n Il said-lhas General Harrison a1 the
battle 81 Tippecanos sencamped 81 ground
chosen for him 81 his enemy, the Indians. =
y 80, it was asomewhat unwise selection,
for before daylight Il was fatal ground 10
them,
4 Is said,--thas Gen Harrison 1t the battle
of the Thames was Gin reserve corps and
out Of harms way"
ysO, History is slightly mistaken.--For il
says that''he with Adjutant General Butler
and his Aid decamp (vOluntered for the oc-
casionl commodore Perry and General Cas-,
placed himself At the head Of the from line
Ofinfantry to direct the movements of the
Cavalry &giye them the necessary support .
n issaid-that ssMaior croghan cOnViaced
Gen Harrison that he was blamable and all
together mistaken in relation to his course
pursued at the defence Of Fort Stephenson
ESQ, one Major Croghan was altogether
mistaken when in a publication which he
made in speaking of Gen Harrison on that oc-
casion he said: "The measures recently
adopted by him, SO far from deserving CEN
sure are the cIeGrest proofs Of his keen. pene-
trGtion and able generaI-4hiP."
lis said--that ''Gencral Harrison when
Minister to Columbia was recalled for his
meddIing interference with the Government
of that county,"
# 50, history is slightly out of it, for it in
forms US that he was recalled by General
Jackson before the intelligence of his arrival
at Columbia was received at the city of Wash
ingtOn.
II is said-that General Harrison received
$24,65 per day for living quietly at home on
his farm below Cincinnati, attending to his
own business and neglecting the duties as
signed him as Minister to Columbia"
ESQ, history is again little mistaken, for
it says "He accepted this appointment and
repaired sOithoui delay TO the scene of his du-
ties.''
His sGid-that General Harrison became |
so obnoxious to the Government of Column
bia and her citizens that he became near
being assassinated."
ESQ, history, written at the time, is. again
in the wrong; for it says che was received
with every demonstration of respect"
lis said, that General Harrison supported
the administration that passed the alien and
sedition laws
TsO, it is somewhat singular that on the
18th November, 1909, he should write to DR..
Joseph Brownie ofIartford county Maryland |
now of Richmond, which letter is now in |
the hands Of the Richmond whig, on this
wise. "IrejOiee sincerely in the triumph Of
the Republicans Of .UurylGnd, I have written
to my friend Gen Smith to congratulate him
on his appointment to the senate without
having any evidence of it than the success
of the Republican ticket"
1t is said, that "the name of Gen. Harrison |
was stricken out Of a resolution in the United
States Senate, voting honors to the officers
of the late war;"
ESQ, It's strange that Gen Harrison now
has MOST SPLENDID GOLD MEDAL purporting |
to be s'presented by Congress for distinguish
ed military services" finely engraved re-
presentation Of which is now in our Office
and as strange that the records of both Hou-
ses of Congress represent the resolution
awarding it to have passed with but one dis
senting voice.
Il is sGid-that ''General Harrison voted
for selling sOhi!e men into slavery by the
hands of the Sheriff for the non payment of
fines and costs or both.''
IF so, he is more in favour Of sIGUery than
some men would make him out to be.
His sGid-that Gen Harrison is cotOGrd.
Dso, small modern locofocO strikers have
been extremely sagacious in first discovering
it.
II Is said, that Gen. Harrison is Granny.
If so, he is very remarkable one, for che
the West from the scalping knife
and the Nation from wars
His said that Gen Harrison is an abolition
list.
# so, in something less than year from
this time he will ABOLISH "tbe Supremacy of
Executive pOsOer'' from this Government.
Hts said, that General Harrison selves in
a log cabin and drinks hard CIDER"
: If so, it is most probable that he is a Demo-
cratic Republican; one of the people.
II is said, that "it is against the laws of
nature that Gen. Harrison can be elected
in opposition to Mr.. Van Buren,"
DsO, one ofthem viii die between now
and next November,9o or a miracle will be per-
formed in this country at that time. t
