a bank candidate. Els he declared himself a
painst chartering a United States Bank as Mr.
'Van Buren has ? Are not all the bank men
lor him? Did not they join U his nomination 1
Are not the two parties at issue on this question,
and Tan Buren and lirrisoo the opposing can
didates? One of our accusers ha bui Ltely
made a speech in his place; declaring himself
in favor of such bank, and we ask our col
leagues if they can name a bank man in Con
gress that is not for Harrison.
&- We .have called him. also, the Federal candi
date:. Is this slander ? Oar colleagues say they
"will" t anvtime. compare notes" on thi3 sub-
:.,- Tf mean bv this lhat thev can show'
as many Federalists on our side as on theirs,
we think they are grossly mistaken. We be
lieve" the Federalists very generally support
They-say "they can prove hundreds of Feder
alists on our side." This may possibly be so,
but it rs certain, and requires no proof, that there
are thousand's en theirs. And he is not only
supported by the Federalists, but a Federalist
himself i so pronounced by Andrew Jackson and
John Randolph. . .
The laws we have been examining certainly
show"$tr'ong symptoms of-thaulisease ; and trere
a re" ma jiy, facts which we should suppose would
nut his Federalism beyond question.
i . . .. . ."r :L j:
Taice his speech m lavor oi me sianumj ur-
fers to the people who desire to see or speak .to
General Harrison. in order, to know ' his opin
ions, which, he says "ha is determined not to
stive either to friend or foe." ,- Whence say "he
refuses' to be seen ar spoken to," we plainly
mean for this purpose on this subject. We did
uet mean that he shut himself up from view and
refused to be spoken to on any subjVct. ' Nobody
could fiirly so understand us. May not a man
be said to deny access to his fellow-citizens, ei
iber approaching him by writing or in person, in
order to learn "his opinions, if hg declares that
he will hot answer them, as': General Harrison
admits he has clone1?. Is not such a declaration,
such an avowed refusal to answer, a refusal to
be seen or spoken to for that purpose ? . This is
all we meant ; and this our colleagues are bound
to defend in their candidate; and this he his
himself made it impossible; forhem or any body
else to do, as in 1822 he publicly declajed
that candidates before the people are bo.und to
answer all reasonable inquires. His letter. to
that effect has been published. And .now it is
to be seen .whether, in a Government lik ours,
any man can stand before the people, a candi
date for their suffrages, and refuse to state his
political opinion--; and; the principles by which
he will govern his official conduct. We think it
is an instill to the understandings of a free peo
ple, for any: man to ask their confidence under
such circumstances.
We have no wt. we think, most clearly. shown
that our, colleagues are guilty of ail they, have
charged ipin us, and that we have stated noth-
-inc'bur whaFis true as to (jte.xx. Harrison in uif
Indiana law, 'and also as to his vole iti- unio
mv of the-elder Adtms. Our colleagues may i fourteen years afterwards, carrying out the same
find it in the Aurora of the 5th February, 1800
They know that tliis was a test question between
the Federal and Democratic parties of that day.
He spoke in favor of this strong leading Feder
al measurein support of this measure, of the
Federal administration ef John Adams. His
speech was on the 9ih of January, 18Q0. On
the 12 h of May, following, John Adams (we
presume he was a" Federalist) appointed him
Governor of Iridhna. Here then is a man sup
porting Federal measures, and receiving an ap
pointment from a Federal Administration. It is
trne he was atterwards re-appointed by Jefferson
and -by Madison te the same office ; but this does
not show he was not a Federalist, even then.
And again we find him in favor, when John
Quincy Adams, came into office, and he receiv
ed an appointment from him, from which Gen
eral Jackson thought proper to recall him, great
ly to the displeasure of the Federalists. And
finally, we presume you all have seen, certain
ly our colleagues have, ihe debate in the Senate
in which John Randolph -charges him with this'
sin. We hare read that debate, and we think-
no unprejudiced man can read it, without say
ing (even if there was no other proof in the
cse) that we have not shndered him by calling
him the Federal candidate.
And lastly, we have called hitn the Abolition
candidate ; and we beg you to remark what our
colleagues have said as to this:
"Nothing is more susceptible of proof than the
fact, that the Abolitionists have nominated candi
dates of their own, and that they are opposing
Harrison, shoulder to shoulder, with the Van Bu
ren party."
Here is an assertion that the Abolitionist3 are
opposing Harrison, shoulder td shoulder, with
the Van Buren party. Any thing eq'ial in bold
ness, in the way of assertion, to thi, we hive
never seen, either from Abolitionists or Feder
al Whigs. Well might we retort upon our arc-users,
"Of shame, where is thy blush? Ol
conscience, where was iiiv voice?" Do oar
colleagues really believe that the Abolitionists
are opposing Harrison are united with the Van
Buren party ?'T Do they. imgine that you can
be made to believe this in the face of all that you
daily see and hear? We presume the "course
of a party can be seen in its. newspapers and
publications; and did not all the Abolition pa-
pars raise a shout of triumph, and the .bmanei-

