“ Os the career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
*- the history oft he W esf, is his histor|j'. For forty
years he has been identified with its interests, its
perils and its hopes. Universally b'-kived in the

“ While it is deeply lamented that *o many valu

as well as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commandsi on an occasion reef taring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline.\
James Madison in his Message to flung res s, No

“ An ample force from the Stales <;» Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a leu regulars, under the command
of Brigadier Central Harrison, who possesses the
entire confidence of his fellow soldiers, among
whom 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
“ I he success on Lake Erie having;opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, lire officer com
manding the Northwestern arras, transferred the
war thirl her,and,lapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with I heir savage associates,forced a general

“ This result is signally honorable-to Major Gen

“ Already is the brow of the young ‘warrior, Cro

guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said : ;
“My faithful and gallant Lieutcn nt Harrison
rendered the most essential service, hy coramunica

“ 1 leel no hesitation to declare to yds that I be
lieve Gen Harrison to be one of the first military

Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Hqrrison, July

' Thames.
“ The victory of Harrison, was such «*» would have
secured to a Roman G. neral in ihe best '■ days of the
Republic, the honors of a triumph ! lie put an end
to the tV ar in 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.
“ I have Kit the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and ray confidence in him us an febtecomman
der remains unshaken. 1 feel every assurance that
he will at all lures do roe justice; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out tin: .r unfriendly
leelings and acrimonious dislike ; and - o long ns he
continues (as in my humble opinion la h s liilher
to done) tom ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, whicn the forces under
his command will justify, 1 shall iu>i hesitate i-j
unite with toe array m Joestowtng up>n _ruin tnai
confidence which he to richly merits, and wluch has
on no occasion been withheld.”
The Richmond Enquirer said:
“Gen Harrison’s letter tells us everything that
we w ish to know about the .dficcrs, except himself
He does justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must there lose dojusticeto the man who
was too modest to be just to himself.”
/com Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the
Thames :
“Wehave suffered greatly for the want of pro
visions, and the whole army has subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”
$3" “ 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.”
Wm. 11 Harrison.

—May they ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting *N m. II Harrison.
“ General Harnson 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
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man lb cs, whose w hole heart and soul is
pot 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
tomahaw k and scalping knife ! If there he such an
one, lie is a traitor to the country—he posses o es the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Buren cand date for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his lile of Perry published in
1821, alter giving a general biography ol 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 al the
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said ;
“ It mud 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
cool intrepidity of Gen. Ha r rison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support t hese char
actistics ; the disasters attending 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
militm, or a Ibrce 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
Ac. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”

forty years lie has been identified with its interests,
its perils, and its 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. Dining the
late war. tie was linger in actual service than any 7
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 lame and glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy
can assail him, is now summoned ny 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 which encompass it.”
Hr will be her deliverer !
