Saltonstall, Smith and Clark, are three members of Congresj elected as Motitionists, as their own let ters prove beyond all dispute. There is what they call "a Whig! Executive Committee" at Washing ton, composed of nine members of Congress, who are sending Lives of Gen Harri-on, and pamph lets and papers of all sorts, all over the country to teach the people how to vote. On this committee, these three .IbolUianists have been placed by the Federal Whigs at Washington! Does any slave ho'dt r want more proof, that the Whigs have made a bargain with the Abolitionists? AVill one true hearted Southern man, take lessons in politics from such a Committee? Surely, surely, party spirit can not make our Southern friends so blind, so mad, so utterly coriupt, as to act with these three Whig Committee men. They cannot read, they cannot consent to circulate a single paper coming from the hands of these Fanatics. If they do, they sanction the league, the bargain, the corrupt coalition be tween the Federalists at Washington and thesfe three deluded enemies of the South. They become pa i ties to a "combination" ier than that "between lh puritan and the black le Southern men! Slaveholders!

We will not, in Carolina, consent to tear down the glorious emblem which has been planted by our fathers, and degrade ourselves, and insult their memories, by planting in its place, the emblem, not of reason, freedom, or morality, but the device of a drunken, black guard cabal, "the cider barrel and log cabin."

It is row proved beyond all dispute, by Gen. Harrison's own letters, and speeches, that he has been brought to the conclusion "lo MAKE NO FURTHER PLEDGES AS TO WHAT HE WILL, OR WILL NOT DO IF ELECTED PRESIDENT." What would a plain Cumberland voter say, if Mr. McDiarmid, or Mr. Reid, or Mr. Monroe, should come to such a conclusion? What would he say, if ihcse gentleman should refuse to tell what they "will or will not do, if elected?" Would such candidates, making such declarations in r' ply to the enquiries of the people, get a single vote for the Legislature? We think not. Is not Harrison as much bound to make pledges to the p'.ple, of what he ill do lor them, as a can- d date for the Legislature is? Yes! The higher the office be s?ek3 of the pi-ople, the greater the need, that they should know before hand what it is, he is to do for them. But the old man will not open his mouth. He vt ill not make any pledge. He has said so in two public speeches, during the last month, and he has written the same thing, under his own hand, as w 11 as by his "Committee," on many occasions t'lat have been herctolore published. Il" the old man will not trust the people, will the people trust himt If the Federalists have put a gag in his mouth, and put him under a Committee to think and write for him, will the people, be content, and by electing him, put the country under the same Committee? No, No! Every day is show-ng forth the secrrt scheme of the Federal partv undT Webster and Adams and Clay, to palm upon us as President a man of straw. Hence the gas. Hence the Com- m!;tr-e. to think and sneak for Harrison.

Harrison, stands on the ground, where he and White, and the Federalist Webster slood as candi dates for the Presidency, in 1836. The whigs ran Webster then to get the federal been shed, and a murder pollutes the air. He fills the streets with scenes of the most abandon ed character. The peaceful and well disposed citizen is alarmed and insulted by shouts, groans and prolane doggerel. I he firing of cannon starts him at midnight: and cursing and obscene songs wound his soul as they meet the ears of his wife and children. The demon that is the author of these, is Federalism strengthened by new acquisitions, and by these demoralizing scenes, he begins to subvert our liberties. Our liberties never were in more danger than now.

Can Harrison maintain this three-faced position better than he did in 1836 with White and Webster to h lp him? He is not General enough to do it. He has let the federalists, and Abolitionists, choose this ground for him, us he did the Indians al Tippecanoe. He will find Federalists ot the North and South, Abolitionists, at home and elsew h re, with slave holders at the South and Democrats; a bad mix ture of soldiery to carry on a campaign with.

