"The homage of justice. We ii?v? conipilrd, from various WMirrfit, the following disinterested testimonials, which were commanded from their several authors by the lofty patriotism, valor, lulents and success of General Harrison, long before he wax named for the Presidency, and in times which ought lo give them weight sufficient to bear down all the petty calumnies and quibbling objections which party malignity may now presume to forge against the war worn and time-honored patriot and soldier. The authorities we present against the attacks of loco foco federalism, and which we have stereotyped ns an impregnable barricade against all opposition, are no less than the Conurum or the Unite* Stateh, the Leuhlati ke* of In diana, and of Kentucky, Jameh Maimhon, Jah. Monhok, Col. Richard M. Johnson, Anthony Wayne, Lanodon Cheve*, Simon Snydlr, Gov. Siiclhy, Com. Perry, Col. Croohan,Colonll Davie*, and others, including in the illustrious catalogue eveu Thomah Ritchie, Imaac Hill, John M. Nilem and Moan Dawson ! Col. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice Presi dent of the United States, said, (in Congress)? " Who is Gen. Harrison I The son of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, who spent the greater part of his large fortune in redeem ing the pledge he then gave, of-his ' fortune, life nnd sacred honor,' to secure the liberties of bis country " Of the career of Qen. Harrison I need not s|s-ak ?the history of the West, is his history. For forty years he has (teen identified with its interests, it.-> pe ril* and its hopes. Universally beloved in the walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability in the coun cils of his country, he has been yet more illustriously distinguished in the field. " During the late war, he was longer in active ser vice than any other General officer; he was, |>erha|M, olYener in action than any one of them, and never sustained a defeat." Jami:h Madison, in a special message to Con gress, Dec. 18, 1811, said, While it is deeply lamented that so many valuable lives have been lost in the action which took placc on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see with satisfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victoriously displayed by every description of lroo|>s engaged, as veil as the collected Jirmness which distinguished their command er on an occasion requiring fhf utiliD.it exertions of ralor and discipline. Jameh Madison in his message to Congress, November, 1812, said, An ample force from the States of Kentucky, Ohio. Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with tfie addi tion of a few regulars, under the command of Briga dier General Harrison, who possesses the entire con fidence of bis fellow soldiers, among whom arc citi zens, some .if them volunteers in the ranks, not less distinguished by their political stations than by their personal merits. In Mr. Madison'* message of Dec. 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 thither, and, rapidly pursuing the hostile troo|is. fleeing willi their savage associate, forced a general action, which quickly terminated in thecapturc of the British, and dispersion of the savage force. This result in signally honorable to .Major Gene ral Harrison, by whose military talents it inn fire pared. The following tribute of praise wax paid to General Harrison in 1 HI I, liy eleven oflhe officer* who fought under his banner at the battle of Tippecanoe : " Should our country again require our services to iippose a civilized or a savage foe, we should march under General Harrison with the <<io*t perfect confi dence of victory and tame.''

"Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro jjan, encircled with laurels, anil tne blessings of thou sands of women and children rescued from the scalp ing knife of the ruthless savage of the wilderness, and fiomthe still more savage Proctor, rest on Harrison and his gallant army " In the Legislature of Indiana, on the l'2th Nov 1811, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Gen Wm Johnson, thus addressed Gen Harrison "Sir?The House of Representatives of the Indi ana territory, in their own name, and in behalf of their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the eongratu lations of youi Excellency on tne glorious result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shawnee Pro phet, and tne tribes of Indians confederated with nim, when we see displayed in behalf of our country, not only the consummate abilities of the general, but the heroism of the man ; and when we take into view the benefits which must result to that country ftrotn those exertions, we cannot, for a moment, withhold our meed of applause."

William Henry Hatrison has behaved like a hero, a patriot, iilid a general, anil that for bis cool, deliberate, skilful and gallant conduct in the battle of Tippecanoe, he well deserves 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 sanguin ary Indian Battle, in I7!W, said: " My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison rendered the most essential service, by communicating my orders in every direction, and by his conduct and tiravery, exciting the lroo)>s to press for victory."

