The Homage of Justice.
We have compiled, from various sources, the fol
lowing disinterested testimonials, which were com
manded from their several authors by the lofty pa
triotism, valor, talents and success of General Har
rison, long before he was named for the Presidency
and in times which ought to give them weight suf
ficient to bear dour, all the petty calumnies and
quibbling objections which party malignitymay now
presume to forge against the war-worn and time
honored potriot and soldier.
The authorities we present against the attacks of
loco foeo federalism, and which uc have stereotyp
ed as an impregnable barricade against ail opposi

States, the legislatures of Indiana , end oi Kentucky

Col. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
the United Slates, said, (m 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, life
and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties of his
country.
“ Os the career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
- the history ofrlie West, is his history. For forty
years he has been identified with its ini* rests, its
perils and us hopes. Universally b--loved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils of his country, he had been yet mote
illustriously distinguished in the field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than any o'her General officer; he was, per
haps, oltenerin action than any one of them, and
never sustained a defeat.”
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, 1811, said,
“ While 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 dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
as well as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commandet on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline .”
James Madison in his Message to Congress, No
vember, 1812,said,
“ An ample force from the Slates 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
. whom 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
w ar thmhcr, 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.
4 ‘ 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 Harrison, in 1811, by eleven of the officers who
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 with the most perfect confi
;f deuce of victory and fame.”

“ 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 12lhNov.
1811, the 8 peaker of the House of Representatives,
Gen. Wm. Johnston, thus addressed General Harri
son.
a Sir—The House of Representatives of the In
diana territory, in their own name, and tn behalf of
£39 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 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
w e take into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, for a
moment, w ithhold ou*- meed of applause.”

“ Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre

Gen. Anthony Wayne, in his Letter to the Secre

Gov. Shelby to xMr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says :

Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July

“ U e did not want to serve under cowards or trai

self to be wise, prudent and brave."
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817, says:
“ The prompt change made by you in the order ol
hat tie on discovering the position of the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
degree of military talent. 1 cone tr win
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon Chevcs, on the battle of tae
Thames. .
“ The victory of Harrison, was such as would have
secured to a Roman General in the best days oj the
Republic, the honors of a triumph I He put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada."
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan: . , ,
‘•l desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
>. | have l* It the warmest attachment for linn as a
man and my confidence in him as an abiecomman
der remains unshaken. JfeeJ every assurance that
lie will at ail times do me justice; and nothing
could <rivo me in >re pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriend.y
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues (as .n my humble opinion lie his hither
ludoiio/t>‘make the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the forces under '
his command will justify, 1 shall not hesitate to
unite with the army iu bestowing upon him that
confidence which he so richly met its, and which has
on no occasion been withheld.”
The Richmond Enquirer said:
“Gen Harrison’s letter tells as everything that
we wish to know about, the officers, except himself.
He does justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore dojasiicoto 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 t lie whole army has subsiste d for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”
44 hi all ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators of the s >il are those
who are the least willing to part with their rights,
and submit themselves to the will of a master.”
Wm. II Harrison.
“THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
Bay they ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting. Wm. H. Harrison.
41 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:
44 What man IF es, whose w hole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that docs 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 he such an
one, he is a traitor to the country —he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Curcn candid itcforGov.
in Connecticut, in Ids lile of Perry published in
1821, alter gi\ ing a general biography ot Gen Har
rison, said ;
44 The defence of Fort Meigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British army,may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events as the
late w ar.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said :
44 It must be conceded that this victory ref ected
great honor upon the national arms, and npen the
troops by whom it was achieved.
44 The action, 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 those char
aclislics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
44 There are perhaps on record few instances ol
such cool and steady intrepedity, 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 t lie 32d of October. Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&e. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers. ”

44 Os the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not

|in the cour.ciis of his country,he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field. During the

action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."

and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy
can assail him, is now’ summoned r>y his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life

