The Homage of Justice.
\¥e have compiled, from various sources, the fol
lowing disinterested testimonials, w hich were com
manded from their several authors by the lofty pa
triotism, valor, talents and success of General Har
rison, long before he was named for the Presidency
and in times which ought to give them weight suf
ficient to bear down all the petty calumnies and
quibbling objections which party malignityraay now
presume to forge against the war-worn and time
honored potriot and soldier.
The authorities we present against the attacks of
loco foco federalism, and which we have stereotyp
ed as an impregnable barricade against all opposi
tion, are no less than the Congress of the United
States, the Legislatures of Indiana, and of Kentucky
James Madison, Jas. Monroe, Col. Richard M. John
son, Anthony Wayne, Langdon Cheves, Simon Sny
der, Gov. Shelby , Com. Perry, Col Croghan, Col.
Davis, and others, including in the illustrious cata
logue even 'Thomas Ritchie, Isaac Hill, John M.
Ndes and Moses Dawson !
CoWiichard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
the IJrnied States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence, who
spent the greater part of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, of his “ fortune, life
nnd sacred honor,” to secure the liberties of his
country.
‘lOfthe career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
the history of the West, is his history. For forty
3'ears he has been identified with its its
perils and its hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils of his country, he had been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than any other General officer; he was, per
haps, oftener in action than any one ol 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 took
place on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
as well as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commando 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 of 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 :
“ The 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 thirther, and, rapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminated in the capture of
the British, and dispersion of the savage force.
* ‘ This result is signally honorable to Major Gen
eral Harnson, by whose military talents it was pre
pared."
The following tribute of 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 if civilized or a savage foe, we should march
under General Harrison with the most perfect confi
% deuce of victory and fame.”

Extract of a letter from Col. Davis, who was kil
led at the battle of Tippecanoe, August 24, 1811:
“ 1 make free to declare, that I have imagined
there were two military men in the West, and Gen.
Harrison is the first of the two ”
Message of Simon Snyder, Governor cf Penn
sylvania, December 10,1813
“ Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
thousands of women and children rescued from the
scalping knife ot the ruthless savage of the wilder
ness, and from the still more savage Proctor, rest on
Harrison and his gallant, army.”
In the Legislature of Indiana, on the 12th Nov.
1811, the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Gen. Wm. Johnston, thus addressed General Harri
son.
“ Sir—The House of Representatives of the In
diana territory, in their own name, and in behalf of
their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the
congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet, and the tribes-of Indians confederated
with him; when we see displayed in behalf of
our country, not only the consummate abilities of
the general, but the heroism of the man ; and when
we take into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, for a
moment, withhold our meed of applause.”
® Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
«“ Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre
tativesof the State of Kentucky, in the late cam
paign against the Indians upon the Wabash, Gov.
William Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a
patriot and a general; and that for his cool, delib
erate, skilful and gallant conduct in the battle of
Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest thanks
of his country and his nation
Gen. Anthony VVaxne, inhis Letter to the Secre
tary of War, giving an official account of his san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said :
‘%ly faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered the most essential service, by communica
ting my orders in every direction, and by his con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
victory.”
Resolution directing the madals ’struck, andjto be
together with the thanks of Congress, presented
to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby,
and for other purposes.
Resolved , By the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the United States of America in Con
gress assembled. That the thanks of Congress
be, and they are hereby, presented to Major Gen
eral William Henry Harrisor. and Isaac Shelby,
late Gov. of Kentucky, and through them, to the of
ficers and men under their command, for their gal
lantry and good conduct in defeating the combined
British and Indian forces under Major General Proc
tor, on the Thames, in Upper Canada, on the fifth
day of October, one thousand eight hundred and
thirteen, capturing the British army, with their bag
age, camp equippage, and artillery ; and that the
President of the United States be requested to cause
two gold medals to be struck, emblematic of this
triumph, and be presented to General Harrison and
Isaac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky.
H. Clay,
Speaker of the blouse of Representatives.
John Gail lard,
President of the Senate, pro tempore.
April 4, 1818.—Approved,
James Monroe.
Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says ;
“ 1 Icel no hesitation to declare to you that I be
lieve Gen. Harrison to be one of the first military
characters I ever knew."
Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813, says:
“ We 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
18, 1817, says :
“ The prompt change made by you in the order of
battle on discovering the position of the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. I COOC IF With
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct m that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle of the
Thames.
“ The victory of Harrison, was such as would have
secured to a Roman General in the best days of the
Republic, the honors of a triumph ! He put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada."
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan:
“ 1 desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
•* I have felt the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and ray 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
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and eo long as he
continues (as in my humble opinion he has hither
to done) to make the wusest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
Ids command will justify, I shall not hesitate to
unite with the army in bestowing upon him that
cons deuce which he so richly merits, and which has
on no occasion been withheld.”
The Richmond Enquirer said:
“G en Harrison’s letter fells us every thing that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He docs justice to every one hut Harrison —and
the world must therefore do justice to the man who
was too modest to be just to himself.”
From Gen. Harrison’s 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 three days, on raw beef without salt.”
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 of 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 Wm. H. Harrison.
“ General Harrison has done more for his 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 li\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 Goy.
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 tho]Jsritish army, may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events of the
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, be said :
“It must he 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 cf Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
aclistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no 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
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”
An Eloquent Record,
William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on
the 9th of February, 1773.
In 1791, when 19 years of age, he was appointed
by Washington an Ensign in our infant army.

