" patriotism, valor talents and success of Gen.
HARRIsoN, long before he was named for the Pre-
sidency, and in times which ought to give them
weight sufficient to bear down all the petty caum-
MES and qubbling objections which party malig
nifty may now presume to forge against the war
worn and time honored patriot and soldier.
The authorities we present against the puny
attacks Of Loco.Foco Federalism, and which we
shall stereotype as an imprcgnable barrcade a.

We begin with the Testimony Of Col. RICHARD
NJ. JOHNSON, now Vice President of the United
States.
Col. Johnson said, Gn Congress)-
"Who is Gen. Harrison The of one Of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence, who
spent the greater part Of his large turtune i'll redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, Of his fortune life and
sacred honor to secure the liberties of his cUun-
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 10y
his ability in the councils of his country, he has
been yet more illustriously distinguished i'll 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 one of them, and
never sustained defeat"
JAMES MADISON, in special message to Con
grcss, Dec. 1S, 1911, said,
While 1t is deeply lamentod that many vaiu-
able lives have been lost i'll the action which took
place on the 7lh ultmo, Congress will with
satisfaction the dauntcss spirit of ioritude ylcto-
riously displayed BY every description Of troops en-
gagged as ,ceH as The collected frmneSS 1chich 6iSLi-
guiShed their commander an occasion requiring
the utmost ecertiOnS Of raioUr and discipline.
JAMES MANSON in his me-: sage 10 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
ess distinguished by their political stations than by
their, personal merits.
In Mr.. MAUIsoN's message Of Dec. 1913, the
cmpiment was extended, as follows:
Tie success on Lake Erie having opened pas
sage on the territory of the enemy the officer CON
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.
1His result is signaHy honorable to Major GEN
rAL HARRISON, by phoSe military talents 1t pas
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 lip
pecanoe
'Should our country again require our services to
oppose civilized or a savage foe, we should march
under Gen. Harrison with the most pertec! con-
fdence Of victory aud fame"