SOUTH-CAROHNA FEMALE INSTI
TUTE.,
riNHR djlies of this Institution,under the diiec
| tion of Dr. Elias Marks and Rev. Well
ington 11. Tyler, will be resumed on the first
October ensuing.
Twenty-two years of past service is the p'edge
which one of the above-named individuals offers,
for that which is forthcoming. He is enabled,
from personal acquaintance, to testify as to ihe
superior qualifications of Mr. T. The following,
among other testimonials, are offered ;
“Mr. Wellington H. Tyler is a graduate of this
, College After taking his first degree, he went to
Kentucky, where he proved himself to be an able
and faithful teacher of youth. Being invited to
take a tutorship here, lie returned and discharged
the duties of his oliice with great credit to himself
and advantage to the Institution. Since then, he
has studied Theology in the Andover Seminary,
and is now a very acceptable preacher of the Gos
pel.
It affords me great pleasure to recommend him
to the public, as a mm of high moral and Christian
character, and perfectly well qualified to take
charge of any Academy or High School, where his
services may be wanted. II Humphrey, Pres.
Amherst College, Sept. 16, 1539.”
“Amherst College, Sept. 20, 1839.
This may certify, That the subscriber is well
acquainted with the Rev. Wellington JI. Tyler,
having known him as a member of this College, of
which he is an alumnus,and afterwards as a Tutor
in the College, and since as a licensed preacher
resident in this place ; and I take great pleasure
in recommending him to the public confidence as a
i Christian and a minister, and also as a scholar and
gentleman, highly qualified by his abilities, attain
ments, and general character, to superintend the
; instruction of youth of either sex in ary of our
■ literary institutions. N. W. Fiske,
Prof. Int. and Mor. Phi’y.”
, Mrs. T. is amply recommended by the Principals
’ of the Troy Female Seminary, and also by Profs.
Yates of Union College, and Joslin of the New
I York University.
I The Principals of the Institute, in the discharge
of the highly icsponsible duties which will devolve
’ upon them, will aim at practical results, and at
tempt rather to qualify those submitted to their
care for the duties of real life, than to gain for
j them the admiration too often bestowed upon cr-
C ratio genius and fanciful attainments. The former
. requires the symmetrical developcment of all the
faculties which make up the mental and moral
} constitutions, and, under no circumstances of future
r life, will it leave the pupil in the condition of a
[ traveller, who should receive for his guidance a
i map of a different country from that in which he
is to travel.
They will aim at permanent results. The pow
er and the habit of reasoning are worth more than
any number of the results of others’ reasonit g; —
the love of knowledge ami a mind well disciplined
and directed for future acquisitions, are a greater
1 blessing than any amount of knowledge without
I such guaranties for its perpetuity and increase, as
a living fountain is worth more than a stagnant
reservoir of however great dimensions.
They will aim, in short, at combining, in the
I highest practicable degree, the advantages of home
education with those which, in the general, can
[ only be enjoyed abroad, where many are brought
> together for the same object;—at concentrating the
endearments of home, its social sentiments and its
[ proprieties of lite —for the improvement and the
enjoyment of those who may thus be removed from
, the danger of being injuriously involved in fash
r ionabic dissipation, or being too early occupied
with distracting domestic cares and avocations,
it will be perceived that the new arrangement
, leaves the identity of the institute untouched. It
I will be the same in its objects and aims—the same
in its internal arrangements, in its religious aspects
and in the sentiments of its conductors, as they
regard the domestic institutions of the South. —
Hence the propriety of omitting here much that
must otherwise have been detailed at large, res
pecting our arrangements and the advantages of
them —matters, which have already and repeatedly
been submitted to the notice of the public, and as
it would seem, met their approbation.
t The regular Term of the Institute consists of
nine months, commencing on the Ist of October,
and terminating on the last day cf June. Term
divided into two Sessions, of four and a half months
each. Second Session commences on the second
Monday in February, terminating on the last day
of June.
It is every way desirable that pupils should enter
at the commencement of the Term ; they will,
however, be received at any period of the Term,
and charged only for the unexpired portion of the
• Term.
The Institurion will be open five days of the
week, curing the hours of recitation, from 6 a m.
to a x* m. to the inspection of patrons and those
interested in the cause of Female Education.
No expenditures will be made for pupils, for
Looks, s'ationary, postage, and necessary articles,
such as shoes, c. unless an advance is made, in
deposite, for the same.
All letters to Principals must be post-paid.
We recommend to patrons and others to post-pay
their letters, addressed to the inmates of the in
stitute, in order to anticipate errors of double post
age upon the part of Postmasters.

MOFFAT S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
f JMHESE medicines are indebted for their name
« to tin 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 eases winch has been made public,
and in almost every species of 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 beauiilully
philosophical principles upon which they are
compounded, and upon which they eonsequenily
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases ot every form and description. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coals of the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities constantly settling around them ; and to
remove the hardened feces which collect
convolusions of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costivencss with > II its train ofevils. or in a sud
den diarrhoea, with its eminent dangers. This lact
is well known to all regular anatomists, who ex
amine Ihe human bowels after death ; and hence
the prejudice of those well informed men against
quack medicines —or medicines prepared and her
laded to the public bv ignorant p< rsons. 'J he 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 hcaA, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food corning from a clean stom
ach, courses freely through the veins, renews every
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the
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

in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit, it is
alone by the result of a fair trial.

ACADEMY OF RICHMOND COUNTY
fJNHE Trustees of this institution are happy to
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 know'll to the community, has
charge of the Classical department and all the
branches of 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, tiie 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 w'ill 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
tlie advantages which they offer.

Radical Cure ol Hernia or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
FINHK subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
1 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 y r ear, 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- i
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 the committee.”
“ The committee are induced by the foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in strong terms, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to the confidence of
the profession, as the best known means of me
chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the
highest chances of radical cure.”
The fallowing 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.”
Pcrsonsfrom a distance can have the instruments
applied, upon application at the otlice, 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. I
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture,

TOTHE FACULTY ANT> HEARS OF •
FAMILIES.
DR. MILES' COMPOUND EXT RACT 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 1
North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to 1
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 1
Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of
which, lie 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 i
have done for such as mav have used them ; as
whis 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 keep 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
ascertainc J that urey coniamea alterative and diu
retre 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. Jfyou wish to cleanse the system with a
mild, sa.c ami-bilious medicine, use the Tomato
Pill, of which a supply, we learn, will soon be in
his city- We ali know something aoout mis.
