with him; when we see displayed in behalf of

we take into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, for a
moment, w ithhold our meed of applause.”

Gen. Anthony Wajne, in his Letter to the Secre

Sentiments of the Hero of Foil Si phenson,Col.
Croghan: j
4> 1 desire no plaudits which are b Rowed upon
me at the expense ot General Harriet .
44 1 have ftlt the warmest attachme t for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as at tble comman
der remains unshaken. I feel every Assurance that
he will at all times do me justice * and nothing
could give me more pain than to s< J his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; ansfsolong as he
continues (as in my humble opinion jjlie has hither
to done Hom ake the wisest nrrangcitems and. the
most judicious disposition, whicn thc| forces i nder
his command will justify, I shall in hesitate to
unite with me array m bestowing uion (rum that
9
conjuknce which he so richly my Is, and wh.ch he*
on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said:
“Gen Harrison’s letier tells us every thing that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself
He dors justice to every one bat Harrison—and
the world must therefore dojuslice to the man who
was 100 modest lo 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 haw beef without salt.
OCT 44 In all ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators ofthe soil are those
who are the least willing to part with their rights,
and submit themselves lo the will ol a master.
Wm. II Harrison.
JKT 4, 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 Wm. H- Harrison
44 General Harrison has done more for his coun
try with less compensation for it, than an\ man
livi’iitr-'’ President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said ;
44 What man liv es, whose whole heart and soul is
pot British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Ferry and Harrison, that does not feel
a pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes ol
ihe 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 lo the country —he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his life of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen Har
risonjsaid ;
44 The defence of Fort Meigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British array,may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events of the
late war.” .
In alluding to the battle of ihe Thames, he said ;
44 It must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, and upon the
troops by vhom it was achieved.
44 The action, and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidity ct Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable lo him.
44 There are perhaps on record few instances ol
such cool and steady intrepidity, on the part of
militia, or a force of this descripiion, as was display
ed on this occasion.
44 Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Artel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October Here they
; were received w ith every demonstration of joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
i &.c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”
An Eloquent Record.
William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on
the 9th of February, 1773.
In 1791, when 19 years of age, he was appointed
by vVashington 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
1 kimselt in the battle ot the Miami and elicited the
most flattering w ritten 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,
j Secretary of the Norih-wesiern 'Territory and ex
ojfcio Lt. Governor.
In 1801, ho 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 the7ih November, 1811, he gained the great
victory of TIPPECANOE
On the lllh September, 1812, he was appointed
by Madison, Coraraander-in-Ctief of the North
western array.
On the Ist May, 1813, the Beige ol Fort Meigs
j commenced—lasted live days, and was terminated
by the brilliant and successful sortie of Ge«. Har
rison.
On the 31st 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 lo real with the Indians, and
I in the same year, w ith his colleagues Gov. Shelby
and Gen. Cass, concluded the celetualod 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 Re presen tali ves.
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 Commit tee, in place of Gen. Jackson, w'ho had
resigned
In 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia,
and, in 1829, wrote his immortal letter to Bolivar
the deliverer of South America.
Os him Col. Johnson (Vico President) thus spoke
in the House ol Representatives whilst a member
of that body ;
44 Os the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not
speak—the history of the west is his history For
forty years he has been identified with its interests,
its penis, and vs hopes. Universally beloved in
the w alks of peace, and distinguished by his ability
in the councils of his country, he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished in ihe field. During the
late war, tie was linger in actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, e finer in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat .”
Such is the man, who, still enjoying his untar
nished lame and glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy
can assail him, is now summoned r»y his grateful
countrymen lo leave the quiet walks of private life
lo guide the councils of the nation, 44 and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !

MOFFAT'S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
medicines are indebted for their name
I to th« ir rnanihst and sensible action in puri
fying the spring and channels ol life, and enduing
them with renewed tone and \igor. In many hun
dred certified cases which has been made public,
and in almost ever) species of dis“asc to which
the human frame is liable, the happy effects of
MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PHENTX BIT
TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac
l now lodged by the persons bei.eliitted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beamilully
philosophical principles upon which they are
compounled. and upon which they ejnsequcnlly
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases ot every form and description. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coals ot the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities eon-tantly settling around them ; ano to
remove the hardened fa?ces which collect >
convolusions of the smallest intesiines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
ai coetivencss w ith 11 its train ofevils.or in a sud
den diarrhoea, with its eminent dangers. This fact
is well known to ail regular anatomists, who ex
amine the human bowels after death ; and hence
the prejudice of those well informed men against
quack medicines—or medicines prepared and her
laded to the public- bv ignorant p< rsons. 'I he se
cond effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse Iha
kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the
liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which
entirely depends upon the regularity oft he urinary
organs. The blood, w hich lakes its red color from
the agency ol the liver and the lungs before it
passes into the hea t, heiug thus purified by them
and nourished by food corning from a clean stom
ach, courses freely thiough the veins, renews every
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the
banner of health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of
the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Head
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor
and Melancholy, Cosliveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera,
Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gour, Dropsies
of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consump
lion, tScurv), Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic
Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable
Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common
Colds and influenza and various other complaints
which afflict the humar frame. In fever and
ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been
most eminently successful; so much so that in the
Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versally prescribe them.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is
to be particular in taking the Life -Medicines strictly
according to the directions, it is not by a news
paper notice, or any thiug that he himself may say
in their favor, that ho hopes to gain credit. It is
alone by the result of a fair trial.
MOFFAT’S MEDICAL MANUAL; designed
as a domestic guide to health.—This little pamphlet
edited by W. B Moffat 375 Broadway New York,

S |li. c. SPCH.V a German pnystCian of much
JL/ note, navmg uevoteo ms attention lor some
years to tne cure ana removal of me causes of NER
VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis
faction to make known, that he has a remedy w hich
by removing the causes cures effectually and perma
nently this distressing complaint. There are many
families w ho have considered Sick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint* Dr. S. as
sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which tnoy might not only alleviate
but actually eradicated by the use if Ids remedy.
Ii is the result of scientific research,and is entirely
of a different cbaiacter from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy lor this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
That so much sutiering should have existed for ages
w ithout any discovery of an effectual prevontiv.3, or
cure, is truly a subject, of much regret but Dr. S.
now assures tbo public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous. The
principles on w hich it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a milled fact that this complaint, w hether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from ihe stomach—those who think they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is ihe first cause, that the sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough ihe
stomach, and that only through the game channel
must they expects restoration ol jhe natural and
healthy functions of the system. This object, Dr
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain.
The truth ol this position cannot he controverted,
and the sooner sufferers with the headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will their sutiering end
in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his
professional reputation on this fact. 'Tne remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United Stales.

PETERS’ VEGETABLE PILLS.
Pills are no longer among those of
JL doubtful utility. They have passed away
from the hundreds that are daily launched upon
the tide of experiment, and now stand before the
public as high in repuiation, and as extensively
employed in all parts of the United States, the Can
adas, Texas, Mexico, and the West Indies, as any
medicine that has ever been prepared for the relief
of suffering man. T hey have been introduced
w herever it was found possible to carry them ; and
there are but few towns that do not contain some
remaikable evidences of their good effects. The
certificates that have been presented to the proprie
tor exceed twenty thousand ! upwards of five hun
dred ot w hichare from regular practising physicians,
who are the most competent judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this medicine
been the subject of editorial comment in vatious
newspapers and journals; and it may with truth
be asserted, that no me iicine of the kind has ever
received testimonials of greater value than are at
tached to this.
They are in general use as a family medicine,
and there are thousands of families who declare
they are never satisfied unless they have a supply
always on hand.
T hey have no rival in curing and preventing
Bilious Fevers, fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver
Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma,
Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen,

the Bowels, wlieie a cathartic or an aperient is
needed. 1 hey are exceedingly mild in their opeta
