Col. Richard IM. Johnson, now V ice President of
the United States, said, (in Congress;—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of In lependence, who
spent the greater part of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, of his *' fortune, hie
and sacred honor,” to secure the Lbortiej of his
country. , , .
“ Os the career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
the history of the West, is his history, ror forty
years he has been identified with Us interest*, its
penis and Us hope*. Universally beloved in the
walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils of his country, he had been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field
« During the late war, he was longi-rin active ser
vice than any o’her General officer; he was, per
haps, ollener in action than any one ot them, and
never sustained a defeat.
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, 1811, said,
u While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost in the action which took
place on the 7lh ultimo, Congress will see with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
as wdl as the colte< led firmness which distinguished
(heir commandei on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline."
James Madison in his Message to Congress. No
vember, 181*2, said,
“ An ample force from the States of Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, under the command
of Brigadier General Harrison, who jiosscsscs the
entire confidence of his fellow soldiers, among
whom are citizens some of ihem volunteers in the
ranks, not less distinguished by their political sta
tions than by their personal merits.”
In Mr. Madison’s message of December 1813, the
compliment was extended, as follows :
“ The success on Lake Erie having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com
manding the Northwestern arms, transferrer! the
war thirl her, nnd,iapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with I her savage associates.forced a general
action, w hich quickly «erminat d tn the capture of
the Briiiah, and dispersion of the savage force.
“ This result is signally honorable to Major Gen
eral Harrison, by whose military talent* it axis pre
pared. ”
The following tribute ol praise was pair! to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, by eleven of the officers who
fought under his banner at the battle cf Tippeca
noe .
“Should our country again require our service to
oppose a civilized or a savage foe, we should inarch
under General Harrison with the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

Harrison is the first of the two ”
Message of Simon Bnyder, Governor t f Penn
sylvania, December 10, 1813
“ Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
thousands of women and ..luidren rescued from the
scalping knife ot the ruthless savage of the wilder
ness, and from the still more savage Proctor, rest on
Harrison and his gallant army.”
In the Legislature of Indiana, on the 12lhN«v.
1311, the S pcaker of the House of Representatives,
(fen. Wm Johnston, thus addressed general Harri
son.
“ Sir—The House of Representatives of the In
diana territory, in their own name, and in behalf of
their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the
congratulations ol your Excellency on the glorious
result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet, and the tribes ol Indians confederated
with him; when wc 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 from those exertions, we cannot, lot a
moment, w ithhold ou<- meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved, By the Senate and House ol Kepre
tativesof the Stated Kentucky, in the late cam
paign against the Indians upon the Wabash, Gov.
William Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a
patriot and a general; and that for his cool, delib
erate, skilful and gallant conduct in the batile of
Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest thanks
©of his country and his nation.
Gen. Anthony Wavne, in his Letter to the Secre
tary of War, giving an official account of his san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, 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.”

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says :
“ 1 feel no hesitation to declare to you that I be
lieve Gen Harrison to be one of the first military
characters I ever knew."
Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813,says :
“ We did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [Harrison] who had proved him
self to be wise, pi udent and brave."
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817, says:
“ The prompt change made by you in the order of
battle on discovering the position ot the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high

The Richmond Enquirer said :

He docs Justice to every one but Harmon—and
the world must therefore doju>nceto the man who

From Gen. Harrison « report of the battle of the
Thames: , c
“We have suffered greatly for the want ol pro
visions, and the w'hole army has suhstste", for the

liberties, they must do their own voting and their

“(iencml Harrison has done more for his coun
try with less compensation for it, than a.ty man
jiy£ ie » President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23,1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said : ...
“ What man incs, w hose w hole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Ferry and Harrison, that does not feel
a pride in the valor and patriotism of l lie heroes of
the West, who have freed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahawk and scalping knife ! If there be such an
one, he is a traitor to the country —he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his life of Perry published in
1321, after giving a general biography of Gen- Har
rison, said :
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British army, may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events A the
late war.”
In alluding to the baltleof the Thames, he said ;
“If must be concedtd that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms , and upon the
troops by whom it was achieved.
“The ad ion. and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the Judgement and
cool intrepidity of Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“There are perhaps on record few instances of
such cool and steady intrepidity, on the part of
militia, or a force of this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
44 Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Ariel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”
An Eloquent Record.

most flattering w ritten approbation of Gen Wayne.
In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed
in command of Fort tV ashing:on.
In 1797, he was appomied, by President Adams,
Secretary of the North-western Territory and cx
officio Li. Governor

On the 31st July, ’Bl3, the battle of Fort Ste

On the sth October, 1813, he gained the splendid

1« 1814, he was appointed by Madison one of

negotiated a treaty at Detroit.
In 1816, he was elected a member of Congress.

Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke

“Os the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not
speak—the history of the west is his history For
forty years he has been identified with its interests,
its perils, and its hopes. Universally beloved in
j the walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability
lin the councils of his country,he has been yet more
j illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
late war, he was Unger m actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, |>erhaps, oftner in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
Such is the man, who, still enjoying his untar
nished lame and glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy
can assail him, is now summoned by his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of the nation, “and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !

articles consigned to thorn by the Rail Road being
discharged from the cars immediately in front of
their gale, renders drayage unnecessary. To
guard against accidents to teams, cotton from

TWENTY REWARD.
KRANAWAY from the subscriber, lit ing
in Morgan county, near Park’s Bridge, on
the Oconee river, my negro man Nelson,
about twenty five years of age, six feet
high, well proportioned, a little yellow, of a good
countenance, high forehead, his upper eyeteeth
decayed, which is easily perceived when he talks
or smiles, and has little tosny unless spoken to. —
He left ray premises cn the 9th of August, and
wore off a pair of homespun nankeen pantaloons,
and took off with him a pair of blue Kentucky
jeans, and a cloth cap. Nelson is a tolerable black
smith, and fond of gambling, and is sure, if t.-.ken
up, to deny his name and his owner’s name, as he
has runaway twice before. Once I got him out of
Augusta jail, and once from Charleston, S. C. I
purchased him from Bcnj. Davis in Hamburg.
Any information will be thankfully received, and
the above reward will be paid for his lodgment in
any jail so that I get him.

REWARD.—Ranaway from the

negio boy named Scott, 18 or 19 years old, 5 feet
10 inches nigh, rather light complexion, looks very
pleasing when spoken to, very intelligent, and re
markably polite in his impertinent, spare made and
straight. He took with him, from me, about SIOO
in money, $25 of which was American gold, the
balance in bills of the Planters’ and Mechanics’
Bank of Columbus. Also, a fine gold watch and
chain with square link?. lam inclined to believe
he has been seduced away by some white man as
he has hitherto been trust worthy and honest as’far
as I have known.
He was raised in Charlotte, N. C., and may
possibiy endeavor to get back, but will more pro
bably endeavor to get to a tree State, either by
way of Apalachicola or through the up country as
he has been heard to express a desire to get to
Ohio or Philadelphia.
I will give the above reward of lour hundred
dollars, for the apprenension of the boy and thief
ana their delivery to me, with sufficient evidence
to convict them or S2OO tor the boy and the watch,
or $l5O for the boy alone, or a proportionate reward
for his confinement in jail, and information so that
I get him WM. D. LUCAS.
