Look AT THIs-TRUE STATE OF THE CASE.
The Cincinnati Republican, edited for
the present by the venerable Col. Charles
Todd, after enumerating the various letters
and speeches in which Gen. Harrison has
expressed his opinions unequiYocally upon
all the grert questions that concern the
country, makes the annexed remarks, which
deserve particular attention. They deserve
attention, because they are from the pen Of
a gentleman, WHO'S the very soul Of chiv-
alnc honor and Immaculate truth, and who,
for upwards Of score Of years, has proba-
bly, known Gen. Harrison more intimately
than any other man in all the west. No

TrGnATrTUDE 81 THE RErUBITC.

rNoRArrTUDr Of THE REPUBLIC.
CheyaIier, an enlightened French
traveller, who published a book of
interesting letters about our country,
observed thatthe adage that Repub-
lies are ungratefuI, was abundant
Iy realized in the United States.
He refers to Mr. GALLATIN who
after having grown old in the ser
vice Of the country; after having
been forty years q member Of the
Cabinet, a Misister abroad, after
having taken part in many a wise
and good measure Of the Federal
Government, was dismissed with
out any provision, and would have
terminated his life in poverty, had
not his trends given to him the of
flee he holds; to Mr.. JEFFERSON,
and to Mr.. MoNRoE, one Of whom
was reduced to the necessity of ask
ing permission Of the Virginia Leg
islature to dispose Of his real estate,
by lottery, and the other constrain-
ed to impIore the compassion Of
Congress.
AS another instance Of national
injustice, he was struck with the
caseof General HARRISON. Chew
alier encountered that gentleman at
Cincinnati, and gives the following
comment:
Il had observed at the hotel, a
man Of about the medium height,
stout and muscular, and of about
the age ofsixty years, yet with the
active step and lively air Of youth.
| I had been struck with his open
and cheerful expression, the amen
/ ity ofhis manners and a certain air
of Command, which appeared
Through his'pIain dress. That is,

Clerk Of the Cincinnati Court of

conquerer of Tecumseh and Proc
tor; the avenger ofour disasters on
the Raisin and at Detroit; the ex-
governor ofthe Territory Of Indi-
: ana the ex-senator In Congress,
the minister ofthe United States to
one Of the South America Repub-
lies. He has grown old in the ser
vice of his country, he has passed
; twenty years of his life in those
fierce wars with Indians, In which
there less glory to be won, but more
