is opponent.... The extended and
weakened line of the enemy could offer but a feeble resistance to
the charge of these gallant troops; who dashed through their
ranks....]

[_Sketch of Harrison_ (as governor of Indiana):

... he was re-appointed, at the earnest solicitation of the people
of the territory, and with the public expression of the most
flattering approbation on the part of our chief executive....]

The various and arduous duties of the governor of Indiana, required, for
this office, a man of very superior abilities--one possessed of stern
integrity and prudent moderation, accompanied by the most unwavering
firmness. Such a man Governor Harrison, in the long course of his
administration, fully proved himself to be. And in acting his part as a
general he merits no less the applauses of his countrymen, in training
and leading their armies to victory. The nervous and impassioned
eloquence, and classical felicity of illustration, with which he
enforced his arguments, gained him much applause and influence,-- and
discovered his abilities to be of the highest order, blended with the
truest republican principles;-- in which were manifested an ardent zeal
for the good of his country, and an earnest desire to serve her best
interests. Though vested with unusual powers, both as governor and
general, he was never known during the whole of his command, to exercise
his authority in an unjust or oppressive manner. His measures were
energetic but always qualified by his characteristic moderation and
humanity, joined with integrity, prudence, and capacity for civil
government. Many high encomiums were lavished upon him by those whose
friends and neighbours had participated in this campaign, and who were
consequently familiar with its details, and with the merits of their
commander.
