The Homage of Justice.
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 success of General Har
rison, long before he w as named for Ihe Presidency
and in times which ought to give them weight suf
ficient to bear down ail ihe petty calumnies and
quibbling objections which party malignitymay now
presume 10 torge against ihe war-worn and lime
honored potnot ami soldier.
The authorities we present against the attacks of
loco foco federalism, and which we have stereotyp
ed as an impregnable barricade against all opposi
tion, are no less than the Congress of the. United
States, the Legislatures of Indiana, ; mi of Kentucky
James Madison, Jus. Monroe , Col. Richard M. John
son, Anthony Wayne, Langdon Cktvcs, Sirnoi Sny
der, Gov. Shelby, Com. Pern;, Col Croghan , Col.
Davis, and others, including in the illustrious cata
logue even Thomas Ritchie, Isaac Hill , John JM.
Niles and Moses Dawson !
Col. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
United States, said, (m Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of In lependenee, who
spent the greater part of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, of his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure the libertier of his
country.
“ Os the career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
the history of the West, is his history. lor forty
years he has been identified with its interests, its
perils and ns hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils of his country, he had been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than any o'her General officer; he was, per
haps, oltener in action than any one of 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 ultimo, Congress will see vviih sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude vietorious
« ly displayed by every description of iroops engaged,
as well as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commandet on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline."
James Madison in bis Message to Congress, No
vember, 1812, said,
“ An ample force from the Stales ol 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
ranks, not less distinguished by their political sta
tions than by their personal merits.”
In Mr. Madison’s message of December 1813, 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 arras, transferred the
war thirl her, and, lapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminal d in the capture of
the British, and dispersion of the savage force.
“ This result is signally honorable to Major Gen
eral Harrison, by whose military talents it was pre
pared."
The fallowing tribute of praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, bj eleven of the officers who
fought under his banner at the battle of Tippeca
noe;
“Should oiy 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
led at the hattleof Tippecanoe, August 24, 1311:
“ I make free to declare, that 1 have imagined
there were two military men in the West, and Gen.
Harrison is the first of 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 women and . hildren 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 of Indiana, on the 12th Nov.
1811, the 8 pcaker of the House of Representatives,
Gen. Win. Johnston, thus addressed general Harri
son.
“ Sir—The House of Representatives of the In
diana territory, in their own name, and in behalf of
their constituents, most cordially reciprocate ihe
congratulations of 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 we see displayed in behalf of
our country, no' only the consummate abilities of
the general, but the heroism of the man ; and when
we take into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, for a
moment, w ithhold our meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre
tatives of the State of Kentucky, in the 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 Wa\ ne, in his Letter to the Secre
tary of War, giving an official account of his san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said
“My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered the most essential service, by communica
ting my orders in every direction, and by his con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
victory.”
Resolution directing the madals 'struck, and,Jto be
together with the thanks of Congress, presented
to .Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby,
and for other purposes.
Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the United States of America in Con
gress assembled, That the thanks of Congress
be, and they are hereby, presented to Major Gen
eral William Henry Harrisor, and Isaac Shelby,
late Gov. of Kentucky, and through them, to the of
fleers and men under their command, lor their gal
lantry and good conduct in defeating the combined
British and Indian forces under Major General Proc
tor, on the Thames, in Upper Canada, on the fifth
day of October, one thousand eight hundred and
thirteen, capturing the British army, with their bag
age, camp equippage, and artillery ; and that the
President of the United States be requested to cause
two gold medals to be struck, emblematic of this
triumph, and be presented to General Harrison and
Isaac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky.
H. CI.AY,
Speaker of the House o Representatives.
John Gaillard,
President ol the Senate, pro tempore.
April 4, 1818. —Approved,
James Monroe.
Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
savs :
“ 1 leel no hesitation to declare to you that I be
lieve Gen Harrison to be one of the first military
characters I ever knew."
Col. Richard 31. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813,says:
“ We did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [ Harrison ] who had proved him
self to be wise, prudent and brave"
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817, says :
“ The prompt change made by you in the order ol
battle on discovering [lie position of the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. 1 COUC IT with
the venerable Shelhy in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle of the
Thames.
“ The victory of Harrison, teas such as would have
secured to a Raman General in the best days of the
Republic , the honors of a triumph ! He put an tnd
to the War in the Uppermost Canada."
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan ;
*• j desire no plaudits w-hieh are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
“ I have ftlt the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence tn him as an able comman
der remums unshaken. 1 feel every assurance that
he will at all times do me justice; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out lheir unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues (as m my humble opinion he has hiiher
lo doneK »m ake the wisest arrangements and the
« must judicious disposition, which the forces under
his command will Justify, 1 shall not hesitate to
unite with the army in bestowing upon him that
&
conjtdenre which he so richly merits, and which has
on no occasion been withheld.”
The Richmond Enquirer said :
‘■G en Harrison’s letter tells us every thing that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself
He does justice toe%’ery one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore dojusticeto the man who
was too modest to be just to himself.”
From Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the
Thames :
“We have suffered great!}’ for the want of pro
visions, and the whole army has subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”
In all 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 of a master.”
Wm. H Harrison.
30“ “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 for his coun
try, w ith less compensation tor it, than any man
living.” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, 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
victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not feel
a pride in the valor and patriotism of Ihe heroes of
the West, who have treed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from tlie 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 31. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his lite of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen Har
rison, said :
“The defence of Fort 3leigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British army, may he fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events ol the
late war.”
In alluding to the hattleof the Thames, he said :
“It 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, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidity ol Gen. Ha rison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“There are perhaps on record few instances ot
such cool and steady intrepidity, on the part of
militia, or a force of this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Anel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October. Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of ihe
frontiers.”
An Eloquent Record.
William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on
the9ih of February, 1773.
In 1791, when 19 years of age, he was appointed
by Washington an Ensign in our infant army.
In 1792, he was promoted to the rank of l ieu

himselt in the battle ol the 31iami. and elicited the
most flattering written approbation of Gen Wayne.
In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed
in command of Fort Washington.
In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams,
Secretary of the North-western Territory and cx
officio Lt. Governor.
~ In 1793, he was chosen a delegate to Congre.-s.

negotiated a treaty at Detroit.
In 1816, he was elected a member of Congress.
In January, 1818, he introduced a resolution in

Senate,

and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of the Mili

and, in 1829, wrote his immortal letter to Bolivar

Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke
in the House of Representatives whilst a member
of that body :
“Os the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not
speak—the hislory of the west is his history For
forty years he has been identified with its interests,
its penis, and Us hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks of peace,and distinguished by his ability
in the councils of his country, he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
late war, be was Unger in actual service than any
other General Officer ; he was, perhaps, whiter 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 by 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 re her deliverer !!

VALUABLE LANDS FOR SALE IN
GREENE COUNTY.
WE offer for sale one thousand eight hundred
acres of Land, lying in Greene county, on
Fishing creek, tour miles from the Mercer Univer
sity, and five from the Scull Shoals Factory. The
plantations are in good repair, and tne land well
adapted to the culture of cotton and corn, and grain
of all kinds ; and as to health, none more so in
Georgia—well watered —in fact it cannot be beat
for good water and a plenty of it. Should any per -
son wish such a settlement, they will of course
look for themselves—we therefore deem it unneces
sary to say any thing farther about it. We should
be pleased to sell soon, so as to enable us to make
our other arrangements.
