Sentiments OF the Hero Of Fort Stephen

ment:
q desire no plsudiis which are bestowed upon mo
at the expense Of General Harrison.
!" have felt the waImest attachment Ior MN an
man, aud my confidence in him an able commander
remains unshsken feel every assurance tha. he WIZ
at all times do ample Justice and nothing could
give more pain than to see his enemies seize upon
this occasion deal their uniriendly feelings and
acrimonious dislike and as long as he continues, las
IN my humble opinion he has hitherto done to make the
ises and the most ndicous disposition
which the forces under his command will justify, shall
hesitate unite with the army Ia bestowing upon
him that confidence oheh he richly merits, aud which
has occasion been withheld"
Lastly we come to the neat compliment Of
Thomas Richie, editor Of the Richmond En-
quirer, the leading organ Of the Coalition in
the South, who now brandishes hisold "chape-
less sword with two broken points," and
threatens devastating war upon the conqueror
Of the British and Indian Coalition Of the
West! The Richmond Enquirer said:
General Hamison's letter tells us every thing that
wish to know about the officers, except himself lie
does Justice every but Harrson-and the world
must therefore do justice TO the man, who was too mo
dest TO DO just to himself"
"He," General Harrison) seems 10 be willing to
set the negroes free and sell white into slave

From Mr.. Van Buren's message:

Comment by the Editor
We cannot comply with the request of our
correspondent, because we would prescribe 40
man for his opinions sake, nor do we think it
right to parade the opinions of private individ-
uals before the public, and put them to certifying
whether we have reported them correctly or not.
This is the spirit of Federalism which we con-
denim. and besides our duty is to deal in candor
and kindness with our neighbors that they may
he induced 10 reason with US on the causes which
have brought the country into its present 'ondi-'
ton, that they may be convinced of their error
Ifthere any single instance in which an individ-
ual has done wrong, that is no reason why we
should give offence to hundreds of innocent par
ties. We must never permit our just resent
ment at the conduct of one man, to injure others
who are innocent and have done no wrong.
