Jmy and our interest in inquire; Tor if hia poverty is the result of misfortunes and untoward circumstances, over which he contd have had no control, then it is a virtue, rather than a fault, am! cUiins fonuniseration. But if it ts the result of imprudence, extravagance, or of ill-direct-cd Judgment, the fault is his own; and such faults and frailties clearly render him unlit to be the Executive ruler of a great and powerful nation. What have been his misfortunes and what his opportunities! I profess to be somewhat acquainted with the history 'of General Harrison's political, military,-and private life. I am his neighbor, and live in his county. As to his private life, I know of no slain that for a moment Etillips'him. 1 believe he is strictly honest; 1 believe he is liberal, but not so to a fault. 1 have, never heard of any pecuniary' misfortune* the lot of that man; and I think his history {and, by the by, let me here say, that I have very little- confidence in the history of a ma’n written and published in his life time; such a history is very apt to be colored and bedizened with adulation and Hitter)’) represents him as the descendant ,of “noi/e blood;" of highly respectable and wealthy jiarentage. Wealthy parentage! Then he received at- Ins outset a patrimony. What has become of that! Why, if it was not borne away upon the wings of misfortune,'perhaps it was a sacrifice to the inexperience of youth. Be it so. * That is hoi to be charged to hint as a fault now; nor docs it make him the less capable ofdietharging important official duties, for which he may have qualifications. But his history (verbal if not written) represents him as haying received a large fortune in lands ofthe must valuable quality, and the most eligible location,1by his marriage. What has become of that fortune!. For its Sight it will not be easy to find an apology; for on its reception, be. was.lt> the vigor arid wisdom of manhood; with his mind at its strength* and with a judgement at.its full-size. But if the log cabin and-the poverty, story is true," that estate ja in some way disposed of. But tliat,.is not all. General Harrison has held profitable Offices from his boyhood. * U tilt but little intermission *6'this day, his hand hat been in the public Treasury. Yes, sir, utmost without interregnum, through a life as long as the Divine promise—for 1 believe he ts now on the verge of the horizon of three score and ten—and at this moment holds au office worlh.l think, cleat and clean of all expenses,, fife thousand dollars, per annum.—I. think I may venture to say General Harrison has received from the public Treasury more than 'one hundred thousand dollars.—He has >drawn more from the public Treasury than a stX'horsa team can haul, in hard dollars,..over the Alleghany mountains, on the national ronl> and yet his political partisans claim for hiiu the Presidency because he is poor and needy.

addressed, to him by the Union Association of this village. We are obliged to a member of the Association for a copy of the letter addressed by it to Gen. Harrison, a copy of the letter of the committee, io reply thereto. We assure the public the correspondence is genuine. "Oswego, January 31, 1840. "To the Hoa, William II. Harrison: . t*Bear'Sir:Tn accordance with a resolution of the Union Associalon of Oswego, I am instmeted to propose three questions to yeu in relation tion to subjects that a large portion of this section of the country feel a deep interest in.— The first is— ,

swer of the committee will norfail lo m.'ke the impression, either the' General Harmon re* quires political conscience keeper*—because with him the Federal principles of there time* would not be safe; or that be and his party hare no principles—or that their principles are so ob* noxious to public sentiment, that it is dangerous to disclose the i>. I think the latter proposition is the fact. 1 have. looked in rain for a demon* stratum of modern whig principles from their conventions, I can see none. There have been none; nor- will there be any. The object of a committee is to pot their principles under a.bushel. Such vis the secret mandate, of the Slate Convention wire* worker?—such . is the secret mandate of the wirp*workcrs of the National lUrrisburgh Convention; and the lips of all sab* ordinate committees are sealed*. The above committee informs us, in so many words, that it »s not the'policy of General Harrison or his friends to make any exposition of political faith or principle until after the election. Like the subjects of benighted ignorance of the world, it is enough that the priests know the will of. God and the mysteries of his holy word. What a miserable cause it is that shuns .the light; and ■ how unpardoaably ignorant the poleical leaders.. ofa.panymust.be of. the intelligence of the nineteenth century—of the intelligence of the people—who think they can lead the.lrccmcn of this Government, blindfolded, to the subversion of principle*, and the overthrow of their cher* ished institutions. And ‘ how basely corrupt . must be the party who sneak and skulk from an open, candid, and manly exposition of their political principles.'' Sir,' fsay unhesitatingly that this cocrcspoodinggcomroittee bas been appoia* ted for the purpose of concealment and delusion. I unhestatingly assert that this concealment of principle arises from the fact that the Federalists dare not publicly disclose their principles to the American people. .Concealment of principle, and false glare of- military tinsel are to be the means by which the people are to be gulled in<* to the support of Federal.(pen for office, and the establishment ; of -Federal measures, But, sir,. - the elTou will' be about as' Trail lets as the coffin - hand bill inode of electioneering. . . - In relation totho’conidience-keeplng’ committee, I /must say something; Of David GWynne, I know nothing; peraonallyj I am un-‘ ■ acquainted with him.

