BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS OF MAJOR
GENERAL WILLIAM HENRY
HARRISON

WHETHER he who. BY the mere force of
his own native talents and personal exer-
tons, has emerged from obscurity and
humble birth to honours, wealth, and dis
tinction--or he who, born to all the advan-
tages Of opu!ence and splendid descent,
performs actions which tend rather to aug
ment, than to impair his family stock of
honour, possesses tho higher claim to
praise, is a question upon which the opiu-
ions of mankind are likely to be forever d.
vlded. If we look for authorities upon
which to decide, to the corps Of biograph-
ers, we shall find them alternately adopting
and rejecting either side as it appears to be
more or less favourable to the particular
subject upon which they are at the time
employed, and with plability of taste and
a spirit Of accommodation, which do equal
credit to their ingenuity and good nature,
no less animated and eloquent in setting
otto advantage the superior merits Of the
hero or the sage, who has sprung into dis
tincton from the humble truckle-bed Of
poor, but honest parents, than earnest 10

we're born under canopies Of state, and

PROSPECTUS OF THE
POLITICAL REFORMER.
BY TIIEoPHILUS FISK.


YWYHE great political contest now wag-
H. ing this country, is one that involves
the dearest rights Of man. 1t is strug-
gle between the friends of federalism, the
advocates Of abolition, the champions Of
privileged fraud, on the one hand, and the
friends of freedom, republican equality
and political justice, on the other. 1t a
contest of too vast importance to admit Of
neutrality or time-serviDg expectancy; its
momentus consequences demand the I'M
ceasing energies Of free people.
To endeavour to perpetuate our glorious
institutions, to hand them down unimpared
to those who shall succeed US, will be the
primary object Of the Political Reformer.
TO this end the editor viii wage uncom-
promising warfare with the friends Of a
National Bank, high protective Tariff,
all schemes of internal improvement by
the General Government, and above all
and more than all, with the iLcendiaries Of
our land, who rally under the banner of
Abolition. We shall zealously support
the reelection Of Martin Van Buren, to
the Presidency Of this proud Republic,
and equally jealous and untiringly shall
oppose the designs in progress to make the
federal abolitionist, Gen. Harrison, the
first officer in this nation. We should
esteem his success as the most bIighting
and alarming which could belall this
happy land.
CONDITIONS,
The Political Retormer will be PUBLISH
ed weekly until the next Presidential
election, at the almost unprecedented low
price of Fifty Gents for a single copy |:
eleven copies for Five Dollars; twentye
three copies for Ten Dollars; payable IN
erery instance in adpance.

M HE subscriber in appealing TO a
generous public to sustain him in his I'M
dertaking, is aware of the Numerous diff
culties against which he will have 10 con-
tend. but with firm resolution, and de-
yotednecs 10 his business, he feels conf.
dent OF overcoming them.
The idea o. starting paper at the
South, devoted entirely 10 the subject Of
music, may appear novel and visionary
but with little reflection il wall be found
such work is much needed in This Sec
ton of our country. The Norlhhas gone
far ahead of us in this useful ano delight
iui science, and it is no doubt owing TO
the existence Of their numerous Journals
through whose columns the principles Of
Music are simplifed and brough, within
the comprehension Of juvenile learners.
II is true there are many valuable books
written on the subject of Music, but they
are not written in style TO be understood
by that class standing more in need of IN
struction-l mean scholars. To depend
Ing altogether on the labors Of the teacher
is depending on too much, 1t is not like
learning grammar or history, where the
pupil has text book to which 10 refer.
The teacher gives instruction one day
which is forgotten the next. So it will
be the aim Of the Editor of the HARP to
make the science as easy as possible, BY
leading the pupil on gradually from the
elementary 10 more difficult branches of
Musical Science.
Fee columns of the HARP will be open
to all communications on the subject of
MUSIC, whether OF a sacred or secular ma
ture.
Each number will contain one or more
peIces OF original or selected Music, for
the Piano, Guitar or Flute: Church Mu-
sic will also find place in our columns.
Thus the HARP will be welcome visitor
to the pupil, the amateur and the religious
community.
HE HARP will be issued semi.monthly
printed on fine paper, in royal quarto form
like the Augusta Mirror, and furnished
to subscribers on The following
TERMS.

ACURIOUS DOCUMENT.

A gentleman of the highest responsibility, says
the editor of the Louisville Journal, has sent us
the annexed document, which he vouches for as
genuine. It was handed to him by one of the
signers of it, half breed Indian and relative
of Iecumseh.
COUNCIL BLUFF, 23d March, 1S40
I To GENERAL HARRIsoN'S FRIENDs.-The other
day, several newspapers were brought to us, and
peeping over them, to our establishment we find
the Hero of the late war called coward. This
would have surprised the tall braves, Tecumseh
Of the Shawnees and Round Head andWalk in
the Water of the Wyandots. If the departed
could rise again, they would say to the white man
that General Harrison was the terror OF the. late
tomahawl1ers. The first time we got acquainted
with General Harrison, it was at the council fire
of the late old Tempest (Gsleral Wayne at
Greenville on the head waters of the Wabash,
1876. From that period until 1911 we had many
friendly smokes with him, but from 1872 we
changed our tobacco smoke into powder smoke
then we found Gen. Harrison was brave
warrior and humane to his prisoners-as reported
to us by two of Tecumseh's young men who was
taken in the feet with Captain Barclay ON the
10th September 1S13-and on the Thames where
he routed both the British and red men, and where
he showed his courage and his humanity to his
prisoners beth White and Red-report OF Adam
Brown and family taken the morning of the battle,
5th October, 1873 We are the only two survi-
wing of that day in this country. We hope the
good White men will protect the name of General
Harrison.
We remain your friends forever,
CHAMBLEE, Aid to Tecumseh,
b. CALDWELL. Captain.
