From the Southern (IWetumpka) Criis. GENERAL HARRISON'S VOTES AND PRINCIPLES. In June 1798, fie w as a ppointed Secreta rv of the North Western Territory-by old John Adams: the great party leader of the Federaliats. We u)ust judge of the light in which be viewel the political character -6f-liairrison by the well known fact that "he choose oficers exclusive from men of his own political opinions." 'lie received his appointment in the same month, that Adams signed the odious Alien and Sedi tion Law. .1n'December, 1799, ie came into Con -gress as a delegate fion the Territory. -rite organ or the Republiyau party, at that day, the -t\rora, says. "Mr. Harrison, of the North Western Territory, is a Fed eralists!" On the 12th May, 1800, John Adams appoint,-d him Governor of the Territory of Indiana. .Jonathan Dayton, a Federal. .ist.a5d-supporter-ol Adams and a speaker of the House of Representatives, was an applicant for the office. Harrison. how ever, succeeded in obtaining it; and that too at a time when, as Jelf'erson tells us. in his correspondence. "none put the jaithful were appoitmed to office." In September, 1807, as will he more fully shown by a reference to page 22 of the "Crisis," he, as Governor of Indianta. having the veto power, approved and sign .cd.a.zaw, providiog for ti:e selling or hir *ing of all persons who vere too poor to sat isly state exerntions; and for the tchipping writh 39 lashes, of all such as runaway frotn their masters after havitg been so sold! In the same month ard year he approv ed and] signed a law, tequairiug a property qualification of 50 acres of land, of' u.leas $100 value, in every voter for representa tive! The above laws evince the strong Federal spirit of that party. in those days; when it was their design to restrict the priviledge of voting to it fe1-w as pomible to give as much power to tle ieh, as could .well be filched from the poor and laboring class. .In 1816, General Iarriston was elected to Congress front Ohio, it January, 1S17. lie proposed itt Cotigres a plhr. for orgniz ing the militia, anl as much abuse has been lately heaped upon the administration .for its plan to drill the tmilitia, at the cost of ,half a million. we invite particular atten tion to 11arrison's plan, as published on 1st page of the 2d tiutmber of the "Crisis." It was "to educate every boy itt the United States at the public expense." atid at a cost, at ttat time, according to his own es timate of 'lone millioti, nine hundred thoutand dollars!" This plan, would now cost four million of dollar-,. and it also evin ces thestrong Fed-ral spirit which anima ted llarrison-a spirit which would grind down the people by taxes to support atn immense body of men, itt arm, in time of peace, subjeci, according to his plan1, to imrmediate orders from the President only. without the intervention of the Governor -of-the-States! inl ISIS, he voted for a series of resolu tins declaring that Coingress had power nio.build roads and canals and improve -water courses for commercial and other purposes. These resolutious involved a most extravagant and expensive system of Internal Improveletts. stich as catn only be authoized by a subversion of the State.% Right -doctrine. In this same year. itwas announced in Niles' Register, see vol. 2, page 391, new series, that -Gett. larrison has announced that he will not be a candidate for Con -gress rt -rhe -nert election." In 1819, he %oted to adit Missoug into -the Union. oni the score, that France, itt selling us the cottry, had stiputlated for .the pterservtion~t of its slatve property. H ec expres5"ed nto Coitstiintionail scruliest and al erwatrds, nhen, it Ohio thtis vote was appealed to, lhe said,;-my Missourti votes is not inOonstistent with any anit-stavery tutnons. jli: friends have saidl thatt lie becatme a martyr to his Southern pirinciles, on ac-* countt ofI this v'ote. It wvill be- se n thtat be dleclineid beitng d candidate agaitt, the year before hec gave the vote. In fact, whenm lie -did give the vote, his successor had been elected! In 1820, he went into the Legislature of 'Ohio, and there gave the clearest atnd most decided testimointy as to his notions of slavery, andi any' one cotuld ask, n Iho was .previously it doubt. lIe initrodneed. sutp. .ported and voted fotr, a Preamble anid Res olutions, which are pulished int futll itt Niles' Register for 1520, and on 12th hiage of the Crisis, pronoutncitng 'slavery to lbe a moral and political evil"-that "its tent deney is directly to itmpair our Nattional character-thtat "it is fra-tght with fearful conlsequecnces to the dutrability of our Re publicant itnstitutions," and ittstnetttig the senators from Ohio 10 vote against the ex tension of slavery in thteTerritories, anid in1 aty tnew State tnorth of Missoturi." 