*■ General Harnson has done more for his coun

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
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 life of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen- Har
rison, said :
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, ami 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 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,
all the events of ihe campaign support these char
actistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable lo him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances ol
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 lha deliverers of the
frontier.;.”

its perils, and us hopes. Universally beloved in

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

tire country fi am the dangers wirich encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !

' MOFFAT'S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
I fiMIESE medicines are indebted for their name
f M- to lhi ir manifest and sensible action in puri
i fying the spring and channels ol life, and enduing
them with renewed tone and vigor. In many hun
i dred certified cases which has been made public,

the human frame is liable, the happy effects of
• MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PHENIX BIT
TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac
knowledged by the persons beiefiitted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beautifully
philosophical principles upon which they are
’ compoun Jed, and upon which they eonscquently
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themsencs
in diseases of every form and description. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coats of the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities eon tanlly settling around them ; and to
remove the hardened fseces which collect t
convolustorts of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costiveness with > 11 its train of evils, or in a sud
den diarrhoea, with its eminent dangers. This fact
is well known to all regular anatomists, who ex
amine the human bowels after death ; and hence
the prejudice of those well informed men against
quack met lie tries —or medicines prepared and her
laded to the public bv ignorant pi rsons. 'i he se
cond effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse tho
kidneys and tho bladder, and by this means, the
liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which
entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary
organs. The blood, which takes its red color from
the agency of ihe liver and the lungs before it
passes into the heai t, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food coming from a clean stom
ach, courses freely thiough the veins, renews every
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the
banner of health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation ol
the Heart, Loss ol Appetite, Heart-bura and Head
ache, Restlessness, ill-temper, Anxiety, Languor
anti Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera,
Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies
of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consump
tion, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic
Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable
Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common
Colds and influenza and various other complaints
which afflict the humar frame. In fever and
ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been
must eminently successful; so much so that in tho
Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versally prescribe them.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is
to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly
according to the directions. It is not by a news
paper nonce, or any thing that he himself may say
m their tavor, that he hopes lo gain credit, it is
alone by the result ol a lair trial,
MOFFAT’S MEDICAL MANUAL; designed
as a domestic guide lo health.—This little pamphlet

years totnecure ana removal of me esuses ol N Ek-
VUIJS AND SICK HEAD aCHE, has tbesatis
foclion to make known, that he has a remedy which
by removing the causes cures effectually and perma
nently this distressing complaint. There are many
families w ho have considered Sick Headache a con
st ituitonal incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as
sures them that ihey are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which tnoy might not only alleviate
but actually eradicated by the use if his remedy.
It is the result of scientific research, and is entirely
of a different chaiacter from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant lo the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing oompaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
That so tu ich suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual preventive, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S.
now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous. The
principles on which it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a muted fact that this complaint, w hether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach—those who think they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th’sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration of jhe natural and
healthy functions ol the system. This object, Dr
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated lo attain.
The truth of this position cannot be controverted,
and the sooner sufferers with tlie headache become,
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his
prr fessionai reputation on this fact. The remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United States.

We have now on hand a large stock of the raw
material, of the best quality, and are ready to re
ceive orders for any description of CASTINGS,
either for Rail Roads, Mills, Steam Engines, 01
other purposes. As we have a first rate Pattern
Maker, and use nothing but the best materials,
consequently we can warrant our Castings not only
to work well, but be as strong and as well made as
any manufactured at the North or elsewhere, and
we challenge comparison.
We also manufacture to order any kind of
AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. We are
now getting up, and will soon have made on
