HIMSELF
We begin with the testimony of Col. RICHARD
M. JouNsoN, now Vice President Of the United
States.
Col Johnson said Gin Congress-
"Who is Gen. Harrison The son of one OF the
sgners 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
teress, 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, oitener in action than any one Of them, and
never sustained defeat"
JAMES MADISON, in special message TO Con
gress, Dec. 1S, 1911, said,
While 1t is deeply lamcnlcd that so many vau-
able lives have been lost in the action which took
place on the 7lh ultimo, Congress will see with
satisfaction the dauntcss spirit Of lOrttudc vlcto-
riously displayed by every description Of troops
gagged as iceR as the collected frmnesS 'chich disttn
guished their commander an occasion requiring
the utmost ereriionS ot raioHr 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, moi
less distinguished by their political stations than by
their, personal merits.
In Mr.. MADIsoNs message Of Dec. 1918, the
cmpIiment was extended, as follows:
The success on Lake Erie having opened n 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
general action, which quickly terminated in the
capture of the British, and dispersion Of the savage
CrCe.
This result is signaliy honorable 10 Major GEN
RAJ HARRISON, by whose military talents 1t 'saS
prepared.
The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen
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 10
oppose civilized or savage foe we should march
under Gen. Harrison with the most perfect con-
fdence of victory aud fame.'

Extract of letter from Col, Davies, who was
killed at the battle of TippecanOe, Aug. "a, ISL:
g make free to declare that | have imagined
there were two military men in the West, and Gen.
Harrison is the first Of the two.'
Message Of Synlon Snyder, Governor Of Pa.
Dec. 10, 1873
Already is the brow of the young warrior,
Croghan, 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 Proc
tor, rest on Harrison and his gallant army"
In the Legislature Of Indiana, on the 18th NoI
ISL the Speaker of the House of Representatives
Gen. VIM. Johnson, thus addressed General llar
TiSon;
"Sir-Tho House Of Representatives of the In
diana territory, in Their own maine, and III behalf

ting my orders in every direction, and by his con
