Col. Johnson said, Gn Congress)-
"Who is Gen. Harrison The of one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence, who
spent the greater part of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge lie then gave, of his fortune life and
sacred honor to secure the liberties Of his coun-
try.
'Of thc 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
crests, its perils 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 ilustrousy distinguished in the
field.

JAMES MADlsoN in special message 10 Con
grcss, Dec. IS, 1911, said,
While 1t is deeply lamented that so many vaiu-
able lives have been lost i'll the action which took
place on the 18th ultimo, Congress will sec with
satisfaction the dauntless spirit OF iorttude veto
rously displayed by every description OF troops en-
gagged, as lCeH as The collected frneSS Which d5Stin
guished their commander Oh an occasion requiring
Jte utmost erertions Of ra'our and discipline.
JAMES MAprsoY in his message to Congress,

An ample force from the States of Kentucky
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of few regulars under the command
of Bripadier Gen. HAREisoX, 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.
In Mr.. MADISoN's message oil Dec. 1913, the
cmpliment was extended as follows:
Tie success on Lake Erie having opened pas.
sage on the territory of the enemy the officer com
mandinp the Northwestern arms, transferred the