Mr. Lohino: -1 have just seen a communi
cation published in the Star, dated at Williams
ton, which does injustice to Gen. Saunders,'
and us I know the facts of the rase alluded to, I
carmot refrain from setting the matter right. I
was then and am now the Chairman f the
County Court of Martin. The Justices, at Jan
uary Term did fu'l to assess the County and
parish Taxes for the want of -a majority.- At
Februaty Term oi theuperior Court, the At
torney General teas applied to by the County
Officers to indict the Justices. A bill was ac
cordingly drawn, which . required . considerable
labor, and passed. At April Term of the Coun
ty Court, the Wardens of the Poor, applied to
the Court, a majority being pfesent, and they as
sessed the. Parish Taxes, '.which the Statutes aur
th'orised. Haviog thus supplied .ihe neglect
I. where 4t yas important, the pountyvBot suffer
ing for want or bounty Taxes. .1 was told by
a large portion of the Magistrates that if the
prosecution was pressed, they Avould certainly
resign. At August Term of the Superior Court,
I applied to Gen. Saunders', made the repre
sentation of the facts cf the case as above stated,
and informed him, that the situation of the Coun
ty, I. verily believed, would be much .worse, as
we should be deprived of a large portion of our
Magistracy, and proposed to him myself that the
Justices would compensate him for his labor a
boui the matter, arid that I thought one dollar
each would do so. He replied, that upon this
representation, he would not press it, and would
enter & nolle prosequi, as he thought it would be
better for the interests of the County. I attended
myself, every day of Jan. Term, and know that, if
the indictment had been pressed, Gen. Sauxders
would have realized double the amount he re
.ceired in fes. I did not discover the alarm at
tributed to the Justices, but they did manifes
great dissatisfaction, in being subjected to a pro
secution for one omission of duty at an inclement
season of the year, when man)' of them had
faithfully served the County "for a series of years
without a cent of compensation ; and particular
ly, when the county "was not to suffer in conse
quence of that neglect. The nolle prosequi was
entered,. and I requested the Justices to pay the
compensation which I had suggested. Those
paid who chose, several paid nothing, and thus
the matter ended. As.an act of Justice to Gen.
Saunders, you are authorised to give this pub
licity. LAWRENCE CHERRY.

Have we not had openly published the address

opposing Van Buren in supporting Hirrison?
No man can be blind to the fact that the main

renounce the help of these associates, and their
cause is desperate. We see the garde now play

Abolition society, published by General H. him-,
self in- 1822, accompanied with the declafation
that he has been true to the principles he then
assumed ; and these, too, are to be shpwu to the
Abolitionists, but kept out .of the newspapers,
that they may not be seen to the South. And is
it seiiously thought that, with all this before
you, you can be weakenough to be cheated by
these shallow artifices and confident assertions.
It is true the Abolitionists may have nominated
a candidate of their own. But who believes
that they are suh fools as to throw away their
votes upon him, avowing, as they do, the most
thorough and determined hostility to Van Bu
ren, who has exhibited but one face on thissub
jeer to both North and South, defying the Aboli
tionists. .
With all these things before them, our col
leagues assert that the Abolitionists are united
with the Van Buren party and opposing Harri
son. Sorely we need not fear the charges of misre
presentation brought against us by men who can
say this.
There remains, we believe", but one other ac
cusation. against us. It is that we have charged
Gen. H. with refusing to be seen.orlto speak to
the people. Ourxolleagues affect to understand
us literally as asserting that Gen. 11.. could. not
be seen and would not speak to any person on
any subject. They show how he goes about
making speeches that h therefore must be
en, and does speak to many people. It is r
diculou8 to suppose we intended to be so under

they could.neither deny nor defend it. Taking

Mr. LohiNG : I was Clerk ofMartin Sune-

rior Court at the time of the commencement of
the prosecution above alluded to, and know, the
dissatisfaction manifested by" the Justices, and I
wns informed that a large portion of the Alagis
trates would resign, if the prosecution was pres
sed. This charge hss been spoken of. in this
county, and I hesitate nottoay explained, to the
satisfaction of .all. (except some few clamorous
" Whigs") Finding it will not take here, the
anonymous correspondent of the Star, lias con
cluded it is best to transfer it to some other lati
tude, and endeavors, to give the impression,
that many Democrats in this County, will not
support Gen. Saunders in consequence of it.
This conclusion I pronounce utterly unfounded,
as I have had opportunities of ascertaining the
opinion of the people of this County, and hesi
tate not to say, and in this I am confirmed by a
large portion of the Democrats in this County,
who have the means of judging, that, I verilv
believe, the Democratic cause is on the increase
here, and that Gen. Saunders will receive a
larger majority than we have given. in any elec-

indeed be. weak to resort to such pitiful expedi

sume it is looked upon by no lawyer in that

discover some new" law book, in which it is thus
laid down, that has not yet found its way into a

