For forty years he has been identified with its interests its perils and u« hopes Universally Gloved ™' the walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability in the councils of his country, he had been yet more illustriously distingu ; 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, m While it is deeply lamented that so many valu able lives have been lost in the action which took place on the 7ih ulsimo, Congress will see with sat isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious ly displayed by every description of troops engaged, us well us the collected firmness which distinguished their commandet on an occasion requiring the ut most exertions of valor avd 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. Madi son’s message of December 1813, the compliment was extended, as follows : “ The success on Hake Erie having opened a pas sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com manding the Northwestern arms, transferred the war thin her, and, inpidly 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 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, hj 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.

Win Johnston, thus addressed lenenl Harri son. ** Sir—The House of Representatives of tho In diana territory, in their own name, and in behalf of their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the congratulations ol your Excellency on the glorious result oft he 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 oi the general, but the 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 me meed of applause.” legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812. “ Resolved, By the Senate and House ol Kepre tatives of the State oi 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 lor his cool, delib erate, skilful and gallant conduct in ihe battle of Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest thanks of Ins country and his nation. Gen. Anthony Wa\no, in his Letter to the Secre tary of War, giving an official account of his san guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said ; “Mv faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison rendered ihe most essential service, by communica tin* my orders in every direction, and by his con duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for victory.” Resolution directing the inadals struck, and.Jto be together with the thanks of Congress, presented to Major General Harrison, and Gov.

H. Cr.AV, Speaker of the House o Representatives. John Gaillard, President ol the Senate, pro tempore. April 4, 1818. Approved, James Monroe. Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814, says : “ I 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, J uly 4, 1813,says: “ We did not want to serve under cowards or trai tors ; but wider one [Harrison] who had proved him self to he wise, ptudent and brave." Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August IS, 1817,says: “ The prompt change made by you in the ord> r of battle on discovering the position of the enemy, has always appeared to me to have evinced a high degree of military talent. 1 cone ir wifi the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of your conduct in that campaign.” Honorable Laugdon Cheves, on the battle of the Thames. “ The victory of Harrison, was such as would have secured to u R t.-nan General in the best days oj the @ Republic, the honor* of a triumph ! He put an end to the IV ar in tht I ppennost Canada." Sentiments ol the IL-roof Fort Stephenson. Col. Croghan ; J desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon me at the expense of General Harrison. “ I have hit the warmest attachment for him as a man, and ray confidence ui him as an abiecominan der remains unshaken, ifeel every assurance that he will at ail times do me justice; and nothing could give mo more pain than to see his enemies seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriendly leelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he continues (as in my humble opinion he h s hither to done Ham ake t tie wisest arrangements and the most judicious disposition, which toe forces under his command will justify, I shall not hesitate io unite a ith tne army tn oestowmg upon rum that confidence which he so richly merits, and which '.has < on no occasion been withheld. The Richmond Enquirer said: “G en Harrison’s letter tells us every thing that we wisli to know about the officers, except himself. lie does justice to every one but Harrison —and the world must therefore do justice to the man who . was too modest to he just to himself. prom Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the Thames : “We have suffered greatly for the want ol pro visions, and the whole army has subsisted, for the last three days, on raw beef without salt. 55“ “ 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.

Harrison. “General Harrison has done more for his coun try with less compensation for it, than any man livin'*.” President Madison. Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in the New Hampshire Patriot sad : »» vV’hat man lives, 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 Irted a country large as the Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian tomahawk and scalping knife ! If there be such an one, he is a traitor to tho country —he possesses the spirit of a murderer.” John M. Niles, late Van Daren candidate for Gov. in Connecticut, in his lite of Perry published m 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, anil upon the troops by whom it was achieved. “ The action.and the movements which preceded it, afforded ample testimony of ihe judgement and cool intrepidity cf Gen. Harrison; and, indeed, all the events of the campaign support these char actislics ; the disasters aitending it having, in no in stance, been imputable to him. “ There are perhaps on record few instances of such cool and steady intrepidity, on tpe part of militia, or a force of ibis description, as was display ed on this occasion. “ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Ariel, and arrived at Erie on the 22d ol October. Here they were received with every demonstration ol joy and admiration; the discharge ol cannon, illuminations <fec. 'They were hailed as the deliverers oi the frontiers. ” An Eloquent Record. William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on the 9tb of February, 1773. In 1791, when 19 years of age, he w r as 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 few days thereafter, was selected by him as one of his Aids. On the 24th of August, 1794, lie distinguished himself in the bailie of the Miami, and elicited the most flattering w ritten approbation of Gen Wayne. In 1795, lie was made a Captain, and was placed in command of Fort Washington. In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams, Secretary of the North-western Territory and ex ojficio 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 Jeffer»on appointed him sole Commissioner for treating with the In dians. In 1809, lie was re-appointed Governor of Indi ana by Madison. On the7th November, 1811, he gained the great victory of TIPPECANOE On the lllh September, 1812, he was appointed by Madison, Coinmander-in-Chief of the North western array. On the Ist May, 1813, the seige of Fort Meigs commenced —lasted five days, and was terminated by ihe brilliant and successful sortie of Gea. Har rison. On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste phenson occurred. Ou the sth October, 1813, lie gained the splendid victory of the THAMES, over the Briiish and In dians under Proctor. In 1814, lie was a; pointed by Madison one of the Commissioners to rear with the Indians, and in the same year, with his colleague! Gov. Shelby and Gen. Cass, concluded the celeb.aled treaty of Greenville. In 1815, ho was again appointed such Commis sioner, with Gen. Me Arthur and Mr. Graham, and negotiated a treaty at Detroit. In 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 ihe House of Representatives. In 1819, he was elected a member of the Ohio Senate In 1821, he was elected Senator in Congress, and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of the Mili tary Committee, in place of Gen. Jackson, who had resigned In 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia, and, iu 1829, wrote his immortal letier to Bolivar the deliverer of South America. Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke in the House of Representatives whilst a member ol that body : “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 ns hopes. Universally beloved in the walks of peace,and distinguished by his ability in the councils of his country,he has been yet more illustriously distinguished in ihe field. During the late war, ho was Huger in actual service than any other General Officer; he was, perhaps, oftner in action than any one of them, and never sustained a ilefeat." B>uch is the man, who, still 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 r»} r his grateful countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life to guide the councils of ihe nation, “and deliver the country from the dangers which encompass it.” He will re her deliverer !
