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 the late war, he was longi-rin active ser vice than any o’her General officer; he was, per haps, ollener in action than any one ot them, and never sustained a defeat. James Madison, in a special message to Congress December 18, 1811, said, u While it is deeply lamented that so many valu able lives have been lost in the action which took place on the 7lh ultimo, Congress will see with sat isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious ly displayed by every description of troops engaged, as wdl as the colte< led firmness which distinguished (heir commandei on an occasion requiring the ut most exertions of valor and discipline." James Madison in his Message to Congress. No vember, 181*2, 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 jiosscsscs the entire confidence of his fellow soldiers, among whom are citizens some of ihem 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 manding the Northwestern arms, transferrer! the war thirl her, nnd,iapidly pursuing the hostile troops fleeing with I her savage associates.forced a general action, w hich quickly «erminat d tn the capture of the Briiiah, and dispersion of the savage force. “ This result is signally honorable to Major Gen eral Harrison, by whose military talent* it axis pre pared. ” The following tribute ol praise was pair! to Gen eral Harrison, in 1811, by eleven of the officers who fought under his banner at the battle cf Tippeca noe . “Should our country again require our service to oppose a civilized or a savage foe, we should inarch under General Harrison with the most perfect confi dence of victory and fame.” JUEL COOK, ii.

Harrison is the first of the two ” Message of Simon Bnyder, Governor t f 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 ..luidren 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 12lhN«v. 1311, the S pcaker of the House of Representatives, (fen. Wm 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 ol your Excellency on the glorious result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw nee Prophet, and the tribes ol Indians confederated with him; when wc see displayed in behalf of our country, 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, lot a moment, w ithhold ou<- meed of applause.” Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812. “ Resolved, By the Senate and House ol Kepre tativesof the Stated 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 batile of Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest thanks ©of his country and his nation. Gen. Anthony Wavne, 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, by communica ting my orders in every direction, and by his con duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for victory.” •;s Resolution directing the madals struck, be together with the thanks of Congress, presented to Major General Harrison, and Gov.

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 : “ 1 feel 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 to Gen. Harrison, July 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, pi udent and brave." Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August 18, 1817, says: “ The prompt change made by you in the order of battle on discovering the position ot the enemy, has always appeared to me to have evinced a high DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. 1 COIIC IT wifi the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of your conduct in that campaign.” Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle of the Thames.

The Richmond Enquirer said : “G en Harrison’s let.er tells, ms every thing .hat we w ish in know about the officers, except himself He docs Justice to every one but Harmon—and the world must therefore doju>nceto the man who was too modest to be just to himself.” From Gen.

Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23,1813, in the New Hampshire Patriot said : ... “ What man incs, w hose w hole heart and soul is not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late victories of Ferry and Harrison, that does not feel a pride in the valor and patriotism of l lie heroes of 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, 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 life of Perry published in 1321, 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 A the late war.” In alluding to the baltleof the Thames, he said ; “If must be concedtd that this victory reflected great honor upon the national arms , and upon the troops by whom it was achieved. “The ad ion. 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. “There are perhaps on record few instances of such cool and steady intrepidity, on the part of militia, or a force of this description, as was display ed on this occasion. 44 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.” An Eloquent Record. William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on the 9th of February, 1773. In 1791, w hen 19 years of ago, he was apjiomled by Washington an Ensign in our inlant army. In 1792, he was promoted :o the rank of Lieu tenant : and in 1793, joined the legion under Gen. Wayne, and in a lew days thereafter, was selected by him as one of hie Aids. On the 24th of August, 1794, he distinguished Himself in the battle of the Miami, and elicited the most flattering w ritten approbation of Gen Wayne. In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed in command of Fort tV ashing:on. In 1797, he was appomied, by President Adams, Secretary of the North-western Territory and cx officio Li. Governor ~ In 1798, he w as chosen a delegate to Congress. In 1801, he was appointed Governor of Indiana, and in the same year, President Jefferson appointed him sole Commissioner for treating 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 Madison, Coramander-iu-Chief of the North western army. On the Ist 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, ’Bl3, the battle of Fort Ste phenson occurred. On the sth October, 1813, he gained the splendid victory of the THAMES, over the British and In dians under Proctor. 1« 1814, he was appointed by Madison one of the Commissioners to reat with the Indians, and j in the same year, with his colleaguei Gov. Shelby ' and Gen. Cass, concluded the celtb.aled 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 Janaary, 1318, he introduced a resolution in honor of Kosciusko, and supported it in one of the most feeling, classical and eloquent speechei ever delivered in the House of Kepresentaiivcs. In 1819, he was elected a member of the Ohio Senate In 1824, he was elected -Senator in Congress, and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of the Mili tary Commit tee, in place of Gen. Jackson, who had resigned In 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia, and, in 1829, wrote his immortal letter to Bolivar the deliverer of South America. Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke in the House of Representatives whilst a member of that body : “Os the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not speak—the history of the west is his history For forty years he has been identified with its interests, its perils, and its hopes. Universally beloved in j the walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability lin the councils of his country,he has been yet more j illustriously distinguished in the field. During the late war, he was Unger m actual service than any other General Officer; he was, |>erhaps, oftner in action than any one of them, and never sustained a defeat." Such is the man, who, still enjoying his untar nished lame 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 !

Nelson is a tolerable black smith, and fond of gambling, and is sure, if t.-.ken up, to deny his name and his owner’s name, as he has runaway twice before.
