The Hornase of Justice. We have c ompiled, 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 ot General ilar rison, long before he was named for the Presidency and in times which ought to give them weight suf ficient to bear down all the petty calumnies and quibbling objections which party malignitymay now presume 10 forgo against the war-worn and time honored potriot and soldier. The authorities we presenl against the attacks of loco foco federalism, and which we have stereotyp ed as an impregnable barricade against all opposi tion, are no less titan the Congress of the United States , the I.eglflutures of Indiana, and o [Kentucky James Madison, Jap. Monroe, Col. Richard M. John son, Anthony Wayne, Langdon Cheves, Simon *.un der, Gov. Shelly,'Coir. Perry, Col. Croghan, Col. Davis, and others, including in the illustrious cata« Jogne even Thomas Ritchie , Isaac Hill, John M. fifties and Moses Dawson ! Col. Richard M. Johnson, now V ice President of the United States, 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, 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 peftls and its hopes. Universally beloved in the walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability in the councils of his country, he had been yet more illustriously distinguished in the field. “ During the late war, he was longer in active ser vice than any oi her General officer; he was, per haps, oltcner in action than any one of 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 took 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 well as the collected firmness which distinguished their commandei on an occasion requiring the ut. most exertions of valor and discipline James Madison in his Message to Congress, No vember, 1812, said, “ An ample force from the Stales of 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 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 1813, 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 thtrlher, and, lapidly pursuing the hostile troops fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general action, which quickly terminated 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 U was pre pared. 1 ' The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen eral Harrison, in 1811, by eleven of the olficers 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 march under General Harrison with the most perfect confi dence of victory and fame.” JOEL COOK, R. B. BURTON, NATHAN ADAMS, A. HAWKINS, 11. BLRCHSTEAD, HOSEA BLOOD, JOSIA SNEELING, 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, 1S11: “ 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 of Penn sylvania, December 10,1813 “ 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 kniie ot the ruthless savage of the wilder ness, ami from the still more savage Proctor, rest on Harrison and his gallant army.” In the Legislature of Indiana, on the !2thNov. 1811, the 8 peaker of the House of Representatives, Gen. Wm. Johnston, thus addressed General Harri son. “ Sir—The House of Representatives of the In diana territory, in their own name, and in behalf of their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the congratulations of your Excellency oh the glorious result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw nee Prophet, and the tribes of 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 we fake into view the benefits which must result to that country from those exertions, we cannot, for a moment, withhold oik meed ot applause.” Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812. “ Resolved, By the Senate and House of Kepre tatives of the State of Kentucky, in ihe late cam paign against the 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 ins country and his nation. 3 Gen. Anthony Wayne, in bis 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 communica ting my orders in every direction, and by his con duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for victory.” Resolution directing ihe raadals "struck, and,Jto be together with the thanks of Congress, presented to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby, and for other purposes. Resolvefßy the Senate and House of Repre sentatives of the United States of America in Con gress assembled, That the thanks of Congress they are hereby, presented to Major Gen eral fvViliiam Henry liarrisor, 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, capturing the British army, with their hag age, camp cquippage, and artillery ; and that the President of the United States be requested to cause two gold medals to be struck, emblematic of this triumph, and be presented to General Harrison and Isaac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky. H. Cr.AY, Speaker of the House o Representatives. John Gaillard, President of the Senate, pro tempore. April 4, 1818.—Approved, James Monroe. Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814, says : “ 1 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 had proved him self to he wise, prudent and brave. 11 Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August 18, 1817, says: “ The prompt change made by you in the order of battle on discovering the position of the enemy, has always appeared to me to have evinced a high degree of military talent. I concur with the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of your conduct in that campaign.” Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle of the Thames. “ The victory of Harrison, was such as 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. 11 Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col. Croghan: ‘•1 desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon me at the expense of General Harrison. “ I have felt the warmest attachment for him as a man, and my confidence in him as an able comman der remains unshaken. I feel every assurance that he will at all times do me justice; and nothing could give me more pain tha t to see his enemies seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriendly feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he continues (as in my humble opinion he has hither to done) tom ake the wisest arrangements and the most judicious disposition, which the forces under his command will justify, I shall not hesitate to unite with tne army in bestowing upon mm tnat confidence whichheso richly merits, and which bus on n<»occasion been withheld. The Richmond Enquirer said: “(Jen Harrison’s letter tells ua everything 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.” From 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 salt.” “ In nil ages, and in all countries, it has been observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those who are the least willing to part w ith their rights, and submit themselves to the will of a master.” Wm. H. Harrison. 2Cr“THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES —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, with less compensa on for it, than any man living.” President Madison. Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in the New Hampshire Patriot said ; “ What man li\ cs, whose whole heart and sou! 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 file 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 of the late war.” In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said : “It 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, ifideed, all the events of the campaign support these char aclistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in stance, been imputable to him. “ There are perhaps on record few instances of such coo-1 and steady intrepcdity, 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, illummalions &c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the frontiers.” Ah Eloquent Record. William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on theOih 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 w ritten 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 cx 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 dians. In !809, he was re-appointed Governor of Indi ana by Madison. On the 7rh November, 1811, he gained the great victory of TIPPECANOE On the 11th September, 1812, he was appointed by Madison, Coramander-in-Chief of the North western army. On the Ist May, 1813, the seige of Fort Meigs commenced—lasted five days, and was terminated by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gch. Har rison. On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fori Ste phenson occurred. On the sth October, 1813, he gained the splendid victory of the THAMES, over the British and In dians under Proctor. In 1814, he was appointed by Madison one of the Commissioners to reat with the Indians, and in the same year, with his colleagues Gov. Shelby and Gen. Cass, concluded the celelnated treaty of Greenville. In 1815, he was again appointed such Commis sioner, with Gen. McArthur and Mr. Graham, and negotiated a treaty at Detroit. In 1816, 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 Committee, 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 of 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 identified with its interests, its perils, and its 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 linger in actual service than any other General Officer; he was, perhaps, oftner in action than any one of them, and never sustained a defeat. 11 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 hy 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 !!

Tyler is a graduate of tins 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.

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 1 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 oui 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 icsponsible 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 cr ratic genius and fanciful attainments. The former requires the symmetrical developcment of all the faculties which make up (he mental and moral constitutions, and, under no circumstances of future life, wall 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 be is to travel. They will aim at permanent results. The pow- I er and tho habit of reasoning arc worth more than any number of the results of others’ rcasonii g; — the love of knowledge and a mind well disciplined > and directed for future acquisitions, are a greater I blessing than any amount of knowledge without such guaranties for its perpetuity and increase, as a Jiving 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 endearments of home, its social sentiments and its - proprieties of li!e —for (be improvement and IHe enjoyment of (hose who may thus be removed from ! the danger of being injuriously involved in sash . ionable dissipation, or being 100 early occupied with distracting domestic cares and avocations, ll will be perceived that the new arrangement ’ leaves (he identity of the institute untouched, it will be (he same in its objects and aims—the same in its internal arrangements,in ils 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 a I ready and repeatedly been submitted to the notice of the public, and us it would seem, met their appiobatiou.
