and in times which aught to give them weight suf
ficient to bear down all the petty calumnies and
quibbling objections which parly malignity may now
presume 10 forge against the war-worn and time
honored potriot and soldier.
The authorities we present against the attacks of
locofo'-o federalism, and which we have slereotyp
cu as cn impregnable barricade against all opposi
tion, are no less than the Congress of the United
States, the Legislatures of Indiana, and ot Kentucky
James Madison, Jas. Monroe, Col. Richard M, John
son, Anthony Wayne, JLangdor Cheves, Simon Sny
der, Cov. Shelby, Com. Perry, Col Croghan, Col.
Davis, and others, including in the illustrious cata
logue even Thomas Ritchie, Isaac Hill, John M.
Niles and Moses Dawson !
Col. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President of
the Untied Slates, 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.
n Os the career of Gen. Harnson I need not speak
the history oft he West, is his history For forty
years he ha* been identified with its interests, its
perils and its hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils ol his country, he had been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field.
“ During the late w r ar, he w r as longer in active ser
vice than any o'her General officer; he was, per
haps, oftener in 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 the action which took
place on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see w ith sat
isfaction 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 Message tc Congress. No
vember, 1812, said,
“ An ample force from the States ol Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, under the command
«f 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 thirther,and,iapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminal; d in the capture of
the British, and disi»ersion of the savage 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, by 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, vve should inarch
under General Harrison with the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

Extract of a letter from Col. Davis, who was kil

“ 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 ihe young warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
thousands of women and children rescued from the
vealping knife of the rulhless savoge of the wilder
ness, and from the still more savage Proctor, rest on
Harrison and his gallant army.”
in the Legislaiure ol Indiana, on the 12th Nov.
1811, the 5 praker of the House of Representatives,
Gen. Wm Johnston, thus addressed General Harri
son.
“ Sir—The House cf Representatives of the In
diana territory, in their own name, and in behalf of
their constituents, most cordially reciprocate ihe
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 wo aee displayed in behalf of
our country, no' only the consummate abilities of
the general, but the heroism of the man ; and w hen
we take into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, foi a
moment, w ithhold om meed of applause.”
Legislature, of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
«• Resolved, By the Senate and House ol Repre
tativesof the State of Kentucky, in the late cam
paign against tne Indians upon the Wabash, Gov.
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 Wayne, 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 ihe most essential service, by coraraunica
ting my orders every direction, and by his con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
victory.”
Resolution directing the madals struck, and,Jto be
together with the thanks ol Congress, presented
to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby,
and for other purposes.
Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the United Slates of America in Con
gress assembled, That the thanks of Congress
be, and they are hereby, presented to Major Gen
eral William Henry Harnsoi . and Isaac Shelby,
late Gov. of Kentucky, and through them, to the of
ficers and men under their command, for their gal
lantry and good conduct in defeating the combined
British and Indian forces under .uajor General Proc
tor, on the Thames, in Upper Canada, on the fifth
day of October, one thousand eight hundred and
thirteen, capturing the British army, with their bag
age, camp equippage, and artillery ; and that the
President of the United States be requested to cause
two gold medals to be struck, emhletnaric of this
triumph, and be presented to General Harrison and
Isaac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky.
H. Clay,
Speaker of the House o Representatives.
John Gaillard,
President ol the Senate, pro tempore.
April 4, 1818.—Approved,
James Monroe.
Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says:
“ 1 feel no hesitation to declare to you that I be
iteve Gen Harrison to be one of the fust military
characters I ever knew ”
Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813,says;
m vp e did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [Harrison] who had proved him
self to be wise, prudent and brave.”
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817, says: . , -
“ The prompt change made by you in the order of
battle on discovering the position ot the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. I COOC IF wil l
venethe table Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct m that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle of the
Thames.
“ The victory of Harrison, was such as would have
secured to a Roman General in the best days oj the
Republic, the honors of a triumph ! He put an end
to the War in the Uppermost Canada.”
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan :
*• 1 desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of Gene ml Harrison.
“ I have felt the warrues. attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence iij him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. Iffed every assurance that
he will at all times do me justice; and nothing
could give me more pain *aan to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion t i deal out their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues (as in my humb s opinion he has hither
to done) tom ake the vvis< si arrangements and the
most judicious disposition |w hie n the forces under
his command will justify* i shall not nesilate to
unite with the army in lowing upon mm tnat
t
confidence which hceo richly merits, and Which has
on no occasion been withheld.”
The Richmond Enquirer said :
“G en Harrison’s letter tells us every thing that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He does justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore dojusticeto 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 array has subsistec, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”
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 ot a master.”
Wm. H Harrison.
83-“ 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 v ' H. Harrison.
“ Gene ral liarnson has done more for hia 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 lb cs, w hose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that docs not feel
a pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes 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 lire of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen- Har
rison, «a: d :
“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 battle of the Thames, he said :
“It must he conceded that this victory reflected
great ho'.ior upon the national arms, and upon the
troops bi whom it was achieved,
“ The action, and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidity cf Gen. Hairison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actisiics ; the disasters attending it having, in 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. Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of ihe
frontiers.”

. MOFFAT S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
medicines are indebted for their name
JL to th< ir manifest and sensible action in puri
fying the spring and channels ol life, and enduing
them with renewed tone atid vigor. In many hun
dred certified cases wbicn has been made public,
and in almost every species of disease to which
the human frame is liable, the happy effect of
MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PIIENIX BIT
TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac
knowledged by the persons benefiitted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beauiilully
philosophical principles upon which they are
compounded, and upon which they eonsequenlly
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases ot every form and descripiion. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coals ol the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities constantly settling around them ; ana to
remove the hardened faeces which collect i
convolusions of the smallest intesiines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costiveness with ell its train ofevils. or in a aud
’ den diarrhoea, wilh its eminent dangers. This fact
is well known to all 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. 'J he se
cond effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse tho
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 takes its red color from
the agency of the liver and the lungs before it
passes into the heaG, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food 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 Life Medicines have been
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
remody for dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of
the Heart, Lossol 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, V\ orrns, Asthma and Consump
tion, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic
Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable
Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysijieias, Common
Colds and influenza and various other complaints
which afflict the human frame. In fever and
ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been
rndsteminently successful; so much so ihat in the
Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versally prescribe them.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is
to he particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly
according to the directions. It is not by a news
paper nonce, or any thing that he himself may say
in Uieir lavor, tiiat he hopes to gam credit, it is
alone by the result of a fair .'rial.

DtL. E. SHORN, a (rerman pnysician of much
note. Having eevoleo ms attention lor some
years to tne cure and removal oi the causes ol IV ER
VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis
faction to make known, that he has a remedy wiich
by removing the causes cures effectually and perma
nently this distressing complaint. There are many
families who have considered Sick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as
sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which iney might not only alleviate
but actually eradicated by the use if his remedy.
It is ihe result of scientific research,and is entirely
of a different chaiacter from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Sjpohn’s
remedy for this distressing compaint is every day
gaming is certainly a matter ofmuch astonishment,.
That so m ich suffering should have existed ages
without any discovery of an effectual preveesiv?, 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 most credulous-. The
principles on which it acts are simple ami plain. It is;
an a milled fact that this complaint, whether called,
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arise* prim
arily from the stomach—those who think they
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that the sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, through .lie
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration of the natural Midi
healthy functions ol the system. This object, Dr
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to atmn..
The truth of this position cannot be controverted*
and the sooner sufferers with the headache
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering and,
in restoration of healbh, Dr. Spohn pledge* his*
prefessionai reputation on this fact. Tne remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United States.
