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.” JOEL COOK, R. B. BURTON, NATHAN ADAMS, A. HAWKINS, H. BURCHSTEAD, 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, 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, President of the Senate, pro tempore. April 4, 1818.—Approved, 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. Wm. H Harrison. SfCr “THE PEOPLE OF THE U.

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 !!

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.
