YOUNG BEN OF THE UNITED ETATxs.
The character and Sc vics of Emo man that ev
er lived have been so slightly appreciated, or
so little understood, by a large portion of the
American people, as those Of GEN. VIM. HEN
RI HARRISON; for they have regarded him
merely as victorious general, whose highest
merit is success in contests in the field and whose
chief goryis the splendor which illumes the war
rior's brow. But as great and enduring as is the
fame which he has won in fighting the battles
Of his country, we believe that his feow-citizens
owe him deep debt of gratitude for his zeal and
| ability in defending our civil insttutions-for
the heartfelt patriotism he has manifested in pro
noting the national honor and interests, and the
humanity he has displayed in advancing the
welfare and happnes.t If all who have served I'M
der him in the tented field, or beea thrown in his
path by poverty or misfortune in social life In
deed, as deeply as we have been impressed with
the extent and value Of his services in the bat
tie field and in the councils of the nation, we
have been surprised, on referring to the official
records of impartial history, that an individual
so pre-eminently distinguished by all those quail
ifcatons which should adorn the chief execu-
tive officer of this great republic, has been so
long permitted 10 remain in the obscurity of a
