    The Homage ol Justice.
We have compiled, from various sources, the fol
® nwin? disinterested testimonials, which were com
manded Irom 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 enght to give them weight suf
ficient to bear down fti! the petty calumnies and
quibbling objections which party mahgnitymay now
presume to lorge against the war-worn and time
honored potnot and soldier.
q’li,. authorities we present agahist the attacks of
loco foco federalism, and which we have stereotyp
ed as an impregnable barricade against all opposi
tion, are no less than the Congress of the I nited
States, the legislatures of tndiuna,md of Kentucky

Col. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
the United States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is (Jen. Harrison 7 The son of 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 tlren gave, of his “ fortune, life
■and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties of his
country.
“ Ofthe career of Gen. Harrison I need* not speak
the history of the West*, is Ms history. lor forty
years he has Keen identified with its interests, its
perils and its hopes, f niversally beloved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils of his country, he had been yet mure
illustriously dislingu'shed 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
able lives have licen 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 whidh distinguished
their command* i 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 Stales 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
whom are citizens some of them volunteers in the
mnks, 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 Eric having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com
'niandiug the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thirl her, and, tapidly pursuing the hostile troops
tleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly lerrainat- d 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, bj eleven of the officers w'ho
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 tliexnost perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

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

here were two military men in the West,and Gen.
Harrison is the first of the two ”
Message of Simon Snyder, Governor of 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 reseted Irom the
scalping knife ol the ruthless savage of the w ilder
ness, and from the still more savage Proctor, rest on
Harrison and his gallant army.”
In the Legiskn ure of-Indiana,-on the 12th Nov.
1811, the peaker of the Hol.se of Representatives,
(fen. Win. Johnston, thus addressed general Harri
son.
“Sir—The House of Representatives of the In
diana territory, in their own nam°, and in behalf of
their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the
congratulations ol 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 we see displayed in behalf of
our country, not only the consummate abilities of
the general, but the heroism of the man ; and when
we take into view I lie 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 of Repre
%ativcs of the State of Kentucky, in the late cam
paign against the Indians upon the Wabash, Gov.

erate, skillul and gallant conduct in the battle of
Tippecanoe, lie will deserve the warmest thanks
oi his country and his nation
Gen. Anthony Wavnc, in his 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 communica
‘ting my orders in every direction, and by his con

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says :
“ I led no hesitation to declare to you that I be
lieve Gen Harrison to be one of the first military
characters I ever knew."
Col. RichaiC M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, Jaly
4, 1813,says :
“ H e did not leant to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [Harrison] who /tadproved him
self to hi wise, pindent and brave."
Commodore Perry to General ■ Harrison, August
18, 1817, says:
“ The prompt change made by you in the order of
batflevn discovering the position ot the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGRJEK OF MILITARY TALENT. I Cone if With
the venerable Shelby in his general appro! at ion of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon 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 ofthe
'Republic , the honors of a frwmph! He put an end
to the Warm the I'ppvrmost Canada."

The Richmond Enquirer said :
“(Jen Hr.rnson’s letter tells us everything that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He docs 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 want of pro
visions, and the whole army has subsisted, for the
last three days, on haw ef.ef without salt.”

“General Harrison has done more lor his coun
try’, with less compensation tor it, than any man
living.” President .Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said;
“ What man lb cs, whose w hole heart ami soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, trial 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 ! Jf there be such an
one, he is a traitor to the country —he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John 31. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his file of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen- Har
rison, said .-
“ The defence of Foit Meigs, and the subse jnenl
capture of the British army, may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events of llic
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said :
"If must he concede# that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, and upon the
troops by a hum it was achieved.
“ The action, and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony ol the judgement and
cool intrepidity ot Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no m
sla«ce, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances of
such cool and steady intrepedity, on the part of
militia, or a force o-f this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Artel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October Here they
were received with every demonstration ol joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
•fee. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”
An Eloquent Record.
William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on
the 9th of February, 1773.

I most flattering written approbation of Gen Wayne.
In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed
in command of Fort Washington.
In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams,
Secretary of-the North-w estern Territory and ex
officio Lt. Governor.

and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of the .Mili

In 1827,he wfls appointed JVlinistgr to Colombia, j
and, in 1829, wrote his immortal letter to Bolivar
the deliverer of South America.
Os linn Col. Johnson.'Vice President) thus spoke
in the House of Representatives whilst a member
ol that bedy ;
“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 ol 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, fie was Unger in actual service than any
other General Officer; lie was, perhaps, ©finer in
action than any one-tot them, and never sustained a
defeat."
Such is4fhe Tuan, who, still enjoying his untar
nished fame nnd glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence w here 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 the nation, “and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
