Thcj son of one of the signers of the Declaration of Ik lependence, who spent me greater part of his large fortune in redeem ing the pledge he .lien gave, tis his “ fortune, life and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties of his country. “ Os the career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak - the history oft he West, is his history. For forty vears he has been identified wiih its interests, its perils and its hopes. Universally beloved in the walks ol peace, and distinguished by bis ability in the councils ol bis country, be -tad been yet more illustriously distinguished in the field. 44 During the late war, he was 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, | a While ii is deeply lamented dial so many valu able lives have been lost in the action which look place on the 7th ultimo, Congres j will see with sat isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious ly disnlayed by every de.scripiiuhof troops engaged, as well as the toilet led firmness which distinguished their commundei on an occasion requiring the ut most exertions of valor and disc Mine.” James Madison in his Message to Congress. No vember, 1812, said, 5 “ 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 confidence of his fellow soldiers, among whom are citizens some of themivolunteers in the ranks, not less distinguished byjheir political sta tions than by their personal merit!*.” 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 cnem;’, the oflicer com manding the Northwestern arm*, transferred the war tbirthcr,and,iapidly pursuing the hostile troops fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general actum, which quickly terminal d| m the capture of the British, and disjiersion of llrj 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, by 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 tame.” JOEL COOK, I!.

Davis, who was kil led at the battle of Tippecanoe, August 24, 1811: “I make free to declare, that 1 have imagined there were two military tnen in (he West, and Gen. Harrison is the first of the two ” Message of Simon Snyder, Governor cf 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 rescued from the scalping knileot the ruthless savage of the wilder ness, and from the still more savage Proctor, rest on Harrison and his gallant army.” In the Legislature of Indiana, on the 12th Nov. 1811,the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Gen. Win 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 officiate sanguinary conflict with the Shaw nee Prophet, and the tribes ol Indians confederated with him; when wo see displayed in behalf of our country, no 1 only the consummate abilities of the general, but l he heroism of the man ; and w hen we take into view the benefits w hich must result to that country from those exertions, we cannot, lot a moment, withhold oik meed of applause.” Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812. “ Resolved, By the Senate and House ol Repre tativesofthe Siateof 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, skilful and gallant conduct in I lie battle of ] Tippecanoe, be will deserve the warmest thanks of Ins country and his nation. Gen. Anthony Wayne, in his Letter to the Secre tary of War,giving an official account of his san guinary Indian Bailie, in 1792,said : “ My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison rendered the most.essential service, by communica ling my orders in every direction, and by Ins con duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press lor victory.” Resolution directing the madals struck, and,Jto he together with the thanks ot Congress, presented to Major General Harrison, and Gov.

Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre sentatives of the United States of America in Con gress assembled, That the thanks of Congress be, and they are hereby', presented to Major Gen eral William Henry llarrisui . and Isaac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky,and through them, to the of ficers and men under their command, lor their gal lantry and good conduct in defeating the combined British and Indian forces under Major General Proc tor, on the 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 eqnippage, and artillery ; and that the President of the United Stales be requested to cause two gold medals to be struck, emblematic of this triumph, and be presented to General Harrison and Isaac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky. H. Cr.AY, Speaker 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 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: “ U r did not want to serve under cowards or trai tors ; but under one [ Harrison ] who had proved him self to be wise , pi udeut and brave.” Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August 18, 1817, says: “ The prompt change made by you in the order of battle on discovering the position ot tlieem my, lias always appeared to roe 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 Langdon Cl eves, on the battle of the Thames. “ The victory of Harrison, was such as would have secured to a Unman General in the best days of the Republic, the honor >• of a triumph ! He put an end to the War in the Uppermost Canada.” Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col. Croghan : *" 1 desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon me at the expense of General Harrison. " 1 have ft It the warmest attachment for him as a man, and ray confidence in him us an able comman der remains unshaken. 1 feel every assurance that he will at ail limes do me justice; ami could give me more pain than to see his enemies seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriendly feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long a- he continues (as in ray humble opinion he h;s hhher lodone-tom ake the wisest arrangements and the most judicious disposition, which tne forces under his command vvili justify. I shall not hesitate to unite with tne army to bestowing upon L mm tout confide we which he so richly merits, and which Jims on nn occasion been wit hheld. The Richmond Enquirer said : “G en Harrison’s letter tells us every thing that we wish 10 know about the officers, except himself. He does 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 i “We hav-a suffered greatly for the want of pro visions, end the whole army has subsisted, for the lasi three days, on raw beef without salt.” 'n all ages, and in all countries, it has been observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those who are the least willing lo part with their rigtns, and submit themselves to the will ot a master. -Wm.ll Harrison. S3-“THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES .May |hey ever remember that lo preserve their liberties, they must do their own voting and then own fighting M - H. Harrison. *‘ General Harrison lias 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 lives, whose whole heart and soul is not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in ihe late victories of Perry and Harrison, that does nol fed a pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes of Ihe Wes;, 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—lie possesses the spirit of a murderer.” John M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov. in Connecticut, in his lite of Perry nulF ahed 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 of the late war. ’ In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said : “Jt must be conceded that this victory reflected great honor upon the national arms , and upon the troops by whom if was achieved. “ The action, and the movements which preceded it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and cool intrepidity cf Gen. Harrison; and, indeed, all the events of the campaign support these char actislics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in stance, been imputable to him. “ There are perhaps on record few instances of such coo! and steady intrepedity, 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 Artel, and arrived ai Erie on the22cl of October Here they were received with every demonstration ot joy and admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations &c. They were hailed as the deliverers ol the frontiers. ’ An Eloquent Record. William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on the9ih of February, 1773.

Universally beloved in the walks of peace, and distinguished by Ids ability in the councils of Ins country,he lias been yet more , illustriously distinguished in ihe field. During the late war, he was longer in actual service than any other General Officer ; he was, perhaps, ©finer in action than any one of them, and never sustained a defeat.” Such is the man, who, still enjoying his untar nished fa ne 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 to guide the councils of the nation, “and deliver the country from the dangers which encompass it.” He will be her deliverer ! t-rr jj; j.™- Georgia, Burke county: VV HEREAS, Abel Lewis, administratoron the ▼ * estate of Stephen Boyd, deceased, applies or letters dismissory from said estate ; These are therefore to cite and admonish all and singular, the kkdred and creditors of said deceased, to be and appear at my office within tiie time pre scribed by law, to show cause, if any they have, why said letters should not be granted.
