The Montage of Justice*
Wo have compiled, from various source?, 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
rison, long before he was named for she 1 residency
and in times which ought to give them weight suf
ficient to hear down all (he potty calumnies and
quibbling objections which party maligniiymay now
presume 10 forge against ihe war-worn and time
honored potriot and soldier.
The authorities we present against the attacks of
loco foco federalism, and which we have stereotyp
ed as an impregnable barricade against all opposi
tion, are no less than the Congress of L ulled
States, the Legislatures of Indiana, and of K&itncky
James Madison, Jas. Monroe, Col. Rickard M. John
yon, Anthony Wayne, Long don Cheves, Simo , ciu/-

Davis, and others, including in the i.lostnous cam*
logue even Thomas Rilchte, Isaac Hill , John M.
Niles and Moses Dawson !
Col. Richard 31. Johnson, now Vico 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 lhen gave, of his “ fortune, life
ttnd sacred honor,” to secure the liberties of his
country. T ,
“ Os the career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
the history oft he M cst, 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
the councils of his country, he had been yet more
Illustriously distinguished in the field.
“ During ihe late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than any o' her General officer; fie was, per
haps, oftener in action than any one of 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 hy every description of troops engaged,
ns 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 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 hy 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 ihe territory of the enemy, the officer com
the Northwestern arms, transferred the
® w ar tin Tiber, and, lapidly pursuing the host ile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
actum, winch quickly terminal d in the capture of
the British, and dispersion of the savage force.
♦ » 'Phis result is signally honorable to Major Gen
eral Harrison, by whose military talents it was pre
pared.”
Tf,e following 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 of ilie 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
serftping 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 the 12th Nov.
1811, the peaker ot the House of Representatives,
(Jen. Win. Johnston, thus addressed General Harri
son.
“Sir—The House of 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
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 (jpuntry, 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 of Itepre
tatives of the State ot 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 :
“My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered the most essential service, hy comrnunica
ting my orders in every direction, and by his con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
Resolution directing the madals struck, and,Jto he
together with the thanks of Congress, presented
to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby,
and fur offier purposes.
Resolved, By the Senate and House of Re;ire
sentatives of the United Slates of America in Con
gress assembled. That tlie thanks of Congress
be, and they are hereby, presented to Major Gen
eral William Henry Harrisoi , 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 hag
age, camp equippage, anti 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. Cr.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 :
44 1 feel 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, July
4, 1813, says;
44 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
18, 1817, says;
44 The prompt change made by you in the order of
battle on discovering the position ol the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. I COnC It with
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Latigdoa Cheves, on the battle of the
Thames.
44 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 ! He put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada."
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan -.
4> 1 desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
44 1 have hit the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. Ifeel every assurance that
he w ill 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 be has hither
to done; tom ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
his command will justify, 1 shall not hesitate to
unite with the army in Destowing upon mm tnat
coup tehee winch he so richly me, its, and which has
on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said:
“Gen Harrison's letter tell? us everything that
we wish to know about the officers, ear sept himself
Hr does justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore dojusticeto the man who
was 100 modest to be just to himself. ’
From Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of tin
Thames :
“We have suffered greatly for the want of pro
visions, and the whole army has subsists'', fortln
last three days, on raw beef without salt.’
“ In all ages, and in all countries, it has beer
observed, that the cultivators of ilie s »il are ihos<
who are the least willing to part with their rights
and submit themselves to the will ol a master.”
Wm. H H ARR ISON.
$3“ “THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
May they ever remember that to preserve i hen
liberties they must do their own voting and then
own fighting *m. 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 lb cs, whose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in ihe 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
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 lite of Perry published iu
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen Har
rison, said :
44 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 w ar.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said :
44 It must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, and upon the
troops by whom it was achieved.
44 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
actistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
44 There are perhaps on record few instances ol
such cool and steady intrepedity, on the part ol
militia, or a force of this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
44 Harrison and Perry left Detroit in ihe 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 Us 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 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 ny his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of the nation, 44 and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !!
