Shelby to Mr. Madison, Mjy 18, 1814, says: ■ “ 1 leel no hesitation to declare to yds that I be lieve Gen Harrison to be one of the first military characters I ever knew." Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Hqrrison, July 4, 1813,says: j “ IV e did not want to serve under cou.-irds or trai tors ; but under one [ Harrison j who ha.{proved him self to betcise, prudent and brave." ;« Commodore Perry to General Harrikon, August 28, 1817, says : . _||| g|||_ Jg “ The prompt change made by you m the order of hattleon discovering the position ol th ; enemy, has alvvavs appeared to me to have evujeed a high degree of military talent. 1 cone ir wifi the venerable Shelby m tits general approbation of your conduct tn that campaign.” { Honorable Laugdon Chevcs, on the ladle of the ' 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.

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.” 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, be was promoted to the rank of Lieu tenant: and in 1793, joined the legion under Gen. Wayne,and in alew 7 days thereafter, was selected by him as one of life Aids. On the 24th of August, 1794, he distinguished hiraselt in the battle ot the Miami, and elicited the most flattering w ritten approbation of Gen V\ ayne. In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed in command of Fort V\ ashington. In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams, Secretary of the North-western Territory and ex officio Lt. Governor in 1798, he w as 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 the7lh November, 1811, he gained the great victory of TIPPECANOE On the 11th September, 1812, he was appointed by Madison, Commander-in-Chief of the 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 ol Fort Ste phenson occurred. On the sth October, 1813, he gained the splendid victory of the THAMES, over the British and In dians under Proctor. In 1814, lie was appointed by Madison one of the Commissioners to real with the Indians, and in the same 3 ear, with his colleague h (iov. Shelby and Gen. Cass, concluded the celebrated treaty of Greenville. In 1815, he w T as again appointed such Commis sioner, with Gen. Mc Arthur 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 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 Commit tee, 111 place of Gen. Jackson, who had resigned In 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia, and, in 1829, wrote bis immortal letter to Bolivar the deliverer of South America. Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke in the House ot Representatives whilst a member of that body : “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, 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 ! -——nil llll— II ■■■■———na————■—■ imwbm MUi»~ " " “ * IjJOUR 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 Uvo bundled and twelve acres of land, belonging to Joseph H.
