JEFFERSON AND HARRISON
It has been denied by some of the Jacksonians that William Henry Harrison received office from Thomas Jefferson. Speakers and hearers on that subject are referred to the first volume of the Executive Journal of the United States Senate, page 441. where they will find it thus written: "I nominate William Henry Harrison to be Governor of the Indiana Territory, from the 13th day of May next, when his present commission as Governor will expire." Again-- "I nominate William Henry Harrison of Indiana, to be a commissioner to enter into any treaty, or treaties which may be necessary, with any Indian tribes, north-west of the Ohio, and within the territory of the United States, on the subject of the boundary, or lands."
[Signed] TH. JEFFERSON
The message containing those nominations was transmitted to the senate of the United States on the 3d day of February, 1803--read on the 4th, and on the 8th taken up for consideration, when the two nominations of William Henry Harrison, above recited, received the unanimous sanction of that honorable body.
More can be given.
