"Who is Gen. Harrison The son of one 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 and
sacred honor, to the liberties Of his coun-
try.
.'Of TIE 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, aud 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 lie was per-
haps, oftener in action than any one Of them, and
never sustained defeat"
JAMES MADISON, in special message to Con
gress, Dec. 1S, 1911, said,
While 1t is deeply lamened that so many vaiu-
able lives have been lost i'll the action which took
place on the 18th ultmo, Congress will see with
satisfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude vcto
riously displayed by every description Of troops

Tie utmost erertiOnS Of rdtoW 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.
II Mr.. MAD1soN's 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
manding the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war tbither, 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
cree.
This result is signaly honorable to Major GEN

CrOghan, encircled with laures, and the blessings
of thousands Of woman and children rescued from
the alping knife of the ruthless savages Of the
