The son of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, who spent 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 bis country. _ , , u (jfihg career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak - the history oftbe West, is his history. For forty years he has been identified with its interests, its perils and us hopes. Universally beloved in the walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability in the councils of bis country, be had been yet more illustriously disiingu'shed in the field. “ During the late war, he was longer in active ser vice tnan any o'her General officer; he was, per haps, oftenerin action than any one ol them, and never sustained a defeat. James Madison, in a special message to Congress December 18, IB 11, said, u 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- Is fact ion the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious ly displayed by every description of troops engaged, )gg J&11 as the collected firmness who h distinguished their cnmmandei on an occasion requiring the nt. most exertions of valor and discipline " James Madison in Ids Message to Congress, No vember, 1812,said, “ All ample force from the Slates 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 Lake Erie having opened a pas sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com manding the Northwestern arms, transferred the war thirl her, and, i apidly pursuing the hostile troops fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general action, which quickly terminal d in the capture of the British, and dispersion of the stivage 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, b) 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.” JOEL COOK, R. B. BURTON, NATHAN ADAMS, A. HAWKINS, H. BURCHSTEAD, HOSEA BLOOD, JOSIA SN EE LING, O. G. BURTON, C. FULLER, G GOODING, J. D. FOSTER. Extract of a letter from Col. Davis, who was kil led at the haltleof Tippecanoe, August 24, 1811: “ I make free to declare, that I have imagined there were two military men in the West, and Gen. Harrison is the first of the two Message of Simon Snyder, Governor of Penn sylvania, December 10, 1813 “Already is the brow of the young w-arrior, 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. 1311, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Gen. Wrn. 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 the 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 we 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 oik meed ol applause.” legislature of Kentucky , January 7, 1812. “ Resolved , By the Senate and House ol Repre tativesofthe Stateof Kentucky, in ihs late cam paign against the Indians upon the Wabash, Gi 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 his country and his nation. Gen. Anthony Watne, 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 esseotiai service, by comrounica ting my orders in every direction, and by bis con duct and bravery, exciung the troop* to press for victory,” Resolution directing the madala struck,a he together w ith the thanks of Congress, presented to Major Gene-a.

The Richmond Enquirer said : “Gen Harrison’s letter tells us everything that we wish to know about the officers, except himself. He docs justice to every one but Harrison —and the world must therefore dojusliceto the man who was too modest to be just to himself.” From Gen. 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 last three days, on raw bekf without sai.t.” 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 to the will of a master. Wm. H Harrison. {Fj - “THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES May they ever remember that to preserve their liberties, they must do their own voting and their own fighting M H. Harrison. ' “ General Harrison has done more lor bis coun try with less compensation for it, than any man living.” President Madison. Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in the New Hampshire Patriot said ; “ What man In es, whose whole heart and soul is pot 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 hemes of (he 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 to the country—he possesses the spirit of a murderer.” John M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov. in Connecticut, in his file of Perry published in 1821, after giving a general biography of Gen- Har rison, *iaid : “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.” In alluding to the haltleof 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 of Gen. Harrison; and, indeed, ail the events of the campaign support these char aciistics ; the disasters ai tending it having, in no in stance, been imputable to him. “ There are perhaps on record few instances of 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 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 the frontiers.” An Eloquent Record. William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on the9ih of February, 1773. 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 lew days thereafter, was selected by him as one of his Aids. On the 24th of August, 1794, he distinguished himself in the battle ol 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, Commamler-in-Chief of the North western army. On the Ist May, 1813, the seige of Fort Meigs commenced—lasted five day’s, and was terminated by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gea. Har rison. On the 31st July, 3813, 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 colleagues Gov. Shelby and Gen. Cass, concluded the celebrated 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, 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 Representalives. in 1819, he was elected a member of the Ohio Senate In 1824, he was elected Senator in Congress, and w as appointed, in 1825, Chairman of the Mili tary Committee,in place of Gea. Jackson, who had resigned In 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia, and, in 1829, wrote his immortal letter to Bolivar j the deliverer of South America. Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke i in the House of Representatives w hilst a member j of that body ; “Os the career of Gen. Harrtson, I need not speak—the history of the west is his history For forty years he has been identified w ith its interests, its perils, and us hopes. Universally beloved in j the walks of peace,and distinguished by his ability in the councils of Ins country,he has been yet more 1 illustriously distinguished in the field. During the late war, tie was lunger in actual service than any other General Officer; he was, perhaps, eftner in ao on 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 *■ > f i iofty eminence where neither malice or envy r -I'l a<iwu! him, is now summoned by his grateful cry non to l< ave the quiet walks of private life g ' oooeils of the nation, “and deliver • f 00 r, ry from the dangers which encompass it.” Hr. wm UK HER DELIVERER ! - 11 - b. a s99i f/eor-rw, Columbia county .

