The Homage of Justice.
We have compiled, from various sources, the All

manded from their several authors by the lofty pa
triotism, vaior, talents and success of General Har
mon, long before he was named for I htj Presidency
and in times which ought to give them|weight suf

quibbling objections which party rnaligiftymay now
presume to forge against the war-wor£ and time
honored pot riot and soldier. £

“ During the late war, he was longer j active ser
vice than any o'her General officer; hi was, per
haps, oftener in action than any one of them, and
never sustained a defeat."
James Madison, in a special message ) Congress
December 18, 1811, said,
“ While it is deeply lamented that sc many valu
able lives have been lost in the action which took
place on the 7tn ultimo, Congress will s e wuh sat

as well as the collected firmness which a stinguished
their commands/ on an occasion requ mg the ut

James Madison in Ins Message to Cc igress, No

“ An ample force from the States ol Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is p iced, with
the addition of a few regulars, under th command
of Brigadier General Harrison, who pc sesses the
entire confidence of his fellow soldi rs, among
whom are citizens some of them volun ers in the
ranks, not less distinguished by their j diucal sta
tions than by their personal merits.”
In Mr. Madison’s message of Decent! ?r 1313, the
compliment was extended, as follows :
“ The success on Lake Erie having o ;ned a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the fficer com
manding the Northwestern arms, trai ferred the
war thirther, and, lapidiy pursuing the h stile troops
fleeing with then savage associates,fore d a general
action, which quickly terminated in th capture of
the British, and disnersion of the savar - force.
‘ ‘ This result is signally honorable to lajor Gen

fought under his banner at the battle f Tippeca

Gov. Shelby to IMr. Madison, Mt r 18, 1814,
says:
“ ] leel no hesitation to declare to yo that I be
lieve Gen Harrison to be one of the j st military
characters I ever knew."
Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. He rison, July
A, 1813,says:
“ H e did not want to serve under cow rds or trai
tors ; but under one [Harrison] who hac proved him
self to be vase, prudent and brave."
Commodore Perry to General Harri ;an, August
18, 1817, says :
“ The prompt change mace by you n the order of

always appeared to me to have evil ed a high
DEGREE OK MILITARV TALENT. 1 < )OC ir with
veneihe ruble Shelby in his general aj irobation of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Laugdou Cheves, on the rule of the
Thames.
“ The victory of Harrison, was such a would have
secured to a Homan General in the best lays of the
Republic, the honors of a triumph ! h put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada."
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stej icnson, Col.
Croghan :
‘•I desire no plaudits which are be* rwed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison
“ I have kit the warmest atlachmen' for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as an t le comman
der remains unshaken. Ifeel every a urance ihat
he will at all times do me justice; nd nothing
could give me more pain than to sen ns enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out the r unfriendly
leelitigs and acrimonious dislike ; and ,o long as he
continues (as in ruy humble opinion h has hither
to done) tom ake the wisest arrangemjnts and the
most! udicious disposition, which the drees under
rns command will justify, I shall n< hesitate to
nmte with the army in bestowing up< i [mm that
conjidenre which he so richly merits, and which has
on no occasion been withheld.”
The Richmond Enquirer said :
“G en Harrison’s letrer tells us every thing that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself
He docs justice to every one but Harrison—and
the world must therefore dojustice to the man who
was 100 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 t lie whole army has subsistec, 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 rig ns,
and submit themselves to the will ml a master.
Wm. H HariusoS.
“THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
May they ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fightine *Vm. H. Harrison.
“ General Harrison has done more for his coun
try, with less compensation for it, than any man
living.” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said ;
“ What man lb 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
ihe West, who have treed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahawk and scalping I-mfe ! 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 for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his lite 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 array,may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events of the
late w ar.”
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 the judgement and
cool intrepidity of Gen. Ftarrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
aciistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances ol
such cool and steady intrepidity, on the part of
miSina, 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
<kc. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”

Himself in the battle ot the Miami, and elicited the
most flattering written approbation of Gen W ayne.
fn 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed
in command of Fort ashington.
In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams,

On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste

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

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

Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke
in the House ol Representatives whilst a member
oi 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 wilh its interests,
its penis, and ns hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks ol 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, wltner in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
Such is the man, who, st ill enjoying his untar
nished lame and glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy
can assail him, is now summoned hy his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of the nalion, “and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !

•ox SIOO REWARD. Ranaway from the

'ber, PETER, a boy about 30 or 32 years
of age, dark skin, high cheek bones, rath
er small e>es, stoops a little, about 5 feet 10 inches
high, legs a little inclined to bow, and feet turn a
little out, and would weigh perhaps 150 lbs., broad
shoulders and very strong, a Cooper by trade; was
severely whipped about six months since, and
probably retains the marks on his shoulders and
thighs, has a downcast look, is very humble to ap
pearance in disposition, speaks rather low, and can
read tolerable well. Had on when he left, I think,
a blue broadcloth coat, second hand, and a white
hat of an inferior quality, and black pantaloons;
while at work, is very intent and labors very
hard—was purchased about 10 years since, from
a Mr. Williams, of Wilmington, North Carolina.
Twenty-five dollars Reward will be paid for
the apprehension of said boy, if taken within the
State, and fifty dollars if taken out of the State.
One hundred dollars will be paid for proof to the
conviction of any white man having inveigled him
away. RUFUS K. EVANS.

•Qu*) RANAWAY from the subscriber, lit ing
vR in Morgan count}', near Park’s Bridge, on
the Oconee river, my negro man Nelson,
about twenty five years of age, six feet
high, well proportioned, a little yellow, of a good
countenance, high forehead, his upper eye teeth
decayed, which is easily perceived when he talks
or smiles, and has little to say unless spoken to. —
He left my premises cn the 9th of August, and
wore off a pair of homespun nankeen pantaloons,
and took off with him a pair of blue Kentucky
jeans, and a cloth cap. Nelson is a tolerable black
smith, and fond of gambling, and is sure, if taken
up, to deny his name and his owner’s name, as he
has runaway twice before. Once I got him out of
Augusta jail, and once from Charleston, S. C. I
purchased him from Benj. Davis in Hamburg.—
Any information will be thankfully received, and
the above reward will be paid for his lodgment in
any jail so that I get him.
