“ 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 ot them, and
never sustained a defeat.”
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, 1811, said,
« While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost in ihe action which look
place on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see -vilh sat
isfaction the dauni less spirit of fortitude vu-tor.ous
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
as well as the coUected firmness which distinguished
their commands on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline.
Jam* Madison in his Message to Congress, No
vember, 1812, said, i
“ An ample force from the Stales 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
wh<>m 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 1813, the
compliment was extended, as follows :
“ '1 he success on Lake Erie having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, .he officer com
manding the Northwestern arms, transferred tho
war thirl her, and, i apidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleei with their savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminated in .he (rapture ot
the Hriush, 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 1811, bj eleven of the officers who
fought under his banner at the battle of Tippeca
noe . . .
“Should our country agann# pure our service to
oppose a civilized or a savage toe, we should march
under General Harrison with the most perfect conn-
Peace of victory and fame.”

“ Already is the brow of the young warrior, Gro

thousands of women and children rescued from the
scalping knife ot the ruthless savage of the wilder

congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
residi of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw

with him; when vve see displayed in behalf of
our country, not only the consummate abilities ol
the »eneral, but the heroism of the man ; and w hen
we Take into view the benefits which must result lo
that country from those exertions, we cannot, for a
moment, withhold oik meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre
tativesof the State of Kentucky, in 'he fate 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 the battle of
Tippecanoe, lie will deserve the warmest thanks
of fits country and his nation.
Gen. Anthony Wavne, inbis Letter to the Secre
tary of War,giving an official account of his san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said :
“My faithful and gal a:it Lieutenant Harrison
rendered the most essential service, by communica
tin* my orders in every direction, and by his con
coct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
victory.”
Resolution diiecting the madals struck, and,Jto be
together with the lhar ks of Congress, presented
to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby,
and for other purposes.
Resolved, By the KtnaU- and House of Repre
sentatives of tlie United States of America in Con
gress assembled, That the thanks of Congress
h- and they are hereby, presented to Major Gen
eral William Henry ilarrisot . and Isaac Shelby,

thirteen, capturing the British array, w uh their bag
age, camp equippage, and artillery ; and that the
President of the United States 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;
“ I ieel no hesitation to declare to yoa that I be
lieve Gen Harrison to be one of the first military
characters I ever knew."
Col. Richard M. Johnson loGen. Harrison, July
4, 1813,says;
« IVc did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [Harrison] who he J proved him
self to be wise, prudent and brave."
Commodore Perry lo General Harrison, August
18, 1817,says: . ,
“ The prompt change made by you m the order of
battle on discovering the position of the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
degree of military talent. I cone ir with
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.
Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle of the
Thames.
“ The victory of Harrison, was such as would have
secured to a Roman General in the best days of the
Republic, the honors of a triumph ! He jmt an end
to the Warm 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 ftlt the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence m him os an able comman
der remains unshaken. I fee! every assurance that
he will at all times do me justice ; end nothing
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon ihis occasion to deal out ihetr unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and to long as he
continues (as in my humble opinion he has hither
to done) tom ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
his command will justify, I shall not hesitate to
unite with the army in |i res towing upon imm that
couji deuce which he so richly merits, and which ,has
on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said:
“G en Harrison’s letter tells us every thing that
wc wish to know about the officers, except himself.
Hr does justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore do justice to the man who
was too modest to be just to himself.’
?rom Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the
Thames ;
“We have suffered greatly (or the want of pro
visions, and the whole army has sab.-osie , for the
la>t three days, on haw beef without salt.
%Cj- “ In all ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those
who are the least willing to part with their rights,
and submit themselves to the will ol a master.

PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
>lay they ever remember lhat to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting vV M H. Harrison.
“ General Harrison has 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
ihe New Hampshire Pat riot said :
“ What man IB cs, whose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, lhat does not feel
a pride 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 ! Jf there be such an
one, he is a traitor lo the country —he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Buren cand date for Goy.
in Connecticut, in his lire of Perry published in
182!, after giving a general biography of Gen Har
rison, said
“ 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 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 which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the Judgement and
copl intrepidity cf Gen. Ha-rison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actistics : the disasters amending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances of
such cool and steady iatrepedity, 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.”

“Os the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not
speak—the history of the west is his history For
forty years lie has been identified with its interests,
its perils, anti its hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability
in ilia councils of his country,he lias 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, diner in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat .”
Buch 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 t>y his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide lha councils of the nation, “and deliver
the country from ihe dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !
