HIMSELF
We begin with the testimony of Col. RICHARD
NJ. JOHNSON, now Vice President Of the United
States.
Col. Johnson said, lin Congress-
"Who is Gen. Harrison The son of one of the
signcrs of the Declaration Of Independence, who
spent the greater part of his large fortune i'll 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
spcak-thc history of the West is his history.
For forty years he has been identified with its in
terests, its pcrils 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-
hups, oftencr in action than any one of them, and
never sustained defeat"
JAMES MANSON, in special message to Con
gess, Dec. 1S, 1911, said,
While 1t is deeply amented that 50 many vaiu-
able lives have been lost in the action which took
place on the 7th ultimo Congress will see with
satisfaction the dauntless spirit Of fortude victo
riously displayed by every description of troops en-
gagged as lrel as the collected frMHeSS Chich diStin
sguiShea their commander an occasion requiring
3he utmost erertions Of ra'our 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, not
less distinguished by their political stations than by
their, personal merits.
In Mr.. MADISON S message Of Dec. 1913, the
compliment 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 thther and, rapidly pursuing the hostile
troops fleeing with their savage associate, forced
a general action, which quickly terminated in the
capture of the British, and dispersion of the savage
force.
This result is sig1aly honorable 10 Major GEN
ERAL HARRISON, by tohose military talents 1t 1saS
prepared.
The following tribute Of prnise was paid to Cen
eral Harrison, in 1911, by eleven Of the officers
who fought under his banner at BATTLE of Tip
pecanOe:

oppose civilized a savage foe, we should march

Extract of letter from Col. Davies, who was
killed at the battle of Tippecanoc Aug. "a, 1911:
&c 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 Symon Snyder, Governor of Pa.
Dec. 10, 1913.
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 Nov
1911, the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Gen. VIM. Johnson, thus addressed General llar-
rson:
"Sr-The House of Representatives Of the In
diana territory, in ther name, and IN behalf OF
their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the
congratulations of your Excelency on the glorious
result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet and the tribes Of Indians cOnfederated
with him; when we see displayed in behalf of our
country, not only the consummate abilities Of the
general, but the hcroiSm OF the man and when we
take into view tie benefits which must result to
that country form those eXcrtions, VIC cannot for q
moment, withhold our need of applause"
The following resolve OF both houses of the
Legislature Of Kentucky, will have similar
ene on the nerves Of those who circulate the
SANDER respecting the 'white horse" and the
fall of the gallant Col. Davies:
legislature Of Kentucky, Jan. 7, 1912.
Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre-
scnatves of the State Of Kentucky, that in the late
campaign against the Indians upon the Wabash
Gov. William Henry Harrison has behaved like a
hero, patriot and general and that for his cool
deliberate, skilful and gallant conduct in the battle
of Tpecanoe, he well deserves the warnest thanks
Of his country and his nation
Gen. Anthony Wayne, in his Letter to the Sec.
rotary of War, giving an official cc0unt Of hi,
sangunary Indian Battle, in 1892, said
"My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered the most essential service, by cOmmunica
ting my orders in every direction, and by his con-
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press FOL
victory.
The following resolution, which passed both
houses Of Congress, with but one dissenting voice
is calculated to make the "petticoat heroS, feel
if such sanderers can feel any thing but the lash
'kesolyed by the Senate and House of Represent
tatiye of the United States of America in Congress,
assembled, That the thanks Of Congress be, anG