But it is said that “General Harrison is a poor nun, and lives in a log cabin, and that he toils in sweat, and dust, for his daily maintenance.*’ These' allegations arc either,false or they arc, title. If they are false; then it is an attempt to practice a base fraud upon the American people fium motives of demagogueiinn; but*! will presume, for thepresent, that they are true, 'And let me assure you that if General; Harrison is of the right political faith, and is welt qualified to discharge the complicated, responsible, and arduous duties which the Constitution, the- in-ti-rests of this country, and the policy of this Government impose on .the President of the linked States, (he fact of his being the tenant of a log cabin shall heighten my zeal and double iuy exertions to secure his election.

In >he times of which I am speaking, tog cabins' were what the term neam—s bouse made of round logs,' one story bUb, of dimensions suited to the sizejor number of the family who were to inhabit 5l, anil- eometimee with reference to an mcreare, a puncheon floor, a lin bark loft, and a clap-board roof. The industry of the matron and her daughters was displayed by the thick folds of linsey frocks, pantaloons, and hunting shirts, which bchung its walls. Its loft was omlerliung with strings of dried pomkine, and its capacity healed and lighted with a large wood (ire from its copious chimney. So much for the description. Now for t he frhljc. The frolic consisted in dancing, playing, and singing love and murder songs, eating johnny cake and pumpkin pies, and drinking now whiskey and brown sugar out of a gourd.

“Gentlemen: Your letter of the'Alai ult. addreFfced to General Harrieon, has' bfcn placed in our possession with a view tu early attention. Tht> is unavoidable In consequence of tbs' very numerous letters daily received by the General, and to which fata reply in person is rendered ab? eolutely impracticable. As front hie confidential cominittee, you look upon this response, and .if the policy observed by the /committee should not meet your approbation, you will attribute the error rather to ourselves and his immediate advisers, than General Harrison. Tbat r poIicj is that the General make no farther declaration of his principles tbr tlie public eye* whilst been; pyingjtispresent position. ' Such course been adopted, not for 'the'purpoecr of concealment, nor lb avoid all proper reeponsibitily; but under the Impression that the General's views, in regard to all the important and exeilita'g’questions of-the day, have heretofore beeagiven to the public, fully and explicitly; and that those views, whether connected with;’constltuiiopal or other questions of very great undergone -no change, The. commiUea ate strengthened in regard to the propnetyvof, this policy;* that no new issue be; made to* lhe v pttblic frorathe'coDsidcrstioiiihatibo National convention deemed* It-, impolitic at the .then .crisis to publiBhanygune raffle clariuon of the views of the great Opposition party, and the policy of the present remains Unalteted,- In' the'mean' time, we can not help expressing the hope that our friends every w.herp will receive the nomination of Genera!

