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.” JOEL COOK.

Harrison is the first of die two ” Message of Simon Snyder, Governor cl Penn sylvania, December 10, 1813 , “ 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 Harrison and his gallant army.” In tkc kcgiatai nre ot Indiana, on the 12’hNoV. 1811, the Si peaker of the House of Represer latives, (Jen. Win, Johnston, thus addressed lenera Harri son. * “ Sir—The House of Representatives ofjthe In diana territory, in their own name, and m hi half of their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the congratulations of your Excellency on the jflorious result ofthe late sanguinary conflict with lh«j Shaw nee Prophet, and the tribes of Indians confederated with him; when wo see displayed in bahalf of our country, no* only the consummate abilities of the general, but the heroism of the man ; anli when we take into view the benefits which must if ult to that country from those exertions, we can- oi a moment, withhold oik meed oil applause.’ Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 18 i. “ Resolved, By the Senate and House ol Repre tativesof the Stale of Kentucky, in the hue cam paign against the Indians up«»n the Wabash, Guv. William Henry Hamsun has behaved like a hero, a patriot and a general; and that for his cool, delib erate, skilful and gallant conduct in the battle of Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest! thanks of his country and his nation. Gen. Anthony Wav ne, in his Letter tothfi Secre tary of War, giving an official account ot 8:s san guinary Indian Baltic, in 1792, said : 1* “My faithful and gallant Lieutenant garrison rendered the most essential service, by oorr.aiunica ting mv orders in every direction, and by-fits con duct and bravery, exciting live troops to press for viclory.” g Resolution directing the madals struck, atjd,Jto be together with the thanks oi Congress, {Vesented to Major General Harrison, and Gov. i*helby, and for other purposes.

H.;Cr.AY, Speaker of the House o Representatives. John Gaijllard, President of the Senate, pro tejnpore. April 4, 1818.—Approved, \ James Monroe. 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. Wm. H Harrison. 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. in 1792, he was promoted to the rank of Lieu tenant : and in 1793, joined the legion under Gen. Wayne,and in a lew days thereafter, was selected by him as one of his Aids. 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 dians. In 1809, he was re-appointed Governor of Indi ana by Madison. On the 7th November, 1811, he gained the great victory of TIPPECANOE On the 11th September, 1812, he was appointed by Madison, Coiumander-iu-Chief of the North western army. 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 sioner, with Gen. 31c Arthur and Mr. Graham, and 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 !
