the United States, Congress'—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the
cm tiers of the Declaration of Jr dependence, 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 ol Ins
C °“ Ofthe career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
_ the history ofthe West, is his history. For forty
vears he ha* been identified with its interests, us
penis and Us hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils of his country, he hail been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field.
*» During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than any o'her General officer; he was, per
haps, oilener in action than any one ol them, and
never sustained a defeat.
James Madison, in a special message to C ongress
December )8, 1811, s ad,
w While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost in ihe action which took
place on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see with sal
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude vu tor.ous
lv displayed by every description of troops engaged,
as well as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commands on an occasion requiring the ul
most exertions of valor and discipline."
James Madison in his Message to Congress, No
vember, 181*2, said,
* fc An ample force from the States ot Kintuckj *
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 Ins 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 tfurther, and, rapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with thei: savage associates,forced & general
action, which quickly terminated 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 urns pre
pared."
The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, by 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 wiih the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

there were two military* men in tiie West, and Gem
Harrison is the first of the two ”
Message of Simon Snyder, Governor cf Penn
sylvania, December 10, 1813
“ Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
thousands of women and . hildreu rescued from the
scalping knife ot the ruthless savage ul the wilder
ness, and from the still more savage Proctor, rest on
Harrison and his gallant array.”
In the Legislature of Indiana, on the l2lhNov.
1811, the 8 peakor of the House of Representatives,
Gen. VV in Johnston, thus addressed general Harri
son.
“ Ssir—The House es Representatives of the In
diana territory, in their own name, and in behalf of
iheir constituents, most cordially reciprocate ihe
congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
result ofthe late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet, and the tribes ol Indians confederated
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 v iew the benefits which rnusi result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, foi a
moment, w ithhold oik meed of applause.”

“ Resolved, By the-Senate and House of Repre

paign against the 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, skilful and gallant conduct in the battle of
Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest thanks
of his country and his nation
Gen. Anthony Way tie, in his Letter to the Secre
tary of War, giving an official account of Ins san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said ;
“My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered the most essential service, by cotnraunica
ting my orders in every direction, and by his con

victory.”

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 16, 1814,
says :
“ 1 led no hesitation to declare to you that I be •
heve Gen Harrison to bt one of the first military
characters I ever knew."
Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813,says ;
“ We did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; bat under one [Harrison] who had proved him
%Stf to be wise, prudent anil brave "
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817,says:
“ The prompt changeraacc by you iiithe order of
battle on discovering the position of the cm ray, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE UK MILITARY TALENT. 1 COOC ir Wil l
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.’
Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle of the
Ph i nit s.
“ The victory of Harrison, was such as would have
secured to a Roman Gtneral in the best days ofthe
Republic, the honors oj a triumph I He put an end
to the War in (he Uppermost Canada."
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, CoL
Croghan;
*• i desire no plaudits which arc bestowed upon
me at the expense ol General Harrison.
*• 1 have ft It the w armest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. 1 feci every assurance that
he will at all limes do me justice; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continue* (as in my humble opinion he h s hither
to done) tom ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
his command will justify, 1 shall not hesitate to
unite with tue array m bestowing upon mm iuat
con\fence which he so richly m.. Us, and which '.has
on no occasion been w ithhold.
The Richmond Enquirer said:
“G CM Harrison’s letter tells as every thing thal
we w ish to know about the officers, except himself
He docs justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore dojustice to 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 sub sister, tbrthf
last three days, on raw reek without salt.’
SO” “ In all ages, and in all countries, it has beer
observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those
who arc the least willing to part with their rights
ami submit themselves to the will ol a master.
W.m. H Harrison.

May they ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and then
own fighting VVm II Harrison.
“ General Hamson has done more for his coun
try, with less compensation tor it, than any man
living” President Madison.
Ex'Governor Isaac Hill, November 23,1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man lives, whose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not (cel
a pride in the valor and patriotism ot site 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—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, said :
“Tlie 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, lie 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 cl Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actistics ; 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 intrepidity, on me part ol
militia, or a three of this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in i lie Ariel, and
arrived at Erie <m the 22d of October. Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
Arc. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”

| its perils, and ns hopes. Universally beloved ir
j the walks of peace,and distinguished by his ability
jin the councils of his country,he has been yet mart
j illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
| late war, tie was Huger in actual service than any
j other General Officer; he was, perhaps, oltner ir
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
Bucii is the man, who, still enjoying his untar
nished lame and glory*, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence where neither malice er envy
can assail him, is now summoned by his gratefui
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide tiie councils of the nation, “and delivei
the country from the dangers which encompass it.’
He will be her deliverer !

unprecedented popularity of this hanefi
.l. cent and inestimable CORDIA Lin the Dnited
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 lo
give a yet more plausible appearance of the r cu
pidity, those persons affect that their wretche inos
trums have been in use in England and elsewhere
(or a number of years; whereas, until the illustrious
Dr. Magnin made his wonderful discovery, no cure
lor 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 impoteney, but
Dr. Magnin’s, are mere catchpenny humbugs,
which would never have been thought of out tor
the appearance and great celebrity of the LLK 'IN A

The celebrity of the Lucina Cordial being such
as it is, it is scarcely necessary to add that it is the

PETERS’ VEGETABLE FILLS.
Pills are no longer among those of

from the hundreds that are daily launched upon
the tide of experiment, and now stand before the

medicine that has ever been prepared for the relief
of suffering it, an. 'J hey have been int educed

remaikahlo evidences of their good effects. The
certificates that have been presented to the proprie

dred of whicharefrom regular practising physicians,
who are the most competent judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this medicine
been the subject ol editorial comment in rations
newspapers and journals ; and it may with truth
be asserted, that no mo Itcine of the kind lias ever
received testimonials of greater value than are at

They are in general use as a family medicine,

they are never satisfied unless they have a supply'
always on hand.

of I lie public mind would seem to forbid any person
of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis
coveries in medicine, to the trial of tha public.—
Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us front
making known real discoveries, which we are can

consideration has prompted Hie authorof these bil

friends, have given them a thorough trial, fie" B *
himself a confirmed dyspeptic, so much, that even
his recollection was gone. By using these hitlers
he has been restored to health. Mr.-. Cosby was
troubled for many years,but was restored to health
by the use ol these bitters. This has been thecas®
with many of his frit nds. Mr. Coshy in sending
