The amhorilies we present against the attacks or loco foco federalism, and which we have stereotyp ed as an impregnable barricade against all opposi tion, are no less than the Congress »J the i nited States, the Legislatures of Indiana , and til Kentucky James Madison, Jus.

Daviff and others, including in the illustrious cata logue even Thomas Ritchie, Isaac Hill , John If lies and Moses Damson ! 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.” JOEb COOK, R. B. BURTON, NATHAN ADAMS, A. HAWKINS, H. BURCHSTEAD, HOSEA BLOOD, JOSIA SN EE LING, O. G. BURTON, C. FULLER, G GOODING, J. D. FOSTER. Extract, of a letter from Col. Davis, who was kil led at the, battle of Tippecanoe, August 24, 13H; “ 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 together with the thanks of Congress, presented to "Major General Harrison, and Gov. Bhclby, 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, jyipiuring the British army, w ith their hag age, camp' equippage, and artillery; and that the President ot the United States be requested to cause two gold medals to be struck, embleraaiie of this triumph, and be presented to General Harrison and Isaac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky. H. Cr.AV, 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.” An Eloquent Record,. William Henry Harrison w as born in Virginia on the 9ih of February, 1773. In 1791, when 19 y*ears of age, he was appointed I by Washington an Ensign in our infant array, in 1792, he was promoted to the rank of Lieu tenant : and in 1793, joined the legion under Gen. Wayne,and in a tew days thereafter, was selected by him as one of his Aids. On the 24th ol August, 1791, he distinguished j kimself in the battle ol the Miami and elicited the ! most flattering w ritten approbation of Gen Wayne, t 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 w as chosen a delegate to Congress. In 1801, he was appointer! Governor of Indiana, and in the same year, President Jefferson appointed him sole Commissioner for treating with the In dians. i In JBO9, he was re-appointed Governor of Indi ana bv Madison. On the 7th November, 1311, he gained the great victory of TIPPECANOE On the 11 1 h September, 1812, he was appointed bv Madison, Coiumander-in-Cliief of the North western army. On the Ist May, 1813, the seise ot Fort Meigs commenced—lasted five days, and was terminated by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gcm. Har rison. On tlie 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste phenson occurred. On the sth October, 1813, he gained the splendid victory of the THAMES, over the Briiish and In dians under Proctor. In 1814, he was as pointed by Madison one of the Commissioners to real with the Indians and in the same year, with his colleagues Gov. Shelby and Gen. Cass, concluded the ceietnaled treaty of Greenville. In 1815, he was again appointed such Commis sioner, with Gen. Me Arthur and Mr. Graham, and negotiated a treat}* at Detroit. In 1316, he was elected a member of Congress. In January, 1818, he introduced a -Resolution in honor of Kosciusko, and supported it in one of the 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 tary Coinmitiee.in place of Gen. Jackson, who had 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 ol Representatives whilst a member ol that body : “Os the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not speak—the history of the west is his history For forty years he has been identified w ith its interests, its perils, and us 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. fie was Unger in actual service than any oilier General Officer; he was, perhaps, efiner 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 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 !! AUGUSTA IRON AND BRASS FOUNDRY, The Castings from this establishment have given universal satisfaction since it has been in operation.

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.

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.

In many 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 FHENIX BIT TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac- I nowledgod by the persons benefiitfed, and who were previously unacquainted with the beautifully philosophical principles upon which ihey are compounded, and upon which they ejnsequemly act. 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. Moss "at’s Vegetable late Medicine; have been thoroughly altered, and pronounced a sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-bum and Head ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera, Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consiimp lion, t?cur\ y, 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 complainis 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 versally prescribe them. All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly according to the directions. It is not by a news paper notice, or any thing that he himself may say in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit, it is alone bv the resuL of a fair trial.

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.

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, feb 2U ' F. M. ROBERTSON, M. D. TO Til E FAC I LT V AN 1> 11 LABS 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 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 FilljOl which a supply, we learn, will soon be in his city. \Ve all Know something aoom mis. uce i?
