Harrison is unwilling that his opinions should be made known to his fellow citizens. This is untrue; nr.d the lnte conclusive refu tation of another infamous chorge, that he is "tinrffr the control of . a Committee, contained in his letter to iwr. Williams Ins speecn nt Columbus, niid his letter to the committee of the New York Legisla ture proves what little reliance is to be placed on the declarations of his opponents. His opinions on nil the great questions of the day have been freely and frankly made public. ... ' L Ha ii opposed To the Sub Treasury. 2.

AND THE VIO LATION OF A SOLEMN COMPACT, DO ANY THING TO REMOVE IT (SLAVERY) WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THOSE WHO ARE IMMEDIATELY INTERESTED." These principles have been very lately endorsed by Gen. II., ns his present unchanged doctrines in relation to the- subject of slavery! Moreover, on every subject which is ngitnting the public mind on all the great topics which" are intimately connected with tho per petuity of bur free institutions, his-principles have been given with tho.caiidoHr nnd firmness of mi old soldier; nnd it is only those who hare written him insulting niid scurrilous letters who will com plain. And it is a fact which should redound to tho infamy of Gen. Harrison's opponents, that at the very time they were charging him and relusing to be seen, lie was attending the Great Celebration ol the Battle of Fort Meigs-r-(at which there were 20,0CO people) mingling with his fellow citizens, and freely giving them his views on the po litical questions of live day. And we cannot fully express our indig nation our contempt for the foul and false charge contained in the late Addres? of the Van Buren Ceritrul Coitimitiee--thnt the Whig Party of North Carolina " had become lime-stTTing pnrtizans, and united xcilh . the. fanatics upon ihe same candidate."
