Consistency.-T The Loco Foco papers
now admit that Mr.. Henry, their Candi.
date for Governor, was an old Federalst,
but it was in "early boyhood" they say;
and therefore, to charge il upon him is
"pitiful." Have they forgotten, that one
OF the allegations which was most perlina-
ciously pressed by them against Gen. Har.
rison was that he belonged to an Abolition
Society Just 40 years beforei Nearly, if
not altogether, as long period interviewed
between Gen. Harrison's votes l.. the Ohio
Legislature, (of which SO much capital
was made,) and the revival of them in the
shape Of weighty accusations, as has trans.
PRED between Mr.. Heary's Federal and
Republican professions. In the old Hero's
case, "distance lent enchantmen, TO the
views" in Mr.. Henrg's case, otis pitiful--
It's wonderous pitiful." Oh how circum.
stances alter cases.-Raieigh Reg.
In Mr.. Hcnry's case, Federalism was
no, thrown off in early boyhood, nor yet
30 years ago, as has been falsely alleged.

have always been Of the opinion since we
understood any thing of the subject that
il was our true policy to protect our own

such, il would doubtless be pleasant to see
what Mr.. Henry SAID Of them in the day
that "tried mems SOULS" Our recollcc-
