The Homage ol .lustica.
We have compiled, from various sources, the fol
lowing disinterested testimonials, which were com
mander! from their several authors by the lofty pa
triotism, valor, talents and success of General Har
rison, long before he was named for the Presidency
and in times which ©light to give them weight suf
ficient to bear down ail the petty calumnies and
a nibbling objections which party malignitymay now
presume lo forge against, the war-worn and lime
honored potriot and soldier.
The authorities we present against the attacks of
loco foco federalism, and which we have stereotyp
ed as an impiegnable barricade against all opposi
tion, are no less than the Congress of the United
States, the Legi lafures of Indiana, and of Kentucky
James Madison, Jas. Monroe, CoL Richard M. John
son, Anthony Wayne, Langdon Cheves, Simon Sny
der, (lav. Shelby, Com. Perry, Col Croghan, C 01.
Davis, and others, including in the illustrious cata
logue even Thomas Ritchie, Isaac Hill, John M.
Ndes and Moses Dawson !
Col. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
the United States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the
sjf ners of the Declaration of In lependence, who
spent the greater part of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, of his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties of his
country.
“ Os the career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
the history ofthe West, is his history. For forty
years he has been identified with its interests, its
perils and Us hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils of his country, he had been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than 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 so many valu
able lives have been lost in the action which took
|Sace on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
as well as the collected firmness which distinguished
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,
“ An ample force from the States of 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 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 >ft. M adison’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 thirther, and, lapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeingyjVilh thei: savage associatesjorced a general
action, which quickly terminated in the capture of
the British, and disfiersion of the savage 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 paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, bj eleven of the officers who
his banner at the battle of Tippeca
noe.
“Should our country again require our service to
oppo|e a civilized or a savage foe, we should march
under General Harrison with the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

Message of Simon Snyder, Governor cf Penn

l< ‘ Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
thousands of women and ,-hildren rescued from the
scalping knife of the ruthless savage of the wilder
ness, and from the still more savage Proctor, rest on
Harrison and his gallant army.”
In the Legislature of Indiana, on the 12th Nov.
1811, the S peaker of the House of Representatives,
Gen. Wm. Johnston, thus addressed jeneral Harri
son
“ Sir—The House of Representatives of tho In
diana territory, in their own name, and in behalf of
their constituents, most cordially reciprocate ihe
congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
result ofthe late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet, and the tribes of Indians confederated
with him; when we see displayed in behalf of
our country, nor only the consummate abilities of
the general, but the heroism of the man ; and when
we take into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, foi a
moment, withhold oik meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved, By the Senate and House ol Repre
tatives of the State of Kentucky, in Ihe late cam
paign against tne Indians upon the Wabash, Gov.
William Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a
pas not and a general; and that for his cool, delib
erate, skilful and gallant conduct in ihe ballle of
Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest thanks
of las country and his nation
Gen. Anthony Wat ne, in his Letter to the Secre
tary of War, giving an official account of las san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said :
“My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered ihe most essential service, by communica
my orders in every direction, and by his con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
victory.”
Resolution directing the madals struck, ond,Jto be
together with the thanks of Congress, presented
to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby,
and for other purposes.
Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the United Slates of America in Con
gress assembled, That the thanks of Congress
be, and they are hereby, presented to Major Gen
eral William Henry Harnsor , and Isaac Shelby,
late Gov. of Kentucky, and through them, to the of
fleers and men under their command, for their gal
lantry and good conduct in defeating the combined
British and Indian forces under M ajor General Proc
tor, on the Thames, in Upper Canada, on the fifth
day of October, one thousand eight hundred and
thirteen, capturing the British army, with their bag
age, camp equippage, and artillery ; and that the
President of the United States be requested to cause
two gold medals to be struck, emblematic of this
triumph, and be presented to General Harrison and
Isaac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky.
H. Cr.AY,
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
® John Gaillard,
President of the Senate, pro tempore,
April 4, 1818.—Approved,
James Monroe.
Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says:
“ | feel no hesitation to declare to you that I be
here Gen Harrison to be one of the first military
characters I ever knew.”
Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813,says:
“ We. did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [Harrison] who had proved him
self to be wi e, prudent and brave.”
Comnf)dore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817,says:
“ The prompt change made by you in the order of
battle on discovering the position of the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
degree of military talent. I cone ir with
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct m that campaign.”
Honorable Laugdon Cheves, on the battle of the
Thames.
“ The victory of Harrison, was such as would have
secured to a Raman General in the best days oj the
Republic, the honors of a triumph ! He put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada.”
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Siephenson, Col.
Croghan:
‘•1 desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
*• 1 have felt the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. 1 feel every assurance that
he will at all times do me justice; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal our their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues (as in my humble opinion he has hither
to done) to make the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, w Inch the forces under
his command will justify, I shall not hesitate lo
unite with the army in bestowing upon him that
conJidc nee which he so richly merits, ond which has
on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said :
“G en Harrison’s letier 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 therefore dojusticeto the 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 w-ant of pro
visions, and the whole army has subsist©:, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”
£5”“ In all ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators ofthe s >il are those
who are the least willing lo part with their rights,
and submit themselves to the will of a master.”
Wm. H Harrison.
“THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
—May they ever remember that lo preserve ibcir
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting. *Vm. H. Harrison.
*• General Harrison 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 Patiiotsaid :
“ What man In 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 ihe
Empire of Alexander the Great, from ihe 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 life 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 of the
late war.”
Jn 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 teas achieved.
“ The action, and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidily cf (Jen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
aclistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been impulable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances of
such cool and steady intrepidity, on ihe 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
<fec. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”

speak—the history of the west i4BPffastory For
forty years ho has been identified w ith 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, he 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 fame 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 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.”
He will be her deliverer !!
