lieu. Harrison and .Missouri Restriction.
One of the most glaring and disgraceful at
tempts to impose upon the people of the South,
we have ever witnessed, has recently been made
La the columns of the Globe, by parading certain
extracts from the Journals of the Senate of Ohio,
endeavoring to prove that General Harrison was
in favor of Missouri Restriction. The leaders of
the Van Bureu party well knowing how vulner
able Mr. Van Buren was on that subject, have
-struggled hard to place General Harrison in the
same category, notwithstanding their perfect
knowledge, that he voted with the South to ad
mit Missouri into the Union without Restriction,
hi the Congress of IS 19.—Altho’ we knew* the
Van Buren organs at the South to ce reckless*
we did not suppose that any one of them would
bo so lost to even - principle of truth and fair deal
ing, as to have united with the Globe in this des
perate effort, t» impose upon the people of the
South, but we have been mistaken. We had
given them credit for an honesty of purpose
■which they do not merit, at least the Standard of
Union has already shown itself to be unworthy*
and it remains to be seen how many more o
them will follow in its footsteps. That paper
with a boldness and effrontery, which marks the
desperation of its cause, has essayed to establish
■the same charge upon Gen. Harrison, by quoting
Iro n the Journals of the Ohio Senate. If we
could suppose for a moment, that the Editor of
the Standard of Union was ignorant of the facts
of the case, he would excite our sympathies for an
individual who should, shrouded in such ignor
ance, attempt to conduct a leading party
but he has no claims of that sort, upon our chari
ly, and he stands charged before the country, and
-we will show that he is guilty, of attempting to
deceive the people, by endeavoring to prove that
lobe true, which he knew to be false.
To establish this fact, and to make it plain to
our readers, we must refer them to the early his
tory of the country, and state a few facts connect
ed with that history. The first is, that the North
Western Territory, is that portion of Territory
East of the Mississippi river, and North of the
Ohio River, which now forms the States of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin Territory. The
Northwestern Territory was organized by Con
gress, on the 13th day of July, 1787. The Glh
Article of the ordinance of organization is in the
following language :
Art. 6. “ There shall be neither slavery nor
‘'involuntary servitude in the said territory, (the
Northwestern Territory.) otherwise than in
“ punishment of crimes, whereof the party shall
“have been duly convicted :
Again, the Territory of Louisiana is that por
tion of country, lying West of the Mississippi,
and North of the Gulf of Mexico, and now forms
the States of Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri
This Territory was ceded by the French to the
U. States. The 3rd article of that treaty is in the
following language;
Art. 3. The inhabitants of the ceded territory
shall be incorporated in the Union of the United
Stales, and admitted as soun as possible, accord
ing to the principles of the federal constitution,
to the enjoyment of all the rights, advantages,
and immunities of citizens of the United Slates ;
and in the mean time they shall be maintained
and protected in the free enjoyment of their liber
ty. properly, and the religion which they profess
Then, wc perceive, that according to the Ordin
ance of Congress,which was in aceordai.ee with the
treaty stipulati ins, ceding the North Western
Territory, that slavery could not be introduced
into any of the Territory, which now forms Ohio,
Indiana. Illinois and Michigan.
Again, by the article of the treaty which ceded
dis Territory of Louisiana, the Government of
the United Hla tea pledged itself in the 3d article
of the treaty, to protect the properly ul the till,
zonsof that territory, and those citizens were tha
owners of slaves, and that Territory now forms
the States of Louisiana, Arkansaw and Missouri.
General Harrison entered Congress on the
fourth of March 1817, and his term expired on
tlie 4th of March 1819—during That sess on of
Congress the Missouri question was introduced,
and Gen. Harrison, voted for her admission allow
iii slavery, but she was not then admitted. At
the next session ou the 6th day of March 1820,
she was admitted in accordance with the terms
of the Treaty- After Gen. rlsrrison’s term in
Congress expired on the 4th of March 1819, be
was elected to the Senate of Ohio, and while in
