w r?x= wmmmamaevmmmmmmKstemmatmmammmmmm THE WHIG CANDIDATE. j POS TJIii presidency. < For the information of a large class of ( rihz'iis who have more recently than others t arrived at an age to take part in the scenes t of active life, an 1 may be inclined to ask t 44 Who is General Harbison ?"?we sub i join a brief sketch of his character andscr- c vices, which wo derive from a contemporary i journal.?National Intelligencer. < , 4 General William Henry Hatrison was < born on the ninth day of February, 1773, ! t in Cuurles City coun'y, Virginia, at the j i family scat on the James river, culled li( Tk- j l e!y? about seventy miles below Richmond, j < His fnher was Denjumiu IlarrisoN, ahneai i descendant of the celebrated General of i that name, who held a commission in the < parliamentary aimies during the English i civil wars, and who, for his d?-vo:ion to re? publican principles, perished on ihe scaffold. Benjamin Harrison wasu dis'ingutsh. e J citizen of Virginia, much honored and highly trus t:d by his fellow-citizens. He i was brother-in-law of Peyton Randolph, the i first President ol Congress, and was hims'dfj n member of that body during the years 1772, and 1779. It was principally through j his influence that John Hancock was chosen to preside over the Congress, as successor to Peyton Randolph. H*j was chairman of the Committee of the Whole House when the Doclaraiion of Independence was finally agreed to ; and his signa'ure is borne upon tint celebrated document.?Having retired from Congress, he was elected a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, over which body he presided, as Speaker, until 17^, when he was elected Governor of -he Sia'e. Benjamin Harrison died poor, leaving three sons, of whom William Henry Harrison was the youngest. At his fathers d^'Uli he was a minor, and was left by his filler's will to the guardianship of Robert Morris, the celebrated financier. He hud selected the practice of medicine as a profession, and was diligently pursuing his sfu. di?-s with that object, at Hampden Sydney college, when the disasters of the Indian war on the Northwestern frontier, and the call for men and officers for the defence of the settlers, induced him to enter into the military service. His guardian would have dissuaded him from this determination but Washington, his father's friend, approved of ;? nrwl wave him a commission cfensign in " e> . the first regiment of United States artillmy, ( then stationed at Fort Washington, on the present site of the city of Cincinnati, and un df r the command of General St. Clair Governor of the Northwest Territory and com. mnnder?iti_chief of the military fines in that seciion of lite country. As soon us he received his commission, young Garrison, who was at this time hut n-neteen years of age, hastened to join his regiment, and arrived at Fort Washington shortly after the disastrous defeat of S . Clair, near the head waters of tho W.ibash. This was a time of great danger and alarm. Shofdy after his arrival at Fort Washingion, he was appointed the escort of a train ofpackhorses, hound for Fort Hamilton, some twenty or thirty miles north of Fort Washington ; which difficult service he performed with such credit as to attract the particular not ice of the commander in -chiefi fit 1792, fiarr.son was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, aud in 7703 he joined tho army under General Wayne. His spirit, enterprise, and sagacity soon attracted the notice of that commander, who nppointed him one of his aids_de^camp, in which difficult and responsible post he served dur !_ II ing tho war. His services, especially ?i the battle of theMaumee Rapids, by which the contest was brought to a close, ore men> tinned with emphasis in (Jen. Wayne's ofli ciul account of the victory. After the close of the war, Harrison was promo ed to the rank of Captain, and was in command of Fort Washington the most important post in the Western country. Wh le in this com- I niand, he mnnied a daughter of John Cloves ves Symmes, the founder of the Miami ?' ?. tlements?a lady in whom he has ever found a faithful and affectionate companion. in 1797, Harrisou resigned htscommission in the army, and was appointed Stx*retary of the Northwestern Territory, and oxofficio Lieutenant Governor. I ho next year the Northwestern Territory entered the second grade of Territorial Government, and became entitled to a Congressional delegate. General Harrison was chosen to hi! this in>j>ortant station. Mo remained in Coogress only one year, hut during that rime he rendered very essential service to his constituents. As the law then stood, the public lands could only be purchased in tracts offour thousand acres ; a very great hardship upon the poor settlers, who were thus obliged to purchase at second-hand, nod at an enhanced price, Harrison brought this subject before Congress, ond moved u committee to consider it. Of that committee he was himself appointed chair, man; the