HARRISON CANNOT UK ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES— BECAUSE— Hu is the candiduto of a party, which nominated him supposing him to bo the "mostiivuilnhlo" nnd not for his talents,his services, his patriotism or his principles: He is the candidate of a party, which has used him as a tool, is now using him as such for the same end, and, if elected President, will continue to uso him to accomplish their purposes: He is the candidate of a party, which pretends to go for rotation in office, while they insist, us n claim fur his support, that he his been longer in public life than any citizen in the Union, thus constantly rolling out of one office into another: He is the candidate of a party, having ono thou sand Banks under their control, and which is now seeking through him, to fix upon tho country ano ther, with fifty millions capital; thus to subject the Government to tho dominanoy of irresponsible mo neyed corporation, and an aristocracy of weultli: . He is tho candidate of a party. whi« h is constant ly appealing to tho prejudices, instead of tho reason and sober judgment of the people, well knowing that their principles would not otherwise ceaso to bo tolerated, or continued at all, if reason is left free to combat them: Ho is the candidate of a party, which is for ma king tbe General Government responsible for tire State debts, for the benefit of foreign capitalists, end lor bribing the States into the support of federal men and federal measures: He is tbo candidate of a party, many of whom, after hi, formal nomination at Harrisburg,declared him lube unworthy of the support of their friend* or themselves, nnd ns boldine opinion! uiirecantcd, justly exceptionable to the South; his principles being like Joseph’s coot of muny colors, nnd as changeable as tho hues of tho dying dolphin: Ho is tho candidate of a party, n rawing no prin ciple, but those of a"chsnge"and of Log Cabin and Hard Cider, which refuses to declare any other be- attempting to cheat the without telling us wlrare Ids honesty begins, or where it ends, in the conflicting opinions and aeta of his pnit life: Hu Is ilio eandidnto of n party, though some times successful for a wliilo, will nover succeed in engrafting upon republican principle, the hitherto defeated, and still hateful principle* of federalismt lie is the candiduto of a party, composed of fvdo rnlists, bsnk men, tariff men. internal Improvement men, and "whig moil" north, south, cast and west, uftho abolitionists of the north, cast and west, of thn anti-masons, of tho humbug party of log cabins and uider bnrrcls, and is opposed by the true repub- can parly of tho whole Union: He is thu candidate of a party which, having pla ced him under tho guardianship of a committee, yet permit him to slamlor Ids follow citizens, the democrats, by comparing thoirncts to thn cruelties of the savage Robespierre, nnd tho motives of their cunduct to be those of that tyrant, under the pro lenco of tiro "public good": Ho is tho candidate of n paity, which deserves to bo, nnil will be, scouted nnd beaten, " horse foot and dragoons," in November next Because lie is the candidate of such a party I will not vote for him; nnd for the reasons following no nutn in the south ought:—Because— Hk is an Abolitionist. He has been, slnco 1701, an Ablitionist: differing from those of the present day only in tho means to bo used for effecting the sumo object: the one, for liberating our slaves without our consent ond with out compensation; the other for liberating with our consent, by paying us for them with "surplus revenue”—our own money—ond thus bribing the states in his views for the abolition of slavery. In 1791, he joined an abolition society: to prove which, in 1322, when a candidate for Congress in Ohio, bo procured aceitificnta from Judge Galch, oft bo fuel, because ho wus then charged with being friendly to slavery, which, ho said, was a calumny, adding besides—'"that the obligation which I then came undpr. (when he joined tho society,) I have Ihillifully performed." in 1840, April Utlt, Mr. Lyons writes him to spy "whothor you over were a member of on Aboil non society, and whelheryou have designated the Richmond Society as an abolition Society"—saying, that this denial would advanco tho whig enuse. He did not deny being a member of such a Society, or of usiug tho word Abolition, as charged upon him. in 1833, July 4, in his speech nt Chiviot, ho said “if asked in what way the Goncral Government can aid tho cause of emancipation," "I answer, that it has long been an object near my licnrt, to see the whole suplus revenue appropriated to that object," and “by a zealous prosecution of a plan formed up on that basis, we might look forward to a day not very fur distant, when a North Amorican sun would nut look down upanaslavo." In 1835, in his specahat Vincennes,Indiana,then being u candidate for tho Presidency, he said, "If my vote could effi-ct it (the abolition of slavery) eve ry surplus dollar in tho Treasury should be appro priated to tliut object. In 1820, Jan. Gih, iiitiro Senate of Ohio, bo voted fur a resolution “that our Sonulorsanil Representn lives ir. Congress, be ronnuited to use their utmost exertions, by every constitutional method, to pro- venttho admission ofoluvery in any State orTcrrilo ry oftlie Union, where sluveoy does not exist; to pro vont ilsJurMcrcxlention where it hat been intro Huced; and that they be further requested to oppose the admission of any State into tho Union,unless the further extention of slavery within such Stato bo ex pressly prohibited." In 1822, liu said “I dnny that my vote in Con gtois, in relation to Missouri and Arkansas, are In the least incompuliba with theso principles." . (At the timo the above resolutions pasted in tb* Ohio Legist.ture, Missouri hod