\Te have compiled, from various sources, the fol
lowing disinterested testimonials, which were com
manded from their several authors by the lolly pa-
IrroliSn, valor, talents and success ot General Har

and in times winch ought to gi'e them weight suf
ficient to bear down all the petty calumnies and
quibbling objections w hich party mahgnilymay now
presumedo forge against the war-worn and time
honored and soldier.
The amhorilies we present against the attacks or
loco foco federalism, and which we have stereotyp

Col. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President ol
the United Slates, 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, ot his “fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties ot his
country.
“ Olthe career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
- the nistory of the West, is his history. For forty
years he has been identified with its itiiorests, its
hopes. Universally beloved in the
peace, and distinguished by his ability in
c councils of his country, he had been yet more
illustriously distingtushed tn the field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice tnan any o 1 her General officer; he was, per
haps, oltener in action than any one ot them, and
nevetpsustained 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 sec 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 commandei on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and disciplined'
James Madison in his Message to Congress. No
vember, 1312, said,
“ An ample force from the States ol Kentucky*,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, tinder 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 IS 13, the
compliment w as 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 arm'*, transferred the
war tlnriher, and, lapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly ierminat d in the capture of
the Briiish, and dispersion 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 of praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, by eleven of the officers who
foughtgjunder his banner at the battle of Tippeca
noe;
“Should our country again require our service to
oppose a civilised or a savage foe, we should march
under General Harrison with the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

“ I 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 c f Penn
sylvania, December 10,1813
“ Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
thousands of w omen 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 1-1 h Nov.
1811, the 8 peaker of the House of Representsives,
(4ea. Win Johnston, thus addressed General Harri
son
“ Sir—The House of Representatives of th" 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 oft he late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet, and the tribes ol Indians confederated
with him; when wo see displayed in behalf of
our country, not only the consummate abilities of
the general, but the heroism of the man ; and when
w e fake into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, foi a
moment, withhold on * meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky , January 7, IST2.
“ Resolved, By the Senate and House ol Repre
talivcsof the State of Kentucky, in the late cam
paign against tne 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 gauntry and feis nation
Gen. Anthony Wayne, in his Letler to the Secre
tary of War, giving an official account of his san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said :
“My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered the most essential service, by communica
tint rnv orders in every direction, and by his con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
victory.”
Resolution directing the madals struck, and,|to be

and for other purposes.
Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre

British and Indian forces under Major General Proc

thirteen, jyipiuring the British army, w ith their hag
age, camp' equippage, and artillery; and that the

Speaker of the House of Representatives.
John Gaillard,
President ol the Senate, pro tempore.
April 4, 1813.—Approved,
James Monroe.
Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says:
“ ] leci no hesitat ion to declare to you that I be
lieve Gen. Harrison to be one of the first military
characters I ever knew."
Col. Richard 31. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, Joly
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 ui the enemy, has
alwavs appeared to me to have evinced a high
degree of military talent. 1 cone ir wifi
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 os 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 :
*• J desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
“ I have kit the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. 1 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 f&s in my humble opinion he hss hither
todoneJto make the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
his command will justify, I shall not hesitate to
untie with the army tn bestowing upon him that
conjidenre which he so richly me, its, atvl which his
on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said :
“G en Harrison’s letier 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 dojnsticeto 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 wont of pro
visions, and the whole army has subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw dekf Without salt.”
£0“ “ 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. II Harris in.
“THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
— May thev 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 lor it, than any man
living.” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man IB es, whose w hole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Terry and Harrison, that •■foes 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 (heat, 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 cand d ite for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his life of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography ol Gen Har
rison, 4>aid ;
“The defence of Fort Meigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British army, may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events jl the
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said ;
“If must be conceded that (his victory reflected
great honor upon the national arm<, 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 cl Gen. Harrison; and. indeed,
all the events of the campaign support those char
j 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 Pern* left Detroit in the An el, 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.”

