Who is Cen. Harrison ? The son ol one of ihe
signers of the Declaration of In lependence, who
spent the greater partof his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, of his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure the iiberfiea of ins
country.
it of the career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
- the history off he West, is his history. For forty
vonrs he has been identified with its interests, its
p-rils and ns hopes. Universally Moved in the
walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability in
tiie councils ot hrs country, he had been yet more
illustriously disiingu ; shed in the field
14 During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice man anv o' her General officer; he was, per
haps, oltoner in action than any one ot 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 losi in the action which took
place on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see with 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 ul
most exertions of valor and discipline.
James Madison in his Message to Congress, No
»r-mher, IBP/, said,
“ ample force from the Slates ol Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, wilh
the addition of a few regulars, under the command
of Brigadier General Harrison, who possesses the
entire confidence ot 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
»ageto ihe territory of ihe enemy, ihe officer com
manding the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war lhirther,and, lapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with thei: savage associates.forced a general
action, which quickly terminal d in the capture ot
the British, and dispersion 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, bj tleven of me officers who
fought under his banner at ihe battle of lippeca
noe.
“Should our country again req-me our service to
oppose a civilized or a savage foe, we should march
under General Harrison with the must perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.’

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says :
“ J feel no hesitation to declare to you that I be
heve Gen Harrison to be one of the first military

Col. Richard M. Johnson loGen. Harrison, July

“ H e did not want to serve under cowards or trai

“ The victory of Harrison , was such as would have

to the War in the Uppermost Canada.”
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan:
“I desire no plaudits w hich are bestowed upon
me at the expense ot General Harrison.
•• I have fill the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and ray confidence tn him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. 1 foci every assurance that
he will at all times do me justice ; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon tins occasion to deal out their uniricudly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues (as in my humble opinion lie It s hither

most judicious disposition, which tne forces under

The Richmond Enquirer said:
“Gen Harrison’s letter tells us everything that
we wish to know about the offi.-ers, except himself.
He does justice to every one but Harrison — and
the world must ihcretor-e do justice to I tie man who
was too modest to be just to himself.”

Than cs :
‘•We have suffered greatly for the want of pro
visions, and the whole army has subs isle ", lor the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”
OCT “ tn nil 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.

“General Harrison has done more for Ins coun
try, with less compensation for it, than any man
livhisr ” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23,1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man lb os, whose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that lines not feel
a pride in the valor and patriotism of ihe heroes of
the West, who have freed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahawk and scalping I- nife ! If there ho such an
one, he is a traitor to the country —be potsefsas the
spirit of a murderer.” •
John M. Niles, late Van Buren car d dale for Gov,
in Connecticut, in his lite of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography ol Gen liar
li.-on,*;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 of the
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of (he Thames, he said :
“It must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, and upon the
troops by whom it was achieved.
“The action.and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and j
cool intrepidity cf (Jen. Ua rison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these c-har
actislics ; the disasters attending u having, in no in
stance, been imputable io him.
“There are perhaps on record few instances of
such cool and steady intrepedity, on the part of
militia, or a force of this description, as was display- I
ed on lliis occasion. i
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Arte], and |
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy and
adraira ion ; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of ihe
frontiers.”

and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy

countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life

the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !

MOFFAT’S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES

MOFFAT’S LIFE?PILLS AM) PIIENIX BIT
TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac
l nowledged by the persons benefiitted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beautifully
philosophical principles upon which they are
compounded, and upon which they consequently
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases of 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 ; anc to
remove the hardened faeces which collect
convolustons of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costiveness with 11 its train of'evtls. or in a sud
den d.arrhcea, with its eminent Jangers. This tact
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 —cr medicines prepared and her
laded to I lie public bv ignorant pi rsons. '1 he 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 oflhe urinary
organs. 'The biood, v\ hich takes its red color from
the agency of the liver and the lungs before it
pasi-cs info the hea t, being inns purified by them
anil nourished by food coming from a clean stom
ach, courses freely lli.ongb the veins, renews every
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the
bat tier of health in the blooming check.

All that Mr. Moffat requires of itis patient is ;
to be* particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly
according to the directions. It is not by a news- ;

in their lavor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is

years to me cure aim removal of me cruses of N Elv-
VOUS AND SICK HEAD AC HE, has the satis
faction to make known, that he has a remedy which
by removing the causes cures effectually and perma
nently this distressing complaint. 'There are many
lambics who have considered Sick Headache a con
sliluttonal incurable lauiiiy complaint - Dr. S. as
sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which Huy might not only alleviate
but actually eradicated by the us' ffltts remedy.
Il is tbe result of scientific research,and is entirely
of a different chatacter 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 ibis distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
Thai so in tch suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual prevenliv or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S.
now assures the public that such a n medy has been
invented as will convince Ihe most credulous. The
.rinctples on which it acts are simple and plain. Itis
an a nutted lact Lit at this complaint, whether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach—those who think they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that tlmsys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expect s restoration of the natural and
healthy 1 unctions of the system. This object. Dr
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to aitatn
The truth of this position cannot be controverted,
and the sooner sufferers with ihe headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
tn restoration of health, Dr. ISpohn pledges his
professional reputation on this lact. The remedy
may be had ot apothecaries generally throughout
the United States.