'lTis invuolves not onaly docuiaes danger ous to our institution of slavery. bittstrong Federal pirinciptles, which were reprobated by Jeilersont, as will he seen by a refe~retnce to page 323, 4th vol. of his c'orrespontd enc. e will pubtlish this valuable let ier in full in our next number. Int 1821, he voted for at law, w'hich we htave sevecral times ptibli--hed, providinig that if any person shall lie unable to pay State fine ann costs, lie shall tbe 'sl. at public out:ery, to the htighe.'t bitdder" who will satisfy the Stau' ('eeutiton, (in ten dlays' notice beiing given of said sale of the poor mant! Int 18322, Ilarrisont again heeame a eatn dlidate for Congress. Somtie vinhl-ntt piarti zan enemy accused him tof beinte "a friettd to slavery." lie thus5 antsweredn tihe charge through the colitis of the Philantropist, an abolitiont paper-"ellow -citizents, he ing called suddently homte toi attend tnv sick family, I have but a moment to ant swecr a fewv Of the comue whIich aire in circulation against mec. I have bemen ac cut-ed of being friendlfj to sluatry." "At the age of eighiteen I beenime a member of an abolition society1." "T[he obligations I then came under, I have faithfully per - formedh." &c. lie goes on very effectual ly to prove that the charge was a false one. Itt 182-5. he went into thietUnited States Senate. WVhile in that body. he voted to survey the country between Mississippi and Apalachiecola, for ittland ntavigation ..pe. lie vn~odagainst repeated mao. tions to stralo out large appropriations -o 'the Cumberland road and other ojects of the kind, made by the-Republican party. He voted for- Government to take stock in the Louisville and Portland Canal Comr pany. in 1827, he voted against a proposed reduction ft' duty on tea; and that ou col Iee, fron 5 to 3 cents. In all these votes lie opposed Tazewell, Macon, Berrien, Randolph, White and Van Buren! In 1828, he-voted for that hill of abom inations, the High Protective Taria, which eventually in its unjust and onerous oper ation, caused South Carolina "to ctlen late the value of the Union," and to nulli. fy its oppressive a-nd unconstitutional ac tion! In 1831, he madte a speech in Ohio in eulogy of this same Tariff, asserling that "niot one of the eiHs predicted of the Tar ifl'had'happeu, and not one of the advan tages which were promised ly it, but had been realized." What say you to this. Nullifier's of that day? lie moreover as serted that "nothing h.mtle.olly ofabti-. doning the Tarifrean-bHug us back to the hard times through which %ie have just passed!" In !833. in a speech at-Chevioe, Ohio, ie -ave as containing the principles upait which he wished the governmenit to be ad ministered, "the Proclamation and Welb sier's speeches in exposition of it," thus in a few words avowing the strongest Felt. eral doctrines, even as enterrained by a member of the traitorous Huartford conven tiotn. In relation to Harrison's opinion of National Bank, lie has declared that he believes it to be "unconstitttioual." bil that "should there he nanifestatios l public-opiiionti, -unequivocally-in iis:itvor, he should unbesitatingly sign a bill for its charter, if he was elected!" CaOt there be an avowal oftnore dantigerous principlc of action! The constibution weith him has no weigh. if a majority wishes otherwist! In 183:3, ie again endorses his old itsti slavery-ave! anl abolition priticiples, b3 propo-ding to aid ,tie cause of emaucipa tion, by.appropriating the whole of tht sLirplus revenue to that object." Aw,' h-. p irsuing stch , course, lie hopes that "tw is not far disant. when the sun nill not shine tpon[a North America slave!" The above is an outline, faithfully 'iv ell. of Harrison's cival career-of the avow. als of his principles, as far as we can get at ilit througha speeches and votes, We ave a right ta say, that all of the pritci ples above laid down as his, are still en ertained by himt for in a letter written i'. his conscientee keepers, he-refuwes to make -any farther declaration of his principles" -satys that they have been often expressed -and that such as they are, "tltey hav: mndergone no change."-Do they comi" tip to either standard which we have e rected to guage his principles by? Ye -they agre precisely with te Feder; doetrine. They can all be covered by board latitudinous construction of the con iatmon. 'hey -cannot, 'however, stan' the test of a rigid aud strict construction o; that charter of oatr Nation's rihts. l the above votes, laws, speecles. &c.. Geta. Iarrison is proveti to be a Iigh Protec ive Tariff man-to tei an inrial Im provementa man, in its most extended sens -to be so strotig a Federalists ns to per uit the "will ora mr;ajority" to coantrol hi sense of the .ositution!-to be eaneimy of he poor maan in two wa s-itn one, not let ig hit vote, if not worth 50 acres ol latid-and in other selling him, if too poor. to pay a state fite, and thippingf him, i:. eanting aller Itis liberty, ie dares to cast a idle his chains and ldeu from lik task mairi ter!-and equal to it all, to have been u"an nemy to sucry" sf/he bluck men. si n< he was 18 vears of age." Is Gener-al llatrrison the "least of to vils?" We think thatt we have distinctly shown thtat there can be nto greater evil tif tteat for Saitthernt choaice. No, nail eveat were otld Johni Attaims alive, anad the onk adidiaate oppoutsintg him n! For lie as I . its net knttw of! his views, is free fromx thet tan olhiavinig tneed every exerttioni, pitliti cal andl a ietrwise, tat free thle slave pro trty of'the South -is free f'rtom the c'haary f hta.ving voteda to sell his follow tman at jahlic aatery, because tooi pour to paty ebt to the State!

