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 ns hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks oi 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 olHcer; he was, per
haps, oltener in action than any one ut 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 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 commandei on an occasion requiring the nt .
most exertions of valor and discipline .”
James Madison in Ids Message to Congress, No
veraber, 1812, said,
« An ample force from the Slates 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
w hom are citizens some of them volunteers in the
ranks, not less distinguished by their political sta
tions than by their personal merits.”
, ly Mr. Madi son’s message of December 1813, the
compliment was extended, as follows :
“ The success on Lake Erie having opened a pas
sage to tlie territory of the enemy, the officer cont
ra aiding the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thirl her, and, lapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
actioif, w hich quickly terminated 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 181 J, by eleven of the officers who
fought under his banner at the battle of Tippeca
noe .
“Should our country again require our service to
a civilized or a savage foe, we should march
under General Harrison wiih the most perfect confl
uence of victory and fame.”

there were two military men in the West, and Gen.
Harrison is the first ol ihe two ”
Message of Simon Snyder, Governor cf Penn
sylvania, December 10,1813
“ Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled w ith laurels, and llie blessings of
thousands of women and • hildren rescued from the
scalping knife of 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 5 peaker of the House of Representatives,
Gen. Wm. Johnston, thus addressed General Harri
son. •
“ Sir—The House cf Representatives ot 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
residt ofthe 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 ol
the general, but the heroism of the man ; and w hen
vve take into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we canuof, lor a
moment, withhold oik meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1312.
Resolved, By the Semite and House ol Repre
tatives of the State of Kentucky, in the late cam
paign against tiie Indians upon the Wabasn, 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, inhis Letler to the Secre
tary of War, giving an official account of h.s san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said :
“My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered ihe most essential service, by coramunica
ting my orders in every direction, and by his con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press lor
victory.”
Resolution directing the raadals struck, and,*to be
together with the thanks of Congress, presented
to Major General Harrison, and Guv. Shelby,
and for mjier purposes.
Rtschea, By the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of ihe United States of America in Con
gress assembled, That the thanks of Congress
fie, and they are herehv, presented to Major Gen
eral William Henry Harrisor, and Isaac Bhelhy,
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 ihe Thames, in Upper Canada, on the fifth
day of October, one thousand eight hundred and
thirteen, capturing the British army, w ith 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 Karri; on and
fJltac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky.
H. (-’lay,
Speaker of the House o Representatives.
John Gaillard,
President oi the Senate, pro tempore.
April 4, 1818.—Approved,
James Monroe.
Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 13, 1814,
says :
“ 1 (eel no hesitation to declare to you that I be
lieve Gen. Harrison to be one of the first military
characters 1 ever knew."
Col. Richard 31. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813,says:
“ We did not want to serve under cowariis 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 of
battleon discovering the position ot the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
degree of military talent. 1 cone ir with
the venerable Shelby in Ins general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Laugdon 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 ! Me put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada .”
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan :
i desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
“ I have hit tlie warmest attachment for him as a
man, and ray confidence in him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. I feel every assurance that
he will at all times do me justice; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see ins enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues (as in my humble opinion lie has hither
to done) torn ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
his command wall justify, 1 shall not hesitate to
unite with the army m Dcstowmg upon mm mat
1 confidence which he so richly merits, and which has I
j on no occasion been withheld. I
The Richmond Enquirer said : I
“G en Harrison’s letter tells us every thing that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He does justice to every one but Harrison— and
the world must therefore dojusttce to 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 greatly for the want of pro
visions, and the whole army has subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”
{Kr “ 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 ot a master.”
Wm.H 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 vVm. 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 li\ cs, 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 the heroes of
the West, who have freed a country large as ihe
Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahawk and scalping knife 1 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 Bttren candidate for Goy.
in Connecticut, in his lile 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 be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events oi 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 teas 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 char
aciistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances ol
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 in the Ariel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October. Here they
were received with every demonstration ol joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”

forty years he has been identified w ith its interests,
its perils, and ns hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks of peace, and distinguished hy his ability
in (he councils of his country,he lias been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
late war. ite was linger in actual service than any
other General Officer; lie 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 I lie nation, “ and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
