(Mr. Postmaster please forward tris as soon as you can. July 18th, 1840." 25 Stamp. Postmarked Alexandria, Ia. Madison County, Ia. July 179 1840. Dear Father: I received your letter of June the 21 which I now proceed to answer. I was glad to hear that you here all well. I a* as well as common* my friends are all well as cormon. Corn crops are all good and produce of all kinds are ver; plentiful. I would be glad to see you all. I was sorry to hear that you was in favor of the Buckeye Log Cabin Hardcider Federal Candidate for the presidency. You gave some of your reasons for not voting for the present Chief Magistrate of Whe U. S. A. I will also give sons of my rsa30nS for not voting for ft. Henry Harrison. I believe thaihe is a Federalist of the old school of the elder Adams and Hamilton, that he declared upon the floor of Congress that he entertained the most friendly feeling toward Adams' administration and that .-,Y�ie had a strong sympathy for the leading measures. Because he approved in 1817 while Governor of Ia. Territory a law which was as lamentable as the atien and sedition laws of Adam®. See Laws -of Ind. printed at Vincennese 1807 pages 340 & 341, Section 4. I would insert the whole but I Will not have room on this sheet but refer you to the lags of Ind. (Alien and Sedition) Because he gore a -black COCCADE in honor of old Adams - because he voted to sell poor white people into slavery for the payments of fine and cost in 1820-21. Ohio State Journal, page 308-304 and 305 on the principal of master and slave that for offence they should receive 329 lashes - Negro like, and should work the amount out. Fie thought imprisonmentwas not punishment enough for poverty but Jail Slavery and Stripes- this the poor m n•s friend, because he approved such a law as the above in Indiana. When Governor of the Territory General 77. H. 'Harrisonrison approved another lav while governor- it was equally obnoxious as the others, that is that the property qualification that a mars must own 50 acres of land before he should be allowed to vote for a representative- this was done September the 17th, 1807- this is the poor mans friend. I think he is neither smarter nor wiser than he was in 1831. His neighbors could not have thought him very wise then because he was beaten for representative in Hamilton County Ohio. The return Was as follows for D. T. Disney 2336 and Duncan 18251, J. Burgwoyne 17069 D. Hawes 17871, .. H. Harrison 1487. So it went and the others as all elected in 1820 he was a candidate for Governors Official returns as follows- B. A. Brown 249836, S. Morrison 91,428 and the poor mane friend where he was known got 493489 beaten upward of 20,000. I am not a little surprised to hear you all opposed to the abolition of the Im 1graaation Peticoat General. There is no doubt of his being an abolitionist 3m -the risk of conse- juencese C T At Page., 1. I think tInt every candidate should make known publicly hit views to the people but he is under the guardianship of the comdunity of three persons to keep.things concealed, yet your letter calls him an able Statesman. Probably he is honest, but when he resigned his office the last word he said was that the people must do their own fighting. I think he nanaged bad in the late war because he lot the enemy pick the battle ground at Texecanoe and butcher his men while they were in,#eir shirtailes and he had 800 men.... 700 because at the river Thames, he was in the fort with 3000 men whilst, Col. R. i►. Johnson fought and whipped the enemy but care is the sword of safety and this is the soldier's friend. Because he did not send poor Dudley relief when I think it was in.his power. Because he took Col. Croghans sword from him for defending Fort Stephens. Because Gen. Lucas says the council held by the officers said that their commander should be clo hed with mysticism and he is said to be a hero but I think it" a mistake and numerous other objections might to urged but unnecessary for I think this is objections enough. As'ou gave very few reasons for supporting Gen. Harrison, I shall g.& you but very few for voting for Mr. Van Buren. The first is because I think that he is a Republican of the right kind; because he airs his acts before the public; because he does not have a guardian to attend to him; because he is in favor of the treasury bill; beet- use he is opposed to the U. S. -lank; because he has taken measures enough and by the treasury bill to put a stopto deflation in public atff$.iaa ofKces which the Government has been subject to since independence was first adopted; because he is the poor mans friend; because he was nominated by Gen. Jackson. I have the Treasury Bill now before me. I have a greet amount of all ex- penditures of every kind from the -treasury for sixteen yea& s back and find I start in 1829 (figures omitted by copyist) If I had room I would write you more on mhe subject. I have the chance of public papers from U. H. Brunt and I have had access to the Whig papers also. I r&ish you had an armful of these Democrat papers to read. I sincerel;; wish -..ou all had the Acts of Ohio and Ind. to examine so you could see and know how General ikrrison has voted and approved laws. So no more, but remain our loving amd affection- ate son until death. (Sd) Samuel Ferebee P. S. Capt.
