James Madison, in a spcfial message to Congress

most exertions of valor ana discipline.
James Madison in his M ,^ag 3 lo Congress, No

“An ample free from t s States ot Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Vi|>inia, is placed, with
the addition of a few re ' . under the command
ol Brigadier General Me t, who possesses the
entire confidence of hi., f|i!ow soldiers, among
whom are citizens some of Item volunteers in the

In Mr. Madison’s message |l December 1813, ihe
compliment was extended, atitallows :
“ 1 he success on Lake Erii having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the eiimy, the officer com
manding the Northwestern |rms, transferred the
war thin her, and, i apidly purftiing the hostile troops
fleeing whh their savage asstluates,forced a general
actum, which quickly terrain t d in the capture of
the British, and dispersion ol the savage force.
“ This result is sitsnaLly ho arable to Major Gen

** i desire no plaudits which are beslo ed upon

“ 1 have f«.lt the warmest attachment fc; him as a

The Richmond Enquirer said :
“G en Hcrnsonfc letter tells tis every thing that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He does justice to every one but Harrison— and
the world must therefore dojustice to the man who
was too modest io be just to himself.

“W T e have suffered greatly for the want ot pro

—May they ever remember that to preserve their

“ General Harrison has done more for his coun
try, with less compensation for it, than any man
President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23,1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said:
it What mnn cs, whose whole heart and soul is
~ot British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
. victories of Ferry and Harrison, that does not fee
s pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes ol
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—be possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
ir 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 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
coed intrepidity cf Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
ail the events of the campaign support these char
act, sties ; the disasters ai tending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are peihaps 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 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 the deliverers of ihe
frontiers.”

illustriously distinguished in the field. During the

oilier General Officer; he was, perhaps, olmer in
action than any one ofthein, and never sustained a
defeat."
Such is the man, who, still enjoying his unlar
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 io leave the quiet walks of private hie
lo guide the councils ol ihe nation, “and deliver
the country from ihe dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !

a °The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
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 con tantly settling around them ; ana to
remove the hardened feces which collect '
convolusions of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costivcness with 11 its train ofevils. or in a sud
den diarrhoea, with its eminent Jangers. This fact
is well known to ail regular anatomists, who ex
amine the human bowels after death ; and henn?

quack medicines—cr medicines prepared and her
iaded.to the public bv ignorant p< rsons. 'i he se
cond effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the
kidneys and the 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, w hich takes its red color from
the agency ol the 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

which afflict the hit mar frame. In fever and

moataaKinently successful; so much so that in the

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 new s

The extraordinary population that Dr. Spohn's

gaming is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
Thai so m 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 mostcredulons. The
principles on which it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a milled fact that this complain!, whether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises p-nra
aniy from the stomach —those who think they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is ttie first cause, that th a sys

The truth of this position cannot be controverted,
and the sooner sufferers with ihe headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his
