Harrison I need not speak the history oft he West, is his history, for forty years he has been identified with its interests, its perils and its hopes. walks c! 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 o'her General officer; he was, per haps, oftener in action than any one ol them, and never sustained a defeat.” James Madison, in a special message to Congress December 18, 181 i, said, a While it ts deeply lamented that so many valu able lives have been lost in the action w hich took place on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see w ith sat isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious ly displayed by every description of troops engaged, us well as the collected firmness which distinguished their commandci on an occasion requiring the uC most exertions of valor and discipline. Janies Madison in his Message to Congress. No vemher, 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 w hom are citizens some of them volunteers in the ranks, not less distinguished by their political sta- Vions than by their personal merits.” In Mr. Madison’s message of December Ibid, 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 nuadiag the Northwestern arms, transferred the war thirl her, and, i apidly pursuing Hie hostile troops fleeing with thci: savage associates,forced a genets! action, which quickly terminated in the capture id 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 who lought 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 wiih live most pertect confi dence of victory and fame.” JOEL COOK, R.

Johnson to Gen. Harrison, Jnly 4, 1813,says : “ We did not want to serve under cowards or trai tors ; but under one [ Harrison] who hud proved him self to he wise, prudent and brave." Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August 18, 1817,says: “ The prompt change made by you in the order of battleoti discovering the position ol the enemy, has always apjieared to me to have evinced a high DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT, i COIIC ir with the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of your conduct in that campaign.” Honorable Lungdon Cheves, on the battle of the Thames. “ The victory of Harrison, was such as would have secured to a Unman General in the best days of the Republic, the honors of a triumph !

Harrison s report of the battle of the Thames: r “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 all ages, and in all countries, it has been observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those who are the least willing to part with their rights, and submit themselves Ce the will ot a master.

STATES —May they ever remember that to preserve their liberties, they must do their own votmgandtheir own fighting A M 11 Harrison “General Harrison has done more for his coun try with less com|ieiisation for it, than any man hviuc.” President Madison. Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November U 3, 1813, in the New Hampshire Patriot said: , “ What man lb os, whose whole heart and 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 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 lo the country —he possesses the spirit of a murderer.” John 31. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov. in Connecticut, in his lite of Perry published in 1821, after giving a general biography of Gen- Har rison, said ; “ The defence of Fort Meigs, ana 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 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. “ There are perhaps on record few instances such cool and steady intrepedity, 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 ol 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 the frontiers.” An Eloquent Record. William Henry Harrison was bom 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 1792, he was promoted to the rank of Lieu tenant: and in 1793, joined the legion under Gen.

Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke in the House ot Representatives whilst a member ot that body : “Os the career of Gen. Harrison, 1 need not speak—the history of the west is his history For forty j ears he has been identified with its interests, its perils, and ns fiojies. Universally beloved in the walks ol peace,and distinguished by his ability ] in the councils ol his country, he has been yet more illustriously distinguished in the field. During the ! late war, he was Unger in actual service than any other General Officer ; he was, perhaps, eftner in action than any one of t hem, and never sustained a defeat." Buch 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 ny his gratetul 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.Piske, 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 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 er ratic genius and fancifui attainments. The former requires the symmetrical develop* ment ot 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 his guidance a map of a dilferent country from that in which l.e 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 ot 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 witiiout 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 lite —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 it? 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 thorn—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 two Sessions.oi 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 Institution will be open five days of the week, during the hours of recitation, from 6 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 deposite, 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.
