Страница 61 - Sir — I have just received yours of yesterday, 10 o'clock, PM, ordering me to destroy this place and make good my retreat, which was received too late to be carried into execution. We have determined to maintain this place, and by heavens, we can.
Страница 68 - You always told us that you would never draw your foot off British ground, but now, father, we see you are drawing back, and we are sorry to see our father doing so without seeing the enemy. We must compare our father's conduct to a fat dog that carries its tail upon its back, but when affrighted, it drops it between its legs and runs off.
Страница 67 - We have met the enemy and they are ours; two ships, two brigs, one schooner and one sloop.

Страница 36 - Resolved, That in the late campaign against the Indians on the Wabash, Governor WH Harrison has, in the opinion of this legislature, behaved like a hero, a patriot, and a general; and that, for his cool, deliberate, skilful, and gallant conduct in the late battle of Tippecanoe, he deserves the warmest thanks of the nation.
Страница 37 - Prophet and the tribes of Indians confederated with him. When we see displayed in behalf of our country, not only the consummate abilities of the general, but the heroism of the man, and when we take into view the benefits which must result to that country, from those exertions, we can not for a moment withhold our meed of applause.
Страница 92 - States, but of the world at large, demanded, or would demand, the multiplication of such means of communication between separated continents, I was desirous that the proposed connection should be made; but certain provisions of this...
