'"' ’* '''' l From the Richmond Enquirer. .Gen’l Harrison visited the.

The orator took strong grounds against 'Abolitionism. He asked with great energy, “How could a Virginian, born and bred on the lower James River, and in a house no ted for some memorable incidents in our re volutionary struggles, bo *an" Abolitionist? How could li Virginian whose sires received many distinguished tokens ol confidence and csteemat ty>c hands of this virtuous"'old Commonwealth, be ah Abolitionist? How could a Virginian be so irreverent to the sa-, cred ashes of honored ancestors, ns to be no Abolitionist? Could such'a Virginian be called an Abolitionist by another Virginian, and that other, a.true-hearted Virg : nian,and sound to the cure? 'JPhc thing was impossi ble. - The bosom could not be free from taint that harbored such a suspicion.” And yet it is true, that General Harrison -once pro posed to devote all .the surplus .revenue of the United Statcs .tothe purchase and eman cipation (if the slaves, with the consent" of the slavcholding States. It is also true, that he even pronounced it a slander to say, that he.was a friend to slavery; It is also true, that during the last year, whilst,he was a candidate fur the highest (dike in (he gift of the. people, he refused to remove the doubts whichjvwere entertained, and so to answer various letters,which;were respectfully ad dressed to him fur that purpose, lie did dehiare liimsclf opposed to the petitions for the emancipation of slaves in the States,but avoided’ahy declaration about petitions in the District of Columbia. He declined pos itively to give any pledge, that if elected the Chief Magistrate of .the United States, he would veto any bill upon the subject,. It was evident also, that General'Harrison would receive the votes of.thc great mass o/ the Abolitionists—and that, without their suffrages he could scarcely obtain the sup port of New York and Ohio.. ■ With all due respect, therefore, to the Presidentelect,- vve ciin very well conceiveilmlsomebosoms which -were-.-"altogether, free from tain?’ themselves,,.might, entertain:..

' FROM FLORIDA. .. By the steam, packet Isis.i Capt. ,Pi teller, we have received from pur intelligent cor respondent (he following confirmation of fa vorable reports, heretofore published.

A party of Tallahassees headed by (heir chiefs, and accompanied by one of the . Ar kansas delegation, halted at -Fort Clinch a short time since, on (heir way to Tampa.— Whilst there, Tigcrtail (whose übiquity is unquestionable) sent his brother to visit them, and if possible, prevent them from go ing in. The Arkansas Indian made known the object Tigerlail was endeavoring to ef fect through the agency of Iris brother, which so enraged the latter,.that, he .(sprang upon him with his knife and inflicted two severe stabs. ' Tlie Pease' Creek Indians have sent word to one of the head men of the delega tion, that they will lake his life if he pre sumes to venture among them. If the del egation efl’ect no hing more than the crea tion of a peace party among (heir brethren, they will have accomplished much.- Pre sumptive evidence that their statements have beenmf service in the recent negotiations, is .to be found in the apparent want of .unanim ity nihong the Indians, as evidenced by their late, councils. Many are of the'opinion-that live General will .emigrates large party, but I for one do not believe that any treaty stipulations will be found binding on the part of tins Indians. Purity of purpose and a rigid adherence to plighted faith form no part'of the Seminole -character. Ilarncyize Mr. Tigertail and a lew olhersVof a similar character,’ take Hie field, keep it, and the next half century'may witness the termination of the Florida war. DEATH OF JUDGE BARBOUR.
