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 bis
country. _ , ,

- the history oftbe 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 his ability in
the councils of bis country, be had been yet more
illustriously disiingu'shed in the field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice tnan any o'her General officer; he was, per
haps, oftenerin action than any one ol them, and
never sustained a defeat.
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, IB 11, said,

able lives have been lost in the action which took
place on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see with sat-

)gg J&11 as the collected firmness who h distinguished
their cnmmandei on an occasion requiring the nt.
most exertions of valor and discipline "
James Madison in Ids Message to Congress, No
vember, 1812,said,
“ All 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 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 thirl her, and, i apidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminal d in the capture of
the British, and dispersion of the stivage 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, b) 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.”

“Already is the brow of the young w-arrior, 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 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.
1311, the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Gen. Wrn. 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 of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw

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 ol applause.”

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

Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest thanks
of his country and his nation.
Gen. Anthony Watne, 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

der remains unshaken. I feel every assururu-e that
lie will nt all times do me justice; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see his eiunues
seize upon ibis occasion to deal cut their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues (us in my humble opinion he has hither
to done) tom ake tiie wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
bis command will justify, I shall not hesitate to
unite with me array in bestowing upon nun that
confidence which he so richly merits, and which has
on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said :
“Gen Harrison’s letter tells us everything that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He docs justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore dojusliceto 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 bekf without sai.t.”
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 rights,
and submit themselves to the will of a master.

May they ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting M H. Harrison.
' “ General Harrison has done more lor bis 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 In es, whose whole heart and soul is
pot 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 hemes of
(he 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, *iaid :
“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 haltleof 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, indeed,
ail the events of the campaign support these char
aciistics ; the disasters ai tending it having, in no 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, 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, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”

j of that body ;
“Os the career of Gen. Harrtson, I need not
speak—the history of the west is his history For
forty years he has been identified w ith its interests,
its perils, and us hopes. Universally beloved in
j the walks of peace,and distinguished by his ability
in the councils of Ins country,he has been yet more
1 illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
late war, tie was lunger in actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, eftner in
ao on 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
*■ > f i iofty eminence where neither malice or envy
r -I'l a<iwu! him, is now summoned by his grateful
cry non to l< ave the quiet walks of private life
g ' oooeils of the nation, “and deliver

HARRISON’S SPECIFIC OINTMENT.
FOR the cure of white swellings, scrofulous and
other tumors, ulcers, sore legs, old and fresh
wounds, sprains and bruises, swellings and inflam
mations, scald head, women’s sore breasts, rheu
matic pains, tetters, eruptions, chilblains, whitlows,
biles, corns, and external diseases generally. The
proprietor has received at. least a thousand cert fi
cales and other documents in favor of his SPECI
FIC OINTMENT—and they embrace almost all
the complaints in their worst stages—to which
ointment or sticking plaster can be applied Among
these certificates, there are a great number Irom the
most eminent physicians in the country, who use
the Ointment in their daily practice, in preference
to any, or ail others which have ever been invented.
The proprietor has also received « great many tes
timonials Irom farriers, military gentlemen, farmers,
and others, relative to the amazing efficacy of his
Ointment, in the bruises, cuts, and all the external
complaints and diseases of horses; and among them
are no less than a dozen certifying to the most per
fect cures which it has performed ou the sore
backs of some of those animats. Altogether the
proprietor feels no hesitation in staling—or in put
ting it to the proof against ail composition—that
HARRISON’S SPECIFIC OINTMENT is vastly
superior to every thing of the kind which has here
tofore been offered to the public; and the proprietor
not only vouches for its general good qualities, but
is willing to risk his reputation on a single trial ,
for he knows from the mos ample experience, that
it cannot be used witiiout immediate and palpable
benefit, in any one of the complaints for which it
is so highly recommended. Retail price 50 cents