A "WHIG" DIVINE.
At a religious meetingrecently held in a village on
Whitewater, Indiana, the officiating "Divine" in his
prayer, proceeded to utter thanksgivings that manv
also had been convinced of the sin of Democracy ;
that they had seen the error of the Sub-Treasury,
and' had: turned from Martin Van Buren and Loco
Focoismto the marvellous light of Whiggcry ! The
preacher rose from his knees, and said "let us con
tinue the solemn exercises of the eveniug by sink
ing a hymn !" "and as the account says, "then beck
oned to some one among the audience, who arose &
began to sing a Tippecanoe song, in which a few
whigs and boys united. Then the preacher tak
ing a text, and again rising and prostituting the
form of that religion- of which I am told he is an
ordained minister, delivered apolitical haraneue
containing the usual stale falsehoods about the ex
travagance of the Administration, the hard times
the ruined credit of the countryj and changes that
wrere going on for Harrison and hard cider " ' YVW
suppose this 13 what John Adams called moving
"Heaven and Earth" to accomplish the purposes
of the whiggery If this is the sort of "religion"
of which the "whigs" boast that they have nil

f ; . HARUIO HALL AGAIN
1 Men WhoHerote their jutpntioa to the cultiva
tion of taste, and apply their talents to the improve
ments of art,' are, in some sorthe benefactors of
mankind ; and although virtuous aspirants for an
honest fame in architectural as well as other scien
ces, may become the subjects of envious cavillings,
yet the consciousness of having benefitted mankind
and "served the State," must be a source of balmy
comfort to the poor persecuted creatures, like unto
the breezes of a July evening, inhaled by a hard-ciderite-
...
We are constrained to these, remarks in contem
plating the meritorious exertions of the Tippeca
noe Club," in connection wkh the whiggery of tie
city of Raleigh, in erecting a building on the prin
cipal street of our city, which appears' to be as much
the pride and boast of the the whiggery aforesaid,,
as the Capitol itself and we do entreat all travel
lers and strangers, who come within fifty miles of
the city,, whether natives or foreigners, not to de
part from our State without gloating their eyes en
this "sublime and beautiful" specimen of architect
ural grandeur i
We shall not attempt a. description of this monu
ment of the taste and "talents" of the decency. It
is a "beautiful monster a most rare monster !'? It
islooked upon by the whiggery as the f'horn of their
political salvation." It may indeed be typically
caHed a Horn, through which passeth a great deal
of wind to the four corners of the city. A very

Thus farjnto the merits of Jhe Log- Cabin, had
we passed, when we received the following letter.
As this requites our first attention, we shall defer
other remarks on "."Harrison .Hall" . for the present.
Friday Morning July 17, 1840.
Dear Sir: In order to relieve the friends of the
Administration from heir painful anxiety on the
subject, we beg leave to state, that the plank, &c,
procured from the State Hoas.' was purchased and
paid for the same having been directed to be sold
ty the commissioners ; that the flag used by the
Club is private property, and does not belong to the
State or the people pf the State; and that, not be
ing "Southern men with Northern principles," we
have not-allowed Negroes, either typically or con
structively, to become. members of the Club, or to
attend its meetings. . "
Yours, very respectfully,
For the Wake Tippecanoe Club,

We had, before receiving the above, heard that
the lumber was measured, several days after it
naa been put in the cabin, and paid for. We also
hear .that another fag is now used, instead of ih
one belonging to the State.
If Messrs. Hughes and TVhiling, or any other re
spectable gentlemen of the "Whig" party, -will say
that the lumber was bargained for and agreed to be
paid, for before it was taken from the Cam'to
Squae; and that the flag now used is the only one
that has been used about the Cabin, on their own
knowledge, we will cheerfully lay that evidence be
fore the .people.
We assure our "Whig" neighbors that thefriend
of the Administration are under no "painfuTanxie

THE TRICKS OF WHIGGERY.
The British Whigs of Ohio have adopted the
"secret circular" system, in. addition to their other
arts of duplicity. The Ohio Statesman publishes
a Letter of this sorr, marked "private and confi
dential," signed by one Alfred Kelly as Chair
man of a Whig Committee, and not intended for
the "public eye." " " "
The Letter says :
" We cannot rely upon reason and argument to
convince the great mass of the people of their
political errors: but they must be reached through
their sufferings."
And again : "
"We must chanje home unceaaina-lv ,,nAn tfio

SIGNS OF GRACE.
The whiggery in Broadalbin, Fulton county, in
the. State of New York, lately erected one of those
"stupendous fabrics" of "whig" argument called'.
og cabin. But here the historian does not stop.
Under the operations of a "speck" of shame, they
had the grace to pull it down. The account says
that "on. the 4th of July,. 1840, there assembled in
the town of Broadalbin, Fulton county, some 100
Feds, and, in a pe'aceable and quiet manner, sur
rounded their log cabin, tore it from its foundation,
and buried it without the honors of war. This log
cabin was two days old, and was fairly murdered

By such vile tricks as these enumerated in this

An intelligent people cannot become the victims of
deceit so monstrous !
HIGH HANDED AFFAIR.
We learn, from the Indiana Democrat, that there
are more symioms of the increase of "Harrison
tock." That paper says it is a fact that cannot be
denied, that a party of Negroes, to tbe number of
fifty, lately held a convivial party on the canal boat
which plies to and from Broad Ripple. They had the
Harrison-flag ging, and on tle bow and stern of
the' boat they had flags with the names of Harri