"General Harrison ha* done more for hi* country, with less compensation for it, than any man living. PRESIDENT MADISON. Ex-Governor Isaac Hill, Nov. 23, 1813, in the New Hampshire Patriot said: " What man live*, whom' whole heart and *oul i* not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late victories of Perry and Harrison, that doe* not feel a pride in the valor and |>alriotism of the heroes of the West, who have freed a country large a* the Em pire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian toma hawk and scalping knife! If there be Mich an one, he is a traitor to hi* country?he possesses the spirit of a murderer." . John M. Nii.es, late Van Buren candidate for Governor in Connecticut, in his Life of Perry, published in 1821, after giving a general biogra phy of General Harrison, said: " The defence of Port Meigs, and the suliseuuent capture of the British army, may lie fairly considered the most brilliant nnd extraordinary events of the late war." In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said: '? It mint be conceded Unit this victory rejtected great honor it/ton the national arms, and u)>on the I roof)* by irhom it was achieved. " The action, and the movements which preceded it, afford ample testimony of the judgment anil cool intre pidity of General Harrison ; and, indeed, all the events of the caiii|)aiirn support these characteristic*; the disasters attending it having, in no instance, been im putable to hiin. " There are |terhapn on record few instance* of such cool and steady intrepidity, on the part of militia, or a forte of this de*cri|ition, as was displayed on this occasion. *; Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Ariel, and arrived at Erie on the 22d of October.

UK unfortunate nrr resjiectlully iitn?nn?Hi that the Albany Lock Hospital, established ami mo delled after tin- much celebrated Euroiicaii Lmk Hospital. has many years since tieeii founded at Head Quarter*, No. It Norton street, Albany, N. Y. To those unacquainted with this institution, it is necessa ry to mention that it has for its object the cure of all such diseases as syphilis, scrofula, strictures, diseases of th?- urethra, lumbago, flour albus, inipotency, dis eases of the womb, seminal weakness ot both sexes, nodes, caries of the bones, gonorrhuea, gleets, with all venerial complaints, &<?. Persons, ignorant of the nature of Disease, are not aware that many stages mark its progress from Ihe commencement to its full development, originating in a most simple form, ami through neglect or injudicious treatment, assume a more aggravate*! state of disease, and occasion abscess, ulceration, pseudo syphilis,can cer, premature old age, too often ending in a protract ed incurable state of miserable existence. This institution is under tin- su|ierintendcnc6 and management of Professor Cookk, \I. D.t 1). 1)., LL. IV, of the city of Albany, N. Y., who will give his iM'rsonal attendance at the Disftcnsary, attached to the Institution, at all hours to invalids requiring his professional services. lie having had much more ex|>nrienee in this branch of medical practice than usually falls to the lot of any one member of the pro fession, therefore feels such confidence of his ability to give universal satisfaction, that he assures all appli cants, none need despair of a complete recovery. The unfortunate therefore, who have suffered from the want of success by those less experience), are in vited to visit the Hospital, wlueh only requires to be known to l>c sure of support, where the most perfect secrecy may be dejicnded on, and tile utmost privacy will attend those who call. The whole house is ex clusively appropriated to the use of patients, who will always lie received into separate apartments, and at no time, unless at the request of the patient, will a third party lie permitted to be present. Professor Cooke has a number of handsomely fur nished private chambers, at No. 33 Green street, where he will receive gentlemen who may r? quire medical aid Residing himself on the premises, he will thereby he enabled to dedicate more than ordina ry attention to his patients. Gentlemen will lind it Isith convenient, as well as economical, in all c .kcs of disease, to retire to these furnished rooms. The I'rrloral ICs.ienrc nf Hmirnel, universally known as an excellent cough medicine, is prepared at this in stitution. Its efficacy being decidedly superior to any specific extant, is every where recommended in ail cases of coughs, colds, asthma, croup, hooping cough, as well as hi all complaints of the chest anil lungs. Travellers, therefore, ministers of the gospel, oratois, public *|ieakers. ami families, should never lie without their abundant supplies As long as Professor CO'lKR desires to benefit the public, it is proper he should continue hi; advertise ment, for the good of strangers, as it is well known, jicople are extremely shy in speaking of cases of a delicate nature, even where a physician is pre-emi nently successful Communications, |s>st paid, to the address of Pro fessor Cooke, M I> , l? l> , LL.
