the United States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of In lependence, who
ejicnt the greater part of hie large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he ihen gave, of his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” lo secure the liberties of his
country.
“ Os the career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
- the history oflhe West, is his history . For forty
years he has been identified with its interests, its
perils and ns hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils ot 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 other General officer; he was, per
haps, oftoner 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 7th ultimo, Congress will see with sat
isfaction the daunt less spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
as veil as the. collected firmness which distinguished
their commando on an occasion requiring the nt.
® 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 the territory of the enemy, the officer com
manding the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thin her, and, inpidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with thei: savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminated in the capture ol
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, bj eleven of the officers w ho
fought under his banner at the battle of Tippeca
noe; k
“Should our country again require our service to
oppose a civilized or a savage foe, we should march
under General Harrison w ith the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

Message of Simon Snyder, Governor cf Penn
sylvania, December 10, 1813
“ Already is the brow of ihe young warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
thousands of women and children 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 the 12th Nov.
1811, the 8 peaker ot 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 in behalf of
their constituents, most cordially reciprocate lho
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 wo 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 lo
that country from those exertions, we cannot, lot a
moment, withhold our meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved, By the Senate and House ol Repre
tativesof the Slate of 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 be.itle of
Tippecanoe, be will deserve the warmest thanks
of his country and his nation.
Gen. Anthony Wa\ne, inhis Letter to the Secre
tary of W ar, giving an official account of his san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said :
“My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered ihe most essential service, hy coraraunica
ling my orders in every direction, and by his con
e.,, duet and bravery, exciting the troops ro press for
victory.”
Resolution directing the madals struck, and,Jto he
together with the thanks of Congress, presented
to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby,
and for other purposes.
Rtsolvea, 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 Harriso?, 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 M njur 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, 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- Clay,
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 :
“ ] (eel 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 lo Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813,says:
“ VVe did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [Harrison] who had proved him
self to he wise, prudent and brave."
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817,says:
“ The prompt change made by you in the order of
battle on discovering i lie position of the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. I COIIC IT w ith
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon Chevcs, 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 ihe
Republic, the honors of a triumph ! Hi put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada."
Sentiments ol the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan :
*• 1 desire no plaudits which are bestow ed upon
me at ihe expense of General Harrison.
“ 1 have (tit the warmest attach mein for him as a
man, and my confidence m him as uu able comman
der whams unshaken. 1 fee! every assurance i hat
he will at ail times do me justice; and nothing
could give rne more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon ihis occasion to 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, 1 shall not hesitate to
unite with the army m bestowing upon nim tnat
conjidence which he so richly merits, and which lias
on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said :
“Gen Harrison’s letier tells us every thing that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He does justice to every one hut 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 army has subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”
&CT u In all ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, chat 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.
fc>-“THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
May thev ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting. Wm. 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, 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 ihe Indian
tomahawk and scalping knife ! If there be such an
one, he is a traitor to the country—lie 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 ol the
late war.”
In alluding to the battleof the Thames, he said :
“It must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, and upon ihe
troops by whom it was achieved.
“ The anion. 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 lo him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances of
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 of joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”

negotiated a treaty at Detroit.
In 181G,he was elected a member of Congress.

forty years lie 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 ; lie was, perhaps, wftner 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 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 ! !
