National Road.

We find The following article in the Wabash
Courier, calling the attention OF the people in
tere.ted, 10 this great national thoroughfare. We
copy Ii for The same purpose. We know mol what
the poor, Fifth District can do True she could
get up petition long the road itself. and
send i, to-Me King Of the nonk.es--aer repre-
sentative, who would probably ask of the 1T
lie boys about the Hall to carry it TO the Clerks
Ia Bile, and there would end our exertions for the
Cumberland Road. Illuminating is our position
While other districts and other people havo rep
resenia 10 battle manfuIly for their rights,
the poor dsgraced Fifth District is represented BY
6ntioou, without a rock in his pocket. We hope
the delegates from other districts the Stale III
do their duty, and il ould be veil for the people
to hold meetings and petition Congress on the
subject Of q appropriation; but we do no
thing here, unles. require extra services from
the representative Of another district.
AT the request of friend, we suggest the pro-
priety OF holding meeting for the purpose OF
taking some for cooperating with our
friends along the road and to aid In bringing the
subject before Congress. Should it be deemed
expedent to hold meeting, shall be p!eased
to publish a call for one.

GEN Harrison Po1sosED.-We give tho follow
ing find it published in other papers We
do not believe il. We were in Washington CITY
a. tho time of the disnterment of tho body, bu,
we heard nothing Of the facts here stated; bu, on
the contrary our impression now is. that we
heard that the corpse was but slightly changed
from the appearance it presented when placed in
the vault. We must say, however, that the fol-
lowing article is from of the mos. influential
aud best accredited papers in the United States:
From New England Re.isw
GEN. HARRISON PoIsoNED.-We have learned
from private sources that when the body of Gen
Harrison was disinterred, previous to its removal
TO North Bend, on opening the collins in which il
enclosed the head had swollen so large as TO
burst the glass fitted around it. l. was ex-
amined by medical men, and others and the con-
clusion 20 which they came, left room for the hor-
rlble suspicion that he was poisoned TO Death!
OF the fact, now state il. there can be
no doubt, for we have the most positive proof and
1t only seems strange to US that no further inves
legations were made at the time, TO satisfy the
mind In regard TO any other evidence of murder
having been committed There is one establish
ed fact, however, which strongly favors The idea
that such might have been the case, and that is
thing but poison could have produced such an
effect upon the head and cause it to swell in such
a manner. And 1t there be any disease which
might induce such a swelling, still the disease Of
which it generally thought and alleged he
died, could no; possibly be the cause.
The opinion that Gen. Harrison was murdered
IS becoming prevalent among the people of Wash
ngton, and the above is the reason which they
assign for such distressing belief. And vet in
thinking over the matter, we can hardly convince
ourself that we are dealing with facts-but such
is the case. The mystery is full of horror, and
vet it is no phantom, chimera of the brain
but n real. IL n O IDLE, fea rfuI reaIity
The truth IS not kuown--may never be known
save only by Him whose eve is upon all things
searching out even the thoughts of men, as well
being cognizant of their deeds. What deeds
OF horror Eternity will bring 10 light which Time
has only served TO cloak with the oblivion of Sc.
crecy and silence.
Since the above put type, received the
following notice in the Cincinnati Gazette The editor of
which Of the committee BY city of Cincinna

tETA foolish story started sometime since in
eastern print and has been since extensively
coried, the purpcrt of which is, thai the BODY of

ratory 70 lis removal exhibited appearances show
ing that he came TO his death by poison-and 81.
per adding that the belief that such was the cause
Of his death. was gaining ground at Washing ton
We had regarded this story ridiculous TO

che cked her instructive generosity, and n single
quarter of dollar relieved her conscience Of tho

1t was not long, however, before her walk brought
her up with her acquaintances, who held

10 which the fashionable circle in which she
moved felt profound interest. She was entreat-