only instance, it is believed, in which such honor has been conferred upon a Territorial delegate. He made a report, accompanied by a bill, authorizing the pub. lie lands to be sold in alternate half and quarter sections ; that is, in alternate tracts of three hundred and twenty and one hun. dred and sixty acres. The report attracted great attention, as did Harrison's speccn in support of it, but the bill was very vehement opposed. It passed the house, however, by a large majority. In the Senate the resistance was so great that; t length a commits e of conference was appointed. Harrison was one of the committee, and finally a compromise was agreed to, by winch the public landsj were to be sold in alternate whole and half sections, that is, alternate tracts of six hundred and forty and three hundred and twenty acres. This w?s a great improvement upon the former law ; and as at th.s time settlers began to flow rapidly into Ohio, its beneficial results were instantly felt. At this session ofCongres* a bill was passed for dividing the Northwestern Terri'orv.? Ohio became a Territory by itself; whire all i the rest of the Northwestern country, the ex. I isting States of Indiana, Illinois, aad Michi. i i iggWMWfWl ! MHT??? ?nn, and the Territory of Wisconsin, was v ireated into a new Territory, hy the name >PIndiana. Aiier the purchase of Louisiana t< hat vast country was annexed to the India. t< la Territory, and so remained for some u ;imt?. Of this new Territory General Har- <j ison was appointed Governor. He b< - t ame, hy virtue of his appointment, Superinendent of Indian Affairs within lis juris.. I Jiction, and in addition, he was appointed I jole Commissioner for treating with the In- i Jians. We have not room to go into ade- s ail of his territorial administration. Suffice \ t to say that he was reappointed, from time c .0 time, for fourteen years, always at the t i*press request ot the inhabitants. II s t station as superintendent of Indian Affairs ( and Indian Commissioner involved him in 1 complicated negotiat ons and disputes with J the eelebrctcd Tecumseh, and his brother, I the Prophet, the details of which, if we had | room for them, would he highly interesti g. i These troubles at length resulted in the ex- i p^diiion to Tippecanoe, by which the schemes of the Shawnee, chiefs were bro- f ken up, and their forces dissipated. < At the breaking out, however, of the war i with Great Britain in 1812, all h'* dangers of an Indian war were renewed and aggrava ted, and that danger became immncnt when he inefficient conduct of Gen. Hull, upon the Detroit frontier, became general y known. A large bo ly of volunteers was organ z:ng in Kentucky for the protection of the Northwestern fron i?Tand General Harrison, whose conduct in the Tippecanoe affair had b en highly approved throughout whole Western country, was s<nt for by Gov. Scoit to advise and n'd in thGr organ zation and disposition. While in Kentucky, where he was received with the greatest enthusiasm, orders caine from Was ing'on, mafin? a nart of these troops under h s r' ct i? command, for the protection of the Indiana Territory. The rest wen? ordered *o concentrate, for the purpose of marching to die aid of Gen. Hull. In the mean time le'tor* w< re rec< ived from Hull's arrry. com la - j ing greatly of the in< fficiency ??f Hu I t I j express ng an earnest wish that IJitrsmi might command the expeercJ reinforcement. The K-mtucky volunteers concurred in this wish ; bui a difficulty ex's ed, inasmuch as his commission from the Un'tcd S at?s did not authorize him to take the command of any troops except those intended to operate within the bounds of h s jur'sd ctton, which at that time embraced only It di ?na and Illinois ;'Missouri and M cleg in having been before this time erected into separate Territories, In this dilemma. Governor Scoti called together a caucus of influential persons among whom were Mr. Shelby, Governor elect, Henry Clav, Speaker of the United Stab's House of Represenfa ives, and Thomas Tod I, Judge of the Federal Circuit Court. In conformity ?o heir ad vice, Governor Scott gave Harrison a Wre e *? ; - r*?1.- .1....1.- v VCl COmmiS OUOl lu'lJOi uniiomi iiiiiic iinr tacky mditiu, and placed the deiachrm nt marching for Detroit tin l* r his command. This nppoin ment was nc? ived with universal applaus ', especially as the surrender of Hull now became known, and General H >rrison put iho troops instantly in mo ion, and advanced through Onio towards the seat of war. In the moan time, hoveve, let era came from Washiugten, wri ten in ignorance of the surreud r of Hull and of the doings in Kentucky, appointing General Winchester to the command of the forces m irehing on Detroit Having by this time advanced far into Ohio, relieved Fori Way ne, which Imd been besieged by the Indians, and destroyed the Indian towns on ihe Wiu hash H irrison surrendered the command 1 IVntilfti tcv tha rprrrcl lO VJt'Iirmi If III' ucaivi I I IWV..