The proprietor has received at. least a thousand cert fi cales and other documents in favor of his SPECI FIC OINTMENT—and they embrace almost all the complaints in their worst stages—to which ointment or sticking plaster can be applied Among these certificates, there are a great number Irom the most eminent physicians in the country, who use the Ointment in their daily practice, in preference to any, or ail others which have ever been invented. The proprietor has also received « great many tes timonials Irom farriers, military gentlemen, farmers, and others, relative to the amazing efficacy of his Ointment, in the bruises, cuts, and all the external complaints and diseases of horses; and among them are no less than a dozen certifying to the most per fect cures which it has performed ou the sore backs of some of those animats. Altogether the proprietor feels no hesitation in staling—or in put ting it to the proof against ail composition—that HARRISON’S SPECIFIC OINTMENT is vastly superior to every thing of the kind which has here tofore been offered to the public; and the proprietor not only vouches for its general good qualities, but is willing to risk his reputation on a single trial , for he knows from the mos ample experience, that it cannot be used witiiout immediate and palpable benefit, in any one of the complaints for which it is so highly recommended.

There are three hundred and fifty actes ot it cleared, the balance in woods, consisting of oak, hickory, poplar and warhoo. — The cleared land is under a good fence. Its pro 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 w - ater scattered throughout the premises. There is also on the premises, one of the best sites for a mill or mills or 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 be needless for me to give any farther description of tne 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 State.)

WE perceive by the papers that the famous French physician, Dr. Magnin, has eslah lished an agency for the sale of the above named extraordinary medicine in this city ; and■ to «P«k the truth, we are sorry for it, as we think that there are too many people in this part of the world al ready. We dare not enter into an explanation oi the wonders effected by this medicine here, but will nevertheless venture to add, that it is the royal ist thing in the world for gentlemen and ladies who are husbands and wives, and who wish to he fathers and mothers. The agent should take this medicines t.t the far west, w ; here people aie scarce, — N. York Examiner. “ The Lucine Cordial ” is a general invigorator of the human frame in all the various cases of lan guor, lassitude, and debilitation, and is at the same time so simple, yet so efficacious, that vvhile it can renovate the prostrated energies of a giant, an in fant may use it, not only with impunity, but with advantage. The Lucine Uordial is also an indu bitable cure for the incontinence of the urine, or the involuntary discharge thereof. It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled medicine in cases of chronic eruptions of the skin, and in the dropsical affections of the aged. This celebrated and inesti mable Cordial is for sale by HAVILAND, RISLEY & CO. THOMAS BARRETT & CO. NELSON CARTER, aug 20 Augusta, Ga. VALIER’S CELEBRATED FRENCH PILLS.

The FRENCH PILLS are applicable in all cases for eithei sex, (warranted free trom mercu ry) and do not affect the breath in the least, and are perfectly pleasant and agreeable to the stomach, and have never failed to make a speedy and per manent cure, without the least regard to diet or application to business. In long, protracted, or chronic stages of the disease, obslinate Gleets, Fluor Albus, Gravel, Female Comp'aints, or a weakness of those organs, they are beyond a doubt the most effectual remedy ever discovered, having cured many obstinate cases after every other medicine had failed. The French Pills have been so univer sally successful, that the proprietor challenges any one to produce a remedy of equal certainly under a forfeiture of Three Hundred Dollars. Price $2 per box.

IPHE unprecedented popularity of this benefi- JL cent and inestimable CORDIA Lin the Hnited 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 which, in reality, produce no other effect than that of swindling the public; and to give a yet more plausible appearance of the r cu pidity, those persons affect that their wretche i nos trums have been in use in England and elsewhere lor a number of years; whereas, until the illustrious Dr. Magnin made his wonderful discovery, no cure for barrenness had been ever thought of, or at least made public ; and all those then in use for the restoration of the decayed virile powers were found to be of but little avail. Thus, all nostrums adver tised for barrenness or the cure of impotency, but Dr. Magnin’s, are mere catchpenny humbugs, which would never have been thought of out lor the appearance and great celebrity of the LUCINA CORDIAL. As no counterfeit of the name is at present in circulation, it may in general be a suffi cient caution for the purchaser to ask for the Lucina Cordial, but as further assurance, it would be as well to note that its name, Lucina Cordial, or Elixir 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 the stores of those who have the genuine article for sale. The celebrity of the Lucina Cordial being such as it is, it is scarcely necessary to add that it is the only efficient remedy for barrenness, and the resto ration of decayed virile powers ever known ; and that in the cure of Fluor Albus, Gleet, obstructed, difficult or painful Menstruation, the incontnfffice of the urine, or the involuntary discharge thereof, Us superiority over every other medicine is not on ly decided, but unquestionable.
