Senate OF the u s. to take rank from the 22d of

learn, was doubtful in the Senate the state
ments OF the [Federal] PARTY prints to the
trary notwithstanding"
So much for the Argus account of General

of General lIarrison's services during the last
WIar, and his coURAGE as an officer.
.Argus Of May, 1913.
"GEN. HARRISON determined on general rally,
and sent an officer to Gen, Clay, directing him to
land 800 men some short distance above, to at
tack and carry the enemy's batteries spike their
cannon and destroy the Artillery General Clay
was unfortunately delayed longer than he ex-
pected in passing the Rapids, and the detachments
destined to make the attack did not reach the
landing until nine o'clock this, however, did
not prevent them from making the attempt, and
nerer 1caS any thing more completely successful;
the batteries were Immediately taken possession
of, and their defenders driven off and their can
non spiked. "GEN Harrison i'm
medately ordered out Il detachment consisting of
part of the 18th U. S. regiment, about 100 twelve
months volunteers and some militia they how
ever succeeded in driving the ENEMY EN-
IlRELY OFF pursuant to the PLAN OF GEN.
HARRISON"
Same date-His COURAGE and PRUDENCE
"GEN. HARRIsoN-A PRUDENT and Expr-
R!ENCEo officer; of whom it will NEVER be said
that HE abandoned MS enemy and escaped from
the enemy by the 'fleetness Of his horse
The Argus of Nov. 4th 1913, says:-sThe
prospect appears brilliant to the United States,
resulting from the success Of the .fmcricGn firms
[under Harrsonl in Upper Canada. The
en- of, and thousands of our frontier families are
left free to occupy their farms; and repose, fear
less of the Indian tomahawk and scalpng knife"
The Argus Of 10th December, 1913, speaking
Of Harrison's Victory, says 1.-THE result is
SIGNALLY HONORABLE to Major General
HARRISON, by whose MILITARY TALENTS it was
prepared
The Argus of 22d July 1913, gives the PETIT
COAT STORY of Gen. Harrison as follows
General Harrison informed the Chiefs of the
agreement made by Proctor to deliver him to Te-
cumseh, in case the British succeeded in taking
Fort Meigs. He promised them if he should be
successful he would deliver Proctor Tthe British
General,] into their hands-on condition that
they should do him no other harm than to put a
PETTICOAT on him, for none but a co WARD
OR a SQUAW WOULD KILL Il PRIS-
ONER"
Republicans of Maine What confidence can
you have in paper that could thus idoliee GEN
HARRIsoN in the perilous times, during the War
of 1912 and '13; and so late 1924, during the
warm Presidential canvass between Adams, Clay.
Crawford and Jackson,) boast of his Republican,
ism, as the head of the electoral Ticket for Ohio :
and which now is seating its own words" by
yillifying this same General Harrison and de-
nouncing him as federalst !! Will you be-
lieve the Eastern Argus of 1919 and '13, while
sustaining the Republican cause and the country,
against British aggression and their right of
search and their insults to our flag or will yon
believe the Eastern Argus no1c a slave as it is,
to the tederal doctrines of 184O-prasing the
British Government-sustaining old federalists,
like Rcuel Williams, and host of otherso
If you are sincere Democrat, you will sustain
the men who were Democrats during the last war,
when the lines clearly marked between
Republicans and Federalists The Eastern Ar
gus was then Democratic in its principles, and
sustained such Democrats as JEFFERSON, MADI-
son, HARRISON and host of worthless. Now, it
sustains Mr. Van Buren,, who opposed the war ;
voted then with the Federaists in the Legislature
OF New York. and now recommends the measure
of % out of 27 of the tyranical and corrupt Gov
ernments of the old world and conpels his purfu
to adopt it, as an OFFICE-HoLDERs> BANK. under
the specious title Of an "Independent Treasu-
ry!!'
