
that they never knew political matters to inter
fere with his official duties, and that they regarded
Major L. as remarkably watchful of the inter
ests of the government in his transactions on
account of the Army

no accessions to the ranks of the Wings. In or
der to convince those who are open TO conviction,
and who are not to be blinded and deceived by
the sophistry and falsehoods of hreling Partisans,
we have compiled some Of the many cases which
have recently occurred, where men of respecta-
bility and influence, have publicly come out in
support of Harrison and Tyler, who had pre-
viousiy either stood aloof from all parties, or had
been warm supporters of MIR. Van Buren,. In
deed, such instances have become so common,
that some of the Western papers keep the word,

AS the Loco Foco papers take so much
pains to spread abroad the FALSEHOOD
that Gen. Harrison is an Abolitionist
I'VE deem it our duty, as well as the
duty of the Wing press generally, to meet
#slanderers with a few FACTS, in regard
to their own candidate, Mr.. Van Buren,.
they are most clear that, as politician,
he has identified himself with the ABB.
OLlTIONISTS!
+ The following FACTS are compiled
from public records, and cannot, with
truth, be contradicted or disproved:
t Mr. Van Buren, was urged upon the
abolitionists in 1886, on the especial
ground that he was in favor Of their prin-
ciples. To prove this, the public docu-
ments were appealed to which show that
In 1920, Mr. Van Buren, voted that
Congress had the constitutional power to
abolish slavery in the Territories, and
instructed the New York Senators in Con-
gress to vote against the admission OF
Missouri into the Union.
In 1885, he said that Congress has the
constitutional power to abolish slavery in
the District of Columbia.
In 1921, he voted to give free blacks
the right Of suffrage!
In 1922, he voted in favor ofrestricting
the introduction Of slaves into Florida.
We shall keep this short statement stan.
ding a few weeks, till the Loco Focos have
had ample time to read and digest it.
