*• the career of Gen. Harrison I need net speak
the history oft ho pst, is his history, for forty
yeafl* he has been ideniilied w ith its . merest s, its
nerds and ns hopes. Universally beloved in the
wains ol peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the eonnci s ot his country, he had been yet mote
illustriously distinguished in the field.
*• During"the late war, he was Iqngeria a. live ser
vice than any o'her General Oliver; he* was, per
haps, oftener in action than any one ol them, and
never sustained a defeat.”
James Madison, in a spev ial message to Congress
December IS, 1811, said.
“ While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have bo. n lost in the action w hich took
place on the Tib ultimo, Congress will see with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude vietor.ous
ie displayed by every deseription of troops engaged,

James Madison in his Message to t digress, No

*«An ample force from the States of Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, under the command
ot Bnaa fier General Harrison, who possesses the
entire confidence of his fellow soldiers, among
whom are citizens some ot them volunteers m the
ranks, not less distinguished by then - political sta
tions than by their pen uni merits.”
in Mr. Madison’s message of December ISI3, the
compliment was exten led, as follows :
“ J'hc success on Lake Erie having opened a pas
s,ice to ihe lerrit ry of the enemy, the officer com
trandi 12 the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thirl her, and, lapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,!orceda general

th<?B.-rish, and dispersion of the savage force.
“ This res’dt is signally honorabl to Major Gen

pared. ~
The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen

‘-(K-neral Harrison has done more (or Ins coun
try, with less compensation for if, than any man
living.*’ President Madison.
l x (Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said:
“ What man lives, whose whole heart and soul is
out British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that docs not fee!
a pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes <T
ihe West, who have treed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahawk and scalping knife ! 11 there be such an
i one, he is a traitor to the country—he jKissesses the
i spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Buren caml.date for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his life of Perry published in
1821, alter giving a general biography ot Gen Har
rison, said ;
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, amt the subsequent
capture of the British army, may ho fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events of the
late w ar.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said :
“It must be conceded that this victory reflected
arc at honor upon the national, arms , and upon the
troops by whom, it was achieved.
“ The action, and the movements which preceded
I it, afforded ample testimony o’, the judgement and
! cool intrepidity cf Gen. La risen; and, indeed,
i all the events of the campaign support those ehar
! aclislics ; the disasters attending u having, i. no in
i stance, been impotable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances of
; such cool and steady intrep titty, on the part ot
militia, or a force of this description, us was display
j ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Artel, 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
Arc. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”

can assail him, is now summoned ny 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.”

VALUABLE LANDS FOR SALE IN
GREENE COUNTY.
WE offer for sale one thousand eight hundred
acres of Land, lying in Greene county, on
Fishing creek, four miles from the Mercer Univer
sity, and tiv c from the Scull Shoals Factory. The
plantations are in good repair, and tne land well
adapted to the culture of cotton and corn, and grain
of all kinds ; and as to health, none more so in
Georgia well watered—in fact it cannot be beat
for good water and a plenty of it. Should any per -
son wish such a settlement, they will of course
look for themselves—we therefore deem it unneces
sary to say any thing farther about it. We should
be pleased to sell soon, so as to enable us to make
our other arrangements,
