Thata fr. xliya ago, deponent was induced by said

Thereupon Mr. Butler said Mr. Stevenson had
lately made important dieclosures to him, affeetii,e,
the wing party. and if.deponent would come forward
and mhke the necessary proof, great good would fol
low flora it—that deponent would thereby' take a
hi g h stood—that deponent had been. denounced by
the whige as a locofoco, and had nothing to espect
from that ,part 3, —but he bad every thing to expect
from.the other patty ; that deponent would earn il.e
lasting gratitude, of t:.'e country ; for his own part, as
to Money, he would divide his last cent or last crust
with deponent : thereupon, Mr. Hoyt said he would
do the-same. r - 1
And de'poneOvforther.siiiall, that the said Steven

to deponent, that'he'would Coritpil the Geveinor to

me, and with a' pair of loaded -pistols, he Stevenson
would compel them to pledge theruselvesto secure my
reappointment to office by the Governor.
And further,- deponent with that over and over
again overtures of Money and office have been made
to me, to implicate the Governor and the leading mem
bers of the whig paty to the city of New York. And
the sail Stevenson, in conversation with deponent,
after deponett and be had left Mr. Hoyt's house, on
the occasion above referred to, and were walking
down together, said to deponent, that Messrs. Butler,
Hoyt, and Edition& could noeenter into an agree
ment in respect to any particular office at that time,
because it would look like a bargain with me to in
duce me to come forward, and would defeat the ob
ject. Bid, said he, there is Mr. Butler, a man of
as much purity of character. as any titan in. this court:
try, end he can do any thing with Mr. Van Buren
—did you not hear him say he would divide the last
cent or crust with you? Here is Mr. Edmonds, a
confidential friend and correspondent of Mr. Van
Buren; and here is Mr. Hoyt, the collector: they can
do any thing; and deponent believes that Stevenson
made these remarks, because deponent declined to
involve himself, by a compliance with die overtures
made deponent at Mr. Hoyt's house. And deponent
further saith, that he is now satisfied, that he has
been the dupe of conspiracy, which, under the pre-
tence of gaining the means to compel Governor
Seward to continue deponent in office, and thereby
to assist deponent, has from the beginning bad for
its object to induce deponent by promises of rewind
and then by THREATS OF PROSECUTION,
to become the instrument of violent attack upon the
Governor and the vehig party; and deponent further
adds, that in- the progress of this affair, the said Ste
venson has constantly spoken of the limited power
he the said Stevenson, would acquire 'with the ad
ministration party, if he should suceed in this attack
upon the whip. JAS. B. GLENT WORTH.

Now mink, rester—the whole testimony charg
ing fraud against the Whigs is based on the state
ment •of Stevenson, who declares that he derived
the information from Glentwonh. Glentworth
swears positively that Van Buren's office-holders at
tempted to brae him by the offers nt office and
money, to induce him to implicate these men—
which he refused to do. Now, it Glentworth is to
.be believed on oath, Messrs. Butler, Hoyt, Ed- -
mends and dtevenson are guilty of avuoimszins
OP extixtray in attempting to bribe Glentworth to
swear to whit he states was false. If he is not to
' be believed on calk, his bare assertion is not worth
a fig—and it is only on his bate assertion wh!ch
Stevenson 'wears• to, that the whole charge of fraud
against the Whigs is based.
Fellow Citizens, do you not think that this "Last
Card" was played in rather a bungling manner on
the part of Van Buren's office-holdersl Its sudden
explosion has aided the cause of Harrison in Nev,
York and eta .where, to a very considerable extent
and placed some of Van Baron's office-holders.
who have heretofore enjoyed a character to which
they were not entitled, in rather an unenviable
light, before the people.

