Col. Richard M. Johnson, n:<w Vice President ol
ihe C-iibed States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of ihe
signers of ihe Declaration o ' In lependence, who
spent the greater part of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he I lien gave of his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure’ the liberties of Ins
country. . . ,
“ Os the career of Gen. Ham-on I need not speak
- the history oftlie West, is liis 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 his country, he had 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, oltener in action than any one of 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 lie action w hich look
place on the 7th ultimo, Congress will sec with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
as well as the collected firmnaj which distinguished
their commando on an occasion requiring theut.
most exertions of valor and duciphne.
James Madison in his Message to Congress. No
vember, 1812, said,
“ An ample force from the states 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 na*rita.”
In Mr. Madison’s message of December 1813, the
compliment was extended, as follows:
“ The success on Lake Eria 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 thct: savage as.sociates.furced a general
action, w hich quickly terminated in the capture of
the Hritish, 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, b} eleven of the officers who
fought under his banner at the batile of Tippeca
noe .
“Should our country again require our service to
oppose a civilized or a savage ihe, we should march
under General Harrison with the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

Gen. Anthony Wayne, in his Letter to the Secre

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says :
“ I (eel no hesitation to declare to you that I be
lieve Gen Harrison to be on[e of the first military

Col. Richard M Johnson 1-o Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813, says: \
“ We did not want to serve under cowards or trai

self to be wise, ptudeut and brave.”
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August

the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
yonr conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon Che.ea, on the battle of the
Thames.
“ The victory of Harrison, was such as would have
secured to a Roman General in the best days of the
Republic, the honors of a triumph .' He put an end
to the War in the Vppermost Canada.”
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan:
* desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
I ha\e ftlt the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and t oululence in hiu ug an able cornmaii*
der remains unshaken I feel every assurance that
he will at all times do me justice; and nothing
could give me more pain than io see his eiienm*
seize upon this occasion to deal out iheir unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as lie
continues (as in ray humble opinion he his hither
to done) tom ake the wisest arrangements and ihe
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
his command will justify, 1 shall not hesitate to
unite with tna army in nestowing upon mm tr.at
confidence which he so richly merits, and w hich has
on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said ;
“Gen Harrison’s letter tells us everything that
we w ish io know about ihe .dficers, erce.pt himself.
He docs justice to every one but Hamsun—and
die world must therefore dojustiee to ihe man who
was too modest to be just lu himself.”
From Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the
Thames :
“W T e have suffered greatly for the want of pro
visions, and the whole army has subsister, for the
last three days, on raw dekf without salt.”
sjr “ In all ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators ol the soil are those
who are the least willing to part with iheir rights,
and submit themselves to the will ot a master.
Wm. H Harrison.
SCt“THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
>Jay lhev ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do iheir own voting and their

“General Harrison has done more for lua coim
fry, with less compensation for it, than any man
Jiving.” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23,1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man li\ cs, 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 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 lite of Perry published in
1821, afier 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 war.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said :
“It must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, and upon the
troops hy 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,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actisiics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances ot
such cool and steady intrept dity, on liie 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 w ith every demonstration of joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers. ’’
An Eloquent Record.
William Henry Harrison was born 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 the legion under Gen.
Wayne,and in a lew days thereafter, was selected
by him as one of his Aids.
On ihe 241 h of August, 1794, he distinguished
himself in the battle of the Miami, and elicited the
most 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
officio Lt. Governor.
in 1793, lie 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, Commander-in-chief of the North
western army.
On the Ist May, 1813, the seige of Fort Meigs
commenced—lasted five days, and was terminated
by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gen. Har
rison.
On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste
phenson occurred.
On ihe sth October, 1813, he gained the splendid
victory of ihe THAMES, over the British and In
dians under Proctor.
In 1814, lie was appointed hy Madison one of
the Commissioners lo rear with the Indians, and
in the same year, with his colleaguo-i Gov. Shelby
and Gen. Cass, concluded the celeDraled treaty of
Greenville.
in 1815, ho was again appointed such Commis
sioner, with Gen. Me Arthur and Mr. Graham, and
negotiated a treaty at Detroit.
In 1816, he was elected a member of Congress.
In January, 1818, he introduced a resolution in
honor of Kosciusko, and supported it in one of the
most feeling, classical and eloquent speeches ever
delivered in the House of Representaiivea.
In 1819, he was elected a member of the Ohio
Senate
In 1824, he was elected Senator in Congress,
and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of the Mili
tary Committee,in place of Gen. 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
of that body ;
“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 its hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks of peace,and distinguished by his ability
in the councils of Ins country, he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished in ihe field. During the
late war, he 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 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 !

containing 1350 acres, lying on the Savannah River
and Soap creek, of which a part is first rate river
and creek low grounds. There are three hundred
and fifty acies o! it cleared, the balance in woods,
consisting of oak, hickory, poplar and warl.oo
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
venient and comfortable Dwelling, besides Gin
House, Screw, all new, and all other houses neces
sary for a country residence and farm. The dwell
ing is located on an elevated situation, and re
markably healthy, with springs of the purest water
scattered throughout the premises. There i< also
on the premises, one of the best sites for a mill or
mills or 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 Stale.
Also, 250 acres of land, No. 3, in first district in

THE LUCIYA CORDIAL—BEWARE
OF FRAUD.
*JIHE unpreceJented popularity of this benefi-
JL cent and inestimable CORDIA Lin the United
Slates, has induced one or more unprincipled per
sons to manufacture spurious catchpenny articles ,
under various names, and purporting to produce the
same effect; but w Inch, in reality, produce no other
effect than that of swindling the public; and to
give a yet more plausible appearance of r cu
pidity, f nose persons affect that their wrelcht i nos
trums have been in use in England and elsew here
lor a number of years; whereas, until the illustrious
Dr. Magnin made his wonderful discovery, no cure
for barret.ness 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 lillle avail. Thus, all nostrums adver
tised for barrenness or the cure of impotency, but
Dr. Mognin’s, are mere catchpenny humbugs,
which would never have been thought of nut 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 he a suffi
cient caution forth« purchaser to ask lor the Lucina
Cordial, but as further assurance, it would he as
well to notetnat its nam , Lucina Cordial, or Elixir
of Love, is stamped in the glass of each bottle—ihe
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 tbc show-bills hanging in
the stores of those who have the genuine article
fur 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 tbe resto
ration of decayed virile powers ever known ; and
that in tbe cure of Fluor Albus, Gleet, 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, but unquestionable. For sale hy
