CEN.HARRIsOy's DEAru-nED, AGAIN

!
The federal papers as was expected s,outly de-
ny the facts given By the Globe in relation to the
deaih-bed of the late President
The following is from the Rutland HcraM:
"l'ho Washington Globe is unwilling to permit
Gen. Harrison TO sleep quietly in his grave, 1t has
gone into his death chamber, and pretends to de-
tail his conversation in his last, delirous moments
personal friend Of the late President, who was
with him in these solemn and iryi ing moments, de-
carcs, through the lnclligencer, the GloJe story
to be false as it is most wicked Since the publ
cation in the Globe, Col, Croghan, upon whose au-
thority the statements pretend to be gwen has
come out in letter in which he declares he gave
no authority for said publication, Other papers of
the same politics Of the Giobe are repubShng the
arocious article from the GlOje, but they are care
Gul not 10 publish Croghan's contradiction.
Look at :hc spirit Of the Age and find the state
ncnts referred to, all copied in the most conspic-
uous manner, from the GlOjc aud tell us if tie
editor Of the GloIe ough, no, to be prosecuted for
u libel, ard the editor Of the Spirit of the .qgc
should not he rode out Of town on Il rail, with every
mark of conlumcIy and contempt. lie knew them
10 be forgcres when they were copied, like the
thousand-and-onc other simiars with which his
own aud the loco press universally have teemed
during the last presidential election"
This paragraph is undoubtedly intended TO in
duce the public to disbelievc Gen. llarrison's OPP
position to Wcbster's prescription, and to prove
that Gen. II. did not say, on his dealh-bed, "MY
DEAR MADAM, I DID NOT DIRECT THAT
YOUR HUSBAND SHOULD BE TURNED
OUT. ibid NOT KNOW IT. TIRED TO
PREVENT n" "lT IS wRoNG-I woN'r
coHsENr--'rIs UNJUST" 81 CANNOT
STAND TIT ALMOST KILLS ME-"
We repuIlish portion of an article establishing
the assertions Of the GloJe:
"Thc specific fact on which we founded the as
scrlion, that Gen. Harrison expressed his abhor-
renee Of The prescription visited upon the subordi-
mates in the Department, grew out of an occurrence
TO which ihe Rev. Mr. Thornton Ga clergyman of
cmincnce of this cy,) and another highly respect
able clergyman, Mr Ryland were witnesses. We
understand those gentlemen went with letter from
Judge Mclean in favor of The latter TO prevent his
removal from his chap!aincy They found the
General in the circumstances mentioned by COL
respondent, whose communication we gave some
days ago in the GloLe, aud then it was that he said
TO these excellent men
Gentlemen, have been almost run down
cannot stand it This turning ont Of ,coriby men I
Hercr rW consent TO. Only just now, beautiful,
young looking woman called on me, and said, NV
husband is turned ont of employment, and we are
actually here in this expensive city having nothing
10 eat "Nly dear sirs,'' continued the President,
at Utmost Kills me; can hardly stand it. the
unworthy will not 60 out, and the worthy shall not
be turned out"
Should Mr. Webster he inclined 10 ties, the vc-
racity of this statement let him call before his
Commission Of Inquiry the pure, pious, and VEN
cradle men whose names we have given. We have
not communicated with them on the subject, and
they doubtless had no expectation that the state
ment would find its way into the public prints, and
we do not hesitate 10 say those patterns of negr-
~ and truth will make good every syllable here
written down. Gen. Harrison did say TO them, 81
