In the many high stations which he has FL
led, he has never been in the habit OF EN-
pioying n secretary or any amanuenss. to

this duty for himself. He IS an animated and

fe!ctous.

and moderation. that caused Gen. Harrison
to be so much beloved by the militia whom

CHARACTER OF GEN. HARRISON.
We must now review some OF the ground
that we have passed over, for the purpose
OF presenting in another point of view, the
public services ofthe distinguished indvid.
ual, hose eventtul career has occupied our
attention. We have more than once al
Iuded to- the integrity and dlsintereSl Gness
of Gen Harrison We have noticed his na-
tro,ism aud devutednesss to his country;
and we now propose to offer some proofs
of the display OF these qualities in addition
to the evidence afforded by his public acts.
We have seen that Gen. HARRISON never
contemplated the military service as a
permanent profession. When the first war
for independence had terminated by the
victory of Wayne, and the delivery ofihe
British posts IN the northwest, he threw
aside ihe habillments ofa soldier and ac-
cepted civil office. He passed from one
grade to another, enjoying successfully the
confidence Of the eldr Adams, Jefferson,
and Madison, and of the people of Ohio
and Indiana. As Governor of Indiana, and
superintendent of Indian affairs. for thir-
teen years, large sums Of money passed
through his hands, to be dispursed at his
discretion, and subjected to few of the
checks which are now provided under The
admirable arrangement of Offices at Wash
ington. He gave no security: nor had the
government any other guarantee for the
faithful application of those funds, but his
prudence and honesty. That he was true
to his trust, is obvious from the fact, that
he remained poor, aud did not become the
debtor Of the governmental made no
speculation upon the public money or lands.
In the expedition Of Tippecanoe, he led
the militia of his own territory. and a few
volunteers from Kentucky, into the field
as governor of Indiana, and commander-in.