acres, in South Carolina, in Edgefield district, im

LE CORDIAL DE LUCINE, OU L EL
IXIR DE L’AMOUR.
WE perceive by the papers that the famous
French physician, Dr. Magnin, has eslah
lished an agency for the sale of the above named
extraordinary medicine in this city ; and■ to «P«k
the truth, we are sorry for it, as we think that there
are too many people in this part of the world al
ready. We dare not enter into an explanation oi
the wonders effected by this medicine here, but
will nevertheless venture to add, that it is the royal
ist thing in the world for gentlemen and ladies who
are husbands and wives, and who wish to he fathers
and mothers. The agent should take this medicines
t.t the far west, w ; here people aie scarce, — N. York
Examiner.
“ The Lucine Cordial ” is a general invigorator
of the human frame in all the various cases of lan
guor, lassitude, and debilitation, and is at the same
time so simple, yet so efficacious, that vvhile it can
renovate the prostrated energies of a giant, an in
fant may use it, not only with impunity, but with
advantage. The Lucine Uordial is also an indu
bitable cure for the incontinence of the urine, or the
involuntary discharge thereof. It is likewise an
invaluable and unrivalled medicine in cases of
chronic eruptions of the skin, and in the dropsical
affections of the aged. This celebrated and inesti
mable Cordial is for sale by

rpHE genuine French Pills against all the quack
JL nostrums of the age—for the cure of a certain
disease. The FRENCH PILLS are applicable in
all cases for eithei sex, (warranted free trom mercu
ry) and do not affect the breath in the least, and are
perfectly pleasant and agreeable to the stomach,
and have never failed to make a speedy and per
manent cure, without the least regard to diet or
application to business. In long, protracted, or
chronic stages of the disease, obslinate Gleets, Fluor
Albus, Gravel, Female Comp'aints, or a weakness
of those organs, they are beyond a doubt the most
effectual remedy ever discovered, having cured
many obstinate cases after every other medicine
had failed. The French Pills have been so univer
sally successful, that the proprietor challenges
any one to produce a remedy of equal certainly
under a forfeiture of Three Hundred Dollars.

THE LUCINA CORDIAL—BEWARE
OF FRAUD.
IPHE unprecedented popularity of this benefi-
JL cent and inestimable CORDIA Lin the Hnited
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 the r cu
pidity, those persons affect that their wretche i nos
trums have been in use in England and elsewhere
lor a number of years; whereas, until the illustrious
Dr. Magnin made his wonderful discovery, no cure
for barrenness 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 impotency, but
Dr. Magnin’s, are mere catchpenny humbugs,
which would never have been thought of out lor
the appearance and great celebrity of the LUCINA
CORDIAL. 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 for the Lucina
Cordial, but as further assurance, it would be as
well to note that its name, Lucina Cordial, or Elixir
of Love, is stamped in the 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 Albus, Gleet, obstructed,
difficult or painful Menstruation, the incontnfffice
of the urine, or the involuntary discharge thereof,
Us superiority over every other medicine is not on
ly decided, but unquestionable. For sale by

PETERS’ VEGETABLE PILLS.
Pills aro no longer among those of
-1- doubtful utility. They have passed away
from the hundreds that are daily launched upon
the tide of experiment, and now' stand before the
public as high in reputation, and as extensively
employed in all parts of the United States, the Can
adas, Texas, Mexico, and the West Indies, as any
medicine that has ever been prepared for the relief
of suffering man. They have been intioduced
wherever it w r as found possible to carry them ; and
there are but few towns that do not contain some
remarkable evidences of their good effects. The
certificates that have been presented to the proprie
tor exceed twenty thousand ! upwards of live hun
dred of which are from regular practising physicians,
who are the most competent judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this medicine
been the subject of editorial comment in vaiious
newspapers and journals ; and it may with truth
be asserted, that no me iicine of the kind has ever
received testimonials of greater value than are at
tached to this.
They are in general use as a family medicine,
and there are thousands of families who declare
they are never satisfied unless they have a supply
always on hand.
They have no rival in curing and preventing
Bilious fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver
Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma,
Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen,

ual Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or
Sadow Complex, m, and in all cases of Torpor of
ihe Bowels, wheie a cathartic or an aperient is
needed. They are exceedingly mild in their opeta
tion, producing neither nausea, griping nor debility.
The efficacy ol these pills is so well known, and
their use so general, that further comment is con
sidered unnecessary.
