GEN, JACKSON's REPLY

Hen mo speaker concluded, General
Jackson, In feeble and broken voice.

ana kindness with which he had been re-
ceIved on visiting the Capitol of Nlissis-
siPpI: but, that he was 100 weak to Give

Gen. Jackson then gave his reply in
writing to Gen. Dunlap, who handed it to
MAJOR Andrew j. DoneIson, the relative
and private Secretary of Gen. Jackson.
"hereuPon, Maj. Doneson read the
reply, as follows:

GENERAL HARRISON, MR.. CRARY
AND MR.. CORWIN.

One of the most striking proofs Of the
desperation of the Van Buren, party is their
utter and shameless recklessness In assail-
inc GenH Harrison on points where he is
PERFECTLY invulnerable. The pitiful calum-
niators Of the military fame of this Venera-
bic patriot, forget that their aspersons are
not only refuted by the testimony of histo-
~, but by the cotemporaneous attestations
of their own political leaders. Will not the
encomia of Col. Johnson, of ex-senator
Niles, of Isaac Hill, of Major Butler of Ken
lucky, of Thomas Richie and hundred
other prominent individuals of the admins
tration party, outweig Oh the contemplate
SANDERS Of every dirty and obscure political
slannyhanger in the locofoco ranks? Do
these mendacious prints really believe they
are bene6tting the cause which they adVo-
cate by the repetition of stale and loathed
SANDERS that are the mere offscourings of a
fanatic and INSCRIPTIONS partizan zeal? If
we are not mistaken in our estimate of po-
pular intelligence, the wholesale diatribes
ieyelIed at General Harrison by the major
part of the administration press will have no
other effect than TO forfeit the support of
some of the more rational and honorable of
Mr.. Van Buren's political friends. 1t can.
not be otherwise. Low and degraded must
be the spirit of the American people, if they
do not repudiate this disgusting exhibition
ofrabid hostility.
Among the more conspicuous of Genl.
Harrfson's calumniators stands the name OF
Mr.. erary of Michigan. This s'summer sol
dier;;" this Sunshine patriots" this military
hero, 'who never set squadron on the field
nor the division Of battle knows more than
a spinster" had the audacity a few weeks
since, to charge Genl Harrison with gross
blunders in military tactics, imbecility and
ignorance. He was answered BY one Of the
6TSt men in the union, Mr., Corwin of Ohio.
we have read this splendid speech. It is
scarcely necessary TO add that the Michigan
militia officer never Tentured reioinder.
We do not believe he has ever opened bis
lips on the floor Of congress since. His pre-
tensions to military knowledge and his af-
Bsctsd powers Of criticism were so complete

olher reinlorcements will follow. Major
Noah adds. We do not infer that the adj
mlnistration IS anxious for war with Eng
land to change the aspect Of political affairs,
Tor we cannot perceive how such a change
can benefit our present rulers. The appre-
hension Of difficulties arises from the deter
mined course Of the British Government, as
indicated by the correspondence Of Mr. Fox
the union of the two Canadas--the main
talnance of large force in the British North
American provinces, and several other in
dlcations foreboding some trouble, which it
may be as well for US to be prepared for"
lie then recommends the adoption Of the
following defensive measures, which are en-.
titled to grave consideration in the proper
quarter;
"Fhe passage Of a law for augmenting
the number of American seamen, one pro-
vision of which should be to compel every
merchant and coasting vessel to have GER
tain number of apprentices according to their
tonnage. A survey of all the Notifications,
reaching from Detroit on the frontiers TO the
lines of the British provinces. A complete
reorganization of the militia system through
out the Union, and the formation Of Ma
tional Guard of 100000 men apportioned
throughout the different States. An exam
nation of all the railroads on the great mail
lines between the South and North, and on
the frontiers, and the speedy completion of
which may be required for military purposes
hereafter. Activity and vigilance in all the
departments of government, seem to be re-
quired at this time and by timely preparation
for any event that may occur, the evil which
should be apprehended by both nations may
be avoided.n

We cannot withhold from our readers the

GEN. HARRISON AND THE SOUTH
Gen. Harrison, in fourth of July address
at Cheyoit, Ohio, 1888, said, that, "rnE
DISCUSSION ON THE sURJEcT or EMAECIPA-
TToN IN THE NONE sLAYEHoLDING STATES, IS
EQUALLY INJURIOUS TO SLAVES AND THEIR
MASTERS, AND HAS NO SANCTION IN
THE PRINCIPLES OF THE CONSTI-
.TUTION.o
The New Bedford, (Massachusetts,) Ga.
zette, 1896, edited by Jeremiah G. Harris,
present editor of the Nashville Union, CON-
menting on the claims Of the candidates for
the Presidency, said-"But what saws Gen.
Harrison. "The discussion of the subject
of emancipation is equally injurious to the
slaves and their masters, and has no sanction
in the principles of the constitutions" Here
Mr.. Harrison stands COMMITTED TO
SOUTHERN INTERESTS, and has the
impudence to tell Northern audience that
they have no right by the principles of the
constitution to discuss the subject of eman-
cipation. Now the constitution guarantees
TO every person the right, and the unquali-
fed right of free discussion, without provi-
ding that it is contrary to its principles to
enter the "holy sanctuary of Southern Sla-
very. If then Gen. Harrison
speaks his sentiments, and zoe, (the editor of
the New Bedford Gazette presume he does,
THERE Is NO POSSIBLE DIFFICULTY IN UNDER
STANDING HIS COURSE OF ACTION if

The Yazoo City Whig and political register. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 183?-1840, 1840-05-01

This is our deliberate judgment. Neces-
sarv to a choice of 148 only; but, if we loose
all the doubtful States, and with them the
States of Pennsylvania, Virginia and Ten
nessee, which we hold as certain States still,
elect Gen. Harrison. We therefore say to
our friends every where, press on, every
thing is safe, by proper exertions. The
prize is one worthy of the efforts of freemen
it is nothing short of the rescue of our be-
loved country from the hands OF the spoilers,
who have brought her to her depressed and
embarrassed condition--who have trampled
under their feet the institutions of their
country, and for the purpose of holding on
to the offices and of dividing out among
themselves the money of the people, are dali
ly, through their pensioned presses, libelling
and slandering the man selected as the can
didate of the people-the man who perlled
his life for his bleeding country while they
were walking the carpets of their splendid
mansions-in silk stockings and morocco
pumps.
By way of giving more certain reasons for
the faith that is in US, we subjoin table
showing the aggregate majorities given by
the people of the several States at the FEEDER
al election for members of the present con-
gress. It shows that the democracy of num-
beers were with US a year ago, by about nine
thousand majority.
