SOOTHING SYRUP,
FOR CHILDREN TEETHING^
To Mothers and Norsn.
The passage of the teeth-through the gums
[produces troublesome and dangerous symptoms.
It is known by'mothersthat there is great irri
tation in the mouth and gums during this pro

■ is increased, the child is seized With frequent
and sudden fits of crying, watching, starting in
%ts sleep, and spasms cf peculiar parts; the child
shrieks with extreme violence, and thiusts its
fingers into its mouth. If these nrecursary symp
toms are notrspeedily alleviated, spasmodic con
vulsions universally supervene,, and soon cause;
the dissolution of the infant. If mothers who
•have their little..babes afflicted with these dis
tressing symptoms would apply the celebrated

Dr. Hunt,' whose extensive research andprac-,
tical experience so eniinently.qualify him for the
profession of which he has been one_of the most
useful members. He contends—and a moment’s
reflection will convince any reasoning mind of the
correctness,of his vicw»f-that the stomach, liv
er, and the assdeiated'organs. are the primary
and great regulators oflrealtlv,' and that the blood
; in very many instances is dependent on these or.
sans, and that unless medicine reaches THE
. ROOT. OF THE DISEASE, the
anodynes usually prescribed' serve hut its foils
to enter the (ravages'of deep-rooted maladies.—
Under these convictions, at theexpense of ye, rt
of close application the. doctor has discovered a
medicine whose searching powers are irresisti
ble, and in prescribing, it is with a knowledge of
its being a radical cure in the various diseases
tlready enumerated, even if applied in the most
critical cases, but he does ndt protend to ascribe
HUNT’S BOTANIC PILLS
a supernatural agency, although from positive
proofs within the knowledge of hundreds he is
prepared to shew, that when every other earth.
Iy remedy has been given up,
HUNTS BOTANIC PILLS
have never, been known to fail in effecting two
very gratifying results, that of raising from the
bed of sickness and disease those who have test:
ed their efficacy, and thus amply rewarding Dr.
Hunt for his long and anxious study to attain this
fierfection in the Healing Art. .
The extraordinary success which has attend
ed the use of Htjnt!s Botanic Pills, is
V the best criterion of their superior virtues.
They have been the means of raising a

