Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Memoir of the Public Services of William Henry Harrison, of Ohio In preparing for the press a work lately published, containing sketches of the History of the Western States, the author became possessed of a large number of facts, connected with the public services of General Harrison. They would properly have formed a part of the work alluded to; but as that had already swelled to a larger size than had been anticipated, as these would form in themselves a connected narrative, and as they relate to an individual whose name is now placed before the people of the United States, under circumstances calculated to awaken curiosity in regard to his history - it has been thought best to arrange these materials into a separate volume. It is mostly a compilation from other writers; among which the author especially acknowledges his obligations to Dawson, the biographer of General Harrison; and to M'Affee, the historian of the late war.

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of William Henry Harrison (of Ohio) The People's Candidate for the Presidency The citizens of a free republic are told to follow the example of tyrannical monarchies! to imitate them! to reduce the price of produce, of property, and of labour to one-fourth of what it has been, and to debase the condition of freemen to that of abject slaves! While seeking office, they bowed low to the people, and professed to he republicans of the purest school of democracy. Since they have attained their object, they have pursued unblushingly the most arbitrary measures, and have even dared to cite the example of foreign despotisms as good authority for their misdeeds. They have already seized upon the public purse, in their practical anticipation of their favourite scheme, the Sub-Treasury, and have endeavoured to grasp the sword of the nation by their new Militia System, as proposed and urged by the Secretary of War, and as recommended by the Chief Executive in his last annual message to congress; - an iniquitous attempt to raise a standing army of 200,000 men - 100,000 of whom should be drafted and called into service whenever the president chose to order them out, and should be under his control, and subject to such regulations us he might see fit to prescribe. The celebrated historian of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, says: "In whatever State an individual unites in his person the execution of the laws, the command of the army, and the management of the revenue, that State may be termed a monarchy." Has not this administration aimed at a monarchy then? Does it not possess "the execution of the laws !" Has it not pursued its infamous Sub-Treasury scheme, though thrice rejected by the people, until it has acquired an absolute control over "the management of the revenue!" And has it not taken cunningly devised steps to obtain "the command of the army!" And had it succeeded in all its wild and reckless attempts, would it not have converted our free government into a despotism in fact, even were it suffered still to retain a republican name! But, happily, this monstrous scheme of grasping ambition has failed. Our noble country, whose freedom was purchased by the wisdom and valour of our patriotic sires, is not yet doomed to become the prey of a designing despot, whose sole endeavour, since his election to office, has been, not to promote the welfare of the people, but to perpetuate his own power, to pamper and reward his unscrupulous partisans, and to humble the labouring classes of his fellow-citizens to the miserable condition of European serfs. Of these facts the people are now aware. They have been too long deluded by specious pretences and flattering hopes, and are at length aroused to a just sense of the injuries that have been heaped upon them by the evil measures and corrupt policy of this administration, and have determined to redress their wrongs. The political position of our country, as it now exists, presents a very singular anomaly. It can scarcely be said that party is now striving with party for the ascendancy; but rather that the people, the great mass of the people, of all parties and all conditions, have united in opposition to the drilled ranks of the administration office-holders, and their host of hired and subservient myrmidons - and not for the purpose of regaining their power merely, but for the welfare, almost the existence of their country as a free republic, and for the preservation of her most cherished institutions. The people, before whom all tyrants tremble, have arisen in their majesty to assert their independence, and to shake off the iron fetters which they had almost suffered to be riveted upon them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The People's Presidential Candidate: Or the Life of William Henry Harrison, of Ohio The materials for the following "Life" have been chiefly derived from a work published in Cincinnati in 1824, entitled "A historical narrative of the civil and military services of Major General William H. Harrison, and a vindication of his character and conduct as a statesman, a citizen, and a soldier; with a detail of his negotiations and wars with the Indians until the final overthrow of the celebrated chief Tecumthe, and his brother the Prophet. The whole written and compiled from original and authentic documents furnished by many of the most respectable characters in the United States; by Moses Dawson." This is a thick octavo of nearly five hundred closely printed pages, containing many state papers, letters, and public documents, and furnishing a great mass of facts, but very ill arranged, and running frequently into a tedious and confused minuteness. This book has long since been out of print, and to the general reader it could never have been a very inviting performance. Considerable use has also been made of a "Memoir of the public services of William Henry Harrison, of Ohio, by James Hall;" published at Philadelphia in 1886.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life and Public Services of William Henry Harrison: With an Appendix Containing the Letters of Aids-De-Camp John Chambers, John Speed Smith, Charles S. Todd and John O'fallon; Extracts From Public Documents Young Harrison was educated at Hampden Sydney College; and, by the advice of his friends, turned his attention to the study of medicine. But about the period when he had completed his education, soon after the death of his father, the increased and bar barous hostilities of the Indians on our northwestern borders, began to excite a feeling of indignation throughout the whole country. In this general excitement our young student participated so warmly, that he resolved to relinquish his professional pursuits, and join the army destined to the defence of the Ohio frontier.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Sketch of the Life and Public Services of William Henry Harrison The fame of our country's Patriots and Statesmen is the dearest inheritance of every true-hearted American - its preservation, unsullied by the breath of calumny, untarnished by the venom of envy, among the most imperative as well as most grateful of his public duties. In all ages, the spirit of liberty and of glorious emulation in the cause of justice and of patriotism has been fostered and diffused by the contemplation of the lives and characters of those who have rendered themselves illustrious by their virtue, wisdom, and devotion to the welfare of their country. The poets and historians of the earlier ages were but rivals in the great work of presenting in the most inviting form to their countrymen, and embalming for the benefit of posterity, the events and the characteristics which had elevated the heroes and sages of their times so proudly above the level of the multitude; and the popular fatuity which worshipped the departed founder or preserver of a nation as a deity, was perhaps wisely countenanced by the more enlightened as a ready and effectual auxiliary in the great work of keeping alive the memory of their prowess or self-devotion, and inciting to an emulation of their valor or virtue, in the hope of rivalling their imperishable renown. It is not necessary, even were it consistent with the purpose of the following narrative, to state in this place the causes which have combined to place Gen. Harrison more conspicuously before the American people, and to call for a recapitulation of those achievements which, scarce twenty years since, acquired for him the enthusiastic approbation and gratitude of the American people. Do they yet linger in the memory of the patriot of that hour of our country's peril? Then he will need no apology for their revival. Are they so soon forgotten? It is high time, then, that some memorial of their existence were again submitted to the contemplation of an intelligent, patriotic and grateful people.
