Columbus, June 1, 1840. IS 2in Judicial Anecdote. —Previous to the last war when Judge Chase, a United Stales’ senator from New Hampshire, was on his way’o Congress, before he sessi ti when hostile measures were < xoected he passed the first night of his journey at Windsor, in Vermont, where a man took oeeasion to purloin his boots. The thief was apprehended and imprisoned to await his trial, which did not take place until the following summer. Tho evidence against him was conclusive; “guilty” was rendered, and JutDc E. proceeded to deliver the sentence of the court°to the following effect t “Tun Fiannagan. you arc found gui'ty of stealing a pair of boots. You stole them m the fail t f the year, which aggravates the offence, for, had you stol i en them in the heat of summer, and the sufferer by I your rascality, had been unable to procure any other. } fie could have walked ab.oad, barefooted, without se | rious inconvenicf.ce; but, had such been the case in j winter, lie would have been obliged to confine himself to his dwelling; he would have been unable to pursue his of dinars occupation, and an indigent, interesting and virtuous family might have be* n reduced to tho extremity of suffering— es, sir-might have expired in the agonies of starvation, in consequence of the loss of a pair of boots through your wickedness. Ail this is within the bounds of probability. But the case is worse than this. You stole the boots from a great man —from Judge Chase—and not only from Judge I Chase, but from a Senator in the great American ’ Congress, and that too previous to t he commencement |of un important session—a momentous period, when it j was expected, on every side, that war against Great i Britain was to be declared. See, and stand aghast at f toe results trial might have ensued from y*.ur nefarious j t c:. The Judge might have been disposed to cast his j vote against the w ar, and from i ven the division of the j remaining members upon the question, his vote might have been the turning point of the matter. Bv The loss ofhis boots, he might have been delayed several days in obtaining others, and, in the meantime, the awful question of war or no war might have been brought up. Inconsequence ofhis absence the de cision might have been in favor of the war, and thus upon you—yes. upon you, sir, would have rested the whole responsibility of that terrible event. You, and you only, would have been accountable for the im | mease expenditure of treasure resulting from a con j flic:—for the blood of thousands spilled on the field of i battle—for the horrors of victory and defeat—for plun ; derings and burnings—Dr massacres and carriage—for j our wives and daughters butchered or violated—Dr the { t vs and agony of widow sand orphans. Yes, sir ! ail this would have rested upon you; anJ in conside- I ration of the heinousness of your offence, in view of | these dreadful consequences which niirrht have resnk | ed from your act, tlie court sentences *ou to six months imprisonment in the common jail.”* Judge E. delivered this without a smile; and the man sc ingwhom he had to deal with, thus addressed him in torn: “Mav it plase yer honour, it’s an asv sintince, to be share, for sich a dade as yer honour savs, hut I’ihe afiher puttin’ it to yer honour’s conscience if six months be n’t a very unforthunate period to sit me downe for? l’il be comm’ out o’ jail fist as the win ther is coinraiu’ on. an’ mnvbe l won t be able to be sitteii* work, and then I’ll be deprived o’ boots to me fate, an’ vittk-s to me month. If yer honor, no r, wud be kind an’ jon’ale enough to sit me down for for three or nine months, it ‘ud be moro considhti a’e in yer honour, intireiv.” “Very good, Mr. Prisoner.” rep’ied the Judge, vil! perfectly cornp;*se< J . in countenance, “the court, in’ consideration of the validity of, vour plea, reduces term to three m&uths. Take him awav.” CONGRESS. In Senate June 25,1540. Mr. LUMPKIN said the time had now passed fora detailed investigation of the mer its of this important measute; he rose tor no such purpose; his object was to submit a few general and brief’remarks in justification of the vote which he intended to give. Mr. L. said he had been true to the pledge which he had given to the Senate at an earli er stage of the discussion on this subj ct. He had not suffered himself to make up a de finitive opinion, until full time and opportuni ty had been afforded the leading friends of this measure to amend, modify and mould its provisions, to suit their views of the interest of those intended to be benefited, including both debtor and creditor. But sir, the time has now arrived when the final action of the Senate is called for