Synopsis
Excerpt from Remarks of the Hon. Peleg Sprague at Faneuil Hall: Before the Citizens of Boston and Its Vicinity, Upon the Character and Services of Gen. William Henry Harrison, of Ohio, the Whig Candidate for the Presidency of the United States
He was followed by mr. Burnell, of Nantucket, one of the Delegates at large. Mr. B. Said he had been one Ofthe firm supporters of the claims of Gene ral Harrison not on account of the man - not in behalf of the individual, but for the sake of his country. The Whigs must now be true to themselves. They had a candidate whose character, like the diamond from the mine, would only shine the more brilliantly the more it was handled. He proceeded in a most eloquent and convincing manner to set forth General Harrison's high individual claims upon our gratitude and veneration, and stated that, as he had heard another individual say, the only reason why General Harrison had not been regarded great was that he was so good. He would, in conclusion, invoke the aid of Heaven in behalf of our cause - the cause of the people.
