DEC. 29, 1137.

From tfie Lafayette Free Press. ''WHO' SHALL'. HE THE NEXT PRESIDENT? In our last, we promised more, fully to express the reasons which governed us in selecting Geneial Win. H. Harrison as the man, who should be the candidate for the next Presidency; those reasons we now purpose giving. It is generally known that three distinguished gentlemen are spoken of, namely, Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, aud William Henry Harrison, and no doubt their claims will respectively be urged. If nothing else, the result of th;llast presidential campaign ought to deter our friends in the different sections of the Union from urging Jtoo warmly.thc claims of their respective friends. General Harrison was the last candidate named, he came into the .field late, and at a time w hen three of the most prominent men in the union were in the field? And what was the result? Except the nominee of the president, he outstripped them all. His success was unparralleled. It was unsurpassed. He was the candidate of the people, and around his standard the people rallied. Then let usjforone moment stop here and examine as to the probable success of other candidates who have been spoken of lor this office. Martin Van Buren'will, without doubt, be the offi -e holder's candidate; there will be no division in their ranks, and in order successfully to oppose him, we must prescnt'an unbroken front; and if we do this, we shall defeat him without a doubt. Who then is best calculated to rally around his standard the whole Whig foice? iUmiel Webster and Henry Clay have been spoken of in connection with General Harrison. None nppreciatethe taletitsand integrity of these two distinguished individual., higher than we, and none would be more highly gratified in their elevation to that station, than we. We look upon Mr. Webster as being the best constitutional lawyer,

and the most upright man in the Union; and as an accomplished statesman and orator, we look upon Henry Clayjis b'ing surpassed by none. Hut what avail is this unless the bone and sinew of the country con be concentrated upon them? Nothing. Defeat must still s'.arc us in the face, and we must continue to be tyrannized over by a power-grasping and faithless set of men, whose whole aim and design is

the prostration of our liberties, the demolition of

our charter of rights, and their own elevation on the ruins thereof! In making our selection for President we must look beyond the ordinary quantitation of mere talent to discharge the duties; yea, even of the most consummate talents; we must- do

us did the Republic of Rome in her days of liberty, in thedavsof her Greatest splendor and renown

we must eo to the plough: we must select him whom

the ninioritv have confidence in as tin honest man

him who has been thoroughly tried and not found

m anting.

Should we maltc'choice of Daniel Webster, how

ever unjust the charge, il will be trade, and efTectu ally, too, that ho is a Federalist, a Hartford Conveu

tionist. We say, however unjust the charge, for we conscientiously believe that there ii not in existence a truer republican than Daniel Webster. To prove

thnt ht? is riot the available candidate, let facts be

nubmitted facts that will not lie. Although it is

admitted bv alt, that his talents are surpassed by

none;a!thujrh it is conceded by all, that his name as a poli: iciaa and a statesman stands below none in

the Union, and notwithstanding he has stood as

Lulwaik for the Whigs in the halls of Congress for years past, find his name has been emblazoned from i.ne end if the Union to the other, v;t in the last

-tuivas but one state, and that his o n, came to his help. The unnsumin2 farmer of the North Rend.

who had remained in retirement till he was Jalmost

forgotten, tar outstripped him even in his neighbor

ing stales. It this was the fact then, ami the fact

it was, why now urge his claims, w hen.theeast

irfkctio.i must convince us that the result must

! gain be the samel i.ctus next enquire what of Henry Clay?

Here we need not on argument to prove thatnot

long since the prejudice against this truly worthy citizen wis groat indeed: the next enquiry is, has this prt jodice fully subsided, or cen enough so, to

ensure him the unanimous support ol the now W lug jartr? We think not. Whenever we bring out Henry Clay, we, in a greater or les degree, arouse the old question which has prostrated us for the last fight years. Howsoever unjustly the charge of intrigue and corruption were urged against him, it w ill again lie urp?d w hh force and effect. The old question will be again brought up; old parties w ill again in a great measure, be organized. Those who have iii the last few years in a great measure enlisted under the Harrison banner, will feci coldly disposed, or perhaps entirely leave us, at the idea of bringing forth the man, who, in former days, was so odious to, and whoso claims, when they enlisted under our banner, they expected not to espouse. No, w hen they enlisted under the Whig banner, the y expected to csikriso and urge the

claims of General Harrison, the Hero of Tippecanoe and the Thames. Many of them hoped forever

to put to rest the old political question w hich lias di

vided us, (too fatally lor our ow n good) for tho last

eight years. And now shall we destroy the gool feeling and utuitiimity which has prevailed for the last twelve months, by bringing forward a man, who, it was understood and asserted, had entirely abandoned all claim to the presidency, and which asseveration induced many to espouse the Whig cause? H'cjfor one, say, let us be true to our pledge.

Rut now w hat are the inducements to hold on to

General Harrison? We say they are many.

In the first place, he hi9 not been particularly

identified under either ol the contending parties, which sprung up and have existed during the last

eight or ten years: andconseqrently the prejudices,

(however ill founded,) w hich exist in the breast of

many, cannot be brought to bear upon him.

In the second place, ha is the man, of all others, Lest calculated to concentrate the strength not only

ol the gteat geographical distinctions ol our coun try, but also of the greater political ones.

In the third place, his name has given impetus and strength to the Whig cause, unparalleled, and

even unthought of. Yes, we ask, if we do not owe something to that man, whose name alone led us on

conquering and to conquer, when we ourselves had

almost despaired of the republic, and given up our cause as hopeless t When the boldest hearts, and

most valiant soldiers in our ranks, had given up a

as lost, the name of Harrison reanimated us and led

us on to victory, unexpected and unparalleled. And shall we, can we now abandon that name? We think not; we hope we shall not.

Aod tn the fourth and last place, General Harri

son stands first and foremost in the hearts of our people. Theyhave tried him, and theyjknow

htm.

They know him as a statesman and as a general;

they havejtriedjhim and appreciate his worth; the

greater majority of the community would sooner

trust htm than any other man, and that opinion we

appreciate and will respect; and therefore we say as DavykCrocket, "you are right, go ahead."

FATAL ACCIDENT. A friend has furnished us for publication the following account of an accident that hapj encd a short time'siucc, in Putnam couniy in lias Slate: Dickson's Mills, Dec. 7, 1837.
