    21 As to peen spoor white man from)
Voting who had only paid a state lax, and
no o!her tax.
In page 9.02, of the Proceedings of the
Convention, Lien Root introduced a sec
tion which among other things, provided
that if a man who paid a tax, "en the high
icays," and no other tax, ;should have a
right to vote, Mr. Talmadge moved to
strike out these words— , or on the high
ways," so that Gen Root's motion should
not prevail. "Mr. Van Buren supported
motion for striking out," and said:
'the people were not prepared for UN 1•
VERNAL SUFFRAGE.
..Gen Root replied, that if that clause
was stricken nut, it would DISFRAN
CHISE a NUMEROUS class of persons,
*who ouenT TO VOTE. " [See page 275 H
nil the volume of Proceedings.] In page!
VB2, the question • was taken on striking'
out the words, "or on the 'ugh trays," and
we find Mr. Van liuren's name recorded
in favor of striking out, which went to
prevent a poor white man from votiyg it
bid paid no other tax than a road tax.
Here you have the book and page, where
the above facts can be found; and if any
man dues not find this stateniet correct of
ter a fair examination, I will give him
FIVE HUNDRED DOLDARS for his
trouble for making the search, I have
the book before Me, and I know what I
say to be true.
3. As to preventing a poor man from
toting who worked on the highways, and
was not a HOUSEHOLDER.
In page 1.81, in Holland's lire of Van
Buren, we find the fact DISTINCTLY
ADMITTED, that Mr Van Buren wish.
ed to add to the highway qualification,
FURTHER RJ I RICTIONS"
that the voter should also he a HOUSE
-110I,DREI." Any man may see the hook
by applying at the Mice or the People's
Press.
But further—ln pages 18'2, 183, 184, 1
and 185 ot Holland% Book, we find a long
& warm speech of Van Buren m favor of
this HOUSEHOLD QUALIFCATION,
and his speech is iltking from pages 365
And 366 of the proceedings in the N. Y.
Convention. I defy contradiction.
Farmers and Mechanics You now
have these important facts before you,
and you can judge tor yourselves, wheth•
era man who is so much opposed to UNI- .
VERSAL SUFFRAGE—so much uppo
sed to the WORTS OF POOR;
and 80 favorable to NEGRO SUFFRAGE
—shall receive . your votes for the highest
office in your wit.
If any persons, in other counties, shall
doubt the full truth of the forgoing state.
ments, and will send a committee to me
to examine into the above authorities, I
will agree to bear all expenses whatever,
and pay the committee liberally for their
trouble, in case .1 fail to PROVE ENTRY
WORD of what I have asserted. The
Books can be seen at any time.
This certainly will insure our neighbor
good pay and all his expenses borne, if.
what we said was not true. The Book'
and the page is here referred to, and any
man who can obtain the Books can see
who tells the truth.
Go at it my dear fellow, and you can ,
show The people the result.
As neither of us have a copy of the de
bates in the New Y. Convention. We
will make this proposition to the Editor
of the .4 Advocate."
We will go into a written article with
you to furnish a copy of those debates.
If we prove by it that Van Buren did
make a speech IN FAVOR, of a house l
hold qualification, you shall pay the cost
of the Book and the expense of getting it;
and the Book shall be ours. If we do not
prove it we will do the same, and the Cook
shall be yours. This is as much as we
are able to stand. But don't say any
snore about the $l.OO. Neither ot us have
as many cents hardly, or if we have, we
can find other places to use it, much more
to our credit. But come up to the point
,ahout.the Book.
Tho next proposition that is made is,
that we shall publish certain extracts from
Amos Kendall's Globe, in consideration
for which that paper will publish Harri
son's letter. Now we shall do in this
matter what ever man shall say is just.
But as for the Globe, we will take no tes
timony of the kind.
You and your partisans allege that Van
tiaren will answer any questions that are
put to him. If you speak the truth, you
can furnish
.the same kind of testimony
tur us that we give to you. That is, the
letter of the man over his own signature.
We then propose this. You shall write
to Van Buren and ask these two questions
—and we will publish his answer, when
you:publish Harrison's letter. (We want
his own hand and seal; we give you Harri
son's. )
Ist. Did you when a member of the N.
York Convention, say th 4 "the people
Isere not prepared for universal sujli•age;
Auld move the " further retariction
that the voter SHOULD ALSO DE A HOUSE
*OLDER, etc."
2nd. Did you advocate or vote fur the
striking out of the word "iphiic," in qual
ifications for voters; and if so, would not
that striking out give solo uegroes the
right to vote, in prefrerenee to some white
men 7
Now neighbor, as your man is such a
candid man, and answers all questions
propounded to him by his fellow-citizens;
do you get his direct answer Aye, or No,
to these questions, with what ever explain
ation he may see fit to add, and we will
publish that. We wish to have his word'
to stand against Harrison's, or in plain
words, we will print his letter denying
what wo charge. if you will pilot Harri- 1
son's denying what you charge.
We are willing to give the truth on any
subject when fairly obtained; and we say •
come up to the chalk. But no more
about that $lOO. It you have got that
much money we have nut; and it is ungen
erous to insult our poverty. If you have
nut got it ! hold your tongue. Our propo
sition will arrive at the With just as direct
ly, at touch less expense andrisk. Dare
you dolt?
'We shall see."
Between them.
Col. R. M. Johnson says, Harrison
ought mure.battles than any other Gen
eral, and never lost a victory. We heard
a young lawyer trying to make, it appesr,
the other eveniag, that liarrison was any
thing but a successful officer. There is a
falsehood between them.
W c have received the correspondence
between J. M . Bell, Esq. and some of our
citizens. As it is somewhat lengthy, we
have been obliged to exclude it until next
week.
Log Cabins.
Is it not a little astonishing that the
Loco Foco party should so much dislike,
what they call "the humbug of Log Cab•
ins." They pronounce it actually dis
graceful that freemen should talk of Har
rison and a log cabin.
Have the people forgotten the days of
their hickory pole raising? Not a village
or hamlet in the Union but what was gra
ced, or -disgraced, with a huge hickory
pole, with a broom, (representing the bo
som of destruction) nailed to the top ;.and
inure latterly, an empty porter bottle has
assumed the place of the broom.
They have forgotten these things. They
were the humbug of their party we sup
pose. Yet they are unwilling to let their
opponents indulge in the kind of fully,
that word suits their case.)
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Thu Convention in the Old Granite
State was held at Concord on the 17th
instant. We copy from the Boston At
las's correspondence, the subjoined order
of the meeting:
CONCORD, N. H., June 17, 1840,
I have just time to say to you (if, indeed
at this time of great popular gatherings,
'you think such a fact worth recording)
that twelve thousand freemen of New
Eilampsiiire have this day encamped on
,the heights of Concord, like Harrison un
der the batteries of the British Tories in
the fields of his youthful renown, to re.
spond to the Harrisburg nominations. It.
has been a great—a glorious assemblage.
From the silver Amanoosuc, far in the
upper Coos, to the line of the old Bay
State—from Maine to the waters of the
Connecticut, the people have come with
their lug cabins and canoes, their ships .
"well rigged and well manned," their
baggage wagons, banners and music, to
send up their notes of rejoicing with the
great popular acclaim, which is wafted to
us trout every section of the Union. The
procession,numbering nut far from 12,000,
was about three miles in length. It mar•
ched through the principle streets of the
village amidst the huzzas of the citizens,
and the waving of handkerchiefs from the
ladies at the windows. It was a spirit
stirrirq spectacle, and its influence will
be felt in every town of the State at the
November election.
The lion. Enos Stevens was nominated
fur election as Governor by acclamation.
Twenty-seven thousand votes will elect
the ticket. Shall we throw them? We
will "try, sir."
The Convention was dissolved, after
giving three times three fur old 'lip.
