That Mr. Pbrry is the former, is the more charitable conclusion; that he is the latter, is a legiiamalo gp one. If the illustrious farmerofNorth-Bend is to be defeated, let it be done with honorable and uniarnished arms, and not by the foul devices offraud and misrepresentation. Our purpose is not so much to. Defend Geo. Harrison against the groundless accusations contained in the Address, (for that hat been done a'thousand times,) as it is to sliow how Mr. Van Buren stands in relation to the ssnfe charges. Gen. Harrison lfe denounced as- a Federalist. We have alrq|dy shewn the denunciation to be unjust. Now w demand lobe informed what Mr. Van Bureu Is? Has he evjer been a Republican? Is he now .either in theory or practice? Judgo him by Ins associations now, and during hrs-pasrpplitical life, and what is tie? We call atteutlon again, to th<* uas iy important fact, indraputnblo and incontrovertible, that the very foulest Federalists of the prespnt day,? m- n -who have : within the last three.years proclaimed in i ^na??-hail of the Union, their federal i affinities and principles, are the broad substratum upon which the superstructure of the Van Burcn party is now reared. Men who announced upon the .floor of the American Congress during the late war, when portion of our gallant nrmy had encountered disastrous defeat with a great sensation of indiscribable pleasure, the fulfilment of the predictions of. the Federal party concerning that war nnd the complete triumph of Federal principles {such as J. H. Prentiss of New Yoi k;) men who have boldly declared ih?-y would have been Tories had they lived in the days of the revolution (such as J. Ingersol! ofPlwIadelphin) are now the clamorous supporters of Yau Boren and h s party, with their principles and measures. Do these facts prove noth ing? Areihey useless and powerless in a j discussion I'ke thi?? Will t.ey be disenr. ded by the people as nothing worth? We shall tee. We admit that the political associates of a statesman are not alwuys 10 be regarded as infallible indices of his poliiieal principles. He may be thrown in bad company by the accidents of his station; he is bound nevertheless to show lie has been thrown there in the manner supposed. Unfortunately however, for Mr. Perry nnd his illustrious . ** WeateC we have it ip our-pdwer, to point to the acts of the lajter, for the evidence of his federalism?his thorough black cockade ^ t % federalism. Mr. Vau-Buren opposed the late war, and wps nt that-period an open mouthed Anti-war Federal st. Ho opposed James Madison, the Republican war c'.inJidate, for the Presidency, artd as rite leader of the Antuwar Federal party-devoted hi's intrigues to secure the election of Mr. Clin* ton the Federal peace candidate. How c*m Mr. Van Burcn, or Mr. Perry.for him settle this foul account of wrong against his country? The right of An erican seamen to navigate the broad blue ocean, free from impressment by the haughty Briton, the sacred inviolability of the glorious banner of ' the stars ot?d atr pes, the dignity and honor of the nation were invaded, and were to be vindioated. And who vindicated them? Whoac voice pealed out tones of thrilling I anima ion and encouragement to our young but brave hearted country, nt that memorable period? Was it the voice ol Mr. Van Burcn? Was it tl?e voice of his associates? Were they ready to repel Brit, isb aggression and upbear t1w glorious standard of the Union, or mike it their winding sheet? No. And the history of the country and living responsible witnesses respond, No. We defy. truthful contradiction of what we say. And is it necessary for us to inform Mr. Perry that the war ques:ion of 1812 was the test question between the Republican party and the Pt dcral part} ? the Republicans rallying to the support of Madison and the war; the Federalist led by Mr. A an Burcn to the support of Clin, ton; and against the war. He most cer ?nl? wmnnt be itfnorant of this nortmn of WHIJ o ? f w. the history of our country. We will now propound a question to Mr. Perry: Had ha lived at the period of the war of 1812, would he have been Jound ulong with Clay and Harrison supporting Mr. Madison and his measure*, or along with Van Burcn and Rufus King supporting Mr. Clinton? Would be have defended the flag of his country along with the whole Republican party* or along with Van Boron and the whole Federal party permitted it to bo trodden down in dishonored dust? We do uol doubt in the leas: that bis attachment to the Union, for exceedsTiis-affeciiqp lor the J State, nnd although he was fcun l not many j years since in the ranks of the enemies of the latter, he might have been National enough*to have been with his counUy in 1812. How it was possible for Mr. Perry to do. clare Mr. Van Buren -*had been jhe open ^old and tin comprorrvs:ng advocate of the war of 1812," is utterly beyond our cortception. Was he ignorant of his opposk tion tQ that groat Republican measure.?? That would be a humiliating cenfetsion.? Was he acquainted with it but suppressed | ii? That would be a degrading admission. i We impute neither ignorance norsupprcs sion to Mr. Perry, but leave him to disentangle himself frerfl the web which he has woven about him. The further charge is made in the Ad dress that Gen. Harrison is a T-iriffite. und his vote on the "Bill of Abominations ' in I iftoa ?h.7.flv relied on to support it. For J 13 V/'l'v i* j ^ his course on that occasion, wc condemn ["Gon. Harrison. With his subsequent <lccijjrayons nnti possuion we are wholly satis- 1 fied.' He d;d vote Tor the TurdF of 1828,! but he has made that reparation to his \ country, which that country demanded.? , To the compromise of 1833 the whole South j assented, nnd now assents; and it was re- j yarded as an ubiding basis of settlement j relative to if. Is Gen. Harrison opposed I I to it? Can Mr. P rry answer, or will he | i pjay dummy? Whether he- answers or j j. holds his peace matters not. The whole' Union knows that Gen-. Harrison is pledged j to sustain rhe compromise at every hazard, j and that is all the South asks. Whatever} then may have been his position upon the 'Tariff previous to 1833, he now stunds solemnly pledged to tlie great measure of' the compromise and has atoned for his vote in 1828. . ^ Now lot us advert to the course of Mr. ! \r.v Rrr?Kv in Bc'fercnce to the Tariff, j * AH - Whore is he, and wherodias ho always been ; on that subject ? ilas he ev<r denounced ; the TariiraS unconstitutional ?

The race between them was something like that between the hare an J thO tortoise?The. ashes gut the start of the lime a long way, but the lime; like the tor'oise, made up irr lastingwss, for want of quickn&s at the jump; and finally he has in & great measure j given up jhe use of ashes for that of lime? i Yet tie shewed us a single lot of five acres | agniust which n regular occount Had been ! n|*enc<] and kept; as ougfit to bo done in oil cities of fair and-careful experiment;?and his word, in which one may pHt gospel faith, was, that fhi$ lot, which cost $20 an acre, and on wh/ch $20. an acre of ashes had. boen sjrfead;?whic[i when he took it in hand, would not have^ yielded a bushel to the acre, hnd paid him back his twenty dollars purchase money, his twenty dollars for ashes, and both of them three times over.
