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

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

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.
Major General in 'h?* Army, Representatives
in Congress,Senator in Congress,or Foreign
