Col. Rickard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
ilic United Slates, said, (in Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of ihc
signers of the Declaration of In icpeudonce, who
spent the greater par! of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, of his “ fortune, life
# and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties of his
country.
“ Oft he 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
peri liquid Us hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils of his country, ho had been yet mote
illustriously dislingu’shed in tho field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than any o'her 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
«rS> December 18, 1811, said,
“ While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been Just 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,
as welltfis the collated firmness which distinguished
g their commandei on an occasion requiring the ut
ignosl exertions of valor and discipline. 11
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 tho
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 tlgnby their personal merits.”
e In Mr. Madison’s message of December 1313, 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 thinker, and, lapidly pursuing tho hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
e action, which quickly terminated in the capture of
the»l Jritish, 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, hy 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, wo should march
under General Harrison wiih the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

Harrison is the first of the two ”

“ Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
thousands of women and children rescued from the
scalping knife ot the ruthless savage of the wilder
ness, and from the still more savage Proctor, rest on
Harrison and his gallant array.”
In the Legislature of Indiana, on the 12lhNov.
1811, the Speaker of the House ul Representatives,
(Jen. Win. Johnston, thus addressed jeneral Harri
son.
“ Sir—The House of Representatives of the In

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. 1 '
Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813,says;
“ We did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [Harrison] who hud proved him
self to he wise, prudent and brave. 11
Commodore Perry to Gcjierui Harrison, August

the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign. ’
Honorable Langdon Chores, on the bailie of the
'1 'homes.
“ The victory of Harrison , was such as would have
secured to a Homan General in the best days oj the
Republic, the honors oj a triumph ! He put an end
to the W ar in the Uppermost Canada. 11
Sentiments of the Hero of Tort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan :
*• l desire no plaudits which arc bestowed upon
meat the expense of General Harrison.
“ 1 have Kl the warmest attachment fl»r him as a
man, and my confidence in him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. I feel every assurance that
lie will at all times do me justice; and nothing
could give me morn pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long ns he
continues (as in my 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, I shall not hesitate to
unite with the army in bestowing upon him that
I confidence which he so richly merits, and w inch bos
on no occasion been withheld.”
The Richmond Enquirer said :
‘•(Jen Harrison’s letter tells us everything that
we w ish to know about the officers, except himself
He does justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore dojusticeto the man who
was too modest to be just to himself.”
From Gen. Harrison’srepoit 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.”
“ In all ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators of the soil arc (hose
who are the least willing to part with their rights,
and submit themselves to the will ot a master.”
VV m. II Harrison.
Off- “THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
—May they ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their ow n voting and their
own lighting 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 lives, whose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in tho 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 ol a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Burcu cand date for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his life of Perry published in
1831, alter giving a general biography oi Gen Har
rison, said :
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, ami the subsequent
capture of the British array, may ho fairly consider
ed ihe most brilliant and extraordinary events of the
late w ar.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, be said :
“It must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, and upon the
troops In/ whom it was achieved.
“ The fiction.and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony ol the judgement and
j cool intrepidity of Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
| all the events of the campaign support these char
j artist ice ; 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 intrepidity, on the part of
; militia, or a force of this description, us was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Ariel, and
arrived at Erie on the 33d of October. Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy and
admiration ; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as ihc deliverers of ihe
frontiers.”

forty years he has been identified with its interests,
its perils, and its hopes. Universally beloved in
tlie w alks 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 Huger in actual service than any
other General Officer ; he was, perhaps, est nor in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat. 11
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 tiie councils of the nation, “and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer ! !

SO UTII-C AKOB IN A FEMALE INSTI
TUTE.
fllllE duties of this Institution, under the direc
lion 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 oilers,
for that which is forthcoming. He rs enabled,
from personal acquaintance, to testify as to ihc
superior qualifications of Mr. T. The following,
among other testimonials, are olfered :
“Mr. Wellington H. Tyler is a graduate of this
College. After taking his first degree, he went to
Kent ucky, 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 tire 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
ser vices may he wanted. 11. Humphrey, Pres.
Amherst College, Sept. 16, 1839,”
“Amherst College, Sept. 20, 1539.
This may certify, That the subscriber is well
acquainted with the Rev. Wellington 11. 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. PhPy.”
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 icsponsibleduties 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 sj mmetricai devcloperacnt 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 1 c
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’ icasonit 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 j
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 sash- j
ionable dissipation, or being too early occupied j
with distracting domestic cares and avocations.
It will be perceived that tiie new arrangement
leaves the identity of the Institute untouched. It j
will be the same in its objects and aims—the same
in its internal arrangements, in its religious aspects
ami in the sentiments of its conductors, as they
regard the domestic institutions oi the South. —• \
Hence the propriety of omitting here much that
must otherwise have been detailed at large, res
pecting our arrangements and tiie 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 lire Institute consists of
nine months, commencing on the Ist of October,
and terminating on the last day cf June. Term
divided into tiro Sessions. of four and a half months
each. Second Seshon 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 Institurion will be open five days of the
week, miring Ihe 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 articles,
such as shoes, ice. unless an advance is made, in
deposite, for the same.
All letters to Principals must be post-paid.
We 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.
