ftv abandoning she mrrtsines, so wise, so ,jj C ent, so successful, and so popular, which -Went Administration has pursued. I j, e ilow-citizcns, we have all sober and imp -r jnt duties to pel form. I have not addressed you j .Jay for the purpose of joining in a premature „ ote of tii !|rr »t h, °f raising a shout for anticipated vifvries. We are in tiic controversy, not through j; It is our duty to spare no pains to ciiCalate in formation, and to spie id the truth, far and wide, let us persuade those Who dilfer from us, if we can, to hear both sides. Let us rernin I them that are all cm arkrd together, with a common in terest and a common late : and let us, without re t,u,e or unkindness, beseech them to consider what the good of the whole requires, what is best for them aad for in. There are two causes which keep back thousands of honest men fioinjoi.ing those who wish fora change. The first of these is the fear of reproach from former associates, and the pain which party deuun .jition is capable of inflicting. Hut, surely, the manliness of the American character is superior to this! Surely, no American citizen will feel him ,elf chained to the wheels of any party', nor bound o follow it, against his conscience, and his sense )fthe inte rest of the country. Resolution and de ision ought to dissipate such restraints, and to men free at once to act upon their ow con ations. Unless this can be done, party has en vied upon us a miserable slavery, by compelling a , to act -against our consciences, on questions of the greatest importance. 'flic other cause is the constant cry that the par of the Administration is the true Democratic party, or the more popular party, in the Govern ment, and in the country. The falsity of this >!aiin lias not been sufficiently exposed, it should iuve been met, and should be now met, not only hv denial, but by proof. If they mean the new democracy, the cry against credit, again-t indus try, agaimt labor, against a man’s right to leave HfVown earnings to his own children —why, then, doubtless, they are right; all this sort of Democ flj racy is theirs’. But if by Democracy they mean a I conscientious and stern adherence to the true popu- I jar principles of the Constitution and the Govern- I meat, then I think they hue very litt e claim to I it Is the augmentation of Executive power a De- I mocratic principle ? Is the separation of the cur- I rcucy of Government from the currency of the people a Democratic principle ? Is the embodying I of a largo military force, in time of peace, a Dcmo * cratic principle ? Let us enueat honest men not to take names for things, nor pretences for proofs. If Democracy, in a nv constitutional sense, belongs to our adversaries, ; let them show their title, and produce their evi | dencc. Dot the question be examined ; and let not intelligent and well-meaning citize’s be kept f to the support of measures, winch in their hearts and consciences they disapprove, bee mse their au thors put forth such loud claims to tiie sole profes sion of regard for the people. Fellow-cit’zens of the County of Saratoga—ln taking leave of you, 1 cmnot but remind you how distinguishe 1 a place your County occupies in the history of the country. I cannot be ignorant,that iathe midst of you are many, at this moment, who saw in this neighborhood the triumph of Republi can arms,in the surrender of Gen. Bingo;, nc. 1 can not doubt, that a fervent spiral of patriotism burns in their breasts, and in the breasts of their chil dren. They helped to save their count.y amidst the storms of war, they will help to save it 1 am fully persuaded, in the present severe civil crisis. Fellow citizens, I verily believe it is true, that of all that are left to us from the Revolution, nine tenths are with us, in the existing contest. If there be living a Revolutionary officer, or soldier, who has joined in the attacks upon Gen. Harrisons military character, I have not met with him. It is not, therefore, in the County of Saratoga, that a cause sustained by such means is likely to prevail. Fellow citizens, the great question is now before the country. If with the experience of the past, the American people think proper to confitm pow erin the hands which now hod it, and thereby sanction the leading policy of the Administration, it will be your duty and mine to bow, with sub mission to the public will ; but for myself, I shall not belive it possible for me to be of service to the countrv, in any department of public life. I shall look on, with no less love of country than ever, but with fearful forebodings of what may be near ! at hind. But,fellow-citizens, I do not at all expect that result. I fullv believe that change is coming. If we all do our duty, we shall restore the Govern ment to its former prosperity. And let us here, to day, feliow-cititizens, with full resolut.on and pa triotic purpose of heart, give and take pledges, that until this great controversy be ended, our time, our talents, our efforts, arc all due, and shall all be faithfully given, to our country. From the New Orleans Picayune. Latest from Texas. "Battle with the Camanches — The Texians Vic torious. By the arrival of the schooner Yew Tree, from Galveston, we have an Extra of the Daily Couri er of the 20th insl., from which we glean the fol lowing intelligence. The news was received at Galveston direct from Austin, and is contained in a communication from Maj. Gen. Felix Hus ton, of the Texas Militia, to the Hon. Branch T. Archer, Secretary of War. The communication is dated “On Plumb Creek, 3 miles West of Good’s, Aug. 12, 1540.” The General says— “l arrived on yesterday evening, and found Capt. Caldwell encamped on Plum!) Creek with about 100 men. This morning I was requested to take the command, which I did, and