The Homage of Jastico.
We have compiled, from various sources, the fol
lowing disinterested testimonials, which were com
manded from their several authors by the lofty pa
triotism, valor, talents and aocoess of (general Har
rison, long before he was named for the Presidency
and in times which ©tight to give them weight suf
ficient to bear down ali the petty calumnies and
a nibbling objections which party maligmtymay now
presume to forge against the war-worn and time
honored pot riot and soldier.
The authorities we present against the attacks of
loco foco federalism, and which we have stereotyp
ed as an impiegnable barricade against all opposi
tion, are no less thdfi the Congress of the United
States , the Legislatures of Indiana , and of Kentucky
James Madison, Jus. Monroe, Col. Richard M. John
son, Anthony Wayne, Langdon Cheves, Simon Siiy
der, (iov. Shelby, Com. Perry, CotCroghan, CoL
Davis, and others, including in the illustrious cata*
logue even Thomas Ritchie, Isaac Hill , John M.
Niles and Moses Dawson !
Col. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
the United States, said, (m Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison 7 The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence, who
spent the greater pan of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, of his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties ot his
country.
Os the career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
the history of the W esf, is his history, for forty
years he has been identified with its interests, its
perils and ns hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks ot peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils ol his country, he had been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field.
u ]j U ring the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than any other General officer; he was, per
haps, oltener in action than any one ot them, and
never sustained a defeat.’
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, 1811, said,
« While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost in the action which took
place on the 7th ulumo, Congress will see with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description oi troops engaged,
as well as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commandei on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline.
James Madison in his Message to Congress, No
vember, 181*2, said, . r .
“ An ample force from the States ot Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, under the command
of Brigadier General Harrison, who possesses the
entire confidence of his fellow soldiers, among
whom are citizens some of them volunteers in the
j*ranks, not less distinguished by their political sta
- ■ tions than by their personal merits.”
IjL !n Mr. Madison’s message of December 1313, the
■'compliment was extended, as follows :
“ The success on Lake Erie having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com
manding the Northwestern arms, transteired toe
war thirther,and,iapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminated in the capture of
the British, and dispersion of the savage lorce.
“ This®result is signally honorable to Major Gen
eral Harrison , by whose military talents it was pre
pared. ”
The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, bj eleven of the officers w ho
fought under his banner at the battle of Tippeca
noe .
“Should our country again require our service to
oppose a civilized or a savage foe, we should march
under General Harrison with the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

Extract of a letter from Col. Davis, who was kil

“ I make free to declare, that 1 have imagined
there were two military men in the West, and Gen.
Harrison is the first ol the two ”
Message of Simon Snyder, Governor cf Penn
sylvania, December 10,1813
Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
thousands of w omen and children rescued from the
scalping knife ot the ruthless savage of the wilder
ness, and from the still more savage Proctor, rest on
Harrison and his gallant army.”
In the Legislature ol Indiana, on the 12th Nov.
1311, the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Gen. Wm. Johnston, thus addressed General Harri
s°n.
“ Sir—The House of Representatives of the In
diana territory, in their own name, and in behalt of
their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the
congratulations ot your Excellency on the glorious
result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet, and the tribes of Indians confederated
with him; when wo see displayed in behalf of
our country, not only the consummate abilities of
the general, but the heroism of the man ; and when
vve take into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, foi a
moment, withhold oik meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre
tativesof the State of Kentucky, in ihe late cam
paign against the Indians upon the Wabash, Gov.
William Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a
patriot and a general; and that for his cool, delib
erate, skilful and gallant conduct in the battle of
Tippecanoe, «he will deserve the warmest thanks
of his country and his nation
Gen. Anthony Wat ne, in his Letter to the Secre
tary of War, giving an official account of his san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1/92, said :
e “My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered ihe most essential service, by communica
tin* my orders in every direction, and by his con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
victory.”
Resolution directing the madals 'struck, nnd,Jto be
together with the thanks of Congress, presented

and for other purposes.
Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre

Speaker of the House of Representatives.
John Gaillard,
President of the Senate, pro tempore.
April 4, ISlß.—Approved,
James Monroe.
Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says :
“ i let! no hesitation to declare to you that 1 be
lieve Gen Harrison to be one oj the first military
characters I ever kneit).'' I
Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4. 1813,says: .
“ We did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ghat under one [ Harrison ] who had proved him
self to be wise, prudent and brave."
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817,says: f
“ The prompt change made by you in the order ot
battle oridiscovering the position of the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. 1 COOC IF WU 1
ilia venerable Shelby in his general approbation ol
yuur conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle ol lae
Thumis.
“ The victory of Harrison, was such as woti-d have
stewtd to a Raman General in the best days oj the
Republic, the honors of a triumph ! He put an end
to the \\ ar in the Uppermost Canada.
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, CoL
Croghan:
‘*l desire no plaudits w hich arc bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.,
“ 1 have kit the warmest attachment for him as a
mati, and my confidence in him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. 1 fee) every assurance that
he will at all times do me justice; and nothing
-con’d give me more pain than to gee Ins
seize upon tins occasion to deal out their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as lie
continues (as in my humble opinion he h-s tm ner
lo done) to make the wisest arrangements and t ie
most judicious disposition, w inch the forces under
his command will justify, 1 shall Ilot hesila.e m
unite with the army in bestowing upon Into tna
1 confidence which he so richly merits, and which has
on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said : i
“Gen Harrison’s letter tells us everything that i
we wish to know about the officers, except himself
He does justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore do justice to the man who
was too modest to be just to himself.”
From Gen. Harrison’s report of ths battle of the
Thames :
“We have suffered greatly for the w r ant of pro
visions,and the whole array has subsisfei, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”
“ In ali ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those
who are the least willing to part with their rights,
and submit themselves to the will ot a master.
Wm. H Harrison.
&Cr“THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
May they ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting. , Wm. H. Harrison.
“ General Harrison has done more lor his coun
try with less compensation for it, than any man
living.” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said:
“ What man In os, w hose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late i
victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not foe!
a pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes ol
the West, who have freed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahawk and scalping knife ! If there be such an
one, he is a traitor to the country—he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Bnren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his file of Perry published in
1321, after giving a general biography of Gen Har
rison, *aid :
“ The defence of Fort .Meigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British army, may he fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events of the
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said ;
“If must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, and upon the
troops by whom it was achieved.
“ The action, and the movements which preceded
it, aifo/ded ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidity of Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
aclisiics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances ol
such cool and sleady intrepedily, on the part of
militia, or a force ot this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
“ -.Tisonand Perry left Detroit in the Ariel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October. Here they
were received with every uemonstration of joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of lhe
frontiers.”

in the councils of his country,he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field- During the
late war, tie was linger in actual service than any
other General Officer ; he was, perhaps, ©finer in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
Such is the man, who, still enjoying his untar
nished lame and glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy
can assail him, is now summoned ny his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of the nation, “and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer 11
