AIT ADDRESS ?. | TO THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. AND ESPECIALLY TO THE VOTING MEMBERS OP SAID SOCIETY. Respected Friends—With a view of tatitfrinv myself, and some friends and acquaintances in the State of New York, where I reside, relative to the moral, intellectual and physical fitness of William Henry Harrison to occupy the Presidential chair of our country, 1 here visited Ohio, and h#d several interviews with Gen. Harrison. I have also heard him deliver tbred public speeches, and ao far at I am able to judge from such a limited acquaintance, I pronounce him fully capable and eminently worthy of occupying the highest office in the gift of the citizens of the United State*. Hitherto, (although I am fortfcstwo years old,) I never cast a vote for. Presidential electors* having conscientious scruples of the propriety of Christians actively participating in political government*. Bui after a mature and weighty consideration of the subject, I have cpme to the Conclusion that it is not only proper, but my duty, when two candidates for any important official station are before the people, one of whom mint be eleoted, to make myself, (as far a* I consistently can,) acquainted with their relative qualifications and claims for the office; and that if I become satisfied, (all things considered,) that one is far preferable to the other, that I ought to vote for him, regardless of the party that may have nominated him; thus acting as a member of the one body politic of our country, instead of a party. Tn resolving therefore to support Harrison for the Presidency, I do not design to identify , myself with atl that his friends say and do,or with all that be.lias hitherto as a public man said or done, but from an acquaintance with the principles, character* and public acta of Harrison and Van Buren, (having once resided in the same place that the latter did A I esteem the former far preferable to the latter; therefore, in voting for Harrison I consider that I merely

express my choice of the two men, one of whom, in all human probability, must be President. This is the courae of conduct that I consider Christian principle Christians of the United States now doubtless hold the balance of power between the two great political parties of the nation, and hence if they would exercise it in reference to Christian principle and public good, they might henceforward secure the services of the best men that the two political parties may present for their suffrage. As political abolitionists are undoubtedly the minority of this republic, it would be anti-democracy for them to force rulers of their exclusive choice upon the nation, if by a political organisation and shuffle they could de so, I must, therefore, from the principles pf Republican Democracy go against such a measure, so long as I believe abolitionists are a minority in this our republic hecause 1 believe the law of nature end of nature’s God dictate* that the majority should ._i.i— otntntantiy arms vs votaries with no law but truth and persuasion to put down evil with—if these fail coercion is the prerogative of Jehovah alone. Hence my friends will see why Igo against a third political organization. Under existing circumstances it wars against democracy. Correct public sentiment, by truth, love and persuasion, and correct legislation will inevitably follow. But for the minority to suppose, that under any possible circumstances, it might be right to coerce the acts ' of the majority in a Republican government, i* to suppose, that an effect may exceed the cause. Incoming to a conclusion relative to the claims of 1 candidates for our suffrage, if upon one important topic they appear to be equally balanced, then we 1 should weigh them upon other topics of the most importance. Friend*’ sentiments upon the important topic of Slavery are generally known, that while they deprecate it as a great moral and political evil, they also disapprove all unconstitutional or coersive measures. To inflame the passions is but to close the mind against the appeals of truth. Admitting that Harrison and Van Boren stand nearly upon a par io relation to slavery, still there are other important topics upon which they may be weighed. I ask neither of them to pledge what he will do, but I coqsuk their principles and past acts relative to wh*f they may do.. Their principles and acts relative to the Indians are very dissimilar. When 1 inquired of Harrison the course he would pursue with the New York Indians, if he should be ejected President, he replied, “I will do them justice, so far as I maybe called to act in relation to them.” “But," he continued, “I can give you no pledge relative to what they may be, but 1 will give you something better than pledges. I refer you to my past acts towards the i Indians when Governor of Indiana, and to my message* relative to them to the legislature. In one or I two instances, when Governor of Indiana, I with- < stood the General Government, because I thought it < demanded more than justice did of the Indians. I never would conclude a treaty with the indians ” he 1 continued, “unless I believed it would be satisfactory to the tribe after made.’’ He then referred me to -JokirJohnson, for many years an Indian agent under Harriaon, for proof of his assertions. I called upon Johnson who abundantly confirmed all that the geneial had said. As I have recently visited the Seneca! Indians in New York, and heard the statements or of some of the head chiefs or that tribe, relative to Van Boren’s conduct towards them as Pr,.irl.m „ri —the United e-nd-lei toy -frhnnhrcontrast it with that of Harrison. I have in possession ample prpofof the correctness of the following 1 faofs,;. , ( During li.e last sortinn of Congress, Van Buren signed and proclaimed, as the law of the land, a trea-i jy which refjuirevrtbi iSiepeca Indians of New York to.deliver within three years to.the Ogden piny, of which one of hit.sons is said to be a propriTy ator, all of their lands in New York, comprising a.*

