who is Gen. Harrison The son 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 the liberties of his coun-
try.
.'Of the career of Gen. Harrison l 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 illustrousy distinguished in the
field.
During the late war, he was longer in active
service than any other General officer, he was per-
haps, oftener in action than any of them, and
never sustained defeat"
JAMES MApssoa, in special message to Con
gess, Dec. 10, 1911, said,
While 1t is deepl y lamenied that many vaiu-
able lives have been lost in the action which took
place on the 7h ultimo, Congress will see with
satisfaction the dauntless spirit Of fortiude vcto

An ample force from the States of Kentucky

the addition of few regulars under the command

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.. MADlsoN's message of Dec. 1873 the
compliment was extended, as follows:
Tie success on Lake Erie having opened pas
sage on the territory of the enemy, the officer
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 the
capture of the British, and dispersion of the savage
force.
This result is signaHy honorable to Major GEN
ERAL HARRISON, by whose mtatary talents 1t asaS
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 savage foe, we should march
under Gen. Harrison with the most perfect con-
fdence of victory aud fame"

In the Legislature of Indiana on the 18th Nov
1911 the Speaker Of the House Of Representatives,
Gen. WIN. Johnson, thus addressed General Har-
rison:
''Sir-The House of Representatives of the In
diana territory, in Their name, and IN behalf of
their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the
congratulations of your EXcellenCy on the glorious
result of the late sangunary conflict with the Shaw

with him; when 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 eXertOns, we cannot, for
moment, withhold our need of applause"
The following resolve Of both houses Of the
Legislature Of Kentucky, will have a similar
eife ct on the nerves Of those who circulate the
SANDER respecting the "whte horse" and the
fall Of the gallant Col. Daviess:

sentatives Of the State of Kentucky that in the late
campaign against the Indians upon the Wabash,
Gov. William Henry Harrison has behaved like
hero, patriot and general and that for his cool

of Tipecanoe, he well deserves the warnesr thanks
of his country and his nation.

sangunary Indian Battle, in 1892, said
"My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison,
rendered the most essential service, by communca.
ting my orders in every direction, and by his con-
duct and bravery exciting the troops TO press for
victory.

houses of Congress, with but one dissenting voice