that body on the 3rd of March 1820. Mr.
Thompson’ a’Senutor, introduced a resolution
requesting their Senators and Representatives in
Co.,gross to oppose the introduction of Missouri
into the I nion, unless Slavery was prohibited ;
to this resolution Gen. Harrison moved to strike
out all after the word resolved, and insert the fol
lowing :
“ That our Senators and Representatives be re
quested to use their utmost exertions, and take
eve y meins to prevent the extension of slavery
within the Territory of the United States, West
of the Mississippi, and the new States to be formed
within tiiat Territory, which the Constitution
and Treaties made under it. will allow.”
The motion to strike out was lost, and on the
motion adopt the orginal resolution of Mr. J
1 hompson, Gen. Harrison voted against it. The 1
Resolution was adopted and sent to the House .
for concurrence, and the house, struck out the ;
preamble and resolution and adopted the follow
ing resolution :
“ That our Senators and Representatives in
Congiess, be requested to use their utmost exer
tions, by every constitutional method, to pre
vent the admission of slavery in any State or Ter- j
ritory of the Union, where slavery does not exist, ,
to prevent the further extension where it has been ■
introduced, and that they be further requested to
oppose the admission of any State into the Union,
unless the further extension of slavery within
such Stale, &e expressly prohibited.”
Ok its return to the Senate, (Mr. Lucas,) a
Missouri restrictionist, moved to disagree to the
amendments of the House, —which motion was
adopted, Gen. Harrison voting in the negative.
This is a plain statement of facts, which the
records of the country prove beyond the possibil- ;
ity of a doubt.—Can any man see anything in
these proceedings in the Ohio Legislature which .
would induce the suspicion that Gen. Harrison
was a Missouri restriclionist. On the contrary
does not his amendment fully prove that he was
opposed to restriction and that he was in favor of
admitting Missouri in accordance with the terms
of the treaty for the Territory of Louisiana, which
expressly secured Slavery,
But lest there should be any who doubt the ;
soundness of General Harrison on this question, i
we give his own language in defence of his vote
in Congress, and in the Ohio Senate, which is
conclusive. It is in the following words :
“ Congress had no more legal or constitutional
right to emancipate the nagroes in those sections
of Louisiana, (Missouri and Arkansas.) without
the consent of their owners, than they have to free !
those of Kentucky—these people were secured in !
their property by a solemn covenant with France,
when tho country was purchased fiona tiiat power.”
But while we are on this subject, it will be
well enough to examine in what relation Mr.
Van Buren stood to this question of Missouri
restriction. Can you answer, friend Torn, of
the Standard 1 Mr. Van Buren was in the Le
gislature of New York, uniting with the federal
ists, to instruct the Senators to vote against the
admission of Missouri, with slavery. Yes, Mr.
Vaji Buren paid no regard to the Treaties of the
United States, which are declared to be the su
preme law of the land, but he was zealous in en
deavoring to violate that treaty, and to prohibit
the admission of Missouri, and he also voted to
keep Arkansaw*, a part of the same Territory, as
we have shown, out of the Union, unless she
prohibited slavery. Verily, the Van Buren fol
lowers are pressed to find Fuch an objection,
(even if it were true,) to General Harrison, while
they support such a man as Martin Van Buren,
who also voted to prohibit slavery in Florida.
Jeffersonian Republicans.
As the Locofocos set up exclusive claims to the
possession of the Jeffersonian principles, we com
mend to their special attention the following no
tice addressed to office holders. Perhaps they
can define in what manner Mr. Van Buren is car
rying out the principles of Mr. Jefferson, by bis
sanction of the open and bold interference in State
elections by his subalterns.
To Office Holders. —Extract from a circular
addressed by Mr. Jefferson to his office holders,
soon alter his election.
“One thing I would say, that, as to the future
interference in elections, whether of the State or
General Governments, by tjlicers of the latter ,
should be deemed cause of removal ; because the
constitutional remedy by the elective principle be- ;
comes nothing, if it may be smothered by the enor
rn ms patronage of the Geneial Government.

