Gen Harrison At Home.

On the 30th of September, 1835, there was a Buck-Eve celebration at Cincinnati of the anniversary of the first naming of Fort Hamilton, where Cincinnati now stands. A number of eloquent addresses were made, among others, Gen'l Robert T. Lytle, a Jackson member of Congress, made a speech, from which we take the following extract in relation to Gen. Harrison, the Whig candidate for President.

"It is true, that that gentleman and myself are now as we have been for some time, opposed to each other in some of our views, perhaps in most, as to the public men and measures of the day; but were we as widely separated as the poles, I can neither be made to forget his virtues nor withhold from him just commendation for his many eminent services. Sir, I would be a traitor to my own nature, if I found myself capable of disparaging the claims of a public servant so eminent, so well tried, and whose life has been a history of such usefulness and gallantry, as that of General HARRISON. Rather than rob the temples of that time worn & justly honored public servant of a single laurel, I would choose in justice and gratitude to heap chaplets on his brow. "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's," is the injunction of Divine Wisdom -and in all cases where we depart from this principle, the degradation and evil are to be measured only by the extent of its infraction".
