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 l>een lost io the action which took
place on the 7li. ultimo, Congress will sec with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,

their commander on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline
James Madison in his .Message to Congress, No
vember, 1812, said,
“ An ample force from the Slates ol Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, under the command
of Brigadier General Harrison, who possesses the
tenure confidence of his fellow soldiers, among
whom are citizens some of them volunteers in tho
ranks, not less distinguished by their political sta
tions than by their personal merits.”
in Mr. Madison’s message of December ISI3, the
compliment was extended, as follows :
“ 1 he success on Lake Erie having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com
manding the Northwestern arms, transferred tho
war thirl tier, and, rapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with I her savage associates,forced a general
action, winch quickly terminat' d in the capture of
the British, nod 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 me officers who
fought under his banner at the bailie of Tippeca
noe .
“.Should our country again require our service to
oppose a civilized or a savage foe, we should march

“ Already is the brow of ihe young warrior, Cro

thousands of women and children rescued from the

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

Gen. Anthony Wav ne, in his Letter to the Secre

The Rich mold Enquirer said:
“G en Hsrnson’s letter tells ns every fh;ng that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself.
Ho does justice to every one but Harrison—and
the world must therelore dojustice to the man who
was too modest to be just to himself.”

Thames :
‘•We have suffered greatly for the want of pro

last three days, on raw bekf without sai.t.’

liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting M - H. Harrison.
“General Harrison has done more for his coun
try, with le?s compensation for 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 feel
a pride in the valor and patriotism of the 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 he 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 life 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 jl 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 ol the judgement and
cool intrepidity ct Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these cliar
actistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record fe v instances of
such cool and steady intrepedity, on the part of
militia, or a force of this description, us was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in t lie Ariel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October. Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy and
admiration; tho discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of ihe
frontiers.”
An Eloquent Itecord.

and, in 1829, wrote his immortal letter to Bolivar

Os turn Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke
in the House of Representatives whilst a member
ol that body : (
“ Ol the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not
speak—the history of Ihe west is his history For s
forty years he has been identified with its interests, c
its perils, and ns hopes. Universally beloved in t
the walks ot peace,and distinguished hy ids ability I
in the councils of his country,he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field. During the I
late war, lie was Unger in actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, (.finer in
action than any one ot them, and never sustained a
defeat l
Such is the man, who, still enjoying his untar
nished lame and glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy
can assad him, is now summoned ny his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life c
to guide tho councils ol the nation, “ and deliver r
the country from the dangers winch encompass it.” c

( same effect; but w inch, in reality, produce no other
’ effect than that of swindling the public; audio
give a yet more plausible appearance of lire r e;>
. pidity, those persons affect that their wrelche i nos
■ trums have been in use in England and elsewhere
lor a number of years; whereas, until the illustrious
Ur. 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
d restora.iou of the decayed virile powers were found
t, to he of hut little avail. Thus, all nostrums ndver
t tised for barrenness or tlie cure of impotency, but
r Hr. Magnin’s, are mere catchpenny humbugs,
d which would never have been thought of put for