j himself in the battle of the Miami, and elicited the
most flattering written approbation of Gen Wayne.

in the same year, with his colleagues Gov. Shelby
and Gen. Cass, concluded the celebrated treaty of
Greenville.
In 1815, he was again appointed such Commis
sioner, with Gen. McArthur and Mr. Graham, and
negotiated a treaty at Detroit.
In 1816, he was elected a member of Congress.
In Janaary, 1813, he introduced a resolution in

most feeling, classical and eloquent speeches ever
delivered in the House of Representatives.
In 1819, he was elected a member of the Ohio
Senate.
In 1824, he was elected Senator in Congress,
and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of the Mili

resigned.
In 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia,
and, in 1829, wrote his immortal letter to Bolivar
the deliverer of South America.
Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke
in the House of Representatives whilst a member
of that body :
“Os the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not
speak—the history of the west is his history. Fur
forty years he has been identified with its interests,
its perils, and ils hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability
in the councils of his country, he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
late war, he was linger in actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, ©finer in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
Such 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 by his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of the nation, “and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliver !!

ACADEMY OF RICHMOND COUNTY
THE Trustees of this institution are happy to
have it in their power to state, that both the
principal Academy in Augusta, and the branch at
Summerville, have resumed their exercises, under
the management of Teachers who have the lull
confidence of the Trustees, and who, they are sa
tisfied, are fully entitled to that of the public.
Mr. Ernenputsch, the Rector of the Academy,
already favorably known to the community, has
charge of the Classical department and all the
branches of education requisite for admission to
our best Colleges. His attainments as a scholar
and success in imparting useful knowledge, emi
nently qualify him for the discharge of the im
portant duties of his station.
Mr. Ring, the principal English Teacher, re
cently engaged by the Board, comes with the high
est recommendations as to character, talents, lite
rary attainments and skill in teaching, and the
Trustees feel assured that he will sustain the re
putation which led to his selection.
The branch of the Academy at Summerville is
under the immediate management of Mr. Frank
lin George, a gentleman of experience in teach
ing, and highly recommended. The advantage of
the location of this branch of the Academy in one
of the most healthful neighborhoods in the State,
and sufficiently remote from the unfavorable in
fluence of a crowded town, are too well known to
need comment.
On the whole, the Board confidently recommend
to the public the principal Academy and the Branch
at Summerville, as being on a better footing than
they have heretofore been, and promising great
usefulness to those who may avail themselves of
the advantages which they oiler.

MOFFAT’S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
f |IHESE medicines are indebted for their name
X to tin ir manifest and sensible action in puri
fying the spring and channels ol life, and enduing
them with renewed tone and vigor. In manv hun
dred certified cases which has been made public,
and in almost every species of disease to which
the human frame is liable, the happy effects of
MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PIIENIX BIT
TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac
knowledged by the persons benefiitted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beauiifully
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 coals ot the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities constantly settling around them ; and to
remove the hardened fasces which collect t
convolustons of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costiveness with all 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 medicines—or medicines prepared and her
laded to the public bv ignorant ptrsons. The 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, which takes its red color from
the agency of the liver and the lungs before it
passes into the heart, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food coming from a clean stom
ach, courses freely through 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, Ijropsies
of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consump
tion, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scurfmtic
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 frame. In fever and
ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been
most eminently successful; so much so that in tjie
Fever and<Xgue .districts, Physicians .almost uni
versally pdafrihc-tliern.