upon the final passage of the bill; and, for one, lam ready for that de cision. After the most patient investigation and mature consideration of the whole subject aided as I have been in the formation of inv conclusions, by the ability and intelligence of this enlightened Senate, 1 no longer hesitate. I am ready to give my vote against the pas sage of the bill. This, sir, is a measure of importance, on account of ihe principles in volved, as well as the great individual inter ests now at issue on the question. It is a measure upon which Congress should not le gislate, so long as a strong doubt of the pro priety of the legislation proposed rests on the mind of the legislator. That pure and sensi ble statesman, Nathaniel Macon, advised me twenty-five years ago never to vote for an important measure, so long as I entertained doubts of the expediency, and especially of of the constitutionality of the measure pro posed. The advice was good, sir, and de serves the consideration of every statesman. We all admit the constitutional authority of Congrets to pass uniform laws on the subject ol bankruptcies. But, sir, I doubt the con stitutionality of this law. To my mind its operation will not be uniform. It will be par tial and unjust in many respects to both debt >r and creditor. Should tnis bill become the law of the land, I now venture the opinion that it will become an odious and offensive law to the larger portion of the people of this country. Its injustice and partial effects will be more fully developed by its operation than cart be done by any argument on the floor of the Senate at this time. Equal laws, and equal political rights, are the letter and spirit of our institutions. I dislike all legislation designed for the exclusive benefit ot the few. More over, sir, this bill, to my mind, interferes too much with individual contracts and obliga tions. I can find no power in the Constitu tion which authorizes Congress to impair the obligation of individual contracts. A proper sense of moral duly compels every man to consider his vows and obligations sacred. An honest debtor, if legally absolved from the embarrassment*of all his debts, would never theless feel himself bound, if the smiles of for tune should afterwards enable him to do so, to hunt up and discharge all his old contracts. Mr. President, I protest, sir, against being numbered amongst those who have no sym pathy for honest debtors, for suflering human ity, wherever it may exist. lam not only in favor of abolition from imprisonment, and all other shackles for debt, but my feelings incline me to admire the policy of ancient times, when at regular periods the whole people could look forward to the coming year of’ jubilee, when there would be a full, free, and entire release from all indebtedness and harassing obligations and demands. But, sir, when debts are contracted with a view to existing laws and regulations in socie ty, the case is altered. The indebtedness of the people of this country lias been incurred under a Government which holds out no hope ot a year of general release. Hence the great delicacy of the subject, when we attempt by legislation to interfere with debtor and credi tor. It is not only a delicate subject in itself, but under our system the division of power between the States and Fedeta! Government, in relation to the proper legislation, which is necessary to guard the interest of both debtor and creditor, is such as to require from legis lators great circumspection and care. Sir, the more I have reflected on this sub ject, in connection with my attention to the able and extended discussion in tins chamber, the more I incline to the opinion, that the States are best qualified to provide for the evils which this bill is intended to remedy.— The States unquestionably, by their insolvent laws, and other appropriate legislation, have the power to guard the honest but unfortunate debtor, from the unfeeling tyranny and op pression of the assuming creditor; and in most of the States it has already been done. This hill, if it becomes the law of the land, will doubtless afford great relief to a compar atively very few individuals. But Ido verily believe the great majority of both debtors and creditors will be injured by the passage of this bill. I believe the great majority of both debtors and creditors, under the existing laws of the several States, arc in a much better condition than they will be if you pass this bill. The benefits of this measure will extend to hut few. A few unfortunate and imprudent mer chants, speculators, and traders, will derive benefits from this measure, especially such as do business on a large scale. But, sir, a large majority of the poor suffering debtors of our land will never think of relief from your bank rupt law; and if they do, it will only aggravate their suffering, for they will never derive anv benefit from its provisions. Sir, I consider this a measure better calculated to benefit lawyers,-than either debtors or cieditors.