Coi. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
the United States, said (tn Congress'*—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence, 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 tho liberties ol his
" country.
“ Ofihe career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
- the history ofihe West, is his history. For Ibrty
years he has been identified with its interests, its
perils and its hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks ol pence, and distinguished by bis ability in
the councils of his country, he had been yet more
illustriously distinguished i the field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than any o* In r General officer; he was, per
haps, ollcner in action than any one of taem, and
never sustained a defeat.”
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December IS, 1811, said,
“ While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have her i lost in the action which look
place outlie 7th ultimo, Congress will tee with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of' roops engaged,
as well as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commandei on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor ai d discipline."
Janies Madison 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, tinder 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. Mad eon's message of December 1813, the
compliment was extended, as follows :
“ The success on Lake Erie having opened a pas
sage to lhe territory of the enemy, the ollicer com
manding the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thirlher, and,rapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminated in the capture of
the Rritish, 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 Harrison, 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 with the most perfect confi
dence of victory and lame.”

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 1 have imagined
there were two 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
ghaa, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
thousands of women and children rescued from tho
scalping knife of the ruthless savage of the wilder
ness, and from the still more savage Proctor, rest on
Harrison and his gallant army.”
In the Legislaiure ol 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 ow n name, and in behalf of
their constituents, most cordially reciprocate tho
congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet, and i lie tribes of Indians confederated
with him; when we see displayed in behalf of
our couniry, nor only the consummate abilities of
the general, but the heroism of the man ; and when
we rake into view lhe benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, for a
moment, withhold oik meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky , January 7, 1312.
« Resolved, By the Senate and House o( Reprc
tativesofthe Sfiate of Kentucky, in llie late cam

Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest thanks
of his country and his nation
Gen. Anthony Wat no, in his Letter to the Secre
tary of War, giving an official account of his san
guinary Indian Bailie, in 1792,suid :
“My faithful end gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered the most essential service, by communica

thirteen, capturing the British army, with their bag
age, camp equippage, and artillery and that the
President of the United States be requested to cause

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,
James Monroe.
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 "
afbd- Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813,says:
“ We did not waul tn serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one \ Harrison] who had proved him
self to be wise, prudent and brave."
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817, says:
t, “ The prompt change made by you in the order of
battle on dis* ovenng the position ol the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
degree of military talent. 1 com* ir with
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle of the
Thames.
“ 7Vi f victory of Harrison, was such as would have
secured to « Roman General in the best days of the
R> piddic, the honors ,f a triumph ! He put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada."
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephcnaon,Col.
Croghan :
‘•I desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
meat the expense of General Harrison.
“ 1 have Kit the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. I feci every assurance that
he will at all times do mo justice; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see lus enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues fas in my humble opinion he has hither
to done! to make tie wisest arrangements and tho
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
his command will justify, i shall not hesitate to
unite with the army m bestowing upon him that
m
confidence which he so richly merits, and which has
on no occasion been withheld.”
Tho Richmond Enquirer said:
“G en Ha prison's Ictier toils us every thing that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He docs justice to every otto but Harrison—and
the world must thercloro dojuslicc to the man who
was too modest to be just to himself.”
From Gen. Harrison’s report of tho battle of tho
Thames :
“W c have suffered greatly for tho want of pro
visions, ami the whole army has subsisted, for the.
las! three days, on raw beef without salt.”
&0 r> “ In all ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators ofihe soil are those
who are the least willing to part with their rights,
and submit themselves to the will of a master.”

{£t“TIIE PEOPLE OE THE U. STATES
— May they ever reruamhor that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting »V'm. H. Harrison.
“General Harrison lias 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 fixes, whose whole heart and soul is
pot British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in ?he late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that tines not feel
a pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes of
the West, who have treed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander ihe 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 Duren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his lile 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 he fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events at the
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of Ihe 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 action, and ihc movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidity el Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
j all the events of tho campaign support the.,;) char
j aciistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in-
I stance, been imputable to him.
“ Tinve are cerhaps on record few instances of
such cool and steady intrepedily, on the part of
militia, or a force ot ibis description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Ariel, and
arrived at Erie on the 2 - .'ci of October. Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
A'c. They w ere hailed as the deliverers of I lie
frontiers.”

