the truth, that | give it without further comment:
"kESrucKr-Thi Stale is claimed by the friends OF
Harrison as certain 10 cast It's vote in his favor, because,
as thcy say, he has led them of III battles in which they
nave gathered glory for themselves and heir pOsterlty,
and That they will never desert their cid General. How
stands the true issue: Has he any just claims 10 the
support Of kcntuck!ans: He has, II nan.only s,rewing
the battlc-lields with their hes! blood gives him any. In
stead @! leading them in va!orous achievements, have
they not bceI, like 50 many beeves, slaughtered TO ap
! peGsc the names Of l!arrisun's cninity towards every OF.
hccr against whom the least dislike lurked in his bosom,
or who seemed destined to eel Pse him: Yes, the valor
OF Kentucky has always been the victim Of tie ebulhtinn
ii malice and envy, which was continually forcingitseIf
from their commander. We cannot think that kentuck-
ians, when they look back at the va!or and talents which
have been forever lost TO them, and which, ifa '~mut0ry
c%htttGih' bad been their leader, would now be adornlug
the legislative halls of our country, an ornament 10 ,hem.
selves and their native Stale, can 70 for The Hero. In
every battle in which he engaged the keniuckans, they
persisted N h~ecatom5s, and gained no glory. At Tippeca.
nos, tie gifted Dawes and Colonel Owen, and The brave
uI: & under them. were sacrificed, because the General
lacksd sense to select his own camping ground, and took
the aa4Eice Ct the indians. At river Kasin, Coloneis
Allen, Simpson, Hart, Hickman. and their gallant com.
pan"ns, were mnsSacred, because Harrison treachcrously
lniicd TO scirtr the expected achievements which you'd
have saved The army. But the success OF Gen. VIM
chester would have been Il total discontinue Of Harri-
SON plans, and perhaps might have thrown him into the
shades OF retirement. The ~bntchcry of the kenluch-
ians under Dudley, at ForI Meigs, was another result Of
his Gcnr:alship. Croghan conquered against his orders,
and Shelby pushed him on ~ The Thames, where the
battle vas won 0y SOh johnson, while HARRISON was,
III fact. nothing more than i spectator, as solitude Ewing
sayss Gailn rs 4 snmlner morning. The kentucklanS
know this; they know that Wctstcr's ,~raachery, by pa
%ra'yzing the spirl OF patriotism in the East, and cutting
OF all supplies from our troops, while il fed the enemy
with the fat Of the land, did not weigh pore heavily on
Western vaor and Western exrr,ion than Harrisons
imbecility and incapacity. Ilc Kcntuckians have met
with many and severe defeats By Harrison, and instead
oi rrariug the glory which was due 10 their valor and IN
]lrcp!Gitv, they reap"d an Gnumrly grave. Kentucky
well remembers tirse facts, and cannot, in justice 10 the
fair fam" Of her patriotic dead, go for Harrison. No.
thing bul carrying ont the principles of any man against
Fam Buren, can make the kcntuckians SO dead to eve
ry feeling Of honor as to 60 Tor uarrison."
This, isIipw-c!izcns. is the wretrhed Commanderin.
Chief Of the North Western Army, who the reynaMs
Wig or Wiggy party would have you believe, is an &c.

whom did he get this appointment: From John, the lst.
In December, 90, he took his seat as delegate TO Con.

but not of voting.
In July, 1900, n strong effort was made 10 reduce the

December, 1c2J. During the administration Of John Q.

was elernally clushing with Van Buren,, Tazewell, ard
the Republican party. '-EItra (rDm Enquirer, Sept. 10.
In February and March lS2j, he voted throughout for
the Panama Mission, in favor Of John the I'd, or John

Federal party in the Senate of the l States.
In lc27, he was appointed Minister to the Republic
Of Columbia, and there offended Bolivar, The real Mil.
