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. THOMAS .l EFFEKSON.” 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. Army Rill. For want of room, our notice of the Army Bill is deferred. The Barbecue. The Barbecue to day, will be strictly after the old Virginia style, in the olden time, those there fore who intend to participate should not go un provided with a knife, with which to, “ cut their way,” into the delicious legs of mutton Ac., which will be served for the occasion. A Hoosicr being asked, the other day, what majority would bo given in his state to the hero of North Bend, answered that he thought about : escnfren ceres. , For the Chronicle and Sentinel. 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 tire upper story. A Uniox Man.

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. Correspondence. Letter f rom Amos Kendall to the Post Master at Goodwynsvilte, Va. Washingtox, May 28th, 1840, My dear sir—l take the liberty to enclose you an address and Prospectus for the Extra Globe, hoping that it may be compatible with your in clination and sense of duty to use them for the purpose of procuring and returning subscribers. I. in ilial hope I shall be disappointed, [.solicit of you the personal favor to hand it over to some friend of the Administration who may be inclined to use it for that purpose. With great respect, vour friend, AMOB KENDALL. MR. Enwards’ reply. Goodwtxsvi elk, Va. 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?

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 !

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.” —New York Times. 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.

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.
