PRESIDENT MADISON
Ex-Governor Isaac Hill, Nor. 20, 1873, in the
New Hampshire Patriot said:
eWhat man lives whose whole heart and soul i
not British that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
pride in the vaior and patriotism Of the heroes Of
the West who have freed country large rs the EN-
pire Of Alexander the Great from the Indian toma-
hawk and scalpng knife Ii there be such an one,
he Is traitor to his country possesses the spirit Of
a-murderer.D
Governor in Connecticut, In his Life Of Perry,
published in 1921, after giving general bioga-
ply of General Harrison, said:
" The defence Of Fort Meigs. and the subsequent
capture Of the British army may be fairly considered
the most brilliant and extraordinary events Of the late
war;" 81 IA. c
In abiding to the battle Of the Thames, he said !:
must be conceded that this victory reflected great
honor upon the national arms and upon the troops by
achom il icas achisred
The action, and the movements which preceded it,
pdity OF General HARRISON and indeed all the events
Of tho campaign support these characteristics; the
disasters attending having IN no instance, been i'm
,putable to him. I'LL
There are perhaps record few instances Of such
cool and steady intrepidty the part Of militia or
force Of this description as was displayed ON this
occasion.

OPINION OF THOMAS RITCHIE.
The Secretary Of War holds, not only the most
important but the most difficult station in the Govern
ment It requires a rare combination Of talents He
must be an experienced man; indcfatigabe, brilliant
and prompt in his convictions; decisive in the execu
ton Of his orders The one whom have named
(Gen. HARRISON) comes as near TO the character
as any can think of."-l7ieh. Enquirer. 1894
Again, he says in the Enquirer, Feb. 6, 1919.
"h is scarcely necessary for US TO repeat the warm
sentiments Of respect which we entertain for Gen.
VIM HENRY HARRISON. During the late
Nv We have s sspe.ssy borne our sS@hs
An cnsos cloud, however, gathered around his head
which is now finally and forever Dispersed The re-
port Of the Committee, whose investigation General
HARRISON himself demanded, is conclusive upon
this subectbut il Is pleasing to record the warm and
emphatic illusions of member Of that Committee
Mr.. Hubert, which we have published in this days
paper gives US pleasure at the same time and may
crafty the friends of Gen. Harrison, to publish the
following letter from the venerable Shelby to that dis
tinguished officer" s
OPINION OF THE ALBANY ARGUS
There is an elegance approaching the sublimity in
passage Of the general orders Of Jan 2, TO the
Northwestern army under GEN. HARRISON
These orders were issued in consequence Of return
Of detachment from successful expedition into the
Indian country. The detachment had orders among
other things to save the women aud children and to
spare the warriors who ceased TO resist After thank
ing the detachment for their attention TO this order
the general order uoceetls
!" Let an account Of murdered innocence be opened
the American soldier will follow the example Of his
Government, and neither the sword Of the one will
be raised against the helpless and the fallen, the
gold Of the other paid for the scalp Of massacrcd
enemy Argue, March IL, 1873
From the Albany Argus, Sept 81, 1873
MAJoR CRoGHaN- This gallant young American
has added nstrc 70 his character by repeIng the
nsinuations which had been promulgated preudicial
10 Gen Harrison. He states, that the order for him
TO abandon and burn the fort not delivered TO him
till il had become ingredient, if not impracticable to
retreat by reason Of far superior force ofthc enemy
having already surrounded him. He therefore wrote
aleter the General calculated to deceive the enemy
and which he supposed would fall into their hands.
1t reached the General and the Major arrested
but explanation taking place, his sword was
Immediately restored
"The measures adopted by Gen. HARRISON (says
Major Croghan) 80 far from deserving censure are
the cearest proofs Of his keen penetration and able
generalship."
From the same, Nop. ., 1873
We have the satisfaction Of announcing to our read
that the United States briggs Niagara, Caledonia
and Hunter the schooners Ariel and Provost and the
sloops Tippc and Little Belt arrived of Buffalo creek
this day with COM PERR Y and GEN. HaRRE
SON on board To describe the public Joy Inhibited
on the appearance ofthe gallant and BRAVE MEN,
TO whom the inhabitants frontier of thousand
miles their peace and security, we will merely
state that the heroes were very handsomely saued by
Col. Chhpin, from our battery, with three hearty
cheers, which was returned in very appropriate
ncr by the feet
Gen. Miller, Collector Of the Port Of Salem, and
distinguished officer under Harrison during the last
