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 Us hopes Universally beloved in the walks ol peace, and distinguished by Ins ability in the councils of his country, he had been yet more illustriously distingu'shed in the field. “ During the late war, he was longer in aetive ser vice than any o'her General officer; he was, per hapH, oitener in action than any one ol them, min never sustained a defeat. _ James Madison, in a special message to Congress December 18, 1811, said, , M 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 winch distinguished iheir commondei 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 ol 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 LakeTSrie having opened a pas sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com manding the Northwestern arms, transferred the war thirl her,and,tapidly pursuing the hostile troops fleeing with thei: savage associates,forced a general action, which quickly terminal d in the capture of the British, and dis}*ersion 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 ol praise was paid to Gen eral Harrison, in 1811, hj eleven of the officers who fought under his banner at the battle of Tippeca noe ; “Should ourcountry 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.’ JOEL COOK, R.

Davis, who was kil led at the battlecf Pippecanoe, August 24, 1811; “ I make free to declare, t hat 1 have imagined there were two military men in the West, and Gen. Harrison is the first of ihe two ” Message ol 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 , hildren rescued from the scalping kuileol 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. 181 the 8 peaker of the House of Representatives, Geu.VVm. 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 on the glorious result ofthe lute sanguinary conflict with the Shaw nee Prophet, and ihe tribes o( 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 we take into view the 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, 1812. “ Resolved , By the Senate and House ol Rcpre tativesof the Siateof Kentucky, in ihe late cam paign against tne Indians upon live Wabash, Gov. William Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a patriot and a general; and that for Ins cool, delib erate, skilful aud gallant conduct in the battle of Tippecanoe, be will deserve the warmest thanks of his country and his nation Gen. Anthony Wa\ne, inliis 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’he madals struck, and,Jto be together with the thanks of Congress, presented to Major General Harrison, and Gov.

