The L'alic | in this quotation uro his own. Now wo.have pai soma attention to what has been published o: this sulyaet, and wo* have never beer able to se the thadow of evidence that there is cny grea party in tire country, 01 mj rop :cta'j e nuniboro indiyidua.lt, or any single individual of high roa- j pectability or of much influence, in any : pafty vvlto favors tho assumption of State debts by tho federal government. We admit that Mr. Sumter hab had better oppor- ' tuuitics of information on this subject than we have had. If such evidence is produccable wo would be glad to see it. As to a prolocting ta- ' riff, all the in formation which wo have been able ' to collect on the subject has led to the conclusion that at tho north both panics are divided on tho * question, and therefore neither says much about ' it; the majority of both is probably in its favor; * whilst at tho South both partios arc decidedly ' and unanimously opposed to it. It, in truth, forms ' no part of the ground of present pirty distinc" j ' tious. The fact that tho candidate for the Presi- ' dcncy selected by the party with which Mr. Sumter acts, voted for the two most extravagant. tariff -bil s -ever bafore Congress, would seem to j , " I i shew that opposition to tariffs of protection can- j not bo- a cardinal principle with that parly. Wo : take side with neither party. Our aim only is to j' present the truth fairly in regard to both. He " who is not satisfied with tills must fear that the ^ truth alone" will not answer the purpose at which he aims. On page 12, tha writer, of the circu-11 lar still speaking of the Indcpondent.-j Treasury, says: 4,Oiie of tho arguments upon which the opposition mainly relied, was the want of safety for the pub.ic money while entrusted to the care of individual doposi. tavics. They arguo that no American, especially ' 1 -hi. aL. it lio bo a republican, can be trumca wun ino , . keeping of the public money. Thai, I repeat, | was thi argument in substance." We knew it , bad been argued against the sub-treasury scheme, j Hhat owing to the unquestioned dishonest/ of very t , many men, it would be difficult, if notimpossiblo in"the selection of so many.officcrs as the scheme fcquiied, to avoid taking some who would prove unfaithful and embezzle the public money, or runaway ~wit!? it; but we did not know it had boon argued by the "opposition" "that no Arnc- j rican, especially if he'be republican, can bo I rust- j cd with the keeping of the public money." If1 Mr. Suuitci will furnish us. with the hames of, those who thus slandered tbeir couutry, or some at i le^st of them, with the ipsissima verba, the very J words used by them, he? will oblige us.' Such j slanderers of their count ry ought to be lield up to i public scorn. * ' ? In the latter part of die circular Mr. 'Sumter 'labors to identify ten. Harrison with modern: abolitionism; and his quotations and. statement ! are well cdloulated to make a strong impression i 011 minds not acquainted w ith the all' the fucM in the case- He makes a quotatiou from the -journal of the OljiaSe'naJo.-iti January 1820, which takerr alone, wo?W seem-to represent Gen. Harrison fcvorhig abolitionism, when the fadt was that tlironglioiit the proceedings on the subject, he actq^l ngainsrthe abolition party in the Legislature, and with those-Cyho opposed then;. * The circular al#) quotes-a brief extract froni'A letterof Gen. JIarrisori's, stating that he "became a meipber of afh Abolition society when 18 years of age." Bui the date of the letter is omitted, thus leaving it to be inferred that it was of <#cent date, wherea# it was written twenty years ago, when -tire temft Abolition bore a different meamng 1 * * 9 . , ^ora wliatit now doss* and no Illusion at-adl Js ; made lha explanation of the writer's meaning, and ' of therenj obj^fct of (he society, recently famished by hinwtr aod by Othdrs. . When tlie reader relied* thrttihe society was in Virginia, and .com- J po3cd of Virginians, he will hardly be ready to identify it. cither in spirit or principle with the abolition societies of-tho present day. The circular also contains a shdrt extract from ! , the Chcv^pt Speech Of Gen. Harrison whiih no ( tnait who has lead that speech- can say contains ,1 any thit^g-lilce k fair vieyeof the General's opinions ( as expressed it the wholc-speech on the subject of i slavery and abolition.; and-no notice at.all is taken j of the Vincenrtes speech, winch a fair stateinentof the Cencml'sopinionaon the-subject re.pjjrfcd. Next follows what purports to bO"a statement of the ballotings" at the Harrfsbnrg*Convention; and it is stated that "no one delegation from the* % * * # I Southern Stales voted for Gen Harrison." Now this is true as lo the first balloting?; biU it is also, true fliat all the soatlrern delegates finally voted j for Gen. Harrison; for the nomination was made 1 by ananimoiui- vote. Though an opjxjsite conclusion would follow from the account of the circular. Again the circular says! "The nomination of Gen. Harrison was hailed witlidijumph by tjie abolition organs.'' and thcn'fullows wh^t pur r t o _ ports lo be a quotation from the Ernarifcipator,. t from which we extract-the c&ncludinglines"ts * follows: "Lgt the windsTeU jhc taio?lot the ' ^slaveholders hear the netffs?let foreign nations hear* it?let O'Cofinol hear it?let ifie Blaves hofcrit?a slaveholder is incapacitated for the . Presidency of the United[ States. The reign of > lavo'crftcy is hastening to a.ciose. Tins rt-' jection of Hertry Clay, and (he ^nomination cf William Htnry Harrison, by'the Whig Con, vention, taken in connection with all the cir cumstances, is one ot the heaviest blows the s monster slavery has received fn this country." Now the object of this professed* quotation is manireirly to make the impression on the . reader '.hat the Drnancipi'or* prefers . Gen. 1 Harrison to Mr. Van Buren,.for these are now \ the candidates for tl?c Presidency; atid it would r not answer the purpose wh>ch Mr. Sumter evi dcQtly hid in view to make it appear that abolit lionists We Cen. Harrison, if they love Mr. Van t Buren still more; for in that case southern men r would be apt to prefer Gen. H. Weil the truth is s that the Em incipator did, soon alter the Harris. burg nomination express a preference for Mr. Van . Buren, as a choice of evils. If, therefore, it exuh, k ted at the nomination of Gen. Harrison, it would, 1 r of course, have exulted still more had Mr. Van ! Buren been nominated.

Mr. Sumter quotes from the Phi" I d lanthropist, an abolition paper published in Cin-'' cinflatti, -Ohio, a sentence claiming as an abolition n victory the nomination of Gen. H. by the Whigs as p a candidate for the Presidency. The object of this I quotation is, evidently', to make the impression that P leading abolitionists consider Gen. Harrison fhvor- Bl ably disposed towards their cause; But the fact is ? not stated that the abolitionists, have, from hostility ! p to both the candidates, for the Presidency, been led to nominate a candidate of their own. Apothcr Tact bearing somewhat 'upon , * die ' quotation from tho Philanthropist is i omitted?perhaps it was not known "to Mr. ^ Sumter;?namely that although the Plrilaiithrepist for some time, favorecVtlie election of Gon.