MIClAF.L GEARTY, Near Mt. Vintage, S. C. Kneth 23.,1840d 8 NEW VOLUME. To be Published Weekly ! PROSPECTUS OF THE AUGUSTA MIYIIMR. A Weekly Literary Journal. By W. T. TnomtPsos. Contemplating a material improvement of thle Mirror, on the comneicement of the en suing volume, we have already connenced making the necessary ariangetents lbr that purpose, and its we 4tok with confidence to our friends and. patrols for eucourigemuent. we hnve deterdtined to give them this early notice 6f our design. Though it semi-monthly issue was 'deened to be the mlost expedient in the conlinenice ment of the puliicintiot of the Mirror, when tile ground'iftih' it occupied. being ex clusively devate'd to literature, wasye t untried. and when our domestic resources were yet un. known-we feel that the time has now arrived weten a weekly pnhiication is demanded. En tertainuing this convictiont wi e have) frsolved -to issne the ensuning violinne weekly, and to make such iiprovemwent. in the appearanc and plan ofthe work. as will render it stilltnore worthy the liberal patrowntge of the souithern public. Firmly believing that the only means requi site to placeotir doimestic literainre upon an eqality with that of any other sectioan of the miln.'s the establishment of a literary medi tnm'at home, of snfiicient standing and charac tF.r to divert it into its propierIichatmel-we are resuh ed to render the 11 it roir egartti in ailtear. aniice with any of the Northern journals of the samne kink, a'nd if the friend., of southern liter ature will unite in giving it the reputation widch southern genits nid sonthern taleits are so etiiiiiently capable of iiparing to its pa es. we dott not that we Ahnll be able to ren der the woirk intich more acceptable to the south erti public. With a view of accomplishing this design we shall secure the assistance of an bil-- idjanci in the i-ditoirial departmtit .and shall spate neith i r pains nor expense to give character and in trest to the work. No matereal change will be made in the plai or arran-ement of the Mirror, which will still be devoted to geieral iterntire. except the ifn trodnefictrtf a critiical depattment for the re view of tnew works. which will be in tlhe-httnds iffa gentleunanof approved taste a::d mat'tre jdgement. The .1 irror will be printed on sit Ii-ritir paper with handsome new tylpe., and will !e exec-ttled with.the strictest regrad to neatness !inrl taste ili its typo- raphy.

By this arrangement the readers ofthe Mir rIr will. besidesheing supplied with a volum 411 largi- inarfio pagesof choi-e literature. re-eive as tntch niews iatter in the conrse of' the vear as is confain d in most of the ntiw..pt. pet., of the day, and all for the addititional harire of nitly tu o dollars to our present sup seri lit in price. We sinc-rely hope the above plan for onr i ird volume will ieet the approbation af every friend of southerin literattire. We have always cotsillered the . \irror, embracing as it discs int its desigi, the broad relpilie ofletters, best tdap td to roster our infait literature. More diver sified in the charar ter of its contents thia the grver and iar,- dignified magazine. raniging as it iloes l'roi'the irllighter -to the more ele valed braiiches of literary cottiposition, "From grareto gly. from licely to sererc." it is certainly best sited to the tastes of te reatest number; and wh.le it alfords epally whoilesome ind refre-shing draughts for the well-read mind, itattracts and lures the Volilu to drink of the Parnassian str nm. We lave riimed its the adoption of the contemplated im prevemelents to plitae -the Mirror upon an eqia.
