VINCENNES, November 4, 1826. DINNER TO GEN HARRISON On Friday, the 27th October, a large number of the citizens of Vinccnnes, desirous of evincing their high regard for the character, and gratitude for the public services of gen. WILLIAM II. HARRISON, gave him a public dinner at the hotel ol Mr. Kalhbonc among the guests, vas the hon. Jonathan Jennings, a representative in congress from the 2d district in this state. The hon Isaac lilackford, presided, assisted by judge Ruble, as "vice-president the following toasts were drank on the occasion. 1. The Constitution of the U. States. 2. Our Country, right or wrong. 3. The President, and heads of Departments. 4 The memory of Washington u Tho no imperial mausoleum rise, To point the stranger where the hero lies, He sleeps in glory." 5 i'nc Hights of Man. 6 J fferson and Adams their virtues enshrined in the hearts of their couniiynun, afford monuments more impcrishab e th those of brass and marble. 7.

Hirrison in the stovcj umcnt of our Territory, and in the councils of our Country, he exhibited the talents of a statesman Tippecanoe and the Thames witnessed tho bravery of the soldier, & the genius of the commander. Gen. Harrison said, that he rose to offer his thanks to the company for the manner in which ho had been noticed in the last toast. He was well aware, however, that "any wo. ils which he could command, would but feebly express the feelings which he then experienced. The expression of such a sentiment, coming from any respectable number of American citizens, could not fail to give him great satisfaction. Hut the consideration of the relatioi :u which he had for a long time stood ' if'iy o" tho . cent company, gave i .' lilional value.

Before I resume. my seat (s.ud gen II.) nc; mit me to pay a just tui. ute of respect to the conduct of' the citizens ot this section ot the country . in the trying period of Indian hostility , j which occurred before the cWtatation of the last w ar. It is a tac t well known, that for filtecn months nrcviousto that event, these detached and sparely populated settlcments, were sun ouiuled by a superior Indian force, of whose determined hostility they had too many evidences to doubt, and with whom they had the daily expectation of being obliged to coiUend within their own domiciles, for their own, and the lues ol their wives and children : tinder these trying cii cumstanccs, and with a perfect knowledge that their only saicty cottsisttd in attacking and destto) ing the consiantly incieasiiig hoard of batuliili at Tippecanoe, they continued to respect the forms of their gov Ci nment, and wait tne arrival of the tardy consent, and scanty succours of the executive ol the Union.

It necessarily rcleislo time gone by, when I was connected with an official station, to which it alludes. 'Fate makes some men, and some men make their fate" It w as his fate, (said Mr. J ) to be placed in the office of governor of this state ; and he could assure his fellow citizens, that he entered upon the discharge ol its du ies, with an unqualified determination, to promote the best intei cts of the state, so far as he should find himself com p. cut. How far he may have succeeded in the. discharge of those duties, corresponding with his dctermi-

nation; time will determine ; though he might safely trust the decision at any period, so far as himself was concerned, under an expression from a source so res

pectable, and so very flattering in its char acter. Mr. J. then offered the following ' sentiment The Slate of Indiana one and undivided, in feeling, in action, and in interest. 10.

Reeves and Mather, with tl e remainder of the party, should return to our own borders.
