“ An ample f.rce from the States of Kentucky,

the addition of a few regulars under the command
of Brigadier General Harriso|t, who possesses the
entire confidence of his fc*low soldiers, among
whom are citizens some oftyem volunteers in the
ranks, not less distinguished by their political sta
tions than by their personal merits.”
In Mr Madison’s message of December ISIS, the
compliment was extended, as follows :
“ The success on Lake Erie having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the emimy, the officer com
manding the Northwestern ib'ros, transferred the
war thirl her. and, lapidly purse mg the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage as. ates,forced a general
action, which quickly termi lin the capture of j
the British, and dispersion ot the savage force.
“ This result is signally honorable to Major Gen

pared."

Croghan :
“1 desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon

“ 1 have felt the warmest attachment for him as a

der remains unshaken. I feel every assurance that
he will at ail times do «*e justice;land nothing

The Richmond Enquirer said:
“G en Harrison’s letier 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 therelor-e dojustice to 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 oi pro
visions, and the whole army has subsisted, for the
last three days, on haw 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 w illing to part with their rights,
and submit themselves to the will ol a master.

Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
ihe New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man IP es, w hose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Ferry and Harrison, that does not feel
b pride in the valor and palriottsm of the heroes of
ihe West, who have treed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahaw k 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
18*21, after giving a general biography of Gen Har
rison, *>aid .
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British army, may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events jf the
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said :
“ If must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, and upon the
troops by I chom it was achieved.
“The action, and the movements which preceded
it. afforded ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidity of Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
acristics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances of
such cool and steady intrepedity, on the part of
nu itia, or a force ot this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
*• Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Ariel, and
arrved at Erie on the 2‘2d of October Here they
we*e received with every demonstration of joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
»fcc. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers. ”

illustriously distinguished in ihe field. During tlie
late war, he was linger in actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, oftner 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 assad him, is now summoned r»y his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils ot the nation, “and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !

MOFFAT’S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
ftpHESE medicines are indebted for their name
I to thi ir manifest and sensible action in puri
fying the spring and channels ol life, and enduing
them w ith renewed tone and vigor. In many hun
dred certified cases widen has been made public,
and in almost ever} species of disease to which
the human frame is liable, the happy* effects of
MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PHENIX BIT
TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac
knowledged by the persons benefiitted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beautifully
philosophical principles upon which they are
compounded, and upon which they eonsequently
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases ot every form and descripiion. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coals ot the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities eon-tantly settling around them ; ana to
remove the hardened faeces which collect
convolusions of the smallest iniesiines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costiveness with 11 its train of evils, or in a sud
den diarrhoea, with its eminent dangers. This tact
is well known to ail regular anatomists, who ex
amine lhe 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 pt rsons. Ihe se
cond effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the
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 heat, 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 Lite Medicines have been
thoroughly atte.-ted, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of j
the Heart, Lossot Appetite, Heart-bora and Head
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor |
and Melancholy, Cosfiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera,
Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies
of all kind, Gravel, \V orms, Asthma and Consump |
lion, Scurv}, Ulcers, inveterate Sores, Scorbutic!
Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com- I
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable j
Complexions, Salt Rheum. Erysipelas, Common
Colds and influenza and various other complaints j
which afflict the humar frame. In fever and I
ague, particularly, the Life Medicines hiwe 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 i
to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly j
according to the directions, it is not by a news- 1
paper notice, or any thirg that he himself may say ;
in their lavor, that he hopes to gain credit. It ns .
alone by the result of a fair trial.
MOFFAT’S MEDICAL MANUAL; designed j
as a domestic guide to health.—This little pamphlet j

Dti. d. BPOHN. a German physician ot much
note, naving devotee ms attention lor some
years to tne cure ami removal oi meet-uses of N EK
VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis
faction to make known, that he has a remedy which
by removing the causes cures effectuallv and perma
nently this distressing complaint. There are many
families who ha\e considered tsick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint* Dr. 8. as
sures them that ihey are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which iney might not only alleviate
but actually eradicated by the us if his remedy.
li is the result of scientific research, and is entirely '
of a different character trom 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, j
That so m ich suffering should have existed forages t
without any discovery of an effectual preventive, or :
cure,is truly a subject ol much regret but Dr. S. !
now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous. The j
principles on which it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a nutted lact mat this compiauu, w hether called j
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim- {
aniy Irom the stomach—those who think they have
IHe Nervous Headache may rest assured that l his
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th° sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the
stomach, and lhat only through the same channel
must they expect s restoration ol the natural and
healthy functions of the system. This object, Dr i
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to aitam. I
The truth of this position cannot be controverted, !
and the sooner sufferers with the headache become I
convinced of a, the sooner will their suffering end
in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his
professional reputation on this lact. Tne remedy
may be had ot apothecaries generally throughout
the United States.

A doubtful utility. 4 hey have passed away
from the hundreds lhat are daily launched upon
the tide of experiment, and now stand before the
public as high in reputation, 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 prepa.ed lor the relief
of suffering man. 1 hey have been intiuduced
wherever it was found poss ble to carry them ; and
there are but lew towns that do not contain some
remaikable evidences of their good effects. The
certificates lhat have been presented to the proprie- j
tor exceed twenty thousand ! upwards of five hun- i
dred ol w hich are from regular practising physicians, !
who are the most competent judges of their merits.
Olten have the cures pertormed by tnis medicine '
been the subject ot editorial comment in vaiious
newspapers and journals ; and it may with truth |
be asserted, that no me heme 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.
