Such is the and the statesman, the soldier and
the patriot, whom the Democr attic Republican Com
ittee presented to the People of the United States
as candidate for their suffrages for the first office
and highes honors ofthe Republic.
To show that he was not Wing, and was equally
feared and hated by all good Wings, it is only
sary to quote sentence from the official organ
of the Wing party, (the Integencer,) upon its trans
ferring reluctantly, the Democratic Republican Ad-
dress to its columns:
tSoh oNSosNbj
on the extraordinary proposition from Committee of
citizens of Harrisburg in Pennsylvan for Nation
al Convention to be held at Pittsburgh, for the exclu
sive purpose of presenting General HARRISON as the
Wing candidate for the Presidency"
A" Wing" candidate! What an absurdity. Was
| he "Wh ig" candidate in 1862 Neither "Whig'
nor Whggery is found in any of tie proceedings Of
the meeting, or i'll any portion of the Address.
To show that Gen. Harrison was not "Whig'
candidate and never likely to be, we quote another
passage from tho organ in relation ths cam,
| address:
"We still expect that the Who's in Congress will
express some opinion, before the session ends as to
the proper time and place for hold ng National Con-
venton 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 we copy the
following articles the subject from late Ohio pa.
pers:"
But we shall not trouble oursef about these "arti.
ces except to quote passage (from the Galipols
JournaD:
"We are pleased to see ho1oeuer that this Increment
in Pennsylvania is condemned by every Wig paper
1hich has come 10 our notice."
~. are "peased to see too, such testimony from
the adversNres Of the democratic Republican" can
didate, showing that he was no "Whig," and not at
all suitable to "Whg" tastes, nor having any Wig"
affinity, or likely to depend upon Wing support"
We now pause again in our argument and in
quries,-after having shown that General Harrison
was neither Wing, nor 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.. CHA US friends to call JOHN
TYLER TO account?
