0 - the history ofthe West, is his history. For forty
years he has been identified with its interests, us
perils and Us hopes. Universally b'luved in the
walks ot peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils of his country, he had been yet more
illustriously distingu’slied in the field
“ During’ the late war, he was lunger in active ser
vice tnan any o her General officer; he was, per
haps, oltener 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 7lh ultimo, Congress will see vviih sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
as well as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commando cm an occasion requiring the ut.
most exertions of valor and discipline d t
James Madison in his Message to Congress. No
vember, 1812, said,
“ An ample force from the States ol Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, vs it li
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.”
e3 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 Northwesterir arms, transferred ttie
war thiriher, and, tapidly 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 savage force.
“ 'Phis 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 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
& deuce of victory and fame.”

“ Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro

thousands of women and children rescued from the
scalping knife ot the ruthless savage of the wilder

In the Legislature of Indiana, on the 12th Nov.

their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the
congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
result ofthe late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw

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 ««<• meed of applause.”

“General Harrison has done more for hts coun
try with less compensation for it, than any man
living.” President Madison. ,
Ex Governor Isaac Hil I, November 23,1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriotsaid:
“ What man Id cs, whose whole heart and soul is j
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 ol
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 Duron candid itc for Gov. (
in Connecticut, in his lile 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 w ar.”
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 ration, and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidity cf Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events ot the campaign support these char
act istics ; the disasters attending 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 Artel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October. Hero 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.”

“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 with its interests,
its perils, and ns hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks of peace,and distinguished by his ability
in the councils of hts country, he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
late war, tie was Huger in actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, oftner 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 w here neither malice or envy
can assail him, is now r summoned by his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life i
to guide the councils of the nation, “ and deliver i
the country from the dangers which encompass it.” (

LAND FOR SALE.
rgNHE subscriber has in view removing west
wardly, offers for sale the following tracts of
Land, viz: that valuable tract on which he resides,
containing 1350 acres, lying on the Savannah River
and Soap week, of which a part is first rate river
and creek low grounds. There are three hundred
and fifty acres cl it cleared, the balance in woods,
consisting of oak, hickory, poplar and warl.oo
I The cleared land is under a good fence. Its pro
duction cannot be surpassed by any lands in the
|up country. The improvements consist of a con-
I venieiit and comfortable Dwelling, besides Gin
I House, Screw, all new, and all other houses neces
sary for a country residence and farm. The dwell
j ing is located on an elevated situation, and re
markably healthy, with springs of the purest water
j scattered throughout the premises. '1 here is also
| on the premises, one of the best sites for a mill or
mills ol factory there is in the up country, and its
contiguity to the river will make it more valuable.
As the purchaser would wish to examine the pre
mises previous to making the purchase, it would
be needless for me to give any farther description
of the premises.
I also offer a tract of land containing 5 or 600
acres, in South Carolina, in Edgefield district, im
mediately on the Cambridge road, (one of the most
public roads in the State.) The place is known as
a part of the Martintown tract, and would make a
valuable stand for a store or public house.
Also, 250 acres of land, No. 150, in the 21st
district, Decatur county in this State.
Also, 250 acres of land. No. 3, in first district in

THE LUCINA CORDIAL—BEWARE
OF FRAUD.
r IIIIE unprecedented popularity of this benefi-
X cent md inestimable CORDIA Lin the (hilled
States, has induced one or more unprincipled per
sons to manufacture spurious catchpenny articles,
under canons 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 ilw r cu
pidity, those persons affect that their wrelcho j nos
■ trains have been in use in England and elsew here
for a number of years; whereas, until the illustrious
Dr. Magu n made his wonderful discovery, no cure
lor barrenness find been ever thought of, or at least
. made public ; and all th ise then in use for the
f restoration of the decayed virile powers were found
, to be of hut little avail. Thus, aii nostrums adver
tised for barrenness or the cure of impotency, but
Dr. Magnin’s, are mere catchpenny humbugs,
I which would never have been thought of out for
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 sufH
, cient caution for the purchaser to ask for the Lucina
Cordial, but as limber assurance, it would be as
well to note tout its narn , Lucina Cordial, or Elixir
of Love, is stamped in the glass of each buttle—the
combined arms of Franco and the United States
are on the outward envelope—that a Fleur do 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 evci known; and
that in the cure of Fluor Albus, (Beet, 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, hut unquestionable. For sale by
