spent the greater part Of his large in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, of his fortune, hIcand
sacred honor, to secure the liberties Of his coun-
try.
'Of the career of Gen. Harrison | need not
speak-the history Of the West, is his history
For forty years he has been identified with its in
terests, its perrils and its hopes. Universally be-
loved in the walks of peace, aud distinguished 10y
his ability in the councils of his country, he has
been yet more illustriously distinguished in the

Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed with
the addition of few regulars under the command
Of Brigadier Gen. HARRISON, possesses the entire
confidence of his fellow soldiers, among whom are
citizens, some of them volunteers in the ranks not
less distinguished by their political stations than by
their, personal merits.

The success on Lake Erie having opened pas.
sage on the territory Of the enemy the officer com.
handing the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thither, and, rapidly pursuing the hostile