organized them into companies. About six o’clock, A. M. the spies reported that the Indians were approach ing. I crossed above the trail about three miles, and passed down on the west side; on arriving near the trail I was joined by Col. Burleson with about UlO men. I immediately formed into two lines, the right commanded by Col. Burleson, and the left commanded by Capt Caldwell, with a reserve commanded by Major Hardiinan, with Capt. Ward’s company. <*n advancing near the Indians they formed for action, with a front of woods on their right, (widen they occupied) their lines extending near a quarter of a mile in to the prairie. I dismounted my men, and a handsome lire was opened—the Indian Chiefs curveting around in splendid style, on front and flank, finely mounted, and dressed in all the splendor of Camaucbe warfare; at this lime several Indians fell from their horses, and we had three or four men wounded. Finding that the Indians were disposed to keep at a distance, and that a large body were assembled in the woods, I ordered Col. Burleson, with the right wing, to move around the point of woods, and Capt. Cald well, with the h ft wing, to charge into the woods, which movements were executed in gallant style, i’he Ind ans did not stand the charge, and lied at all points; from that time there was a warm and spirited pursuit for 15 miles; the Indians scattered, mostly abandoning their horses and faking to thiekels. Nothing could exceed the animation of the men, and the cool and steady manner in which they would dismount, and de hver their fire. Upwards of 10 Indians were kill 'd— two prisoners (a squaw and a child) taken ; we have taken upwards of 2UO horses and mules, , many of them heavily packed with the plunder of hinuiville and the lower country. We have lost otle killed and seven wounded—one mortally. I L annot speak too highly of the Colorado, Gauda fupe and Lavacca militia, assembled so hastily to gether, and without organization, I was assisted Major Izod, Col. Bell, and Captain Neill, as 'mliintecr aids, all of whom rendered essential I believe we have given the Camanches a Wson which they will long remember; near duo ol their bravest warriors have been defeated half their number, and I hope and trust that this will be the last of their depredations on our frontier. On to-morrow I contemplate embody lfl? as many men as 1 can, and ifwe have a suffi- Cle nt number of good horses, pursue the Indians, to she hopes that we may overtake them betoic toey reach the mountains.” The amount of tolls received on all the New •°rk Slate Canals during the third week in august is fiitytwo thousand, nine hundred and sixty-three dollars, and seventy cents. | I , The account current of Mr. Van Buren's four years of financiering may be easily settled.

By John A Jeter, Trooper—Martin Van Bu ren, the advocate of free negro suffrage—his vote upon the Missouri Restriction, and his recent ap proval of free negro testimony, in the case of J/icut Hooe, define pretty accurately, the real sentiments of this “Northern man with Southern feelings.” Gkxeral Ha it ii isox’s Resignation.— The following extract is taken from a letter addressed to Gen. Harrison, in May, 1814, by his military stall’on learning his determination to resign his commission. After speaking of the triumph achieved by Gen. H. and of “ the blessings im parted by him to a frontier where there had been no peace for twenty years,” they say : Although your country has a right to claim your assistance in her struggles, and you are bound to afford it upon honorable principles, and however your retirement may deprive her of her gratest chieftain, yet, un !cr existing circum stances. we c mint but approve your determina tion. Deprived, as you arc , of the most impor tant prerogatives attached to your commission, without the exercise of which no officer could serve with honor to himself or advantage to his country , and acting, as you lately have done, un der circumstances having no parallel in military usage, it became the first General in the nation to protest against the innovation, and, if possi ble, arrest the progress of a system equally novel and dangerous,and unquestionably the cause of the failure, defeats and disgraces of the army. The dignified forbearance which marks your con duct under present difficulties is a satisfaction to your friends, and your country will approve your motives, when she is informed of the causes which have compelled you to resign. But a lit t’e while, and the inducements to conceal your motives will cease to exist. Then an impartial world will delight to rank you with Fabiua and Washington.” From the Army and Navy Chronicle. Autograph Letter of Christopher Co ! tu.M hus. —An officer of the United Sta’es Navy, during his recent ciuise in the Mediterranean, ob tained from the American Consul at Genoa, a copy of a translation from the Spanish language into the English of an autograph letter of Chris topher Columbus, dated the 11th April, 1502, ad dressed to the Bank of S. George, at Genoa. Where, or when this letter was discovered, or in j whose possession it may be, we are not informed; 1 nor is that of any material consequsnce. As a J reminiscence of the discoverer of this continent, it posscses an interest for all readers that will war rant its insertion in our columns. In transmit ting it to a gentleman in Washington, the officer 1 to whom we have alluded, observes: “ I feel confident, from the long residence and high esteem in which Mr. Champbell, our much honored Consul at Genoa, is held, that he could not have been easily deceived as to the correct ness of the original autngraphical letter, of which the enclosed is a copy.” [On the outside of the cover in which the let ter was found folded, is this inscription.
