Col. Richard M. Johnson, now v ice President of
the United .States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of In lepcndence) who
s{s;nt 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. . ? ,
“ Os the career of Gen. Harrison I need not. speak
the history ofthe West, is his history. F<*r forty
years he has been identified with its inter* . ts, its
perils and Us hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils ol his country, he had been y*T more
illustriously distinguished in the field. ;
“ During the late war, he was longer in actjve ser
vice t nan any o' her General officer; he w ap, per
haps, oltener in action than any one ot theifi, 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 action whim look
place on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see with 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 commundei on an occasion requiring he ut
most exertions of valor and discipline.
James Madison in his Message to Congress, No
vember, 1812, said, j
“ An ample force from the States ot Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placetwith
the addition of a few regulars, under the command
of Brigadier General Harrison, who possess :s the
entire confidence of his fellow soldiers, emong
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 1813, the
compliment was extended, as follows :
“ The success on Lake Erie having epened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com
manding the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thirl her, and, t apidly 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 foiy°.^
“ This result is signally honorable to Major 'en
eral Harrison, by whose military talents it was j r
pared."
The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen
era! Harrison, in 1811, by eleven of the office rs who
fought under his banner at the battle of Tippeca
noe .
“Should our country again require out service to
oppose a civilized or a savage foe, we should march
under General Harrison with the most perfect confi
dence of victory and lame.”

“ Already is the brow ot the young warricy, Cro
ghan, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
thousands of women and ..htldren rescued from the
scalping knife ol the ruthless swage of the wilder
ness, and from the still more savage Proctor,Jrest on

(Jen. Win, Johnston, thus addressed lenera Harri

congratulations of your Excellency on the jflorious
result ofthe late sanguinary conflict with lh«j Shaw

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May ‘B, 1814,
says :
“ ] led 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. Harris ;,n, July
4, 1813, soys :
“ H e did not want to serve under coward* or trai
tors ; but an tier one [Harrison] who had proved him
self to be wise , piudent and brave."
Commodore Perry to General Harrison-, August
18, 1817, says: •
“ T he prompt change made by yoa in Ibii order of
battle on discovering the position ot the enemy. Has
always appeared to me to have evince I a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. 1 COIV IT with
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct m that campaign.” -
Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the bat« !e of the
Thames. j
“ The victory of Harrison, was such as if mil have
secured to a Roman General m the best diys of the
Republic, the honor< of a triumph ! He j- it an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada." {
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan: J
*1 desire no plaudits which tM bestowed upon
me al the expense of General Harrison, i
“ I have kit the warmest attachment f ( L him as a
man, and my confidence in him us an übi*t comman
der remains unshaken. 1 feel every assurance that
he will at all times do me justice; an I nothing
could give me more pain than to sec hi* enemies
seize ujnrn this occasion to deal out
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and ns he
continues (as m ray humble opinion he u; s tiiilier
lodone* tom ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, whim the io-xes under
his command will justify, I shall not uesitale to
unite with me array in Joestowing upon; nan tna:
:
conjidenre which he so richly me/its, arid which Jhas
on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said :
“G en Harrison’s letter tells us every thing that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself
He does justice to every one but Harrison— and
the world must therefore do justice to the man who
was too modest to be just to himself.”
From Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the
Thames :
“We have suffered greatly for the want of pro
visions, ami the whole army has subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”
In all ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those
who are the least willing to part with their rigjns,
and submit themselves to the will oi a master.

SCT “THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
May they ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting VVm. H. Harrison.
“ General Harrison has done more for Itts coun
try with less compensation for it, than any man
livimr ” 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 the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not feel
a pride in the valor and patriotism of I lie heroes of
the West, who have freed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahaw k 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 cand,date fur Gov.
in Connecticut, in his lile of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen- Har
rison, said .
“The defence of Fort Meigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British army, may he fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events as the
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said :
44 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 ot the judgement and
cool intrepidity cf Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances of
such cool and steady intrepedity, 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 ol joy and
admiration ; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”
An Eloquent itecorel.
William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on
theOih of February, 1773.
In 1791, when 19 years of age, he was appointed
by Washington an Ensign in our infant army.

On the 24ih of August, 1794, he distinguished
himself in the battle ol the Miami, and elicited the
most flattering written approbation of Gen U ayne.
In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed
in command of fort Washington.
In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams,
Secretary of the North-western Territory and ex
officio Lt. Governor.
“ in 1793, he was chosen a delegate to Congress.
In 1801, he was appointed Governor of Indiana,
and in the same year, President Jefferson appointed
him sole Commissioner for treating with the In

On the Isl May, 1813, the seige of Fort Meigs
commenced—lasted live days, and was terminated
by the brilliant and successful sortie ot Gea. Har
rison.
Oh the 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste
phenson occurred.
On the sth October, 1813, he gained the splendid
victory of the THAMES, over the British and In
dians under Proctor.**
In 1814, lie was as pointed by Madison one of
the Commissioners to rcat with the Indians, and
in the same year, with his colleagues Gov. Shelby
and Gen. Cass, concluded the celeb* aled treaty of
Greenville.
In 1815, he was again appointed such Commis

negotiated a treaty at Detroit.
In 1816, he was elected a member of Congress.
In January, 1818, he introduced a resolution in
honor of Kosciusko, and supported it in one of the
most feeling, classical and eloquent speeches ever
delivered in ihe House of Representatives.
In 181-9, he was elected a member of the Ohio
Senate
In 1824, he was elected senator in Congress,
and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of the .Mili
tary Committee,in place of Gen. Jackson, who had
resigned.
1« 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia,
and, in 1829, wrote bis immortal 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, 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 ns hopes Universally beloved in
the walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability
in the councils of his country,he has been yet more
illiisinously distinguished in the field. During the
late war, lie was Iwnger in actual service than any
other General Officer ; he was, perhaps, wftner m
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
c&n 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 !
