Col. Richard M. Johnson, now \ tee I rcsidi nt of
the Uniied 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 redei ru
ing the pledge he then gave, of his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties ol hia
country.
“ Os the career of Oen. Harrison I need not speak
- the history ofthe Wes/, is his history For forty
years he has been identified vvitli its interests, its
perils and ns hopes. Universally Moved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils ol his country, lie had been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field.
“ During the late war, he was lunger in active ser
vice than any o'her General officer; he was, per
haps, oltener in action than any one ol them, and
never sustained a defeat
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, 1811, said.
“ W hile it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost in the action which took
place on the 7th ultimo. Congress will see with sat
isfaction the (lautnless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed bv every description ofiroops engaged,
us well as the collected firmness which distinguished
iheir commandei on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline.
James Madison in las .iessage to Congress, No
,ember, 181-2, said,
am file f* >rce from the SlQlcs ot
vjmio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, under the command
ol Brigadier General Harrison, who possesses the
entire confidence of his I'd low soldiers, among
whom are citizens some of them volunteers in the
ranks,not less distinguished by their political sta
tions than by their personal merit*.”
In Mr. Madison’s message of December 1813, the
compliment was extended, as follows :
“ The success on Lake Erie having opened a pas
sage to the territory of lire enemy, the officer com
manning the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thin her, and, tapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with then savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminal d in the capture ot
the British, and dispersion of the savage force.
“ This result is signally honorable to Major Gen
eral Harrison, by whose military talents it was pre
pared."
'J’he following tribute of praise vva» paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, by leven of the officers who
fought under his banner at the battle of Tippeca
noe . 1
“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 fame.”

“ Already is the brow ol the young warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled wit h laurels, and the blessings of
thousands of women and . hildren rescued from the
scalping knileot the rm bless savnge of the wilder

in the Legislature of Indiana, on the 12th Nov.

Gen. Wra. Johnston, thus addressed general Harri
son.
“Sir The House cf Repiesentatives of the In

result of the late sanguinary conflict with tiie Shaw

with him; when we see displayed in behalf of
our country, noi only the consummate abilities of

we take into view the benefits whic h must result to

Col. Kichaid M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July

Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan: *
i desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
“ I have kit the warmest attachment fur him as a
man, and my confidence in him as anj able comman
der remains unshaken. 1 feel every ItLurance that
he will at all times do me justice end nothing
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out slieir unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues ias in my humble opinion he h s hither
to done) tom ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
his command will justify. stiaii noli nesilate ;o
unite with tne array :n bestowing aoot: mm tuai
eonfdence which he so nchly merits , and which has
on rooccasion been withheld.”
The Richmond Enquirer said:
“G en Harrison’s lefier tells us every thing that
we w ish to know about the officers, except himself.
He does justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore dojusticeto the man who
was too modest to be just to himself.”
/roni (Jen. liarrison’s report of the battle of the
Thames :
“We have suffered greatly for the want of pro
visions, and the whole army has subsisted, fur the
last thrde days, on haw 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.’

May they ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting »V m. H. Harrison.
“General Harrison has done more lor his coun
try, with less compensation for it, than any man
j iv i, e ” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man IP es, w hose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Perry find 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
Em( ire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomE hawk and scalping 1- nife ! If there be such an
one, he is a traitor to the country —he possesses the
spiri: of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Boren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his lite of Perry published in
1821, alien giving a general biography of Gen iiar
risor, *.aid ;
“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 :
“J7 must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, and upon the
troops by ii horn it was achieved. j
“ The aci ion. and the movements which preceded j
it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and ,
cool intrepidity cl Gen. ila rison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these cliar
actisiics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are pethaps on record few instances ol
such cool and steady intrepidity, 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 the
frontiers.”

forty years he has been identified with its interests,
its penis, and us hopes Universally beloved in
the walks ol peace,and distinguished by his ability
in the councils of his country,he has been yet mure
illustriously distinguished in ilie field. During the
late war. he was Unger 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 lame and glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy j
can assail him, is now summoned r»y his gratelul j
countrymen to lea"e the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of the nation, “ and deliver
the country from the dangers w hich encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !

MOFFAT’S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
f I4HESE medicines are indebted for their name
1. to thi 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
TERS have been gralefully and publicly ac
l nowledged 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 of every form and descripiion. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coats ot the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities eon tantly settling around them ; and to
remove the hardened fames which collect
conversions of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costiveness with 1 11 its train ofevils, or in a sud
den d arrhoea, vvilh its eminent dangers. This fact
is well known to ail regular anatomists, who ex
amine the human bowels after death ; and heme
the prejudice of those well informed men against
quack meiiicmes—or medicines prepared and her
laded to the public bv ignorant pi rsons. 'J he se
cond effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse tho
kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the
liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which
entirely depends upon the regularity ot the urinary
organs. The blood, which takes its red color from
the agency of the liver and the lungs before it
passes into the beat, being tnus purified by them
and nourished by fond coming from a clean stom
ach, courses freely th ough the veins, renews every
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts Hie
banner of health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Lite Medicines have been
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of
the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-bura and Head
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor
and Melancholy, Cosliveness, Uiarrhcca, Cholera,
Fevers of all kinds. Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies
of all kind, Gravel, VV orms, Asthma and Consump
lion, Scurvy, f liers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic
Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com
plainls, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable
Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common
Colds and influenza and various other complainis
which afflict the hun.ar frame. In fever and
ague, patticularly. Hie Life Medicines have been
most eminently successful; so much so that in the
Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni |
versally prescribe them.
All ihal Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is l
to be particular in inking the Lite Medicines strictly
according to the directions, it is not by a news
paper notice, or any thing that he himself may say j
in their lavor, that he hopes to gam credit, it is !
alone by the result of a lair trial.

i £.. SPOH V a German pny»ician ol much
n.J' note, reaving uevuteu nis attention ior some
years lutnecure and removm ot trie ct uses ot NEK- i
VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, hasthesatis
f-iction to make known, that he lias a remedy which
by removing t lie causes cures effectually and perma
nently this distressing complaint There are many
famines who have considered trick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint* Dr. 8. as
sures them that ihey are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which iney might not only alleviate
but actually eradicated by the usi if his remedy.
it is the result ol scientific research,and is entirely
of a different character trora advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant lo the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr Spohn’s
remedy lor this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
That sum ich suffering should have existed forages
without any discovery-of an effectual preventive, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret hut 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 milted fact that this complaint, whether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach—those w lio 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 some channel
must they expect s restoration ol the natural and
healthy functions of the system. This object, Dr
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain, i
The truth of this position cannot be controverted, I
and the sooner sufferers with the headache become |
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end 1
in restoration ol health, Dr. Spohn pledges his
professional reputation on this fact. Tree remedy
may be had ot apothecaries generally throughout
the United States.
