.'Or TIE career of Gen. Harrison I need not
Feak--the history Of the West, is his history.
For forty years he has been identified with its in
,nrcSts, its perils and its hopes Universally be-
Owed in the walks of peace, and distinguished by
his ability in the councils of his country, he has
been yet more ustrousy distinguished in the
field
During the late war, lie was longer in active
service than any other General officer, he was per-

never sustained defeat. "

the addition of few regulars under the command
of Brigadcr Gen. HARRISON, possesses the entire
confidence of his fellow soldiers, among whom are
citizens some of them volunteers in the ranks, not

handing the Northwestern arms transferred the