Resolved , By ihe Senate and House of Repre sentatives of the United States of America in Con gress assembled, That the thanks of Congress be, and they are hereby, presented to Major Gen eral William Henry Harnsoi . and Isaac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky, and through them, to the of ficers and men under their commend, 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 array, with their bag age, camp eqmppage, and artillery ; and that the President of the United Slates 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 ol the Senate, pro tempore. April 4, 1818.—Approved, James Monroe. Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814, says: “ I (oe! no hesitation to declare to you that I be lieve Gen Harrison to be one of the fist military characters I ever knew." Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July 4, 1813,says ; ® “ Wc did not want to seme under cowards or trai tors ; but under one [Harrison] who had proved him self to be wise, prudent and brats'." Commodore Perry’ to tscneral 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 DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. 1 CoOC IT With the venerable Shelby in bis general approbation of your conduct in that campaign.” Honorable Langdon Chevcs, on the battle of the @ Thornes. “ I he victory of Harrison, was such as would have secured to a R-tmitn General in the (test days of the Republic, the honors of a triumph ! He put an end to the War in thy Cppermast Canada." Sentiments ot ’.he Hero ot Fort Stephenson, Col. Croghan: *’ I desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon me at the expense ol General Harrison. “ I have kit the warmest attachment for him as a man, and my confidence m him as an able comman der remains unshaken. 1 feel every assurance that he will at all times do me justice; and nothing could give me more pain than to sec his enemies seize upon ibis occasion to deal out their unfriendly feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he continues (as in ray humble opinion he has hither to done! turn ake the wisest arrangements and the most judicious disposition, which the forces under his command will justify, i shall not hesitate to unite with me army in Destowing upon nim that " bich l, “* on no occasion been withheld. us everything that we wish to know about the officers, except himself He <k>es justice to every one but Harrison- and the world must therefore dojustice to the man who was too modest to be just to himself.” From Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the 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. DOT “ In all ages, and in all countries, it has been observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those who arc the least willing to parr with their rights, and submit themselves tu them!! of “ PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES Mav thev ever remember that to preserve their liberties, they must do their own vot |Jf their own fighting , ♦' M - H. Harrison “ General Harrison has done more for his coun try with less compensation for it, than any man living.” President Madison. the New Hampshire Patriot said : “ What man lit cs, whose whole heart and soul is pot British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not teel 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 mu rdf rer.” John M. Niles, late Van Bnren candidate for Gov. in Connecticut, in his hte 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 cf Gen. Harrison; and, indeed, all the events of the campaign support these char actistics ; the disasters attending it having, in n© 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, us 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.” An Eloquent Record. William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on the 9ih of February, 1773. In 1791, when 19 years of age, he was appointed by Washington an Ensign in our infant army. In 1792, he was promoted to the rank of Lieu tenant: and in 1793, joined the legion under Gen. Wayne,ami in a few days thereafter, was selected by him as one of his Aids. On the 24th of August, 1794, he distinguished himself in the battle ot the Miami, and elicited the most flattering w ritten approbation of Gen Wayne. In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed in command of Fort Washington. In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams, Secretary of the North-western Territory and ex offudo Lt. Governor. “ In 1798, he was chosen a delegate to Congress. In 1801, he was appointed Governor of Indiana, and in the same year, President Jefferson appointed him sole Commissioner for treating with the In dians. In 1809, he was re-appointed Governor of Indi ana by Madison. On the7th November, 1811, he gained the great victory of TIPPECANOE On the 11th September, 1812, he was appointed by Madison, Coramander-in-Chief of the North western army. On the Ist May, 1813, the seige ot Fort Meigs commenced—lasted five days, and was terminated by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gen. Har rison. On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste phenson occurred. On the sth October, 1813, hegained-the splendid victory of the THAMES, over the British and In dians under Proctor. In 1814, he was ap pointed by Madison one of the Commissioners to rear with the Indians, and in the same year, with his colleagues Gov. Shelby and Gen. Cass, concluded the celebrated treaty of Greenville. In 1815, he was again appointed such Commis sioner, with Gen. Me Arthur and Mr. Graham, and negotiated a treaty at Detroit. In 1816, he was elected a member of Congress. In January, 1818, he introduced a resolution in honor of Kosciusko, and supported it in one of the most feeling, classical and eloquent speeches ever delivered in the House of Representalives. In 1819, he was elected a member of the Ohio Senate In 1824, he was elected Senator in Congress, and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of the Mili tary Committee, in place of Gen. Jackson, who had resigned. In 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia, and, in 1829, wrote his immortal letter to Bolivar the deliverer of South America. Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President)thus spoke in the House of Representatives w hilst a member of that body : “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 wdth its interests, its perils, and hs 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, lie was Unger 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 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 !!

After taking his first degree, he went to Kentucky, where he proved lumselt to be an able and faithful teacher of youth. Being invited to take a tutorship here, he returned and discharged the duties of hisollice 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- Pe it affords me great pleasure to recommend him to the public, as a man of high moral and C hustian 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, 1839.” “Amherst College, Sept. 20, 1809. This may certify, That the subscriber is well acquainted with the Rev. Wellington 11. Tyler, bavin* known him as a member of this College, of which o 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 Christian and a minister, and also as a scholar and gentleman, highly qualified hy his abilities, attain menls, and general character, to superintend the instruction ot youth of either Sv x in at y of out 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 hy Profs. Yates of Union College, and Joslin ot the New York University. The Principals of the Institute, in the discharge of the highly icsponsiblc 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 i-r --ratic genius and fanciful attainments. The former requires the symmetrical devclopcment 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 his guidance a 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 1 any number of the results of others’ rcasonii g;— the love of knowledge anil a mind well disciplined and directed for future acquisitions, 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 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 life—for the improvement and the f enjoyment of those who may thus be removed from , the danger of being injuriously involved in sash • ionablc dissipation, or being too early occupied ■ with distracting domestic cares and avocations. I 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 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. 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, during the hours of recitation, from 6 a m. to 5 p. m. to the inspection of patrons and those interested in the cause of Female Education. No expenditures will be made for pupils, for books, stationary, 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.