Macon Convention.
The preparations which are making in Macon,
for the reception of the friends of Harrison, Tyler
and Reform, at the August Convention, we are
much pleased to learn, are of the most extensive
and commodious character. Let our friends in
every section of the State appoint delegations,
large delegations, to represent them on that im
portant occasion. Let them appoint such mem
bers of the party as will go. and in as great num
bers as they please, the accommodations will be
ample, and it will be altogether the greatest day S
which has ever been witnessed in Georgia.

i A writer in your paper of last week, under the
. signature of “ Aristides addressed the Union
party—spoke of the policy of placing Cooper, Col
quitt, and Black, on the Congressional ticket As
that writer observed, he would have nothing more
to say on the subject at present, all >w me to add
to his suggestions on such a course, what I should
, think the common sense of rny party would at
once approve as the best policy. It is this: Let
the Union party allow Colquitt, Cooper and Black,
to “ fight on their own hook,” —constitute a sepa
rate, independent ticket. They will get no votes
from the Union party, and all they will receive
will be from our old opponents, their latfe associ
ates. Just as many, therefore, as they draw from
our opponents, will be, in effect, added to our side.
This is the only way to insure our party’s success ;
and if it does not recoin nend itself to the common
sense of every one, I am myself very deficient ia

Degradation of the Appointing Power.
The following letter from a highly respectable
gentleman in New Haven, shows the subjection
of the President, in his appointments, to party
cabals. Mr. Van Burcn, will, of course, com
ply, in this case, with the decision of his parti
sans, and call it “conforming to the wishes of the
people!”
Extract of a lelterdated,
“New Ha vex. June 18, 1840.
“ I write to inform you of the recent proceedings
of the friends of the Administration in this city,
in relation tn the appointment of post master.
“ Mr. Jones’term expires this month, he is a
devoted partisan, but his office is too rich a re
ward for the hungry retainers of th ■ President to
permit him to keep it longer. About two months
340, the question was started, “who will get the
post office 1” Intimations were received from
head quarters, that some indication of the wish
es of the party on this subject would be agreea
ble to the powers that be. A meeting was cal
led, and a ballot taken ; the result was that Mr.
Jones had the greatest number of votes, though
there being nineteen candidates, no one had a
majority. This was communicated to Washing
ton, but the President still unwilling to take, the
responsibility, asked for further instructions, and
suggested that measures should be taken to bring
the party to some definite result. Accordingly,
the “Democratic Committee” made arrangements
for obtaining a certain indication of the wishes
of the party on the subject. The polls were open
ed yesterday, and are to he kept open until this
evening, a presiding officer, challengers, ticket
distributors, carriages, runners, and all the usual
accompaniment of an election are on the ground,
and the canvass is proceeding with great zeal and
| spirit.—There is, however,one feature that dis
-1 linguistics this from any election for a public
; officer that was ever held in Connecticut. A ma
jority of the people are not allowed the privilege
of voting. The friends of the Administration
in New Haven number about. 800—they are. by
the direction o.'the Presidei t, called upon to bring
in their votes for him whom they will have for
post master, while the- opponents of Van Burcn,
numbering 1400, have no voice in the matter, and
this they call democracy. When a man presents
himself at the polls, he is asked, “Arc you a Dem
ocrat I” “Ves.” “ Did you vote for Van Burcn?”
“ I did.” “Do you intend to vote for him again ?”
—“Can’t say. hut rather think not.” “Stand
aside, you can’t vole.” Now, it is a notorious
fact, that seven-eighths of the amount received at
the office here are paid in by the opponents of the
Administration and yet, according to the cr®ed
of the gicathigh priest of Federal Loco Focoism,
they are entitled to no voice in the mailer. If
‘ the President will perform the duly which the
law imposes upon him, we have no objections to
his appointing whom he pleases; hut we do
protest against his undertaking to procure atv
expression of popular will by referring the
subject to the votes of a faction. Our citi
zens feel indignant at these proceedings, and ma
ny who have been among the staunchest adher
ents of Van Buren openly express their disgust.

Washingtox, May 28th, 1840,
My dear sir—l take the liberty to enclose you
an address and Prospectus for the Extra Globe,

clination and sense of duty to use them for the
purpose of procuring and returning subscribers.

