The Homage of Justice.
We have compiled, from various sources, the fol
lowine disinterested testimonials, which were com
manded from their several authors by the lofty pa
triotism, valor, talents and success of Generall Har
rison, long before he was named for the Presidency
and in times which ought to give them weight su -
ficient to bear down all the petty calumnies and
quibbling objections which party malign itymay now
presume Io forge against ihe war-worn and time
honored potriot and soldier. f
ZThe authorises we present against the attacks 01
loco foco federalism, and which we have stereotyp
ed as an impregnable barricade ag insl all opposi
tion, are no less than the Congress oj the United
States, the Legislatures of Indiana, and of - y
James Madison, Jos. Monroe, Col Richard M. John.

S .fWolmson, now Vice President of
the United States, said, (in Congress)-
Who is Gen. Harrison ? Ihe son of one of the
Signers of the Declaration of Independence, 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 1 need not speak
- the history ofthe West, is his history. For forty
vears he has been identified with its interests, its
perils and its hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by Ins ability in
the councils of his country, he had besn 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 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
-4 able lives have been lost in the action which took
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 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 ol 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
whom 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
maiding the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thirlhcr,and,iapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminated in the capture of
the British, and 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 of praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, b] 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.”

Extract of a letter from Col. Davis, who was kil

“ I make free to declare, that 1 have imagined
there were two military men in the West, and Gen.
Harrison is the first of ihe 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 women and children 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 8 peaker of the House of Representatives,
Gen. Wm Johnston, thus addressed General Harri
son
“ Sir—The House <4 Representatives of the 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 of ihe 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, noi only the consummate abilities of
the general, but the heroism of the man ; and when
we take into view the benefits which m ist result to
that country from those exertions, *ve cannot, for a
moment, w ithhold on * meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre
tativesoflhe State of Kentucky, in the late cam
paign against the Indians upon the W abash, 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 wan test thanks
of his country and his nation
Gen. Anthony Wa\ne, in bis Letter to the Secre
tary of War, giving an official account of his san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792,said ;
“My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered the most essential service, by commanica
ting my orders in every direction, and by his con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
victory.”
Resolution directing the madals struck, andjlo be
together with the thanks of Congress, presented
to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby,
and for mjier purposes.
Resolved, “By the Senate and Hous? 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 Henri - 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
■ator, 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 Slates 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. Ci.ay,
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 :
“ 1 leel no hesitation to declare to you that I be
lieve Gen Harrison to he one of the first military
characters I ever knew.”
Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, Jalv
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 wise, prudent and brave ”
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
9 18, 1817,says:
“ The prompt change made by you in the order of
battle on discovering the position of the enemy, lias
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE OK MILITARY TALENT. 1 Cone It With
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Laugdon Cheves, on (he battle of the
Thames.
“ The victory of Harrison, was such os would have
secured to a Roman General in the best days of the
public, the honors of a triumph ! He put an end
to the \Varin the Uppermost Canada.”

‘•1 desire no p! and its which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison
“ 1 ha T e Ull the . attachment for him as a
man, and ray confidence in him us an able comman
der remains unshaken. 1 feel every assurance that
he wili at all times do me justice ; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see his em-muS
® seize upon ibis occasion f deal out their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues (as in my humble opinion he has hither
to done) tom ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
his command will justify, I shall not hesitate to
unite with tne army in oestowing upon nim that
conjtdenre which hesb richly merits , and which has
on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said :
tig gjj Harrison’s letter tells us every thing that
WP wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He does justice to every one but Harrison- and
the world must therefore do justice to 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 want of pro
visions, and the whole array has subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”
Dir “ 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 of a master.”
Wm. H Harrison.
Dir “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. m. 11. Harrison.
“ General Harrison has done more for his coun
try, with less compensation for it, than any man
l lv i,„T.” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23,1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man liv 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 gulping 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 of the
late war.”
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 and
cool intrepidity of Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actislics ; 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 intrepidity, on the part of
militia, or a force of this description, us was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the xAnel, 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.”

countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of the nation, “and deliver
