“Os the career of Gen. Harris'>n I neeo not speak
_ the history oft lie West, is his; history. For forty
vears he has been identified wttti its interests, its
perils and ns hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils ol his country, he had been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field.
« Lhiring*the late war, he wa ß longer in active ser
vice than any o'her General officer; he was, 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,
“ While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost in the faction w hich 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,
ax well as the collet ted 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
vember, 181*2, said,
“ An ample force from the Sialrs of Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, tinder the command
of Brigadier General Harrison, ivhe possesses the
entire confidence of his fellow soldiers, among
whom are citizens some of therb volunteers in the
ranks, 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 Ene having opened a pas
saged the territory of the enemy, the officer com
manding the Northwestern ar,bs, transferred the
war thiriher, and, rapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with I heir savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminat'd in the capture of
the British, and dispersion of tjie savage force.
“ This result is signally honorable to Major Gen
eral Hamson, by ichose military talents it was pre-

Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest thanks
of bis country and his nation.
Gen. Anthony Wayne, in his Letter to the Secre
tary of War,giving an official account ol his san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said :
“My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered ihe most essential service, by communica
ling my orders in every direction, and by his con

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Maditon, May 18, 1814,
says :
“ 1 leel 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 under one [ Harrison J who hud proved him
self to be wise, ptudent and brave."
Commodore Perry to GenenJ Harrison, August
18, 1817, says:
“ The prompt change made by you in the order of
battle on discovering the position of the enemy, has
always appeared to me to hat e evinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALEtST. 1 Cone ir with
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 a Human General in the best days of the
Republic, the honors of a triumph ! He put an end
to the VI ar in the Uppermost Canada."
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan :
1 desire no plaudits which are beslovved upon
me at the expense ol General Harrison.
1 have ft It the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him us an able comman
der remains unshaken 1 feet every assurance that
he will at all times do me justice ; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal: out their unlriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long ns he
continues (as in my humble opinion he has hither
to done) tom ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, whicn the forces under
his command will justify, ] shall not hesitate to
unite with tne army jo oestowing upon k nun tnat
confidence which he so richly merits, and which Jhas
on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said :
“Gen Harrison’s letter tells us everything that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He docs justice to every one but Harmon— and
the world must therefore dojusltce to the man who
u as too modest io be just to himself.”
c'roni Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the
Thames: , c
“W T e 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.’
SC7““ In all ages, and in all countries, it has lieen
observed, that the cultivators of tlie sot! are those
wito are the least willing to part with their rights,
and submit themselves to the will of a master.

—>lay they ever remember that lo preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting Wm. H Harrison.
“General Harmon 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 Patriot said :
“ What man In cs, whose whole heart and sou! 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
ihe West who have freed 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 the country —he possesses the
i spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
j in Connecticut, in his lite of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography ol 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 A 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, 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,
1 all the events of the campaign support these char
i actistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no m
! stance, been imputable to him.
I “ There are perhaps on record few instances of
such cool and steady intrepedity, on the part of
1 militia, or a force of this description, as was display -
j ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Ferry left Detroit in the Ariel, and
i arrived at Erie on the 22d of October. Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
• &c. They were hailed as the deliverers ol the
frontiers.”

On the 31st July*, *Bl3, the battle of Fort Ste

negotiated a treaty at Detroit. ,
in 1816, he was elected a member of Congress.

“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 of peace, and distinguished by ins 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; he was, perhaps, wittier in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
Such 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 bun, is now summoned by 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.”

TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD.
RANAWAV from the subscriber,living
jSi in Morgan county, near Park’s Biidge, on
the Oconee river, my negro man Nelson,
Mfcnw about twenty five years of age, six Jeet
high, well proportioned, a little yellow, of a good
countenance, high forehead, his upper eye teeth
decayed, which is easily perceived when he talks
or smiles, and has little to say unless spoken to. —
He left my premises cn the 9lh of August, and
wore off a pair of homespun nankeen pantaloons,
and took oil 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, 8. C. I
purchased him from Benj. Davis in Hamburg.
Any information will be thankfully received, and
the above reward will be paid for his lodgment in
any jail so that I get him.
