He advocated the election of Mr. Jefferson, and warmly maintained his claims, against Mr. Adams." - Then onr proof does not rest on an anonymous letter writer : it is on the character and standing of a man of the very highest respectability, con firaoed incidentally oy the acquiescence of some thousands of the people of Cincinnati who heard these words and have never contradicted them. The charge too, of Gen. Harrison's belonging to an Abolition Society, has been indignantly de nied by the Wbig papers of the city of hi for mer residence they pronounce it a gross slan dert and defy (he authors of it lo the proof. We have often said, and again assert7, that Mr. Van Boren cannot clear himself from this imputation with half the ease and fullness with which Gen era! Harrison's friends have repelled its applica tion, to him. He did support the restriction in the Missouri case : He did admit the power of Congress to legislate on tie subject for the Dis trict of Columbia. These stubborn facts stand against him and cannot be denied. If half this proof could be brought against Gen. Harrison, we should hesitate lb go for him, but we are per fectly satisfied that no suspicion rests on his course. By tbe way, there is something of that un fairness in the correspondent of the Caroliniao which characterizes almost every thing we have seen in that paper .concerning the ' Fine old. true-hearted gentleman" Harrison. With an air of candor, be makes an extract in which is included the substance of the quotation which we have given above from Jodge Burnett's speech, and pronounces the lesliraony' "plau sible ;" but say that the Richmond W hig; from which il is taken, did not give; the name of the author, and he therefore declares that the author wm uaJtuoien." How ibis, may have taken place as to the Whig we cannot say; but the cor. respondent of the Carolinian" seems too familiar with passing events to suppose he had not seen jths sameV! plausible t eaf tmony" or Gen. Ham son's Republicanism in many of the Whig jour nals purrrtiVg to be' a partxif Judge Burnett's speech : JTbe tenuf and much of ibe phraseology is identical In all the extracts and this quoted.
