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.” JOEL COOK, 11.

Anthony Wayne, in his Letter to the Secre tary of War, giving an official account ol his san guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said : “My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison rendered the most essential service, by coramunica ting my orders in every direction, and by his con- j duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for j victory.” Resolution directing the madals struck, and,Jto be j together with the thanks of Congress, presented to Major General Harrison, and Gov.

Ex Governor Isaac HiW, November 23,1813, in the New Hampshire Patriot said : “ What man In es, w hose whole heart and son. 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 ot the We-r who have Irecd a country large as toe Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian tomahawk and scalping knife ! If there he such nu one,.he is a traitor to the .country—he possesses Hie spirit of a raurd»*rer.” , , . r n 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 frontiers."’ An Eloquent Record.

In 181(3, he was elected a member of Congress, in January, 1818, he introduced a resolution in honor of Kosciusko, and supported it in one of the most feeling, classical and eloquent speeches ever delivered in the House of Representatives.
