J lie son of one of the signers of the Declaration of In lepenilenoe, who spent the greater part of his large fortune in redeem ing'the pledge he then gave, of hit “ fortune, life ond sacred honor,” to secure the lib* rite; of his country. T , , •I Ofthc career of Gen. Harrison 1 need nut speak - the history oft he West, is his history . For forty years he has horn identified wilh its interests, its Verils and its hopes. Universally beloved m the walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability m the councils ol his country, he had been yet more illustriously distinguished in .he field. “ Daring the late war, he was longer n ac tive ser vice than any o' her General officer; he was, per haps, ollener in action than any one u-t them, and never sustained a defeat ” * James Madison, in a special message to Congress December 18, 1811, sat i, “ While it is deeply lamented that so many valu able lives have been lost in the action which look place on the /lit ultimo. Congress will see with sat isfaction ihe dauntless s pirit of fortituoe victorious ly displayed by every description of troops engaged, as well as the collated firmness which distinguished their commandei on an occasion requiring the ut •most exertions of valor and discipline." James Madison in bis Message to Congress, No vember, 1812,said, “ An ample force from the Stales ol Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with the addition of a few regular*, 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 by their political sta tions than by their personal merits.” In .Mr. Madison's message of December 1313, the compliment was exlen led, 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 thtrlher,and,tapidly pursuing the hostile troops fleeing with I her savage associates, folded a general action, which quickly terminal- d in the capture of 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 IS 11, bj eleven of the officers who fought under his banner at the battle -of 1 ippeca noc. “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 ■deuce of victory and fame.” JOEL COOK, R. B. BURTON, NATHAN ADAMS, A. HAWKINS, H. BURCH STEAD, HOSEA BLOOD, JOSIA SWELLING, O. G. BURTON, C. FULLER, G GOODING, J. D. FOSTER. Extract of a letter from Col. Davis, who was kil led at the hattleof Tippecanoe, August 24, 1311: “ 1 make free to declare, that I have imagined there were two military men in the Wc.;t,and Gen. Harrison is the first of the two” \ Message of Simon Snyder, Governor of Penn sylvania, December 10, 1813 “ Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro ghnn,encircled with laurels, and the blessings of thousands of women and children rescued from the scalping knife ot the ruthless savage of ihe wilder ness, and from the still more savage Proctor, rest on Harrison and his gallant army.” ?n the Legislature of Indiana, on the 12th Nov. 1811, the 3 ptaker of the House of Representatives, Gett.Wm. Johnston, lhu.s addressed jcneral 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 ihe 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 ui 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 ban not, lot a moment, w ithhold oik meed of applausje.” Legislature o f Kentucky, January’7 1 1812. •“ Resolved, By the Senate and Ho iiye of Kej.re latives of the Stale ot Kentucky, in -the late cam paign against the Indians upon the Wabash, Gov. William Henry Harrison has behaved; Uke a hero, a patriot and a general; and that for UN cool, delib erate, skilful and gallant conduct in fire battle of Tippecanoe, he will deserve the wannest thanks of his country and his nation. | Gen. Anthony Wa\ne, iuhis Letter to the Secre tary of W ar, 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 jcotnrnunica ting my orders in every direction, ai;di by his con duct and bravery, exciting the troops?to press fur victory.” Resolution directing the madals struck, and,Jto he together with ihe thanks of Congress:, presented to Mqjor General Harrison, and Gov.

Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre sentatives of the United Siates of America in Con gress assembled,, That the thanks of Congress be, and they arc hereby, presented tc Major Gen eral William Henry itarrisot. and Isaac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky, and through them,to the of firers and men under their command, for their gal lantry and go M conduct in defeating the combined British and Indian forces under Major 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 ; qnd that the President ol 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. 1 ■ H. Cl.A Y, Speaker of the House o Representatives. John Gaillard, President ol: the Senate, pro lempore. April 4, 1818.—Approved, James Monroe. Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, M ty 18, 1814, says : “ I leel no hesitation to declare to yon that I be lieve Gen Harrison to be one of the first military characters I evi r knew.” Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July 4, 1813,says: “ H e did not want to serve under cowards or trai tors ; but under one [ Harrison] who hud proved him self to be wise, prudent and brave." Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August 18, 1817,says : “ The prompt changemare by you -n the order of battle on discovering ibe position of the enemy, lias always appeared to me to have evinced a high DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. 1 i COOC If with the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of your conduct in that campaign.” Honorable Langdon Clieves, on the Rattle of the Thames. “ Che victory of Harrison, was such (js would have secund to a Raman G. neral in the best: , days of the Republic, tt,e honor* of u triumph ! if put an end to the War in the Uppermost Canada"' I Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col. Croghan: t > ‘•1 desire no plaudits which are bcvjowed upon me at the expense ot General Harrison I “ 1 have kit tin* warmest attachment for him as a man, and my confidence in him us an -.ijiiie comman der remains unshaken. I fed every assurance that he will at all times do me justice ; and nothing could give me more pain than to see his enemies seize upon tins occasion to deal out their unfriendly leelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he continues (as in ray humble opinion he h s hither to donei tom ake the wisest arrangements and the most judicious disposition, whicn Lie forces under his command will justify, 1 shall not hesitate 10 unite with the army in Jnestowtng upon [nan U.at r , conjidenre which he so richly m i its , and winch ’has on no occasion been withheld. The Kielimonil Enquirer said: “(Jen Hamsun's letier tells us everything that we wish to know about the officers, except himself. He docs justice to every one but Harrison— and the world most therefore dojnsticeto the man who was 100 modest to be just to himself.” From Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the Thames : “We have suffered greatly for the want ot pro visions, and the whole army has subsisted, for the last three days, on raw beef without salt” £5" “ in all ages, and in ail countries, it has been observed, that the cultivators of the soil aretiiose who are the lead willing to part with their rights, and submit themselves to (he will ot a master. Wm. H Harrison. &5-“ THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES May thev ever remember that to preserve their liberties, they must do their own voting and their own lighting **• H Harrison. “General Harrison has done more for his coun try, with less compensation for if, than any mail Jiving.” President Madison. Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in the New Hampshire Patriot said : “ What man IP cs, whose whole heart and soul is not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in tho late victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not feel a pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes of ihe 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, lie is « traitor to the country —he possesses the spirit of a mrird^er.” John M. Niles, late Van Bnren cand.d.ite for Gov. in Connecticut, in his life of Perry published in 1821, after giving a general biography of Gen Har rison, *aid ; “ The defence of Fort Meigs, ami 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 hattleof the Thames, he said ; “It must he conceded that this victory reflected great honor upon the national arms, and upon the troops by whom it was achieved. “ The action, and the movements which preceded it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and cool intrepidity of Gen. Ha r rison* and, indeed, all the events of the campaign support these char aclislics ; the disaster* 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 ot 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 I &c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the frontiers. ” An Eloquent Record. William Henry Harrison was bom in Virginia on the9ih of February, 1773. In 1791, w hen 19 years of age, he was appointed bv Washington an Ensign in our infant army. In 1792, lie was promoted to the rank of Lieu tenant : and in 1793, joined the legion tinder (fen. Wayne,and in a lew days thereafter, was selected by him as one of his Aids. On ihe 24th of August, 1794, he distinguished himself in the battle ot the Miami, and elicited the most flattering written approbation of Gen Wayne. In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed in command of Fort \N ashing:on. In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams, Secretary of the North-western Territory and cx ojjicio Lt. Governor In 1793, he was chosen a delegate to Csngre.-s. In 1801, he was appointed Governor of Indiana, and in lhe same year, President Jefferson appointed him sole Commissioner for treating with the In dians. In 1809, he was re-appointod 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 bv hiaclison, Coinmander-in-Chief of the North western army. On the Ist May, 1813, the s-eige of Fort Meigs commenced—lasted five days, and was terminated by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gen. Har rison. On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste phenson occurred. On the stb October, 1813, he gained the splendid victory ol the THAMES, over the British and In dians under Proctor. In 1814, he was as pointed by Madison one of the Commissioners to rear with the Indians and in the same year, with his colleagues Gov. Shelby and Gen. Cass, concluded the ceieb.ated treaty of Greenville. la 1815, be was again appointed such Commis sioner, with Gen. McArthur and Mr. Graham, and negotiated a treaty at Detroit. In 1816, ho was elected a member of Congress. In January, 1818, he introduced a resolution in honor of Kosci«sko, and supported it in one of the most feeling, classical and eloquent speeches ever delivered in the House of Representatives. In 1819, he was elected a member of the Ohio Senate In 1821, he was elected Senator in Congress, and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of tlie Mili tary Committee, in place of Gen. Jackson, who had resigned In 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia, and, in 1829, wrote Ins hb mortal letter to Bolivar the deliverer of South America. Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke in the House ol Representatives whilst a member ol that body : “Os the career of Gen. Harrison, 1 need not speak—the lii.story of the west is bis history For forty years he has been identified with its interests, its penis, and ns hopes. Universally beloved in the walks ot pence,and distinguished by bis ability in llie councils of his country, lie lias been yet ra ire | illustriously distinguished in the field. During the late war, he was Unger in actual service than any other General Officer; he was, perhaps, Miner in action titan 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 ny 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 !