The Locos have looked like despair per
soudied during the whole of the day, at
the thousands swelling the processsion,
and as it passed up Main street, a ban- :
tier, furnished, it is understood, by Mr.'
Isaac Hill and Cyrus Batton for the oc;
casion, representing Harrison astrithr of a
barrel of cider, in petticoats, &c., was
Hung to the breeze front over the Patriot
office, and afterwards borne in a cart
through the streets at the head of a pro•
cession of loafers, Locoloco members of
the Legislature, 4-c., but nu attempt at
disturbance was manifested. I make no
continents on this conduct of the infamous
gang of serfs here iu Concord. Let them
have all the advantage which they can
gain by it. I would nut pluck a leaf from
their petticoat laurel.
One of the delegates to the Loco Foco
Convention, held the day previous, was
so disgusted at the conduct of the Tory
leaders, that he mounted a Harrison badge
joined the Ilarrison procession. and went
home a strong Harrison man.
One of the most amusing incidents ol
the day was that of a pedlar breaking up
a Loco Foco caucus at Gore's. John J.,
Hale, sometimes known as "pig or puppy",
Hale, U, S. Attorney for the N. H. Dis-.
trict, was holding forth, when the pedlar
drew up on the opposite side of the street,
cocked his hat, and sung the popular
song "When this old hat was new." Be.
'
fore he got half t h rew with his song, the
Loco Foco's deserted their speaker, one
by one, and !hull felt Hale holding forth
"alone in his glery." They preferred
the pedlar's song, and the words have so
lung in their ears ever since, that it is
said half of them went to the stores and
ordered a new Harrison hat on the spot.
An Apprentice Wanted.
Au apprentice is wanted at this *ace'
one of good, steady, and industrious hab,
its, and that can come well recommended;
none other need apply. One from the
country would be prefered.

hays' Liniment.
Those only who know by trial or immedi
ate.observauon, can form any idea of the ef
fects, of the perfect relief, of the almost
charm-like cures •ffected in cases of the files
Rheumatism, all Swellings, and all external
pains, no matter how severe. by the use (1
ays' Liniment. Find one who has used it
that will not laud it above all things ever
used, and you will find—what cannot be
found.
For the relief of suffering human beings
who may be afflicted, I beg you to ask—ask
of those who know—ask the Hon. Alfred
C onklin , U, S. Judge forthat district, residing
near Auburn; ask Mathew J• Myers, Esq.,
;Athens, N. Y.; ask Gen. Duff Green, late nt
Washington city, each of these gentlemen
know of cases unconquerable by all other re
medies or physicians, though tried for many
years, that have been cured by the use of thel
genuine Hays' Liniment. Thousands of
other persons know similar cures. We ap-;
peal to their sense of justice—their human '
feelings.
It is but a duty you owe to your suffering ;
fellow-beings to let this great remedy be;
known. Speak of it then to all your friends. ' ,
This will save much pain where the newspa-;
pers are not read, or where readers are in-'
credulous, because so many worthless arti
cles are advertised for the same purpose. •
1 o buyers we say, if all who have used it do
not say it is beyond all praise. then do not ,
take it. The proprietor will not allow this
article to be paid for nnless it cures, when
all the directions are fully followed. Will,
any one suffering refuse to try it? If he'
does, he ought to be pitied more for his ob
stinacy than his suffering.
Mr. Hays would never consent to offer tins
article, were he not compelled by his sense
of morel—of religious' uty—to do all in his
power for the victims of distress and misery.
For this purpose he would sooner devote a
tortune, than secure a dollar for any worth
less article.
L@OK O U T.—Some swindlers have
counterfeited this article, and put it up with
various devices. Do not be imposed upon.
One thing only will protect you—it is the
name of CmusToot & ('O.; that name must
be al says on the wrapper, or you are cheat
ed. Do not forget it. Take this direction
with you, and test by that, or never buy; for
it is impossible for any other to be true or
genuine.