* si - * • a, >W /, tout 118,000 acres; some of which adjoining the city of Buffalo, is said tb be worth from one to five hundred dollars peracre, end i{ it worth probably upon an average 12 dollars pergore; and the United Slate* Government ia bound by the treaty to pay 400,000 dollar* relinquiahiog thajr claim* to Green Bay land* —hut the Indians declare that they haye no claim upon such land*. The philosophy or treaclisry of thus making Government pay for lands that (he Ogden Company are to receive, is more thao I can develops. I merely state what I learnt from the Indiabs; responsible white men vouch for its CorrectnessPrevious to Die ratification of this singular treaty, Um Seneca Nation senla delegation of four of their Imad chiefs, and three responsible, white agents, to Washington, who testified to t’ Senate and President of the United Bt*tps,tlut the treaty which the ■ President had Uid before the Senate for consideration *M. not nor could not be binding upon the Seneca Indians; for it was not the treaty of that nation, , Out the treaty of a minority of its chicle- who f lad been bribed and unlawfully enticed to sign the , i aid treaty. And that the majority of tjuf chiefs of , I heir nation, and fifteen out of sixteen bf It* mem* ■ I era disclaimed the treaty. Among thd delfgation - rasone of the bribed chiefa, who testified against I imself, that the act of signing the treats was unaulio.rized, and therefore not binding upotj his nation, rltey exhibit the affidavit of John General, a chief ,f the Seneca nation, residing at Buffalo, which deposed “that while Commissioner Gilbert was in Buffalo, (an Indian runner for the Ogden Company) enticed him into a tavern ib Buffalo, where lie was pressed to drink some ardent spirits, which he did, and finally became intoxicated, in which state he was strongly pressed to sign assent to the amended treaty, which lie constantly refused, and that hqJias since bean informed hit name is affixed to it; ana he tolemoly declare* that he never so fixed it, unless when so drunk that lie did not know it, and hat never since remembered it!" .By an iyffidariujgiu>d by eight of the chiefs they showed that thraf Indians of their nation hadattacbed their names te the treaty at chiefs, who obtained their election bykeham election at i larded in- Buffalo.- By sundry documents they exhibited, that to eight of their chiefs the payment of $21,600 wae promised upon the faith of written articles, duly executed by the Agent of the Ogden Company, as a reward for signing the treaty, and seducing their fellow ohiefs to do the same—-this money to be paid within three months after thp ratification of the treaty.

But the time has expired, and tjie contracts have not been paid—and’ it is now found that the bribing agent isalpne hidden, and lip is worth nothing. The Senate’s Committee on Indian Affairs, after learning the foregoing facts, reported against the ratification of the treaty. But still, through some influence or other, (the rich Ogdon of New York was at Washington) the Senate was equally divided, and the Vice President gave the casting vote; and with > knowledge of all the bribery and corruption-att ending that treaty, Martin Van Buren signed it as President of the United States. To me, it seems as though every Senator, as well as the Vice President and President in sanctioning that treaty, endorsed all the bribery, treachery, and wickedness of its origin, and therefore for me to support either of them for a public office, without knowing that they had repented of god confessed this public sin, would render me a participator of the same. The time lias pome, in my opinion, for Christians to hold publio men responsible for their public sips, and to have no fellowship with them, but rather reprovethem by voting against them. Unless this course is pursued, and chrietian principle and influence are brought to bare upon public men, enr country,! fear, is destined to destruction! Under a fearful and weighty apprehension of this kind, I invite the friends of Liberty and Justice to throw their influence across the paths of political gamblers.

