Janies Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, 1811, said,
u While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost, in the aciion which took
Diace on the 7m ultimo, Congress will see with sat
ufaction 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, ao
veraber, 1812, said, , r/ ,
“ An ample force from the States ot Kentucky,
© Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, under the command
of Brigadier General ilarrison, who possesses tho
entire confidence of his fellow soldiers, among
whom are citizens some of them volunteers in the
Tanks, not less distinguished by their political sta
tions liian by their personal merits.”
In Mr. Madison’s message of December 1313, 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 thirther, and, iapidly pursuing the hostile troops
® fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
actum, which 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 bat; le of Tippeca
noe .
“Should our country again require our service to
Oppose a civilized or a savage foe, wc should march
under General Harrison with the must perfect confi
deuce of victory and fame.”

“ Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro
ghan,encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
thousands of women and children rescued from Ihe
©scalping knileot the ruthless savage ot the wilder

aconfratulalions ot your Excellency on the glorious
result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw

with him; when we see displayed in behalf of
onr country, not only the consummate abilities of
the general, but the heroism of tho man ; and when
we take into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, fox a
moment, withhold oik meet! of applause.”

“ Resolved, By the Senate and House of Kepre

William Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a
patriot and a general; and that lor his cool, delib

Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest thanks
of his country and his nation.
Gen. Anthony Wayne, inhis Letter to the Secre

guinary Indian Battle, in 1792,said :
“My faithful and gallant lieutenant Harrison
rendered ihe most essential service, by communiea

President Madison.
'llx Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said:
« What man In cs, whose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the Sale
victories of Perry and Harrison, that .loos not fee!
a nride 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
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 Goy.
in Connecticut, in his life of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography ol 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 end extraordinary events ol tbe
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said :
“It must be conceded that tins victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms , and upon the
troops by whom it was achieved.
“ The aciion. and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement ami
cool intrepidity cf Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actislics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances ol
such cool and steady intrepedity, 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 tLie 22d of October. Here they
were received with every demonstration ol joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers ol the
frontiers.”
An Eloquent Record.
William Henry Harrison w as bom 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 tho legion under Gen.
Wayne,and in a lew days thereafter, was selected
by him as one of his Aids.
On the 24th of August, 1794, he distinguished
himself in the battle of the Miami, and elicited the
must, flattering written 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
ojjicio Lt. Governor.
~ In 1793, 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 the 7th November, 1811, he gained the great
victory of TIPPECANOE
On the 11th September, 1812, he was appointed
by Madison, Coramander-iu-Chief of the North
western array.
On the Ist May, 1813, the seige of Fort Meigs
commenced—lasted five days, and was terminated
by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gch. Har
rison.
On tho 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Sts
phenson occurred.
On the sth October, 1813, he gamed the splendid
victory ot the THAMES, over tho British and In
dians under Proctor.
In 1814, he was appointed by Madison one of
the Commissioners to real with the Indians, and
in the same year, with his colleague-. Gov. Shelby
and Gen. Cass, concluded tho celebrated treaty of
Greenville.
In 1815, be was again appointed such Commis

negotiated a treaty at Detroit.
In 181 G, he w r as elected a member of Congress,
in January, 1818, he introduced a resolution in
honor of Kosciusko, and supported it in one of tho
most feeling, classical and eloquent speeches ever
delivered in the House of Representatives.
la 1819, he was elected a member of the Ohio
Senate,
In 1824, he was elected Senator in Congress,
and was appointed, in 18.25, Chairman of the .Mili
tary Committee, in place of Geu. 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 whilst a member
ol that body -.
“Cf 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
i late war, tie was Unger in actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, oftner m
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
Buch 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 !

THE LUCINA CORDIAL—BEWARE
OF FRAUD.
r |~IIE unprecedented popularity of this benefi
-3 cent and inestimable CORDIA L m 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 winch, in reality, produce no other
effect than that of swindling the public; and to
give a yet more plausible appearance of the r cu
pidity, those persons affect ihut their wreicht i nos
trums have been in use in England and elsewhere
lor a number of years; whereas, until the illustrious
Dr. Magmn made bis wonderful discovery, no cure
for barrenness bad 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 impofency-, but
Dr. Magma's, are mere catchpenny humbugs,
which would never have been thought of out lor
the appearance and great celebrity of I he LUCINA
CORDIAL As no counterfeit of the name is at
present in circulation, it may in general be a suffi
cient caution for tha purchaser to ask lor the Lucina
Cordial, but as further assurance, it would be as
well to note that its nam , Lucina Cordial, or Elixir
of Love, is stamped in ihe glass of each bottle—the
combined arms of France and the United 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 in
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
ol the urine, or the involuntary discharge thereof,
Us superiority over every other medicine is not on
ly decided, but unquestionable. For sale by
