The Homage, of Justice.
We have compiled, from various sources, the fol
lowing disinterested testimonials, which were com-
T mended from their several authors by the loify pa
ir '* tnotism, valor, talents and success of General Har
rison, lung before he was named for the I residency
and in times which ought to give them weight eu -

quibbling object ions whi* party mahgnityraay now
presume to forge againss the war-worn and time
honored pot riot and soldier.
The authorities we present against the attacks ot
loco foco federalism, and which we have stereotyp
ed as an impiegnahle barricade against all oppo fi *:

States , the Legislatures of Indiana, and ot - ff' tuKy

Co! Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
the United States, said. ( n Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison J he son ot one ot ine
signers of the Declaration of Independence, who
spent the greater part of Ids 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 Gon. Harrison I need not speak
the history oftlie West, is his history. Tor 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, lie had been yd more
illustriously distinguished in the field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than any other General officer; he was, per
haps, oltener in action than any one of them, and
never sustained a defeat.”
Same* 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 ihe action which look
place on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see w hh sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
os wellas the collected firmness which distinguished
their commandei on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline.' 1
James Madison in his Message to Congress, No
vember, 1812, said,
“An ample force from tho States ot Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, under the command
of Brigadier General Harris on, 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, os follows :
“ The success on Lake Erie having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com
maadiug the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thtrther, and,iapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminal- d in the capture of
the British, and dispersion elf the savage force.
“ This result is signally honorable, to Major Gen •
cral Harrison, by whose military talents it was pre
pared."
The following tribute of p-aise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, bj 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 inarch
under General Harrison with the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame ”

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 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 ol Indiana, on the l2thNov.
1811, the S pcaker of the House of Representatives,
Geu. Wra. JohnsCbn, thus addressed general Harri
son.
“ Sir—The House of 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 of Indians confederated
with him; when wo see displayed in behalf of
our country, not only the consummate abilities of
the general, hut the heroism of the man ; and when
we take into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, fbi a
moment, w ithhold oik meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky , January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre
tativesof 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 Wavne, inhis Letter to the Seore
inty of War, g ving an official account of his san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said ;
“My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered the most essential service, by communica
ting my orders in every direclior , and by his con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
victory.”
Resolution directing the madals ‘struck, and,Jto be
together with the thanks of Congress, presented
to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby,
and for -cjier 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

British and Indian son-es under Mcjor 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 hag
age, camp equippage, and artillery ; and that the
President ol the United States he 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.

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814.
says :
“ J loci na hesitation to declare to you that I be
& heve Gen Harrison to be one of fae fist military
characters I ever knew."
Col. Richaid M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813, says;
“ We did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [Harrisunt who had proved him
self to be wise, prudent aud brave."
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
IS, 1817,sa>s:
“ The prompt change made by yoq in the order of
battle on discovering the position of the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE Os MILITARY TALENT. I COIIC ir With
the venerable Shelby : n his general approbation of
your conduct m that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle of the
Thamts.
“ The victory of Harrison, was such as would have
secured to a Roman General in thcbist days oj the
Republic, the honors of a triumph ! He put an end
to the War m the Uppermost Canada!'
Sentiments ot the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan :
1 desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
meat the expense of General Harrist n.
“ 1 have f. It the w armest attachment for him as a
man, ami my confidence in him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. I feel every assurance that
he will at all limes do me justice; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues (as in my humble opinion he lc\s hither
to done) t>m ake the wisest, arrangements and tho
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
his command will justify, 1 shall not hesitate io
unite with the ai my in bestowing upon min tna r
confidence which he so ncJhyntcnis, and which has
on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmubd Enpu.rcr said: . .. \
“Gen Harrison’s letter tells us everything that
we wish to know aboutthe officers, except himself.
He does justice to every one but Harrison— and
the world must therefore dojusticeto the man who
was too modest to b» just to hiffTsc#.”
From Gen. Harrison’s report ot ine battle of the
Thames :
“W> have suffered greatly for the want of pro
visions, and the whole army hhs subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”
OCT" “ 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 ol a master.”
Wm. H Harrison.
3Ct*“TIIE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
—May they ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting vV m. 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 Patriot said :
“ What man li\ cs, whose whole heart and soul is
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 treed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahawk and scalping knife 1 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 Burert candidate for Goyl
in Connecticut, in his lite of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen Har
rison, said :
“Thedefence of Fort Meigs, and thesubseauent
capture of the British array, may he fairly consider
ed the moat brilliant and extraordinary events of the
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said :
“Jt must ■ be-conceded, that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, ana 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 of
shell cool and steady intrepidity, 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
Ac. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”

forty years he has been identified with its interests,
its penis, and its hopes. Universally beloved in (
the walks ol peace,and distinguished by his ability
in (lie councils of his country,he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field. During the !
late war, lie was Huger in actual service than any ,
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, oftner in
action than any one ot them, and never sustained a
defeat."
Such is the man, who, still enjoying his untar
nished lame 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 '■ouucils of the nation, “aud deliver
the country from ihe dangers which encompass it.”
