The Homage of J' jistice.
We have compiled, from various sources, ihe ful

triotism, valor, talents and sucnfiG of (general Har
rison, long before he was named ior the Presidency
and in times which ought to givj? them weight suf
ficient to hear down all I lie pe|ty calumnies and
quibbling objections which partj; malignilyraay now
presume 10 lorge against the vpir-worn and lime
honored potriot and soldier. j
The authorities we present at-amst the attacks of
loco foco federalism, and which; we have stereotyp
ed as an impiegnahle barricade! against all opposi
tion, are no less than the Congress of the United
States, the legislatures of Indiund, and of Kentucky
James Madison, Jus. Monroe, Ccsl Richard M. John
son, Anthony Wavne, Ijangdon ( 'neves, Simo i
der. Gov. Shelby,'Com. Perry, tMCroghan, Col.
Davis, and others, including in tlje iilnstrioiis cata
logue even Thomas Ritchie, IsoMtp Ui-l, John M.
Niles and Moses Dawson ! i
Col. Kit hard M. Johnson, now! Vice President of
the United Srafcs, said, (in Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The I-on of one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence, who
spent the greater part of his largsjfjrtune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, ol| his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure t|ie liberties of his
country.
M Ofthe career of Gen. Hamstp'i I need not speak
the history ofthe West, is his [history . For forty
years he has been identified vvi|h its interests, its
perils and ns hopes. Universal* l * beloved in the
walks of peace, and distinguish by his ability in
Ihe councils of his country, he ...id been yet more
illustriously distinguished in be f ; eld.
“ During the late war, he was 10 rger in active ser
vice than any o'her General officer; he was, per
haps, oftener in action than any one of 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, Congrest| will see with sat
isfaction the dauntlessspirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description*- 1 troops engaged,
as well as the collected firmness watch distinguished
their commando on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline."
James Madison in his .Message to Congress. No
vember, 1312, said,
“ An ample force from the Sir tea of Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, ur the command
of Brigadier General Harrison, w hr* possesses the
entire confidence of his fellow soldiers, among
w hom are citizens some of them volunteers in the
ranks, not less distinguished by their political sta
tions than by their personal merit!;.”
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 thin her, and, i apiclly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminal d m 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 1811., by € leven elf the officers who
fought under his banner at the hfinle 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 perfect confi
dence of victory and lame.”

“ I make free to declare, that ;l have imagined
there were two military men in the West, and Gen.
Harrison is the first of ihe two” s
Message of Simon Snyder, Governor of Penn
sylvania, December 10,1813
“ Already is the brow of ihe yon-tg warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled with laurels, and jibe blessings of
ihousandaof women and , hddren .rescued from the
scalping knife of the ruthless savage of the wilder
ness, ami from the still more savage Proctor, rest on
Harrison and his gallant army.” j
In the Lcgislai ure of Indiana, ota the 12th Nov.
1811, the 8 peaker of the House of ’Representatives,
Gen. Win. Johnston, thus addressed General Harri
son.
“ Sir—The House c f Representatives of the In
diana territory, in their own name, iind in behalf of
their constituents, most cordially/reciprocate ihe
congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
result ofthe late sanguinary conflict; with the Shaw
nee Prophet, and the tribes o* Indiij's confederated
with him; when wo seo display kl in behalf of
our country, not only the consunrinjate abilities of
the general, but the heroism of the ifiian ; and when
we take into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, cannot, foi a
moment, withhold oik raced of appl'ause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved, By the 8-enale and J jouse ol Repre

patriot and a general; and that fori his cool, delib
erate, skillul and gallant conduct tin the bcltle of
Tippecanoe, he will deserve the Warmest thanks
of ins country and his nation.
Gen. Anthony Wayne, in his Letter to the Secre
tary of War, giving an, official account of his san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said :
“My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered the most essential service,joy communica
ting my orders in every direction, jmd by his con

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, -May 18, 1814,
says; T
“ 1 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. [Harrison, July
4, 1813, says :
“ We did not mint to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [ Harrison J who kadproved him
self to be wise, piudent and brave." \
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817,says:
“ The prompt change made by yos in the order of
battle on discovering the position ol it he enemy, has
always appeared to me to hava ckinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. r COIIC IT wilil
the venerable Shelby in his general! approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.” ?
Honorable Laugdon Cheves, on lie battle of the
Thames.
“ The victory of Harrison, was such os would have
secured to a Roman General in the best days ofthe
Republic, the honors of a triumph ! He pul an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada,”
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan: i
*" 1 desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harriet n.
“ I h n ve ft It the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as air able comman
der remains unshaken. 1 feel every assurance that
he will at all times do me justice:, and nothing
could give me more pain than to ifeo his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out yieir unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; arid so long as he
continues (as in my humble opinion- he has hither
to done) tom ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which thjij forces under
his command will justify, I shall ?:iot hesitate to
unite with the army in Joestowing upon „nim tnat
9
confidence which he so richly merits, and which has
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 dojuslice to the man who
was too modest to lie just to himself.”
From Gen. Harrison’s re port 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.’
BCT “ 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 w ith their rights,
and submit themselves to the will ol a master.
Win. H Harrison.
{Kr“THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
Mav they ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own an “ taeir
own fighting , Wm. H. Harrison.
“ General Harrison has done more for his coun
try with less compensation for it, than any man
livitie.** President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man In es, 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 the heroes of
the 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, he is a traitor to the country —be possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his file 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 lairly consider
ed the most briUiant'and extraordinary events of the
late war.”
In alluding to the baltleof 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 cf Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
aclistics ; 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 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
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”
An Eloquent Record.

most flattering written approbation of Gen Wayne.
In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed

negotiated a treaty at Detroit.
In 1816, he was elected a member of Congress.

Senate

and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of the Mili

and, in 1829, wrote his immortal letter to Bolivar

Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke
in the House of Representatives whilst a member
ol that body :
“Os ihe 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 penis, and its hopes. 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, oftner 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 by his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private fife
to guide the councils of the nation, “ and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !
