Andrews, Esq. Columbus, Ga. Dear Sir—ln reply to your questions we do not hes itate to acknowledge ourselves liable (if any body ts) to return the money paid ny such persons to vou, as our agen', who purchased tickets in the New Orleans Mammoth Lottery. All the money you received, (less a t riling commission) was immediately forward ed to us and disposed of according to the directions (by contract) of our principal. Louis Schmidt, of New Orleans, who was die sole aci'ng manager of ihe said Lottery. Yours verv respectfully, SYLVESTER & CO. By this it will be seen the money received has been remitted promptly, aceoiding to my instruction (for which we had given bond and security ) to Messrs, j Sylvester fit Cos., of New York, and by them to Mr. Louis Schmidt, the acting manager, together with the trustees appointed for that purpose. According to the best information I can get on the subject, there is now a large amount of money deposited in bat.k in New Orleans, to the credit of this Lottery, and a distribu tion of said funds will be made to the creditors as soon as it can be done, according to the laws of that State, which will probably be some lime during the coming winter. The holders of Tickets purchased in this place can send them to me for collection, and a receipt ; will be returned for the same. J. H. ANDREWS, Agent for Sylvester & Cos. Columbus, August 28,1843. 28 WESTERN RANK OF GEORGIA. THIS institution will resume business on the FIRST OF OCTOBER NEXT, and until a general resumption of specie payments, will continue to pay her liabilities in such funds as are passing at par, either in the Western part ol Georgia, North Alabama, or East Tenutssee. When a gtnerai re- j sumption lak s place in this State, the Western Bank 1 will be lound behind no ether Bank in redeeming her notes with specie. This Bank, like many others, had done a liberal business in accomodation notes, or vvha’ ihe Banks call state paper, and which w as found too “slow” to be made uv a.table when the great pressure taraa—a pressure that compelled the soundest and best manag ed banks to shi c their colors. It is not surprising, then, ti.at *n mstiiution, whose managers deserved more credit for plain ho testy than Jinuncial skill, >lio ,kl have stopped . t such a crisis, while other hanks, with large embarrassments and larger credit, should have cominued to b .• mol ing “things of life.” With a capital as little impaired as any Bank that has lost any thnro, the W'estern Bank has now in suit and in judgment, s-verity-live or eighty thousand dollars of good claims, which during ihe present year she (ms b en pressing to art i>sue, with a view to dis charge fully her obligations to the public. With these means, and her cash in hand, she cannot fad to pay by the Ist of October her whole circulation (now lit ile over thirty-live thousand dollars) with all her other indebtedness, wli.tli is merely nominal. Thus circumstanced, ihe W'estern Bank of Geor gia will in resuming her stadon arnoug the Georgia Banks, seek no more credit than she deserves, and can fairly nr intain in a legitimate couase of business. Knowing her condition to be sound, I pledge whatever reputation I may have, that no business will be done, during my connection with the hank, that may endan ger the rights of those who confide in the goodness of her bills. An Agency of the Bank will be fixed at Columbus, Ga., which is designed as a convenience to the Banks and people of ihe interior having settlements to make with her. All notes payable at the Agency, will be redeemed with specie, on demand new and forever. Letters to the Cashier will be addressed to Columbus, Georgia. R. A. GREENE, Cashier.

