weight sufficient TO bear down all the petty calum.

We begin with the Testimony of Col. RICHARD
NJ. JOHNSON, now Vice President Of the United
States.
Col. Johnson said, Gin Congrcss)-
"Who is Gen. Harrison The of ono Of the
signers 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 aud
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
loved in the walks Of peace, and d distinguished by
his ability in the councils of his country, he has
been yet more illustriousy distinguished in the
field.
During the late war, he was longer in active
service than any other General officer he was per-
haps, ofener in action than any one of them, and
never sustained defeat"
JANIS MADISON, in special message to Con
sress, Dec. IS, 1911, said,
While 1t is deeply amented that 50 many vaiu-
able lives have been lost i'll the action which took
place on the 7th utimo, Congress will see with
satisfaction the dauntless spirit Of ortitude victo
riousy displayed by every description Of troops
gagged, nceH as the collected frmneSS Chich diSin-
guished their commander on an occasion requiring
the utmost e.rertiOnS Of ra'oar 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 Brigader 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 tnan by
their, personal merits.
In Mr.. MADIsoN's message of Dec. 1913 the
cnpliment was extended, as follows:
The success on Lake Erie having opened pas
sage on the territory OF the enemy, the officer
manding 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 tho
capture of the British, and dispersion of the savage
cree.
This result is signalLy honorable to Major GEN
RAL HARRISON, by phOse military talents it leds
prepared
The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen
sral Harrison, in 1911, by eleven Of the officers
who fought under his banner at the batttlc Of Tip
pecanoe:
"Shoud our country again require our services TO
oppose civilized or u savage foe, we should march
under Gen. Harrison with the most perfect con
fdence of victory aud fame"

Extract of letter from Col Davies, who was
killed at the battle of Tippecanoe Aug. "a, 1911:
Il 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, 1918.
ALREADY is the brow of the young warrior,
Croghan, encirced 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 Har-
rison:
"Sir-The House of Representatives Of the In
diana territory in Their own name, and in behalf OF
their constituents, most cordially reciprocae the
congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
Prophet, and the tribes Of Indians cOnfederaed
with him; when we see displayed in behalf of our
country, not only the cOnsummae abilities of the
general, but the heroism OF the man and when we
take into view the benefits which must result to
that country form those exertions we cannot, for
moment, withhold our need of applause"
The following resolve of both houses Of the
Legislature Of Kentucky, will have a similar
effe ct on the nerves Of those who circulate the
Islander respecting the "white horse, and the
fall Of the gallant Col. Daviess:
Legislature Of Kentucky, Jan. 7, 1872.
Resolved By the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatves 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 Tipecanoe, he well deserves the warmeSl thanks
of his country and his nation.
Gen. Anthony Wayne, in his Letter to the Sec
rotary of War, giving an official account of his
sanguinary Indian Battle in 1892, said
my faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison,
indered the most essential service, by cOmmunica-
ting my orders in every direction and by his con-
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
victory.
The following resolution, which passed both
houses Of Congress, with but one dissenting voice,
is calculated to make the "pelticoat hero-, feel !
il such slanderers can feel any thing but the lash
"Resolved by the Senate and House of Represen-
tatve of the United States Of America in Congress
assembled, That the thanks Of Congress be, and
they are hereby, presnted to Major General VII.
