GKNK1.AI. HARRISON.
The cliiiin of Gen. Harrison upoiijh people of
the Soulh have been strongly urged, on accouut of
hi having sacrificed himself by bis vote on the
Miouri .question." ; ;-
We think we shall be able to satisfy oiir read
er, that however much he may deserve fur hav- (
ing dune hi duty, that we at Icait owe hint noth
ing for hi own sutlering, in that particular case.
It will be recollected, that , the vote which his
friend claim for him a given in 1819, and they
go on lo say, that be wa in 1622 beaten for Un-
gresa on account of that vow. Iet ua eeemow
tliia matter etand. lit? waa elected to Congresa
in 1616, and took hi seat in December, 1817 ; the
time for which be wa elected expired the 4th ot
March. 1819 in February, 1919, he gave the vote
of which. hi Southern friends boast so much ; the
impression exists in the mind of Ot great many
men, that he was turned out of Congresa for that
vote. Let u aee -by reference to Nile' Regt.
lor, vol. 2d., New' Series, page 391, date 1st Au
gust, 1818, we find the following-" Gen. Harrison
ba announced that he will jiot be a candidate for
Congress at the next election." Ia vol. Sd., page
175, dated 7th Nov., 1818, we find the following :
return., but it ia believed that Ethan Allen Brown .J
' Ohio -We have not yet received the complete
i elected Governor, and for Congress, I lioma
R. llos, vice Gen. Harrison retired." Now,
Gen. Harrison gave hi vote in February, 1819,
and o far from his having been turned out ol'Con
gress on this account, he had declined a ro-elec-tion,
and hi successor had been elected long be
fore the vote wa given. Missouri waa admitted
into the Union io 1820; whether Gen. II. would
have voted against the restriction at that time, had
he been in Congress, we shall hereafter ee.
" Lew, however, these thing shall be denied by
the Harrison men, we shall adduce evidence to
which they cannot object. In a pamphlet headed,"
" Please Tead and circulate" and -eotitleiA-aketch
of the life and public eervieea of Geo. Wil
ham II. Harrison," we find it atated, that in 1310,
he was elected by a large majority, a member of
tho House of Representatives in Congresa from
Ohio. In thi station, he served to his own honor
and to the satisfaction of hjflVnrt&tituent, until
1819; when upon theeroraiun.6Thia term of ser
vice, lie waa chosen to herjetiate of the State Le
gislaiure," Mark it-" He served to his own bon-

14th page, neaily at the bottom of the column. "
That was intended for circulation at the North,
nd not one word is said about his Missouri Vote,
and his having boen beaten on account of it. The
balance of tbe pamphlet was added to suit the
South. It is in this latter part, that we find this
accouut. Let ua examine how they tally. Turn
to page latuT you will find that he seived in
" Congress to the satisfaction of his constituents,"
and the evidence of it is, that they elected him in
tire same year to the Senate at borne. Turn to

HARRISON'S RE-APPEARANCE IN CINCIN
NATL . . :"
The Cincinnati paper brought the news, a day
or two since, of the re appearaiiee in Cincinnati
f-he-weraniiated "randidaTO "ofTede'raliafu.' .
1'he public i well apprised that it had become the '
fixed policy of hi committee of Federal keeper,
Messrs. Wright, Gwyune, and Spencer, to keep
htm at hi home, at the North Bend, so thai he .
might not fall in the way of any excitement and '
curiosity, and be induced to break through the
restraints of silence Id which he had agreed to
submit. Unluckily for the federal managers, the
old gentleman appeared at Cincinnati, unexpected
ly, on the day that Mr. Buchanan, Speaker of the
Ohio House of Representatives, bad appointed toad- -dress
the people ou the subject of the Presidential
election. Among other thing, Mr. Buchanan
adduced a statute of the Indiana Territory, sanc
tioned by Harrison, when Governor, providing lor
the tale of persons, in satisfaction of judgments
"for fines and costs," nA superadding " whipping,"
in cae of " absconding," to show JbaLJheObio
statute for which he voted, many years afterwards, .
was out a new expression oi me settled opimis or
the lawgiver who Would make slavery the penalty
toreverypiec man could
not atone in money, while it gave perfect impani
ly to lb man whose purse war sufficient to "buy
off the penalties of the law, and so exempt his per
son Irom even the (.lightest inconvenience for the
wrongs perpetrated on others. . By tbia code, in
troduced by Harrison in Indiana, at Gorernor-
kr, by the ordinance of the I erntorrr no bill
or iegufat.ee act whatever shall be of any force,
without bis (tbe tiovernor s; asseeni" a man vlio

rnMiaTassaiiiir on "the leeble."" He could absolve
himself instantly by paying (lie fine. & poor rnan."
on tho contrary, dare not, resent an insult ollered
him, lest he might not be able to satisfy the fine
imposed upuu him by the court, otherwise than by
submitting to the degradation of being sold into
bondage, This law was but a revival of Ihci
haughty patrician code of Rome in its wort days,
of the worjkiug of which Gen. Harrison' favor
ite reading in Roman history could not have fail
ed to furnish lnin a striking example, ia that fa
mous patrician boxer of immense strength and
wealth, who amused himself sometimes in traver.
ing the street of Rotee, knocking down liie hon-'
Tst citizens ss they passed along, with one hand,-
and then tendering mem the fine with the other.
In bringing up the remembrance of this'old
Harrison statute of Indiana, to illustrate thia Ohio
legislation, Mr. Buchanan said nothing to justify
the outbreak of which the Federal Presidential can
didate was guilty in the streets of Cincinnati, as
will be seen from the correspondence we annex.

law by which poor white men might be aold kit

Gen. Harhson, who might have put his veto on it.
and Irom that veto thereuould be no appeal, ainl
der the ordinance the veto-of the Governor u
fiual. The observation of Mr. Buchanan wa aV
reeled against the Federal Whig pany, and not
against General Harrison in particular he there,
lore most certainly did not deserve the coar. .j
ll-beral remark, applied to linn by the General ia
the public street.
" Il is with feelings of great regret, that ... i..
ty to the public at this eventful crisis, oblige u, (
puuuciy nonce i ins outrage ol the csndidals lor

the fitness of the Genelral for the Presidency, thi?
combined with his silly conduct upon aoother'occa.

number of electoral votes.-would bave confirmed
us in the opinion that he ia ,nol qualified for th
office."- -f-- -- -,:y.
- How the Federal candiduto for the Presidewv '
demeaned himself on the occasion, will be seen bi
the following letter, written by a rcBpectable rneZ
ber of Congress froiuhartistricl, and wlio bti
himself been called by the suffrage of the people
to important trusts. The act ol outrage in th,
streets of Cincinnati can be proved by the tcsti.
inonjr of hundreds. '
