Sentiments of the Here of Fort Stephenson, Col.

I feel eve / assurance that he will at ail times do me justi e; and nothing could give me more pain than to see his enemies seize upon this occasion to deal oi their unlriendly feelings and acrimonious dislike ; nd so long as he continues (as in my humble opinit i he has hither to done) tom ake the wisest arrat jements and the most judicious disposition, which fine forces under his command will justify, I ehai not hesitate to unite with lue army in ocatowng upun £mra iuai confidence which he so richly merits, and which has on no occasion been withheld. ’ The Richmond Enquirer said ; “G en Harrison’s letter tells us every thing that wo wish to know about the officers, except himself. He docs justice to every one but Harrison —and the world must therefore dojustice to ihe man who was too modest to be just to himself.” From 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.’ 20" “ 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 ot a master. ’ Wm.

Harrison. “General Harrison has done more for Ins coun try, with less compensation (or it, than any man living.” President 3ladison. Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in the New Hampshire Patriotsaid : “ 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 bo 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 life of Perry published in 1821, after giving a general biography of'Gcn. Har rison, «aid , “ 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 he conceded that this victory reflected great honor ujion 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 aclistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in stance, been imputable to him. “ There are perhaps on record few instances oi such cool and steady intrepedity, on the part of 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. William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on the 9th of February, 1773. In 1791, when 19 years of age, he was appointed by Washington an Ensign in our infant army. in 1792, he 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 Wayne. 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 1793, he w as chosen a delegate to Congress. ln 1801, he was appointed Governor of Indiana, and in the same year, President Jefferson appointed him sole Commissioner for treating with the In dians. hi 1809, ho 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, 1312, he was appointed by Madison, Commander-In-Chief of the North ’ western army. On the Ist May, 1813, the seige of Fort Meigs I commenced—lasted five days, and was terminated i by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gen. Har rison. On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste phrnson occurred. On the sth October, 1813, he gained the splendid ■ victory of the THAMES, over the British and ln l dians under Proctor. in 1814, ho was appointed by Madison one of the Commissioners to real with the Indians and in the same year, with his colleagues Gov. Shelby and Gen. Cass, concluded the celeb.ated treaty of Greenville. In 1815, he was again appointed such Commis sioner, with G. n. McArthur and Mr. Graham, and negotiated a treaty at Detroit. In ISldjhe 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 Committee, in place of Geu. Jackson, who had resigned In 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia, and, in 1829, wrote Ins immortal letter to Bolivar the deliverer of South America. Ol him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke in the House, ol Representatives whilst a member of that body : “Os the career of Gen. Hamson, I need not speak—the history of the west is his history Fur forty years he has been identified with its interests, its perils, and its hopes. Universally beloved in the walks ol 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, fie was lunger in actual service than any other General Officer ; he was, perhaps, ettner in action than any one of them, and never sustained a defeat." fcuch is the man, who, still enjoying his untar nished lame and glory, and standing on a proud and lofty eminence w here 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.” 11k will be her deliverer !
