The Homage of Justice.
We have compiled, from various sources, the fol
lowing disinterested testimonials, which 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
in limes which ©light to give them weight suf
ficient to bear down all the petty calumnies and
quibbling objections which party malignitymay 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, Lang don Cheves, Simon Sny
der, Gov. Shelby, Com. Perry, Col Croghan, Col.
Davis, and others, including in the illustrious cata*
logit ? even Thomas Ritchie, Isaac Hill, John M.
Ndes and Moses Dawson !
CofrSßichard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
the United States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is (fen. Harrison? The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence, who
spem the greater part of his large fortune in redeem
-9 ingHhe pledge he then gave, of his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties of his
country.
“Os the career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
the history ofthe West, is his history. For forty
yearajie has been identified with its interests, its
perils and its hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks ol 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 of 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
j, 4 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 trre territory of the enemy, the officer cum
• nianding the Northwestern arras, transferred the
war thtrther, and, lapidly 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 Harrison, by whose military talents it was pre
pared.”
9 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 a civilized or a savage foe, we should march
under General Harrison with the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

Harrison is the first of the two ”
Message of Simon Snyder, Governor of Penn
sylvama, December 10, 1813
“ AReady is the brow of the young warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled with laurel©, and the blessings of
thousands of women and children rescued from the
scalping knife of the ruthless savage of the wilder
ness, and from the still more savage Proctor, rest on
0 Harrison and his gallant army.”
In the Legislature of Indiana, on the 12th Nov.
1811, the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Gen. Wm.Mohnston, thus addressed General Harri
son.
“ Sir—The House of Representatives of the In
diana territory, in their own name, and in behalf ol
their constituents, most cordially reciprocate lhe
congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
result of (he late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Propfjft, and the tribes of Indians confederated
with him; when wo see displayed in behalf ol
our country, not only the consummate abilities ol
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 oik meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre
tativesofthe 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 lor his cool, delib
erate, skilful and gallant conduct in battle of
Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest thanks
of hia country and his nation
Gen. Anthony Wayne, in his Letter to the Secre
tary of War, giving an official account of his san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792,said: ,

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 l hem, 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 (he 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. Cr.AY,
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
John Gaillard,
President of the Senate, pro tempore.
April 4, 1818.—Approved,
<« James Monroe.
Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says:
“ I feel 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
9 4, 1813, says:
“ We did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; hut 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 yon 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 U with
the venerable 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 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 :
*• i desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
“ 1 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 times 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 so long as he
continues (as in my humble opinion be has hilher
to done) to make the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
his command will justify, I shall not hesitate to
unite with the army in bestowing upon him that
conjidenre which he so richly merits, and which has
on no occasion been withheld.”
The Richmond Enquirer said;
“G en Harrison's letter tells 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 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.”
IK?" “ 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 of a master.”
Wm. H Harrison.
Kr “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 Gov.
in Connecticut, in his iite 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 array, may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events of the
late war.”
in alluding to the battle of the Thames, belaid :
“ It must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, and upon the
troops by whom it was ach ie ved.
“ The scl ion. and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidity of Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actistics ; 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. ”

himself in the battle of the Miami, and elicited the
most flattering w ritten approbation of Gen W ayne.
In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed
in command of Fort Washington.
In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams,
Secretary of the North-western Territory and ex
officio Lt. Governor.
In 1793, he was chosen a delegate to Congress.
In 1801, he was appointed Governor of Indiana,
and in the same year, President Jefferson appointed
him sole Commissioner for treating with the In

In 1809, he was re-appointed Governor of Indi
ana by Madison.
On the 7th November, 1811, he gained the great

“Os the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not
speak—the history of the west is his history For
forty years he has been idenlified w ith its interests,
its perils, and its 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 lame 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 nalion, “and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliver !!

