Who is Gen. Harrison ? Ihe son of one of the

C °“ OHho career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
_ the history ofthc West, is his history . For forty
vears he has been identified with its interests, its
perils and its hopes Universally beloved in the
walks ot peace, and distinguished by Ins ability m
the councils ot his country, he had been yet more
illustriously distingu'shed in the fie.d.
“ During the lale war, he was longer m active ser
vice than any oiher General officer; lie w as, per
haps, oltener in action than any one ol them, and
never sustained a defeat.”
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, 1811, said,
“ W hile it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost in the action which took
place on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see wiih sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
as well as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commandei on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline.
James Madison in his .Message to Congress, No
venibrr, 1812, said,
*. uniple force from the States ol Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, wiih
the addition of a few regulars, under the command
ol 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 slu
lions than by their personal merits.”
In Mr. Madison’s message of December 1813, the
compliment was extended, as follows :
“ The success on Cake Uric having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer coin
maading the Northwestern arm-, iransterreo the
war t furl her, and, i apidty 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
fared."
The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, bj eleven of the officers who
fought under his banner at the buttle of Tippeca
noe .
“Bhoulu our country again require our service to
oppose a civilized or a savage foe, we should march
under General Harrison wiih the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

*. 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 knileol the ruthless savrge of the wilder

In the Legislaiure of Indiana, on ilie 12ihNov.
1811, the S pcaker ol the House of Representatives,
Gen. Win Johnston, thus addressed general ilarri
-Bon. . T
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 oft lie late sanguinary conflict with tlie 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 the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, for a
moment, withhold «n r meed ol applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved, By the Senate and House oi Rcpre
tatives of the State of Kentucky, in the late cam
paign against tne Indians upon the Wabash, Gov.
W illiam Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a
patriot and a general; and that lor his cool, delib
erate, skilful and gallant conduct in the batile of
'Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest thanks
of his country and his nation.
Gen. Anthony Wa\ne. in his Letter to the Secre
tary of War, giving an official account ol his san
guinary Indian Buttle, in 1792, sain :
“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, exciting the troops to press for
victory.”
Resolution diiectiug the mad ala struck, amkjto be

age, camp eqnippage, and artillery ; and I Hat the
President of the United States bo requested to cause

Isaac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky.
H. Clay,
Speaker of the House o Representatives.
John Gaili.ard,
President of the Senate, pro tempore.
April 4, 1818.—Approved,
James Monroe.
Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says;
“ 1 (eel no hesitation to declare to you that T he
heve Gen Harrison to be one oj the first military
characters I ever knew."
Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813, says:
“ H e did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [Harrison] who hud proved him
self to be wise, pi udent and brave"
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817,says:
“ The prompt change made by you in the order of
batlleon discovering the position of the enemy, lias
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. 1 Cone ir wil‘l
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon Clreves, on the baltle of the
Thames.
“ The victory of Harrison , was such as would have
secured to a Roman General in th • best days uj the
Republic, the honors of a triumph ! He put an end
to the War in the Cppermost Canada."
Sentiments of 'he Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan :
r desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
• 1 have Kit the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him us an able com man
uer remains unshaken. 1 loel every assurance that
he will at ail tm.es do me justice; and nothing
could give rao more pain than to ;ec his enemies
seize UjM>n this occasion to deal out their unfriendly
feelings und acrimonious dislike ; and so long ns he
continues (as in my humble opinion lie hs hither
to done < tom ake the wisest arrangements anti the
most judicious disposition, whim the forces under
bis command will justiiy. I shall not hesitate to
unite w ith tne army ai bestowing upon nan tool
confidence, which he so richly merits, art 1 winch Jlias
on mi occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said :
“Gen fltrrison’s hnmr tells us every thing that
w-e n idi to know about the officers, except himself
He does justice to every ona but Harrison —and
the world must therefore do justice t'M he man who
was too modest to lie 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 lias subsiste :, tbr the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”
{Ft* “ in all ages, and in all countries, it h is 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 ot a master.

.May l hey ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and ibeir
own fighting *Vm. 11. Harrison.
“ General Harrison has done more for Ids coun
try, with less compensation for it, than any man
living.” President Malhson.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23,1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said ;
“ What mrui lb cs, 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 freed a country large as ihe
Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahawk and scalping knife ! 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 Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his life of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gea- Har
rison, said ;
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British army, may be fairly consider
ed the moat brilliant and extraordinary events of the
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, lie said :
“It must be conceded that tins victory reflected
great honor upon Ihe national arms, and 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 those ehar
actistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record lew instances of
such cool and steady intrepidity, on the part of
militia, or a force of tins description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Ariel, and
arrived at F.rie on the 22d of October Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hilled as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”

On the sth October, 1813, he gained the splendid |

dians under Proctor.
In 1814, he was a; pointed by Madison one ol

of that bo ly :
“Os the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not
speak—the history of the west is his history For i
forty years he has been identified with its interests, •
its perils, and ns hopes. Universally beloved in 1
the w alks of peace,and distinguished by bis ability
j in the councils of his country, he has been yet more
i illustriously distinguished in ihe field. During the
j 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."
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 graletui
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of ihe nation, “und deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !

the Oconee river, rny negro man Nelson,
. about twenty live years of age, six feet
high, well proportioned, a little yellow, of a good
countenance, high forehead, ills upper eyeteeth
decayed, which is easily perceived when he talks
or smiles, and has little to say unless spoken to. —
He left my premises cn the 9th of August, and
wore oil" a pair of homespun nankeen pantaloons,
and took off" with him a pair of blue Kentucky
jeans, and a cloth cap. Nelson is a tolerable black
smith, and fond of gambling, and is sure, if taken
up, to deny his name and his owner’s name, as he
has runaway twice before. Once I got him out of
Augusta jail, and once from Charleston, S. C. I