This is the same Harris -ri lhat supported the alien and sedition law administration of the el der Adams, and for his devotion to that admin istration, anu opposition to Jenerson and trie Democratic parly, was appointed Governor of l.wli:ii.a. He followed up tne san e poncy oy 1T., renlv to supporting the younger Adams in opposition to No reply to Qnl Jackso,,. This is the same Harrison who voted to have a law passed by the Legisla ture of Ohio, to sell poor free men into slavery, if unable u pay a fine and costs in which they might be mulcted, tor violating any of the penal laws. This is ihe same Harrison who prolessed it to be his wish, to leave the subject of s'avery to the action of the 6lave holding States, and, at the same time, falsified thai assertion by agitat ing the subject in a non-slaveholding Stale, and declairing it as an object near -his hert to see the national surplus revenues used to manumit the slave. To create a surplus revenue, for this object near his fieart, he would doubtless have recourse to a liigh tariff. This is the same Har r;.n who asks the American people to make him iheir Chief Magistrate, on account of his This is the same Harrison who permits himself io oe euiogizeo as ine nero ol the Thames, when he was not within reach of a bullet during the fight. He knows that the true bepo of the Thames, hand to hand, laid ihe pride of the In dian warriors low, and is now Vice President or these United Slates. This is the same Har rison who, altera train of militarv hallucina tions, retired from the service of hin country in Ihe hottest of the war. Had he been a true pa'- oiiwvyiio. , rti rem example, he would have foughl in the ranks sooner ihan have retired while a single myrmydon of British oppression trod his native soil.

But they will not renounce Inm. they will cling to him, as to the prop of their liberties. When thev remember the difficulties occasioned by the suspension of seven hundred banks, which he encountered and overcame, at the verv threshold of his administration: and when they remember his moral intrepidity, and veneration lor the Constitution and laws, when his life was threatened by the same parly which now opposes his administration, unless he viola ted his oath by receiving depreciated paper money as a legal currencv, they will cling to l)im. When thev remember the amicable adjust ment of the late Canadian disturbances, and the fair slate of ihe North-Eastci n Boundary ques- ion, and when thev remember, that Congress, in consideration of the latter question, voted into his hands, ten millions ol money ami fifiy thou sand men, with unlimited powers for peace or war, and that not a single dollar nor a single ..... .i man, lias reen called uuo requisition, iney will cling to him. When they remember lhat the expenditures of the governmet (exclusive n those paid on account of the national debts, in 1837, over which he had little or no control) amounted to thirty-seven millions and a quarter, and that in 38 ihey were reduced nearly three millions and a nail, anu in sa were reduced seven minions more; and when they know that the estimates lor the present year, show a further curtailment of five millions, they will cling to him. When they remmember the advantageous treaties that have been completed with the Peru Bolivian Confederation, Holland, Greece and Sardinia, they will cling to him. When they re member the indemnities obtained of Mexico, Texas, Great Britain and Holland, for injuries sustained hy our citizens under preceeding ad ministrations, they will cling to him; and we will cling to him.

Because he has placed . himself under the control and keeping of a confidential committee, which we hold to be degrading in a m in aspiiing to the highest office in the ifi of a free people,- be cause his sentiments are kept concealed and with held' on all questions of fmporfanee to Southern in terests although frequently inrerro-atcd, of w h:th r.; lotto. ..f U:. vf- T r v.-. ...0 vue uia iiimiisj ..a . mi t ir .. ginia furnishes abundant evidence, in which letter he admits that, he w a 5' on term of soc'af intimacy with the then Prcsidi nt John Adams cf alien and sedition law memory.

We are in , favor of appealing to the judgment and not the pas- -sions of the people, that we look on the bacchanalian revalry of the Federal party as an insult to the un derstanding of every honest man. Resolved, That we are not opposed to welf irgiJ lated State Banks, bnt yet we believe that whilelhe bants enforce the obligation of those indebted, to them, tlrat they should be he-Id accountable to their " chartered priviledres and that we view the silence of the federal party on the present violation of char-' -t-red privileges by the banks, as dangerous to bur dearest interests.
