Col. Richard ill. Johnson, now Vice I reside nt of

Who is Gen. Harrison ? J lie son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of In lepenilenoe, who
spent the greater part of his large fortune in redeem
ing'the pledge he then gave, of hit “ fortune, life
ond sacred honor,” to secure the lib* rite; of his
country. T , ,
•I Ofthc career of Gen. Harrison 1 need nut speak
- the history oft he West, is his history . For forty
years he has horn identified wilh its interests, its
Verils and its hopes. Universally beloved m the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability m
the councils ol his country, he had been yet more
illustriously distinguished in .he field.
“ Daring the late war, he was longer n ac tive ser
vice than any o' her General officer; he was, per
haps, ollener in action than any one u-t them, and
never sustained a defeat ” *
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, 1811, sat i,
“ While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost in the action which look
place on the /lit ultimo. Congress will see with sat
isfaction ihe dauntless s pirit of fortituoe victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
as well as the collated firmness which distinguished
their commandei on an occasion requiring the ut
•most exertions of valor and discipline."
James Madison in bis Message to Congress, No
vember, 1812,said,
“ An ample force from the Stales ol Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a few regular*, 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. Madison's message of December 1313, the
compliment was exlen led, 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 thtrlher,and,tapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with I her savage associates, folded 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 IS 11, bj eleven of the officers who
fought under his banner at the battle -of 1 ippeca
noc.
“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
■deuce of victory and fame.”

Harrison is the first of the two” \
Message of Simon Snyder, Governor of Penn

“ Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro

thousands of women and children rescued from the
scalping knife ot the ruthless savage of ihe wilder

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, M ty 18, 1814,
says :
“ I leel no hesitation to declare to yon that I be

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, prudent and brave."
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August

“ The prompt changemare by you -n the order of

always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. 1 i COOC If with
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of

‘•1 desire no plaudits which are bcvjowed upon

“ 1 have kit tin* warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him us an -.ijiiie comman
der remains unshaken. I fed 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 tins occasion to deal out their unfriendly
leelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues (as in ray humble opinion he h s hither
to donei tom ake the wisest arrangements and the

his command will justify, 1 shall not hesitate 10
unite with the army in Jnestowtng upon [nan U.at

on no occasion been withheld.
The Kielimonil Enquirer said:
“(Jen Hamsun's letier tells us everything that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He docs justice to every one but Harrison— and
the world most therefore dojnsticeto the man who
was 100 modest to be just to himself.”
From Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the
Thames :
“We have suffered greatly for the want ot pro
visions, and the whole army has subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt”

“General Harrison has done more for his coun
try, with less compensation for if, than any mail
Jiving.” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man IP cs, whose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in tho 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, lie is « traitor to the country —he possesses the
spirit of a mrird^er.”
John M. Niles, late Van Bnren cand.d.ite for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his life of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen Har
rison, *aid ;
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, ami 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 hattleof the Thames, he said ;
“It must he 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. Ha r rison* and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
aclislics ; the disaster* attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances of
such cool and steady intrepidity, on the part of
militia, or a force ot this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Ariel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy and
| admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
I &c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers. ”
An Eloquent Record.
William Henry Harrison was bom in Virginia on
the9ih of February, 1773.
In 1791, w hen 19 years of age, he was appointed
bv Washington an Ensign in our infant army.
In 1792, lie was promoted to the rank of Lieu
tenant : and in 1793, joined the legion tinder (fen.
Wayne,and in a lew days thereafter, was selected
by him as one of his Aids.
On ihe 24th of August, 1794, he distinguished
himself in the battle ot the Miami, and elicited the
most flattering written approbation of Gen Wayne.
In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed
in command of Fort \N ashing:on.
In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams,
Secretary of the North-western Territory and cx
ojjicio Lt. Governor
In 1793, he was chosen a delegate to Csngre.-s.
In 1801, he was appointed Governor of Indiana,
and in lhe same year, President Jefferson appointed
him sole Commissioner for treating with the In
dians.
In 1809, he was re-appointod Governor of Indi
ana by Madison.
On the 7th November, 1811, he gained the great
victory of TIPPECANOE

western army.
On the Ist May, 1813, the s-eige of Fort Meigs
commenced—lasted five days, and was terminated
by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gen. Har
rison.
On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste
phenson occurred.
On the stb October, 1813, he gained the splendid
victory ol the THAMES, over the British and In
dians under Proctor.
In 1814, he was as pointed by Madison one of
the Commissioners to rear with the Indians and
in the same year, with his colleagues Gov. Shelby
and Gen. Cass, concluded the ceieb.ated treaty of
Greenville.
la 1815, be was again appointed such Commis

negotiated a treaty at Detroit.
In 1816, ho was elected a member of Congress.
In January, 1818, he introduced a resolution in

most feeling, classical and eloquent speeches ever
delivered in the 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 tlie Mili

resigned
In 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia,
and, in 1829, wrote Ins hb mortal letter to Bolivar
the deliverer of South America.
Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke
in the House ol Representatives whilst a member
ol that body :
“Os the career of Gen. Harrison, 1 need not
speak—the lii.story of the west is bis history For
forty years he has been identified with its interests,
its penis, and ns hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks ot pence,and distinguished by bis ability
in llie councils of his country, lie lias been yet ra ire
| illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
late war, he was Unger in actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, Miner in
action titan 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 ny 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.”
He will be her deliverer !
