(’,.1 Kichard M. Johnson, now V ice President of
the I’iiiied -States, said, (HI Congress)-
Who is Gen. Harrison ? ino son ol one <i ilio
signers of the Declaration of Independence, who
sm-nt the greater part of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he l hen gave, of his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties ol his
country. , , ,
“ Os the career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
the history oft he West, is ids history lor forty
years he has been identified with its interests, its
perils and its hoj.es. Universally beloved m the
walks ot peace, and distinguished by Ins ability in
the councils ol his country, he had been yet more
iilusirioiisly disiingirshed in the field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice t nan any o 1 her General officer; he was, per
haps, ollener in actOn than any one ol 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 losi in ihc action which look
place on the 7lh ultimo, Congress will sec vviih sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit ol fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every descripi ion of troops engaged,
as well as the collet ted firmness which distinguished
their cornmandei on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and disciplined'
Janies Madison in his .Message to Congress, No
veraber, 1812, said,
“ An ample force from the States 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
enlire 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 thin her, and, rapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with thei: savage associates,forced a general
action, winch quickly terminal'd 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 it was pre
pared. ”
The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, bj eleven of the officers who
fought under his banner at the battle ot Tippeca
noe .
“Should our country again require our service to
oppose a civilizer! or a savage foe, we should march
under General Harrison with the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

Message of Simon Snyder, Governor cf Penn
sylvania, December 10, 1813
“ Already is the brow of ihe 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 w ilder
ness, and from the still more savage Proctor, rest on
Harrison and his gallant array.”
In the Legislature of Indiana, on the 12th Nov.
1811, the Speaker ol the House of Representatives,
Gen. Wm Johnston, thuj addressed deueral Harri
son.

Gen. Anthony Wa\ne, in his Letter to the Secre

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May IS, 1814,

“ I led no hesitation to declare to you that I be

Col. Kichard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, Jaly

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

self to be wise, prudent and brave."
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August

“General Harrison has done more tor his coun
trv with less compensation for it, than any man
ji'jj,., ” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man li- es, w hose whole heart and soul 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 treed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahaw k and scalping knife ! if there be such an
one, lie is a traitor lo the country —be possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in Ids file of Perry published in
1821, alter giving a general biography of Gen- Har
rison, said ;
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British array, may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events of the
late war.”
In alluding tothe battle of 1 lie Thames, he said :
“It must bs 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 w hich 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
aciisiics ; I fie disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable lo him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances of
such cool and steady intrepedity, on the part ol
militia, or a three of this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left. Detroit in the Ariel, and
arrived al Erie on the 22d of October. Here they
were received with every demonstration ol joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
<fec. They were hailed as the deliverers ot ihe
frontiers.”

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 count ry, he lias been yet more
illustriously distinguished in ilie field. During the
late war, lie was longer in actual service than any
other General Officer; ho 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
lo guide the councils of ihe nation, “and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !

effectual remedy ever discovered, having cured
many obstinate cases after every other medicine

THE EUCINA CORDIAL—BEWARE
OF FRAUD.
rjMIE unprecedented popularity of this benofi-
B cent artdinestimable CORDIA Lin the United
States, has induced one or more unprincipled per
sons to manufacture spurious catchpenny articles ,
under various names, and purporting to produce the
same effect; but which, in reality, produce no other
effect than that of swindling the public; and to
give a .yet more plausible appearance of tire r cu
pidity, those persons affect that their wretche ; nos
trums have been in use in England and elsewhere
tor a number of years; whereas, until the illustrious
Dr. Magnin made his wonderful discovery, no cure
for barret.ness had been ever thought of, or at least
made public; and all those then in use for the
restoration of the decayed virile powers were found
to be of but little avail. Thus, all nostrums adver
tised for barrenness or the cure of impotence, but
Dr. Magnin’s, are mere catchpenny humbugs,
which would never have been thought, of nnt for
the appearance and great celebrity of the LUCINA
COIIDIAL As no counterfeit of the name is at
present in circulation, it may in general be a suffi
cient caution for the purchaser to ask lor the Luciua
Cordial, hut as further assurance, it would be as
w ell to note t lat its nam , Lucina Cordial, or Elixir
of Love, is stamped in the glass of each bottle—the
combined arms ol France and the I inited States
are on the outward envelope—that a Fleur de Lis
is printed on the accompanying directions, and
beautifully embossed on the show-bills hanging m
the stores of those who have the genuine article
for sale.
The celebrity of the Lucina Cordial being such
as it is, it is scarcely necessary to add that it is the
only efficient remedy for barrenness, and the resto
ration of decayed virile powers ever known ; and
that in the cure of Fluor Alims, Gleet, obstructed,
difficult or painful Menstruation, the incontinence
of the urine, or the involuntary discharge thereof,
its superiority over every other medicine is not on
ly decided, but unquestionable. For sale by

[A Late and Valuable Discovery.
PERHAPS there is nothing mo" - ’ c n -lci!aied i't
disgust the public eye than lire innumerable
advertisements ot nostrums lhat arc constantly ap
pearing in the public prints. All are ready to ex
claim, our souls are sick, our ears are pained with
every day’s reports of ills and specifics. T!-.is stale
of the public mind would seem to forbid any person
of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis
coveries in medicine, lo the trial of th? public.—
Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from
making know n real discoveries, w hich we are can
fident will benefit our fellow men. Tins laiier
consideraiion has prompted the author of these bit
ters to make them known. He knows they are high
ly efficacious, for he himself, his wife, and many
friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was
himself a confirmed dyspeptic, so much, that even
his recollection was gone. By using these bitters
he has been restored to health. Mrs. Cosby was
troubled tor many years,but was restored l<» Dealtn
by i lie use of t hese bitters. This has been the cm®
with many of Ins frh nds. Mr. Cosby in sending
forth this advertisement, addresses those who know
him. Ho has been for many years a resident of
Augusta at w hich place he can at any ihne b«
consulted about Ihe bitters. They are good in all
eases of diseases of the digestive organs, the symp
toms of which are indigestion, pain or oppression
in the stomach from food, lossol appetite, llatuien
cy, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in tb®
side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak
ness, dislu.bed sleep, &c The composition is en
tirely Botanical, ami has proved efficacious when
many celebrated medicines had failed. lnsiipi >i)rt