From the Baltimore Post'.
:W*illiatn Henry Harrison*
- _.The Whigs have at length so far silenced
the conflicting interests of their party as, to
agree-upon a_ candidate for the Presidency,
and with a view to conciliate the support of
all factions have accepted the personage pre
sented to them bythe. piebald assemblage
convened at Harrisburg; The
Dominhtion of Gen. Harrison for the Presi
dential chair has been the signal to the sab
servient presses of the Wing party to put
forth for him claims to the -most exalted
qualification's, both civil and military, that
have distinguished -any man of our republic.
More especially in his military.exploits, ac
cording to his fulsome eulogists, has he earn
ed wreaths, compared with which - -
“The laurels Ciesar won were weeds,”
That oar democratic fellow citizfens and
the honest portion of the Whig party may.
know how to estimate these pretensions, we
here present them with an outline of Gen’l.
Harrison’s, military career. The facts will
at any timt, if controverted, besubsta'ntiat
ed by documentary proof. ■
Gen-Harrison, at a very gccon age, se
cured through the wealth and influence of
his connections an Ensigncy in the army un
der Wayhe.' In 1800, after his retirement
frpm : the army, he obtained through the same
influence, the pppointment of Governor of
the North West Territory. In the discharge
of the duties of this station little occurred
until the year 1810 and 1811, eithewto make
or mar his- character, with the exception that
his susceptibility to flattery made him always
the head of a territorial faction rather than
Governor of the Territory. About the year
1810 commenced our troubles oA the Indian
frontier’. Gov. Harrison then opened a cor
respondence 'with' the-War Department,
which he perseverhrgly bored with letters,
remarkable, only for- their length and egot
:isnn~-The'.trdaW&i?®ir(?kencd, Millin' 1811
Gov. H. was ( authoriscd to call for troops. —
His call was-responded to by as gallant a
hotly of men as ever assembled, headed by a
Daviess, a Owen, _a Spencer, and. a Boyd,
the latter commanding the 4th regiment of
U. S. Infantry. ' - . . ,
With this force Gov. Harrison marched
within sight of the Indian towns and halted.
Daviess, Taylor and others held a confer
ence with the Indians, whom they found in
[ np considerable alarm at the imposing force
| before them. This fact was communicated
to Gov. H. Nevertheless, after some delay,
j during which .the Indians were permitted to
i strengthen themselves by accessions from
neighboring tribes, Gov. Harrison was indu
ced to encamp on ground pointed out to him
by the Indians, and most felicitously adapt
ed to the purpose for which they had chosen
it. On this spot his whole force encamped,
in sight of a wily, deadly and treacherous
foe. They encamped without even the cus
tomary precaution Of throwing up a common j
log Jjreast-work, which an hour’s time might
have accomplished. The commander un
dressed and retired to his- repose, and his
entire corps, save,the common sentinels
followed his'.example. What was the re
sult of this utter neglect of all the common
precautions against attack? Precisely what
any one but Gen. Harrison would have fore
seen.
An hour before day the Indiansburst up
on,the emcampment, artd so complete was
thp surprise that many of the soldiers met
thf tomahawk of the Savage at the entrance
do their tents! Owen and many other gal
lant spirits fell at the onset. All was con
fusion' and dismay. A body of Indians took
shelter, behind some logs and were pouring
in a-most deadly fire. - Gov. Harrison, with
characteristic folly, ordered the chivalrous
Daviess to charge them. Maj. Daviess'was.
op foot, and, commanding the dragrbbns was
armed only with pistols; be was thus most
.wantonly sacrificed,-1o the incapacity of his
commanding; General. ißoyd anil his regu
lars stood yieip ground with the coolness
■which marks the well trained soldier,—-beat
off theenemyuntil light, and saved the ar
my from, annihilation. As the ’day dawned
the Indians retired, having shed much of the'
best blood jof the West, and almost destroy
ed“ lhe“gallant. body under Goyf H’s com
mand.--
Gov. Harrison retreated as fast as the con
dition of tlic Wounded would permit, and
thus commenced, the Indian war which for
so long a time drenched, oar frontier .in
blood; and thus terminated the famed battle
of Tippecanoe, which I ies at the' foundation
6T all Gen. Harrison’s military glory! For
want of foresight in precautionary measures,
and- want, of judgment in action, it is with-'
out a parallel in the history of our wars;
yet for this Gen.: Harrison is-dubbed at Hero
—"the Hero of Tippecanoe.”
In the June following the-events above
stated, .Congress declared war, an da requi
sition was made upon Kentucky for volun
teers. The. population of no state in the
Union was more perfectly united in refer
ence, fo the policy-df declaring war* nor em
barked in it with" more enthusiasm, than that
of:Kentucky.- - Aware of-these facts. Gov.
Harmon left his post of Governor of the
Territory of lndiana. and repaired to'Ken
tucky, dacLin a.knhting-shirt to give more
effect to :the part of demagogue he so well
knew how to'perform, and commenced a se
ries of to divest Gen’l,
Winchester commaiid- of the armv,
which modest and gallant officer the Govern
ment had. directed* to'assume it; The then
Governor of Kentucky, agood patriot,;bnl:

to confer the rank of Major General of.the
Kentucky Militiaupon Gov. HafrißOT. and
With this commission, obtained bv’election

