were commanded from their several authors
by the lofty patriotism, valor, talents and sue
cess OF Gen HARRISON, long before he was
named for the Presidency, and in times which
ought TO give them weight sufficient TO bear
down all the petty. calumnies and quibbling
objections which party nalignity may now
presume to forge against the war-worn and