— Yes,#ir, this bill will push many a rich fee into the pockets of legal gentlemen. Sir, there is scarcely anyone out of the seventeen sections of the bill, that will not require a law yer to explain its provisions. Indeed, sir, scarcely any two jurists in this Senate have been able to agree upon the construction of any section of the bill. The discussion here Ims awakened me to the endless litigation this measure will create. Tlie estate of every rich bankrupt throughout the land will afford a feast of fat things to the lawyers. To that class of the community this measure holds out the p r ospcct of a rich harvest. Mr. President, the system and subject of credit bas of late become an interesting theme with politicians. I have often, sir, heard the present Administration of the Federal Gov ernment denounced for destroying the credit system. To me, sir, this is ali idle, perfectly fallacious. My views of a sound and salutary credit lead me to fear nothing, ask for nothing, from the Government, in the way of cred t. What has tiiis Government to do with the credit of individuals : The only true basis ol credit is economy, industry, punctuality, and honesty. The man who earns and receives more than he spends—who contracts no unreasonable debts—who manages all his affairs with dis cretion and prudence—is hut rarely the sub ject of Providential suffering and distress — and when such cases do occur, the moral sense of the community will protect such a one from the avaricious oppression of an unfeeling creditor. Sir. T have always had more credit than money. ! have never had one moment's distress for fear my credit would fail.— Plie credit of individuals and Governments can only be suslained by the true dignity of living within the means at command. It is not in the power of individuals, or Govern ment, to sustain credit bylaw’s of bankruptcy, or by substituting any kind of fiction for real ity. Honesty, sir, is not only the best policy, but it is a moral duty. We should advise the people to work more and spend less; to pay their old debts, and he cautious how they contract new’ ones. The course suggested ivill banish distress, and bring prosper!tv to our beloved country, without the aid of bank rupt laws. I rom the N. Y. Coin. Adv. June 22. ABOLITIONISM. Our renders have already been informed of the disastrous conflict among our neighbors, the abolitionists, during their late anniversa ry in this city, which has been followed by a similar explosion in New Haven—in both in stances the party having devoured each other, alter the manner of the Kilkenny cats, and all at the instance of the ‘female brethren,’ both white and colored, with Garrison and Miss Abby Kelly at their head. In tlie New School General Assembly, at Philadelphia, the like ill starred destiny lias attended the party, and even their old ally Dr. Cox, having ‘come to himself,’ has led toe van in giving them the go-by with indefi nite postponement. At Baltimore, since the session of the Gen eral Conference, we learn that Medodist abo litionists have not only cut their own throats, metaphorically but their leader has written the epitaph of the faction. And as ‘ thereby hangs a tale,’ while is too good to be lost, we have taken pains to come at tlie facts. It seems that this leader laid before the conle ence a long list of names to an abolition petition, which he affirmed was from eleven hundred members of the Methodist Episco pal Church in the city of New York and its vicinity. Now it so happened that certain New York clergy who were present, on look ing at the names, discovered that some hun dreds of them were the names of females, and knowing even that some were children of tender age, and that others were not mem bers of the church, while more than one color was detected, they strongly suspected that some trick had been played off', and therefore sent the original memorial back to New York for investigation. In a few days ii was returned to Baltimore with a protest signed by a large number of ministers and official members of the church in New York, accompai.kd by certificates and other vouchers, demonstrating that the memorial abounded with frauds. This pro test being read in open conference, produced great indignation among honest men of all parties. The following are a lew of the frauds set forth by the protest, and proved by the evidences annexed : Ist. A poition of the names were signed twice, so as to count double. 