FOR PRESIDENT,
VIM. HENRY HARRISON
VICE PRESIDENT.
JOHN TYLER.
Communication.

A statement is now going the rounds of
those papers which seek to bolster up the
reputation of the present unworthy incum-
bent of the Presidency, by vilifying Gen.
Harrison. As it has already appeared in
the organ of the oilice-hollcrs in this
town, which weekly dilluscs its unwholc-
some doctrines, under the appcllation of
the Burlington Sentinel, it may be worth
while to correct it. And, by-thc-wav,
can do no better than apply the words
which head an article of nearly three
columns in length, and ofdcpM unfathom-
ablc,-" be notdcteiced,"-to the present
case. The statement is that one "Moses
Dawson, Esq. of Cincinnati, the biog-
"raphcr of Gen. Harrison and his warm
"pcrsonal friend, has published letter,
setting forth his reasons why he cannot
"support the redoubtablc hero of Tippc-
canoe" | can give one treason" for
this Dawson's opposition to Gen. lIarri-
son, better than any suggested by himself
or by the administration papers, for him.
lie is the proprietor of the Cincinnati
Advertiser supported wholly by print
ing for the national administration, and
which, without such aid from the govern
ment, could not exist a single day. Mr..
Dawson having several years ago written
a life of Gen. Harrison, in which credit
was given to the subject of it, for talents
and public services, has been much an
noycd Of late because that memoir has
been quoted as fairtcstimony in Harrison's
favor. In order to retain his pension
from Mr.. Van Buren,, the biographcr now
finds it cxpcdicnt to counterfeit the effect
of his own culogium upon the Wing cam
didate for the Presidency. Hence the
letter in qucstion-and this is the true
translation. The people should be on
their guard against such bare faced asser-
tlons, and would say to them, to quote
the expression a second time, abe not
deceiced." PHno-VERITAs.

say in his speech:
"Now sir, l am greatly in hopes our
people will read and ponder over this
table they will there see that in France
yearly wages for an able bodied man
range from 4S to $50 shillings, and day
laborers get in that country from Al to Is
pence per day and whenever they get
as much as 5 pence they have to find
themselves. In Germany wages arc still
lower, and range by the year between 50
to 100 shilmgs, and day laborcrs receive
from 4 - to pence per day, and find
themselves in food. In south Holland
farm hands get by the year from 200 to
$50 shilings, and day laborers from 8 to
1 pence per day, and are found. And
so ON, sir. Whoever will take the trouble
to examine the table, which is official and
authentic, will see that in all these coun-
tries which are held up to us as such bright
examples of hard money countries
France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy,
wages by the year for an able bodied,
sound, healthy man, no where exceeds
two hundred and fifty shllings; and, in
many instances, fall as low as 40, 80, and
60 shillngs (; and the daily wages range
from 3 90 and IL pence, rising in one
place, and only one, to 90 pence, and
the laborer finding himself What COM
mcntary upon the hard money policy T!
What hope is here for man born the
son ofpoor parents ever to better his con-
dition ? What ray of hope is there to sti-
mulate him to cxertion ? None, none
He who is there born peasant. Those
born to the plough die at the plough tail /;
and all that the longest life of laborious
toll can procure for them is coarse and
scamy means of subsistence. Think you,
sir, these people aremade happy because
theirs are hard money countries ! Is this
the prosperity bcasted of wien we are
triumphantly told ofthe immense amounts
of gold and silver held by their great ca
pitalsts? Is this an example worthy of
our imitation ?-Think you, sir, the high
blood of American freemen will submit to
this? Never"

In the Patriot of November %, in the

culogy upon Gen. Harrison:
"What man lives, whose whole heart
and soul is not British, that cannot sim
ccrcly rejoice in the late victories OF
Perry and Harrison ~
In the Patriot of Jan. Z, 1912, we
find the following paragraph touching the
letter of Gen. Harrison TO Congress, after
the glorious battle of Tippecanoc

WASHINGTON, March 4,h

The Chairman of the Committee on
Elections announced his readiness to make
a Report to day under The Resolution of
The House adopted on Friday last. That
Resolution intructs the committee to report
forthwith" the illegal" votes or number
Of votes. The Resolution requires an i'm.
possibility. and The Committee feel more
governed by the word forthwith than by
illegal" votes. The Report was not re-.
ceIved to day.

