Col. Johnson said, (in Congress) , Who is Gen. Hurrisou 1 The son uf one of the aimers of the Declaration of Independence, who siient the prcater oart of hi larire fortune in redeem ing the pledge be 'then gave, of his 'fortune, life and sacred minor, le secure utc iiueruus oi m cuun trv. Of tke 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 i terests. its perils and its hopes. Universally be loved 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 longer in active . service than any other General officer , he was per haps, ofiencr in action than any one ot them, and never sustained a defeat." James Madison, in a special message to Con gress, Dec. 18, 1811, said, While it is deeply lamented that so many valu able lives have been lost iu the action which took place on the' 7th ultimo, Congress will see with satisfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victo . riously displayed by overy description of troops cn , gaped, of veil us the collected firmness ichich distin guished their commander on an occasion requiring the utmost exertions of valour and discipline. James .Madison in his message to Congress, Nor. 1812, said, 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 Gen. Harrison, possesses the entire confidence of his fellow soldiers, among whom are ntirens, some of them volunteers in the ranks, not less distinguished by their political stations than by their, personal merits. In Mr. Madison's message of Dec. 1813, the crrpliment wa extended, ns follows : The success on Lake Erie having opened a pas sage ou the territory ol tho enemy, the omcer coin ' minding the Northwestern arms, transferred the war thither, and, rapidly pursuing the hostile troops, fleeing with their savnge associate, forced a general action, which quickly terminated in tlx capture of the British, and dispersion of the savage orre. 'this result is signally honorable to Major Gen - aal Harrison, by uhnsc military talents it vat prepared. The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen nil Harrison, in 1811, by eleven of the officers who (ought under his banner at the battue ot lip' pecan oe : "Should our country again require our services to oppose a civilized or a savage roe, we should marcii under Gen. Harrison with the most perfect con fidence of victory aud fame." JOEL COOK R. B. BURTON, NATHAN AD AMS, A.HAWKINS, H. BURCHSTEAD. HOSEA BLOOD, JOSIAH SNELLING, O. BURTON, C, FULLER, G. GOODING, J. D. FOSTER. Extract of a letter from Col. Davics, who was killed at the battle of Tippecanoe. Aug. 24, 1611: " 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 Synion Snyder, Governor of Pa. Dec. 10, 1813. " Already is the brow of the young warrior, Croatian, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of thousands of woman and children rescued from the scalping knife of the ruthless savages of the wilderness, and from the still more savage Trac tor, rest on Harrison and his gallant army," In the Legislature of Indiana, on the 12th Nov 111 , the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Gen. Win. Johnson, thus addressed General Har rison : "Sir The House of Representatives of the In diana territory, in llier own name, and in behalf of their constituents, most coroially reciprocate the congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw nee I'rophet, and the tribes of Indians confederated with him ; when we see displayed in behalf of our country, not only the consummate abilities of the general, but the heroism of tiie man ; and when we take into view the benefits which must result to that country form those exertions, we cannot, fur a moment, withhold our meed of applause." The following resolve of both houses of the Legislature of Kentucky, will have a similar effect on the nerves of those who circulate the slander respecting the " white horse," and the fall of the gallant Col. Daviess: legislature of Kentucky, Jan. 7, 1912. Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre sentatives of the Stute of Kentucky, that in the late campaign agaiHst the Indians upon the Wabash, Gov. William Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a patriot, aud a general ; and that for his cool, ilc'iberate, skilful aud gallant conduct in the battle of Tipecanoc, he well deserves the warmest thanks of his country and his nation. Gen. Anthony Wayne, in his Letter to the Sec retary of War, giving hn official account of his sanguinary Indian Buttle, in 17U2, said : "My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Hurrison, rendered the most essential service, by communica ting my orders in every direction, and by his con duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for victory. The following resolution, which passed both houses of Congress, with but one dissenting voice, is calculated to make the ''petticoat heros,"ee2 if such slanderers can feel any thing but the lash " Resolved by the Senate and House of Represen tative of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the thanks of Congress be, and they are hereby, presnted to Major General Wil liam Hnry Harrison, and Isaac Shelby, late Gover nor of Kentucky, aud, through them to the officers and men under their command, for their gallantry and good conduct in defeating the combined British and Indian forces under Major General Proctor, on the Thames, in Upper Canada, on the fifth day ol October, one thousand eight hundred and thirteen, capturing the British army, with their baggage, camp eqipage, and artillery; and that the rresidenl of the United States be requested U cause two gold medals to be struck, emblematical of this tri umph; and presented to General Harrison and Isaac Shelby, late Governor of Kentucky. Henrt O.AY, Speaker ot the House of Representatives. John Gailakd, President of (he Senate, pro tempore. April 4, 1818. Approved, r James Monroe. Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 19. 1814, says: w feel no hesitation to declare to you that I believe fjVji. llarriton In h out of the first military Chirac tars hie knew." Cut. Richard M. Johnson te Gen. Harrison, July 4, 1813, says t ' 1V did not van! to serte untler cowards or trai tors ; but under one Harrison) who had proved Aim- self to be vise, pruaenl ana brave." Uommodoro i'erry to Ucnoral Harron, Au gust 18, 1817, say ' 1 he prompt ctmnge made it yon in me ororr of battle on discovering deposition of the enemy, has always appeared te me to have evinced a high degree of militant Mtent. I concur with the vener able Shelby r 'lis general approbation of your con duct in campaign." TAo opinions of the Hon. Labodom CnitVKS. the importance of the victory of the Thames and the bravery of lien. William Henry Har rison "Tilt victory of Harrison, was such as would have ecured to a Roman General in the best days of the Republic, the honors of a triumph! He put an end to lie war in the uppermost Canada." Sentiments ot the Hero of 1 ort htephenson. Uol. lrogtian, now ot the War Department "1 desire no pluudits which arc bestowed upon me at the expense of Gen. Harrison. "I havo felt the wannest attachment fur him as man, and my confidence in him as an able com mander remains unshaken. I feel every assurance that he will at all times do me ample justice; and nothing could give me more pain than to see his en emies seize upon this occasion to deal out their tin' friendly feelings and acrimonious dislike; aud as long as he continues, (as in my humble opinion he has hitherto done,) to make the wiest n rrangeincnts and the most judicious disposition, which the forces under his command will justify, I shall not hesitate to unite with the army in bestowing upon him thai confidence trhich he so richly merits, and which has on no occasion been withheld. Lastly wc conic to the nrnt compliment o Thomas Richie, Editor of tho Richmond Enquir er, the lending orgun of the Coalition in the South, who now brandishes his old "chapeless sword with two broken points," and threatens devastating war upon the conqvorer ef the Brit- tish and Indian Uoolwonoi the West! the Richmond Enquirer said: "General Harrison's letter tolls as every thing tliRt we wish to know about the officers, except him self. He does justice to every one but Harrison and the world must therefore do justice to the nan who was too modest to be.jt.st to himself." Conic to the Kecord. The following is the record ihu. Harrison has been honored with the confidence v every f resident ol the U. states Irom the organization ol the Uovergment clown to the addoption ol 'spoils system,' After teferring to the joint reso. lotion of Congress, approved by James Monroe, and re-published in another column of to-day's paper, we quote from the Executive Journal ol the United Mates Senate, 1 89, to 1829, inclu sive. in ine .executive journal, lai, pnee oo, we find the following ; I'nilcd Slates, Oct. 31, 1791.
