We begin with the testimony of Col. RICHARD
NJ. JOHNSON, now Vice President of the United
States.
Col. Johnson said, Tin Congress-
"Who is Gen. Harrison The son ofone of the
sgners of the Declaration of Independence, who
spent the greater part of his argefortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, of his fortune life and
sacred honor to secure the liberties Of his coun-
try.
''Of the career of Gen. Harrison l need not
speok--the history of the West, is his history.
For forty years he has been identified with its in
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-
hops, oftener in action than any one Of them, and
never s0 stained defeat.
JAMES MADISON, in special message TO Con
gress. Dec. 10, 1911, said,
While 1t is deeply lamented that so many vau-
able lives have been lost III the action which took
place on the 7th utimo, Congress will see with

riously displayed by every description Of troops en-
gagged, as reH the collected frmness which distin
guiSked their commander on an occasion requiring
the utmost erertionS Of ralour and discipline.
JAMES MADISON in his message to Congress,
Nov. 1912, said,
An ample force from the States of Kentucky
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of few regulars under the command
of Brigadier Gen. HARRISON, possesses the entire
confidence of his fellow soldiers, among whom
citizens some of them volunteers in the ranks, not
less distinguished by their political stations than by
their, personal merits.
In Mr.. MADrsoN's message of Dec 1918, the
cmpliment was extended, as follows:
Tie success on Lake Erie having opened pas
sage on the territory of the enemy the officer com
handing the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thther, and, rapidly pursuing the hostile
troops fleeing with their savage associate, forced
general action which quickly terminated in tho
capture of the British, and dispersion of the savage
cree.
This result is sigr.aliy honorable 10 Major GEN
RAJ HARRISON, By whose military talents 1t was
prepared.
The following tribute Of praise was paid to Cen
eral Harrison, in 1911, by eleven Of the officers
who fought under his banner at the BATTLE of Tip
pecanoe
"Should our country again require our services to
oppose civilized or savage foe, we should march
under Gen. Harrison with the most perfect con-
fdence of victory aud fame"

Harrison is the first of the two"
Message of Symon Snyder, Governor of Pa.
Dec. 10, 1918.
ALREADY is the brow Of the young warrior,
Cruchan, encircled with laurels and the blessings
OF thousands of woman and children rescued from
the scaping knife of the ruthless savages Of the
wilderness, and from the still more savage Proc
tor, rest on Harrison and his gallant army"
In the Legislature Of Indiana, on the 18th Nov
ISL, TIE Speaker Of the House of Representatives
Gen VIM Johnson, thus addressed General Har-
riSon:
''Sir-The House Of Representatives Of the In
diana territory, in Their own nac and III behalf OF
their constituents, most CORDIALLY recprocae the
CONGRATULATIONS of your Excellency on the glorious
result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet and the tribes of Indians concderated
with him; when we see displayed in behalf of our
country, not only the cOnsummate abilities of the
general, but the herOism OF the man and when we
take into view the benefits which must result to
that country form those eXertions, we cannot, for
moment, withhold our need of applause"
The following resolve Of both houses of the
Legislature Of Kentucky, will have similar
efle ct on the nerves Of those who circulate the

fall o! the gallant Col. Davies;
Legislature Of Kentucky, Jan. 7, 1912.
Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre-
senaves of the State of Kentucky, that in the late
campaign against the Indians upon the Wabash,
Gov. William Henry Harrison has behaved like a
hero, patriot and general and that for his cool,
deliberate, skilful and gallant conduct in the battle
of Tpecanoe, he well deserves the warnest thanks
of his country and his nation.
zen. Anthony Wayne, in his Letter to the Sec
rotary of War, giving an official account of his
sangunary Indian Battle, in 1892, said
'sMy faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison,
rendered the most essential service, by communion
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 "petcoat heros, feel
if such Sanderers can feel any thing but the lash.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Represen-
tatiye Of the United States Of America in Congress
assembled, That the thanks Of Congress be, and
they are hereby, presented to Major General Will