not been admitted into tho Union; nor could sho have been, unless sho bud expressly agreed to tho restriction of slavery al ready existing ill tho slul«, if GSon. Harrison's wish vs had been consulted.) In the sumo year, busidosintroducing his rasolu tions unfriendly to thn institution of slavery, he voted it to be " a great moral und political evil." In 1822, he said, “ I was thu first porsnn to intro duco into Congress lha proposition that mil the coun try above Missouri should navur have slavery admit led into ft," In 1838, In hlo letters to Titos. Sluo, nnd Mr Ber rion, ha admits tiro right of Congress to abolish slavery in the Disiribt ol Columbia, without the con smt of the slaveholding states. In 1040, July 8.1i, Dr. G. Bailey, Jr, editor of the I’liilanlhropist, an abolition pnper published in Cincinnati, when charged with making certain re marks about tho abolition principles of Gon. Harri son, unswors thus:—" because justice to Gen. Harri sun und myself demands u prompt denial of the truth of tho above statement.” Dr. B. says—" At different times, in the presence of my friends, wheth er whig or democratic, when conversing on the tub juct, iofubolition) I Imvo remarked, tliui my Conner sations with Gen. Harrison had ltd me to believe, thnt he teas a vety good anti SLAVERY man, and J had no doubt H was his pleasure to convey such an impression. Stronger language on this subject I have not uttored; and this language has not been used by me with n viow to political effect." Now read this: Iii 1807, while Governuroftlio Indiana Territory, he approvod a law to sell hi* fellow citixens, male and female, ns servants, if too poor to pay the fines nnd cos:* of tho comt*, when convicted of misdu mettnors.&c. &c.—nmitbo individual in sold,upon running nwny fiom his or horowner, to bo whipped with thirty nino lusljos on the hare bock. Had he vetoed the bill, it could not have boroino n law. In 1821, in the Senate of Ohio, lie voted for atim ilnr low, which hnudmits lie did, in his latter of Dec.2Dt, 1821, addressed to the CincinnntiAd- vostiser, and again admitted in his letter of Sept. 15lh, 1020, to Mr. J. M. Pleasants, besides other recorded proofs of tho fuel. This is going from light to d..rkpe**, making tho whiles bondmen,tho blacks freemen. He is a Federalist. In tho year 1798, ho was appointed Srcretnry of tho Territory North west of the Ohio, under the Black cockade administration of tho elder Adams. In 1800, Fob. 5th, ho mudo a speech ia favor of keoping lip the federal standing army of the elder Adams, and in that speed) duclured. (such was his .'uve for htnnding armies,) that after so veil years sar vice he was sorry to say i lint such was tho conduct of tho militia, (citizen soldiers) that ho nerer could think u(trusting thu country entirely tu their pro lection. In 1800, ho was appointed Governor of tho Indi ana Torritoty under the samo Blacli-cockuda ad ministration. From 1810 to 1819,lie urged tho adoption ofmoa sums for tho organization and discipline of the militin of tho United, States, tho principal features of which, were unti-rcpublicnn, visionary, expensive and discriminating; his plan ubove all others, be ing altogether exceptionable. In 1826, John Randolph, of Virginia, charged him to Ids face in Congress of being tut open, frank and zealous supporter of tho Blank-cockade ad ministration of tho older Adams; that they had never, or could over agree about men or measures. The charge wus never withdrawn by Mr. Randolph, thougli lie may have regretted making thu attack. Gen. II. nddmitted the chargenl tho time. In 1024, he was elected Senator to Congress, and snstained the administration of John Quincy Adams. In 1820. ho voted in the Senate of tho U. States for a resolution to sustain the new, instead of the old treaty, by winch Georgia would hnve lost a grent portion of her lands, or forced to win them at tho point of the sword. In 1820; ho voted for thnt wild, foolish nnd vision ary project the Punamu Mission. In 1828, lie was unpointed Minister to Columbia by J. Q. Adam* for Ids services to him. In 1833, in his Choviut speech, in order to e plain his opinion of tho principles ii|>an which the government of our Union is formed, lie recommend ed to his auditor* tho proclamation of thu President of lha United States of Dec. lOtb, ond tho federal speeches of Mr. Webster, in reply to Mr. Calhoun, a* containing thu mn*teloquent ami sutiifactoty ux position of those principle* tlnu have recently been published.

H* voted for the tariff of 1828 against tho South. In ISlP-^OJn tho senate of Ohio, bo voted for resolutions, declaring that provision ought|tobe made by law for the encouragement of domestic manufactures, and that tho surplus money ought to be applied tn that purpose, and for the construction of roads and canals Instead of paying off the nation al debt. Ha voted to Instruct tin members of Con gross from that State to procure the passage of laws, embracing tbo above principles. , In 1831, in an address to an Agricultural Society in Ohio,bo said—tbo oaf* condition undtr which ho would abandon the tariff of protection would be, "whenever the streets of Norfolk and Charleston shall be covered with grass,and our Southern friends find no market for their produce, aad this state of things can be distinctly traced to the tariff."

When asked for Ills opinions upon Slavery, the Bank, dec. &c„ and upon tho other great leading political questions of the day, he answers "that nothing could induce him tn answer such intern* gatoriea, coming either from friends or foes;" yet on the 1st June he writes to Mr. Lyous, and an swers his letter, because of" thir long and intimate friendship," and his " high standing in society," and the intimate connexion of their Intrillu*. In his late letter to the Whiga of the N.
