BEAD and hand the paper TO your nert neighbor.
We lay before the people of Lou siana a cor
between General HARRISON and
JAMES LYONS, one ofthe whig electors for Vir-
ginia, which must forever quiet the apprehen-
Sons of the most timid in respect to General
Harrson's opinions upon the slave question.
We invite for it the most careful perusal, and
hope that the friends OF IA prosecuted and stain
less patriot will bestir themselves in giving it
an extensive circulation. Truth must have
lost its influence upon the hearts of men, and
reason become obliterated by the fierccness of
party prejudicos, if the charge of abolitionism
is ever again made by his enemies, or doubt
as to his entire orthodoxy upon this topic,
linger in the mind Of any man whatever.
We do not expect the conductors Of the loco
Eoco press to moderate their violence against
General Harrison, or retract an accusation
which has not the slightest foundation in truth.
Indeed, Judging from the past, they will be-
come more furious in their denuncations; but
the people, those even who are opposed to the
old soldier, will rejoice at the unequivocal man
Iner IN which he has again asserted his tho.
rough hostility to abolitonism.
We will not detain our readers longer. A
rich treat is before them. Not only does this
correspondence put fnisher upon the abolition
IcaIumny, but it at the same time vndicates
Gen. Harrison from the charge of federalism,
and scatters to the wind the mputation OF
his being in the hands Of conscience keep.

RICHMOND, April llth, 1840
Dear Sir,-The circumstances which this
letter will explain, will excuse me, hope, for
lntrudng myself upon your attention.
Among the numerous charges which have
been put into circulation against you by the
presses and partizans Of Mr.. Van Buren,, the
two most relied upon and deemed most potent
in the South, are-that you are Federalist
and an Abolitonist. Satisfied, from the ev
donce before them and the whole country, that
are equally unsustained by truth,
your friends have met, denied, and as they be-
lievo refuted them. As the prospect of your
election increases, however, and the heart of
the patriot revives with the hope of the success
Of one, from whom he expects wise econom>
cal, and Republican administration, the maig-
nifty of your enemies seem to increase, and
the spoilsmen become more reckless and des>
perute in their efforts to retain the power by
which they make their spoiI-Olthis, the con.
elusive evidence will be found in the Richmond
Enquirer Of the 10th instant, in a production
purportng to be an address from the Van Buren
Central Committee here. In that address il is
'oundly asserted that you arc a Fedoralist and
IN Aboltlonist, and that your friends in the
South support you, knowing that you are so.
This statement is made herewith knowledge
'fthe views entertained by the wings of Vir
.inia, as expressed in the address 10 the peo
lie o(the State, published by their convention,
,hich was held in this city in the month of
'obruary las, of which send youa copy by
10 mail of this day. ] regard the charge, il
