LIFE OF HARRISON
We venture to say that no candid man can read Cushing's admirable life of Harrison without a conviction that the old Farmer of the North Bend is worthy of the highest regard of his countrymen. Whigs—it is your duty to circulate it far and wide. The locofoco papers are crammed with the most outrageous lies against the successful defender of the land: supply the antidote, which is to be found in the life of Harrison and in the columns of "The Harrisonian." We rely upon you. The low price of this paper will not allow the publishers to spend time and money in obtaining subscribers.