Mr Amos Kendall:
Sir—Vour letter and circular came safely by
mail, free of postage—and that I may not be cen
sured, I have concluded to return you your cir
cular, that you may have the opportunity ofsend
ing it by mail, and of course free, to some other
man, who possibly may consider it an honor to
join in slandering and traducing, for individual
gain, the private character of William Henry
Harrison, who only captured a British army to
entitled him (in your elegant language) to the
appellation of a muck Hero. —You state that the
sluml»ers of your children are disturbed by the
firing of Whig guns, I believe that the same
thing happened once or twice before. The ene
mies of America have always had a peculiar dread
of Whig guns. But, sir, I take great pleasure to
inform you, and through you, Mr. Van Buren,
that he may take his rest as far as regards my
children. They arc not so easily frightened by
gunpowder, though they feel very indignant a?
Mr Poinsett’s militia scheme, which His Excel- j
leucy recommended, though he never saw it, |
The commission which I hold, if Mr Van Burcn
thinks it is a security for my vote, I herewith in
form him, through you, is at his call; and it gives
me more pleasure to offer it than Tlie honor of
retaining it could confer.—l have come to the con
clusion that America does not entirely depend
upon the election of any one man as President,
though I am not so very certain that your pension
is so free from its dependence on the re-election
of Mr Van Buren.
You slate that Gen. Harrison is, in your clas
sical language, a longueless candidate. I have
never seen the gentleman—therefore you and Mr.
Van Buren, of course, know more of him than I
do. I wish you to get Mr. Van Buren, who has
a tongue, to answer the foilowingquestions : Did
you not vote to instruct Rufus King to oppose the
admission of slavery in Missouri ? Did you not
vote against James Madison in 1812 ? Did you
not vole for the 'Tariff of 1828 ? Dkl you never
see or hear of Mr. Poinsett’s army project until
it was calkd for by a resolution of Congress ?
And will you not endeavor to have that project
carried into effect, if you are re elected ? Did
you not sanction the admission of negro testimo
ny in Lieut. George M. Hooe’s trial before a naval
cnuit martial ? I hope, my dear sir, that you and
the President, whom I take to be one and the
same in fact, will loosen your longues, and inform
your friend, as you style rne in your letter. You
know that the People are not quite ready for a
Monarch, and a little decency is still necessary to !
be used, in order to reconcile them to their lots.—
Some, I suppose, will feel highly honored to he
appointed cradL-minders for your dear children !
Sweet bal>es! lie still and slumber. Democrats
guard thy heads, and Treasury pap, without num
ber, fall thickly around thy beds! lamat a loss
to name a person in this county who is willing to
act as cradle-nurse for your nervous offspring.
Tell Dr. Niles that I owe him an apology; but as
he is solely dependant on you for his bread, and,
permit me to add, office, that whenever you shall
have selected my successor. I am ready to resign.
With something short of respect,
I subscribe mvself,

Humanity of Gen. Hat risen.
The Albany Argus, the leading organ of Van
Burenism in New York, is now among the fore
most in uttering slanders against Gen. Harrison. I
Such is the temper of that print, fit emblem of the ;
destructive party which it serves, that it would
destroy the character of the veteran, and even
haunt him to death, merely for the crime against
the spoilers, of having been named by the people
as their candidate for the Presidency. Thus fu
rious arc the office-holders—thus ferocious are
their organs—against any “change” in the admin
istration, in virtue o'i which they themseives
might happen to he brought to account.
But, hear the Albany Argus of other and better
days! Hear the Argus—the organ of the de
mocracy of the Empire State, when it had no
motive to falsify truth, and no taste for vilhfving
and aspersing the character of one of our coun
try’s brave defenders :
From the Albany Argus of March 12, IS 13,
There is an elegance approaching to sublimity
in one passage in the General Orders of Jan. 2,
to the North Western Army under GENERAL
HARRISON. These orders were issued in con
sequence of the teturn of a detachment from a suc
cessful expedition into the Indian country. The
detachment had orders among other things, “ to
save the women and children, and to spare the
warriors who censed to resist.” After thanking
the detachment for their attention to this order,
the General proceeds:
“ Let an account of murdered innocence be
opened in (he records of Heaven against our en
emies alone ; the American soldier will follow
the example of his Government, and neither the
sword of the one will be raised against the help
less or the fallen, nor the gold of the other paid
far the scalp of a murdered enemy.”
Now Dox’t !—The A an Buren prints are en
deavoring to string out a list of new proselytes.
They have been thus employed about a month,
and the result, though they have canvassed the
whole Union, is some dozen or fourteen— with
“greasy hob.’ The opposition papers of Ohio
and Illinois alone would furnish upwards of four
hundred renunciations of Van Burenism, with
the names and residencas of the seceders affixed,
within the same period. The federalists had
better keep their hatch of small potatoes out of
print. “ Comparisons’” as D'gherry sagaciously
observes. “ are odorous.” We do nut intend this
qu .fation as a personal allusion to “ greasy bob.”

