Col. Richard .M. Johnson, now vice President of
the Uniied States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of In lepemlence, who
s{>enr the greater part of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pit dge he then gave, of his “ fortune, life
end sacred honor,” to secure the lib' iliej of his
Country.
“ Os the career of Gen. Harrison I nee-l not speak
the history oft lie West, is his history for forty
years he has been identified with its ifoerests, its
perils and its hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability m
the councils of his country', he had bfcfen yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice tnan any o her General officer; he was, per
haps, olu-ner in action than any one ol them, 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 which took
place on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troons engaged,
as well as the colle■ ted firmness which distinguished
their commando on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline.
James Madison in his Message to Congress. /No
vember, 1812,said,
11 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 7 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 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.iapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly lerininat 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 pai l 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 periecl confi
dence of victory and fame.”

Extract of a letter from Col. Davis, who was kil
led at the battle of Tippecanoe, August 24,1811;
“ 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 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 , hildren 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 array.”
In the Legislature of Indiana, on the T2thNov.
1811, the i; piaker of the House of Representatives,
Gen. Win Johnston, thus addressed .eneral 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 ol your Excellency on the glorious
result oftho late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet, and the tribes of Indians confederated
with him; when we see displayed in behalf of
■our country, no l only the consummate abilities of
the general, but the heroism of the man ; and when
we 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 of Repre
latives of the SStateof Kentucky, in the late cam
paign against the Indians upon the Waiinsh, Gov.
William Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a
patriot and a general; and that lor bis 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 Wayne, inhis Letter tod he Secre
tary of War, giving an official account <J his san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said ;
“My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered the most essential service, by comraunica
ting my orders in every direction, and by his con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
victory.” •

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says: I
“ 1 leel no hesitation to declare to yon that I be
lieve Gen Harrison to be one of the find military
characters I ever knew.”
Col. Richaid M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813,says:
“ He did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [Harrison] who hadp'vved 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
battleon discovering the position ot the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. 1 COUC ir wil l
ihe venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.
Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the bat tie of (he
“ The victory of Harrison, was such as vx>uUl have
secured to a Roman General in the best days of the
Republic, the honors of a triumph I He pul an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada.”
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Crogaan :
‘•1 desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
“ I have t. It the wannest attachment for him as a
man, and rny confidence in him as an aim-comman
der remains unshaken. 1 fed every assurance that
he will at ail times do me justice; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see hia enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out their aulriciully
ieelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long ns he
continues (as in my humble opinion he K s Imlier
lodone* tom ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, whicn toe forces under
his command will justify, 1 -hall not hesitate to
unite with me army in joestowmg upon turn tna:
conjidenre which he so richly me, its, and which Mias
on no occasion been withheld.”
The Richmond Enquirer said ;
“G en Harrison’s letier tells us every thing that
wish to know 7 about the officers, except himself-
He does justice to every one but Harrison—and
the world must therefose dojustice 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, and 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 rights,
and submit themselves to the will ot a master.”
Wm. H Harrison.

—May they ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting m. H Harrison.
“General Harrison has done more for his conn
trv with less compensation for it, than any man
liv-i’nnr-” _ 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 fed
a pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes of
the West, who have treed a coumry large as the
Empire of Alexander the Groat, from the Indian
tomahawk and scalping knife ! II there he such an
one, he is a traitor to the country —he possesses the
spirit ol a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for 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 be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events A the
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 action, and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of Ihe judgement and
cool intrepidity of Gen. Hamsun; 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 7 instances of
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 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
&e. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”
An Eloquent Record.
William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on
the 9th 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 24th ol August, 1794, he distinguished
himself in the battle ot the Miami and elicited the
most flattering w ritten approbation of Gen \\ 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, [’resident Jefferson appointed
him sole Commissioner for treating with the In

In 1809, he was re-appointed Governor of Indi
ana by Madison.
On the?th November, 1811, he gained the great

On the 11th September, 1812, he was appointed
by Madison, Commander-in-Chief of the North
western array.
On the Ist May, 1813, the seige of Fort .Meigs
commenced—lasted five days, and was terminated
by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gcm. Har
rison.
On the 31st July, 1813, the battle ol 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, he was as pointed by Madison one of
the Commissioners to reat with the Indians, and
in the same year, with his colleagues Gov. Shelby
and Gen. Cass, concluded the celeinated treaty of
Greenville.
In 1815, he was again appointed such Commis

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

most feeling, classical and eloquent speeches ever !
delivered in the House ot ilepresentaiives.
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 the .Vlili
lary Committee,in place of Gen. Jackson, who had
resigned
In 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia,
and, in 1829, wrote his immortal letter to Bolivar
the deliverer of South America.
Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke
in the House ot Representatives whilst a member
ol that body :
“Os the career of Gen. Harmon, 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 iiopes. Universally beloved in
the walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability
in the councils of his country,he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
late war, he was linger in actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, wftner in
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
can assail him, is now summoned ny his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks ol private hie
to guide the councils of the nation, “and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !
