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.” JOEL COOK, R H- BURTON, NATHAN ADAMS, A.

Di-vis, who was kil led at ihe battle of Tippecanoe, August 24,1311: “ 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 tativesof the State of Kentucky, if i the late cam• oiiign against tne Indians upon the? Wabash, Gov. William Henry Harrison has beiiavtid like a hero, a 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 duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press lor victory.” i Resolution directing the madals struck, and,Jto be together with the thanks of Congress, presented to Major General Harrison, and 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. William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on lhe9ih 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 of August, 1794, he distinguished himself in the battle ol the Miami, and elicited the most flattering written approbation of Gen Wayne. In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed in command of Fort W ashington. In 1797, ho was appointed, by President Adams, Secretary of the North-western Territory and ex officio Lt. Governor. In 1798, lie was chosen a delegate to Congress. In 1801, ho was appointed Governor of Indiana, and in the same year, President Jefferson appointed him sole Commissioner for treating with the In dians. * In 1803, he was re-appointed Governor of Indi ana by Madison. On the 7th November, 1811, he gained the great victory of TIPPEC AN OE On the 11th September, IS 12, he was appointed by Madison, Cumrnander-iu-Chief of the North western army. On the Ist May, 1313, the seigo of Fort Meigs commenced—lasted five days, ami was terminated by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gen. Har rison. On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste phensoa occurred. On the sth October, 1813, he gained the splendid victory ol the THAMES, over the British and In dians under Proctor. In 1814, he was ap pointed by Madison one of the Commissioners to reat with the Indians, and in the same year, with his colleaguo-t Guv. Shelby and Gen. Cass, concluded the celeb.aled treaty of Greenville. in 1815, he was again appointed such Commis sioner, with Gen. Me 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 ofthe most feeling, classical and eloquent speeches ever delivered in the House ol Representatives. In 1819, 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 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 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 !
