Turn back 10 the records. aud ear what the Lee

"hs cool, deliberate sklu aud gallant conduct IN
"the baule OF IIPpecluoe, he well deserves the
"warmest thauks Of his country and nation" A
slnIllar resolution emdnaed from tho Legislature OF
Indiana, but five days after the battle. The Gov

Ilehgence, spoke of IN his message ia the same

he conmunlca ed the glorious result 10 Congress-
But the Legislatures oI Kentucky and lndiana, the
Governor ui Pennsy wanna and the President Of the
L. STATES, were all fools or liars, because the noble
Cdss.us says, "at that time Gen. Harrison had
m lary laIne;' aud surely Cassius as an honorable
man."
Let go 10 the battle Of the Thames, and see
whether, lfom the records, Gen. Harrison then had
any military fame. As do not wish to be tedious
wil call only one witness TO the stand to be blasted
by the 1pSe alrH OF Cas>ius; aud that witness is
! Thomas Richie. Nh. Richie, IN The Enquirer OF
October, 1913, after the victory OF the Thames,
thus speaks OF General HARRISON: Tins gallant
General has put all his enemies shame :;

.'ordlray men would have sunk after passing
