FARMER OF CARROLL COUNTY.
MeSSrS SurtoRS looking over
your paper of the 2SIh ult., observed
an article from which it appears that
the Democrat asserted, on the author
ity of an unknown soldier, that Gen.
Harrison was C0Ward, and finding
my name, among many others, refer
red 10 as soldiers who served under
him in the late war, from whom testi
mony might be had in relation to that
matter, | here honestly aud candidiy
assert, that | never saw any thing in
the conduct of Gen. Harrison, that
would warrant the least suspicion Of
the kind. But on the contrary, ! am
honestly Of the opinion, that his ser,
vice merit the applause and approba
tion of every true American. | was
with him at Seneca and on Putin Bay
Island, from which he landed in Can
ada, near Maiden, and where we all
expected TO meet the enemy. Gen.
Harrison was our commander, and in
my opinion his officers and soldiers
placed The utmost confidence in him
From thence went by Maiden 10
Sandwich, thro' Canada, on which
route think we camped Two nights,
aud each night expected an attack.
Gen. Harrison was very particular in
having his sentinels we'll posted, and
for the greater part kept his men uu.
der arms, aud at no time were they
permitted to lay down without them.
From Sandwich we went 10 Detroit,
where we met other forces. Here
Gen, Harrison issued orders to pursue
the enemy, which was Immediately
done with the General at our head.
And i would here just ask the author
of the tale published in the Democrat,
how It was that Gen. .HarriSon-belng
a cowaFd-Would venture TO Gro wd an
enemy, equal, If not superior 10 force,
in their own country, where they had
it 10 their power to take so much ad-
vantage, in the choice Of ground, &c.
Gen. Harrison, at the head Of the A
merican Army, marched in pursuit OI
The enemy with such speed, that he
kept his men on less than half ralions,
IN consequence Of the provisions being
on board Of a bosr, to he conveyed up
the River Thames, Oh the banks Of
which river we were marching; and
The boat then only overlook us the
first night. Wei, i cen see nothing
cowardly 10 all this
i was with his army when thewor
came that The enemy at little dis.
lance ahead, had formed their line of
battle. i heard Gon. Harrison dellv
er short address to that part of his
army, where was stationed, which
was the right, and was afterwards told
that he passed from the right to the
left, where he also delivered a short
address. i saw him frequently while
marching from that place, until we
came within gun shot of the enemy,
and he waS ahOayS in front. No
one dared TO say while with the army,
that Gen, Harrison was a coward.
And ! am much deceived If you can
find one man who served under him
who pays any regard TO tru,h-thal
will iaSinuate any thing like it.

TRIAL OF SANTA ANNA.

The New Orleans Bee ofJuly 29th,
publishes the translation of docu-
ment under this title, which has lateI Iy
been circulated in Mexico. 1t is not
a trial of Santa AOna, but this caption
is chosen as a suitable one under
which 10 show the deplorable condi.
tion of affairs in Mexico, brought
about by the usurpstions and violence
'oflhat incarcerated tyrant. Among
Other matters, the writer says that the
officers Of The army are frequently de
tected in theft. and more dreaded than
the highway robbers, The officers Of
the custom are all creatures Of Santa
Anna. One Of these members ex-
claimed from the gallery ofthe house,
in a tone Of unbushing degradation
that might secure him seat among
q certain set Of psIaticiaGs IN our
Congress, that he voted in obedience
to the man,ih the green>cloak, slIuding
TO painting representing the Presl'
dent of the Republic. Another, rich
proprietor, terminated one of his
speechpsin these words: -"Such is the
wish of Santa AOna-it is him only
hat we are bound to please; it is to
him we owe our seats, and it is him
that can kick US out when he pleases."
The extyrant is compared TO Tibe-
rius. The citizens have been thrown
into jails-pul in chains or Cudgelled
in the streets by the military; houses
are searched and pIundered- The sol
diery and priesthood unmoIested--the
citizens are slaves and pay the heavy
