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 ■James Madison, Jos.

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.” JOEL COOK, R.

Davis, who was kil led at the battled Tippecanoe, August 24, 1811: “ I make free to declare, that 1 have imagined 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. William Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a patriot and a general; and that for his cool, delib 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 duct and bravery, excinng the t-oops to press for 'victory.” Resolution directing the madals struck, and,Jto he together with the thanks of Congress, presented to Major General Harrison, and Gov.

H. Cr.AV, Speaker of the House o Representatives. John G.ullard, President of the Senate, pro tempore. April 4, 1818.—Approved, Jakes Monroe. 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 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.” iffp- “ in all ages, and in all countries, n has been observed, that the cultivators of tlie soil are those who are the least willing to part with their rights, and submit themselves to the will ot a master.’ Wm.

Harrison. “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. In 1-791, 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 thereafter, was selected by him as one of his Aids. On the 24th of August, 1794, he distinguished himself in the battle ol the Miami, and elicited the 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. In 1793, he was 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 ln . dians. In 1809, he was re-appointed Governor of Indi ana by Madison. On the 7th November, 1811, he gained the great victory of TIPPEC ANOE On the 11th September, 1812, he was appointed by Madison, Commander-in-chief of the North western army. On the Ist May, 1813, the seige of Fort .Meigs •commenced—lasted five days, and was terminated by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gea. 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 fa il ions under Proctor. Jn 1814, he was as pointed by Madison one of the Commissioners to reat with the Indians and in the same year, with his colleague-i Gov. Shelby and «»en. Cass, concluded the celeb.atod treaty of Greenville. Jn 1815, he was again appointed such Commis sioner, with (Jen. Me Arthur and Mr. Graham, and negotiated e treaty at Detroit. la 1816, 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 !lie House of Representatives. Jn 1819, he was elected a member of the Ohio Senate Jn 1824, he was elected Senator m Congress, and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of the .Mili tary Committee,in place of Gen. Jackson, who had resigned 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.” 11k w ill be her deliverer !
