me much pleasure to state that, they expressed
themselves highly pleased with it. In this town

go so far as to say that in their opinion there

pidly and daily gaining strength. Travellers OF
both parties, arriving here from every point OF
the compass, seem to think that there is no mis-
take about Harrison's election. The propositlen
for a standing army unquestionably operates
much against Van Buren,. His party, at their
public meetings, in order to decry and dcnoancc
Gen. Harrison, declare that he has no fixed prin-
siples, is black cockaae federalist, an aboh-
tionst, coward, and In favor of selling white
men into slavery, because they are not able to
pay their debts. And, TO support these infamous
and slanderous charges, they resort to the most
absard arguments, and tell the most abersinable
falsehoods.