SOUTH-CAKOLINA FK3IALE INSTI
TUTE.
fpilE duties of this Institution, under the direc-
J[ lion of Dr. Elias Marks and Rev. WEll
ington 11. Tvler, will be resumed on the first
October ensuing.
Twenty-two years of past service is the p’edge
which one o ' the above-named individuals offers,
for that which is forthcoming, lie is enabled,
from personal acquaintance, to testify as to the
superior qualifications of Mr. T. The following,
among other testimonials, are offered :
“Mr. Wellington 11. Tyler is a graduate of this
College. After taking his iir.it degree, be went to
Kentucky, where he proved himself to be an able
and laithtul teachei of youth. Being invited to
take a tutorship here, he returned and discharged
the tallies ol his office with great credit to himself
and advantage to the Institution. Since then, he
has studied J heojogy in the Andover Seminary,
and V now a very acceptable preacher of the Gos
pel.
ll affords me great pleasure to recommend him
to the public, as a m mot high moral and Christian
character, amt perfectly well qualified to lake
charge of anv Academy or High School, where his
services may be wanted. H. Humpixhey. Pres.
Amherst College, Sept. 16, 1839.”
“Amherst College, Sept. 20,1839.
This may certify. That tlie subscriber is tvcll
acquainted with the Rev. Wclliugton id. Tyler,
having known him as a membci of this College, of
which lie is an alumnus, mniafterwards as a Tutor
in ,lie College, and since as a licensed preacher
resident in this place ; and I take great pleasure
in recommending him m ihe public confidence as a
Christian and a mini. -ter, ami also as a scholar and
gentleman, highly qualified by his abilities,attain
ments, and general character, to superintend the
instruction of youth of either sox in ary of our
literary institutions. N. W.Fiske,
Prof. Int. and Mor. Phry.”
Mrs.T. is amply recommended by the Principals
of the Troy Female Seminary, and abo by Profs.
Yales of i nmn College, and Joslin of the New
York l niver ily.
The Principals of the Institute, in the discharge
of the highly icsponsibleduties which will devolve
upon them, w I 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
th a the admiration too often bestowed upon er
ratic genius and fanciful attainments. The former
requires the symmetrical devclopcmcnl of all the
faculties which make up the mental and moral
constitutions, and, under no circumstances of future
life, will it leave the pupil in the condition of a
traveller, who should receive for bis guidance a
map of a different country from that in which be
is to travel.
They will aim at permanent results. The pow
er and tho habit of reasoning arc worth mote than
any number of the results of others’ rcasonii g;—
the love of knowledge anti a mind well disciplined
and dire; ted sor ■ future arcuisitions, are a greater
blessing than any amount of knowledge without
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
highest practicable degree, the advantages o home
education with those which, in the general, can
only be enjoyed abroad, where many are brought
togctlici for thessme object;—at concentrating the
endearments of home, its social sentiments and its
proprieties of die —for the improvement and the
enjoyment of those w no may thus be removed front
the danger of being injuriously involved in fash
ionable dissipation, or being 100 early occupied
with distracting domestic cares and avocations.
It will be perceived that the new arrangement
leaves the identity of the Institute untouched. It
will be the same in its objects and aims—the same
in its internal arrangements, in its religious aspects
and in the sentiments ol 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 largo, res
pecting out 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 appiobation.
The regular Term of the Institute consists of
nine months, commencing on the Ist of October,
and terminating on the last day of 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 al any period us the Term,
and charged only for the unexpired portion of the
Term.
The Institurion will be open five days of the
week, during me hours of recitation, from 6 a. m.
to o r. m. to the inspection of patrons and those
interested in the cause of Female Education.
No expenditures wiM be made for pupils, for
books, siationaiv, postage, and necessary articles,
such a- shoes, unless an advance is made, in
1 deposite, for the same.
All letters to Principals must be post-paid.
We recommend to patrons and others to post-pay
their letters, addrcs.-cd to the inmates ol the in
’ stitule, in Older to anticipate errors of double post
age upon the part of Postmasters.
