THE HOMAGE OF JUSTICE.
We hare compiled, from various sources, .Itie
lillowing disinterested testimonials, which were
rtmmanded from their several wilhois by the lot

Harrison, long before he wns named for the Pre.

niiy may now presume to forge againsl the. war
worn and time honored patriot and soldier.
The authorities wo present against the puny
attacks of Loco-loco roderalisiii, and winch we

in the illustrious catalogue even Thomas Ritchie
himself
We begin with the testimony of Col. Richard
1.1. Johssom, now Vice President of the United
Slates.
Col. Johr.son said, (in Consrrcs';)
"Who is den. Harrison ! The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence, who
spent the greater part of his lurgc fortune in redeem
inr the nledire lie 'then gave, of his 'fortune, life rind
sacred honor,' to secure the liberties of his coun
try.
"Of the career of Gen. Harrison I need not
peak tlio history of the West, is his history
For forty years he bus been identified with its in
forests, its Derils and its hopes. Universally be
oved in the walks of ppace, and distinguished hy
his ability in the councils of his country, he ha
been yet more illustriously distinguished in the
fifld.
"During the late war, he was longer in active
rvice than any other General officer , be was per
haps, oftencr in action than any one of them, and
never sustained a defeat."
Ja.mes Maoison, ill a special message to Con
t'ress, Dec. 18, 1811, said,
While it is deeply lainenled that so many valu
able lives have been lo.t in the action which took
place on the 7ili ultimo, Congress will sec with
satisfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victo
riously displayed by every description of troops en
Raged, as aril as the collected f.rnmess uhich distin

James Madisox in his message to Congress,
Nov. 1312, said,
An omplo force from the Slates of Kentucky
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a few regnlurs under the command
of Brigadier Gen. Harrison, possesses the entire
confidence of his fellow soldier", union); whom ore
riliren. some of them volunteers in the ranks, not
less distinguished by their political stations man by
their, personal merits.
la Mr. Mauisun's message of Dec. 1S13, the
6rr-plinient was extended, as follows :
The success mi Lake Erie having opened a pas
sage on the territory of the enemy, the officer com
mandingthe Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thither, and, rapidly pursuing the ho-tile
troops, fleeing villi their savogo associate, forced
a gsneral action, which quickly terminated in tin
capture of the British, and dispersion of the savage

Tie victory of Harrison, u-as such as tcovld hate

to the War in the uppermost Uannda."
Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson,
Col. Croghan, now of the War Department:
"I desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense of Gen. Harrison.
"I have felt the wannest attachment for him as
a man. and my confidence in him as an able com
mander remains unshaken. I feel every assurance
that he will at all times do me ample justice; and
nothing could give me more pain than lu see his en
emies seize upon tins occasion to ueal out their nn
friendly feelings and acrimonious dislike; and as
lonir as be continues, (as in my humble opinion he
has ltitherto done,1 to make the wisest arrangements
and the mast judicious disposition, which the forces
under his command will justify, I shall not hesitate
to unite with the army in bestowing upon him that
confidence which he so richly merits, and which has
on no occasion been withhold."
Lastly we come to the ncnt compliment of
1 nomas Hiclue, h.mor ol the Kichmonil Lnquir
er, the leading organ of the Coalition in the
South, who now brandishes his old "chapelcss
sword with two broken points, ' and threatens
devastating war upon the conqvorcr ef the Brit,
tish and Indian Coalition of the West! The
Richmond Enquirer said:
"General Harrison's letter toils OS every thing
that we wish to know about tha officers, except him
self. Ho does justice to every one but Harrison
and the world must thertfore do justice lo the nan
who was too modest to be just to himsrlf."