Sir, it is genuine; aud what are the impressions this correspondence must make on the mind of every man who may read ■ literal ‘ They are two fold.— First, they convey the idea most forcibly', that owing to physical and mental imbecility, the party have been compcllsdio assign political keepers to General Harrison, and the necessity of this measure, with- those unacquainted with General Harrison, will be forced upon tbemiud, when it is known that .he is now in .or near the seventieth year of bis age; a. period in life when the heart beats slow, the blood flows slug* gbhty t .ihe limbs beeomt.palsied, the watery eye grows diin,’lheVoif« trotnb!et,ihB muscles wither,‘the “pantalpoti becomes slippery,** the memory tikes wing, lbs empire of judgment, totters, and the'mind sinks in human frailty,' The appoiritmeiit of the committee roust giro rise to. a supposed necessity, Xnd tbst necessity will find its reason in thi natural 'frailties of three score and ten. It is not fof me to rescue and relieve General Harrison from the difficulties and imputation with whiph his friends embarrass him. It is for Ms friends to explain away these imputations. But second: the an-

, Why, air, to fir from General llarriaon being unfortunate he lias been one of form ne’e choicest and moat cherished children. Now, sir, permit me to ask, it General Harrison's poverty gives liim aclaim upon (he American people either for political patronage, or even more than common sympathy, certainly not, unless it can be ihown c'eariy that he has been reduced to poverty by mietontme? and calamities beyond his control. While it is a settled principle, honorable to the American character, that the virtuous and'qualiHtrd poor man is preferred to the virtuous and qualified rich man lorotficc, let uainquire tvhelh-. er, when poverty is the result of extravagance, profligacy, indolence, a weak mind, a bad-direct-ed judgment or mismanagement, it does not constitute a disqualification to hold a responsible station of an official character. Permit me to ask, if tlie, man who has not had the capacity (o securd b competency lor the evening of Ida life out at such vast resources, can safely be trusted with the administration of this Government! 1 ask the question in the spirit of candor and truth, and it becomes every American to ask the same question, Is the man who has not the ability to control and manage his own small and circumscribed domestic concerns, the suitable man in whose hands to place the destinies of this nation —the management ot tins Wide-spread and complicated Federal Union, whose harmony and whose duration —whose prosperity at home, and whose character abroad, depends upon its judicious Haws, their best direction, and able and faithful execution! A patriotic and intelligent people will answer ibis question. Hut, sir, I will now come to the rescue of General Harrison, and relieve him from the incapacity winch bis own friends have formally and indirectly charged upon him. Genera) Harrison is not a poor man; he does not live in a log cabin, nor docs he toil in sweat and dust fur his living. He is a rich man; he lives in a magnificent frame house, and is surrounded-with a princely estate, of as good land as ever the Nile inundated, and as handsomely and advantageously located as any* past which the majestic flood* of-the Ohio or Mississippi roll, from their sources to the Gulf of Mexico. So, sir, all. ibis story about the log cabin is a falsehood. t It is a mean fraud,‘attempted to bq practised upon the credulity and sympathies of jbe Aoterican people, for the base, .demagogical purpose* of political deception. Gen. Harr if on is neither be cherished nor repudiated by the log cabin fiction: the whole is a hoax,' attempted to be played off for political effect, and worthy, of a party who have a contempt for thq understanding and (n *' telligence of the “common people'* Such attempts never {ait to meet the scorn and derision of an honest and,intelligent community, when and wherever made. ‘

All the flattering caresses that the laborer or the pour man will receive from such a party, will result from the same motive that induced the fox to'praise the mueic of the crow, which was to obtain the flesh whiob she would let drop in the act of singing. 1 assert that the supporters of General Harrison are not the friends of the poor and laboring classes of the community, and those who live io log cabins. On the contrary,"they are those who seek the establishment and confirmation of a system of policy whose natural tendency is to make the "rich ricAcr, arid Me poor poorer.” From such a guardianship sire the democracy, is my prayer. * Under the guardianship of such men, log cabins and hard cider would be the lot of the poor man through all time.

All the older pioneers of the West and their descendants, who'have obterved that kind of prudence, industry, and economy; which constitute the character of the good citizen, and entitle him to the confidence of honest men, have possessed themselves of comfortable and commodious brick and frame houses, large barns, and well improved farms, checkered with grrin fields of every color, and mantled with horses, cattle, sheep and hogs, and with hard cash for a rainy day, and some to lend a friend in need. . ...
