FOR PRESIDENT,
MARTIN VAN BUREJY.
TO THE UNION PARTY OF
C iSS COUNTY.
For the purpose of nomina
ting a suitable TICKET to rep
resent us in the next Legislature,
in such a manner as all parts of
the county may have an equal
voice in the selection,it is propos
ed that each, district appoint two 1
persons to meet at Cassville, on
the first Tuesday in July next;
whose duty it shall be to make
such nomination.
We urge’ it most earnestly up
on the Union Party of the seve
ral districts notlcQpl sending
their Delegates to this meeting,
as we deem it of serious impor
tance that every district should
be represented.

THEATRE.
Just in good time, Mr. Hart’s corps, so j
favourably known to many of our citizens
have agreed to perform a few evenings in
this place, for tiie amusement and instruc
tion of those whose heads are not too soft
to enjoy the scene, some entirely new and
fashionable pieces. The company have
been furnished with a first rute room to
play in, comfortable in every particular
for a large audience.
Geueral iiamsun the Poor
Man’s Friend.
The many appeals which have been
raade to the yeomanry of the country to
support Harrison, on account of his devo
tion to “log cabins,” “hard cider” and
‘‘farming uteusils,” are beginning to be
pretiy well understood.
We copy in to-day's paper some ex
tracts from the Laws of Indiana, which
we hope our readers will read for them
selves. Who voted to HELL poor white
men for fines and costs, before the court
house door in their respective counties in
the State of Ohio, like bullocks, to the
“"•lighest bidder? General Harrison. Whut
Governor sanctioned the same kind of a
law in the ‘Territory of Indiana? Gener
al Harrison —who we are told is the poor
man’s fuibnd. Who sanctioned a law as
Governor of the Territory of Indiana in
the year 1807, prescribing
NINE STRIPES! upon the bare back!!
as the penalty to be inflicted upon airy
poor white man who should abscond from
his MASTER after being publicly sold
by the Sheriff? General Harrison—the
Poor Man’s FRIEND. The same Gen
eral Harrison, who the very same year
gave his assent as governor of the Terri
lory of Indiana to a law PROHIBIT
INtr “any free male white citizen 1 ’
from voting for any state or county offi
cer, unless he was possessed in his own
right of FIFTY ACRES OF LAND,
free of any incumbrance. These are
some of the acts of this POOR MAN’S
friend—this Soldier’s father—this charita
ble farmer of North Bend. He is the man
that is now held up by the Federalists and
Abolitionists of the North, as being wor
thy of the suffrages of the honest yeoman
ry of the South. Let his own acts speak
for themselves. They are sufficient to
carry truth homo to any man’s understan
ding—he is his own commentator.

SELLING FREE MEN AS SLAVES
IN THE STALE OF INDIANA!!
Blue light laws of the West—Gmeral
H irrison in favor of selling Free Mm
• n Indiana —against allowing the, right
of suffrage to ihe POOR MAN unless
possessed of a property qualification ! !
&c. fyc.
Much has been said in the defence
of the charge against General Harrison
of voting in the Senate of Ohio to sell
free white men as slaves; and General
Ha rrison’s own letters of demhl and !
ex ulpation,have been extensively pub
lished. The charge, however, re
mains well established, and as long as
the records of the senate of Ohio shall
continue to exisl, so long must the tes
tnrnny to establish this charge be per
petrated. (See journal of the Senate
of Ohio of January the 20lh, 1821.)
But we have resumed this subject to
show, that tins section of the Ohio Le
gislature, with all its odiousness, was
an old acquaintance o( General Ilarri
son, and had no new honors to present
to his mind; for while Governor of “the
Temtory ol Indiana,” he approved &
signed “An act respecting Crimes and
Punishments” containing sections mor<
odious than the section for which he
voted in the Ohio Senate: more odium
inasmuch as it made an escape from
this most degrading and humiliating
servitude, a CRIMINAL OFFENCE,
punishable with (£rWHIPPING
i in the full measure of OCrTHIRTY
i NINE STRIPES!!LCO and with a
DOUBLE seivitude as to time. (See
Territorial Laws, revised code of 1607,
pages 39 and 40 —sections 30 and 31.)
j “Sec. 30. When anyperson, or per
sons shall on conviction ot any crime, or
breach of penal law, be sentenced to
pay a fine or fines, with or without the
| costs of prosecution, it shall and may be
lawful for the court before whom such
conviction shall be had, order the
Sheriff to SELL or hire the. person o •
persons so convicted, to service, to any per
son or persons who wit l pay the said fine
and costs for such term of time as the
court will think reasonable.
And if such person or peisons,, so sen
tenced and hired or sold, shall abscond
from the service of his or her {£/*MAS
iTER or MISTRESS,before the
term of such service shall be expired,
j he or she s j absconding,shall on convic
tion befoie a justice of the peace, be
CO-WHIPPED WliH THIRTY
NINE STIPESL£O and shall moico
ver serve two days for every one so
lost.
i Sec. 31. The judges of the several
courts of record in this Territory shall
give this act in charge to the grand ju
ry in each and eveiy couit m which a
grand jury shall he swotn.

