Who is (fen. Harrison Jhe son ol one of the
signers of the Declaration of In lepcndence, 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 ol his
country.
«« Ofthe career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
~ the history ofthe West, is his history. For forty
vears he has been identified with its interests, its
perils and tis hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils ol Ins country, lie bad been yet more
illustriously distinguished m the field.
“ During ihe late war, he was longer in active ser
vice man any o' her General officer; he was, per
haps, ottoner in action than any one ol them, and
never sustained a defeat.”
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December IS. 1811, said,
“ While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost m the action which look
place on the 7lh ultimo, Congress will see with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit ol fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description ofiroops engaged,
ns u-ell as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commandoi on an occasion requiring Ihe ut
most exertions of volor and discipline.''
James Madison m his Message to Congress, No
vember, 1812, said,
“ An ample f>rce from the States of Kentucky,
Ohio, 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 1913, the
compliment w as extended, as follows :
“ i he success on Lake Erie having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com
iraading the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war Ihirther,and, lapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates .forced a general
action, which quickly terminated in the capture ol
the British, ami dispersion 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 ol praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1911, bj eleven of the officers who
fought under his banner at the battle, oi Tippeca
noe . ,
“Bhoul6 our country again require our service to
oppose a civilized or a savage foe, we should march
under General Harrison niih the most perfect confi
dence of victory and lame.”

“ Already is the brow of ihe young warrior, Cro

Gen. Anthony Wa\ne, in his letter to the Secre

The Richmond Enquirer said •
“Gen Harrison’s letter tells us everything that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He does justice to every one but Harnson— and
the world must therefore dojnstitfe to ilib titan who
was too modest to be jits I to himself.”
From Geu. 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.”
In nil ages, and in ail cottntftes, if 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 of a master.

“General Harrison has done more for bus coun
try, with le-ss compensation lor it, than an} man
Itving.” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23,1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said;
“ What man Hies, whose whole heart and soul is
i not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
j victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not ft el
j a pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes ol
1 the West, who have treed a country large as the
) Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
| tomahawk and scalping knife ! It there be such an
i 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 hie of Perry published in
1921, alter giving h 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 at the
late war.”
In alluding tothe battle of the Thames, lie said :
“If must be conceded that this victory refected
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 ot the judgement and
cool intrepidity ct Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events ot the campaign support these char
actistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
j stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances ot
| such cool and steady intrepidity, on the pan 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 ot joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers ol the
frontiers. ” %

illustriously distinguished m the field. During the
late war. he was Unger in actual service than any
1 other General Officer; lie was, perhaps, eltner in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
I defeat."

nished lame and glory, and standing on a proud
\ and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy
can assail him, is now summoned r*y his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of ihe nation, “and deliver
ihe country from ihe dangers which encompass it."
He will be her deliverer !!
