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
and in times which ought to give them weight suf
ficient to hear down all (he petty calumnies and
quibbling objections which party rnalignilymay now
presume to Idrge 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
Stated, the legislatures of Indiana, and of Kentucky

Col. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
the Uniled Sstafcs, said, (in Congress'—
Who is Gen. Harrison 1 The son of one of the
signers oft hs Declaration of In lependcnce, who
spent the greater part of his large fortune in redeem
ing 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
years he has been identified with its interests, its
Us hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks'ol peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils ol his country, he had been yet more
illustriously" distingu’shed in the field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than any o'her Generai officer; he was, per
haps, oltcnerin action than any one ot 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 look
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,
us well as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commandet on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline
James Madison in his Message to Congress, No
vembfr, 1812, said,
“ An ample force from the States ot 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
w hom are citizens some of them volunteers in the
ranks,not less distinguished by their political sta
tions than by their persona! merits.”
In Mr. Madison’s message of December 1318, 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 thirlher, and,iapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminat 'd 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. ”
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 inarch
under General Harrison with the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

“ Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
Thousands of women and , hddren rescued from the
scalping knife ot the ruihless savage of the wilder
ness, and from the still more savage Proctor, rest on

In the Legislature of Indiana, on the 12th Nov.
1811, the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Gen. Wrn. Johnston, thus addressed General Harri
son. .
“Sir—The House of Representatives of the In
diana territory, in their own name, and m behalf of
their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the
congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
result ofthe 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
take into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, foi a
moment, w ithhold oik meed of applause.”

<g>“ Resolved, By the Senate and House ol Hepre

William Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a

Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest thanks
of his 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 :
“My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered the most essential service, by comrannica

Sentiments of »he Hero of Fort Stephenson, ( 01.
Croghan:
‘•1 desire no plaudits whic h arc bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
“ 1 have lilt the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as an ablecomman
der remains unshaken. I feel every assurance that
he will at all limes do me justice ; and nothing
could give me more pain than lo sec his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues (as in mv humble opinion he has hither
to done; to make the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
his command will justify, 1 shall not hesitate to
unite with the army in bestowing upon him that
confidence which he so richly merits, and w hich has
on no occasion been withheld.”
1 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.”
Prom 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 sai.t.”
“ *'n all ages, and in ail 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.”

—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, wiih 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 liv os, 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 life 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 army,may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events al the
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said :
“l! must be 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 of Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
aclislics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances ol
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.
in 1792, he was promoted to the rank of Lieu
tenant: and in 1793, joined the legion under Gen.
Wayne, and in a lew days thereafter, was selected
by him as one of his Aids.
On the 24th of August, 1794, he distinguished
himself in the battle of the Miami, and elicited the
most flattering written approbation of Gen Wayne.
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

On the7th November, 1811, he gained the great

On the 11th September, 1312, he was appointed
by Madison, Cominander-iu-Chief of the North
western army.
On the Ist May, 1813, the seige of Fort Meigs
commenced—lasted five days, ami was terminated
by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gea. Har
rison.
On the ".Ist July, 1313, the battle ot Fort Ste

On the sth October, 1813, he gamed the splendid

In 1814, he was appointed by Madison one of

negotiated a treaty at Detroit.
In 1810, he was elected a member of 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 ot 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 For
forty years he has been idenrified with its interests,
its perils, and ns 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 Unger in actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, eftner 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 deliverer !!

ISOUTH-CAROLINA FEMALE INSTI
TUTE.
mHE duties of this Institution, under the direc-
JL tion of Dr. Elias Marks and Rev. Well
ington H. Tyler, will be resumed on the first
October ensuing.
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 :
“Air. Wellington H. Tyler is a graduate of this
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 duties of his office with great credit to himself
and advantage to the Institution. Since then, he
has studied Theology in the Andover Seminary,
and is now a very acceptable preacher of the Gos
pel.
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, 1539.”
“Amherst College, Sept. 20,1839.
This may certify. That the subscriber is well
acquainted with the Rev, Wellington H. Tyler,
having known him as a member of this College, of
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
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.
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
ratic genius and fanciful attainments. The former
requires the symmetrical developcment of all the
faculties which make up the mental and moral
constitutions, and, under no circumstances of future
life, will it leave the pupil in the condition of a
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 arc 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 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 a( any period of the Term,
and charged only for the unexpired portion of the
Term.
The Institurion will be open five days of the
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
hooks, stationary, postage, and necessary articles,
such as shoes, &c. unless an advance is made, in
deposite, for the same.
All letters to Principals must he post-paid,
Wc recommend to patrons and others to post-pay

Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us
making known real discoveries, which we are
