The Celebration of the Siege Of Fort Meigs.
On this ever blessed and memorable day-provi-
ded it does not rain and all bills paid-takes
place the great, grand, never to- besurpassed cee-
bration of the siege of Fort Meigs, which begun on
the lst Of May 1913, and ended on the Sth OF the
same month.
TO bring up the brilliant events of the last is
just and proper-no matter what be the party mo-
tive If the friends of General Harrison avail them
selves of his gallant deeds, and thus elect him by
appeal to the feelings Of the nation, it shows that
patriotism is not yet all dead and buried. The
Wings, under their name of Tippecanoes, have
originated this celebrations but if the locofocos have
any tact and sagacy left they ought to join it, and
bawl out louder hurras to Harrison than the
other side. Nothing has convinced more Of the
fear, chagrn, and hopelessness of the friends of
Van Buren,, than their sad and melancholy attempts
throw ridicule General Harrison, belittle |
his gallant deeds at Tppecanoe, at Fort Megs, or
the Thames. They jar the national heart, when they
make such attempts On the contrary, the heart
warns and opens at the recollection of glorious
deeds and hard fighting. =; is like drink of hard
cider in a hot day.
In inside we give to-day a variety Of songs |
taken from the newspapers OF the great west, the
scenes Of General Harrison's deeds, which must
strike at once the soul Of every freeman and every
American. The stand which General Harrison made
at Fort Mrigs was the 6rst which ia e Bril-
fish armies met with during the last war II was
the first glorious act in q series Of achievements
land and wAtsron the lake. and the shores which
closed with the victory OF the Thxmes-and subse.
quently followed by the battle Of New Orleans
and that of Lundy's Lane. General Harrison was |
the first military genius that organized victory in
that memorable war. lie the pioneer in that |
career of glory in which General jackson himself
afterwards reaped such laurels.
Let the celebration to-day then be OF the most
generous and national knd-let paltry party feel
rugs among any class Of people, the festivities
the occasion.
