Out if it ia, it waa jlie ev prenaion of his own wishe and opinion merely, for which the opponent of the spoils mongers in this state, are in no w te responsible. How the whig of thia state would vote, if their choice was between Hani aonand Van Buren, it ia nn uitfieuli to tell. We believe they would vote for Gen. Harriaon. For although there are objections tn him, and in our estimation great objections, yet they are not to be compared to those azaittst Van Buren. He has not been nominated by an irres iMtnsible caucu nor dictated by the Presi dent, nor is he an advocate of that system of tactics, by which the people wherever it prevails are virtually enslaved to a few unprincipled and ambitious demagogues. The Sundaid miht spire "its sflecied fesrs about the election of an emancipa tionnt." lie who supitrts a Missouri Uestrielionist and District Abolitionist for President, and a practical amalgamator. for Vice President, need have no fear about Gen. Harrison's heterodoxy on thai subject, if it were true. But General Harrison, opposed as he is to slavery in the abstract, is not for emancipation, un less with the consent of the Mave holders, and believes llul Congress is clothed with no such power, a the folio ing extract fron a sihtcIi delivered by him in Vin ceoiesiiiL.d-aHtanou-Btavfho'.U'is.'staip in May lltfa, will ahew: Neither the I ...1.1 ....I ai.k,lil to Id.

In addition to thia it will ba recollect ed, that Gea Harriaon waa ia Congree from a non alaveholJing atate too, when the Uixaouri qocttion eame op. and in atead of joining tliat fanatical cruaade a did Mania Vaa Duren, from eonciaera liona looking to hia persona! advance went, he reacted it and toted with the oath, for whkh bo was beaten at the next election. Now wa put it to all honourable men, if it doea not require jut auch a man aa the lory editor to aupport Martin Van Burea. the M;toun Ktfdrieuonul and District Abolitionist. and to pretend to feel any apprehetiaione on the score of alave property from a man of Gen Harriaon opimona. We wish not to be miauuikratood. . e are among j those who believe that slavery, as it es . iu ia the eouihern states, is a blesaing i ruber t'l.o a curse. We know that Una opm,on differs from that of inauy at tha south, and when Gen. H.rrieWaaid be wihed to sec the day when the aun would not abine on an American a'ave, be eipressed the wih of many who are utterly opposed to the fanatics. But that ..

' Bui he a scrtouly charge J with the beinmia offence of associating with fe ltrat gentlemen. He plead gmliy he repecid the revolutionary services of President Adams, snd hsd paid him that Courtesy which waa due him as a man and aa chief magistrate He also associated with such men a John ar shall and James A.' Bayard w.s the acknowledgment of such tuilt to throw him out of the Dale of political ealvation? On ih other hand, he waa on intimate term wiib Mr. Gallatin, and with ihe whole Virginia delegation, among whom he had near kinsmen and dear friends. They were hia principal, associate in Philadelphia, in whose meas be had often m.l fhM irni)pfiin mho a now In accuser, and with whom he bad spent some of the happiest hours of Ins life. It was true, as the Senator alleged, he had been appointed Governor the N-mli WesMTii Territory by John Adam- io had he been by 'f nomas Jctfersoa and James Madison. , He was not ia Con gress when ihe standing army was creat ed, and the alien and sedition laws were pasted, and if he bad been he could not have voted for them, aud would not if he could. It was not in his nature to be a violent or proscriptive partisan, but be bad given a firm' support to the republi can administrations of Jafferson, Madi eon and Monroe." ' But if Gen. Harrison were a Federalist he was not one of that squad of Federal ists, deiroua of crippling the energies of the cott!) try. He waa not leagued with any party as w m that immaculate demo cratic candidate Martin Van Buren, io oapoaing James Majisou He was in the fidd braely deluding his country and repelling her foea. That Gen. Harrison waa a tariff man we ad nit is true. For that reason among others we decidedly prefer Judsre White. Bui it i inconceivable how those who sniviort Van Buren should expect to escape exciting the scorn an3 disgust of all honed men. when tney urge wis i i ohi-pnon aff iiiisi Harrison. Is I anv more a tariff man than Mr. V Buren or Dick Johnson, or did he e vole for the imposition of any tariff w they or either of them voted ag The standard knows ne aia not. w know not term strong enoti characterise as it merits it aha hvnocrisv. ti .nau tu m mstmr nf .umris fthe I.." .1... .v. ..,i.i ;,;f'en Harrison from its base calumnf are not surpnsed at it.

We should infer from the annexed ar ticles which appeared contemporaneously in two intelligent journals, several bum dred miles from each other, that soma mischief ia meditated by the Spoils party in regard to the surplus revenue; soma scheme for preventing the execution oi the law for distributing that surplus s tnongsl Ihe States. From the New tVk Express. Oct. 17. The Surplut Revenue. Then ia n9 doubt now that the Van Buren men io tend to make a el to the next session of Congress upon the surplus revenue, and to do away with the distribution if they can, notwithstanding General Jackson approved the law. Ay. it is even said on good authority, that General Jackson) himself wijl recommend ihe repeal! Thi is a .question, therefore, which should enter largely into the ensuing eleetiona. The Van Buren party look upon the sur plus revenue aa spoih, which they have a right to dispose of; and if they are sua ressful in the elections, they U un doubtedly, in ihe language of Governor .Marry, consider them as the spoilt of vicory. But however indifferent the country may' be to iheir creed, whica pronounces occs i the spoils of victory, we question very much whether the peo ple are as yet prepared to sanction the) claim, that the United State Treasury i the spoil of tic wry.. f No party in this country pretends to ssy that it is proper to raise money just to create a surplus revenue to disuinute among the people; but we did think whea General Jackson approved the late law, that all parties agreed that it was proper to distribute" among the people what sur plus might happen to be in ihe Treasury. We knew very well it was said wbe- tha law was passing that Mr Van Buren raw marked, we are in a bad box;" Km wt did not believe that even be would at tempt to nramz? his party agsinsi a law. hick f Md ao uaaaiaooely, and wbica I. ic' 4 t vJ "N -
