GENERAL JACKSoN's LETTER

The following is the electioneering letter of
General Jackson, to which we alluded in
our last. His unmanly sneers at General
Harrison's military fame, and his audacious
attempt to dictate to the People of the United
States, cannot fail to arouse them to proper
appreciation of their own rights, and urqe
them ON to renewed efforts to crush the con.
temptible dynasty which Gen. Jackson is at
tempting to fasten on the country

true interests of the people when there has
been so much temptation to compromise

not inferior to that of MIR. Jefferson or MIR.

With such opinions of the present Chief

choice to be made at the next election be-

on the latter gentleman as the representative

with the Republican party in any of its great
struggles against the influences which have
been calculated to take power from the people

ment think of giving my support to such an

would be mockery fall public principle.
In respect to the statements which have
been made in several of the newspapers of the
day that disagree with many of my political
friends in the estimate they have formed of
teneral liarrison's military merits, am not
aware OF having said any thing to Justify
them. Having never admired Gen. Harrison
as military man, or considered him as DOS
sesslng the qualities which constitute the
commander of an army, have looked at his
Poiiticai relations alone in the opinions
nave formed or expressed respecting his pre-
tensions to the Presidency, and the consc-
quenccs which would result to the country.

Gen. JAMES MILLER.
SELEM, June 80, 1910.

wy DeUT StT:
L have the honor to have received your let
Ter OF yesterday, requesting me to state what
think OF the recent attacks upon the militia
ny character of General Harrison. Inanswer.
L can truly say, that have noticed with deep
regret, attacks, not only on his we'll earned
military fame, but also upon his private and
moral character. My frstacquaintance with
Gen. Harrison was in the year 1911. | was
on duty'ln the 18th Regiment of Infantry, then
commanded by Col. John p. Boyd-aiter-
wards Gen. Boyd-under orders to proceed to
Vncennes, and there report to GOV. Harri-
son. We did SO. We remained at VIM
cennes some days, and united ourselves with
the Volunteers assembled there, devotnu orr
limited time to purposes of organization and
drlii. we then took up the line of march
Tor the Indian country, and proceeded by slow
and cautious marches, until we reached about
seventy miles up the Wabash towards Tippe-
canoe; where we halted and threw up stoc-
kaded work, which we called Fort Harrison.
Here l remained until the army returned from
IIppecanoe, after the battle.
Although | was not in the battle, still I
took great interest in it had much conversa-
ton with all the officers on their return; and
made every inquiry could think of respect
ing their movements and encampmen,s, the
attack and defence, and the operations of the
battle throughout--and | made up nv mind,
unhesltatingly, that the campaign had been
conducted with great bravery, skill and udg-
ment, and that nothing was left undone, that
could be done consistently with the Generals
express orders from the War Department,
which l saw and read. Nor have / ever
known or heard of any act of his, which has,
IN the least degree, altered the opinion then
formed of him. will add, that if ever had
any military skill, am more indebted for it
TO Gen. Harrison than to any other man.
loon after the battle, wrote a letter to Genl.
Benjamin Pierce, late Governor of n. Hamp-
shlre-my military father, as l called him
giving somewhat detailed account of the
campaign of Tippecanoc. That letter was
preserved by Gen. p. and might now 2roba-
bly, be found among his papers. If it is in
existence it will show what were NV opin-
IONS at that time, as would also several other
letters then written by me to various friends,
