and in times which entrlit to give them weight suf

Col. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
the United States, said, (in Congress)--
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son clone of the
signers of the Declaration of In lepennonce, who
spent the greater part of his large fortune in redet ru
ing! he pledge he then gave, of his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties of his
country. |
“ Os the career of Gen. Harrison I nrsitd not speak
the history ofthe West, is his history. For forty
years he has been identified w ith its {interests, its
perils and its hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by hi* ability in
the councils of his country, he had b«|en yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice tnan any o'her General officer; he was, per
haps, oftener in action than any one of them, and
never sustained a defeat.”
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, 1811, said,
“ While it is deeply lamented that sc many valu
able lives have been lost in ihe action = which look
place on the 7lh ultimo, Congress w ill cee with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude, victorious
ly displayed hy every description of troops engaged,
as well as the collected firmness which dtftingnished
their commandei on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline. ’|
James Madison in his Message to Congress, No
vember, 1812, said, 1
“ An ample force from the States o| Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, wilh
the addition of a few regulars, under the command
of Brigadier General Harrison, who possesses the
entire confidence of his fellow solders, among
whom are citizens some of them volun-cfers 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 :
“ 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 thin her, and, tapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing wilh their savage associates,forced a general
action, w hich quickly terminal d in the'capture of
the British, and dispersion of the savagi| 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 f|c:id 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 again require our service to
oppose a civilized or a savage foe, we slt-mld march
under General Harrison w iih the most p-ti'fect confi
dence of victory and fame.” ,»

In the Legislature of Indiana, on the 12th Nov.

Gen. Wm. Johnston, thus addressed jcoeral Harri

their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the
congratulations of your Excellency on pie glorious
result ofthe late sanguinary conflict witfi the Shaw

with him; when we see displayed in behalf of
our country, no' only the consummate liabilities of
the general, but the heroism of the man [ and when
we take into view the benefits which in list result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, for a

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says :
“ I (eel no hesitation to declare to you that I be
lieve Gen Harrison to be one ofthe firs/ military
characters I ever knew "
Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813, says : i s j
“ We did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [Harrison] who had proved him
se'f tv be wise, prudent and brave."
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
48, 1817, says; i
“ The prompt change made by you in ihe order of
battle on discovering ihe position of the * n< my, has
always appeared lo me l> have evince 1 a high
DECREE OF MILITARY TALENT. 1 C >OC IF wil l
ihe venerable Shelby m his general approbation of
vour conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Langdun Cheves, on the bailie 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 ! Hi put an end
f lo the War in the Uppermost Canada."
Sentiments of ‘.he Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Crogkan:
*• 1 desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
“ 1 have tv it ihe warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as an aha? common
dot remains unshaken. 1 feel every assurance ihat
he will at all limes do me justice; and nothing
•could give me more pain thou to see ii,a enemies
seize upon ibis occasion to deal out their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and s »long as he
continues (as in my humble opinion he u s uither
-to done) tom ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, whicn the forces under
his command will justify, I shall not. hesitate to
unite w ith tne army in jncstovv trig upon .nun tnai
confidence which he so richly ments, and which .has
on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said:
“G en Harrison’s letter tells us every thing that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself
He does justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therelor-e dojusticeto the man who
was too modest lo be just to himself.”
/rom 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 subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”
In all ages, and in ail 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 ot a master.”
Wm. H Harrison.
50“ “THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
—.May they ever remember that to presr,r»e their
liberties, they must do their own voting and l Heir
own fighting Wm. II Harrison
“General Harrison has done more lor his coun
try with less compensation tor it, than any man
living.” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
» What man IB cs, whose whole heart and : enl is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that 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 ! If 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 candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his life of Perry published in
1821, afier giving a general biography of Gen- Har
rison, said :
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, and 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 tins 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
actistics ; the disasters 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 of this description, us 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 of the
frontiers.”

forty years he has been identified with its interests,
its perils, and ns hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability
in the councils of his country,he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
late war, lie was linger in actual service than any
other General Officer ; he was, perhaps, (-finer in
action than 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 by his grateful
countrymen lo leave the quiet walks ol private life
to guide the councils of the nation, “and deliver
the country from ihe dangers which encompass : t.”
