Col Richard M. Johnson, now V ice President of
the United States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one ot the
Boners of the Declaration of In lependence, who
spent the greater part of his large fortune in redeem
ing the phtdge he then gave, ot hi« fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties ol his
C 0“ OfVhe 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
herds and Us hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils ol ’hi- country, he had been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than an V o'her General officer; he was, per
haps, oltener in action than any one ul them, and
never sustained a defeat.”
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, 1311, said,
“ While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost in the action which took
place on the 7ih ultimo, Congress will see w ith sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
as veil as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commando on an occasion requiring the at
most exertions of valor and discipline.
James Madison in his Message to Congress. No
vember, 1812, said, r ,
“ An ample force from the States ol Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, re 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
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
man ding tlie North western arms, transferred the
war thirther, 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.
i ‘ 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, bj eleven of the officers w ho
fought under his banner at Die 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.”

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 12lhNov.
® 1811, the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Gen. Win. 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 Ihe
congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
result ofthe 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, foi a
moment, withhold oik meed of applause.”
legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved, By the Senate and House ot Keprc
tativesof the Slate of Kentucky, in the late cam
paign against tlie 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 lus country and his nation.
Gen. Anthony Wajne, inhis Letter to the Secre
tary of War, giving an official account ol 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 rnadals 'struck, and,Jto he
together w ith the thanks of Congress, presented
to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby,
and for ot her purposes.
Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre

gress assembled, That the thanks of Congress
I*>, and they are hereby, presented to Major Gen
eral William Henry Harrisor, 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 fort es 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 equippage, and artillery ; and that the
President of the United Slates be requested to cause
two gold medals to be struck, emblematic of this

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
ssys :
“ 1 led no hesitation to declare to you that I be
lieve Gen. Harrison to be one of the first military
characters I ever knew."
Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813, says:
“ IVe did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [ Harrison ] who had proved him
self to be wise, pi udent and brave."
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817, says:
“ The prompt change made by you in the order of
battleon discovering the position of the enemy, lias
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
degree of military talent. 1 cone tr wifi
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Laugdon Cheves, on the battle of the
Thames.
** The victory of Harrison, was such us would have
secured to a Roman Gtneral in the best days of the
Republic , the honors of a triumph ! He put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canaila."
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan :
*• 1 desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
“ 1 have felt the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. 1 feel every assurance that
lie will at all limes do me justice ; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long ns he
continues (as in my humble opinion lie has hither
to done) torn ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
his command will justify, 1 shall not hesitate to
unite with the array in bestowing upon nun tnat
confidence urhichheso richly wits, and which bas
on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said :
“Gen Harrison’s letter tells us everything that
• we vvSh to know about the officers, except himself.
Hr does justice to every one but Harrison— and
r th'' world must therefore dojnstice to the man who
w as too modest to be just to himself.

i Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
, “ What man In cs, whose whole
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the at
victories of Perry and Harrison, that .fees not feel
n pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes of
ihe West who have freed a country large as
topiffof Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahawk and scalping knife ! If t here be such an
one, he is a traitor to the country—he possesses th e
S^Joim m!*N fete Van Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his hte of Perry published m
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 ol the
lat ]Valluding to the battle of she Thames, he said :
“If must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, and upon t ie
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, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
aclislics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances ot
such cool 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, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers ol the
frontiers.”
An Eloquent Record.
William Henry Harrison was bom in Virginia on
the 9th of February, 157 3.
In 1791, w hen 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 few 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 written 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 ex
officio Lt. Governor.
“ In 1798, 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 1809, he was re-appointed Governor of Indi
ana by Madison.
On the 7th 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, arid was terminated
by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gca. Har
rison.
On the 31sl July, 1813, the battle of Fort 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 colleague* Gov. Shelby
and Gon. Cass, concluded the celebrated treaty of
Greenville.
In 1815, lie was again appointed such Commis
sioner, with Gtn. 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 ISouth America.
Os him Col. Johnson (Vico President) thus spoke
in the House of 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 years he has been idemified w ith its interests,
its perils, and ns hopes. Universally beloved in
the w alks of peace, and distinguished by his ability
in the councils of Ins country, he has been yet m ire
illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
late war, he was Huger in actual service than any
ol her General Officer; he was, perhaps, aftner m
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
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 by his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of tlie naiion, “ and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !

the truth, we are sorry for it, as we think that there
are too many people in this part ot the world al

will nevertheless venture to aihl* that it is the royal

THE JLUCINA CORDIAL—BEWARE 1
OF FRAUD.
THE unprecedented popularity of this benefi
cent and inestimable CORDIA L in the United
States, has induced one or more unprincipled per
sons to manufacture spurious catchpenny articles ,
under various names , and purporting to produce the
same effect; but winch, in reality, produce no other '
effect than that of swindling the public; and to
give a yet more plausible appearance of the r cu- 1
prdily, those persons affect that their wretchu i nos- s
trums have been in use in England and elsewhere 1
lor a number of years; whereas, until the illustrious t
Dr. Magnin made his wonderful discovery', no cure
for barret.ness had been ever thought of, or at least t
made public; and all those then in use for the
restoration of the decayed virile powers were found I
to be of but little avail. Thus, all nostrums adver
tised for barrenness or the cure of impotency, hut
Dr. Magnin’s, are mere catchpenny humbugs, f
which would never have been thought of nut lor
the appearance and great celebrity of the LUCINA s
CORDIAL. As no counterfeit of the name is at t
present in circulaiion, it may in general be a suffi- s
cient caution for the purchaser to ask for the Lucina \
Cordial, but as further assurance, it would he as
well to note that its name, Lucina Cordial, or Elixir t
of Love, is stamped in the glass of each bottle—the
combined arms of France and the United States (
are on the outward envelope—that a Fleur de Lis
is printed on the accompanying directions, and
beautifully embossed on the show-bills hanging in j
the stores of those who have the genuine article
for sale.
The celebrity of the Lucina Cordial being such s
as it is, it is scarcely necessary to add that it is the t
only efficient remedy for barrenness, and the reslo- s
ration of decayed virile powers ever known ; and
that in the cure of Fluor Albus, Gleet, obstructed,
difficult or painful Menstruation, the incontinence ,
of the urine, or the involuntary discharge thereof,
its superiority over every other medicine is not on
ly decided, but unquestionable. For sale by

Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us Irom
making known real discoveries, which wc are con ;

consideration has prompted the author of these bit
ters to make t hem known. He knows they are high

friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was
himself a confirmed dyspeptic,so much, that even
his recollection was gone. By using these bitters
he has been restored to health. -Mr.®. Cosby w®*
troubled for many- years,but was restored to bea lb
by the use of these bitters. This has been thecase
with many of his frit nds. Mr. Cosby in sending
forth this advertisement, addresses those who know
him. He has been for many years a resident o

toms of which are indigestion, pain or oppression ,
