Col Richard IM. Johnson, now Vice President of
the United States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of la lependence, who
spent the greater pari of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, of ht» ‘‘ fortune, hie
and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties ol his
country. _ , .
“ Os the career of Gen. Harnson I need not speak
- the history ofrhe West, is his history. For forty
years lie has been identified with its interests its
nerds and its hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished hy 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, ollener in action than any one ot 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 wuh sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engager!,
as well a* 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 Slates of Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, under the command
of Brigadier General Hairison, 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 :
“ 'Hie success on Lake Erie having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com
maiding the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thirlher,and,tapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with then savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly vermmat d in the capture of
the British, and dispersion of the savage force.^
“ This result is signally honorable to Major Gen
eral Harrison, hy whose military talents it was pre
pared."
The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen
eral Harnson, in 1811, bj 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
dence of victory and fame.”

In the legislatureof Indiana, on ihe 12th Nov.
1811, the f peaker ot the House of Representatives,
m Gen. W m Johnston, thus addressed »eneral 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 Ihe
congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet, and the tribes ot 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
w e take into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, for a
moment, w ithhold our raced ol applause.”
Legislature o f Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre
-9 tatives of the Stated Kentucky, in the late cam
paign against tue 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, skilliil 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
rendered the most essential service, by communica
@ tine niy orders in every direction, and by his con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
victory.”

British and Indian forces under Major General Proc

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

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says:
“ I lee! no hesitation to declare to you that I be
lieve Gen. Harnson to be one of the first military
characters I ever kneic."
Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, Jaly
4, 1813, says:
“ We did not want to 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
IS, 1817,says:
“ The prompt change made by you in the order of
battle on discovering the position ot the enemy, lias

Honorable Laugdon 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 :
*• 1 desire no plaudits which are bestow ed upon

“ I have hit the wannest attachment for him a« a

could give me more pain than to see his enemies 1

on no occasion been w ithbelc.
The Richmond Enquirer said ;
“Gen Harrison’s letter tells us everything that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He does justice to every one but Harrison— and
the world must therefore dojustice to the man who
wa-s too modest to be just to himself.”
from Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the
Thames : , c
“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.
SPjT “ In all ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those
who are the least willing to part with their ngnts,
and submit themselves to the will ot a master.

tKr“THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
May they ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own '’ ot '"g aiK * l " eir
own fighting J W « H Harrison.
“General Harnson 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 liv 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 —lie possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. 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 , anil 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, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
ac lis lies ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record fe’v instances ol
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.”

its penis, and us hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks of peace, and distinguished hy his ability
in the cour.ciis 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 ami glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy
can assail him, is now' summoned ny 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 !!

f/X A REWARD.—Ranaway from the
. "U subscriber, on the 29th ult., a likely
negr® boy named Scott, 18 or 19 years old, 5 feet
j 10 inches high, rather light complexion, looks very
! pleasing when spoken to, very intelligent, and re
markably polite in his deportment, spare made and
; streight. He took with him, from me, about SIOO
in mouej', $25 of which was American gold, the
balance in bills of the Planters’ and Mechanics’
Bank of Columbus. Also, a fine gold watch and
chain with square links. lam inclined to believe
he has been seduced away by some white man, as
he has hitherto been trust worthy and honest as far
as I have known.
He was raised in Charlotte, N. C., and may
possibly endeavor to got back, but will more pro
bably endeavor to get to a free State, either by
way of Apalachicola or through the up countiy, as
he has been heard to express a desire to get to
Ohio or Philadelphia.
I will give the above reward of tour hundred
dollars, for the apprehension of the boy and thief,
and their delivery to me, with sufficient evidence
to convict them, or S2OO lor the boy and the watch,
or $l5O for the boy alone, or a proportionate reward
for his confinement in jail, and information so that
I get him. WM. D. LUCAS.

“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 teaciier of youth. Being

the duties of his office 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-

to the public, as a man of high moral and Christian
character, and perfectly well qualified to ta e
charge of any Academy or High School, where lus
services may be wanted. H 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 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
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 ot youth ot either sex in ary ot oui
literary institutions. N. W. !■ iske,
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 er
ratic genius and fanciful attainments. The former
requires the symmetrical devolopcment 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 .111 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’ reasonii g; —
the love of knowledge and 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
enjoyment of those who may thus be removed from
the danger of being injuriously involved in fash
ionable 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
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 ou the last day
of June.
It is every way desirable that pupils should enter
at the commencement of the Term ; they will,
however, he received at any r 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 3 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.
We recommend to patrons and others to post-pay
their letters, addressed to the inmates of the In
stitute, in older to anticipate errors of double post
age upon the part of Postmasters.