the threat of moral castigation held out by
Erin, who, of all men, jiidgink from the to
nor of his a ritings, ie the leastlevable of in
&cling it.. The strains in which he loves to
indulge, may, to a mind like his, have a very
- pleasing and moral tendency;l:but methinks
all his effusions are only calculated to im
press on others the conviction that he un
derstands not even the common principles of
either religion or ethics—he , would extend
the hand of forgiveness to Martin Van Bu
ien—‘• be can tolerate his holy horror"—nay
he can early his feelings of brotherly love so
far as to say, he doubts not but he is willing
to hail us as friends in eternity; why is Erin
thus lenient to him? let hint probe the in
most realises of his heart, and he will find
engravers there, because he and I are of the
same party. Now mark. the contrast ; al
luding to me, he would endetivour to brand
and blacken my name with' an imputation
too odious to be conceived, except bye mind
like his, teeming with intolerance and preju
-dree—sit is true he dues not !directly accuse
me of having sworn that the Catholic reli
gion is damnable and idolatrous! No—hit
mind is too guarded and subtle to make so
bold and fearless a charge; hut, like another
lago, he would insinuate and suppose, until
the poison he would instil into public-opinion
by these means, would have the damning
effect of reality; but as thoughts portray the
natural bent of the. mind, I must say that- the
man who • could entertain; such thoughts
(without any foundation) as Ihe has express
ed, possesses a mind, which, ; like some nox
ious reptile, can only exist in a polluted at
mosphere and diet daily trim corruption.
Net this.individual dares to tell the world he
is capable of inflicting morahcastigat ion, and
can drill me into accordance With public taste;
but insidious as his venom may be, I fear not
its effect; his insinuations etie false, and to
use his own words, they are slanders and
lies. lie puffs himself up a ith the conceit
that he possesses exalted ideas of piety and
disinterested charity, (he Would fain make
the world believe so-too)—that he has a per
fect knowledge of the-mighty fabric of Chris
tianity; but how miserably does he fail, how
plainly does he exhibit his ignorance of its
essential principles, when he asks if I had
made this solemn declaration, how is it I have
changed my mind, if guilty. , l -I would reply,
that the privileges guaranteed unto all men,
by that very religion of which he pretends
such knowledge, permits them to turn from
evil to good; he can allow the enjoyment of
these privileges to Martin Viin Buren, but to
me, (oh divine impartiality!) he would deny
them. 'Verily, he has also' turned prophet,
and has, in imitation of the Pythia of old,
' mounted the tripod, and 3sl l IS brain is reel
ing under the in fl uence of the sulphurous

persecution were-to come again, he can dis
cern in Emmett another Titus Oates—for.
getting that, as he has constituted himself
the judge in connexion with his dignity,
might be attached the namn ofJeffries. He
seems to think I hive made a retrograde
movement, and assigns as a reason, that I
have submitted my productions to , the in
spection and correction and the coterie of
critics who had the eingulai nudacity to ex
press 'heir opinion of his effusions—and did
not allow him all the merit, he thinks they
deserve. I must certainly say that it was a
great shame,—fie upon them for not having
more compassion—nevertheless I have also
to brand this -insinuation as false, and if I
have retrograded after the fashion of the
horses in New Jersey, the blame must lie at
my own door. He has endeavoured, by
making an attack upon the Journal, to in

taste for such things, perhaps he may soon
be exalted from being a mere scene shifter,
to the dignity of dancing bear, when, doubt

hesitation, he (in his asual gentlemanly

of the Van -Buren party being the origir(a•

defies me -to the proof. Not wishing to

Prom the Baltimore Patriot
, . The following neat and elegant tribute to the merit"
of Gen. Harrison, is from a young lady of thei htetho4
diet church to her friend in Baltimore, dated
Lanssios, Ohio, Sept. 25, 1840.
I had the pleasure of hearing General Harrison edt
dress the people ; besides several other very distini
guished gentlemen. The General spent the Sobbed}
here, and went to our church Sunday night. After
meeting, be came home with us, and spent the ref
minder of the evening. I was really very glad tO
see him &pill, and I had a very cordial shake of the
hand from him. It appears to me impossible (Or any
one to see and know General Harrison without loving
him, and being in his favor. He is so perfectly simple
and plain in his whole appearance and manner,
yet, unquestionably, a great man. He is the state+
man and politician, and yet the fireside companion.
You see in him none of the formality and reserve
which too often characterize persons in• his circum
stances- And we in Ohio know nothing of immoral!.
ty or profanity in his private or public life, but as fer
as our judgment and knowledge extends, we know
him to be not only a morel but a religious man, anil
a communicant in a church of high religious standini.
And it certainly is a strong argument in his favor.
that where he is best known, he is most beloved arid
appreciated.
