We have compiled, from various sources, ihe fol

manded from their several authors by the lofty pa

ri-on, long before he was named for the Presidency
and in times which ought to give them weight suf

quibbling object ions w hich party malignitymay now
presume to fbrge against ihe war-worn and tiiae

Coi. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
the United States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of In lependence, 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 his
country.
“ Oft he career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
the history ofthe West, is his history. For forty
years he has been identified with its interests, its
perils and ns hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils ot his country, he had been yet mure
illustriously distinguished in the field.
“ During' the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice man 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, 1811, said,
“ While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost in ihe action which took
place on the 7lh ultimo, Congress will see with sat
isfa, tion the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
as well as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commandei on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline."
James Madison in his dess-age u Congress. No
vember, 1812,said,
“ An ample force from the States ot 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 7 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. Madi.-on’s message of December 1313, the
compliment was extended, as follows :
“ The success on Lake Erie having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer coin
manning the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thirther, and, inpidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with ther savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminal d in the capture of
the Hriiish, and dispersion of the savage force.
“ This result is signally honorable to Major Gen
eral Harrison, ly 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 nis banner at the battle of Tippeca
noe .
“Should our country again require our service to
oppose a civilized or a savage fop, we should march
under General Harrison with tiidmost perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.” «

“ Already is the brow of ihe young warrior, Cro

“ General Harrison has done more fur 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 Patriot said :
“ What man IB es, whose whole heart and soul is
not 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
the 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 lite of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen- Har
rison, said ;
“ 'l’he defence of Fort Meigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British army, may he fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events of the
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said ;
“It must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, anil upon the
troops by whom it was achieved.
“ The action, and the movements which preceded
it, afford, d ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidity ol Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
aciistics ; the disaster- attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps ou record few 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 ihe Ariel, and
arrived at Eric- 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 tho deliverers of the
frontiers.”

MOFFAT S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
fS’tHESE medicines are indebted for their name
fi- to tin ir manifest and sensible action in pnii
fying the spring and channels ot life, and enduing
them with renewed tone and vigor. In manv hun
dred certified cases which has been made public,
and in almost every species of disease to which
the human frame is liable, the happy effects of
MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PH BN IX BIT
TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac-
Inovvledged by the persons benefiitted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beauiilnlly
philosophical principles upon which they are
cornpouii Jed, and upon which they eoiisequeiuly
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases ot every form and description. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coats of the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities eon-tanlly settling around them ; ano to
remove the hardened fteces which collect t
convolusions of the smallest intestines. Other
mrdicir.es only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costivencss with 11 its train ofevils. or in a sud
den diarrhoea, with its eminent dangers. This tact
is well known to ail regular anatomists, who ex
amine the human bowels after death ; and henge
the prejudice of those well informed men against
quack medicines —cr medicines prepared and her
ladetl to the public bv ignorant p< rsons. 'i he se
cond effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse ilia
kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the
liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which
entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary
organs. The blood, which lakes its red color from
the agency ol the liver and the lungs before it
passes into the heat, being thus purified by them
and nourished by tbod coming from a.-clean stom
ach, courses freely through the veins,Renews every
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the
banner of health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Lilo Medicines have been
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy lor Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of
the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Head
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor
and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera,
Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies
of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Ast lima and Consump
lion, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic
Eruptions and Bud 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, pailiculariy, the Life Medicines have been
most cm nenily 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 nonce, or any ihi r g that he himself may say
in their lavor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is
alone by ihe result of a fair '.rial.

£ * note, oaving uevoieo ms attention lor some
years to me cure anu removal ol tne ctuscsol iNEK
VOUS AND SICK HEAD aCHE, has the satis
faction to make known, that he has a remedy which
by removing the causes cures effectually and perma
nently ibis distressing complaint. There are many
families who have considered Sick Headache a con
stitutional incurable lumily complaint* Dr. S. as
sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which lacy might not only alleviate
but actually eradicated by the us;- >f his remedy.
It is the result of scientific research,and is entirely
of a different chaiacler from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
That so m ich suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual prevent iv i, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S.
now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the moat credulous. The
.-rinciples on which it acts are simple and plain. It is
ini a milted fact that this complaint, w hether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach —those who think they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that t his
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that ih° sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration ol jhe naiural and
healthy functions ol the system. This object, Dr
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain.
The truth ol this position cannot be controverted,
and t tie sooner sufferers with i lie headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his
prefessionai reputation on this fact. Tne remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United Slates.
