Horner did much to allay the hostile feeling then existing between the people of the Territory and of the State of Ohio, in reference to the boundary question ; the following extract from the Wheeling Gazette of Feb. 27, 1836, is worthy of reproduction in this relation : " On arriving within the Territory. in the prosecution of his duties, Gov. Horner's address, as we learn from eye-witnesses, was consummate ; it was a combination of personal fearlessness, tact, wisdom and prudence ;" in the same article-after allud- ing to the troubles which existed in the Territory at the time Gov. Horner assumed his duties as Exec- utive, mention being made of the gallant bearing of the pacificator, throwing himself among the turbulent and lawless spirits along the frontier of the disputed Territory, at the hazard of his life, and by his fearless bravery restoring perfect order-the editor, who was opposed to the Jackson Administration, says : " We ces ion whether, when his appointment shall have expired by the recognition of Michigan as a State, the National Executive can, by any office he may confer upon him, more than compensate him." When the Territory of Wisconsin was created. he was appointed its Secretary, and received orders from President Jackson to take up his quarters near the Mississippi River, in order to meet the apprehended difficulty between the Winnebago Indians and the settlers in the mineral regions of Wisconsin ; on arriving, he learned that that tribe were besieging Fort Winnebago ; taking with him a single guide, he made a perilous journey of eighty miles to Fort Crawford, called upon Gen. Taylor for a force of 120 men, and with thetu proceeded to the relief of Fort Winnebago; arriving there, he demanded a council with the Indians, and received a reply that they were " falling to pieces" from starvation, owing to the nonpayment of the annuities due from the United States; upon learning this, Grov. Horner promptly took the respon- sibility of issuing an order to deliver to the starving Indians one-half the pork and flour in the military stores at the fort; this action prevented an Indian war, and was highly approved by Gen. Jackson, and Congress passed an act granting $1,000 to Gov. Horner, as a recognition of his services ; as Secretary of the Territory of Wisconsin, his career was distinguished by ability and integrity ; after his retirement from this office, he was appointed by Gen. Jackson Register of the Green Bay Land Office, and by
