Win. Johnaton, thus addressed era! Harri son. ; “ Sir—The House of Representative of the In diana territory, in their ow n name, and n behalf of their constituents, most cordially red rocate the congratulations of your Excellency on ic glorious result of the late sanguinary conflict wit the Shaw nee Prophet, and the tribes of Indians c nfederaled with him; when we see displayed i behalf of our country, not only the consummate ibilities of the general, but the heroism of the man and when we take into view the benefits which ra si result to that country from those exertions, we ci mot, fox a -moment, withhold our meed of applause ” Legislature of Kentucky , January ,1812. “ Resolved, By the Senate and llous of Repre tativesof the State of Kentucky, in t s late cam paign against the Indians upon the W hash, Gov. vViliiani Henry Harrison has behaved 1: ea hero, a patriot and a general; and that for his cool, delib erate, skilful and gallant conduct in ! te battle of Tippecanoe, he will deserve the wan esl rhanks of Ids country and his nation. Gen. Anthony Wajne, in his Letter ilhe Secre tary of War, giving an official account if his san guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said : “My faithful and gallant Lieutena t Harrison rendered the most essential service, by oramunica # ting my orders in every direction, and by his con duct and bravery, exciting the troops o press for victory.” Resolution directing the madals struc! ’ and.Jto he together w ith the thanks of Congres. > presented to Major General Harrison, and G y.

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 battle on discovering ihe position of thi enemy, lias 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.” An Eloquent Record. William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on the 9ih 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 bv him as one of his Aids. Ou the 24th of August, 1794, he distinguished 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, Secretary of the North-western Territory and ex officio Lt. Governor. In 1793, he w as chosen a delegate to Congress. In 1801, he was appointed Governor of Indiana, and in the same year, President Jefferson appointed i him sole Commissioner for treating with the In- I dians. ; In 1809, he was re-appointed Governor oflndi i ana by Madison. On lhe7th November, 1811, he gained the great victory of TIPPECANOE On the lllh September, 1812, he was appointed by Madison, Coramander-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 Gen. Har rison. On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of 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 i the Commissioners to real with the Indians, and I in the same year, w ith Ins colleagues Gov. Shelby and Gen. Cass, concluded the celetnaled treaty of Greenville. In 1815, lie was again appointed such Commis sioner, with Gen. McArthur 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 of the most feeling, classical and eloquent speeches ever delivered in ihe House of Representatives. Jn 1819, he was elected a member of the Ohio i 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, wrole his immortal letter to Bolivar the deliverer of South America. 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 !