tU policy of the Administration of oufGovernment is; that the Indians shall go west of the Mississippi. The prosecution ofthis policy by foul means, has already produced the Black Hawk and Florida Wars, and expended perhaps fifty millions of money, with the destruction of two thousand lives. And the result of a forcible removal of the New York Indiana, I have no doubt, would he a general Indian War upon oHr western frontiers. One of the heads of the Seneca Nation said to me,“lf the Whites are determined to have our lands, let them pqmq and tomahawk us, and bury u* by our fathers, and pot thus meanly a rive us from ony homes.’’ Believing that the election of Genarat Harrison will result in the annulling of this fraudulent treaty, and ip ending the disgraceful and expensive Florida War, if there was no cause of preference in him, save this prospect, I should esteem his election of vast importance, And knowing that some friends in New York State are fearful in consequence of the reiterated false statements of one class of newspapers, that tin-rim. ;■ not capable ©f filling the Presidential chair by reason of age and lack of talent, I do hereby testify, that it is the unanimous testimony of the members of the Society of Friends in this city and vicinity, who are personally acquainted with General Harrison, that he ia in all respects, in their opinion, well qualified to fill the station of President of the United States; and all that I have conversed with, say he shall have their support for the same.

HARRISON Vs. VAN BUREN, The following eompafison and contrast-of the prin ciples of the the two candidates before the American people for the highest office iu their gift. W'e recommend to the earnest attention of our reader*. By it, it will be easy to chooae which of the two to support, on (he ground of. republicanism. Let every volpr learn U by hearing that:—Straight Out Har. Van Buren eaye: - - “I cannot recommend too strongly to yourconsid. eration (lie plan submitted by Mr. Poinaett (Secretary of War) for the organization of the 200,000 militia of the United statts."— {Jlfettage.) “The spirit of independence amdig the American people requires some intimidatint power to prevent them from running to excess in thiir false notions of Democracy.”—(Letter to a noblenqn.) Hanisen eaye: A rigid accountability of public officer* for authority ot money vested in lieir hands, not to the Executive but to the people. “A full expose pf all frauds upon the Government, and no hushing up of the amount* Swartwouted cr the names of public defaulter#.” Ton Sierra eayei. Any officer who shall violate the provisions of this section, (viz. “fail to ft ve a satisfactory account of ; all disbursements,) shal.'be removed from office, or restored to his trust, ai to the President may seem proper.”— (Sub Treatury law.) Employing a set of unprincipled swindlers and public robbers—placing in their h*nd* public monies a* a reward of party seKicjßSr-and then by law screening the miscreants ' from the public eye! '

Harrieon says: ' “The will of the people the law of the land, through their representatives.” “I bold it to be the duty of the President to see td the execution of the laws, and leave to Congress, the m*kmg of them.” “No officer under the exepntiye control should take any part in elections, s*v tq deposit hi* own vote.”— Speech. Van Buren eaye: “The people are but poor interpreters of the Gpqatitution, and expect :oo much of the Government.’’ — Menage. The Executive will the law of the land; a proscription, of State sovereignly by Executive command; bargaining with Stale Senators, and commanding the army of his patronage to use not their influence only but the monies of the public treasure for partisan purpose* and the accumulation of power; placing a member of his cabinet at the head of a public print to forestall popular opinion in his favor by misrepresentation and sophistry. Herrie on eaye; “The encouragement of prodnetiye industry and the security of full wages to the laborer is of lit* utmost importance to oar national prosperity.” “Give preference to articles that are of the growth and manufacture of our own country, and abstain from the use of imported goods of every description as far as practicable.”— Speech at Cincinnati. Van Buren eaye: “From all attempts to compete with foreign manufactures.” “American productions and American manufactures are fit only for the inhabitants of log cabins and the daily laborer." Tappan'e speech. Go to Europe for your carriage, your gold service, and your S9OOO chandeliers. “A protective tariff at once inexpedient and ruinous.” Harrieon tnyt:' “The prudent use of a credit system is absolutely necessary to carry on the great commercial interests of this country, and for the establishment and secu- ! rity of confidence between man and -man, as well j | as our country with the other nations of the world.” j Hl ymJjurgnnay:__ "" •*A pure metalio circulating medium is the only le- ■ gilimate currency in the world.” Let yonr *tiip rot at your dock*, aiul you*" store-houses sink beneath tl>e weight of accuinlatwd produce, rather than be | saddled wilt: this inflated, irresponsible-credit system, Down with credit! Down.with banks!"— Benton's l speech. Harrieon says: I One Presidential term. The welfare of my conn-