The New JERSEY OUTRAGE.-.The
Committee on Elections, in the House Of
Representatives, acting under instruc, ions,
have reported IN favor Of the Van Buren,
claimants. while it is virtually confessed
that the Wing Members received a major
ity Of the legal votes.
This outrage was committed while the
Wing Members were in New Jersey, un'
der The direction Of the Committee, taking
testimony showing that their opponents
were not entitled to the seats.
A prescribed and injured State will
put this matter right when her Freemen
get an opportunity of consulting the Bal

GFTIIE PETTICOAT STORY :,
MIR. HILLS VERSION.
We commence our extracts (says the
Telegraph by giving Gov. Hills opn
account of the incident in which has oripi-
mated the ridiculous petticoat story, which
Gen. Harrison's opponents have so tor
tured, as to heap upon him the disgrace
which so Justly belongs to the British
General Proctor. In the New Hamp-
shire Patriot of July 20, 1913, Isaac
Hill, cditor--is the following:
"Ata council with chiefs ofthe Della
ware, Shawonoe, Wyandot and Seneca
tribes of Indians at Franklington, some
of whom have manifested symptoms of
hostility, Gen. Harrison, in speech, al
luded to the agreement made by Proctor
to deliver him up to the Indians to be
murdered, in case Fort Meigs was taken;
and promised in case he (IIarrison) was
successful, that he would deliver Proc
tor into their hands-on condition that
they should do him no other harm than to

The following just praise upon Gen.
Harrison, is taken from the Richmond
Enquirer of 1Sl4:-
"Thc Secretary of War holds, not
only the most important, but the most
difficult station in the Government. II
requires a rare combination of talents.
He must be an experienced man; indie
fatigable, brilliant and prompt in his con-
victions decisive in the execution of bis
orders. The one whom | have named
General Harrison comes as near to this
character as any can think Of"

HERE AN OPPONENT.

The Tory papers pretend to give no credit
to the accounts with which they are meet
ing in every direction of the movements
of the people. But all are not SO blind.
The following candid acknowledgment is
from the Charleston Courier, a paper in
favor of Van Buren,. Does that paper
appear to think that the enthusiastic zeal
which is stimulating the whole Wing party
from New Brunswick to the Oregon is
manufactured to order!"
We deem it right to make our readers
aware that contrary to our original en-
pcctation, the prospects of Gen. HAIR
RIsoN tor the next Presidency are improv-
ing and Frightening. Division and schsm
no longer distractand paralizc the Wings,
but they are united in solid phalanx, from
one end of the Union to the other, and
moving heaven and earth by vigorous,
concentrated and enthusiastic efforts, to
accomplish the overthrow of the present
administration and the triumph of their
tavorlte candidate. The financial follies
ofthe administration (much to our regret, J
give Gen. II. an advantage of position,
which his friends are making the most of,
and which calls for the most active coun-
ter excrtions on the part of the powers
that be, to whom notwithstanding their
financial sins, we yet cling with the fond
ness of old affection, and a gratitude
founded on their noble and gallant stand
for the rights of the integrity of the Con-
stitution and the peace of the Unon."

The Locotocos say that William Henry
Harrison cannot be a man of ability be-
came he has held so many important
Offices and is still poor. In their opinion,
for man to have an opportunity to get
rich out of the government, and not do 1t,
is an evidence of want of ability. Hon
esty and patriotism are quite out of the
question in their view.

~ There is one thinr which should

u There is one thing which should
not be forgotten in estimating the results
of the hard money schemes of this gov
crnmcnt. 1t is this, that under this sys-
TEN a poor man has no chance to get rich;
a poor man must remain poor. The
great distinction between our own country
and the countries of Europe, the differ
ence between country where there is a
mixed currency, and one where the cur
rcncy is exclusively metallic, has been
that, in the former, the avenues to wealth
are open to all, while, in the hard money
countries, the man born rich, remains
rich; the man born poor, remains poor.
