triotism, valor, talents and success of General Har
rison, long belore he was named lor ihe Presidency
•and in times which eucht to g.ve them weight suf
ficient to bear down all ihe petty calumnies and
quibbling objections w hich party raalignitymay now
presume to forge against the war-worn and time
honored potriot and soldier.
The authorities we present against the attacks of
loco foco federalism, and which we havestereptyp*
ed as an impiegnahte barricade against a!! opposi
tion, are no less than the Congress of the. United
States, the Legislatures of Indiana, - rid of Kentucky

Davis , and others, including in the illustrious cata*
logu3 even Thomas Ritchie , Isaac Hillj John Jf.

Col. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
the United States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of In lependence, 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 liberties of his
country.
“ Os the career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
the history ofthe VV esf, is his history. lor forty
vears he has been identified with its in.erests, its
perils and ns hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks 01 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, oftener in action than any one ot them, and
never sustained a defeat.”
James Mad son, in a special message to Congress
December IS, 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 wiih 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 commandei on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline.
Janies Madison in bis Message to Congress, No
vember, IS 12, said,
“ 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
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
niMkiiag the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war ttnrl her, and, tapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with thei: 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 following tribute of praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, b} 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 pcrtect 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 ot the two ”
Message of Simon Snyder, Governor of Penn
sylvania, Decemb'-r 10, 1813
“ Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
thousands of women and . hddren 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 ihe 12lhNov.
1811, the hptaker ot the House of Representatives,
Gen. Win. Johnston, thus addressed general Harri
son.
“ Sir—The House of Representatives of he In
diana territory, in their own name, and in oehalt 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 of Indians confederated
with him; when we see displayed in behalf of
our country, not only the consummate abilities of
the general, but the heroism of the man ; and w hen
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 8c naie and House ol Repre
tatives of the State ol Kentucky, in i lie 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 :
“My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered the most essential service, by commuiuca
line my orders in every direction, and by hit, con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
victory.”
Resolution directing the madals struck, and,Jto he
together with the thanks ol 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 Slates 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
ficers and men under their command, for iheir 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 filth
day of October, one thousand eight hundred and
thirteen,Capturing the British army, with their hag
age, camp equippage, and artillery ; and that the
President of the United States be requested to cause
two gold medals to he struck, emblematic of this
triumph, and be presented to General Harrison and
Isaac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky.
H. Cr.AY,
Speaker of the House o Representatives.
John Gaillard,
President of the Senate, pro tempore.
April 4, 1818. —Approved,
James Monrok.
•Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1314,
says :
“ 1 leel no hesitation to declare to you that 1 be
heve Gen Harrison to he one of the first military
characters I ever knew. 1
Col. Richard M. Johnson lo Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813, says:
“ lie did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; hat under one [ Harrison ] who had proved him
self to be wise, p indent and brave. "
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817,says: . . , f
“ The prompt change mace by you in the order ol
baltleon discovering the position of the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. I COMC IT Wil’l
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle of the
Thames.
u The victory of Harrison, was such as would have
secured to a Roman General in the best days of the
Republic, the honors oj a triumph ! He put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada.''
Sentiments of the Hero of Furl Stephenson, Col.
Croghan :
*• J desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
“ 1 have lilt the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as an abieconiman
der remains unshaken. Ifeel every assurance that
he will at ail times do me justice ; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon thus occasion to deal out their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues (as in my humble opinion he has fniher
lo done) tom 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
confidence which he so richly merits, and which bat
on no occasion ber-n withheld.”
The Richmond Enquirer said ;
‘•Gen Harrison’s letter tells us everything thal
we wish to know about the officers, except himself
He does justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore dojusticeto the man who
I* was too modest to be Just to himself.
?rom Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of tht
Thames :
“We have suffered greatly for the want of pro
j- visions, and the whole army has subsisted, forthr
last three days, on raw beef without salt.’
iKp “ In all ages, and in all countries, it has beer
| observed, that the cultivators ofthe soil are t host
' who are the least w illing to part with their rights
and submit themselves to the will of a master.”
Wm. H Harrison.
“THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
May they ever remember that to preserve then
liberties, they must do their own voting and theii
own fighting Wm. H. Harrison.
f “ General Harrison has done more for his coun
try, with less compensation lor it, than any mar
, living.” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
. “ What man li\ cs, whose whole heart and soul is
j 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 the heroes ol
the West, who have freed a country large as the
i Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
■ tomahawk and scalping knife ! If there be such an
one, he is a traitor lo the country —he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
Joint M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his life of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen Har
rison, said .
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, and 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 action, and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony ot the judgement and
cool intrepidity cf Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actisiics ; 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 intrepedity, on the part ol
militia, or a force ol 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 Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy anti
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”
An Eloquent Record!.

Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke
in the House ot Representatives whilst a member
of that body :
“Ol the career of lien. Harrison, 1 need not
speak—the history of the west is his history. For
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 the field. During the
late war, he was Unger in actual service than any
other General Officer ; he 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 lame and glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence where neither malice or envj
can assail him, is now summoned ny his gratetu
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private lift
to guide the councils of ihe nation, “and deliyei
the country from the dangers which encompass it.’
He will be her deliverer I!
