“ During Ihe laie war, he was lopver in active ser
vice tnan any o' her General officer!; he was, per
haps, oftener in action than any one ol them, and
@ never sustained a defeat.'’ j
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, 1811, said,
“ While it is deeply lamented licit so many valu

Janies Madison ini his Messagedo Congress, No

“ An ample force from the Starts of Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia,! is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, unjler the command
of Brigadier General Harrison, who possesses the
entire confidence of his fellow • soldiers, among
whom are citizens some of them j'oluateers in the
ranks, not less distinguished by tjioir political sta
tions than by their personal merit*-.!'
In .Mr. Madison’s message of December 1813, the
compliment was extended, as tolldv s :
“ The success on Lake Erie having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy,; the officer com
manding the Northwestern armsjl transferred the
war thirl her, and. t apidly pursuing jhe hostile troops
fleeing with I heir savage association reed a general

General Harrison has done more for his coun

*Governor Isaac Hill, November 23,1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said:
“ What man li' cs, whose whole heart and soul is
..ot British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not feel
a nride in the valor and patriotism of the 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.” , , . r ~
John M. Niles, late V an Buren cand:dafe for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his lite of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen Har
rison, vaid .
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British array, may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events ol the
late war.” ..
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, be said ;
“It must be 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. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
aciistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him. . .
“ There are perhaps on record fe v instances ot
such cool and steady intrepedity, on the part of
militia, or a force of this description, us was display -
ed on this occasion. . .
“ Harrison ami Perry left Detroit in the Ariel, and
arrived al Erie on the 22d ol 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.

the 9ih of February, 1773.
In 1791, when 19 years of age, he was appointed
by Washington an Ensign in our inlant army.
In 1792, he was promoted to 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 his Aids. .
Onthe 24th of August, 1/94, 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 Washington.
In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams,
Secretary of the North-western Territory and ex
officio Lt. Governor
“ In 1793, he was 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 treaiing 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

On the 11th September, 1312, he was appointed
bv Madison, Conmiander-in-Cbief of the iNorth
western army.
Onthe ist May, 1813, the seige of Fort Meigs
commenced —lasted five days, and was terminated
by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gea. Har
rison.
On the 31 si July, 1813, the battle of Fort bte
phenson occurred.
On the sth October, 1813, he gained the splendid
victory of the THAMES, over the Briifeh 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 colleague! Gov. Shelby
and Gen. Cass, concluded the celeb.ated treaty of
Greenville.
In 1815, he was again appointed such Commis

negotiated a treaty at Detroit.
In 1316, he was elected a member of Congress.

Senate

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
ot that body : -
“Os the career of Cen. Harrison, I need not
speak—the history of the west is his history Fur
forty years he has been identified with its interests,
! its penis, and ns hopes Universally beloved in
‘ the walks of peace,and distinguished by tus ability
jin the councils of his country,he has been vet more
i illustriously distinguished in ihe field. During the
late war, he was l«ngcr in actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, wftner ih
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat.” ”
Such is the man, who, still enjoying his untar
nished fame 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
ihe country from ihe dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !
