HARR1soN, long before he was named for the Pre-

weight sufficient to bear down all the petty calum-

HIMSELF
We begin with the testimony OF Col. RICHARD
NJ Johnson, now Vice President Of the United
States.
Col Johnson said, lin Congress-
"Who is Gen. Harrison The son of one Of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence. who
spent the greater part of his large fortune 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 I need not
speak-the history Of the West, is his history.
For forty years he has been identified with its in
terests, its perrs 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 per-
haps, oftener in action than any one of them, and
never sustained defeat"
JAMES MADISON, in special message to Con-
gress, Dec. IS, 1911, said,
While 1t is deeply lamented that so many vaiu-
able lives have been lost in the action which took
place on the 7th utimo, Congress will see with
satisfaction the dauntless spirit of tortude victo
riousy displayed by every description of troops
gagged, as rel as the collected frmness uhich diSLn
guished their commander 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 are
citizens, some of them volunteers in the ranks, not
less distinguished by their political satens than by
their personal merits.
In Mr.. MADlsoN's message Of Dec. 1918 the
compliment was extended, as follows:
The success on Lake Erie having opened pas.
sage the territory Of the enemy, the officer com.
handing the Northwestern arms transferred the
war thither, and, rapidly pursuing the hostile
troops, fleeing with their savage associate, forced
a general action, which quickly terminated in the
capture of the British, and dispersion of the savag,
force.
This result is signaly honorable to Major GEN
ERAL HARRISON, by whosc military talents it uG
prepared.
The following tribute Of praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1911, by eleven Of the officer
who fought under his banner at the BATTLE of Tip
: pecanoe:
"Should our country again require our services (
oppose civilized or savage foe, we should marc
under Gen. Harrison with the most perfect con
a fdence of victory aud fame"