bar, a Jennings, a Simrall and h Madison.
When these troops the frontier
they were joined by a numerous corps from
Ohio, volunteers for k short time, whom Ge
neral Harrison/denominated “beef-eaters.”
It appears, indeed,'to have been an invaria
ble rule with him. to disparage theOluo, and
flatter the ■Kentucky troo'ps. - A portion o(
the troops was pushed qn to what was after
wards, called Fort Defiance; another portion
Was left at Camp Jennings, and others still
j nearer the frontier, at St. Mary’s. At Fort
Defiance Gen. H. .made a flattering, dema
gogical speech to his half starved and half
clad Kentuckian?, and promising to hasten,
oft supplies of. provisions, departed for the
interior by way of. Fort Jennings. , His de
parture was occasioned by the discovery that
he could not legitimately dispossess General.
Winchester, a U. S. ofiicer, of the command,
although he had succeeded'in spreading dis
affection among Gen’l, W’s. soldiers. Ar
riving at Fort Jennings; he called the officers
together in a tent, and endeavored to prevail
on them to sign a memorial to the Secretary
of War, representing himself as the choice
of the officers and soldiers of the army. The'
late Samuel McKee, then a member of Con
gress, a man of unerring sagacity and deci
ded -firmness, was requested to draw up the.
memorial. Understanding the character of
the intrigue and regarding it as nothing short
of mutiny, he commenced it thus: "At the
request of. Gen, Harrison, we &c.” This of
course knocked the whole affair in the head,
and the .vile intrigue was thus for a time de
feated. . Gen’l. Harrison, however, was not
to be foiledj and being a militia officer, he
finally succeeded In ingratiating himself with
a sulficieiif number of the volunteers to se
-Icui'e, through their representations to their
members of Congress, the long sought for
command. Ten of them ndwlive to deplore
their folly. ,
Gen’l. Harrison retired to Ohio, and sta
tioned himself at Franklinton, immediately
opposite to Columbus, Jhe present scat of
Government of that State, leaving his “own
Kentuckians’’ to suftey and starve ini the
wilderness. 'He had ordered the regiment
of dragoons under Simrall, and the-U. States
dragoons under Maj. Sail to Franklinton.—
Surrounded by a glittering staff and comfqrt-1
ably quartered at a" good. Inn, indulging in
such practices as a recurrence to, a file of
Gaidner’s paper, then published at Frank
lintoh, will expose, lie wiled away his time.
Finally compelled to make ■some disposition
of tht troops at Franklinton, exposed as they
were - at the Worst season, he projected an
expedition to.Mtssissinlwa,-an Indian town
on the Wabash. The command was confi
ded to Col. Campbell, of the U. S. Army
and a Kentuckian. After enduring unparal
leled .privations, the expedition’returned to
Dayton, Ohio, and was discharged.
Gen. Harrison was now no nearer the at
tainment of the great object aimed at, the
redaction of Malden, than at the commence
ment, of the expedition. The period for
which.the Kentucky troops had enlisted was
nearly completed, and dissatisfied with the
false policy that had been pursued, they de
manded, of their commander, Gen. Winches
ter, to be-led on to battle. Co)..Lewis pro
ceeded with a detachment to the river Rai
sin, where he met and defeated adetachment
of British troops. Gen’l. Winchester soon
after joined the force undcvCol. Lewis, and
ah cypress was despatched, to apprise Gen’l.
Harrison of what had occurred, and to ask
to sustain the position they had gained. He
could have rendered the adequate aid; but he
had no intention of permitting .Winchester
to reap laurels at his expanse, and he with
held it: -i
The result is written in blood, and Ken
tucky-mouriis the-loss of five-hundred of her
bravc sons immolated to Harrison’s Jealous
hatred of Winchester! •
Gen’l. Harrison heard of the defeat and
capture of Winchester’s command,.at the
■Rapids,-when in possession of a force that
coqld have looked down all opposition; yet
he piled up and burned immense quantities
of public property, accumulated there at vast
expense for the use of the army, and .com
menced a cowardly retreat, to the interior,
Spreading alarm even-to Chillicothe. The
effect of these disasters no language can ade
quately describe. -‘“7 : .
In turn the British Invaded oar territory,
and assailed fort-Stephenson, -commanded by
Maj. Croghan (now a Col. in-U. S. A.) with
120 men, seconded by Capt. Hunter, Incuts.
Johnson and Anthony (now. dead) Lieut.
Duncan,-la\e Whig Governor of Illinois, and
Ensign Ship.- Gen. Harrison was at. Sene
ca, within 12 miles of the Fort, vvith a suffi
cient force to have destroyed at a blow the
entire detachment of British that fnade the
attack-. Yet he ordered Croghan to abandon
his post and to retreat. Deeming this im
practicable, the little Spartan band stood
their ground, and cut to pieces and defeated
the whole British detachment ! During all
this Gen. Harrison, with, a forcfe'fully ade
quate to have annihilated the assailants at
nnce, was packing up his stores &c. to burn,
preparatory to a rapid retreat. To consum
mate this act of cowardice he ordered the
arrest of Major Croghan and-his trial- by
Court Martial for disobeyingthednstardly
order- to retreat; for Which disobedience,
however, that 'gallant officerreceived the
thanks of Cotigress.
; Disaster-crowding Upon disaster the patri
otic Governor Shelby determined to take
the field in person, arid called for volunteers
from ibis State” Mpre. than were required
promptly .flocked to his standard. Thesuc
ccss of Perry on the Lakes, was followed bv
an' immediate invasion of Canada. • The
troops landed on the ashes of Malden and
proceeded to Sandwich. Here a counsel of
War was held." "Gen. -Desha and'Cok Me--

seh arid his Indian warriors on the, left. A
consultation was held, &hen Gen. Harrison
proposed his plan of action. Col. R. M.
Johnson,’commanding 1000 mounted gun
men was ordered to charge the entire Brit-'
i“h force, while Gen’l. Harrison held in re
serve ■3OOO Kentucky Infantry and some re
gulars. '
Col, R. M. Johnson, regarding the'charge
upon the Indians as attended with more dan-"
ger than.that upon the British, prevailed up
on his not less gallant and more.experienced
brother (who had a large family.) to take
command of the right wing while he led the
left._ Success ws know usually stamps the
mefit of an action; but we ask candid men
to review Il>e facts in this case, and then an
swelr whether it does not crown the series of
Gen. Harrison’s blunders. The Indians ahd
British .were both, as we are informed by
one who was in the engagement,. upon a
swampy, heavy timbered soil, protected by
much fallen timber. Col. Johnson’s men
were armed with muskets and- yagers only,
and mounted upon jaded horses. They were
required to break through a compact force,
of British troops; and to dislodge 1500 In
dians from behind trees. The first succeed
ed, because Procters previous crimes and
his mistaken estimate of the assailing force
made him a coward, and his troops offered !
no real resistance. Col. R;M, 'johnson.and.
many of his officers and men down
after a display of great gallantry,tfie Indians

What candid man will claim for the jlr
■ rangement of this action any evidence of
generalship? Men required to charge a com
-pact force of British, and a concealed force

Mere ended Gen. Harrison’s, military ca
reer, he having resigned his commission in
the middle of the war’. Where in his whole
career do we find evidences of the skill or
bravery which should entitle him to the dis
tinguishcd appellation of Hero?- Is it in the
want of decision"and foresight by,which he
.suffered himself to be duped, surprised, and
his bravest troops slaughtered in their tents
at Tippecanoe? Is it in the affair of the
River Raisin where 500 gallant Kentuckians
ivere sacrificed to his jealousy of Winches
■ ter? Is it in his shameful retreat which fol
lowed, spreading consternation throughout
Ohio? Is it at fort Stephenson, where he
ordered a cowardly retreat, when a handful
of 120 men under Croghan conquered and
! beat back the foe? Is it in his uncessful ex
pedition to the Wabash#; In bis timid-inac
tion and profligate indulgence at Franklin
i ton? In his ill-arranged action at the Thames
in which the superior bravery and daring en
ergy of (hose under him Ulone secured the
victory? These-are his exploits, and Hea
ven knows we would not detract one iota
from the merits of the man who has served
his country, blit wliat are they? Exhibiting
on every occasion and underall circUmstan- :
ees the total and absolute incompetency of
Gen. Harrison as a commanding general
r—the absence of every essential qualifica
tion which constitutes the military hero.—
Yet this is the man, whom those who use
i him, denominate “n second Washington /”
| Heaven save the memory of the Father of
his country from the deep profanation of a.
comparison with the imbecile exploits of him
of Tippecanoe!
We lately published, an -extraordinary
document which is now going the rounds of
the papers, purporting to be a cony of the
"Death VVarrantof Jesps Christ.”' We had
not much faith in- its authenticity, but con

tively harmless.

Star, who is of-the Jewish persuasion, pro
nounces it & forgery. In his article upon