But was Governor llariison at this
time clothed with the veto power? his
I friends will ask. Aye he was; lie wa3
more amply than the Executive of an)
, State in this Union was. See the “Or
dinance for the Government of the Ter
ritory of the United States, Northwest
of the river Ohio.” This ordinance
may be found in all of our revised laws
from 1794 inclusive to the present day.
We quote from it, the following words:
“And all hills having passed by a
majority of the House, and by am; joi
ity of the Council, shall be it foiled to
the Governor, for ins assent , hut no bill
or legislative act whatever, shall he oj
any force without his assent .”
His vote was absolute. No law
could pass without his “assent,” tho 1
every person in the House ot iepre
sentatives, and the Council might de
sire it most ardently.
Mi Van Buien has been, by the
whig press most grossly misrepresented
and slandered in relation to iiis votes
ftnd opinions in <he New Yolk conven
tion iii 1821. He has been falsely sta
led to have favored a properly qualifi
cation to entitle while men to vole.
Let us see what were Governor Han i
son’s opinions on that subject in 1807.
[See levised code, pages 236 G,j
“It is therefore enacted , Thai every
free male inhabitant ot the age ot 21
years, resident in the Tei i itory, and
who hath been two years lesident in
this Ten itory, (£rANI) HOLDS A

And did Gov. H arrison approve and 1
sign this? And do his friends still cla
mor about any thing Mr. Van Buien
ever did, or could have done on this
subject ?
“Oh, Shame!!! where is thy blush?” j
But Gen. Hairison is the poor man’s
friend, though he would not let the in
dustrious pioneer vote unless he had
the requisite number of acres; though
he sanctioned a law to sell the POOR
man to the highest bidder as a SLA VE!
—a state than which none is more hot -
lible and degrading, to which death
would be preferred by every American
freeman. General Harrison, is how
ever, the “log cabin and hard cider”
candidate for the Presidency.—This
will do.
Mr. John C. Wright, one of G n.
Harrison’s Committee, is Ihe same in
dividual of whom an i x •( 11. r.t story is
related in connexion with Co’. Crock
et I.
There was a large animal show in
Washington, at winch many of the
members of Congress were present*]
Col. Crockett observed a monkey, and
calling to one of his friends, said, don’t
you think that monkey resembles very
much Mr. Wright of Ohio? All he
wants is a pair of green spectacles.’
Mr. Wright was unperceived standing
near his elbow, when some man re
marked, Mr. Wright is present, Col. j
and you ought to apologize. Col.j
Crockett turned round and saidi yes,
certainly I would apologize, but d— n |
me, Wright, if ! know whose pardon to j
ask—yours or the monkey’s.— Cahawba
Democrat . ‘*■
Some of the moat candid of the
Whigs, we understand, are beginning
to come out and acknowledge that they
wish the Abolitionists to vote for
Harrison,and want to get all the help
from them they can. Well that’s fair
that’s right: we like to see people
acknowledge the corn, though we con
demn the principle upon dhich they
act. For our pait, we Democrats
want no help from any such a gang.
If we can’t elect a President without
having him laid under obligations to
such characters,we say, let him go.-//>
