extort a principlc-an opinion-or pledge from hun; but
no sooner does he trust himself abroad, than his dIscre-
ton leaves him.
Our readers will see, in the following letter from a
man OF high character IN Ohio, how readily Gen. liar.
rison will run into pubiic piedgcS, which he IS pledged
not to rive, when there is none of his committee at
hand 10 warn him that what may find favor with those
around him, will lose him friends elsewhere. In
the northern part OF Ohio, the pledge not 10 veto
any bill passed by Congress during his term OF ser
vice, had doubtless the effect 10 make HIM friends
among The Abolitionists in that rcglon. The bare tact
that he had not declared, like MIR. Van Buren,, a deter
mirat,on 10 veto an Abolition bill, even for the District
of Columbia. is used BIZ Mr. Slade in his printed speech

So, to ingratiate himself with the new sect starting mp

he cared not for the opinions of those who had come
over the sea to our shores; and lastly, percciving an
Office holder at hand, lie gave an assurance to coiici!'ate

ssDear Sir:-l informed you yesterday that Harrison

the State, and closed my letter tor the purpose Of us
tenIur to the speech, which he then commenced from
the piazza of the American House, 10 the people as
scmbied in the street. He spoke for nearly two hours,
and il is impossible for me To give you an outline OF the
whole speech, as it was extremely I]ncohcrent and DIS
connected, Harrison assigning, as the cause, The sea
sickness which he had endured on ms recent voyage
down the Lake.
"Whlc in the progress Of his remarks, lie said, that
If he was elected as President, he would be governed
by the will of the people, as expressed By both llonses
Of Congress. Upon this remark, your friend, &. klr-
kun, of Portage, who was standing III the crowd, Ioud.
" exclaimed, there is the man, pointing TO liarr'song
swho is accused of making no pledges. Harrison ms
took Klrkum for a political opponent, and understood
him to call for pledges, and he therefore became great
" excited and agitated, and raising his voice TO the
highest pitch, said: q will make no pledges III regard
to principles; should he elected, VIII give my assent
10 all the laws, which may pass both Houses oil Con-
gress, however much those laws mag be against my
own opinions and Judgment: and then directing ms
ewes across the street, he SAID: 4 see over the way a
a public officer; although that officer may oppose me,
vet f he does 50 concieHt0nSiy and honestly, VIII be
the last man TO disturb HIM and then turning TO Mr..
X. he said: rs Me gentleman NOR ~SattEfed' give
Won his exact words as minutcd at the time, and winch
will not be disputed. So you see that HARRISON, has,
after all, committed himself on one point, he has dis
claimed the veto power, and has pledged himself, that
he vii sanction any thing which may pass both Houses
of Congress, no matter by what majority, aud whether
i be to abolish slavery in the District OF Columbia, or
to charter a United States Bank.
sln abiding to his military services, he sad: Il
RELY upon the good opinion of my countrymen; care
nothing for the opinion ofthose %(alludng to our foreign
and adopted population who have come h'tier ",ooo
miles across the water.
eThis remark evidently gave great offence 10 our 10
reign and adopted citizens, who were standing IN the
crowd, and made il evident TO all, that General Harm
son still retained the spirit of the Alien and Scdltion
laws, which he is said 10 have approved. He made ire.
qucnt illusions 10 his own log cabin, and hard cider,
called Van Buren, a magician, and declared that the
measures of the Administration were not only tending
that way, but had already converted our Government
into q monarchy
"On the whole, it is extremely fortunate that the
people Of this part OF the State have seen and heard
General Harrison.
sThc Cleveland Herald and Gazette, you know is a
LEADING Wing paper ofthis State, and opposed with al!
IFS might the nomination of Harrison. This paper set
forth. as one Of The great reasons why he should not tie

"Ours streets, on Tuesday last, were filed with Wing
/ professions Of those who had arrived BY land and water
on their way to Fort llcigs. The largest and the most
imposing of the whole was the procession ofthe Wings
from the old counties OF Geauga and AshtabuIa, Gtd-
d;ngS' Congressional District. In these counties, the
man body Of the Abolitionists reside, and they are the
strongest Wing counties Of Ohio, and probably OF the
L.. 5. This great Abolition procession marched under
the banners of Harrison and Tyler, and JGmcS H..
Paine was its Marshal, the leading Aboltionisto OF OHIO,
and who would carry war to the knife upon the insti-
tutions of the South. In this procession were the very
men who compose the secret associations upon the Lake
shore, to aid the escape Of fugitive slaves to the opPo-
site frontier of Canada.
