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.” An Eloquent Record. William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on thedih of February, 1773. i In 1791, when 15 years of age, be was appointed ! by Washington an Ensign in our infant army, i In 1792, he was promoted to the rank of Lieu- I tenant: and in 1793,joined the legion under Gen. I Wayne,and in a lew days thereafter, was selected by him as one of his Aids. On the 241 h of August, 1794, he distinguished himself in the battle ol the Miami, and elicited the ; most flattering written approbation of Gen M ayne. In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed in command of Fort VNashingion. In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams, Secretary of the North-western Territory and ex : officio Lt.

In 1809, he w r as re-appointed Governor of Indi ana by Madison. On the 7th November, 1811, he gained the great victory of TIPPECANOE On the lllh September, 1812, lie 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, and was terminated by the brilliant and successlul sortie of Gen.

In 1814, he was as pointed by Madison one of the Commissioners to rear with (he Indians, and j in tlie same year, with his colleagues Gov. Shelby and Gen. Cass, concluded the celeb.aled treaty of j 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 liepresentaiives. In 1819, he was elected a member of the Ohio j 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 bis immortal letter to Bolivar 1 the deliverer of South America. ! Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke | in the House ol Representatives whilst a member i ol that body : “Os the career of Gen. Harrison, 1 need not i speak—the history of the west is his history For 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 !’ ADMINISTRATRIX’S SATE. \J ILL be sold on the first Tuesday in Novcm- Ts her next, within the usual hours of sale, at Appling, Columbia county, 1G;) acres of oak and hickory land, adjoining lands of Bowdre,Beall and others.

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 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- I lect cures which it has performed on the sore : backs of suni« of those animals. Altogether the 1 proprietor feeds 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 itung of the kind which lias here tolure been offered to the public; and the proprietor i not only vouches for its general good qualities, but is willing to risk his reputation on a single trial, | i for he knows from ihe mos ample experience, that , it cannot be used without immediate and palpable benefit, in any one of the complaints for which it is so highly recommended.
