signers ol the Declaration of In lepchdenee, who
spent the greater part of hi* large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, of his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties of iiia
country.
“ Os l'ne career of Gen. Harrison 1 need not speak
the history ofihe West, is hie history, lor forty
years he has been identified with its interests, its
perils and Us hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability m
the couriers ol his country, he had been yet more
illustriously distinguished in tin* field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than any ot her General officer; lie was, per
haps, oitener in action than any one ol them, mid
never sustained a defeat."
Janies "Madison, in a special message to Congress
December IS, 1811, said,
“ While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost in the action which took
place on the 7lii ultimo, Congress will see with sat
isfaction the daunt less spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
as wellas the collected firmness which distinguished
their commandoi on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline.
James Madison in his Message to Congress, No
vciabcr, 1812, said, , .
“ An ample force from the Stales ot 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 bis 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 ilie territory ol' the enemy, the officer cum
mandin° the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thirl her, and, lapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with ihei: savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminal d in the capture ut
the British, and dispersion of the savage force.
“ This result is signally honorable tv Major Gen
eral Hnmson, by whose military talents it was pre
pared."
The following tribute ol praise was paid to Gen
cral Harrison, in 1811, by eleven of the officers who
fought under bis banner at the battle of Tippeca
noe .
“Should our country again require our service so
oppose a civilized or a savage foe, we should march
under General Harrison with the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

Ex Governor Isaac HiW, November 23,1813, in

“ What man In es, w hose whole heart and son. is

John M. Niles, late Van Burcn candidate for Gov.
in Coiiiieciicut, in his file of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography ol Gen- iiar
rison, said ; , ,
“ 'i he defence of Fort Meigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British array, may he fairly consider
ed the must brilliant and extraordinary events ol the
late war.” ■ ~
In alluding to the battle of the lhames, he said ;
“It must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, and upon the
troops by whom it tbas achieved.
“ The action, and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidity of Gen. Harrison; and, nidged,
nil the events of the campaign support these char
actistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record fe'V instances of
such cool and steady intrepedity, on ihe -pgrt ut
militia, or a force of this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Ferry loft 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
Ac. They were hailed as ihe deliverers of the

df AA A REWARD. —Runaway from the
Y/ subscriber, on the 29th ult., a likely
negro boy named Scott, 18 or 19 years old, 5 feet
10 inches nigh, rather light complexion, looks very
pleasing when spoken to, very intelligent, and re
markably polite in his deportment, spare made and
streight. He took with him, from me,about SIOO
in money, $25 of which was American gold, the
balance in bills of the Planters’ and Mechanics’
Bank of Columbus. Also, a fine gold watch and
chain with square link*. lam inclined to believe
he has been seduced away by some white man, as
he has hitherto been trust worthy and honest as far
as 1 have known.
He was raised in Charlotte, N. C., and may
possibly endeavor to get back, but will mere pro
bably endeavor to get to a lice State, either by
way of Apalachicola or through the up countiy, as
he has been heard to express a desire to get to
Ohio or Philadelphia.
I will give the above reward of tour hundred
dollars, for the-apprehension of the boy and thief,
and their delivery so me, with sufficient evidence
to convict them, or S2OO lor the boy and the watch,
or $l5O for the boy alone,ora proportionate reward
for his confinement in jail, and information so that
I get him. ' WM. I). LUCAS.
