The Homage of Justice.
We have compiled, from various sources, the fol
lowing disinterested testimonials, which were com
manded from tlffeir several authors by the lofty pa
triotism, talents and success of General Har
rison, long before he was named for the Presidency
and in times w hich ©light to give them weight suf
ficient to bear down all the petty calumnies and
quibbling which party raalignitymay now
presume to forgS against the war-worn and time
honored potriot and soldier.
The auihorilies we present against the attacks of
loco foco federalism, and which we havestereotyp
, ed as an impregnable barricade against all opposi
tion, are no less than the Congress of the United
States, the Legislatures of Indiana, and of Kentucky
James Madison, Jas. Monroe, Col. Richard M. John
son, Anthffny Wayne, Langdon Cheves, Simon Sny
der, Gov. Shelby, Corn. Perry, Col. Croghan, Col.
* Da vis, and others, including in the illustrious cata*
logue even Thomas Ritchie, Isaac Hill, John M.
Niles and Moses Dawson !
Col. Richard M. Johnson, now' Vice President of
the United States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is @en. Harrison ? Tiie son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of In lepeudence, who
spent thfegreater part of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, of his “ fortune, life
ypad sacred honor,” to secure the liberties of his
country.
“ Oft he career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
the history ofthe West, is his history. For forty
years he has been identified with its interests, its
perils and its hopes. 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 longer in active ser
vice than any other General officer; he was, per
haps, oftener in action than any one ot them, and
never sustained a defeat.”
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, 1811, said,
“ Waffle it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost in the action which took
place on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see with sat
isfaction the ikunllessspirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed oy every description of troops engaged,
as well as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commandei on an occasion requiring the ut*
most exertions of valor and discipline."
James Madron in his .Message to Congress. No
vember, 1812, 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 possesses the
entire confidence of his fellow’ soldiers, among
whypi are citizens some of them 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, transferred the
war thirlher, and, lapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminated in the capture of
the British, and dispersion of the savage force.
“ This result is signally honorable to Major Gen
eral Harrison, by whose military talents it was pre
• pared."
The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen
eral in 1811, by eleven of the officers w ho
fought under his banner at the battle of Tippeca
noe :
“Should our country again require our service to
oppose a civilized or a savage foe, we should march
under General Harrison w ith the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

