"Who is Gen. Harrison The son ofone of the
signers Of the Declaration of Independence, who
spent the greater part of his large fortune III redeem
ing the pledge he then gave of his fortune, life and
sacred honor, to secure the liberties Of his coun
try.
.'Of tie career of Gen. Harrison l need not
speak-the history Of the West. is his history.
For forty wears he has been identified with it's in
terests, its pers 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-
haps, oftener in action than any one of thein und
never sustained defeat
JAMES MADISON, in special message to Con
gress, Dec. 10, 1911, said,
While 1t is deeply lamen,ed that so 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 ortitude victo
riously displayed by every description Of troops en-
gagged as iceH as the collected frmaeSS 'chich distn
guiShed their commander an OCCASION requiring
abe utmost erertiOnS Of raioHr 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 Brgadier Gen. HARRISON, possesses the entire
confidence of his fellow soldiers among whom are
citizens, 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 1918, the
compliment was extended, as follows:
The success on Lake Erie having opened pas
sage on the territory of the enemy, the officer
handing the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thither, 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 signaly honorable TO Major GEN
ERAL HARRISON, by whOse military talents ii ,sas
prepared.
The following tribute of praise was paid to Cen
eral Harrison, in lSll by eleven Of the officers
who fought under his banner at the BATTLE of Tip
pecanoe:
''Should our country again require our services to
oppose civilized or savage foe, we should march
under Gen. Harrison with the most perfect con-
fdcnce of victory aud fame"

Message of Symon Snyder, Governor of Pa.
Dec. TO- 1873
ALREADY is the brow of the young warrior,
Croghan, encircled with aurels, and the blessings
of thousapds of woman and children rescued from
the scaiping knife Of tho 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 recip-ocate the
congratulations of your Excellency 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 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"

sentatives Of the State of Kentucky that in the late
campaign against the Indians upon the Wabash
Gov. William Henry Harrison has behaved like
hero, patriot, and general and that for his cool
deliberate, skilful and gallant conduct in the battle
of Tipecunoe, he well deserves the warlncst 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
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 for
victory.

houses Of Congress, with but one dissenting voice
