GENERAL. HARRISON
Since the tathcauon OftLe treaty Of Gncnt 20
event has Afforded More pleasure than The cleo
uOn oi this gentleman To u seat in Congress HIS
eminent services, from his ear lest youth To the pre-
sent day, and particularly during the late war with
Great Britain, have given him high claims on toe
Sraiitude of ms countrymcn; and the manner in
which he has been treated Inv the u,v,eTs fLat hc
have drawn stu closer the ties with which he has
Iuns been connected with the people of tho western
states. They have witnessed with indignation and
astnnishmcnt, that the thanks of his country, the
soldiers sole reward, were denied 10 the chief who
had often led them TO victory: and whose Cxertious
had secured Their hrcsdcs against the Jury OF tue
saNaSc; while LOHOTs Ol eve. Kind were prulusuly
lavis,ed on other commanders, whose victories
'boHght with blood, had given him only an empty
name To our arms. They have felt themselves deem
~ injured by the insults offered To their favoutc
commander; and have earnestly lOnCed for an op-
pDTunIty oI coni0undinS the malice of his onen,s,

lnVectIVe of which the general has been the oLicci
both IN Congress aud elsewhere, have augmented
only the glory Of has Triumph, and rondeTcd his sue
cess more complete. The voice OF the people has
loudly proclaimed has nth, and covered his a. Gu

allpOwerfI weight OF local interest hr has obtain
I'd an unprecedented majority, not only over al the
opposing cand dates, but also of all the vOies of the
dstTlci which he ~ called Ia repre- cnt. Nor Ia this
result 10 be attributed To the personal eXCTtons of
Harrison or his friends or the influence cencTElIv
derived from long residence aud family connexions.

have been much less sangnlno than those of some
