Harrison I need not speak - the history ofthe West, is his history. For forty vears he has been identified with its in,erests, its perils and Us hopes. Universally beloved in the walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability in the councils of his country, he had been yet moie 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, oflener in action than any one ot them, and never sustained a defeat. James Madison, in a special message to Congress December IS, 1811, said, u While it is deeply lamented that so many valu able lives have been lost in the action which look place on the 7lh ultimo, Congress w ill see with sat isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious ly displayed by every description of troops engaged, as mil a* the collected firmness which distinguished their commando on an occasion requiring the ut. most exertions of valor and discipline.’ James Madison in bis Message to Congress, No vember, 1812, said, “An ample force 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 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 n ''fits.’' 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 manding the Northwestern arms, transferred the war lliirther,and,iapidly pursuing the hostile troops fleeing with then savage associates,forced a general action, which quickly terminal'd in the capture of the British, and dispersion of the savage force. “ This result is siynally honorable to Major Gen eral Harrison, by whose military talents it was pre pared." The following tribute of praise vyas 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 march under General Harrison with the most perfect confi dence of victory and fame.” JOEL COOK, U.

Davis, who was kil led atilie battled Tippecanoe, August 24, 1811: “1 make free to declare, (hai 1 have imagined ih ro were two military men in the West,and Gen. Harrison is the first of ilie two ” Message of Simon Snyder, Governor cf Penn sylvania, December 10, 1813 “ Already is the brow of ihe young warrior, Cro ghan,encircled with laurels, and the blessings of thousands of women and . hildren rescued from the scalping knife of the rmhless savage of the wilder ness, and from ihe still more savage Proclor, rest on Harrison and bis gallant array.” In the Legislai ure of Indiana, on the 12th Nov. 1811,ihe Speaker of the House of Representatives, Gcu. Wm. Johnston, 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 ofthe late sanguinary conflict with the Sha wnee Prophet, and ilie tribes ot Indians confederated with him; when wo see displayed in behalf of our country, no only the consummate abilities of the general, but I he heroism of the man ; and when we take into view the 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 tatives of the S'nteof Kentucky, in ihe late cam paign against lue Indians upon ilic 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 1 lie battle of Tippecanoe, he will deserve tHe warmest thanks of his country and his nation Gen. Anthony Way tie, 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 ihe most essential service, by communica ting my orders in every direction, and by his con duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press lor victory.” Resolution directing the inadals struck, and,Jto be together with the thanks of Congress, presented to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby, and for other purposes. Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre sentatives of the United Stales of America in Con gress assembled, That the 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 lantry and good conduct in defeating the combined British and Indian forces under Major General Proc tor, on ihe 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 ot the United States be requested to cause two gold medals to be struck, emblematic of this triumph, ami be presented lo General Harrison and Isaac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky H. Clay, BpeaKer 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 feel no hesitation to declare to you that I be lieve Gen Harrison to be one of the first military characters I ever knew." Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July 4, 1813,says: “ We did not want to serve under cowards or trai tors ; but tinier one [ Harrison] who had proved him self to be wise, prudent and brave.” Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August 13, 1817, says: “ The prompt changeraade by you in the order of battle on discovering the position ut the enemy, has always appeared to me to have evinced a high DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. I COHC ir with the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of your conduct in that campaign.” Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle of the Thames. “ I fl f victory of Harrison, was such as would have secured to a Roman General in the best days of the Kcpublu , the honors of a triumph ! He put an end to the \\ ar m the Uppermost Canada." Croriia*,? ICnls ot ero Fort Stephenson,Col. “ 1 desire no plaudits which are bestow ed upon me at lh ■ expense of General Harrison ? I have Lit ihe warmest attach mom for him as a man, and mv confidence in him as an „K, ti , f. . * Js able com man der remains unshaken. 