• Extract of a letter from Col. Davis, who was kil
led at the battle of Tippecanoe, August 24, 1811:
“ I make free to declare, that I have imagined
there were tw o military men in the West, and Gen.
Harrison is the first of the two ”
Message of Simon Snyder, Governor of 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 children 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 12th Nov.
1811, the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Gen. Wm. Johnston, thus addressed General Harri
son.
“ Sir—The House of Representatives of the In
diana territory, in their own name, and m behalf of
their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the
congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet, and the tribes of Indians confederated
with when wo see displayed in 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 mus result to
O that country from those exertions, we cannot, for a
moment, fvitahold our meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved, By the Senate and House of Kepre-
of the State of Kentucky, in Ihe late cam
paign against the Indians upon the Wabash, Gov.
William Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a
patriot §id a general; and that for his cool, delib
erate, skilful and gallant, conduct in the battle of
Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest thanks
of his country and his nation
* Gen. Anthony Wa\ne, 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
revered the most essential service, by communica
tin? my girders in every direction, and by his con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
victory.”
Resolution directing the madals 'struck, and,Jto be
together with the thanks of Congress, presented
to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby,
and for other purposes.
Resolved , By the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the United States of America in Con
gress assembled, That the thanks.of Congress
be, and riiey are hereby, presented to Major Gen
eral William Henry Harrisor, and Isaac Shelby,
late Goveof Kentucky, and through them, to the of
ficers and fnen under their command, for their gal
lantry and good conduct in defeating the combined
British and Indian forces under Major General Proc
tor, on the Thames, in Upper Canada, on the fifth
® day of October, one thousand eight hundred and
capturing the British army, with their bag
age, camp equippage, and artillery ; and that the
President*)! the United States be requested to cause
two gold medals to be struck, emblematic of this
triumph, and be presented to General Harrison and
Isaac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky.
* ' H. Cr.AY,
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
John Gaillard,
President of the Senate, pro tempore.
April 4, 1818.—Approved,
e James Monroe.
Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says:
“ J leel no hesitation to declare to you that I 6e
heve Gen. Harrison to be one of the first military
chara&ers 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 hadproved him
self to be wise, prudent and brave."
Coixynodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, l£n7,says:
“ The prompt change made by you in the order of
battle on discovering the position of the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. I COHC ir With
?ne venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle of the
Thames.
“ The victory of Harrison, was such as would have
secured to a Roman General in the best days of the
Republic, the honors of a triumph ! He put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada."
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan:
*• I desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
“ I have felt the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. I feel every assurance that
he will at all times do me justice; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues (as in my humble opinion he has hither
to done) to make the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
Ids command will justify, I shall not hesitate to
unite with the army in bestowing upon him that
1 confidence which he so richly merits, and wh «h his
on no occasion been withheld.”
The Richmond Enquirer said;
“Gen Harrison’s letter tells us every thing that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself
He does justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore dojusticeto the man who
was too modest to be just to himself.”
From Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the
Thames :
“We have suffered greatly for the want of pro
visions, and the whole array has subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”
In all ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those
who are the least w illing to part with their rights,
and submit themselves to the will of a master.”
Wm. H Harrison.
“THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
—.May they ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting Wm. 11. Harrison.
“ General Harrison has done more for his coun
try, with less compensation for it, than any man
living.” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man li\ es, whose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not feel
a pride in the valor and patriotism of the 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 31. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his life of Perry published in
1821, 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 of the
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said ;
“It must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, and upon the
troops by whom it was achieved.
“ The scl 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 intrepedity, on the part of
militia, or a force of this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
“ 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.”

its perils, and ns hopes. Universally beloved 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 linger in actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, ©finer in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
Such is the man, who, still enjoying his untar
nished fame and glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence where neiiher 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 dangers which encompass it.”

ACADEMY OF RICHMOND COUNTY
fINHE Trustees of this institution are happy to
j have it in their power to state, that both the
principal Academy in Augusta, and the branch at
Summerville, have resumed their exercises, under
the management of Teachers who have the full
confidence of the Trustees, and who, they are sa
tisfied, are fully entitled to that of the public.
Mr. Ernenputsch, the Rector of the Academy,
already favorably known to the community, has
charge of the Classical department and all the
branches es education requisite for admission to
our best Colleges. His attainments as a scholar
and success in imparting useful knowledge, emi
nently qualify him for the discharge of the im
portant duties of his station.
Mr. Ring, the principal English Teacher, re
cently engaged by the Board, comes with the high
est recommendations as to character, talents, lite
rary attainments and skill in teaching, and the
Trustees feel assured that he will sustain the re
putation which led to his selection.
The branch of the Academy at Summerville is
under the immediate management of Mr. Frank
lin George, a gentleman of experience in teach
ing, and highly recommended. The advantage of
the location of this branch of the Academy in one
of the most healthful neighborhoods in the State,
and sufficiently remote from the unfavorable in
fluence of a crowded town, are too well known to
need comment.
On the whole, the Board confidently recommend
to the public the principal Academy and the Branch
at Summerville, as being on a better footing than
they have heretofore been, and promising great
usefulness to those who may avail themselves of
the advantages which they offer.

