PRESIDENT HARRISON.

We have already heard the question asked,
by some ofthe loco foco's;-Did General Har-
rison write his Inaugural Address. They sup
pose, or pretend to suppose, that he is not COM
petent to such production, and the Globe it
sell, has pronounced it to be, 'Websterian' The
following extract from the "Briiania," an En-
gllsh periodical, shows what is thought of Gen
eral Harrison as a soldier, and as writer, on
the other side of the Atlantic, where he can
be judged of untrammeled by the preiudices
of party.
"This was one ofthe most celebrated bat
ties, (battle of the Thames, fought during the
war, and vastly important in its results. On
this occasion Colonel, now General Cass, 1.-THE
American Minister to France) acted as abide.
camp to General Harrison. For his distin-
guIshed services on this occasion, Gen. Har-
rlson received a vote of thanks and gold med
al from the Congress of The United States
After the peace of 1915, General Harrison re.
tired to his estate on The Ohio, having been
engaged, during his active life, IN more hat
ties than any of bis contemporaries, without ev.
erhaving sustained adefeat In 1916. no was
elected member of the House af Represen-
tatives, and in 1924, he represented the State
of Ohio, in the Senate ofthe United States -
In 1928, he was appointed Minister 10 Colnm.
bra. lie soon however. returned To nrvata
life, from which his countrymen now pronose
to recall HIM, and to invest him with the h;gbs
est dignity in the gift Of the Rebublic Con
eral Harrison belongs to what NAV be called
the conservative party, in tile United STATES

writer. As Speaker, he is more remsarkass

brilllancy of his talents than for the sonnd,ass

10 be prinied in letters of gold; framed; and

to be at every corner of every street, in

If Gen. Harrison will carry out his promise
here made to prevent the forming ofan execu-
tive party in congress, he win have done more
towards restoring the government to its orlgl-
nal purity, than any man since the admmlstra-
ton of Thos. Jefferson.

The Richmond Wing, Of March 9Th has tn
following:

NC A@ohiiiohu wing, oil March 9th has the
following:
"humours Of War.--Passenpers in the
cars last evening brought renart. that NJ
Fox, the British Minister, had received in
structloDs from his Government. to densn2
the surrender ofMcLeod, and in case of ref,,-
sal, to demand his passports. The repor,
needs confirmation. We find nothing 10 tho
effect in the papers. In the Globe Of Monday
night, there is a report of debate in the Sen
ate that day, in which Mr.. Buchanan said. |
"there wasno truth whatever in the rumour
now so current, that there bad been an angry
correspondence between the British Minister
and The Secretary of State'.'
We suppose this to be the same rumour
referred 10 above.
There has been some excitement on the
Mcleod case in the British House Of Lords,
and matters are beginning to assume rather
a serious aspect. The following extract from
a speech of Palmerston, in that House, sbews
that the British are strangely ignorant Of the
nature of our government. Speaking Of the
correspondence between the two governments
on this case: and of the right which the
American Government had, in the beginning
to treat it as national affair, to be settled be
tween the nations; or as aprivate one, to b.
left entirely to the local authorities, he says
nBut the American Government has chosel
the former course, by treating this matter
one to be decided between the two govern
ments, and this was the ground on which the.
were entitled TO demand redress from tn
British Government for the actsof ITS sub
iects. He was sure the house would thin
with him that in a matter OF such extrem
difficulty it would be improper for hun to en-
ter into any farther remarks or observation
and he would therefore content himself W.T.
answering the noble lords question by ST.
ting those important facts which he had the
mentioned"
What, is the kind of redress which Il
American government has demanded ~
dress IN the way of damages, or pay, for pr
: perty of an American citizens, destroyed by
British subject, acting under the authority
his government. The state of New 70
conld not make the demand this being
part of its sovereignty which it has delegat
to the general government: the states bei
j expressly prohibited from treating with f
eign government.--rFed. Const., Art.

ofnative Christians, have lately suffered mar,
tyrdom in the Island of Madagascar. They
had for more than two years concealed them
selves from their prosecutors, but attempting
to escape from the Island, they were taken,
and put to death. Their death was accompa-

ton; with the firing of cannon, and in the
presence of thousand soldiers, ordered out
for the occasion. The number of sufferers is

THE GAME OF DECEPTION CONTINUED

r.
Mr. Webster, in the inaugural, seems to DC
very anxious to keep the public money out VI
the reach of the Executive. Hear HIM:
Globe Of March 9Th
So Mr.. Webster not only pens the inau-
o,ral hut dictates the policy which it is to adj
yocate: and the President is innocent OF nav
inc any thing to do in the matter And Mr..
Webster is to be the power behind the throne
and not MIR. Clay, as the Globe from time to
time. for electionering purposes, assured the
American people would be the case. II Mr.
Webster dictates TO President Harrison the
poGcy 10 be pursued, of course Mr.. w. is the
real head of the Government, and he Is the
man who should receive all the blame, and all
the praise. We hope that the Globe Will re-
member this, and, in the event of Mr.. Clays
being the next candidate of the wing party,
will not charge to him all of the errors winch
it may deem erYedie1t, to allege against the
nreeant administration. The Globe is in trou-
ble'about this matter: it wants to charge every
body in general, and some body in particular
with being the adviser aud conscience keePe'
of "Granny Harrison" but it is afraid to deter
mine who that "some body in particular Is
lest perchance, he should not be the next can
dda:e of the wing party. If the Globe cou Il
only find out that one secret, IT would ther
know what course to pursue In the SAINT
number OF that paper from which we take thu
above, we find the following:-