2nd. Many of the names are forgeries. Sal. Hundreds of the names were obtain ed to a temperance petition, and having been torn ol!, were attached to this abolition peti tion. 4th. Many of the signers are members of other churches, or members of no church, and some of them are known to be unfit for mem bership in any church. sth. Some of the signers are colored peo ple, and more of them children. Gih. Many of them are fabrications, both name and residence being fictitious. 7th. Numbers are known to live at a c!is* tane from the city, and even from the State. Bth. Some are persons long since excom municated from the church as unworthy of membership. 9th. Some are ascertained to be of profit gate and abandoned character, one of them having been only a few weeks out of the state prison, and since recommitted to jail for felony. The protestants prayed that this memorial might be rejected by the Conference lor the reasons alleged, it being a libel on the church in New York, and an imposition on the Gen eral Conference. And it was urged as highly probable that all of other kindred memorials from other places were of the same character. This last allegation was denied, of course. The protest, after being read and comment ed on it terms of just reprobation, was refer red to a committee, who made a report de claring the protest to be fully sustained, and the abolition memorial from ‘N ew York to be an imposture, unworthy of the smallest degree of credit or confidence. We learn that the whole strength of the abolition party in the General Conference, as ascertained by a test vote, was eighteen, while the number of that body is one hundred and fortv-four. It is plain,"therefore, that from the Methodist Episcopal Church aboli tionism has every thing to fear, and nothing to hope. The address of the Bishop-, which has been published, and the action of this body, which is their highest court of appeals alike show that the party are utterly powerles, in that denomination. Meanwhile, the split in the ranks of the American Ami slavery Society, on the great question of woman’s rights, has so divided and scattered the party that their sorry figure en tities them to comroisseration. Foithey are not oniy bankrupt by their official acknowledge ment, having sunk & 10,000 0 n the Emancipa tor alone, over and above all their receipts; but they have been obliged to stop all their presses, reca! ail their agents, and publicly confess their insolvency. Moreover, they have been shut out of the Tabernacle, which they built, and nearly every church in this city, wind) was formerly open to them, and at their late anniversary were obliged to oc cupy a small building, much against their will, and in a remote part of the city. And now that the highest ecclesiastical as emblies and conferences, of nearly ail denominations of Christians, are becoming so weary of their proceeding as to refuse giving them any quarter, and so many of their ablest chairi pions are, like Dr. Cox and Mr. Kirk, abjur ing their ultra ism, they begin to demand sympathy, which ought not to be withheld. And ii they are let atone a little longer, we need no spirit of prophecy to predict that the verdict of the grand inquest will he recorded bv the significant words ‘fdo de se .’ No man need henceforth strike a blow at aboli tionism, for in America it will die, as everv other species of fanaticism is destined to die, by suicide. Despairing of prolonging the agitation in this country, either in church or state, a few of the master spirits ha ve sailed for England. ‘Mr. L. said this was not the first time that Harrison had courted the Abolitionists. Af ter his vote in Congress for the admission of Missouri in 1822. he went home, and to con ciliate the Abolitionists; whose influence then was sufficient to defeat his election, he wrote a letter, in which he made it a merit with them that at the age of eighteen he was an Abolitionist, and a member of an Abolition society. This is now used to make him an Abolitionist al the North, while at the South it is explained by the slaveholders, in private letters from Harrison’s friends, it’ not from himself, that it means only the abolition of the slave trtiie. “Such w r as the course General Harrison, to carry the South and the North. Van Butin relied on party machinery to carry the North, and a subserviency to slavery to secure the South. But he at leasi hud no concealment oi'his opinions. Van Buren stood on but one side of tiiis question. Aholi'ihnis’s knew him as an open opponent; but Harrison was trying to stand on both sides, lie had de scended to a lower deep, lie (Mr. L.) could vote tor neither. Both were unworthy the votes of freemen; but he preferred an open enemy to a false friend. “Rev. Abel Brown, a delegate from North hampton (Mr. \Ym. B. Calhoun’s district.) said that he knew something of the course pursued to induce the Abolitionists to support Gen. Harrison in preference to any other candidate. Secret letters were circulated Dot only at the South but at the North. This fact he knew. A convention was held of the Abolitionists of Hampshire and Hamp den counties, in Mr. Calhoun’s district, the la tier part of January last, in which strong resolutions were passed against supporting citheir Harrison or Van Bureu. After that convention, Mr. W. 13. Calhoun had written home letters from Washington to convince the Abolitionists that they were wrong in op posing Harrison. Copies were privately In tided round among tlie Abolitionists by the Whigs, an'd he (Mr. Brown) had seen some of them, in-which Mr. Calhoun stated that General Harrison was with us (the Abolition ists) and would go all lengths, and that he (Mr. Calhoun.) had this from authority, which was understood to mean Genet: ! Harrison himself. But at the end of the letier was list's remark, ‘make such use of this as you think best, hut do not lei it get into the papers!’ This was sent by a member of Congress, to induce us to beiieve that Harrisdh was an Abolitionist, and ought to receive our support. But it must not get into the papers. Oh no! That would hurt Harrison wkh the slave holders! it was wrong to deceive us, i! it was not so. 1 have also understood, said Mr. Brown, that there was another letter in cir culation, from a great man in Ohio, who cer tified that he knew General Harrison was an Abolitionist; hut I could never see it. It was to be kept from the pr ss. So-, hberty has nothing to gain by the election of Martin Van Buren, so far as the slave is concerned, but he is open and manly in his course. But this course of General Harrison is too mean to be—thought of. From the Globe. DECISIVE PROOF OF HARRISON’S TAM PERING WITH TEE ABOLITIONISTS. The Boston Post of the 24th uh. contains a very able and conclusive article, showing that Mr. Calhoun’s letter, communicating the substance of Gen. Harrison s letter, through a friend to the Abolitionists of Massachusetts, was intended to bring him within tlie condi tion ol” the resolution of the society of his district, and quaiily him to receive Abolition votes, according to the terms expressed in it. The resolution was as follows : ‘ Resolved, That no Abolitionist can give his vote for either of these men [Van Buren or Harrison] for the office of President of the United States, without good evidence of a fundamental change in their views and prac tices on the subject.’ Mr. Calhoun expressly alludes to the decis ion against Harrison on the part of his Abo lition friends, and then undertakes to satisfy them by the account lie gives of Gen. Harri son’s letter to Evans, that he had seen in it ‘good evidence’ to induce a reconsideration of their resolve. He tells them that he lias seen a letter from the General which renders the doings ol the Anti slavery convention a; Springfield—their resolution denouncing Gen. Harrison—in his opinion quite premature. When the Massachuseils convention of Abolitionists met to nominate a Presidential electoral ticket, the question arose whether the indications thrown cut hy Harrison to catch Southern votes, should prevent ihe con venlion from directing its efforts to his ad vancement. The Boston Post gives tlie following account of the convention, and its debate on this point; ‘ The convention was called by the political Abolitionists of this Stale, for the expus purpose of nominating an Abolition electoral ticket. It was presided over by the Hon. William Jackson, an ardent Whig, and recently a member of Congress l’rcni Dis rici No. 9. The question under discussion was the Abolitionism of Gen. Harrison. A por tion of the members of the Convention were lor a separate organization, and another portion desired to bring the Abolition force to the support of Gen. Harrison. On this point the discussion mainly turned.’ ‘SKETCH OF DEBATE IN THE ABOLI TION CONVENTION. ‘ A member of the convention, Mr. Spald ing, it was understood, a lawyer, said that he was a Whig Abolitionist, and was opposed to any course being taken by tbe convention that would endanger the election of General Harrison. A nomination of a distinct Aboli tion ticket for electors, pledged to Mr. Lhr ney, he said, would injure tt.e Whig cause, because the Abolitionists were generally Whigs, and such a ticket would draw more from Harrison’s votes than lion; Van Buren’s. He believed, and as far as he understood tbe views of the Abolitionists generally, they believed, that iheie was a choice of evils be tween Harrison and Van Boren, a id that H irrison was better for them than Van Buren. because the Whig party was the friend of Abolitionism, and the Democratic party op posed it. The Whigs in Congress who sup ported Harrison, had generally voted against the gag law, while the Democrats had earned it by their votes. This, he said, would determine his course. We say, continued Mr. S. that theie is a choice for Abolitionists, between the two candidates o! the great par ties, and why, then, when it was certain that Mr. Birney could not be elected, should the Abolitionists, by a separate nomination, draw votes from Harrison, by taking the large pro portion of Abolitionists in the Whig party, and thus strengthen Mr. Van Buren l The votes from Mr. Birney must come from tbe Whigs, if at all, and this would detest the Whigs. This, as a friend to Abolition lie could not consent to. Mr. E. Wright, i”. replied that Harrison was certain of the electoral vote of Massa chusetts, if the Abolitionists went for Mr. Birney. The parties in Massachusetts were so nearly divided that the Abolitionists could prevent a choice of Electors, because it re quired a majority. It would tht-n go to the Legislature. That would be Whig, and cdu and elect the Harrison electors, and lie did not despair, dial in that event, the Abolition Electo's might be chosen. He repelled an intimation that a separate nomination would ai jA an Buren. None tut an irsar.e man. he said, would suppose that the Van Buren men have set us on. ‘ Mr. Leavitt, of New York, (editor of the Emancipator,) who had previously spoken with deci ed conden nation of Mr. Van Eu ren. as pledged utterly against Abolition in ail its lorms, said that he was open and plain m Ins course, while Harrison was aiming se i cretly to gain the slave States, bv servililv to 1 the South and the Northern Abolitionists by i confidential prok-ssious. It was now well known that letters lrrxn Harrison, with in i junctions of secrecy, had been privately cir culated at the South ever since Harrison was a candidate in lS3(j, pledging him to the slaveholders. John M, Berrien of Georgia, had a private letter from Harrison in 1836, on the slave side, a Mr. j[ lost the name] of Louisiana or Alabama, had another of these secret pledges to the South. Mr. Rives, or some friend of his, had another. These letters were concealed until after the Harrisburg Convention, where, by another process, the votes of Abolitionists in that body were secured for the nomination of Harrison; and as soon as that was done and the nomi nation acceded to by Abolitionists at the North, we then find the Whig slaveholders in Georgia, Alabama, \ irginia, &lc. rallying to the support of Harrison, on the ground that he was more to he relied on for slavery than Van Buren. He believed that more recently other secret pledges, by private letters from General Harrison or his friends, had been, or would be, circulated among Southern Whig slaveholders, which would probably come to light, and upon which it was relied to rally the South flir lis support. Mr. Hives, or some friend of his, had undoubtedly got such a letter. I his, and this only, could account for the recent rally of the Whig party of the South upon Harrison. The South,” he be lieved, would eventually, and that soon, change its position from the JefKrsonian doctrines, as they were called, of 1798, and go for a high tarill and a national bank, with a view to strengthen the slave power; and therefore he did not rely upon their past op position to these measures to induce them to oppose Harrison now, if they could depend on his pledges to their paramount principle, slavery, by which they could plunder the north, lint they must be sure of that, and ‘his accounted for Harrison’s opposite course at the north and south. 1 his was one side of the picture. He meant to be impartial, for i,e regarded neither party, and looked upon both as tlie enemy of Abolition. While these secret pledges to slavery were circulating at the South, the opposite opinions were confidently ascribed to Harrison at. the North, to secure the Aboli tionists. ‘i his double process of concealment had been carried on with considerable suc cess by Harrison himself. He (Mr. Leavitt) knew the iact that Harrison, since his recent nomination, an 1 before, find gained much of their favor and confidence in his personal in tercourse with tiie Abolitionists ofCincinnalti. He had visited the anti-slavery rooms there, and had led many true-nearled Abolitionists to believe lie was with them in the great work of