MOFFAT’S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
T JIHESE medicines are indebted for their name
A to thi ir manifest and sensible action in puri
fying the spring and channels ot life, and enduing
them with renewed tone and vigor. In many hun
dred certified cases which has been made public,
and in almost every species ol disease to which
the human frame is liable, the happy effects of
MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PIIENIX BIT
TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac
knowledged by the persons benefiitted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beau'ilully
philosophical principles upon which they are
compounded, and upon which they eonsequenlly
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases ol every form and description. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coals ot the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities constantly settling around them ; and to
remove the hardened faeces which collect t
convolusions of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costiveness with ell its train of evils, or m a sud
den diarrhoea, with its eminent dangers. This fact
is well known to all regular anatomists, who ex
amine the human bowels after death ; and hence
the prejudice of those well informed men against
quack medicines—or medicines prepared and her-
Jaded to the public bv ignorant persons. The se
cond effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the
kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the
liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which
entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary
organs. The blood, which takes its red color from
the agency of the liver and the lungs before it
passes into the heait, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food coming from a clean stom
ach, courses freely through the veins, renews every
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts tlio
banner of health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of
the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Head
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor
and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera,
Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies
of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consump
tion, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic
Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable
Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common
Colds and influenza, and various other complaints
which afflict the human frame. In fever and
ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been
most eminently successful; so muc hso that in t lie
Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versally prescribe them.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is
to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly
according to the directions. It is not by a news
paper notice, or any thing that he himself may say
in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is
alone by the result of a fair trial.
MOFFAT’S MEDICAL MANUAL ; designed
as a domestic guide to health.—This little pamphlet
edited by W. B. Moffat 375 Broadway New York,
has been published lor the purpose of explaining
more fully Mr. Moffat’s theory of diseases, and will
be found highly interesting to persons seeki g

Radical Cure ol Hernia or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
THE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson &Co., for the
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by means of these
ustly celebrated instruments. He has now used
them for nearly a year, and, did not delicacy forbid,
he could name several persons who have been radi
cally cured, of this truly distressing and dangerous
affection, by the use of these Trusses, besides many
others who are in a fairway of being entirely re
lieved. The following is the language of the com
mittee ot the Philadelphia Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernia.
“ The instruments of Dr. Chase have effected
the permanent and accurate retention of the in
testines in every case of Hernia observed by the
committee, "without material inconvenience to the
patient, and often under trials more severe than
are usually ventured upon by those who wear other
trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any
other apparatus known to he committee.”
“ The committee are induced by the foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in strong terras, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to the of
the profession, as the best known means of me
chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the
highest chances of radical cure.”
The following is from the Southern Medical and
Southern Journal, published in our own city.
“ All must admit of the radical cure of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best
yet invented to effect the object.”
Persons from a distance can have the instruments
applied, upon application at the office, and all ne
cessary information given to enable them to adjus
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under
this afflicting complaint, will be treated gratuitous
ly upon presenting a certificate,from someresponsi*
ble person, of their pecuniary disability.
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture,

TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF
FAMILIES.
DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, and
does not belong to the family of quack medicines;
for the reason that the component parts are made
known to the faculty, or any one else that may
wish to know, by any of the agents keeping them
for sale. Since this discovery so long and anx
iously looked for, some one in almost the extreme
North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to
be made from the stalk, a thing not more aosuiu
than for one to offer meal from the corn stalk, to ■
say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato
so far North.
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the
Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of
which, he holds himself bound, and in honor pledg
ed to prove by their use, that they are all that they
profess to be, and will do for others what they
have done for such as mav have used them ; as
vhis is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will
doubtless be valuable information to families to
know that the Yellow are just doubly as valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much
of the hapatine, or active principle, and when used
as a daily vegetable will be found to ke>p the
system in much better condition than the other
kind ; many will recollect with what trembling
anxiety calomel has been given to children, and
how they then wished for a substitute. It has
long been known that the Tomato contained ca
thartic principles, but not until of late was it
ascertained that they contarnea alterative and diu
retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use
the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that
they know what it is Were it a patent mystery,
they would be bound to reject the medicine, as they
justly do the one thousand and one cure-alls of the
day. If you wish to cleanse the system with a
mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato
Pill, of which a supply, we learn, will soon be in
his city. We all know somethmg about this,
