General IN the best days OF the Re-

Sentiments of the Hero of Fort
Stephenson, Col. CROGHAN:
q desire no plaudits which are
bestowed upon me at the expense of
Gen. Harrison.
" have felt the warmest attach
ment to him as a man, and my conf |
deRce in him as an able commander |
remains mistaken. [ feel every as
surance that he will at all times do
me ample justice; and nothing could
give me more pain than to see his en-
emies seize on this occasion to deal
out their unfriendly feelings and acri-
monious dislike; and as long as he
continues las in my humble opinion
he has hitherto done) to make the wi
sest arrangements and the most judi
cious disposition, which the forces
under his command will justify, shall
not hesitate to unite with the army in
bestowing upon him that confidence
which he so richly merits, and which
has on no occasion been withheld"
The Richmond Enquirer said:
General Harrison's letter tells Us
every thing that we wish to know "a
bout the officers, except himself. He
does justice to every one but Harri-
son-and the world must therefore do
Justice TO the man who was too mod
est to do justice to himself"
From General Harrison's Report of
the battle of the Thames
We have suffered greatly for the
want of provisions, and the whole ar
my has subsisted, for the last three
days, on raw beef without salt
o." In all ages, and in all coun-
tries, it has been observed, that the
cultivators of the soil are those who
are the least willing to part with their
rights, and submit themselves to the
will of a master.'
WIN. H. HARRISON.
0P" THE PEOPLE OF THE
UNITED STATES.--May they
ever remember that to preserve theii
! liberties, they must do their own vo
ting and their own fighting"

, General Harrison has done NOR,
for his country, with less compensa
o ton for it, than any man living

,e Post Master General of the Unite
Ks States, in his life Of Perry, publishe
or in 1921, after giving a general biogr
y, ply Of General Harrison, said:
"The defence of Fort Meigs, ar
Sc the subsequent capture of the Britii
es army, may be fairly considered Il
most brilliant and extraordinary even
,e, of the late war;
or In abiding to the battle Of t
m, Thames, he said:
of 1" 1t must be conceded that this v
he tory reflected great honor upon the I
ID, tional arms, and upon the troops
in whom it was achieved.
IN "The action, and the moveme
&C. which preceded it, afford ample te
la, mony of the judgment and cool int
US pidity of General Harrison and,
an deed, all the events of the campai
ag- support these characteristics the
mo asters attending it, having in no
ties stance been imputable to him.

tri- instances of such cool and steady
ar trepidity, on the part of militia, o
nor force of this description, as was I
played on this occasion"
Let these facts be borne cC