GERMAN, INDIAN AND I’IIOMSONIAN OR, PRIMITIVE, PRACTICAL, BOTANICO IYSESJCCAX. SCHOOL, | Bocated seven miles Past of JMarion , near Hamburg IN uniting these several Medical Systems or modes ol practice, Dr. B. R. THOMAS, the Principal of the School, begs leave to state, for the information of the afflicted and public generally, that he has been many years engaged m the practice of Medicine, and has di voted much of his time, labor and practice, with many of the most intelligent and successful German and Indian Doctors, boih in the United States and Canada, to the treatment of acute and chronic dts ea es of every name, stage and type, and of the most malignant character ; and iias, by practicing with them, acquired a thorough knowledge of al! their valuable secret Recipes and manner of treatment, which is far superior to any thing known or taught m the Medical Schools, and which ha3 been successful, by the bles sings of the Almighty, in restoring to health, hundreds and thousands of persons that had been treated for a number of years by many of the most learned and s ientific Physicians of the day, and pronounced to be entirely beyond the reach of rernedv, and given over •tike. Yet by thesimple,efficacious Vegetable Medi tcines, not poisons, they were snatched from the jaws of the giim monster, death, and restored to health, the greatest of all earthly blessings; for what is riches and elegant dwellings, without health to enjoy them. Health is the poor man’s wealth, and the rich man’s bliss. To a man laboring under disease, the world is little better than a dreary solitude, a cheerless waste enlivened by no variety, a joyless scene cheered by n i social sweets ; for the soul in a diseased body, like a martyr m his dungeon, may retain its value, but it lias lost its usefulness. Will be added to this institution, as soon as the ne c issaty arrangements can be made, an infirmary—the old, Trot, tepid, shower, sulphur and ihe German, Rus sian and I'homsonian Medicated Vapor Baths; and every thing that can possibly be of any advantage in i estorieg the sick to health, or relieving suffering hu manity, will be promptly and constantly attended to; and where the student will learn by practical experi ence, (i lie best kind of logic,) the true principles of the heaing art. Price of tuition will be §2OO, payable in advn -ce. All persons afflicted with lingering and chron ic disea ts, (of any name, state, stage or type, for we have b*‘ tied disease in a thousand forms.) who cannot couveni ntly apply in person, will send the symptoms ol their lisea<es in writing to Dr. B.

Although they may hav : b-**n of nunv years standing, and treated bv a doz n different D ictor . it is no good reason whv they can ot be cured by the subscriber.

There is not a man in the Republic so ad mirably qualified to be a candidate for the party ‘composed of fractions ot every hue of opinion,’ from Hie red hot tedetaust to the run-m.n abolitionist, as General Harrison. Their motto is ‘change’ i every sense ot the word —and the facts show that they have the most unprincipled changeling lor a candidate that walks the earth’s surface. Thelike was never known before—never will he equalled in the future. We rely not so mucl ou the true assertions and reliable certificates of others to prove this, as upon Harrison’s own writings and speeches, which neither himself nor friends dare deny. Look, fellow-citizens, look lor yourselves, and wonder what can be the condition of a party that is compelled to resort to such a man for a candidate! Ilurrison says he believes candi dates are bound to avow their prin ciples. Hear him. Extract fiom Gen. Harrison’s letter, dated Cincinnati, Sept. 17,1822. Sir; In your last letter you recommended to the candidates at the ensuing election, to publish their political creeds, that ihe electors may have a lair opportunity of choosing those whose sentiments best iccord with their own. I have ever believed that every elector has a right to make ths call upon those who offei their set vices to the people, and that the candidates are bound to answer it. Harrison says candidates are not bound to avow their principles. Hear him again. Extract from Gen. Harrison’s speech at Fort Meigs m 1840, as reported in the Letroit (whig) Adver tiser. I will now, feiiovv-ci iztns, give you my reasons for having refused to give pledges and opinions more freely than I have done since my nomination to the Presidency. Ma ny of the statements published upon this sub ject are by no means correct, but it is true that it is my opinion that no pledges should be made by an individual when in nomina tion lor anv office in the gilt of the people. Mar rison says he is not and nev er was a black cockade federalist. Hs own declarations follow: However, to prove the reverse of this, I ha ve been called a federalist. Well, what is a federalist? 