Catholic!Pastoral Letter.
The following elegant passage we extract from
the Pastoral Letter of the most Reverend, the
Archbishop of Baltimore, and the Right Reverend
Bishops of the Roman Catholic. Church, in the
United States of America, assembled in Provin
cial Council, in the city of Baltimore, in the
month of May, 1840, to the Ciergy and Laity of
their charge :
“And here, beloved bretheen, whilst we dis
claim all right to interfere with yoi.r judgement
in the political affairs of our common country
and are far from entertaining the wish to control
you in the constitutional exercise ofyour freedom
—we cannot in justice, to ourselves, refrain from
addressing to you a few observations, equally de
manded by the love that we bear to our civil and
political institutions, and the obligations of mor
ality. You cannot but be aware that our own
views anil sentiments, respecting the political par
ties which divide our national councils, are as lit
lie in Imi.i.nny as arc xour own, or those of any
other religious body in our fan !, lou cannot,
therefore, attribute our monition to any political
bias, nor entertain the suspicion that it is meant
to produce any political effect. Our object is,
exclusively, the respectability of our land, the
stability of our constitution, the perpetuation of
our liberties, and the preservation ot pure and un
defiied teligion.
The periods which precede our great elections
are usually marked by extraordinary excitement.
Associations are formed, committees are appoin
ted, clubs are organized, party spirit is excited,
the longue and the pen are embittered by virulence
truth is degraded, and, more melancholy and
more censurable still freemen of every religious de
nomination, electors, upon the proper exercise of
whose judgement we receive statesmen who may
save our republics as from rum, or who may de
grade them in the eyes of the world and may
destroy our peace and our liberty ; voters, upon
| whose virtues and prudence our dearest rights de
pend, arc brutalized by pampering their meanest
passions, arc, by vile bribery, debased to the low
est grade of infamy and recklessness; and thus
what was me-mt to l>e a blessing is turned into a
, curse. Beloved brethren, flee this contamination,
j keep aloof from these crimes; n fleet that you
; are accountable not only to society but to God,
1 for the honest, independent and fearless exercise
; of your own franchise, that it is a trust confided
to you not for your own private gain but for the
public good, and that yielding to any undue in
fluence, you act cither through favor, affection nr
the motive,: of dishonest gain, against your ow n
deliberate view of what will promote your coun
try’s good, you have violated your trust, you have
betrayed your conscience, and you are a renegade
to your county.—D » then, we entreat you, avoid
the cnntaininatinginfluence of political strife, keep
yourself aloof from the pestilential atmosphere in
which honor, virtue, patriotism and religion per
ish ; and lie assured that our republics can never
be respected abroad, nor sustained at home, save
by an uncompromising adherence to honor, to
viitue, to patriotism, and to religion. How often
have we had to weep over the havoc of morals,
and the wreck of religion which political excite
ment has produced.”

Is it a Forgery ?—Messrs. Lynn Boyd,’

AUGUSTA MARKET.
Our Cotton market since Monday, assumed a
more firm aspect. The sales made, were at a slight
advance on last •-reek's rates. Our receipts thus
for, the past three days, are very light ; conse
quently, little for sale—A general good demand
for all descriptions, at from 6 to cents. Chief
sales lor fair crops, 9to 9 \ , for fully fair. Our
river has fallen, anl is now barely a steamboat
one, for steamers of tae lightest draft. The next
set of boats to load, will require lighters, should
we not have rain.
Groceries. —We have no change to notice. Tho
market is general’y well supplied with all the
eading artic.cs, and prices are as low as the de
ranged state of our currency and the exorbitant
rates of exchange will allow.
Freights —To Savannah, 50 cents per bale;
to Charleston, by rail road, 2oc per 100 lbs. for
square, and 3oc per 100 lbs. for round bales.
Exchange. —On New-York, at sight, all per
cent, for current funds j Charleston at —a 8 per
cent; Savannah per ct.; Philadelphia —a 7A per
ct.; Lexington,Ky. 4 a perct.; Richmond 7 cent;
specie commands 9 a 10 per cent, premium.
