tone upon which the employer raised his voice 90
that all his workmsn might hear, repeated what the

He replied, yes. Well, said the employer, will the
price of tea, coffee, sugar. &c. be also proporonaly
reduced? No, says the loco still in low tone, but

ANOTHER CALUNlNY RE
FUTED.

Some tinne ago, j fedora l0cofo-
co journal ii Cincinnati accused
Gen Harrison Of being q member
of an abolition society. Gov
OwEN. Of North Carolina, wrote
Immediately to the old hero, to as
certain the truth 81 falsehood ofthe
charge In reply he received the
following equivocal denial:
|CINCINN a 9'II, 18th Feb 1910.
My Dear Sir.
Your letter Of 3Ist ult., reached
my residence at North Bend, BY
the mail yesterday, from whence i
was sent to me at this place.
You ask me whether | now am,
or ever have been a member Of an
abolition society.
/ answer, decisiVely, no. So far
from being member ofsuch a so
Iciety, I did not know but as you
knew il, viz, BIZ common fame, that
there was or ever had been d society
Iof tdescript ninany ofthe north
western states, until three weeks
ago, until I received D letter from q
citizen of this city, an entire stran-
ger to me, who styled himself pres
Iident Of the abolition society Of
ETaniIfon cnl1nfv
In relation to the Ohio Stateniah
from which as yoss: say, this chafge
ssss CT belonging to an abolition socie-
ty'' was copied into some papers
Of your state. Such is the reckless
course, which it, and some others
|of politics, pursue towards me, that
Ihave determined to notice noth-
ing which they may publish.
1 am, dear sir, truly yours,
WILLIAM I. HARRISON.
TO the Hon. John Owen.
This letter proves at once that
the society in Richmond, Va, to-
which Gen. HARRISON belonged
fifty years ago, was not an abolition
society in the sense in which the
term is now employed. Cotempo-
raneous testimony clearly shows
that it was a humane or coloniza-
ton society. In those days abolition,
as at present understood, was un-
known, for the simple reason that
in three-fourths of the states slave
" existed. Our opponents know
all this as we'll as we do; but it is
their cue to persist IN falsehood,
and they will continue until loco fo-I
co and liar shall become synoni-
nous terms.

The Washington Correspondent
of the Charleston Courier, in his
letter ofthe 18th instant, has the
following paragraph:
''In the House Mr. BORIS made
severe demonstration against the
Administration. "A He brought for
ward charge that some Lieuten-
ant of the Navy, (Hooe, if mis-
take not, had been tried by a
Court Martial, found guilty of some
mal-conduct, upon the testimony
of a NEGRO, and sentenced to
be cAsHIERED. And further, that
Mr.. VAN BUREN, knowingthe char
acter of the testimony approved Of
the sentence. Mr.. BORIS moved
to suspend the rules, in order to-
enable him to move a call for the
papers in the case, but the House
refused to suspend"
The Correspondents adds, that
some Of Mr.. Van BUREN's South
ern supporters appeared to be en-
barrassed by the charge. We
have no doubt they were. 1t IS
