" Indeed his exposure in the field, was not the only danger he incur- red. If the Indians had met him in council as they at first contempla- ted, it was a part ot their plan to assassinate him ; and two Winneba- goes had undertaken the enterprise. When afterwards the Prophet concluded to attack the Americans, a negro was engaged to enter the camp and murder the Governor ; but he was detected in the attempt, whilst waiting near the Governor's marquee, and afterwards tried, con- victed of the pur...pose, and sentenced to be shot. But as the negro lay tied and staked to the ground awaiting the hour of execution, the Gov- ernor could not resist the emotions of pity which his appearance exci- ted, and ordered him to be discharged ; thus evincing the most com- passionate feelings in association with the highest resolution and courage. The victory of Tippecanoe was justly deemed of the greatest impor- tance to the country. If Harrison had been beaten, the triumphant bands of the Prophet, reinforced by other tribes recruited to his stan- n dard by the influence of Tecumthe, would have poured upon the settle- ments, tomahawk in hand, consigning the whole frontier to massacre and conflagration.
