Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of In lependence, who
spenl ihe greater part of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, of his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor/’ lo secure the liberties of hia
country. . ,
“ Oflhe career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
- the history ofthe West, is his history. For forty
vears he has been identified with its in,erests, its
perils and Us hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils of his country, he had been yet moie
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, oflener in action than any one ot them, and
never sustained a defeat.
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December IS, 1811, said,
u While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost in the action which look
place on the 7lh ultimo, Congress w ill see with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
as mil a* the collected firmness which distinguished
their commando on an occasion requiring the ut.
most exertions of valor and discipline.’
James Madison in bis 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 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 n ''fits.’'
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
manding the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war lliirther,and,iapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with then savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminal'd in the capture of
the British, and dispersion of the savage force.
“ This result is siynally honorable to Major Gen
eral Harrison, by whose military talents it was pre
pared."
The following tribute of praise vyas paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, bj 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.”

“ Already is the brow of ihe young warrior, Cro
ghan,encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
thousands of women and . hildren rescued from the
scalping knife of the rmhless savage of the wilder
ness, and from ihe still more savage Proclor, rest on

In the Legislai ure of Indiana, on the 12th Nov.

son.
“ Sir—The House of Representatives of the In

their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the
congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
result ofthe late sanguinary conflict with the Sha

with him; when wo see displayed in behalf of
our country, no only the consummate abilities of
the general, but I he 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.”

Gen. Anthony Way tie, in his Letter to the Secre

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says ;
“ 1 feel 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:
“ We did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but tinier one [ Harrison] who had proved him
self to be wise, prudent and brave.”
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
13, 1817, says:
“ The prompt changeraade by you in the order of
battle on discovering the position ut 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.
“ I fl f victory of Harrison, was such as would have
secured to a Roman General in the best days of the

The Richmond Enquirer said :
Hamsun's luitpr tells us every thing thflt
we wish to know about the officers, except himself
He docs justice to every one but Harmon—and
the world must therefore dojustice to the man who
was too modest to be just to himself.”
/rom (Jen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the
Thames :
“We have suffered greatly for the want of pro
visions, and the whole army has subsisted, for the
lasi three days, on haw beef without salt.
“ In all ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators oflhe soil are those
who are the least willing lo part with their righis,
and submit themselves to the will of a master.
Wm. H Harrison.

May they ever remember that lo preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting A “- H. Harrison.
“General Harrison has done more for his coun
try with less compensation for it, than any man
living ” President Madison.
Ex" Governor Isaac Hill, November 23,1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriol said :
“ What man Incs, whose w hole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in ihe 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 couniry large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahawk and scalping knife ! If there be such on
one, lie is a traitor to the country—he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Duren candidate (or v*o\ .
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, and the subsequent
capture of the British army, may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events of the
late war.”
fn 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 ol the judgement and
cool intrepidity of Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
ail the events of the campaign support these char
aclislics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable lo him.
“ There are perhaps on record fe v instances of
such cool and steady intrepidity, 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 ol joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. 'They were hailed as the deliverers ot the
frontiers.”

“Os die career of Gen. Harrison, I need not

forty years he inis been identified with its interests,
its perils, and us hopes. Universally beloved in
i tiie walks ol peace,and distinguished by his abilily
i in t lie courciis of Ins country, he lias been yet more
I illustriously distinguished in ihe field. During the
| late war, he was Unger in actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, ofmer in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
Buch is the man, who, siill 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 grateful
countrymen lo leave the quiet walks of private life
lo guide the councils of the nation, “and deliver
the couniry from the dangers which encompass it ”
He will be her deliverer !

duction cannot be surpassed by any lands in the
up country. The improvements consist of a con
venient and comfortable Dwelling, besides Gin
House, Screw, all new, and all other houses neces
sary for a country residence and farm. The dwell
ing is located on an elevated situation, and re
markably healthy, with springs of the purest water
scattered throughout the premises, ’there is also
on the premises, one of the best sites for a mill or
mills oi factory there is in the up country, and its
contiguity to the river will make it more valuable.
As the purchaser would wish to examine the pre
mises previous to making the purchase, it would

of me premises.
I also offer a tract of land containing 5 or 600
acres, in South Carolina, in Edgefield district, im
mediately on the Cambridge road, (one of the most
public roads in the Slate.) The place is known as
a part of the Martintown tract, and would make a
valuable stand for a store or public house.

PERHAPS mere is nothing mo”? calculated to
disgust 11 iu* public eye than the innumerable
advertisements of nostrums that are constantly ap*

every day’s reports ol ills and specifics. T’Kis state
ot 1 he public mind would seem to forbid any pi rf'- 111
of delicate mind front sending forth any new dis

Still, nioitves of delicacy should not prevent us from
making known real discoveries, which we are wit
fident will benefit our fellow men. This iaiter
consideration has prompted ihe author of these bit
ters to make them known. He knows they are lug t

friends, have given them athorough trial. Hcwa»
hintseif a confirmed dyspeptic, so much, that even

he has been restored to health. Mrs. Cosby was
troubled for many years,but was restored to head 1
by the use of these bitters. This has been
with many of his frii nds. Mr. Cosby in sending
forth this advertisement, addresses those who know
him. He has been for many years a resident <•
