WIN. III HARRISON.
General Harrison has done more for his country,
with less compensation for il than any man living
PRESIDENT MADISON.
Ex-Governor Isaac Hill, Nov. 81 1913, in the
New Hampshire Patriot said
VIVA, man lives, whose whole heart and soul is
British that sincerely rejoice in the late
victories OF Perry and Harrison, that does not feel
pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes OF
the West who have freed country large as the En-
pre NJ Alexander the Great from the Indian toma-
hawk and scaping knife Ii there be such an one,
he is traitor TO his countryhe possesses the spirit OF
murderer
JOHN M. Niles late Van Buren, candidate for
Governor III Connecticut, in his Life Of Perry,
published IN 1921, after giving general biogra-
ply Of General Harrison, said:
The defence of Fort Meigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British army, may be fairly considered
the most brilliant and extraordinary events of the late
war
In abiding 10 the battle of the Thames, he said:
IN mast be conceded that This rictory reflected great
honor upon the national arms, and upon the troops by
lrhon IL iraS dchiered.
The action, and the movements which preceded It,
afford ample testimony of the Judgment and cool ntre
pdity Of General Harrison; and indeed all the events
Of the campaign support these characteristics; the
disasters attending il having in instance, been i'm
putable to him.
There are perhaps record few instances of such
cool and steady intrepdity, on the part of militia, or
q force Of this description, as was displayed on this
occasion.
Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Ariel and
arrived at Erie on the Odd Of October Here they
received with every demonstration of joy and ad
nration the discharge of cannon illumnations, &c.
OPINION OF THOMAS RITCHIE.
The Secretary of War holds, not only the most
important but the most difficult station in the Govern
ment II requires combination of talents. He
must be an experienced man; indefatgabe, brilliant
and prompt in his convictions decisive in the
tion of his orders The whom have named
(C;cn HARRlSON) comes a to the character
as any can think of Rich Enquirer. 1884.
Again, he says in the Enquirer, Feb 6, 1919.
"l is scarcely necessary for us TO repeat the warm
sentiments of respect which entertain for Gen.
WM HENRY HARRISON. During the late
have repeatedly borne our humble testimony
to the gallant hero of the armies Of the North West.
An envious cloud however gathered around his head
which is now finally and forever dispersed The re-
port of the Committee, whose investigation General
HARRISON himself demanded, is conclusive upon
this subjectbut is pleasing TO record the warm and
emphatic illusions Of member Of that Committee,
Mr. Hubert, which we have published in this days
paper II gives pleasure at the time, and may
crafty the friends Of Gen HARRISON to publish the
following letter from the venerable Shelby to that dis
tinguished officer"
OPINION OF THE ALBANY ARGUS,
There is elegance approaching the subimity in
passage of the general orders of Jan 2, TO the
Northwestern army under GEN. HARRISON
These orders issued in consequence of return
Of detachment from successful expedition into the
Indian country. The detachment had orders among
other things, to save the women aud children and to
spare the warriors who ceased to resist After thank
the general order proceeds
Let an account of murdered innocence be opened
in the records OF Heaven against enemies alone
the American soldier will follow the example Of his
Government, and neither the sword of the one will
be raised against the helpless and the fallen the
gold OF the other paid for the scalp OF massacred
enemy - rgus, March IL 1873
From the Albany Argus, Sept2l, 1913
| MlIoR CRoGHAN-Ths gallant young American
has added ustre to his character by repeng the
insinuatons which had been promulgated prcjudicial
to Gen Harrison. He states tina, the order for him
10 abandon and burn the fort was not delivered to him
till ii had become mprudent, if not impractcable to
retreat by OF far superior force of the enemy
having already surrounded him He therefore wrote
letter to the General calculated to eceivcthe enemy,
and which he supposed would fall into their hands
1t reached the General and the Major was arrested;
hut on explanation taking place his sword was
Immediately restored
The measures adopted by Gen Harrison, (says
! Major Croghan) far from deserving censure
