The Homage ol Justice.
We have compiled, from various sources, the fol
lowing disinterested testimonials, winch were com
,nanded from their several authors by the lofty pa
triotism, valor, talents and success ot Ueneral tlar
rison, long before he was named for the Presidency
<ss nnd in times which ought to give them weight su -
ficient to hear down all the petty calumnies and
quibbling objections which party mahgmtyraay now
presume to tbrge against the war-worn and limc
honored notriot and soldier.
The authorities we present against the attacks ot
loco foco federalism, and which we havestereotyp
ctl as an impregnable barricade against all opposi
tion, are no less than the Congress of the United
States, the Legislatures of Indiana, and ot Rent ur hi/

Col. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
the United States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? 1 lie son ot 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 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
Se councils of his country, he had been yet more
ustriously 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 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 7lh ultimo, Congress will see with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description oftroops engaged,
as well as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commandei on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions oj valor and discipline."
James Madison in his Message to Congress, No
vember, 1812, said,
“ An ample force from the States of 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.”
la 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
raiding the Northwestern arms, 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 sa\age force.
“ This result is signally honorable to Major Gin
eral Harrison, by whose military talents it was pre
pared. ”
The follow ing tribute of praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, by 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 of 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 children rescued from the
scalping knife ot ilie 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 Speaker 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 m 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 of Indians confederated
with him; when we see displayed in behalf ot
our country, not only the consummate abilities of
the general, but the heroism of the man ; and when
we fake into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, for a
moment, withhold oiif meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
« Resolved , By the Senate and House ot 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 Wayne, in his Letter to the Secre
taryeof War, giving an official account of his san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said :
“My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered ihe 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,|to be
together with the thanks of Congress, presented
to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby,
and for oilier purposes.
Resolvedj 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
ficers and men under their command, for their gal
lantry and good conduct in defeating the combined
British and tndian forces under Major General Proc
tor, on the Thames, in Upper Canada, on the fifth
day of October, one ihousand eight hundred and
thirteen, capturing the British army, w ;th 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. Cr.AY,
Speaker of the House o Representatives.
John Gaillard,
President ol the Seriate, pro tempore,
April 4, 1818.—Approved,
James Monroe.
Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says :
“ 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 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 he wise, pi udenl and brave."
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817, says:
“ The prompt change made by you in the order of
battle on discovering the position of the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a Hit;it
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. I COUC IT wil'l
the venerable Shelby iu his general approbation of
your conduct m that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle of the
® Jl'hames.
“ The victory of Harrison, was such as would have
secured to a Homan General in the best days of the
Republic, the honors of a triumph I He put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada."
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan:
‘•1 desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
“ 1 have felt the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. I feel every assurance that
he will at ail limes do me justice ; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon iiiis occasion to deal out their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues (as in my humble opinion he has hiiher
to done/ turn ake the w isest 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 nun that
sonJulence whirl, he so ncJJy merits, and which lias
on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said:
“Gen ILv-nsun's letter tells us everything that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He does justice to every one but Harrison—and
the world must therefore dojusticelo the man w ho
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 whole army has subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw Rf.ef without salt.”
iO~ “ In all ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators ofthe soil are those
who are the least willing to part with their rights,
and submit themselves to the will of a master.”
Wm. II Harrison.
JKr“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 Am. H. 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 cs, whose w hole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the lute
victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not feel
a pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes of
the West, who have treed 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 Buren candid He for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his Lite of Perry published iu
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen Har
rison, said :
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British array,may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events ol the
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of 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 of Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these cliar
actistics ; the disasters a;tending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances ot
such cool and steady intrepedity, on the part of
militia, or a force of this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit iu the Ariel, 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 (lie
frontiers.’’

negotiated a treaty at Detroit.
In 1316, he was elected a member of Congress.

“Os the career of Gen. Harrison, I 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 w alks 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 linger in actual service than any
other General Officer ; he was, perhaps, oftner m
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 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 be her deliverer ! 1
