hui an act of justice to that gentleman, as well an
to tliosii wlm supported him, to show dint there

letter, written (as die date will show ) too late to
have any influence on tho Presidential election,

will conclusively do this. We copy it from tho

My Dear Sir—This is the fii*.t day of leisure
dial I have had since I had the honor to receive
your letter ol the *!0ili September, and I avail my
self ol it, to answer the threw questions you pro
posal to me, and which are in the following
W old-, \ 17. :
1. 44 Can the f 'oiigrcss ol the C. S. consistently
w ith the Constitution, abolish slavery either in tho
States oi in the I>Mi ict of Columbia ?
'J. D » not good laitli and tiin peace and harmo
ny n! the Cuioii, reqniie that the act for the coin
promise of tho Teiiir, commonly know n as Air.
Cl,i\\s loll, should In* carried out according to its
spit it and intention f
»T Is the principle proclaimed by tho domi
nant party, that 41 the spuds belong to the vic
tors” con isicnt with an honest and patriotic ad
! ministration of the office of Piesidunt of the United
States.”
1 proceed to nintler these (jneslioiis in tlio or
dei in which they air proposed.
I. I do not think that ('on^resji cull abolish or in
1 anv nianner inteit'ero wilh slavery as it exists in
the Slates, hut on the application ol the Slates,
nor abolish slaver) in ilia District of ('ohimhia,
without tin* consent ol the States of ViruiniN and
M ;u \ I,uni, iiml lli«* people ol tlm District. The
first m muI I lie, in my opinion, it palpable viola
iinn of llii' <'•institution, and die latter a breach of
IhiiIi toward* tlm States I have mi'iilioned, who
would certainly never have made the cession, if
they had supposed dial it would ever lie used for a
purpose so different from that which was its ob
|crt, and in injurious to them ns thu location of a
li ee colored population, in thu midst ol a slave po
pulation ol the same description. Nor do I be
lieve that Coneress could deprive die people of
the District of Columbia of their properly, with
out their consent. It would be reviving the doc
trine of tlie Tories of Great Britain, in relation to
the power ol Parliament,over the Colonies, before
die Revolutionary w ar, and in direct hostility to the
principle advanced by Lord Chatham, that “ what
was a man’s own was absolutely and exclusively
his own, and could not he taken from him without his
consent, given by liimsell, or Ins legal represen
tatives.”
5>. Good faith and the peace and harmony of the
Cnion, do in na opinion, require that the com
promise of die Tariff, known as Mr. Clay’s bill,
should be carried out according to its spirit anil
intention.
,;l. I am decidedly of opinion, that the power of
appointment to office, vested in the executive of
the U. S. by the Constitution, should he used with
a single rye to thu public advantage, and not le
promote the interests of a parly. Indeed that tfaw
President of the United States should belong to
no parly.
You are at liberty to usu this letter for any pur
pose you may think proper.
I am, mv dear sir, with great regard and cun—
i i sideration, vour humble servant,
,i \V. H. HARRISON.
