General Harrison is not very rich
man He has bern honest in his dealings
he has been faithful. in all the public Offices
he has held--and he has not taken those
advantages be might have done, without the
violation ofany duty, but by too much con.
fdence in others is characteristic of the
whole life of the man-his native goodness
Of heart has ever prompted him to befriend
all who claimed bis aid This is one
among many other reasons why he is per-.
sonally so popular in the West every
body could claim Gen. Harrison as friend.
This editor. in speaking further of the Cen
eral says that he has known him long. and
had considerable intercourse with him. and
that he saw nothing which was not amiable
and honorable in his deneanoi and charac-
ter.
