The witness I an account of the battle of the Rapids he says: "My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison rendered most essential services, by communica ting my orders in every direction, and by his con duct and travcry exciting the troops to press for ward for victory." Sir, this evidence was given by General Wayne in the year 1794, some time I imagine, before the gentleman from Michigan, was born and long, very long after he perused the title page of Baron Steuben. Mr. Speaker let me remind the House, in passing that this battle 3 yictolry over the Indian forces of the Nrtlnvest in wiucn accoraing 10 me lesumuiiy ui ueiieiai Wayne, " Lieutenant Harrison rendered the most essential services by his conduct and bra very," crave peace to an exposed Ime oi frontier, extending from Pittsburg to the southern bor ders ot Tennessee. It was, m truth, the close of the war of the Revolution, for the Indians who took part with Great Britain in our revolu lionary struggle never laid down their arms un til after they were vanquished by Wayne in J 794 We now come to something of the man, the General, whose military history our able and experienced General from Michigan has review ed. We know that debates like this have been sometimss had in British Parliament. There I believe, thedircussion wasusually conducted by those who harc seen & not merely heard of ser vice. We all know th: t Col.Napier,has,in several of Wellin- TCIllll I volumes, renewed the campaigns not even excepting our Uenerai irom Michigan We respect the opinions of Napier, because he not only thovght of war we know, but that he fought too. We not only respect and admire luauu.uluaUuUiuu aV ..h,WBUu statesmanlike views, wnicn we nnd m uaesar s Commentaries', because Ave know the "mighty ...u: u - , Julius" was a soldier, trained in the fieid and trained to tneaccments ana dangers o war. But or, we Generate of Congress require no such pamiul discipline to give value to our o- pinions. We men of the 19th centurv know all things intuitively. We undetstand the mil- itarv art perfectly by nature. Yes, sir. the no- tions of the gentleman from Michigan, agree tions of the gentleman from Michigan, agree exactly with a sage by theneme of Dogberry' xchn insisted ' that readmp- and writmer came bv - o o ea-inwreatungiuwnu, nature. , . t 4v I 1U1.

For instance the gentleman from Michi gan asserts that General Harrison has none of the qualities of a General, because at the battle of Tippecanoe he was once lound at a distance from his tent, urging his men on to battle. He exposed his person too much it seems. He should have staid at his tent" and waitedull his officers came for orders. Well, sir, see now to what conclusion this leads ns. Napoleon sei zed a standard at Lodi, and rushed in front of his columns across a narrow bridge, which was swept by a whole park of German artillery. Hence Napoleon was no officer; he did not linnw how to command an army. He, like Harrison exposed his person too much. Oh, Mr. Speaker, what a pity for poor Napoleon that he had not sndied Steuben and slanghter ed water-melons with us natural born Generals of this great age of the world ! Sir It might have altered the map of Europe nay, changed the destinies of the world. Again : Alexander the great spurred his horse foremost into the river, and led his Mace donians across the Granicus to rout the Per sians, who stood full opposed on the other .side of the stream. True, this youth conquered the whole world, and made himself master of what constituted the Medean, Persian, Assyrian, and Chaldean empires. Still accoreing to ihe judg ment of ns warriors by nature, the mighty Ma cedonian might have consulted good sense by "coming over here, if, indeed, there were any here hereabouts, in those days and studying rai vvayne as one oi nis muiiary lan.ny.

In the fall ol 1811, Gen Harrison, with a small force, was sent into their territories, instructed to negotiate if possible, but to fight if necessary. On the 6th of No vember, he arrived at Tippecanoe, their princi pal town, where he was met by Indian messen gers, with whom an agreement was made, that hostilities should not take place before tho next day, and that then an amicable conference should be held. Just before daybreak, the savages, in viola tion of their engagement, made a sudden and furious attack upon the troops in their encamp ment. Nothing but the precaution of sleeping in order of battle, on their arms, saved them from total defeat. A dreadful slaughter was made ; but the savages were finally repulsed, dispersed, and their town laid waste" Whoever thought of branding General Harmar as a coward because he' was defeated in two suc cessive engagements, his army cut to pieces and dispersed 1 Who- charges Gen. St. Clair with stu pidity and cowardice because an army of 2000 men was almost totally destroyed and its remnant only saved from ruin by its retreat to the frontier settle ments?

Where are the men who now will brand Gen. Harrison. with ignorance, stupidity and cowardice for hav ing acted in conformity with his instructions, first to negotiate if possible, this injunction ho obeyed ; and secondiy to fight if necessary, he did fight, and' not only fought like a general but a hero and con quered, chastised the perfidy of his foe, by destroy ing their town, &c.

Not Bad. A bill concerning intermarriages between whites and blacks, being before the Massachussetts Legislature, one of the mem bers rose and delivered himself as follows : Mr. Speaker I shall vote in favor of this bill, simply because I do not wish to see a law on the statute book regulating a mere matter of , . f . j consi,ier t0 oe the whole oues tion of intermarriage betweeu persons of dif- fereat color.
