Col. Richard M. Johnson, nov Vice President of
the United States, said, (m Conj! reas)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The -on of one of the
signers of the Declaration of Ii lependence, who
spent the greater part of his largi ortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, o his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure I ie liberties ol his
country. | _
“ Oft he career of Gen. Hnrnsrl I need not speaK
- the history ofthe West, is his j istory . For forty
years he has been identified wii i its interests, its
perils and ns hopes. Universal, .’ beloved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguish! by his ability in
the councils of his country, he ! ad been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the ield.
“ During the late war, he was 1 uger in active ser
vice than any oi her General offi* r; he was, per
haps, oltener in action than any <ne ot them, and
never sustained a defeat.”
James Madison, in a special mj sage to Congress
December 18, 1811, said, ;
“ While it is deeply lamented > iat so many valu
able lives have been lost in the i ntion which took
place on the 7th ultimo, Congros.4 will see with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of victorious
ly displayed by every descriptior.tif troops engaged,
as wellas the collected firmness v. .ich distinguished
their commandei on an occusior requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and disci 1 time”
James Madison in his Messagt to Congress. No
vember, 1812, said,
“ An ample force from the St; tes of Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virgini: is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, in ler the command
of Brigadier Genera! Harrison, w io possesses the
entire confidence of his fellow soldiers, among
whom are citizens some of them volunteers m the
ranks, not less distinguished by heir political sta
tions than by their personal merii .”
In Mr. Madison's message of 1 cember 1813, the
compliment was extended, as foil .vs :
“ The success on Lake Erie ha ing opened a pas
sage to the territory of the cnem , the officer com
manding the Northwestern arm , transferred the
war thirther, and, rapidly pursuir. the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage as socials,forced a general
action, which quickly terminated in the capture of
the British, and dispersion of tin savage force.
“ This result is signally honon hie to Major Gen
eral Harrison, by whose military alents it was pre
pared.”
The following tribute of praise, -vas paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, by eleven < f the officers who
fought under his banner at the l tile of Tippeca
noe : j
“Should our country again reqi ire our service to
oppose a civilized or a savage foe we should march
under General Harrison with the i mst perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

“ Already is the brow of the yoi' ng warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
, thousands of women and children escued from the
scalping knife ot the ruthless save e of the wilder

In the Legislaiureof Indiana, < t the 12th Nov.

“ Sir—The House of Represent lives of the In

“ 1 (eel no hesitation to declare!) yora that I be

Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gs:| Harrison, July

“ We did not want to serve undecowards or trai

self to be wise, pi udent and brave.'}
Commodore Perry to General garrison, August
JB, 1817,says: I
“ The prompt change made by }|>c in the order of
Battle on discovering the position It the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. 1 COOC ir Wll'l

Honorable Laiigdou Che.es, or the battle of the
Thames.
“ The victory of Harrison, was s chas would have
secured to a Roman General in thi 'est days of the
Republic, the honors of a triumph He put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Cana, a.”
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan:
*' I desire no plaudits which an bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Han son.
“ 1 have lilt the wannest attach lent for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as m ablecomraati
der remains unshaken. 1 foci eve assurance that
he will at all times do me justi e; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal o I their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ;, aid so long as he
continues (as in my humble opine i he has hither
to done) fain ake the wisest am ’ements and the
most judicious disposition, vvhicn *he forces under
his command will justify, I slujl not hesitate to
unite with the array in upon _mm taut
confidence which he so richly merits, and winch .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 officers, except himself
He does justice to every one bat Harrison —and
ihe world must therefore dojuslicoto the man w ho
was too modest to be just to himself.”
From Gen. Harrison’s repoit of the battle of the
Thames :
“We have suffered greatly for the want of pro
visions, and the whole array has subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.
“ In all ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those
who are the least w illing to part with their rights,
and submit themselves to the will ol a master.
Wm. H Harrison.
&S““THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
—Mav they ever remember that to preserve then
liberties, they must do their own voting and then
own fighting v\ m. H. Harrison
“ General Harrison has done more for his conn
try with less compensation for it, than any man
i. President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man li\ cs, whose whole heart and soul 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 to the country —he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.” _ „
John M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov,
in Connecticut, in his lite of Perry published in
1821, after 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 oi the
late w T ar.”
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 arid
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 ol
such cool and steady intrepedity, on the part ol
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 of the
frontiers. ”
An Eloquent Record.

In 1791, when 19 years of age, he was appointed
by Washington an Ensign in our infant army.

On the 24th of August, 1794, he distinguished
himself in the battle ot the Miami, and elicited the
most flattering written approbation of Gen W ayne.
In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed
in command of Fort Washington.
In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams,
Secretary of the North-western Territory and ex
ojjicio 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

On the Ist May, 1813, the seige of Fort Meigs

by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gen. Har
rison.
On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste

On the sth October, 1813, he gained the splendid
victory of the THAMES, over the British and In
dians under Proctor.
In 1814, he was appointed by Madison one of

negotiated a treaty at Detroit.
In 1816, he was elected a member of Congress.

and, in 1829, wrote his immortal letter to Bolivar
the deliverer of South America.
Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke
in the House of Representatives whilst a member
ol that body :
“Os the career of Gen. Harnson, I need not
speak—the history of the west is his history For
forty years he has been identified with its interests,
its penis, and ns hopes. Universally beloved in
j 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, tie was lenger in actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, wftner in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat.”
i>uch 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 hie
to guide ihe councils of the nation, “ and deliver
the country from ihe dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !
