Ills fact that shows the estimation
in which General Harrison's military
services we're held by wei, informed
men, that when a joint resolution of the
two houses Of congress, to present a
gold medal to Gov. Shelby and to Gen
al Harrison was under discussion be-
fore the Senate of the United States. a
motion was offered Mr.. Lacock. OF
Pennsylvania, to strike the name OF
Gen. Harrison from the resolution. and
carried by "a considerable majority.
This fact speaks volumes. The names
of the two general officers. who com
manded tn American army at the battle
of the Thames, came before congress
inorder that they might receive the re
ward of valor and good conduct. Tn
name of Harrison, the comander-ir

request of his warm personal friend Mr.. Harris
by the Administration which 'slernly sets It's face
against these 'punderers OF the public! The
issue will be- readily anticipated. The 'errOrs "
which MIR. Harris speaks of as having occurred
while The office was under his charge were ira
ced cut and explained TO his SUCCESSOR and IN less
than one year from The dale Of his app ointment Mr.
Boyd had so far profited by these instructions as
to plumber The public to the amount of FIFTY
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS!
Here again the administration which sterny
sets its nce against these evils and their authors

Here for the present we rest But ere we leave
the subject, let us ask any man, be his principles

Father lerrck, upon the claims Of General Har-
rson in preference TO Mr.. Van Buren,. In the
course of Mr. HIS remarks he said he could well
recollect when the name of Gen. Harrison was re
echoed from North to South and from East 10
West When mothers would toss thoir little sons
| in their arms aud call them Young Harrison. But,
said ne, whoever heard of mother calling her
son Yam Biren
Mr.. Van Buren,, during life devoted TO intrigue
and party management, has never done noble
deed, by the merits of which he can cluim the
support of single honest and candid man in the
country: Gen. Harrison has spent long and Ia
borous life OF hartships in he service of his coun.
try, nianifesling more than ordinary devotion 10
the public good.
Tie votes OF Orange County in the fall, will
speak well in favor of the meriiorious life of Gen.

sent administration. Be or GOOD CHEER.
