Ex Governor Hill, November 33, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said : J
“ What man liv cs, whose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not tcel
a pride in the valor and patriotism of the hemes ol
th** West, who have treed 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 ttie country —he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.” , . _ _
John M Niles, late Van Buren cand d ttc for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his file of Perry published in
1921, after giving a general biography of Gen Har
rison, said , .
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, end 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 ;
“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 w hich preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidity ct Gen. Ha rison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actistics ; the disasters aitending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances ol
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 23d of October Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy and
admiration; the discharge ot cannon, illuminations
Ac. They were hailed as the deliverers of ihe
frontiers.”
An Eloquent Record.

most flattering written approbation of Gen A ayne.
In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed
in command of Fort W ashing on.
In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams,
Secretary of tlie North-western Territory and ex
officio Lt. Governor
~ In 1793, he was chosen a delegate to C<,ngre.-s

In 1816, he was elected a member of Congress.

Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke
in tlie House of Representatives whilst a niembei
ol that body :
“ Os the career of Gen. 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 us hopes. Universally beloved in
| the walks ol peace,and distinguished by his ability
I in the councils of his country, he lias been yet more
! illustriously distinguished in ihe field. During the
late war. tie was Unger in actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, ofiner in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
ißuch 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 t>y his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of the nation, “and deliver
the country from ihe dangers which encompass it.”