wpuld riot'expect from a Jew, and which we

“Jesus of Nazareth, considered as a man
and not in a spiritual sense, was a reformer.
He appeared at a time' when the Jewish na
tion were encompassed by.troubles—divided
among themselves, thei r country.in the power
of the Romans, and'their, energies’almost
broken down by grief and vexation. Calam
ity and internal dissensions, made them sus
picious and distrustful—their tempers soured
and their strict sense of justicd blunted by
accumulated misfortune. In this position
Jesus found them and preached reformation
—He denounced men- in high "places—he
pointed out what he concciyfed to be vibla
tions and evasions of the laws—he mingled j
temporal and spiritual' afTairs. spoke as the
vipe»gerent of the highest powers : and- by
miracles, prophecies,.moral doctrines, great
self-denials and meekness, him
followers or disciples of chacK’tcf'j'hrmness
and ability, , who created great alarm among
the Priesthood, and they determined to get
rid of him. He was not tried or condemned
strictly under the Mosaic laws. - His arrest
was;in the night,.and consequently illegal,
and. the trial, and conderanatiop ;wcre.not in
strict conformity to the laws., we look upon
these eventadn these free and enlightened
times with, the eye of ;phUesophy aha
dominating love nf truthSf'No one, can-read
thVtriail ,ot Jesus of Nazareth, without com
ing to ,the conclusion that he was sacrificed,
not by the Jews, but by Pontius Pilate. ;the
Roman Govqrnor.who, alone, had -the pow
er of condemning to death. Be was accused
by the people, and some of the'Jgwish priests;
but the proof of this accusetiori PUato-him-
-and.
i '
even after Jesus had refused to defend hirrr
self, he would have dismissed the case had
he not beeti taunted with the declaration that
ho was no friend of Cmsar’s if lie allowed
Jesus, to escape. The loreof office, the
curse pf ipen.even to'this day, overcame his
love of justice, and he, cowardly and treach
erously, handed him over.himself to execu
tion, , - ’
I here Vras tio "great and notorious evi
dence of the people” on this trial,—it was a
simple accusation which Pilate could have
dismissed possessing the highest judicial and
executive powers, had, his love of justice pre
dominated over his love of interest and office.
Bu.t so it was to lie, for wise and inscrutable
purposes. Caiaplias, the High Priest, said
“it was expedient that one man should die
for the people;” and the truth is that the
death of Jesus, occurring at the time it did,
preserved the nation to this day. Persecu
tion Unites—while toleration weakens. The
death of Jesus was visited; in the early ages,
severely on the heads of the Jews. Such
has been the violence—iritojerapee—cruelty
—prejudice-, and sacrifice of life, by lire and
sword, that the Jewish people concentrated,
lit the time, in one spot, and left to the haz
ard of decay, like the 'Grcek and Homans,
the Modes and Persians were, fromthis e
vent, and .according to prophecy, united by
common ties of misfortune, more numerous
and potent at this moment in their disper
sion, than thay were, in the most glorious
days of Solomon. Equally, important and
beneficial was the death of Jesusto the civ
ilized world—it gave that world a liberal and
enlightened religion—obscure and misunder
stood in its progress; hut, since the Refor
mation, coming out bright and intellectual.
The Jews never should have suffered for the
agency they had in the death of Jesiis of Naz
areth, If he was the Son of God, then‘'the
Jews were mcre'instruinents in the bands of
a higher power to bring about the inscrutable
decree or divine Providence,” , .
CITY. Jan. 14. 1840.
. .In the Senate this morning:, the He n. Hugh
L. White, read a letter ho had addressed to
the legislature of the State of Tenhe_ssee,
resigning his seat as a Senator. The fetter
and almost in so many words denounces the
Legislature of Tennessee for instructing him
out of office. -He is required by the Legis
lature of Tennessee to vote for the Sub-
Treasury Bill, but as he is not inclined to
do so, he resigns, and for.the remainder of
his days'is to lay up in lavender, on his farm
in East Tennessee.
The Judge is a very respectable.eld gen
tle‘man,.and. ifJic had nut,.in the year isns.
got entangled in a very unlucky alliance
with Mr. John Bell, he might have lived
many years in the enjoyment of the honors
and the confidence of the people of Tennessee
but, as it is, he is doomed to the shades of
retirement & forgetfulness. Poor old Judge!
I phylum; and regret that he is in his old age,
subject to sorrows and disappointments.
After•Mr.Scnator White’s letter had been
read,
Mr. Grundy of Tenliesssc, rose and said
a few words. He Voted against the Sub-
Treasury Bill last jeer because tht Legisla
ture of instructed him to do so.
If now instructed him to vote fob that Bill,
and he should obey, c
The Bill for the Armed Occupation of
Florida, was now called up, and
Mr, Benton of Me. rose, and went info a,
long argument in favor of the passage of the
bill./ He was on the floor when I closed.
In the House, Mr. Pickens of South Car-
olina, by unanimous consent, replied to an
attack made in the -Madisonian newspaper,
on the “Calhoun Nullifiers,” charging them
with having been engaged in a coalition with
tho Globe, to elect Blair & Rives, Printers
of the House of Representatives,'through a
bargain with'Gen. Dull’ Green.
Mr. Pickens pronounced-the" whole charge
in the 'Madisonian a tissue of vile'and base
falsehoods.

floor, and went on to conclude a speech on
