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.” ,» JOEL COOK, R.

Gen.

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.” An Eloquent Record. William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on the9ih of February, 1773. In 1791, when 19 years of age, he was appointed by Washington an Ensign in our infant army. in 1792, lie 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. On the 24th of August, 1794, he distinguished himself in the battle ol the Miami, and elicited the most flattering written approbation of Gen Wa'.'fie. In 1795, he was made a Captain, aiM - vVUS pj^ ce j in command of Fort Washi n T on> . In 1797, he was Rp~, o i n ted, by President Adams, Secretary ine North-western Territory and ex f '*eio Lt. Governor. In 1798, 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, 1812, he was appointed by Madison, Comraander-in-Chief of tiie North western army. On the 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 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste phenson occurred. i 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 appointed by Madison one of the Commissioners to reat with the Indians, and in the same year, with his colleague i Gov. Sheiby r and Gen. Cass, concluded the celebrated treaty of Greenville. In 1815, he was again appointed such Commis sioner, with Gen. .McArthur and Mr. Graham, and 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 ofthe 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 ihe deliverer of South America. Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke in the House of Representatives w hilst a member ol 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 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.” He will be her deliverer i I JOUR months after date, application will be made to the honorable Inferior Court of Burke county, while sitting as a Court of Ordinary, for leave to sell two hundred and twelve acres of land, belonging to Joseph H.
