The Homage of Justice. We have compiled, from various sources, the fol lowine disinterested testimonials, which were com manded from their several authors by the lofty pa triotism, valor, talents and success of Generall Har rison, long before he was named for the Presidency and in times which ought to give them weight su - ficient to bear down all the petty calumnies and quibbling objections which party malign itymay now presume Io forge against ihe war-worn and time honored potriot and soldier. f ZThe authorises we present against the attacks 01 loco foco federalism, and which we have stereotyp ed as an impregnable barricade ag insl all opposi tion, are no less than the Congress oj the United States, the Legislatures of Indiana, and of - y James Madison, Jos. Monroe, Col Richard M. John. z: SaSaW SfiS tip:*™ 'A •«-' "■ S .fWolmson, now Vice President of the United States, said, (in Congress)- Who is Gen. Harrison ? Ihe son of one of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, 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 1 need not speak - the history ofthe West, is his history. For forty vears he has been identified with its interests, its perils and its hopes. Universally beloved in the walks ol peace, and distinguished by Ins ability in the councils of his country, he had besn 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 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 -4 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 ut most exertions of valor and discipline .” James Madison in his Message to Congress, No vember, 1812,said, “ An ample force from the States 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 maiding the Northwestern arms, transferred the war thirlhcr,and,iapidly pursuing the hostile troops fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general action, which 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 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 perfect confi dence of victory and fame.” JOEL COOK, R. B. BURTON, NATHAN ADAMS, 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 ledsatthe battle of Tippecanoe, August 24, IS 11: “ I make free to declare, that 1 have imagined there were two military men in the West, and Gen. Harrison is the first of ihe 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 children 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 8 peaker of the House of Representatives, Gen. Wm Johnston, thus addressed General Harri son “ Sir—The House <4 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 ihe 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, noi only the consummate abilities of the general, but the heroism of the man ; and when we take into view the benefits which m ist result to that country from those exertions, *ve cannot, for a moment, w ithhold on * meed of applause.” Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812. “ Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre tativesoflhe State of Kentucky, in the late cam paign against the Indians upon the W abash, 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 wan test thanks of his country and his nation Gen. Anthony Wa\ne, in bis 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 commanica 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, andjlo be together with the thanks of Congress, presented to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby, and for mjier purposes. Resolved, “By the Senate and Hous? 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 Henri - 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 ■ator, 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 Slates 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 of the Senate, 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 he one of the first military characters I ever knew.” Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, Jalv 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 9 18, 1817,says: “ The prompt change made by you in the order of battle on discovering the position of the enemy, lias always appeared to me to have evinced a high DEGREE OK MILITARY TALENT. 1 Cone It With the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of your conduct in that campaign.” Honorable Laugdon Cheves, on (he battle of the Thames. “ The victory of Harrison, was such os would have secured to a Roman General in the best days of the public, the honors of a triumph ! He put an end to the \Varin the Uppermost Canada.” Crogha™ entS ° f the Uero ol Furt Stephenson, Col. ‘•1 desire no p! and its which are bestowed upon me at the expense of General Harrison “ 1 ha T e Ull the . attachment for him as a man, and ray confidence in him us an able comman der remains unshaken. 1 feel every assurance that he wili at all times do me justice ; and nothing could give me more pain than to see his em-muS ® seize upon ibis occasion f deal out their unfriendly feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he continues (as in my humble opinion he has hither to 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 tne army in oestowing upon nim that conjtdenre which hesb richly merits , and which has on no occasion been withheld. The Richmond Enquirer said : tig gjj Harrison’s letter tells us every thing that WP wish to know about the officers, except himself. He does justice to every one but Harrison- and the world must therefore do justice 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 array has subsisted, for the last three days, on raw beef without salt.” Dir “ 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. Dir “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. m. 11. Harrison. “ General Harrison has done more for his coun try, with less compensation for it, than any man l lv i,„T.” President Madison. Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23,1813, in the New Hampshire Patriot said : “ What man liv cs, whose 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 the Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian tomahawk and gulping 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 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 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 ; “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 char actislics ; 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 intrepidity, on the part of militia, or a force of this description, us was display ed on this occasion. “ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the xAnel, 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 the frontiers.” An Eloquent Record. William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on the 9th 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 Lieu tenant: and in 1793, joined the legion under Gen. Wayne, and in a lew days thereat ter, was selected by him as one of his Aids. On the 24th of August, 1794, he distinguished himself in the battle of the Miami, and elicited the most flattering writlen 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 ex officio Lt. Governor “la 1798, he was chosen a delegate to Congress. In 1801, he was appointed Governor of Indiana, and in the same year, President Jeffer.on appointed him sole Commissioner for trealing with the In dians? In 1809, he was re-appointed Governor of Indi ana by Madison. On the 7th November, 1811, he gained the great victory of TIPPECANOE On the 11th September, 1812, he was appointed by xMadison, Commander-in-Chief of the North western army. On the Isl May, 1813, the seige of Fort Meigs commenced—lasted five days, and was terminated by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gen. Har rison. On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste phenson occurred. On the sth October, 1813, he gained the splendid victory of ihe THAMES, over the Briiish and In dians under Proctor. in 1814, he was ap pointed by -Madison one of the Commissioners to real with the Indians, and in the same year, with ins colleagues Gov. Shelby and Gen. Cass, concluded the celeli.atod treaty of Greenville. In 1815, he was again appointed such Commis sioner, with Gen. McArthur and -Mr. Graham, and negotiated a treaty at Detroit. In 1816, he was elected a member of Congress. In January, ISIS, he introduced a resolution in honor of Kosciusko, and supported it in one of the most feeling, classical and eloquent speeches ever delivered in ihe House of Representatives. In 1819, he was elected a member Ohio Senate In 1824, he was elected Senator in Congress, and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of the .Mili tary Comrnutee, in place of Gen. Jackson, who had resigned In 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia, and, in 1829, wrote bis immortal letter to Bolivar the deliverer of South America. Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke in the House ol Representatives whilst a member ol that body ; “Os I lie career of Gen. Harrison, I need not speak—the history of I lie west is his history For forty years he has been identified with its interests, its perils, and us hopes. Universally beloved in the walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability in (he councils of his country, lie has been yet more illustriously distinguished in ihe field. During the late war, he was linger in actual service than any other General Officer; he was, perhaps, (diner 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 the nation, “and deliver the country from the dangers which encompass it.” He will be her deliverer !!
