Col. johnson said, (n Congress)-
"Who is Gen. Harrison The son Of one of the
siguers 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 | need not
speak-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 per-
baps, oftener in action than any one of them, and
never sustained defeat"

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
ess distinguished by their political stations than by
their personal merits
In Mr.. MADIsoY's message of Dec 1913, the
ompliment was extended, as follows:
The success on Lake Erie having opened pas
sage on the territory Of the enemy, the officer com
handing the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thither, and, rapidly pursuing the hostile
truops, fleeing with their savage associate, forced
general action, which quickly terminated in the
Gu pturc of the British, and dispersion of the savage
cree.
This result is SignaHy honorable TO Major GEN
PAL HARRISON, by whoSe military Talents 1t wGS
prepared.
The following tribute of praise paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in ISL, by eleven OF the officers
who fought under his banner at the BATTLE of Tip

oppose civilized Il savage foe, we should march
under Gen. Harrison with the most pertec! con-
fdcnce of victory aud fame"
