As we have not, in the course Of our Argument,
had occasion to aude the character and services OF
the iuslrious and lamcned Harrison, who signaly
trlumphed over all opposition it would be but act Of
justice TO theCommittee, well indispensable part
of our argument show the character and services of
the candidate of the Peoples choice, whom they de-
lighted to honor:
But who is General HARRsoN7 2" (demand the
Committee, that the people Of Pennsy vania should
desert him in crisis like this :" In the eloquent Lam
guage of the people of the county in which he resides
he is the Of ofthe sgners ofthe Declaration
Of lndependence-a distinguished patriot of the Rev.
oluton enrolled at nineteen in the ranks of his
trys defenden-the favorita sid-de camp Of Wayne
one of the yictors Of Mami-the trusted commander
Of the outpost, Fort Washington-the secretary to
the Northwestern ternlory-its first delegate in Con-
gress-the author Of the benefcent Land system, by
which honest settlers were encouraged and land spec
ulators Iebuked-the popular Governor Of Indiana
the overthrower Of Tecumseh and his British allies
the dplomatist at the treaty Of Vncennes-the HERO
OF TIPPEcANoE-the gallant conquerer Of Upper Can
ada-and as victorious at the Thames member Of
Congress in 1921, (l6l6-'l9, and Senator in 1924

also the prompt adjustment of the claims ofe su, rr
ing officers and soldiers AZ the Rerolution; was Min
lister TO Colombia in lS2s-the author Of the renown-
ID
Presidency in 1886, leading all the opposition cand
dates brought forward by caucus or conciare Of
politicians but by The great and enthusiastic voice Of
grateful People, just and 1eA.merited acknoa0
iedgment TO honesty and fidelity in the performance
Of high public trusts, and equal proptitude and
uMPH in public danger"
Such is the man and the statesman, the soldier and
the patriot, whom the Democratic Republican Com
nnitee" presented to the People Of the United States
as candidate for their surages, for the first Office
and highest honors ofthe Republic.
To show that he was not Wing, and equally
feared and hated by all good Wings, it is only
say to quote sentence two from the official organ
ofthe Wing party, (the Intelligencer) upon its trans
ferring, reluctantly, the Democratic Republican Ad-
dress TO its columns:
w tooh oSSasWbi oicW uayb uRo W duiuhuNeft
on the extraordinary proposition from Committee of
citizens Of Harrisburg, in Pennsylvania for Nation
al Convention to be held Pittsburgh for the exclu-
sive purpose of presenting General HARRISON as the
Wing candidate for the Presidency"
A" Hhig" candidate! What an absurdity Was
he "Whg" candidate in 1886 Neither "Whig"
nor Whggery is found in any Of tie proceedings Of
the meeting, or in any portion of the Address.
To show that Gen. Harrison was not "Whig'
candidate, and never likely to be. quote Another
passage from the organ, in relation to tins
address
1--WE still expect that the Who's in Congress will
express opinion before the session ends as to
the proper time and place for hold ng National Con-
vention 10 fix upon candidate for the Presidency
Meanwhile, TO show that the proposition of the
Harrisburg Committee is not approved even by the
friends Of the candidate whom they prefer copy the
following articles the subject from late Ohio pa
pers:"
But shall not trouble ourself about these "arti-
ces" except to quote passage (from the Galpols
Journal;
I've pleased to see ho,oerer that this Increment
in Pennsylvania is condemned by epery Wing paper
,rhich has come 10 our notice"
We are pleased to see, too, such testimony from
the advcrsares Of the democratic Republican"
ddate, showing that he was no "Whig," and not at
all suitable to Whg" tastes, nor having any Wing"
affinity, or likely to depend upon "Whig" support"
We now pause again in argument and in
auires,-after having shown that General Harrison
was neither Wing, belonged to the Wing party,
but on the contrary repudiated by them,-and shall
again repeat our question
And hereupon we demand for the fourth time,
What righthare Mr.. CLA YS.Jrisnds TO call JOHN
TYLER 10 account?
