Col. Kichard M. Johnson, new Vice President ot
the United States, said, (in Congress'—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of vine of the
signers of the Declaration of In lepindence, who
spcin the greater part of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, of his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties of his
country. _ . i
“ Os the career of Gen. Harrison / need not speak
er the history ofthc West, is his history, for forty
years he has been identified with its interests its
penis and its hopes. Universally h- loved m the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils of his country, he had been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice man any o'her General ofTmer; he was, per
haps, of tenet in action than any one ot them, and
® never sustained a defeat
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
Decem' jer 18, 1811, said,
“ While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost in the action which look
place on the 7ih ultimo. Congress will see wiih sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed hv every description of troops engaged,
J us well as the collected firmnessyohidt distinguished
their commandei on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline. ’
James Madison in his Message to Congress. No
vember, 1812, said,
“ An ample force from ihc Stales ot 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 arc citizens some of them 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 Erie having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com
manding the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thirl her,and, ifipidly pursuingthe hostile troops
fleeing wiih 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 prarse was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, b} cloven 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 wiih the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

Extract of a letter from Col. Davis, who was kil

“ I make free to declare, that I have imagined
there were two military men in the West,and Gen.
Harrison is the first of the two ”
Message of Simon Snyder, Governor of Penn
sylvania, December 10, 1813
“ Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled with laurels, and I lie blessings of
thousands of women and children rescued from the
scalping knife ol 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 8 ptaker of the House of Representatives,
Gen. Wm Johnston, thus addressed general Harri
son.
“Sir—The Housed 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 w i.h the 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
ave take into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, sot a
moment, w ithhold oik meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved , By the Senate and House ol Repre
talivcsof the Stateof Kentucky, in the late cam
paign against the Indians upon the Wabash, Gov.
William Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a
,patnot and a general; and that for his cool, dehb
orate, skilful and gallant conduct in the bailie o;
Tippecanoe, k® will deserve the warmest thanks
of his 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 die most essential service, by communica
ting ray orders in every direolion, and by his con

■Guv. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says :
** 1 (eel no hesitation to declare to you that I be

Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813,says :
“ He did not want to serw under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [ Harrison j who hailproved him
self to be wise, prudent and brave.”
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817, says:
“ The prompt change made by you in the order of
battle on discovering ihe position ot the enemy, has
■always appeared to rne to have evinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. I COOC IT with
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Languon Cheves, on the battle of the
Thames.
“ The victory of Harrison, was such as would have
secured ton Raman General in (he best days of the
Republic, the honors of a triumph I He put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada.”

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 unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long ns he
continues (as in my humble opinion he has hither

The Richmond Enquirer said :
“G*m Hamsun’s letter tells us every thing that

He dries justice to every one but Hafnstm — and
the World must therefore do justice to rite man who
was too modest to be just to himself.”
/rom Urn. Harrison’s report of the battle of the

‘•We have suffered greatly for the want of pro
visions, and the whole army has subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw reef WitfmtrT salt.”

—May they ever remember that to preserve meir
liberties, they must da their own votmg aim their
own inditing Wm. H. Harrison.
“ General Harrison has done more for Ins coun
try, with less compensation for it, than any man
hvius ” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hil I, November 23,1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man It' es, whose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice jn the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not feel
a pride in the valor and patriotism of the herot* of
the West, who have freed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahawk and scalping knife ! Jf there he sack an
one, he is a traitor to the country—he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Buren cand date for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his lire of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen- Har
rison, said :
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, ana the subsequent
capture of the British army, may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events ol tiie
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 set ion. 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 these char
aetislics ; the disasters a>tending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“There are perhaps on record few instances ol
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 ihe Ariel-, and
arrived at Erie on tlie 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 riie
frontiers. ’’

forty years he has been identified with its interests,
its penis, and us hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability
in tiie councils of his country,he has been yet in >re
illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
late war. he was linger in actual service lhan any
oilier General Officer ; he was, perhaps, (rimer in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat.”
Such is the man, w ho, still enjoying his untar
nished lame and glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence where neilher malice or envy
can assail him, is now summoned by his gratelul
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of ihc nation, “and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
