V DICE THE WING PRES
From the Louisville tKy.l Journal.
OUR POSITION.


Fellow Whigs--look AT the head of this col
umn. There stand the names of Harrison and
Tyler, and there they will stand until utter the
election.
1t is well known that we have been the advo-
cate OF The nomination of Henry Clay for the
Presidency, but it is equally well known that we
have uniformly declared our determination to give
our support to the nominee of the National Con-
ventlon. In good faith we have given the plege,
ana III good faith we mean to redeem it, We
shall give to the veteran warrior and statesman of
ono, no reluctant or sned support we shall
throw our whole heart into his cause, for it is the
cause OF the county, of the constitution and Of
freedom.
Happily, the season of division in the army of
Reform has gone by. One of the wisest and
Welghtlest Conventions that ever assembled in
the United States, has, after careful comparison
oil opinions, unanimously nominated Gen. Harri.
son Tor the Chief Magisracy, and now every gen.
ulne wing, every proiessed Wing who is not
dI'grace to that glorious name, will rush with all
the glowing ardor of kindred patriotism, to the
support OF the nomination. General Harrison is
tie same hero, The same patriot, the same states
man, the same virnous citizen now, that he was
in 1886; il, therefore, the Wings supported him
with enthusiasm against Martin Van Buren, then,
with much greater enthusiasm will they support
him now against that INSCRIPTIONS denlagogue,
who, during his term of office has been guilty of
outrages, which, four years ago, were ufdreaned
OF even by his most violent enemies

PLAIN REASONS
For Iloin men why VIM. Henry Harrison should
be elected President of the United
Statps

LIST. lie is tried republican ofthe Old School
who has served the country faithfully in neace
and war; and has the Jeffersonian requisites for
oihce "he ls honest capable, and faithful to the
constitution"
ID. lie was for twelve years Governor of In
diana, and Mt the same time performed the du.
TIES OF Indian Agent During this period mill
IONS oi the public money passed through his
hands, every cent of which he accounted for;
and nc lett the public service pure aud poor.
81. Whenever invested with power whether
III peace or in war, the Supremacy of the
law was sustained He never challenged his fel.
'oW man TO single combat but often as he met
the Toes OF his country lie proved the victor
4th lie is a Inan ofsubstance, not of show
plain in his dress and manners, practical Glrmer.
works with his own hands and treats everyl hon.
est man as his equal.
9th. He is pledged to serve but one term. and
this pledge he will redeem without recurring an
alteration of the constitution.
9th He would respect the will of Congress in
ail matters OF expediency, and would only use
the veto power when the act submitted for his
approval came in conflict with the constitution,
|th lie would regard the Senate MS having
the same right as himself to Judge of appoint
ments to office; and if the nomination of one
noble friend" should be rejected. he would
sehd IN another not less noble without being in
any degree offended by the rejection of his first
named friend.
9Th. He has not been in public life for the las,
twelve years nor mingled in the party strife the
day he would therefore be the President of the
Whole People, and would come into Office with a
disposition to lessen Executive power and patron
age and to reduce the extravagant expenditures
of the Federal Government to wholesome
limit.
9Th. He is the Father of the present adnra-
bic system ofdsposing of the public lands, which
has been so perfected that poor man who can
mike up Sl0O, may become an Independent Free
holder. This measure has earned for him the
title which he receives in the West, of the "Poor
Mans Friend"
10Th. Although working man, and not
Lawyer, he has talents of a high order, is ga schol-
al and ripe and good one, lis one of the best
read in the counry-and thinks well, speaks we'll
writes well, and fights weIl.-Baltinlore Chroni-
Gle.

One Ttrm-We are glad TO see that the "one
term p" doctrine, in regard 10 the Presidency, is
gaining ground aud that men of all parties ure
coming out in favour of il. In the earlier peri
cd of our Constitutional career-in The better
days of the Repubc-the inconvenience of the
two term syst, m scarcely felt In those
days all men took Office the highest, to serve
their country and there was therefore no induce
ments, surprising principle out ofthe way, to np-
ply the power and patronage enjoyed during the
first term, TO The base and yenal use OF secu.

has undoubtedy come over the spirit of ON coun-
try, or incumbenls of office, nee those DAVIS
And il is evident TO the whole Union thnt from
the day when a party President assumes the
Executive chair and becomes dispenser of "re-
wards to his friends, and "punishment TO his
opponents from that day, until the end OF his
Jour years term of ofce-a leading object with
himself and his subordinate office holders is to
so order affairs, and TO strengthen his hands,
10 secure this power for another term. Who can
deny that this is so The'fact is beyond denial,
| and is notorious
| Here then is one great recommendation 10 tho
honest man and tried patriot Of North Bend 1t
will be a strong and just recommendation OF him,
TO honest men OF all parties, that General Harrison
has openly declared and peged himself ia favour
of one term. If elected, therefore, he will be the
Predetermined of our party, but the country, and
will retire from office, with good conscience and
clean hands, at the end ofthe first term - Baltimore

Very Good-Mr Pckens, of South Carolina, in

just remarks

strong Executive action in this Government, and
it is time that the Representatives of the People

Public Lands. The machinery is work. The
election of President approaches; and the party
Of Mr. Van Buren, are preparing to bride the Wes-
tern states TO his support Mr.. Walker OF Mssis-
spp, aud Mr.. Clay of Alabama, have each given
notice of their intention to bring in bills contem-
plating the reduction Of The prices of Public
Lands.
This sacrifice of the rights of the old states, for
the purpose of hrbing the new, will probably be
supported, by all the Van Buren members of Con-
gress from the old states. There are two Senators
in Maine, two in New Hampshire, one in connec-
lieut. one in New Jersey, and Two in Pennsylva'
na, who, without going any further south or west,
are sufficient to change The majority in that house,
aud save the rights Of the people Of their states
