Harrison I need not speak - the history oft he West, is his history, *or forty years he has been identified with its interests, its perils and i.s hopes Universally beloved in the Talks ol peace, and distinguished by h.s ability in the councils ol 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 other General officer; he was, per haps, oltenerin action than any one ol them, ana 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 Uve 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, as well as the collected firmness which distinguished their commandei on an occasion requiring the ut most exertions of vefor and discipline .” James Madison in his .Message to Congress. No vember, 1812,said, ** An ample force from ilie Slates 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 o ’ December 1813, the compliment was extended, os follows : 41 The success on Luke Erie having opened a pas sage to the territory ol the enemy, the officer com manding the North west ein arms, transferred the war thirther,and, lapidly pursuing the hostile troops fleeing with thei: savage associates,forced a general action, which quickly terminated in the capture of the British, ana dispersion of the savage force. 44 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, b} 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 march under General Harrison with the most perfect confi dence of victory and fame.” JOEL COOK, R.

Harrison is the first of the two ” Message ol Simon Snyder, Governor of Penn sylvania, December 10, 1813 44 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 bis gallc it army.” In the Legisla.ure of Indiana, on the 12th Nov. 1811, the 8 peaker of the House of Representatives, Geu. Wm Johnston, thus addressed General Harri son. “ Sir—The House (d Representatives of the 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 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 take into view the benefits which must result to that country from those exertions, we cannot, for a moment, withhold oik meed of applause.” Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812. 44 Resolved, Ry the Senate and House of Hepre tativesof the State of Kentucky, in the late cam paign against the Indians upon the Wabash, Gov. VVifliam 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 country and his nation. Gen. Anthony Wavne, in his Letter to the Secre tary of War, giving an official account of his san guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said ; 44 My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison rendered the most essential service, by communica ling my orders in every direction, and by his con duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for victory."

Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814, says ; 44 1 leel no hesitation to declare to you that I be lieve Gen. Harrison to be one of the first military characters 1 ever knew.” Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July 4, 1813, savs : 44 VfV dia not want to serve under cowards or trai tors ; hut under one [Hamsun] who had proved him self to be wise, prudent and brave.” Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August 18, 1817, says: 44 The prompt change made by yon in the order of battle on discovering the position of the enemy, has always appeared to me to have evinced a high DEGREE OF MILITARV TALENT. I COOC ir with the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of your conduct in that campaign.” Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle of the Thames. 9 “ The victory of Harrison , was such as would have secured to a Roman Gtneral in the best days of the Republic, the honors oj a triumph ! He put an end to the War in the Cppt'rmost Canada.” Sentiments of »he Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col. Croghan: 1 desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon me at the expense ot General Harrison. 44 1 have kit 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 limes do me justice; and nothing could give me more pain than to see bis enemies seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriendly feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he continues (as in ray 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 the army in bestowing upon nim that ccOevt TT 4 * 1 *" d " luch h “ on no occasion been withheld.

Ex'Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in the New Hampshire Patriot said : ... 44 What man lives, whose whole heart and sou! is not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in Ihe la(e victories of Ferry and Harrison, that does not feel a pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes of llie West, who have freed a country large as the Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian tomahawk and sca'pmg knife ! If fhere 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 lile of Perry published ia 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 : 44 /’ must be conceded that this victory reflected great honor upon ihe national arms , and upon ihe troops by whom it was achieved. 44 The action, and the movements which preceded it, afforded ample testimony ol the iudgemenl and cool intrepidity cf Gen. Harrison; and, indeed, all the events of the campaign support these char actistics : the disasters attending it having, in no in stance, been imputable to him. 44 There are perhaps on record few instances ot such cool and steady intrepedity, on the part of militia, or a force of this description, as was display ed on this occasion. 44 Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Artel, and arrived at Erie on the 22d of October. Here they were received with every demonstration ol 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 the9ih of February, 1773. In 1791, when 19 years of age, he was appointed by Washington an Ensign in our infant army. Jn 1792, he was promoted lo 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 7th November, 1811, he gained the great victory of TIPPECANOE On the 111 h September, 1812, he was appointed by Madison, Commander-iu-Chief of the North western army. On the Is. May, 1813, the seige of Fort Meigs commenced—lasted five days, and was terminated by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gen. Har rison. On the 31st Ju'y, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste phenson occurred. On the sth October, 1813, he gamed the splendid victory ol 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.

In 1816, he was elected a member of Congress. In Janaary, 1818, be introduced a resolution in honor of Kosciusko, and supported it in one oft he 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,iu place of Gen. Jackson, who had resigned. In 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia, and, in 1829, wrote bis immortal letter to Bolivar the deliverer of South America. Os him Co'. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke in the House ol Representatives whilst a member ol that body : 44 Os the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not speak—the history of the west is bis 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 bis ability in the councils of Ins country,be has been yelraore illustriously distinguished in the field. During the late war. lie was linger in actual service than any other General Officer; he was, perhaps, aimer m action than any one ot them, and never sustained a deject.” Such is the roan, 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 the councils of the nation, 44 and deliver the country from the dangers which encompass it.” He will be her deliverer !!

Tyler, having known him as a member of this College, of whiclThe is an alumnus,and afterwards as a Tutor in the College, and since a? 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 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. Yales 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 symmetrical devclopcment of ail 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, wiio should receive for his guidance a map of a different country from that in which lie is to travel. They will aim at permanent results. The pow er and the habit of reasoning arc worth more than any number of the results of others’ rcasonii g; — the love of knowledge anil 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 oi 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 life—for the improvement and the enjoyment of those who may thus be removed from thedangerof being injuriously involved in fash ionable dissipation, or being 100 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 ill 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 £u-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. ll is every way desirable that pupils should enter at the commencement of the Terra ; they will, however, be received al any period ®f the Term, and charged only for the unexpired portion of the Term.
