The Homage of Jnstioo. We have compiled, from various sources, the fol lowing disinterested testimonials, which were com manded from their several authors hy the lofty pa triotism, valor, talents and success of General Har rist>n, long before he was named for the Presidency and in times which eiicht to give them weight suf ficient to hear down all the petty calumnies and quibbling objections which party mahgmtymay now presume 10 forge against the war-worn and time honored pot riot, and soldier. Tin- authorities we present against the attacks of loco loco federalism, and which wo have stereotyp ed as an impiegnable barricade against ail opposi tion, arc no less than the Congress of ih“ United States, the Legislatures of Indiana, rnd of Kentucky James Madison, Jus. Monroe , Col. Richard M. John son, Anthony Wayne, Lang don Chtues, Sinw < Sny der, Gov. Shelby, Corn. Perry, Col. Croghan, Col. Davis, and others, including in the illustrious cata logue even Thomas Rit hie, Isaac Hill , John M. Niles and Moses Dau'son ! Col. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President of the Untied States, said, (in Congress)— Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, who spent ihe 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. “ Oft he career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak the history oflhe West, is his history. For forty years he has been identified vvirh 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, lie had been yet more illustriously chstingu’shed in the field. “ During the late w ar, he w as longer in active ser vice than any o'her General officer; he was, per haps, oftener in action than any one ol 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 look place 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 commander on on occasion requiring the ut most exertions of valor and discipline." James Madison in bis Message to Congress, No vember, 1812, said, “ An ample force from the Stales ot Kentucky, CFSo, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with the addition of a few regulars, under the command of Brigadier General Harrison, who possesses the entire confidence of his fellow’ soldiers, among w hom 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 : “ 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,iapidly pursuing the hostile troops fleeing with then savage associates,forced a general action, which quickly terminated in the capture of the British, and dispersion of tiie savage force. “ This result is signally honorable to Major Gen eral Harrison, by whose military talents it teas pre pared." The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen eral Harrison, in 1811, by eleven of the officers who fought under his banner at the battle of Tippeca noe . “Should our country again require our service to oppose a civilized or a savage foe, we should march under General Harrison with the most perfect confi dence of victory and fame.” JOEL COOK, R. B. BURTON, NATHAN ADAMS, A. HAWKINS, H. BURCHSTEAD, HOSEA BLOOD, JOSIA SNEERING, O. G. BURTON, C. FULLER, G GOODING, J. D. FOSTER. Extract of a letter from Col. Davis, who was kil led at the battle of Tippecanoe, August 24, 1811: “I make free to declare, that 1 have imagined there were two military men in the West,and Gen. Harrison is the first of the two ” Message of Simon Snyder, Governor cf Penn sylvania, December 10, 1813 “ Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro ghan, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of thousands of w omen and children rescued from the scalping knife ot 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 ihc 12th Nov. 1811, the 8 peaker of the House of Repiesentatives, Gen. Win. Johnston, thus addressed jieneral Harri son. “Sir—The House cf Representatives of the In diana territory, in their own name, and in behalf of their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw nee Prophet, and the tribes ot Indians confederated with him; when wo see displayed in behalf ot our country, not 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, for a moment, withhold oik meed of applause.” Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812. “ Resolved, By the Senate and House ot Kepre tatives of the State of Kentucky, in the late cam paign against the Indians upon the Wabash, Gov. William Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a patriot and a general; and that for his cool, delib erate, skilful and gallant conduct in the battle of Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest thanks of his country and his nation. Gen. Anthony Wayne, in his Letter to the Secre tary of War, giving an official account of his san guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said : C “My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison rendered the most essential service, by coramunica my orders in every direction, and bv his con duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for victory.” Resolution directing the madals struck, and,!to he 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 States of America in Con gress assembled, That tlie thanks of Congress be, and* they are hereby, presented to Major Gen eral William Henry Harrisor. and Isaac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky, and through them, to the of ficers and men under their command, for their gal lantry and good conduct in defeating the combined British and Indian forces under Major 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 oi 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. Clay, Speaker of the House o Representatives. John Gaillard, President of the Senate, pro tempore, April 4, 1818.—Approved, James Monroe. Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814, says : “ ] leel no hesitation to declare to you that I be lieve 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 hadproved him self to be wise, prudent and brave." Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August 18, 1817, says: “ The prompt change made hy you in the order of battle on discovering the position oi the enemy, has always appeared to me to have evinced a high DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. I COIIC ir with the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of your conduct in that campaign.” Honorable Laugdun Cheves, on the battle of the Thames. . “ The victory of Harrison, was such as would have secured to a Roman General in the best days of the Republic, the honors of a triumph ! lie put an end to the War in the Uppermost Canada. ’ Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col. Croghan : ‘1 desire no plaudits which arc bestowed upon me at the expense of General Harrison. “ I have Lit the warmest attachment for him as a man, and rny confidence in him as an able comman der remains unshaken. I feel every assurance I hat 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 out their uniriendly feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he continues (as in tny humble opinion be has liiiber lo done) torn ake the wisest arrangements and the most judicious disposition, which the forces under his command will justify, I shall not hesitate to unite with the army in bestowing upon him that Icnnjulenre which he so richly merits, and which lias on no occasion been withheld.” The Richmond Enquirer said : “Gen Harrison’s Jetier tells us everything that wo wish to know about the officers, except himself. He does justice to every one but Harrison —and the world must therefore dojusticeto tlie 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 w hole army has subsisted, for the last three days, on raw beef without salt.” £3* “ In all ages, and in all countries, it lias 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 of a master.” Wm. H Harrison. 83“ “THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES —May they ever remember that to preserve their liberties, they must do their own voting and their own fighting VVm. 11. 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 Patriot said: “ What man In os, whose whole heart and sou! is not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not fee! a pride iti 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, be 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 lile of Perry published in 1821, after giving a general biography of Gen Har rison, said . “ The defence of Fort Meigs, anil 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 ; “If must be conceded that this victory reflected great honor upon the national arms , and upon the troops by whom it was achieved. “ The set ion. and the movements w hich preceded it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and cool intrepidity cf 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 of such cool and steady intrepidity, on the part of miiitia, or a three 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. Hero 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 fhli of February, 1773. In 1791, w hen 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 thereat ter, was selected by him as one of his Aids. On the 241 h of August, 179 f, ho 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 W ashingfon. 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. 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 the 7th November, 1811, ho gained the great victory of TIPPECANOE On the Ilih September, 1812, he was appointed by Madison, Commander-iii-Chief of the North western army. On the Ist May, 1813, the scige of Fort Meigs commenced —lasted five days, and was terminated by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gen. Har rison. On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of 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, he was ap pointed 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 celebrated treaty of Greenville. In 1815, he was again appointed such Commis sioner, with Gen. McArthur and Mr. Graham, and negotiated a treaty at Detroit. In 1810, 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 Representalives. In 1819, he was elected a member of the Ohio Senate, Jn 1824, he was elected Senator in Congress, and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of the Mili tary Committee,in place of Gen. Jackson, who had resigned In 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia, 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. Harrison, I need not speak—the history of the west is his history For forty years he 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 ihe field. Daring the late war, he was huger in actual service than any other General Officer ; ho was, perhaps, Miner 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 hy his grateful countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life to guide the councils of t lie nation, “and deliver the country from the dangers which encompass it.” He will be her deliverer !!
