The campaign of 1919 resulteding!orious-
" for the American Arms. The surrender I
of Hull placed blot upon our escutcheon !
which was greatly regretted by every Patri- !
OF and almost entirely destroyed the hopes
ofthe country. But the men at the head of
affairs were determined to wipe away the
disgrace, and for this purpose re-organized
the army and put new men at its head.
Under the lead Of Scott, several skirmish-
es ensued, and the bravery displayed at
Queenstown Heights and the LATHE and cap
ture of Fort George, inspired new hopes in
the American bosom. THIS WAS ONLY
THE BEGINNING OF THE END.
In 1914, Scott was promoted BY President
Madison to the Office of Brigadicr General
and under his supervision, new army was
organized upon our Niagara frontier. He
introduced at once rew system of military
tactics; the new recruits were Immediately
thunder efficient drill. Scott labored for
months, until the army was thoroughly trained
and fitted for all the hardships Of rigorous
campaign. With his youthful hopes and
patriotic ambition, he moved not until he
was perfectly we'll satisfied thatwe had one
army which could cope with the veteran
troops of Great Britain.
The result was most glorious. His troops
met his expectations. Crossing theNagara,
Fort Erie was taken; the battle Of Chippewa
followed; the enemy retreatcd and the Amer
leans pursued;until at last the glorious fight
at Lundy's Lane showed conclusively that
the gallant Americans were superior in every
respect to their adversaries. 1t was one Of
the most brilliant exploits in military histo-
ay, and the news of our success thrilled ev-
cry American heart with joy and hope. At
this battle Scott was wounded and was COM
polled to repair to philadelphia for surgical
aid. Every where, his journey appeared us
triumphal procession. Soon after, peace
was declared, and President Madison pro-
NOTED him to the Office Of Major General, he
having refused the post Of Secretary o
War.
FRIENDS OF SCOTT IN OHIO! The

Let the Scott force in Ohio be organize,
and prepared for the contest. See 10 1t tha

such man as Frank Pierce TO rule over the
destinies ofthis great Republic! God for
