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. ” JOEL COOK, R. B. BURTON, NATHAN A. HAWKINS, H. BURCHSTEAD, HOSEA BLOOD, JOSIA SNEELING, O. G. • BURTON, C. FULLER, G GOODING, J. D. FOSTER. 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 tenant : and in 1793, joined the legion under Gen. Wayne, and in a lew days thereafter, was selected by him as one of la is Aids. On Ihe 24th of August, 1794, he distinguished 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. In 1801, he was appointed Governor of Indiana, and in the same year, President Jefferson appointed him sole Commissioner for treating with the In dians. In 1809, he was re-appuinted Governor of Indi ana by Madison. On the7ih November, 1811, he gained the great victory of TIPPECANOE On the 11th September, 1812, he was appointed by 31adison, Commaiider-iu-Chief of the North western army. On the Ist May, 1813, the seige ol Fort .Meigs commenced—lasted five days, and was terminated by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gea. Har rison. On the 3!st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste phenson occurred. On the sth October, 1813, he gamed the splendid victory of theTHA.MES, over the British and In dians under Proctor. In 1814, he was appointed by Madison one ol the Commissioners to reat with the Indians, and in the same year, with his colleagno-i Gov. Shelhy and Gen. Cass, concluded the celebrated treaty of Greenville. In 1815, he was again appointed such Commis sioner, with Gen. 31c Arthur and Mr. Graham, and negotiated a treaty at Detroit. In 1816, he was elected a member of Congress. In January, 1818, he introduced a resolution in honor of Kosciusko, and supported it in one of the j most feeling, classical and eloquent speeches ever delivered in the House of Representatives. In 1819, he was elected a member of the Ohio Senate, In 1824, he was elected Senator in Congress, and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of the Mili tary Committee, in place of Gen. Jackson, who had resigned In 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia, and, in 1829, wrote his immortal letter to Bolivar the deliverer of South America. 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 !!
