“An ample force from the States of‘Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is plficcd, with
the addition of a few regulars, under th| command
of Brigadier General Harrison, who po nesses the
entire confidence of his fellow soldiers, among
whom are citizens some of them volunteers in the
ranks, not less distinguished by their jitditical sta
tions than hv their personal merits,” |
In Mr. Mad ison’s message of December ISI3, the
compliment was extended, as follows : »
“ The success on Lake Erie having orimed a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the Ifficer com
manding the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thirther,and, lapidiy pursuing the hostile troops

He does justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore dojusliceto liie man who

From Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the
Thames :
“We have suffered greatly for the want of pro
visions, and the whole army has subsists', forthe
last three days, on raw beef without salt. ’
in all ages, and in all countries, it has been

Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23,1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriotsaid ;
“ What man in cs, whose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in ihe late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not feel
a pride in the valor and patriotism of ihe 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 tiie country—he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his htc of Perry published in
1821, 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 f airly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events of the
late war.” .
Jn alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said :
“ft must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, and upon the
troops by whom it was achieved.
“ The net ion. 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
actistics ; 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, 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
&c. They’ were hailed as the deliverers ot the
frontiers.”
An Eloquent Record.
William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on
lhe9th of February, 1773.
In 1791, when 19 years of age, he was appointed
by Washington an Ensign in our infant army.
In 1792, he was promoted to the rank of Lieu
tenant : and in 1793, joined the legion under Gen.
Wayne, and in a few days thereafter, was selected
by him as one of his Aids.
'On the 24th of August, 1794, he distinguished
himself in the battle ol 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 NN ashington.
In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams,
Secretary of ihe North-western Territory and ex
ojficio 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 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, 1312, he was appointed
by Madison, Coinmander-m-Chief of the North
western army.
On the Is) May. 1813, the seige of Fort Meigs
commenced— lasled five days, and was terminated
by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gea. Har
rison.
On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste
phenson occurred.
On the sth October, 1813, he gamed the splendid
victory of the THAMES, over the British and In
dians under Proctor.
In 1814, he was aj: pointed by Madison one of
the Commissioners to real with the Indians, and
in the same year, with his colleagues Gov. Shelby
and Gen. Cass, concluded the celeLnalud treaty of
Greenville.
In 1815, he was again appointed such Commis

negotiated a treaty at Detroit.
In 1816, he was elected a member of Congress.
In January, 1818, he introduced a resolution in
honor of Kosciusko, 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 1824, he was elected Senator in Congress,
and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of the Mili
tary Committee, 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 w hilst a member
ot 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 hs hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability
in flie councils of his country,he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
late war, he was Unger in actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, wftner in
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 r»y 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 w hich encompass it.”