SALT KIVIIR HGIt ALU.
Under this title the undersigned propose" to pub
lish, in the Town uf Taris, Monroe County, Mis
souri, a Weekly Journal, to ho doolcd, principally
to Political, Agricultural, Commercial, and Scien
tific information, but to embody the usual variety
which is found in a Family Nf.wspaif.r.
In Politics, the paper will he thoroughly Whig.
The Editor in no respect doubts tho election of
Uenkiiai. Harrison to the Presidency, and as little
doubts lhat Hie course of his administration wiil be
such as to deserve the support cf tho Sepnblicun
party, of which he is a muiubcr. If so, it shall
have his. He will be pleased, also, to act with the
same enlightened party in reference to measures of
State policy, ond will do so, to I ho extent of his
capacity, and the acquiescence of his judgment.
As the name ho has chosen was intended to in
dicate, his paper will ?'imiA:.i" alike the wrongs
and the virtues of the'itorld around it regurdless
of whom it may effect, in praise or in censure. A
Xewspaper, on any other principle, is a misnomer
and a mockery.
The untiring zeal with which the Democratic
party in this State, carried on the war in our late
elections together with the villany, industry, end
the celerity with which they carried into execution
their plans, will remain as an alarming and an en
during monument of Democratic enterprise! Like
the lamed Jjpigon, which is said never to close Ins
lidlesseyes, the slirringand pilfering spirit of De
mocracy, slumbers (if at oil) with unclosed ryes!
Ihenase, contemptible, and tulse-henrted flattery,
with which these political hypocrites attempt to in
sinuate themselves into favor; and the skill with
which these ponderers and parasites these syco
phants and demagogues of Democracy, manage to
get upon the blind side of human nature, and tu
take an advantage of its weakness and passions,
must all belaid naked before the gaze of an honest,
an unsuspecting, but heretofore deluded people. In
one word, the time has again approached, when we
must all enter upon a great political contest. Like
that through which we have just passed in our
State, it will be a contest nf principle against power
a contest of the people against the ojice-holders. We
are nune.of those who indulge in gloomy onlicipa
tion. We do not despair ot tho Republic. Our
trust is strong, that the gallant ship, in which all
our hopes are embarked, will yet outride the storm
saved alike from the breakers and billows ofdis,
union, and the greedy whirlpool the all engulph
ing malestruoms of executive power that un
broken, if nut unharmed, she may pursue her pros
perous voyage far down the sir turn of time; on
that the banner of our country, which now waves
over us so proudly, will still float in triumph borne
on the winds of heaven, fanned by the breath of
fame, every stripe bright and unsullied, every star
lixed in its sphere, ages alter each ot us shall have
ceased to gaze on its majestic folds forever.
We shall commence and continue the good fight,
till error, sick with contradiction, and crazed with
a superabundance of inconsistency, shall be seen
flying to falsehood as a remedy, and expiring from
rite venom of its own fangs. We will continue the
warfure, till the night of superstition shall pass
away the purple morn of reason shall dawn the
lints ol truth appear and Ibe gloomy mists fade in
the distance, and shik below the horizon to rise no
more! Till the hallowed name of Liberty, more
fragrant than the Spring gales of Arubia, more
balmy than Uilead s air, thrills the bosom where
despair once revelled, and whispers, "good tidings
for ad mankind." In a word, we trust, we shall
nut relax our efforts, till trophies of victory, in
smiles and peace, deck the brows of those who once
were saddened with doubt and uncertainty, and
sunk with political sorrows, to the depths ol a
iory s hell.
To all those who value the liberty we yet enjoy
the privileges bequeathed lu us by our heroic
sires, let them immediately step forward and lend
their aid to the "IIekald."
OCrlf encouraged according to the expectation of
his triends, the K-Jilor will shortly feel justified in
ordering his materials and commencing Ins enter
prise. He desires tu du so us speedily as possible,
and, to this end, he respectfully requests gentlemen
into whose hands his prospectus may fall, to exert
themselves to fill them with names, as promptly as
may be, and return him a list tu Paris.
The sheet will be a large imperial one
handsomely printed, and furnished at three dollars
in advance, or four dollars at the end of the year.
