TO THE PEOPLE OF NORTH (CAROLINA. Fellow-Citizens The reckless pnrli- saus of Mr. Van Biiren, are 'endeavoring to fix on Gen. Harrison the charjiejnf having voted 16 sell poor while men for debt" We unhesitatingly pronounce n an! infamous falsehood and iShll endeavour to express the meaning and oSiject f the laws, to which he gave his suppotky and on which arc found ed this shameless calumny. ! The. first was a law signed by Qen Harrispn, fcen Gov ernor of Indiana, 1807; the other, a bill introduced into thMjOhio Legislature, in the year 1821, under hheither of thich was it intended to sell ofjbtre poor men for debt. bnt criminals, fellons, or thieves, for the fines and costs 'f incurred, as a penalty for their turpitude I Nor could such persons be sold or hired tinder either of said laws. except under peculiar circumstances. The Indiani law left i discretionary wUk the Court, and they were not expected to ex ecule it except in jose cases where the con vict had become hardened in crime and the facts of the case required its most ligid en forcemcnt. , But whence this sympathy for Crime which the rpaders.of the Van Buretv party exhibit ? U ijere ah honesi poor man in the CountrVw fig is willlina to be taxed to support criminals me n-w ho pilfer arid do violence? Is It just that the peaceable and honest portmh of the People should be compelled to taijo the bread put of jhe iildren to teed the lazv, prits who crowd our conn tinder this section then, one who was trulv and honestly insolvent could be diM - t . . ... . . h . !

If they had a sufficiency to: pay fa1 part of the fine and costs they coulil tute been discharged trom imprisonment jandei this jsection fortheiresiduo. This 37iHep lion, the Van Buren party have alway-slinpl pressed in pobtisriing the bill. Why ws ) his,i except to .-deceive ? il"-f.
