HARRISON.

In 1919, Gen. HARRISON,
then a memberof Congress,
voted against restricting
Missouri in her constitu-
uonai rights. He was one
Of three members from
non-slave holding states,
who voted in favor of Mis-
soun's com ing into the

ed all the efforts of the abo-
liGonists to deprive her of
the right to recognize sla-
very in her constitution
For this act of exalted self.
devotion, he was turned
out of office, thus saclific-
ing himself upon the altar
of southern rights.
In 1893,
Gen.Harrison, in a speech
delivered at Cheviot, Ohio ,
said:-
"1'he discussion of the
subject of emancipation in
the non-slaveholding states
is equally injurious to their
slaves and their masters,
and HAS NO SANCTION IN
THE PRINCIPLES OF THE
CONSTITUTION"
In 1895,
Gen. HarrisOR, in an adj
dress at Vmcennes, in
Weighed in the strongest
terms against the emanci.
pators, denouncing their
claims as "weak, presump-
tious and unconstitutiOn-
all" and implored the cii-
Zens of Indiana to frown
upon measures which
would " eradicate those
feelings of attachment and
affection between the citi-
Zens of all the States,
which was produced by a
community of interests and
dangers in the war of the
revolution. which was the
foundation of our happy
Union, and by a continu-
ance of which, it can alone
be preserved. In this ad-
dress he commended that
the people of the non slave
holding States were not
warranted by the constitu-
ton in holding meetings
and publishing speeches
against the domestic insti-
tutions of the south.
In 1885,
Gen. Harrison, in a letter
to Mr.. ThoS. Sloo, Jr., Of
this city, said:-
81 do not believe that
Congress can abolish sla- |
very in the states, or in any |
manner interfere with the |
property of the citizens in
their slaves, but on the ap-
plication of the states, in
which case, and in no 9th
er, they might appropriate
money to aid the states so
applying TO get rid of their
slaves. The opinions given
above are precisely those
which were entertained by |
Mr.. Jefferson and Mr.. |
Madison.
81 do not believe that |
Congress can abolish slave
ry in the District OF Column
