The Homage of Jnstioo.
We have compiled, from various sources, the fol
lowing disinterested testimonials, which were com
manded from their several authors hy the lofty pa
triotism, valor, talents and success of General Har
rist>n, long before he was named for the Presidency
and in times which eiicht to give them weight suf
ficient to hear down all the petty calumnies and
quibbling objections which party mahgmtymay now
presume 10 forge against the war-worn and time
honored pot riot, and soldier.
Tin- authorities we present against the attacks of
loco loco federalism, and which wo have stereotyp
ed as an impiegnable barricade against ail opposi
tion, arc no less than the Congress of ih“ United
States, the Legislatures of Indiana, rnd of Kentucky
James Madison, Jus. Monroe , Col. Richard M. John
son, Anthony Wayne, Lang don Chtues, Sinw < Sny
der, Gov. Shelby, Corn. Perry, Col. Croghan, Col.
Davis, and others, including in the illustrious cata
logue even Thomas Rit hie, Isaac Hill , John M.
Niles and Moses Dau'son !
Col. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
the Untied States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence, who
spent ihe greater part of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, of his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties of his
country.
“ Oft he career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
the history oflhe West, is his history. For forty
years he has been identified vvirh its interests, its
perils and its hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils of his country, lie had been yet more
illustriously chstingu’shed in the field.
“ During the late w ar, he w as longer in active ser
vice than any o'her General officer; he was, per
haps, oftener in action than any one ol 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 look
place on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
as well as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commander on on 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 ot Kentucky,
CFSo, 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
w hom 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 arms, transferred the
war thirther,and,iapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with then savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminated in the capture of
the British, and dispersion of tiie savage force.
“ This result is signally honorable to Major Gen
eral Harrison, by whose military talents it teas pre
pared."
The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, by eleven of the officers who
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
led at the battle of Tippecanoe, August 24, 1811:
“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 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 of Indiana, on ihc 12th Nov.
1811, the 8 peaker of the House of Repiesentatives,
Gen. Win. Johnston, thus addressed jieneral Harri
son.
“Sir—The House cf Representatives of the In
diana territory, in their own name, and in behalf of
their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the
congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet, and the tribes ot Indians confederated
with him; when wo see displayed in behalf ot
our country, not 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, withhold oik meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved, By the Senate and House ot Kepre
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 Wayne, in his Letter to the Secre
tary of War, giving an official account of his san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said :
C “My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered the most essential service, by coramunica
my orders in every direction, and bv his con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
victory.”
Resolution directing the madals struck, and,!to he
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 tlie 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
ficers and men under their command, for 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 oi 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. Clay,
Speaker of the House o Representatives.
John Gaillard,
President of the Senate, pro tempore,
April 4, 1818.—Approved,
James Monroe.
Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says :
“ ] 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 M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813, says:
« We did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [ Harrison] who hadproved him
self to be wise, prudent and brave."
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817, says:
“ The prompt change made hy you in the order of
battle on discovering the position oi the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. I COIIC ir with
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Laugdun Cheves, on the battle of the
Thames. .
“ The victory of Harrison, was such as would have
secured to a Roman General in the best days of the
Republic, the honors of a triumph ! lie put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada. ’
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan :
‘1 desire no plaudits which arc bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
“ I have Lit the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and rny confidence in him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. I feel every assurance I hat
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 their uniriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues (as in tny humble opinion be has liiiber
lo done) torn ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
his command will justify, I shall not hesitate to
unite with the army in bestowing upon him that
Icnnjulenre which he so richly merits, and which lias
on no occasion been withheld.”
The Richmond Enquirer said :
“Gen Harrison’s Jetier tells us everything that
wo wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He does justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore dojusticeto tlie man who
was too modest to be just to himself.”
From Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the
Thames :
“We have suffered greatly for the want of pro
visions, and the w hole army has subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”
£3* “ In all ages, and in all countries, it lias 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.
83“ “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 VVm. 11. Harrison.
“ General Harrison has done more for his coun
try, with less compensation for it, than any man
living. President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said:
“ What man In os, whose whole heart and sou! is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not fee!
a pride iti the valor and patriotism of the heroes of
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, be is a traitor to the country—he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his lile of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen Har
rison, said .
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, anil the subsequent
capture of the British army, may be 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 set ion. and the movements w hich preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidity cf Gen. Harrison; 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 of
such cool and steady intrepidity, on the part of
miiitia, or a three of this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Ariel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October. Hero they
were received with every demonstration of joy and
admiration ; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”

forty years he has been identified with its interests,
its perils, and its 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 ihe field. Daring the
late war, he was huger in actual service than any
other General Officer ; ho was, perhaps, Miner in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
Such is the man, who, still enjoying his untar
nished fame and glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy
can assail him, is now summoned hy his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of t lie nation, “and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !!