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 fiy 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 deliverer !!

ryiHK d.itiesof this Institution, under the direc
| tion of Dr. Elias Marks atul Rev. Well
ington H. Tyler, will he resumed on the first
October ensuing.
Twenty-two years of past service is the p!cd;e
which one o the above-named individuals offers,
for that which is forthcoming. He is enabled,
from personal acquaintance, to testify as to 'he
superior qualifications of Mr. T. The following,
among other testimonial, arc offered :
“.ilr. Wellington H. Tyler is a graduate of this
College After taking his first degree, he went to
Kentucky, where lie proved himself to be an able
and faithful teacher of youth. Being invited to
lake a tutorship here, he returned and discharged
the duties of hi* office with great credit to himself
and advantage to the Institution. Since then, lie
has studied Theology in the Andover Seminary,
and is now a very acceptable preacher of the Cos
pel.
It afford* 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, II Humphrey, Pres.
Amherst College, Sept. IG, 1839.”
“Amherst College, Sept. 20, IS 0.
This may certify, That the subscriber is well
acquainted with the Rev. Wellington 11. Tyler,
having known him as a member of this CoTege, of
which lie is an alumnus,and afterwards as a Tutor
in the College, and since as a licensed preacher
resident in this place ; and I take groat pleasure
in recommending him to the public confidence as a
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 cither 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.
The Principals of the Institute, in the discharge
of the highly responsible duties winch 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 lor
them the admiration too often bestowed upon a
• ratic genius and fanciful attainments. The former
requires the symmetrical developcmcnt of all the
faculties which make up the mental and moral
constitutions, and, under no circumstances of future
I life, will it leave the pupil in the condition of a
traveller, who should receive for his guidance a
map of a ditTorent 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 min i 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
i 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 litc —for the improvement and the
enjoyment of those who may thus be removed from
the danger of being injuriously involved in fasb
ionablc 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 tu o 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 unexpived portion of the
Term.
The Institution will be open five days of the
week, curing the hours of recitation, from 6 a m.
to 5 p. 3i. to the inspection of patrons and those
interested in the cause of Female Education.
No expenditures will be made for pupils, for
books, s ationary, postage, and necessary articles,
such as shoes, kc. unless an advance is made, in
deposite, for the same.
All letters to Principals must be post-paid.
Wc recommend to patrons and others to post-pay
their letters, addressed to the inmates of the in
stitute, in order to anticipate errors of double post
age upon the part of Postmasters.

The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases of every form and description. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coats of the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities eon tanlly settling around them; and t»
remove the hardened feces which collect
convolustons of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costivencss with > 11 its train of evils, or in a sud
den d;arrhtr-a, wii h 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
ladcd to the public bv ignorant p< rsons. r J he se
cond effect of the Lile Medicines is to cleanse the
kidneys and the bladder, and hy this means, the
liver and the kings, the healthful action of which
entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary
organs. The blood, which takes its red color from
llie agency of the liver and the lungs before it
passes into the hear, being thus purified by them
and nourished hy food coming from a clean stom
i aeh, courses freely th.ongh the veins, renews every
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the
j banner of health in the bluomku? cheek.

ACADEMY OF RICHMOND COUNTY*
rpilE Trustees of this institution arc happy to
Jl 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 full
confidence of the Trustees, and who, they are sa
tisfied, are fully entitled to that of the public.
Mr. Erxenpi tsch, the Rector of the Academy,
already favorably known to the community, has
charge of the Classical department and all the
i 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 sulficiently 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 offer.

Radical Cure oiHernia or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
riNHE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
I 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- j
mittee ot the Philadelphia Medical Bocicty on the J
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 wcarcther
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 terras, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to the confidence of
the profession, as the best known means of me
i 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,
i and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best
j 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 j
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 di?ability.
The instruments are of ali sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture,

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 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 from 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 otheis what they
have done for such as mav have used them ; as
; .his is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will
I 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 daiiy 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 il
ascertaine t that dney coiaaiucu alterative and diu
retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use
the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that
they know what it is Were it a patent my stery,
they would be bound to rejeettbe 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 use the Tomato
