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.” JOEL COOK, R. B. BURTON, NATHAN ADAMS, A. HAWKINS, H. BURCHSTEAD, HOSEA BLOOD, JOSIA SNEELING, O. G. BURTON, C. FULLER, G GOODING, J. U. FOSTER. 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.” • Resolution directing the madals struck, be together with the thanks of Congress, 7 presented to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby, and for other purposes. Resolved , By the Senate and House of Repre sentatives of the United Slates of America in Con gress assembled, That the thanks ol Congress be, and they are hereby, presented to Major Gen eral William Henry Harrisor, and Isaac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky, and through them, to the of ficers and men under their command, for their gal lantry and good conduct in defeating the combined Bniish and Indian forces under .Uajor General Proc tor, on the Thames, in Upjier Canada, on the fifth day of October, one thousand eight hundred and thirteen, capturing the British army, with their bag age, camp equippage, and artillery ; and that the President ot the United Slates be requested to cause two gold medals to be struck, emblematic of tins triumph, and be presented to General Harrison and Jsaac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky. H. Cr.AY, Speaker of the House o Representatives. John C-AiLLARD, President ol the Senate, pro tempore. April 4, 1818.—Approved, James Monroe. 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. S3~“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 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 dians. In 1809, he was re-appointed Governor of Indi ana by Madison. On the?th November, 1811, he gained the great victory of TIPPECANOE 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 sioner, with Gen. Mc Arthur and Mr. Graham, and negotiated a treaty at Detroit. In 1816, he was elected a member ol Congress. In January, 1818, he introduced a resolution in honor ot Kosciusko, and supported it in one of the 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 !
