The authorities we present t, gainst tl.e attacks of

Col. Richard M. Johnson, no a V ice President of
the United States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? Thcj son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of Ik lependence, who
spent me greater part of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he .lien gave, tis his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties of his
country.
“ Os the career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
- the history oft he West, is his history. For forty
vears he has been identified wiih its interests, its
perils and its hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by bis ability in
the councils ol bis country, be -tad been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field.
44 During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than any o* her General officer; he was, per
haps, oltener in action than any ;one ol them, and
never sustained a defeat.” *
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, 1811, said, |
a While ii is deeply lamented dial so many valu
able lives have been lost in the action which look
place on the 7th ultimo, Congres j will see with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly disnlayed by every de.scripiiuhof troops engaged,
as well as the toilet led firmness which distinguished
their commundei on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and disc Mine.”
James Madison in his Message to Congress. No
vember, 1812, said, 5
“ 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 themivolunteers in the
ranks, not less distinguished byjheir political sta
tions than by their personal merit!*.”
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 cnem;’, the oflicer com
manding the Northwestern arm*, transferred the
war tbirthcr,and,iapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
actum, which quickly terminal d| m the capture of
the British, and disjiersion of llrj 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, by eleven of the officers who
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 tame.”

Extract of a letter from Col. Davis, who was kil
led at the battle of Tippecanoe, August 24, 1811:
“I make free to declare, that 1 have imagined
there were two military tnen in (he West, and Gen.
Harrison is the first of the 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
scalping knileot 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 Speaker of 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 the
congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
result officiate sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet, and the tribes ol Indians confederated
with him; when wo see displayed in behalf of
our country, no 1 only the consummate abilities of
the general, but l he heroism of the man ; and w hen
we take into view the benefits w hich must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, lot a
moment, withhold oik meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved, By the Senate and House ol Repre
tativesofthe Siateof 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 I lie battle of ]
Tippecanoe, be will deserve the warmest thanks
of Ins 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 Bailie, in 1792,said :
“ My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered the most.essential service, by communica
ling my orders in every direction, and by Ins con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press lor
victory.”
Resolution directing the madals struck, and,Jto he
together with the thanks ot Congress, presented
to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby,
ami for other purposes.
Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the United States of America in Con
gress assembled, That the thanks of Congress
be, and they are hereby', presented to Major Gen
eral William Henry llarrisui . and Isaac Shelby,
late Gov. of Kentucky,and through them, to the of
ficers and men under their command, lor their gal
lantry and good conduct in defeating the combined
British and Indian forces under Major General Proc

thirteen, capturing the British army, with their bag
age, camp eqnippage, and artillery ; and that the
President of the United Stales be requested to cause

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:
“ 1 leel 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:
“ U r did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [ Harrison ] who had proved him
self to be wise , pi udeut 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 tlieem my, lias
always appeared to roe to have evinced a high
degree of military talent. 1 cone ir wifi
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon Cl eves, on the battle of the
Thames.
“ The victory of Harrison, was such as would have
secured to a Unman General in the best days of the
Republic, the honor >• of a triumph ! He put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada.”
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan :
*" 1 desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
" 1 have ft It the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and ray confidence in him us an able comman
der remains unshaken. 1 feel every assurance that
he will at ail limes do me justice; ami
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long a- he
continues (as in ray humble opinion he h;s hhher
lodone-tom ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which tne forces under
his command vvili justify. I shall not hesitate to
unite with tne army to bestowing upon L mm tout
confide we which he so richly merits, and which Jims
on nn occasion been wit hheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said :
“G en Harrison’s letter tells us every thing that
we wish 10 know about the officers, except himself.
He does justice to every one but Harrison— and
the world must therefore dojusticeto the man who
was too modest to be just to himself.”
From Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the
Thames i
“We hav-a suffered greatly for the want of pro
visions, end the whole army has subsisted, for the
lasi three days, on raw beef without salt.”
'n all ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those
who are the least willing lo part with their rigtns,
and submit themselves to the will ot a master.

S3-“THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
.May |hey ever remember that lo preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and then
own fighting M - H. Harrison.
*‘ General Harrison lias 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 lives, whose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in ihe late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that does nol fed
a pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes of
Ihe Wes;, 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—lie possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his lite of Perry nulF ahed in
1821, after giving a general biography ol 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 of the
late war. ’
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said :
“Jt must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms , and upon the
troops by whom if was achieved.
“ The action, and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidity cf Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actislics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances of
such coo! 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 Artel, and
arrived ai Erie on the22cl of October Here they
were received with every demonstration ot joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers ol the
frontiers. ’

and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy
can assail him, is now summoned ny his grateful
countrymen lo leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of the nation, “and deliver
