T he Homage oi Justice.
We have compiled, from various sources, the fob
owing disinterested testimonials, which were com
manded from their several authors by the lofty pa
triotism, vaior, talents and success of General Har
rison, long before he was named f# ihe Presidency
and in times which aught to give them weight suf
ficient to bear down all the petty calumnies and
quibbling objections which party malignity may now
presume 10 forge against the war-worn and time
honored potriot and soldier.
The authorities we present against the attacks of
locofo-»o federalism, and which we have stereotyp
ed as r n impregnable barricade against all opposi
tion, are no less than the Congress of the_ United
States, the Legislatures of Indiana, ?md of Kentucky
James Madison, Jus. Monroe, Cot. Richard M. John
son, Anthony Wayne, Langdon Cheves, Simon Sny

Davis, and others, including in the illustrious cata
logii£ 6V6D Thojjiftf Ritf'hiCy Isaac Jttfin As,

Col. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
the United States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of In lependence, 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 ot bis
country.
“ Os the career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
- the history ofthe West, is his history. For forty
vears he has been identified with its interests, its
perils and ns hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability in
ihe councils ot his country, he had been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice t nan any o' her General officer; he was, per
haps, oftener in action than any one oi 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 the action which look
place on the 7tb ultimo. Congress will seo with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
as well as the collet ted firmness which distinguished
their cornmandei 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 States oi 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 merits.”
In Mr. .Madison’s message of December 1813, 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 the
war thirl her, and, tapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with thei: savage associaies.torced a general
action, which quickly iermmatrd in the capture of
die British, and disj>ersiiin 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 ol 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 with the most perfect confi
dence of victory and lame.”

Thousands of women and . hildren rescued from the

Tippecanoe, he will deserve lii© warmest thanks
of hi# country and his nation-
Gen. Anthony Wayne, in his Letter to the Secre
tary of War, giving an official account of hi# san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said :
“My failhlul and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered ihe most essential service, by communion

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says:
“ I (eel no hesitation to declare to yon that I be
heve Gen Harrison to be one of the first military
characters I ever knew "
Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813, says:
“ V 4 e did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [Harrison] who had proved him
self to be wise, prudent and brave"
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
IS, 1817,says:
“ The prompt change made by you in the order of
battle on d.scovenng the position ut the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. I Cone ir Wtt'l
venethe rable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle of the
Thames.
“ The victory of Harrison , was such as would have
secured to a Human Gmeral in the best days of the
Republic, the honors of u triumph ! He put an end
to the Wor in the Uppermost Canada"
Sentiments ot '.he Hero of Furl Stephenson, Col.
Croghan;
*■ i desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
“ 1 have Kit the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. I feel every assurance that
he will at all limes do me justice; and nothing
con'd give me more pain m to see his enemies
seize upon <lns occasion to deal out their unfriendly
lee lings and acrimonious disiine ; and so long as lie
continues (as in my humble opinion lie h s Imher
to done I»m ake the wisest arrangements and the
mosi judicious disposition, whicn the tbrees under
his command will justify, i shall not nesitate to
unite with the army in bestowing upon mm tout
vonjdeme which he so richly merits, and which Imu>
on no occasion been withheld.”
The Richmond Enquirer said:
“G en Harrison’s letter tell# us 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 dojusiiceto ihe man who
was 100 modest to be just to himself.
From Gen. Harrison’# report of the battle of the
Thames :
“We have suffered greatly for the want of pro
visions, and the whole army has subsisted, for the
last :hrec days, on raw beef without salt.’
In all ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those
who are the least willing to part with their rights,
and submit themselves to the will ol a master.
Wm. H Harrison.
- “THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
—May they ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting H Harrison.
“General Harrison has done more for his coun
try with less compensation for it, than any man
It v /,,.r.” President Madison.
Ee Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man lb 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 oif Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahawk and scalping k nife ! If there be such an
one, - ie is a traitor to the country —he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
Jo in M, Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his lite of Perry published in
1821. after giving a general biography oi 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 as 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 teas achieved.
“ The action, and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the Judgement and
cool intrepidity cf Gen. Ha r rison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
aclislics ; the disasters aitending it having, in ne in
stance, been imputable to him.
“There are perhaps 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
adraiiation; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers. ”

MOFFAT S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDIC IN ES
fJTHESE medicines are indebted tor their name
A to tht ir manifest and sensible action in puri
fying the spring and channels ot life,and enduing
them with renewed tone and vigor. In manv hun
dred certified cases widen has been made public,
and in almost ever} species of disease to which
the human frame is liable, the happy effects of
MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PHENIX BIT
TEKS have been gratefully and publicly ac
fnowledged by the persons benefiitted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beautifully
philosophical principles upon which they are
compounded, and upon which they eonsequenily
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases ot every form and description- Their
first operation is to loosen from the coats of the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities constantly settling around them ; and to
remove the hardened fajees which collect
convobisions of the smallest intesiines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costiveness with fit its train ofevils. or m a sud
den d.arrhoea, 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 medicines—or medicines prepared and her
laded to the public bv ignorant p< rsons. 'J 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 blocd, which takes its red color from
the agency of the liver and the lungs before it
pas-es into the hea 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 of
the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Head -
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor
and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera,
Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies
of all kind, Gravel, VV orras, Asthma and Consump
tion, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic
Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable
Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysij«elas, Common
Colds and influenza and various other complaints
which afflict the humar- frame. In fever and
ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been
most eminently successful; so much so that in the
Fever and .Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versally prescribe them.
All ihat Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is
tobe particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly
according io the directions. It is not by a news
paper notice, or any thing that he himself may say
in their lavor, that he hopes to gain credit. It :a
alone by the resuh of a fair trial.
MOFFAT’si MEDICAL MANUAL; designed
as a domestic guide to health.—This little pamphlet
edited by VV, B Moffat 375 Broadway New York,

more fully Mr. Moffat’s theory of diseases, and will

OH. E. BFOIIN, a German paysiciar, ot much
note, naving devoteu ms attention tor some
years totnecure and removal of the causes of NER
VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis
faction to make known, tha; he has a remedy which
by removing the causes cures effectually and perma
nently this distressing complaint. There are many
famines w ho have considered isick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. is. as
sures them that ihey are mistaken, ai d labouring
under distress which tncy might nut only alleviate
but actually eradicated by the use >f his remedy.
It is the result of scientific research,and iscnurely
of a different ebaiacler from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing coropaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
That so in ich suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual preventiv j, or
cure,is truly a subject of much regret hut Dr. S.
now assures the public thatsu< ha remedy has been
invented as will convince the mostcrodulous. The
principles on which it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a milted fact that tiiis complaint, whether 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 Qsys
lem has become vuiated or debilnaied, thiough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration of jlie natural and
healihy functions of the system. This object, Dr
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain.
The truth of this position cannot be controverted,
and the sooner sufferers with the headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his
prefessionai reputation on this fact. The remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United States.
