H2RRISION ON, THE PATE OF
HISTORY.

10 the tenth volume of ss'Rsgisler,
page l25, we read the following ss .
part of the proceedings 10 The United
States Senate Here il is: \
"Ths Senate resumed the coasidora
tiOn>Of the joipt resolutioul directing
medals 10 be struck, and together with
tho thanks of Congress, presented to
Major General Harrison aud Governor
Shelby, aud for other purposes. After.
some discussion Mrs. Lseock moved 10
amend the resolution, by striking there.
from Major General Harrison. This
motion was determined in The affirma-

grace to Hsrrison as military man, as
he richl, deserved from his consumma!e
inefficiency as an officer. The whole
country approved ofit, and particularly
the West, where his conduct caused the
unnecessary slaughter Of some Of the
bravest of our soldiers. The famed
butcheIy of Tlppocanoe which the Fed
erals,s are trying to magnify into bril-
liant victory obtained by his bravery,
should call down upon him the execra-

This, as every one will recollect, was
