continually increasing. We at loss how to &C.

CONSISTENCY -Whatevcr may have been General
HAEElsoN's character for consistency, previous to
bis nomination to the Presidency in 1885, all must
admit that since that period he has been at least
consistent, in withholding from tie people any d.
rect and unequ;vocal answer, 10 any intcrogatory
which has been propouudcd to him except in q sin.
gle instance, as far as we are informed On the
26th August last in speech, delivered at Carthage,
he took occasion TO state that he had "recently re-
ceived letter from a personal friend, who is
member of an Abolition Society, proposing two
questions" and after stating the questions he goes
on 10 say 81 do not hestate to answer both these
questions in the afilmaiive"m!
With this siogle exception, we do not know
single instance in which he has answered, unbesta-
t'ugly and uuequvocally. In 1886, when Mr.. VAN
EurEs and himself were both intclrogated by the
anti-masons, how did they answer? General HARRI-
SON, in reply to the committee says: 81 beg leave to
inion you, that if elected President Of the United
S;a;cs, would on no account, nom;oate any man
to Office whore obligations to any secret society
were superior 10 those which lie avowed TO the laws
and constitution Of his county,"
What sort o. an answer is This to plain question,
will you: will you not appoint masons 10 office if
elected? But this is about direct an answer as has
been obtained from him any subject since his no
miaation except in the single instsnce referred to,
unless indeed his letter to Governor OWEN Of Nolih
Carolina be considered another. The following is
Mr.. VAN BUsEN's reply. Mark its plain straight
formed b;gbmnded Independent character. 81
should not, feel it 10 be my duty to inquire whe-
ther applicants for effice were either Mosons or op.
ponents of the Masonic institution. Whilst the
fact Of any such application being Mason would
certainly not be regarded by me as constituting
ground of preference, could not, at the time
look upon either circumstance creating his quail.
ficaton for Office if the applicant should prove to
be- in all other respects, well entitled thereto.n

GOOD REASONS FOR A CHANGE OF OPIN.

| The following reasons for change from Loco
Focoism to Harrison Democracy, are given IN a
letter Of the Hon. j. MES GARLAND, a representa-
tive in Congress from Virginia. recently adore ssed
to his constituents, through the Charlot;ville Re-
publican Mr. Garland is a plain, sensible honest
man; and his opinions will have great weight with
all who know him personally. He says:
"Opposed as I mn all the reckless and fatal
schemes of Martin Van Buren,, aim bound to sup.
port their author because | supported him four
years ago, and before he had eveloped these DIR
ing and dangerous principles? Every man who
has spark of patriotism burning in his bosom,
particle of republican feeling in his heart will
say If approved a man to day, and 10 NOR
row he proves unworthy of my confidence, am
bound TO approve him 10 morrow BECAUSE approx
ed him 10 day? Every honest man will say no.
This, then, is precisely my case. MIR Van Bnren
four years ago, or at least protested to be- what
he is not now He now maintains principles di-
rectly the reverse Of what no did then, and for
that have abandoned him; l regard his present
principles dangerous to liberty and ruinous 10 the
country. This is sufficient cause for me to oppose
| his reelection.
| Gen. Harrison stands before me now, i'm much
more elevated point of view, .han he did four
years ago. The dark clouds which base Islander
and foul misrepresentation had gathered around
! his character as a soldier and a statesman, have
been dispelled by the glorious sunshine of truth.
The force OF Truth has reached me- and is penetrat-
| ing the valies and the gorges of the mountains
| and exhibits Gen Harrison as faithful soldier and
able statesman-a good man and patriot, and one
of natures nobiest works, an honest man. He is
an ardent friend of his country-her free institu
tons, her liberties and her prosperity, and man
oftried negriiy-l am not afraid to trust him
and as between him and Martin Van Buren,, do
not hesitate moment; but shall give him warm
and ardent support will unite with no Virgni-
an in dishonorng and defaming of whom the
Old Dominion may have been Justly proud in her
bes; days Whatever may have said, however
inconsistent may be in the exercise Of my RICH is
is free and citizen, shalt cast my vote the
best way can for the good of the country, regard
less of any effect it may have on me personally
tho prescriptions Of party; but in spite of them viii
/ do as think right"

features of ancient political parties remain For

shall show this. before have done. do not claim
that democracy has done no evil. Doubtless II has.
Federalism and democracy are both essential to the
well being of this country. Without one the u
Mon could not exist; and without the other, the
general government would swallow up every
thing. So far as Federalism and Democracy have
permanent existence in the politics OF the country,
and give character 10 parties and tone to principles
they are parallel with Wing and Tory in England.
Each confer their appropriate benefits, and each
should be preserved. But they must be accurately
balanced mischief is at once produced. do not
complain That Mr.. Van Buren,, Gov. Van Ness,
MIR Dillingham; and Capt. Partridge FederaIists;
or such they all are, if Federalism has not lost its
essence; whatI complain of is they too strong
Federalists and if permitted 10 go and carry
the high-toned Federal measures they have in con
emplation, the govern OF this country will
never again IFS democratic features and
character. would, therefore, call upon the De-
mocracy, the true genuine Democracy ofthe coun-
try, the natural and ever active antagonism Of Fed
cralism 10 make efforts corresponding with the
casion--to make one more attempt regain itH