1 recollect what Ihe word for merly signified, and there are many others present who recollect its former signification also. They know that Ihe federal party were accused of a design to strengthen the hands of the General Government at the ex pense of the separate States. That accu sation could not nor cannot apply to me. I was brought up after the strictest manner of Virginia anti-Federalism. St. Paul himself was not a greater devotee to the doctrines of the Pharisees, than was I, hy inclination and a lather’s precepts and example, to anli-Fed } eralism.— Fort Meigs speech. lie alluded to the evidence upon which the Enquirer sought to fasten the accusation that lie was a black cockade Federalist — i. e. —the remarks of Mr. Randolph in the Con gress of the United Spates. He said that the attack of Mr. Randolph was met at the moment it was made and effectually disprov ed.— lb.—as reported in the Ohio (Whig) Confederate. Harrison says that the head of the Black Cockade Administration was a pure patriot. Hear him! For Mr. Adams, (old J din) said Mr. 11., I entertained at the lime, (1799-ISOO) and have ever since entertained, the greatest re spect. I believe him to be an honest man and a pure patriot, and his conduct during that session proved him to be such. — Harri son's own speech in reply to Randolph , March 29, 1826. Indisputable proof that Harrison was a Black Cockade Federalist. Examine the f.llowing extract of Mr. Pe ter Mill’s speech: Mr. Piesidenl, Gen. Harrison and myself, sir, are old and iniin.ate acquaintances. 1 have known him personally and intimately tor more than forty years. L know him, to use a familiar adage, ‘like a book’--and per mit me to say, that he has never been any thing else than a zealous and avowed Fed eralist. I have this from personal observation. I was in Cincinnaii when Gen. Harrisor. re turned from Congress, at one time during the administration of ihe elder Adams, with a black cockade on his hat. All the Federalists in the city followed his example, ind hoisted the odious badge of Toryism. I know it, be cause I saw it with my own eves —Extract from a speech of Mr. Peter Mills , an aged citizen of high respectability , of Jefferson County, Indiana. Captain Fowler, extensively known as a dis tinguished member of Congress from Ken tu ky, replies to a letter from Hon. Henry Daniel as fu lows: Lexington, June 27,1840. Dear Sir: In answer to your letter of this date, I will say that 1 was in Congress, as a member, during the great struggle between Jefferson and Adams, and know the fact, that William Henry Harrison was upon the side of Mr. Adams. He was a Federalist, and wore the black cockade. Ido not recol lect his speech upon the reduction of the United States Army, though I have a file of the Aurora in which his speech appeared against reducing the army.

Before me, Frederick P■ Siephens, one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, of the county of Erie, per sonally appeared Robert Price, who, being duly qualified, sa th, that he was personally acquainted with William H. Harrison, the present whig candidate for the office ol Pre sident of the United States, at the time of the great po.itical excitement when the Federal paity wore the black cockade as r badge of distinction. That he frequently s*w him and heard him converse on political matters at that time, and lhat he knows nim to have been a member of the Ftderal party at that time —has frequently seen him wear the black cockade badge of Federalism attached to his hat—and that he distinctly remembers hear ing him observe, its argument in favor of the sedition law, in presence of Charles Pember ton and others, that he thought it was pro per for the President, the heads of the de partments. and members of Congress, to have a shield thr cron round them, that they should not be in the month of every blackguard that icalked the streets. And further the deponent saith not. ROBERT PRICE. Affirmed to and subscribed before me this •20th day of June, in the year of our Lord, ; 1840. FREDERICK P. STEPHENS. Harrison claims membership of an Abolition Society. In his letter to Thurston and others dated on the 2d June last, Harrison endorses the contents of one of his lives, published ‘by Cos). C. S. Todd and Benjamin Drake, Esq.’ In that pamphlet, (page 182,) is an address of his when a candidate for (Jougress, in ISS2 of which the following is an extract: TO THE PUBLIC, Fellow Citizens: Being called suddenly home to attend my sick family. I have but a few moments 10 answer a few of the calumnies which are in circula tion concerning me. lam accnstd of being friendly to slavery. Prom my earliest youth to the present moment, I have been the ardent friend of human libeity. At the age of EIGHTEEN I became a MEMBER of an ABO LITION SOCIETY, established at Richmond, the object of which was to amt liorate the condition of slaves, and PROCURE their FREEDOM by EV ERY LEGAL MEANS. My venerable friend, ofClermont county, was alsoa member of this society, and has lately given me a certificate that I was one. The oblioations which I then came under I have fcathfully performed. WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON. If Gen. Harrison then avowed that he fell all the weight of the obligations under which he came as a member of the Abolition Soc e ty, he was of course in good fellowship with abolitionists. The following affidavit of a gentleman of Cincinnati, Ohio, said by the Cincinnati Ad verliser to he a druggist of that city, and one of the most respectable citizens of Cin cinnati, is, no doubt, entitled to credit: The State of Ohio, ? Hamilton county, y SB ’ Before me, the subscriber, a Justice of the Peace, in and for said county, personally ap peared Isreal Brown, jr., and being duly sworn, says that about three months ago he was on the Ben Franklin steamboat, in com pany with Gen. W. H. Harrhon, and heard him say that he was an abolitionist, and that he was certain of getting the Slate of New York, because they knew him to be an abo litionist. ISRAEL BROWN, Jr. Sworn to and subsciibed before me on the first day of June, A. D 1840. J. H. GE TZENDANNER, Justice o! the Peace. This is to certify, that we, the undersigned, heard Israel Brown, Jr. stale at the lime (say three months ago) of General Harrison’s saying he was an abolitionist, and was cer tain of getting- the state of New York be cause they know him to be an abolitionist; and we should further state that we have repeatedly heard him state the same—and as to Mr. Brown’s character, we should take his word, and oath, as soon as General Har rison’s, or any other man’s. FRANCIS N. CARY, J. C. M'LUNE, J. C. MILLER, MALCOLM MURRAY*, G. W. RIDDLE. June 5, 1840. Lieutenant Davis, of Frederick county, Virginia, heard Gen. Harrison made the dec laration that he was au Abol.tionist, on board the steamboat, and shortly afterwards this fact was stated on his authority, in the Warrenton paper, and in tfie Richmond En quirer. He says lie never was a member of an Abolition Society. Can it be possible? It is even so. Hear him: In the Wilmington N. C. Advertiser is Harrison’s answer to to a letter from Gover nor Owen. In reply to the question, ‘are you now, or have you ever been a member of an abolition society?’ Harrison vvriles: Cincinnati. Feb. 16, 1840. Dear Sir: Your letter of the 31st ult. reach ed my residence at North Bend, by the mail yesterday, from whence it was sent to me at this place. You ask me whether f now am, or ever have been a member of an Abolition Sociely. I answer decidedly NO!—So far from be ing a member of such a society, I did not know, but as you knew it, viz:‘by common fame, that there was, or ever had been a so ciety of that description in any of tfie North western States until three weeks ago! Harrison equivocates about the word ‘Abolition’ when speaking to the South. In his letter dated ‘North Bend, June 1, 1840,’ to Air. Lyons, of Virginia, (where tiie word Abolition is in rather bad odour,) he writes as follows, though with an .injunction at the end in these words, ‘I do not wish what I have said above to be published!’ ‘ln answer to the inquiry why I used the word ‘abolition’ in designating a society of which I was a member in Richmond, in the year 179!, instead of the word ‘humane,’ which is known to be the only one by which the Society was really distinguished, all that I can say upon the subject is, that if I did really term it an Abolition society, a fact which I can hardly believe, (for I have not been able to see tfie paper containing my address to the people of the district in 1822, ii must have been from forgeltulness, which might easily happen after a lapse of thirty one years.’ Harrison does not equivocate about the word Abolition when speaking to the North. Dr. Bailey, editor of the Philanthropist, an abolition paper printed at Cincinnati, in his paper of the 30th of June last, sa vs: ‘ln two interviews we had with Gen. Har rison on this subject, about four months since, he was at pains to assure us, that he fad himself belonged loan ‘abolition society’ at; Richmond, Va. He did not hesitate about , the phrase; he did not use any other. ‘Ab- j olition society’ seemed the only name which he knew or cared to know. Besides, we j know iliat he has been in the habit of using| tlie term ‘abolition’ as the distinctive title of j the society at Richmond.’ Harrison is not tampering with the abolitionists— Say his friends; while public speeches are made, and the columns of the federal news papers are filled to prove that he is not tam pering with them. Harrison is tampering witli the Abolitionists — Says the evidence. In addition to Dr. Bai ley’s statement above given, read the follow* ing letter from Mr. Calhoun, a leading whig member of Congress, to his friend and con stituent, Judge Morris: Washington. Ftb. 4, 1840, Sir: I observed in the doings of the anti slaverv convention at Springfield, a resolu tion denouncing Gen. Harrison. I think this premature, to say the least of it. I have seen a letter from the general, in which he pronounces the story circulating in the press or West, (not certain which,) that he, while Governor of Indiana, for ten years, did every thing in his power to spread slavery, a foul slander, and speaks of it with great in dignation, and says that it would be impossi ble for him to do any thing of the kind, either privately or publicly, for the reason, he says, that while only eighteen years of age, in \ ir ginia, he joined an abolition society, and, *iih the Qlber members of the same, pledge! 1 himself to do every thing in his power to ef fect the emancipation of slaves—that he was to inherit a large property of slaves, and sub sequently not only emancipated his own, but purchased others for the purpose ot emanci pating them. This is what the General him self says. I write you this lor such use as you may think proper, except putting it in the newspapers. WILLIAM B. CALHOUN. Hon. Judge Morris. This letter was used privately among tlie abolitionists, as we shall see. On the 21th of May there was an abolition Convention at Boston. Mr. Abel Brown, a delegate from Mr. Calhoun’s District, made a speech, of wh'ch the following is an extract. He said ; ‘Mr. W. B, Calhoun has written home let ters from Washington to convince the aboli tionists that they were wrong in opposing Harrison. Copies were privately handed round among the abolitionists by the whigs, and he (Mr. Brown) had seen some of them, m which Mr Calhoun stated that General Harrison was with us (the abolitionists) and would go all lengths, and he (Mr. Calhoun) had this from authority which vvjs understood to mean General Harrison himself.’ Harrison has supported abolition ism, according to his own showing. In his all sided speech at Chevoit, he said: ‘Should I be asked, if there is no way by which the General Government can aid the cause of Emancipation, I answer, that it has long been an object near my heart to see the whole surplus revenue appropriated to that object. With the sanction of the States holding the slaves, there appears to me no constitutional objection to its being thus ap plied, embracing not only the colonization of those that may be otherwise freed, but the purchase of the freedom of others.’ Again: ‘I was the first person to introduce into Congress ihe proposition that all the country above Missouri, which having no inhabitants, was free from the objection made to Missouri and Arkansas should never have slavery ad mitted into it;’ In addition to this, as a member of the Ohio Legislature, he voted instructions to ihe members of C,ingress from that State to op pose the admission of any Territory into the Union with the privilege ol holding slaves. The journals show it. Harrison has opposed abolition ism— Say his friends, because he once cast a vole in favor of the admission of Missouri with slave privilege—and because he says in his late letter to Lyons, that no man south of Mason and Dixon’s line lias suffered more than himself ou account of supporting south ern interest. Harrison pretends to be the poor man’s friend. In a letter to J. H. Pleasants, dated at Richmond, Sept 15, 1836, Harrison said: ‘So lar from being willing to sell men for debt which they were unwilling to discharge, I am, and ever have been, opposed to all im prisonment lor debt. Fortunately I have it in my power to show that such has been my established opinion, and that in a public ca pacity, I avowed and acted upon it.” And in his letter to the editor of the Cincin nati Adveiliser, in 1821, Harrison said: ‘So lor from advocating the abominable principles attributed to me by your cot respon dent, 1 think that imprisonment for debt un der any circumstances but that where fraud is alleged, is at war with tlie best principles of our constitution, and ought to be abolish ed.’ Harrison approved of a law to prevent poor men from voting. A copy of the law which he approved, and which if he had not approved, would never have been a law, while he was Governor of Indiana Territory, is before us, certified by the Secretary as a true copy from the manu script records in his office, and under the broad seal of the State. Congress gave him the power to veto this Jaw, and lie not only refused to kill it, but signed and approved it. Hear the law itself. ‘lt is therefore enacted, That every free male inhabitant of the age of 21 years, resi dent in the Territory, and who hath been a citizen in any Stale in the Union, or who has been two years resident in this Territory, and holds a freehold in fifty acres of land within any county of the same, or any less quantity in the county in which he shall reside, which, with the improvements made thereon, shall be of the value of one hundred dollars, or has paid for and in virtue of a deed of convey ance for further assurances from a person vested with the fee, is in actual possession of five acres of land subject to taxation m the counly wherein lie shall be resident, shall be and are hereby declared to he duly qualified electors of represeniatives for the counties in which they are respectively resident’ * * ’* # JESSE B. THOMAS, Speaker of the House of Representatives. B CHAMBERS, President of the Council. Approved—September 17lh, ISO 7. Wm. Henry Harrison. Under the same circumstances lie approved a law to sell and whip white m€n and women unable to pay court fees. The following is from the law under the Broad Seal of the State of Indianan Sec. 11. H anv person shall unlawfully as sault or threaten another in a menacing man ner, or shall strike or wound another, he shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined in a sum not exceeding one hundred dollars, and the ; court betbre whom such conviction shall be ! had, may, in their discretion, cause the offen -1 der to enter into his recognizance with sure ty for tlie peace and good behaviour, tor a term not exceeding one year. See. 80. When any person or persons shall, on conviction of any crime or breach of any 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, to order the sheriff to sell or hire the person or per sons so convicted, to service to any persons who will pay ttie said fine and costs for such term of time as the said court shall ueem rea sonable; and if’ such person or persons, so sentenced and hired or sold, shall abscond from the serv.ceol liisor HER master or mis tress, before the term of such servitude shall be expired, be or SHE so absconding shall on conviction before a justice of the peace, be whipped with thirty nine stripes, anil moreo ver serve two days for every one so lost. Sec. 31 The judges of the several courts of record in this Territory shall give this act in charge to the grand jury at each and every court in which a grand jury shall be sworn. JESSE’B. TAOMAS, Speaker of the House of Representatives. B. CHAMBERS. President of the Council Approved, 17th Sept. 1907. WM. HENRY HARRISON. Under the same circumstances lie approved a law to whip such white \N OMEN and men For trading with servants as were too pool to pay the penalty. 1 he tenth section of an act concerning ser vants approved by him, is as follows: ‘Sec. 10. No person whatsoever shall buy, sell, or receive of, to or from any servant any 1 coin or commodity whatsoever; without the leave or consent ol the master or owner of such servant, and ifany person shall presume to deal with any servant without sueh leave or consent, he or she so offending, shall for feit and pay to the master or owner of such servant, four times the value of the thing so bought, sold, or received, to be recovered with costs by an action upon the case,in any court of Common Pleas of this Territory; and shad also forleit and pay the further sum of twenty dollars to any person who will sre for tire same, or receive on his or HER bare bach thirty-mue Isshes well laid on, at tfie public whipping post, but shaft nevertheless be li.b'e to pay the costs of such suit. The 4th section of an act concerning pri sons, and prison bounds, approved by Harri son, is as inflows: ‘Sec. 4. Ifanv person or persons shall di rectly or indirectly, by any way or means how soever, without the knowledge or privity oi the keeper, convey any instrument or tool, or other thing whatsoever, to any prisoner, or into any prison, whereby any prisoner might break the prison, or work himself or heieelf unlawfully out of the same, eve ry person so offending shall forfeit and pay such fine, as by the direction of the court shall be imposed, not exceeding one hundred dol lars, according to the nature of the cause of the prisoner’s commitment, or suffer such cor poreal punishment, not exceeding FORTY STRIPES, as the court shall inflict; and if it shall so happen that the prisoner shall make his or her escape, by meansofany instrument, tool, or other things so conveyed, without the knowledge and privity of the keeper, the per son so conveying the same shall he liable to pay all such sums of money as the prisoner stood committed for, if on civil process, and shall also have inflicted on him or HER all such punishment as the prisoner would be liable to, if a criminal, and had been convicted of the charge lor which he or she had been com mitted, unless such prisoner would be liable to capital punishment, in which case the per son assisting in such escape shall be punished by fine, imprisonment, WHIPPING, PILLO RY or sitting on the gallows icith a rope a buut his or her neck , or any one or more ol said punishments, as the conn having cogni zance thereof shall think proper to inflet.’ It was light (reasonable)’ to punish these offences, but it was wrong, tyrannical, barba rous, to punish women so ignominiously. It has been truly said, ‘should a distracted wife attempt, by the means described, to place in an unfortunate husband’s hands the means of an escape from the gallows, the law provid ed that she might be FINED. WHIPPED, PL ACED IN THE PILLORY, or be con fined on the gallon's ivith a rope around HER neck! Even for conveying tools into a jail, by the use of which a debtor husband might make his escape, the Court was authorized to fine the fond and faithful wife one hundred dollars, and urder her to receive FORTY STRIPES.’ Harrison assented to, signed, anti approved, these barbarous laws. Had he refused his assent, as Congress had given him the power to do, they would not have and sgraced the Territorial Statutes, i o p r event imposition on this point, we qu-'t from the ordinance of 1787 for the G.\. . merit of the Territory Northwest of the G.... the following extract —see pages 5-6 of the Ordinance, Revised Laws of Indiana, publish ed in 1808: “And the Governor, Legislative f Uouncil : and House of Representatives, shall have au thority to make laws, in all cases, lor the goo government of the district, not repugnant to the principles and articles in this ordinance established and declared. And all bills having passed by a majority in the House, and by a majority in the Council, shall be referred to the Governor for his assent; but no bill or legis- la live act whatever shall be of any force with out his name.” 0 So much for the “Poor man’s friend,” that the independent residents of log cabins are in vited bv the Federal leaders to suppoit. llu ri isoti in favor of and opposed to a United States Bank. In a letter to the Cincinnati Inquisitor dat ed Sept. 19, 1822, and signed by Gentr..- Harrison, is the following clause. 1 ‘I believe that the charter given to the Bank of the United Stales Was tt nconstitution al— it being not one of those measures neces sary to carry any of the expressly granted powers into effect; and, whilst my votes a. Congress will show that I will take any con stitutional means to revoke the charter, my votes in the State Legislature will equally show that I am opposed to those which are unconstitutional and violent and which will bring us in collision with the General Govern ment.’ Well, if a United States Bank be r.ot neces sary to carry into effect the powers expiessly delegated to Congress by the Constitution, of course it is unconstitutional, for upon no other spot of the Constitution do the friends of the Bank place their claim. If, then, it be uncon stitutional, Gen. Harrison could not sign its charter, if he were President, without violat ing his oath of office, and yet in his letter to Snerrod Williams he Mys? ‘ The question then for the to answer is, whether under the c'ircums'ances you state, if elected to the office of President. I would si_Mi an act to charter another bank. I rn swer, I would, if it were clearly trsce ta: t that the public interest, in relation so the < ieeiton and disbursement of the revenue w mnterallv suffer without one, and the.e \v unequivocal manifestations of public o, u. in its favor.’ Gen. Harrisotf will and will net exercise the veto power. The Clcaveland correspondent of the Nr - . York Evening P.ist declares that in a speech ai that place Gen. Harrisott said he would approve any law that Congress Plight pass* if elected. In his letter 1o Verplanck and others of New York republished in the Banner of the 13th. Gen. Harrison says, ‘I ao not consi der the President a constituent branch of the Legislature.’ Now, tlie Legislature is the aw making power, and no act, under the Constitution, can become a taw without the President’s signature. Is it not absurd then’ for a candidate for the Presidency to take the ground that the Executive has no voice in making the laws? ‘Phis policy might, to some extent have a half-way tendency to sh tld Hairison from the odium incurred by signing these monstrous Indiana laws-—but even this policy he has adopted within a verv short period, for .n his fetter to Harmnr ’Denny, dated Dec 2, ISu9, he speaks ol the principles wlii.-h should govern the Executive, as fol lows: * k I hat in the exercise of the veto power, he* should iin.il his rejection of bills to, Ist.
