We begin with the teslia ouy Of Col RICHARD
NJ. Johnson, now Vice President Of the United
States.
Col. Johnson said, Gin Congress-
"Who is Gen. Harrison The son ofone of the
siguers Of the Declaration Of Independence, who
spent the greater part Of his in 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 Zen. Harrison need moi
speak-the history of the West, il his history.
For forty wears 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 llustrionsly 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 one Of them, and
never sustained defeat. "
JAMES MANSON, in special message TO Con
sress, Dec. 49, 1911, said,
