('(.I. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice I resident of
the United States, said, (in Congress)—
Who if Gen. Harrison ? Jhe son ot one of me
signers of the Declaration of In Impendence, who
sfSent 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.
“ Ol the caret rof Gen. Harrison 1 need not speak
the history of the West, is hi.s history, for forty
years he has been identified with its interests, its
perils and Us hopes. Universally beloved in (no
walks ol peace, and distinguished by Ins ability in
the councils of his country, he had been Jet mote
illustriously distinguished in the field.
“ Duri. g the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than any other General officer; he was, | er
haps, oftener in action than any one ol 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 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 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 Luke Erie having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com
manding the Northwestern arras, transferred the
war thirlher, and, i apidly 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 it was pre
pared, ”
The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, by eleven of the officers w ho
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.”

Extract of a letter from Col. Davis, who was kil
led at the battle of Tippecanoe, August 24, 1811:
“ I make free to declare, that I imagined
there were two military men in the West, and Gen.
Harrison is the first of the two.”
Message of Simon Snyder, Governor cf 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 knife ot the ruthless savage of the wilder
ness, and from the still more savage Proctor, rest on
Harrison and his gallant army.”
In the Legislature of Indiana, on the 12th Nov.
1811, the Speaker 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 (he
congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet, and the tribes ot 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 our meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved, By the Senate and House of Hepre
% tativesof 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 wannest thanks
of ins 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 -.
“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 the madals “struck, and,Jto be
together with the thanks of Congress, presented
to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby,
and for other purposes.
Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the United States of America in Con
gress assembled, That the thanks of Congress
be, and they are hereby, presented to Major Gen
eral William 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
Bmishand 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 array, with their bag
age, camp equippage, and artillery ; and that the
President ot 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. Clay,
Speaker of the House o Representatives.
John Gail lard,

James Moxroe.
Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says :
“ I (eel no hesitation to declare to yon that I be
lieve Gen. Harrison to be one of the first military
characters I ever knew."
Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harnson, July
4, 1813,says:
“ We did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; hut under one [Harrison] who had proved him
self to he wise, pt udent and brave."
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817, says:
“ The prompt change made by you m 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 COHC ir 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, wqs such as would have
secured to a Roman General in the best days of the
Republic, the honors of a triumph I He put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada"
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan:
‘ I desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense ol General Harrison.
“ I nave felt the warmest attachment for him as a
man, aru. my confidence in him as an ablecomman
der remains unshaken. I feel every assurance that
he will at all times do me justice; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriendly
fee.mgs 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, | shall not hesitate to
unite with the army in oestowing upon nm that
confidence which he so richly merits, and w hich has
on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer stud:
“Gen Harmon’s letter tells ns everything that
we wish to know ahu.it ihe officers, except himself.
He dues justice to every one but Harrison- and
the world must therefore do justicei to the man who
was too modest to be just to hirn*,elf.
From Gen. Harrison’s report of the bat lie of the
Thames: , . , c
“We have suffered greatly for the want ol pro
visions, and the whole army has subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.
“ in ali ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those
who are the h ast willing to part with thorr rigjus,
and submit themselves to the will ot a master.

Lx Governor Isaac Hill, November 23,1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man li\ cs, w hose whole heart anil 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
ihe West, who have treed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahawk and scalping knife ! If there be such on
one, he is a traitor to the country —he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Buren canu date lor Gov.
in Connect ; cut, in his lite of Perry published in
1321, after giving a general biography ot Gen- Har
rison, said ;
“The defence of Fort Meigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British army, may he fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events of the
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said :
“ll 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 ol the judgement and
cool intrepidity cf (fen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these cliar
aclistics ; the disasters aitentliug it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“Thereare peihaps on record few instances ol
such cool and steady intrepidity, on the port 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 ihe
frontiers.”
An Eloquent Ilecord.
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 1702, be was promoted to the rank of Lieu
tenant: and in 1793, joined the legion under Gen.
Wayne,and in a tew days thereafter, was selected
by him as one of his Aids.
On the 24thof August, 1794, ho 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 \S ashington.
In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams,
Secretary of the North-western Territory and cx
officio Lt. Governor
" In 17‘JS, he was chosen a delegate to Congre.-s.
In 1801, he was appointed Governor of Indiana,
and in the same year, President Jeffer>on appointed
him sole Commissioner for treating with the In
dians.
In 1809, ha was re-appointed Governor of Indi
ana by Madison.
On theTih November, 1811, lie gained the great
victory of TIPPECANOE
On the 11th September, IS 12, he was appointed
by Madison, Coramander-in-Chief of the North
western army.
On the Ist May, 1313, the seige ot Fort Meigs
commenced—lasted five days, and was terminated
by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gen. Har
rison.
On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste
phenson occurred.
On the sth October, 1813, he gained the splendid
victory of the THAMES, over the Briiish and In
dians under Proctor.
In 1814, he was as pointed by Madison one of
the Commissioners to real with the Indians, and
in the same year, with his colleagues Gov. Shelby
and Gen. Cass, concluded the celeb.alod 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, 1313, he introduced a resolution in
honor jf Kosciusko, and supported it in one of the
most feeling, classical and eloquent speeches, ever
dehvered in tlie House of Representatives.
( In 1819, he was elected a member of the Ohio
Senate
In 1824, he was elected -onator 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 w hilst a member
of that body -.
“Os the career of Gen. Harnson, 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 ns hopes. Universally beloved in
the w alks of peace, and distinguished by his ability
in the councils of his country, he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished in ihe field. During the
late war, he was linger in actual service than any
other General Officer ; he was, perhaps, Miner in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
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 the councils of the nation, “and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !!

■‘tcvl v/ subscriber, on the 29tli ult., a likely
negro boy named Scott, IS or 19 years old, 5 feet
10 inches nigh, rather light complexion, looks very
pleasing when spoken to, very intelligent,and re
markably polite in his deportment, spare made and
streight. He took with him, from me,about SIOO
in money, $25 of which was American gold, the
balance in bills of the Planters’ and Mechanics’
Bank of Columbus. Also, a line gold watch and
chain with square links. lam inclined to believe
he has been seduced away by some white man, as
he has hitherto been trust worthy and honest as far
as I have known.
He was raised in Charlotte, N. C., and may
possibly endeavor to get back, but will more pro
bably endeavor to get to a free State, either by
way of Apalachicola or through the up countiy, as
he has been heard to express a desire to get to
Ohio or Philadelphia.
I will give the above reward of lour hundred
dollars, for the apprehension of the boy and thief,
and their delivery to me, with sufficient evidence
to convict them, or S2OO lor the boy and the watch,
or $l5O for the boy alone, ora proportionate reward
for his confinement in jail, and information so that
I get him. WM. D. LUCAS.

Amherst College, Sept. 1(5, 1539.”
“Amherst College, Sept. 20, ISoJ.
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
whiclfhe is an alumnus,and afterwards as a r, 'utor
in the College, and since as a licensed preaciier
resident in this place ; and I take great pleasure
in recommending him to the public confidence as a
Christian anti 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 ot the New
York University.
The Principals of the Institute, in the discharge
of the highly responsible 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 . r
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 hls 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’ rcasonii 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
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 tiic 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 two 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 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, during tire hours of recitation, from G 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, &c. unless an advance is made, in
deposife, 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.