THE daties of this Institution,under the direc

• ington H, Tyler, will be resumed on the first
October ensuing.
1 Twenty-two years of past service is the pledge
; which one of the above-named individuals offers,
for that which is forthcoming. He is enabled,
from personal acquaintance, to testify as to the
» superior qualifications of Mr. T. The following,
» among other testimonials, are offered :
j “Mr. Wellington H. Tyler is a graduate of this
j College. After taking his first degree, he went to
Kentucky, where he proved himself to be an able
and faithful teacher of youth. Being invited to
take a tutorship here, he returned and discharged
, the daties of his office with great credit to himself
’ and advantage to the Institution. Since then, he
r has studied Theology in the Andover Seminary,
and is now a very acceptable preacher of the Gos
pel,
l It affords me great pleasure to recommend him
to the public, as a man of high moral and Christian
character, and perfectly well qualified to take
charge of any Academy or High School, where his
, services may be wanted. H. Humphrey, Pres.
. Amherst College, Sept. 16, 1839.”
! “Amherst- College, Sept. 20, 1839.
This may certify, That the subscriber is well
i acquainted with the Rev. Wellington H. Tyler,
i having known him as a member of this College, of
i which he is an alumnus, and afterwards as a Tutor
! in the College, and since as a licensed preacher
resident in this place ; and I take great pleasure
. in recommending him to the public confidence as a
i Christian and a minister, and also as a scholar and
gentleman, highly qualified by his abilities, attain
ments, and general character, to superintend the
- instruction of youth of either sex in ary of our
• literary institutions. N. W. Fiske,
Prof. Int. and Mor. Phi’y.”
; Mrs. T. is amply recommended by the Principals
' of the Troy Female Seminary, and also by Profs.
Yates of Union College, and Joslin of the New
York University.
I The Principals of the Institute, in the discharge
of the highly lesponsible duties which will devolve
[ upon them, will aim at practical results, and at
tempt rather to qualify those submitted to their
care for the duties of real life, than to gain for
[ them the admiration too often bestowed upon er
f ratio genius and fanciful attainments. The former
. requires the symmetrical developcment of all the
faculties which make up the mental and moral
I constitutions, and, under no circumstances of future
r life, will it leave the pupil in the condition of a
1 traveller, who should receive for his guidance a
map of a different country from that in which he
is to travel.
They will aim at permanent results. The pow
er and the habit of reasoning are worth more than
any number of the results of others’ reasonii g; —
the love of knowledge and a mind well disciplined
and directed for future acquisitions, are a greater
blessing than any amount of knowledge without
such guaranties for its perpetuity and increase, as
a living fountain is worth more than a stagnant
reservoir of however great dimensions.
They will aim, in short, at combining, in the
highest practicable degree, the advantages of home
education with those which, in the general, can
only be enjoyed abroad, where many are brought
together for the same object ; —at concentrating the
endearments of home, its social sentiments and its
proprieties of life —for the improvement and the
enjoyment of those who may thus be removed from
the danger of being injuriously involved in fash
ionable dissipation, or being too early occupied
with distracting domestic cares and avocations.
It will be perceived that the new arrangement
leaves the identity of the institute untouched. It
will be the same in its objects and aims—the same
in its internal arrangements, in its religious aspects
and in the sentiments of its conductors, as they
regard the domestic institutions of the South.—
Hence the propriety of omitting here much that
must otherwise have been detailed at large, res
pecting our arrangements and the advantages of
them —matters, which have already and repeatedly
been submitted to the notice of the public, and as
it would seem, met their approbation.
The regular Term of the Institute consists of
nine months, commencing on the Ist of October,
and terminating on the last day cf June. Term
divided into two Sessions, of four and a half months
each. Second Session commences on the second
Monday in February, terminating on the last day
of June.
It is every way desirable that pupils should enter
at the commencement of the Term ; they will,
however, be received at any period of the Term,
and charged only for the unexpired portion of the
Term.
The Institution will be open five days of the j
week, during the hours of recitation, from 6 a. m.
to 5 p. m. to the inspection of patrons and those
interested in the cause of Female Education.
No expenditures will be made for pupils, for
books, stationary, postage, and necessary abides,
such as shoes, &c. unless an advance is made, in
deposite, for the same.
All letters to Principals must be post-paid.

1 A CERTAIN CURE FOR THE
Itch! !
article ever introduced to public notice has been J
found to answer a better purpose , or been more highly ap-
Soved , than the justly celebrated
iiimfries’ 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.
55* A Student! —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
so, 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
JT One Hour’s Application only I— And no
danger from taking cold.
It is also one of the best applications for a hamor, in
form of a ring-worm , known by the name of the Barbers’
I-rcn, and is excellent for Piurlss, and diseases of the
skin generally.
Price 25 cents a box, with ample directions.
55“ Caution ! Be particular to observe that the only
original and genuine Dumfries’ Itch Oiktkknt is signed
by T. Kidder, the sole proprietor, on the outside printed
wrapper. None other can possibly be genuine !

Summerville, have resumed their exercises, under
the management of Teachers who have the full
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 erf 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
j the location of this branch of the Academy in one
I 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
ihe advantages which they offer.

MOFFAT S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
f SIHESE medicines are indebted for their name
X to their manifest and sensible action in puri.
i lying the spring and channels ot life, and enduing
them with renewed tone and vigor. In many 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 PHENIX BIT
TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac
knowledged by the persons benefiitted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beautilully
philosophical principles upon which they are
compounded, and upon which they consequently 1
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases ot every form and description. Their 1
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 feces which collect :
convolusions of the smallest iotestimfs. Other ;
medicines only partially cleanse these, and have
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costiveness with til its train of evils, or in a sud- ;
den diarrhoea, with its eminent dangers. This fact <
is well known to ail regular anatomists, who ex i
amine the human bowels after death ; and hence i
the prejudice of those well informed men against ]
quack medicines—or medicines prepared and her- ]
laded to the public by ignorant pi rsons. 'J he se
cond effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse (lie |
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 hcait, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food coming from a clean storn- (
ach, courses freely through the veins, renews every 1
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the i
banner of health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign j
remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of ;
the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Head- j
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor j
and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera, .
Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies <
of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consump
tion. Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic
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 human 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- 1
versally prescribe them. *
All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is *
to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly 1
according to the directions. It is not by a news- '
paper notice, or any thiag that he himself may say 1
m their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is !
alone by the result of a fair trial. 1

Radical Cure oJTlerma or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
11H E subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
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 ol 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 W’earother
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 arc 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 someresponsi*
ble person, of their pecuniary disability.
The instruments arc of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture,

TO THE FACULTY AND HEAiis'oF
FAMILIES.
DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, and
does not belong to the family of quack medicines;
for the reason that the component parts are made
known to the facultjy or any one else that may
wish to know, by any of the agents keeping them
lor 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 from the stalk, a thing not more aosuru
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 othcis 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 are just doubly as valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much
of the hapatiue, 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 .uey conxaineti alterative and diu—
xetic pioperties. Jhe faculty embrace and use
the piepaiation most cheerfully, for the reason that
they know what it is Were it a patent mystery,
they would be bound to reject the medicine, as they
justly do the one thousand and one cure-alls of the
day. If you wish to cleanse the system with a
mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato
Pill, of which a supply, we learn, will soon be in
his city. We all know something aoout tnis.