emancipation. Charles Hammond, and even Mr, Btrney himself had been deceived by this course, and had had a bandage put over their eyes. Delegates to the American Anti-Slavery Convention had pledged them selves to that convention, that Harrison was fully committed to anti-slavery. Mr. Gates °j New York (a \\ big Abolition member of Congress) had written a letter, which he (Mr. Leavitt) had seen, affirming, from facts with in his knowledge, that Harrison had changed his-opinions on Abolition since his speech” at Vincennes, and his Chevoit oration, which is quoted by Mr. Rives in his letter to the Vir ginians, to prove Harrison’s pro-slavery. Remarks. —A perusal of this sketch shows the present posture of the Abolitionists in re gard to the Presidential election. All unite in denouncing J\Jr. Van Boren as wholly unjit jor their purposes. . A portion prefer lSir. Biri.ey, one of the. founders of their society, and present a “delegate in London at tfie World’s Convention of Aboli ionsts. But the greater part prefer Harrison to Birney as more available, and as having given secret pledges, which are considered food evidence r >f a fundamental change in Ids Ibnner views’ of the subject, viz: these contained in bis Vir.connis and Cheviot speeches, his letters to Mr. Berrien and irloo, and o.hcr private letters to his friends in the South. The sketch ot the debate furnishes the positive proof of the Rev. Abel Brown, whom the Post char acterizes as a ‘respectable Baptist C'ergy tnan, ot unimpeachable veracity,’ that Mr. Calhoun’s letter was used t > sat idly the socie ty in h;s district, that there was ‘ good evidence °f a fundamental change’ in Harrison’s form er views, which will justify them in support ing him according to the terms of their re: o lution. Mr. Leavitt, of New York, (the Ab olition Editor of the Emancipator, who pre ferred Birney, because he believed Harrison to be acting a double part ) gives ‘lie most distinct evidence of the exist nee of another secret missive from Harrison, which is going the rounds privately among the abolitionists of New York. Mr. Leavitt says: ‘Mr. Gales, of New York, bad written a letter, which lie (Mr. L avitt) Lad seen, allirm ng, from facts with iri bis own knowledge, that Harrison had changed 1 is opinions on Abolition since his speech at \ incennes, and bis Cheviot oration, which is quoted by Mr. Hives, in his letter to Ine V irginuns, to prove Harrison’s pro slave ry*’ Mr. Gates is one of the most avowed Abo lit onists in Congress. He is the only man of the joint I edtral and Abolition party in the House ot Representative who would venture u ’ r contradict the disparaging remarks of Waddv Thompson in regard to the Aboli tionists. While Slade and Adams, and all the rest, sat mute, and, for parly purposes, permitted Mr. Thompson’s idea logo abroad, undenied, that tbe Abolitionists bad really no sincere friends to their cause in the House, Mr. Gales stood their solitary champion. And n >w he is Harrison’s champion among tfie Abolitionists. He tells them that ‘ Harrison has changed his opinions on Abolition since his speech at Vincennes and his Cluviot ora tion.’ Now vve call on Mr. Gates to say whether he has written any such letter as •bat described by his brother Abolitionist, Mr. Leavitt. Il he does not deny Mr. Lea vitt’s statement it must he taken as true. It he does not deny it, the inierence is irresisti ble that he darts not deny if. Mr. Gates is known to be in favor of the election of Har rison. He sees that Harrison has written a letter to toe Kentucky \\ big committee, in which he refers to the Vincennes or Cheviot speeeh, republished by Todd and Drake, and declaies that lie could not be an he nett man and allow the publication to go out with his sanction, if he had changed his op/inion. If Mr. Gates, then, being a friend to Harrison, could deny that lie had written a letter to make the impression that Harrison had chat g ed his opinion, lie would, for public, if not lor pr.vate considerations, deny i f . While the uncontradicted testimony of an unimpeached witness crives assurai ce that Mr. Gates ‘has facts within his own knowledge,’ proving that Harrison ‘ has changed his opinions ,’ and while Harrison himseif assures the public, that, if this be true, he cannot, under present circumstances, be considered an honest man , what must the public infer in regard to Mr. Gates’s motives, if lie rtands mute? Is he willing to let the strong suspicion rest upon the public mind that Harrison is, through him and other Abolitionists, seeking to im press the belief in one section of tbe country that fie has changed his opinion, and isfiivor ! able to Abolition, while, through the Ken- [NO. 21.