Proper representations bavng been made at Wushing on, in a short time,and greatly to the satisfaction of the soldiers, despatch' s arrived appointing General Harrison com. mander-in chief of the Northwestern arm-, and craning him tlie amples' powers for the conduct of the war. It is impossible here to give any detailed account of the two campaigns of the North, western army, which resulted in the recovery of Michigan and the annihilation of the British army of Upper Canada at the battle of he Thames. These cump.iigns were conducted in the midst of the grontest difficulties and embar. rassmen's but at length resul ed in a coinpletc t iumpli. Gener ral H rrison was tltu only American g neral during that war who penetrated to any considerable distance into the Canadian territory, who conquered ^nny portion of that territory, or who gained a decisive vie. "" ? '">nn Ri-iticW frrntin<L Those who .W.J ....... ,5 wish to r? nii the details of these campaigns will find them, with many interesting particulars, in a tilde volume pubiisheJ by Weeks & Jordan, of Bos on, uudei the title of " The People's Presidential Candidate, being the Life of William Henry Harrison, of Ohio," a book to which we are indebted for the materials of this slefh. After resigning his commission in the army, Gen, Harrison was appointed a Commissioner to treat with the Indians, and he took a leading part in the two treaties , of Greenville and of Detroit, by which a , final settlement was made of our relations with the Northwestern tribes. In 1816, he was elected Representative to Congress to fill a vacancy, and for the nexi two years. While a member of the House, he principally exerted himself with regard to two great measures; one, a reform of the milit a sys em, in which unfortunately he failed ; the other, the relief, by the granting of p- nsions, of ihe veteran soldiers of the Revolution. and of those wounded or disabled in the late war. In 1824, ho was elected from the State of Ohio to the U. S. Senate, and being appointed chairman of the committee on military , affairs, in the place of Gen. Jackson, who ( had reigned, he devoted himself to the du- j tics of thai'station besides giving much labor < to a consolidation of the pension acts, and die passage of a uniform law to embrace the cases of all those who should be deser ing of this scrt ofjustico from their country. I In 1828, Generul Harrison was appoin- j (id by President Adams m nister pienipo-1 sn iary to the Republic of Colombia. He | riiv? d at Bogota, und entered on the duties \ if ii:s mission, but was presently recalled >y General Jackson. Since his return from South America, he las lived retired upon his farm at North Send. Having never been rich, and liavng spent a largo pari of his rroper'y in the icrviee of his coun.ry, as a means of pro. riding for those dependant upon him, and )f supporting that plain but ample hospitaliy in which he bus ever indulged, ho uccep ed the office of Clerk of the Courts for the :ounty in which tie resides. In the same *ay, and for similar reasons, ex-President Monroe accepted the offi-e and discharged [ho duties of u justice of the peace, a res. pectnble and independent course, which the rich and luxuraus may ridicule but which no repuhli an can fail to approve. In 1m3"). vvithou any previous concert or arrangement, and without the assis'anre of any party machinery, Gen. Harrison was unexpectedly brought forward as a candidate for the Pre*iJen<y, and notwithstanding there were two other Opposition candidates in the field, he received a larger vote than the out re Opposition had been able to muster at either ot the previous elections since thai of 1828. In every public station which he has hitherto held wh th< r as Territorial Delegate, Territorial Governor, Ifld'ari Cornmiss oner.
