Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephtason,Col.

“ i desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon

** 1 have Uli ihe wameM attachment t r him as a

The Richmond Enquirer said;
“G en Harrison’s letier lelLs 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 there foie dojusticeto the man who
was too modest to be just lo himself.”

Thamrs ;
“Wt have suffered greatly ffir the want ol pro

who are the least willing lo part with their rights,
and submit themselves to the will oi a master.

May they ever remember ihat to preserve iheir

“ General Harrison has done more lor fns coun
try, with less 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
j ~o t British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the. late
' victories of Ferry and Harrison, that does not feel
| a pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes oi
the West, who have freed a country large as the
I 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 lile of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen Har
rison, sa d ;
“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 alb; ding to the battle of the Thames, he said ;
“ If must be conceded that this victory rtfleeted
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 cf Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
aciislics ; the disasters ai tending it having, in no in
stance, btien imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances of
such coo! and steady intreped.ty, on the part of
militia, ot a force of this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in ihe Ariel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October Here they
were received with every demonstration ot joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&.c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.’

lilustTionsly distinguished in ihe field. During the

other General Officer; he was, perhaps, (Miner in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
Biuch 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 oy his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks ol private hlc
toguidethe councils of the nation, “and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !

MOFFAT'S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
fIAHESE medicines arc indebted for their name
m- to thi ir mani'est and sensible action in puri
fying the spring and channels of life, and enduing
them with renewed tone and vigor. In manv hun
dred certified cases widen has been made public,
and in almost evert species of disease to which
the human frame is liable, the happy effects ot
MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PHRNIX BIT
TERS have been gratefully and publhdy ac
knowledged by the persons benefiitted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beautifully
philosophical principles upon which they are
compounded, and upon which they consequently
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases ol every form and description. Their
first, operation is to loosen from the coats ot the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities eon-tantly settling around them ; ana to
remove the hardened faices which collect
convolusions of the smallest intestines. Ollier
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costiveness with nil its train ofevils. or in a sud
den diarrhoea, with its eminent dangers. This tact
is well known to all regular anatomists, who ex
amine ihe human bowels after death ; and hence
the prejudice of those well informed men against
quack medicines —or medicines prepared and her-
Jaded to the public hv ignorant p< rsons. "l 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 o( the urinary
organs. The blood, which takes its red color Irum
the agency of the liver and the lungs before it
I passes into the heat, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food coming from a clean stom
ach, courses freely th.ough the veins, renews every
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the
banner of health in tlie blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy for * tyspepsin, F latulency, Falpitation of !
the Heart, Loss ot Appetite, Heart-burn and Head- j
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor '
and Melancholy, Cosliveness, Diarrhoea, Uholcra,
Fevers of all kinds. Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies ;
of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consurap |
lion, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate .Sores, Scorbutic!
Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive coni- ;
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable |
Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common
Colds and influenza and various other complaints [
which afllict the huttsar frame. In fever and |
ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been j
most eminently successful; so much so that in the
Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni* j
versa I ly prescribe them.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of in's patient is
to be particular in taking the Lite Medicines strictly
according to the directions, it is not by a news

VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis
faction to make known, that he has a remedy which
by removing the causes cures etiecluallv and perma
nently this distressing complaint. There are many
termites who have considered tick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint* Dr. 8. as
sures them that ihey are mistaken, and labouring

it is the result ol scientific research,and is entirely
of a different character from advertise*! patent medi

HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr Spohn’s
remedy lor ibis distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter ol much astonishment,
That so much suffering should have existed for ages j
w ithout any discovery ot an effectual preventive, or i
cure, is truly a subject of much regrei but Dr. S. j
now assures ttie public lhat such a remedy has been '
invented us will convince l lie must credulous. The 1
principles on which it acts are simple and plain. Jt is !
an a milled fact lisat this complaint, whether called j
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim- j
aniy from the stomach —those who think they have ,
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that (his
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough ihe
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration of ihe naiural and
healthy functions of the system. This object, Dr
tSpohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain.
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 ol health, Dr. bpohn pledges his
professional reputation on tins fact. Tne remedy
may be had ol apothecaries generally throughout i
tiie United States.

wherever it was found possible to carry them ; and
there are hut few towns that do not contain sonic
remarkable evidences of their good effects. The
certificates that have been presented to the proprie

dred of w hich are from regular practising physicians,
who arc the most competent judges ol their merits.
Often have the cures perloiraed by this medicine
been the subject ot editorial comment in vaiious
newspapers and journals ; and it may with truth
be asserted, that no me itcine of the kind lias ever !
received testimonials of greater value than are at

I’hey are in general use as a family medicine,

they are never satisfied unless they have a supply
