Signers of the Declaration Of Independence. who
spent the greater part Of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, of his fortune life and
sacred honor to secure the liberties OF his coun
try.
.'Of the career OF Gen. Harrison | need not
sgeak--the history of the West is his history.
For forty years he has been identified with its in
terosts, its perils and its hopes. Universally be-
loved in the walks Of peace, aud distinguished by
his ability in the councils of his country, he has
been yet more iustrously distinguished in the
field.

service than any other General officer, he per-
hsps, oftener in action than any Of them, and
never sustained defeat. +"
