Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Sic henson.Col.
Croghan:
*• i desire no plaudits which are be towed upon
me at the expense of General Harrisoi
“ 1 have fi It the warmest attachmei for him as a
man, and ray confidence in him as an ble comman
der remains unshaken. I feel every -• isiirance that
he wall at all times do me justice ; and nothing
could give me more pain than to se his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out ll: ir unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; am so long ns he
continues (as in my humble opinion e has hither
to done) tom ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the torces under
his command will justify, I shall i it hesitate to
unite with tne array in bestowing u] >n (mm that
, confidence which he so mhlymnlt, and which has
on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmoml Enquirer said;
“G en Harrison’s ietier tells us every thing that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself
He does justice to every one but Harrison— and
lie world must therefore dojustice to tne man who
w as too modest to be just to himself.
! From Gen. 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 subsiste , lor the
last three days, on raw reef without salt.
j“ 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 ng iis,
and submit themselves to the will of a master.

“General Hamson has dons more fur his coun
try with less compensation for it, than any man
living.” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac, fill I, November 23,1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man li' cs, whose whole heart and sou! is
pot British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that dors not feel
a pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes of
i he West, who have freed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from ihe 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.”
Joim M. Niles, late Van Buren cand date for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his lile of Perry published in
I*2l, niter giving a general biography of Gen. liar
rison, said :
1 “ The defence of Fort Meigs, nnd the subsequent
capture of the British army, may be fairly consider
ed the must brilliant and extraordinary events as Ibe
late war.” „ , ,
in alluding to the battle of the Thames, be said ;
“It must be conceded that this victory reflected |
great honor upon the national arms, and upon tne
troops by u hom it u>as 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, m no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances ol
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 Hen; the}'
were received with every demonstration of joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. ’They were hailetf as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”

In 1814, he was as pointed by Madison one of

i forty years he has been identified with its interests,
j its penis, and Hs hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks of peace,and distinguished by bis ability
in the councils of his country,he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
lale war, he was Unger in actual service than any
other General Officer ; he was, perhaps, wftner in
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
j to guide the councils of tlie nation, “and deliver
the country from ihe dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !’

of age, dark skin, high cheek bones, rath
er small e>es, stoops a little, about 5 feet 10 inches
high, legs a little inclined to bow, and feet turn a
little out, and would weigh perhaps 150 lbs., broad
shoulders and very strong, a Cooper by trade; was
severely whipped about six months since, and
probably retains the marks on his shoulders and
thighs, has a downcast look, is very humble to ap
pearance in disposition, speaks rather low, and can
read tolerable well. Had on when he left, I think,
a blue broadcloth coat, second hand, and a white
hat of an inferior quality, and black pantaloons;
while at work, is very intent and labors very
hard —was purchased about 10 years since, from
a Mr. Williams, of Wilmington, North Carolina.

•ax RANAW AY from the subscriber, li\ ing
in Morgan county, near Park’s Bridge, on
the Oconee river, my negro man Nelson,
. about twenty five years of age, six feet
high, well proportioned, a lit tic yellow, of a good
countenance, high forehead, his upper eye teeth
decayed, which is easily perceived when he talks
or smiles, and has little to say unless spoken to. —
He left my premises on the 9th of August, and
wore off a pair of homespun nankeen pantaloons,
and took off with him a pair of blue Kentucky
jeans, and a cloth cap. Nelson is a tolerable black
smith, and fond of gambling, and is sure, if taken
up, to deny his name and his owner’s name, as he
has runaway twice before. Once I got him out of
Augusta jail, and once from Charleston, S. C. I
purchased him from Benj. Davis in Hamburg. —
Any information will be thankfully received, and
the above reward will be paid for his lodgment in
any jail so that 1 get him.

consequently we can warrant our Castings not only
to work well, but be as strong and as well made as
any manufactured at the North or elsewhere, and
we challenge comparison.
We also manufacture to order any kind of

the complaints in their worst stages —to which

these certificates, there are a great number from the
most eminent physicians in the country, who use
the Ointment in their daily practice, in preference
to any, or all others which haveever been invented.
The proprietor has also received a great many tes
timonials from barriers, 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-