try my aim, It* prosperity my rewars.-r-#twrim* •pitch. i ;■ _. ; L Van Burt n say*; . _ “One Presidential term i* not sufficient to yirt s I man a thorough insight into the political nqqcliinery ]of this great Republic.”— LtUer to Andrew Jack ton. The welfare of my party my aim—tlieir prosperity my reward! . ■ .<? • Harrison soys: “That Congress ha* no right to ioterfery in the prioes of labor. The price ant) demand for wages is an unfailing evidence of our national prosperity; and to reduce them to the level of monarchical governments, is but to establish at once a naked oligarchy, in which property is the sole representation,and to put thy many in entire subjugation to the few.” Uurenism says,* ‘.‘The price of iabor is entirely too high,—The laborer can afford to work fb.r eleven pence a day, aid the hard money system wilt bringdown wages to tiipt sum.”— Senator Tappan. The ‘‘sub-Trea*ury system will put down the banks, and bring wages and every thing else down with it, and woman! woman! into slayery, as she is in every country uoder heaved where wages ate under fifteen pence a day!” 1 Harrison soys: “Economy of public expenditures, to be influenced by necessity rsther than convenience—by utility ralherthan ornament. An endeavor to ape royalty by extravagance is too closely allied to a spirit that ego not long harmonize with pure Democracy.” . | Va^Bure n says: “This appropriation is called for by the plain spiij impoverished appearance f the President’s house, is calculated to leaye impressions upon the aristocratic embassadprs of foreign courts unfavorable to our importance and national dignity.”— Special Menage. A wanton waste of the public treasure, by ftirnishing palaces with embroidered royalty and court yards with eastern voluptuousness—Liverpool servants! Heralddic emblazonry of arms and all the pomp and circumstances of monarchy to be brought upon (bp people by degrees! . r

Harrison toys: „ “Governments never should interfere or meddle with the'religious opinions of the people.”— Letter, “A respect for religion and religious institutions, one of the moral supports, of opr national fabric.” Van Burenism says: “There must be no class of men set apart and authorised, eitlimr by lsswr or fashion, to speak to us in the name of God. The word of God never drops from the priest's lips.—The priest is i tyrant, the enslaver of his brethern, and it is Christianity to condemn him!”— Browmon. To every voter we say, JUDGE YE, which of the two to support EXTRAORDINARY FRAUD.—An am has been brought to light which is connected with one of the most iniquitous frauds ever practised in tsis country in reference to elections. The matter it undergoing judicial enquiry, and we therefore give the report as it is now current. Our readers are aware that the Locofoto vote in the oily and county of Philadelphia was larger, by several thousands, than any one, even the Honest men of that party, believed it would be; no inan, for instance, thought that there waa as many Van Buren voters in this city and county, by several thousands, as there were Van Buren votes received last Tuesday; and attention was consequently clraVn to the naturalization proceedings, to illustrate tfie subject. The following discovery, we learn has been made: In the book of the proper officer of the Court, where? in are registered the names and oaths of tliose erniKiril* who declare their intention to become citizens, vet have, been inserted this year in the record of [he. year 1838, and the names of many persona registered a* declaring their intentions, and the name of the firmer (Ifrk of the office forged thereto; and the Court having been induced to believe that these several entries were really made in 1833, granted the papers of naturalization. This high-hauded fraud, striking at the purity of courts and elections, has been brought to the notice of Judge King, and will be carefully sifted. —U. S. Gaz. “HARD-MONEY” BENTQN.—Last winter, the Ngw York Commercjal stated on the authority of a letter from Washington, that the “great humbug of Missouri, had drawn fur hts mileage on the United States Treasury, in the form of a specie draft, and had then sold the draft for depreciated bank notes, with which be paid his bills. The following jetter from Washington, of recent date confirms this statement. When the high-sounding pretensions of the Missbnri Senator are taken into view, and hit endlets tirades againet“bank rags” and in favor of specie currency, are remembered, it must be admitted that the business transaction described in this letter exhibit him in a position any thing bqt enviable.
