PIONEER <fc JiANNER. CASSVILLE'. Thursday, June 4, 1840. A* 31. ItINSKIJi, Editor. mi .in i T —-.-a.isnr j ra 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. MANY CITIZENS. May 20th. the letter of Gov. Duncan which wilt he found in uuolher column of to day’s paper. 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. , -- - asaas From the Mad it on (Indiana) Courier. 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. JESSE B. THOMAS, Speaker of the 11. of Ueprsenlatives. Li. CHAMBERS, President of the Council. Approved Sept. 17, 1807. ; WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON. 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 FREEHOLD IN FIF i Y ACRES OF LANI'£O within any ctunly >f the same, or any less quantity in the c oun ty in which he shall reside, which, with the improvements made (hereon, shah be of the value of 03”ONE’ HUN DRED DOLL A Its,-30 or who has paid for, and in virtue ol a deed of con vcyance for further assurances Torn a peison vested with the lee, is in actual possession of FIF 1 V acres o.’ land sub ject to taxation in the county in which he shall be, are hereby declared to be duly qualified electors of repre sentatives far the counties in which they are respectively. JESSE B. TIIOMAS, Speaker of tiie H. of Representatives. B. CHAMBERS, President of the Council. Approved—September l7ih, 1807. WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON. 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.-//> E 2 R „ ES..O. Il 7-'' Si DRAMA TIC CO MPANY.
