The Hornase of Justice.
We have c ompiled, 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 ot General ilar
rison, long before he was named for the Presidency
and in times which ought to give them weight suf
ficient to bear down all the petty calumnies and
quibbling objections which party malignitymay now
presume 10 forgo against the war-worn and time
honored potriot and soldier.
The authorities we presenl against the attacks of
loco foco federalism, and which we have stereotyp
ed as an impregnable barricade against all opposi
tion, are no less titan the Congress of the United
States , the I.eglflutures of Indiana, and o [Kentucky
James Madison, Jap. Monroe, Col. Richard M. John
son, Anthony Wayne, Langdon Cheves, Simon *.un
der, Gov. Shelly,'Coir. Perry, Col. Croghan, Col.
Davis, and others, including in the illustrious cata«
Jogne even Thomas Ritchie , Isaac Hill, John M.
fifties and Moses Dawson !
Col. Richard M. 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 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 the liberties of his
country.
“ Os the 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
peftls 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 oi her General officer; he was, per
haps, oltcner in 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 commandei 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 Stales 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
war thtrlher, 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 U was pre
pared. 1 '
The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, by eleven of the olficers 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
dence of victory and fame.”

Extract of a letter from Col. Davis, who was kil
led at the battle of Tippecanoe, August 24, 1S11:
“ I make free to declare, that i 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
ghan, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
thousands of women and children rescued from the
scalping kniie ot the ruthless savage of the wilder
ness, ami from the still more savage Proctor, rest on
Harrison and his gallant army.”
In the Legislature of Indiana, on the !2thNov.
1811, the 8 peaker 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 in behalf of
their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the
congratulations of your Excellency oh the glorious
result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet, and the tribes of Indians confederated
with him; when wo see displayed in behalf of
our country, not only the consummate abilities of
the general, but the heroism of the man; and when
we fake into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, for a
moment, withhold oik meed ot applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved, By the Senate and House of Kepre
tatives 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 and 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 ins country and his nation.

Gen. Anthony Wayne, in bis 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.”
Resolution directing ihe raadals "struck, and,Jto be
together with the thanks of Congress, presented
to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby,
and for other purposes.
Resolvefßy the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the United States of America in Con
gress assembled, That the thanks of Congress
they are hereby, presented to Major Gen
eral fvViliiam Henry liarrisor, and Isaac Shelby,
late Gov. of Kentucky, and through them, to the of
ficers and men 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
thirteen, capturing the British army, with their hag
age, camp cquippage, and artillery ; and that the
President of 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 o 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. 1 '
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 he wise, prudent and brave. 11
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817, 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 concur with
the 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. 11
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan:
‘•1 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 tha t 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) tom ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
his command will justify, I shall not hesitate to
unite with tne army in bestowing upon mm tnat
confidence whichheso richly merits, and which bus
on n<»occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said:
“(Jen Harrison’s letter tells ua everything that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He does justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore do justice to 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 army has subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”
“ In nil ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those
who are the least willing to part w ith their rights,
and submit themselves to the will of a master.”
Wm. H. Harrison.
2Cr“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. H. Harrison.
“ General Harrison has done more for his coun
try, with less compensa on for it, than any man
living.” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said ;
“ What man li\ cs, whose whole heart and sou! 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 M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his file 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 action, and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidity of Gen. Harrison; and, ifideed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
aclistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances of
such coo-1 and steady intrepcdity, 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, illummalions
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”

“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
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, oftner in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat. 11
Such is the man, who, still enjoying his untar
nished fame and glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy
can assail him, is now summoned hy 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 !!

VALUABLE LANDS FOR SALE IN
GREENE COUNTY.
WE offer for sale one thousand eight hundred
acres of Land, lying in Greene county, on

adapted to the culture of cotton and corn, and grain
of all kinds ; and as to health, none more so in
Georgia—well watered —in fact it cannot be beat
for good water and a plenty of it. Should any per
son wish such a settlement, they will of course
lookfor themselves—we therefore deem it unneces
sary to say any thing farther about it. We should
be pleased to sell soon, so as to enable us to make
our other arrangements.

FEMALE INBTI
TIIE duties of tins Institution, under the direc
tion of Dr. Elias Marks and Rev Well
ington H. Tyler, will be resumed on the first
October ensuing. . .
Twenty-two years of past service is the pie l n e
which one of the above-named individuals offers,
for that which is forthcoming. He is enabled,
from personal acquaintance, to testify as to the
superior qualifications of Mr. T. Ihe following,
among other testimonials, are offered :
“Mr. Wellington H. Tyler is a graduate of tins
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, he returned and discharged
the duties of his office with great credit to himself
and advantage to the Institution. Since (hen, he
has studied Theology in the Andover Seminary,
and is now a very acceptable preacher of the Gos-
P It affords me great pleasure to recommend him
1 to the public, as a man of high moral and Christian
character, and perfectly well qualified to take
charge of any r Academy or High School, where his
services may be wanted. II Humphrey, Pres.
Amherst College, Sept. 16, 1839.”
“Amherst College, Sept. 20, 1839.
This may certify. That the subscriber is well
acquainted with the Rev. Wellington H. 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
1 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 oui
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
York University.
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
• them the admiration too often bestowed upon cr
ratic genius and fanciful attainments. The former
requires the symmetrical developcment of all the
faculties which make up (he mental and moral
constitutions, and, under no circumstances of future
life, wall it leave the pupil in the condition of a
traveller, who should receive for his guidance a
map of a different country from that in which be
is to travel.
They will aim at permanent results. The pow-
I er and tho habit of reasoning arc worth more than
any number of the results of others’ rcasonii g; —
the love of knowledge and a mind well disciplined
> and directed for future acquisitions, are a greater
I blessing than any amount of knowledge without
such guaranties for its perpetuity and increase, as
a Jiving 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 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 li!e —for (be improvement and IHe
enjoyment of (hose who may thus be removed from
! the danger of being injuriously involved in sash
. ionable dissipation, or being 100 early occupied
with distracting domestic cares and avocations,
ll will be perceived that the new arrangement
’ leaves (he identity of the institute untouched, it
will be (he same in its objects and aims—the same
in its internal arrangements,in ils 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 a I ready and repeatedly
been submitted to the notice of the public, and us
it would seem, met their appiobatiou.
The regular Terra of the Institute consists of
nine months, commencing on the Ist of October,
and terminating on the last day cf June. Term
div ided into tiro Sessions, of four and a half months
each. Second Session commences on the second
Monday in February, terminating on the last day

interested in the cause of Female Education.
