"Cincinnati, July 7, 1841.
The remains of Gen. Harrison arrived here last Monday, and will be taken to North Bend to-day, to be placed in the family vault—the last sad honors that a grateful people can pay. He is dead, yet he lives in the hearts of the People, a living memorial of all that is great and good. The place of his last repose is one of peculiar beauty, being on a mound or top of a hill, commanding an extensive view of the Ohio River for several miles above and below, and will be visited with interest by travelers in after generations. And when a towering monument is erected to his memory, the voyager will descry it in the distance, and exclaim, 'There rest the remains of the Father of the West—one of the kindest of mankind.' Mothers will point it out to their children, telling them that he who is there laid to rest endured the privations and hardships of the wilderness and of Indian warfare for their sakes, and teach them to bless the name of HARRISON.
