Kentucky Gazette

GENERAL HARRISON.

The following article from the Union is copied into the Gazette, to shew there was some foundation for the report which circulated so rapidly throughout the western country, that General Harrison had resigned, or had sent the Secretary of War a conditional resignation.

It is worthy of remark, that the same kind of information as that to which the Union alludes, had authorised the belief of Gen. Harrison's resignation at Lexington and other places in this state.

"We noticed some time since that a letter received in this place from Cincinnati, stated that General Harrison had resigned. From the official standing of the gentleman who wrote that letter, and from his opportunity of being correctly informed on the subject, we were forced to attach credit to the assertion, which we now find was a mistake. A letter received by last mail from a gentleman in that place to the editor, says Gen. Harrison had not resigned, nor is there any probability of his resigning."

The above article has been in type for some weeks past. It is now inserted to place the public on their guard respecting a similar report which has just been put afloat. The public cannot easily be brought to believe that general Harrison will resign the important station his countrymen have honored him with—after his declaration, that such was his attachment to the cause in which the country is engaged, that he would serve her could he but get a single company to lead.
