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 son ofone OF the
siCners 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
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 pers 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
feld. .....
"During the late war, he was longer in active
service than any other General officer he was per-
baps, 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 amented 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 fortitude vcto-
rously displayed by every description of troops en-
gagged as ceH as the collected 6rmnesS mhich diStin-
guished their commander an occasion requiring
the utmost ererti0nS Of udlour aud 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.. MADlsoNs message Of Dec. 1918, the
cmpliment was extended, as follows:
The success on Lake Erie having opened pas
sage on the territory of the enemy, the officer com
mandng 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
orce
This result is signaliy honorable 10 Major GEN
RAJ HARRISON, BY rhosc military talents ii Ha
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 tc
oppose civilized a savage foe, we should marcel
under Gen. Harrison with the most perfect con
hdence of victory aud fame"
