There are two qualifications lacking in the charac-
tor of Gen. Harrison, which neither riches, property,
or honesty, can compensate for. He wants the talents
required lor the proper exercise of the powers vested in
the' President of a Great Nation ; and he holds political
principles which ate repudiated by s democratic repub-
lican people, who alone can raise him or any other can-
didate to. that dignified station. Either of these two
renders them unnt lor the ottice, let them be ever so

is uooii these
grounds, alone that we would ever oppose the election
