Regardless of the memorable victories which this gallant and experienced offi- cer had won, and unmindful of the various and important services which he had rendered to his country, the Secretary of War saw fit to assign to him' the command of a district, where he would .
be compelled to remain inactive, while others were appointed to those more arduous duties, which he had heretofore fulfilled with so much honor to himself, and to the nation. As if still unsatis* fied with this egregious insul...t which he had offered to General Harrison, the Secretary of War, on the 25th of April, 1814, ap- pointed a subordinate officer to a separate command within his district, and notified him to that efiect. On the receipt of this no- tification, General Harrison instantly addressed a letter to the Se- cretary, tendering his resignation, with a notification thereof to the President. "As soon as Governor Shelby heard of the resigna- tion of General Harrison, he lost no time in addressing the Presi- dent in his usual forcible terms, to prevent his acceptance of it; but unfortunately for the public ii\terests, the President was then on a visit to Virginia, to which place the letters from General Harrison and Governor Shelby were forwarded, and that of the latter was not received until after Secretary Armstrong, unthotU the previous consent of the President^ had assumed to himself the high prerogative of accepting the resignation* The President expressed his great regret that the letter of Gov» Shelby had not been received earlier, as in that case the valuable services of Gen- eral Harrison would have been preserved, to the nation in the en- suing campaign," — (Dawson,) In this resignation, General Harrison evinced the true patriot- ism and disinterestedness which have always marked his con- duct.
