GEN. HARRISON AN OLD REPUBLICAN.
In the year 1800, the old Republican and Federal parties existed in full force, and party feeling ran high, the war with England approaching, and the restrictive policy of Mr. Jefferson giving rise to much heat. The contest in Maryland was close, but the Republicans in the fall of that year, carried the State. Upon this, Gen. Harrison says to Dr. Brownley—
"I rejoice sincerely in the triumph of the Republicans of Maryland." I have written to my friend General Smith, (Gen. Samuel Smith) to congratulate him on his appointment to the Senate, without having any other evidence of it than the success of the Republican ticket."