to be the Life Medicines strictly

A CERTAIN CURE FOR THE
Itch!!
No article ever introduced to public notice has been
found to answer a better purpose, or been more highly ap
proved, than the justly celebrated
Dumfries’ Itch Ointment.
SO great and extended has become its reputation, that
dealers are ordering it from all parts of the country,
as a remedy which gives their customers the highest
satisfaction.
ftCr A Student I—connected with one of our Liter
ary Institutions, where this loathsome disease had ap
peared, observes, that Dumfries’ Itch Ointment extermi
nated it, after various other applications had failed to do
bo, and it had in consequence gained a reputation in that
Seminary, and vicinity, as the best remedy known for the
Itch!
This preparation, for pleasantness, safety, expedi
tion, ease and certainty, is unsurpassed, if equalled. It
does not contain the least particle of mercury, or other
dangerous ingredient, and may be applied with perfect
safety by pregnant females, or to children at the breast,
and it cures, however inveterate, in
$5" One Hour’s Application only I—And no
danger from taking cold.
It is also one of the best applications for a hxtnor, mi
form of a ring-worm, known by the name of the Bjlrbekb’

skin generally.
Price 25 cents a box, with ample directions.

THE HABERSIIA3I HOTEL.
THE subscribers inform the public that they
have taken this spacious building, situated in
the village of Clarkesville,and which is now ready
for the accommodation of large families and travel
lers in general. There are about forty rooms, all
large and comfortable, large slables, extensive lots,
and pastures, and every other comfort and conven
ience that can be had in the up country.
The village of Clarkesville is so situated that in
a few hours’ ride, any person can visit either of
the following places: the Tallulah Falls, with a
precipice of 800 feet; the Tuccoa Falls, 182 feet
fall; the Naucoochee Valley, and Mount Yonah,
from the top, a height ofgl2oo feet, the most splen

neighborhood of the Valley are extensive gold
mines, and a short days’ ride from the Georgia
Mint.
All these attractions, added to the health of the
climate, make Clarkesville a desirable summer
residence.
On the route from Madison Springs to Clarkes
ville, near the Currahee Mountain, is a strong
mineral Spring.

Radical Cure ol Hernia or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
f |IHE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
1 store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson &Co., for the
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by means of these
ustly celebrated instruments. He has now used
them for nearly a year, and, did not delicacy forbid,
he could name several persons who have been radi
cally cured, of this truly distressing and dangerous
affection, by the use of these Trusses,besides many
others who are in a fairway of being entirely re
lieved. The following is the language of the com
mittee of the Philadelphia Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernia.
“ The instruments of Dr. Chase have effected
the permanent and accurate retention of the,in
testines in every case of Hernia observed by the
committee, without material inconvenience to the
patient, and often under trials more severe than
are usually ventured upon by those who wearother
trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any
other apparatus known to the committee.”
“ The committee are induced by the foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in strong terms, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to the confidence of
the profession, as the best known means of me
chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the
highest chances of radical cure ”
The following is from the Southern Medical and
Southern Journal, published in our own city.
“ All must admit of the radical cure of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best
yet invented to effect the object.”
Persons from a distance can have the instruments
applied, upon application at the office, and all ne
cessary information given to enable them to adjus
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under
this afflicting complaint, will be treated gratuitous
ly upon presenting a certificate, from some
blc person, of their pecuniary disability.
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture.

TO THE FACULTY AND HEADiToF
FAMILIES.
DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, and
docs not belong to the family of quack medicines;
for the reason that the component parts are made
known to the faculty, or any one else that may
wish to know, by any of the agents keeping them
for sale. Since this discovery so long and anx
iously looked for, some one in almost the extreme
North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to
be made Irom the stalk, a thing not more aosuiu
than for one to offer meal from the corn stalk, to
say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato
so far North.
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the
Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of
which, he holds himself bound, and in honor pledg
ed to prove by their use, that they are all that they
profess to be, and will do for others what they
have done for such as mav have used them; as
-his is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will
doubtless be valuable information to families to
know that the Yellow arc just doubly as valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much
of the hapatine, or active principle, and when used
as a daily vegetable will be found to keep the
system in much better condition than the other
kind ; many will recollect with what trembling
anxiety calomel has been given to children, and
how they then wished for a substitute. It has
long been known that the Tomato contained ca
thartic principles, but not until of late was it
ascertained that they contained alterative and diu
retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use
the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that
they know what kis Were it a patent mystery,
they would be bound to reject the medicine, as the\ r
justly do the one thousand and one cure-alls of the
day. L you wish to cleanse the system with a
mild, sme antt-bilious medicine, use the Tomato
1 ill, ot which a supply, we learn, will soon be in
lus city. We all know something aoout tills,