1 feel every a Vi. he will at all times do me justice; and could give mem >-e pain than to s ee hts emim<S seize upon tins occasion to deal out their uulrienhly feelings and acrimonious disliKe : and so long as he continues (as in my humble opinion he has hither to donet t>m ake the wisest arrangements and the moat judicious disposition, which the forces under his command will justify. I shall not hesitate to unite w ith tne army in oestowing upon nun tnai confidence which he so richly merits, and wh ch |hat on no occasion been withheld. _ The Richmond Enquirer said : Hamsun's luitpr tells us every thing thflt we wish to know about the officers, except himself He docs justice to every one but Harmon—and the world must therefore dojustice to the man who was too modest to be just to himself.” /rom (Jen. 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 lasi three days, on haw beef without salt. “ In all ages, and in all countries, it has been observed, that the cultivators oflhe soil are those who are the least willing lo part with their righis, and submit themselves to the will of a master. Wm. H Harrison. 3Cr t; TIIE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES May they ever remember that lo preserve their liberties, they must do their own voting and their own fighting A “- 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 Patriol said : “ What man Incs, whose w hole heart and soul is not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in ihe 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 couniry large as the Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian tomahawk and scalping knife ! If there be such on one, lie is a traitor to the country—he possesses the spirit of a murderer.” John M. Niles, late Van Duren candidate (or v*o\ . 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.” fn 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 ol the judgement and cool intrepidity of Gen. Harrison; and, indeed, ail the events of the campaign support these char aclislics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in stance, been imputable lo him. “ There are perhaps on record fe v instances of such 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 ol joy and admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations &c. 'They were hailed as the deliverers ot the frontiers.” An Eloquent Record. William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on the 9ih of February, 1773. In 1791, when 19 years of age, lie 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. W’ayne, and in alew r days thereat ter, was selected by him as one of his Aids. ’On ihe 241 h of August, 1791, he distinguished himself in the battle of the Miami and elicited the 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 appnmied, by President Adams, Secretary of the North-western Territory and ex officio Lt. Governor In 1798, lie was chosen a delegate to Congress. In 1801, he was appointed Governor of Indiana, and in the same year, President Jeffer>on appointed him sole Commissioner for treating with the In dians. i In 1809, he was re-appointed Governor of Indi ana by Madison. On the 7th November, 1811, lie gained the great victory of TIPPECANOE j 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 live days, and was terminated by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gea. Har rison. Onthe3lsl July, 5813, the battle of Fort Ste phenson occurred. On the sth October, 1813, he gained the splendid victory of the THAMES, over the BriiKh and In dians under Proctor. in 1814, lie was as pointed by Madison one of the Commissioners lo reat with the Indians and in the same year, with his colleagues Gov. Shelby and Gen. Cass, concluded the ceiebiOled t reaty of Greenville. In 1815, lie was again appointed such Commis sioner, with Gen. McArthur and Mr. Graham, and negotiated a treaty at Detroit. In 18KJ, he was elected a member of Congress. In January, 1818, he introduced a resolution in honor of Kosciusko, and supported it in one ofthe most feeling, classical and eloquent speeches ever delivered in ihe House ol Representalives. In 1819, he was elected a member of the Ohio Senals In 1324, he was elected Senator in Congress, and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of ihe Mili tary Committee, in place of Gen. Jackson, who had resigned In 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia, and, in 1829, wrole his immortal leaer to Bolivar tlie deliverer of Souih America. Ol him Col. Johnson (Vice Tresidenl) thus spoke in the House ol Representalives whilst a member ol that body : “Os die career of Gen. Harrison, I need not speak—the history of the west is his history For forty years he inis been identified with its interests, its perils, and us hopes. Universally beloved in i tiie walks ol peace,and distinguished by his abilily i in t lie courciis of Ins country, he lias been yet more I illustriously distinguished in ihe field. During the | late war, he was Unger in actual service than any other General Officer; he was, perhaps, ofmer in action than any one of them, and never sustained a defeat." Buch is the man, who, siill enjoying his untar nished fame and glory, and standing on a proud and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy can assail him, is now summoned ny his grateful countrymen lo leave the quiet walks of private life lo guide the councils of the nation, “and deliver the couniry from the dangers which encompass it ” He will be her deliverer !
