GENERAL G AINES.
VTe publish in to-days paper a letter of Gene
ral Gaines, who has been ordered to the frontiers
on the Texas line, calling on Gov. White of Lou
isiana to furnish him with a brigade of mounted
men, to aid him in forcing the Indians,who have
gone over the Texas line, to return to the United
States. The General has been induced to assume
this responsibility, because he deems that the ne
cessary delay which would be occasioned by con
sulting the President, and awaiting his answer
would be ruinous to the white citizens on both
sides of the lint.
MRS. HART’S P.ENNEFIT.
To-morrow evening, is set apart by the powers
that dispose of such events, as sacred to the bene
fit of Mrs. Haut ; and the public will be pleased
to learn that the most indefatigable exertions are
being made to render the occasion one of all-sur
passing interest. In addition to the efforts of the
regular dramatic corps, those of the celebrated
Messrs. Major and Sc mi dt, as musicians,and
the far-famed Diavolo am, sons, as dancers', have
been engaged to augment the entertainment; and
wo feel warranted in saying that neither attention
nor expense will be spared, to gratify the curious,
humor the humorous, and provide a rich feast for
thought and reflection. T'm pieces selected, arc
the tragedy of Sir William Wallace, or the Scot
tish Chieftons, and the comedy of Perfection, ox
the Maid of Munster, —selections which must at
once enlist for the evening, the feelings of every
lover of the Drama; for we presume that in this
land, where the love of liberty is alike the dower
of all —high and low, rich and poor—there beats
not a heart but will quicken its throb, at the bare
mention of the name of Scotia’s gallant, but un
fortunate chiefton.
We feel assured, from the known liberality and
generousness, of the Augusta public, to those
tvho labor in its service, that a pride will bo taken
in meeting the liberal motives of Mrs. Haut
With those of a like kind, and causing her vigil
ant efforts to please, to redound highly to her own
interest and satisfaction.
The benefit of Mr. Youno, a veteran of the
stage of no little repute, will also lake place some
time this week. Friday night, it is said.
THE CONSTITUTION A LIST.
This print is ogt f ull tilt against the Troup
party of Georgia, for their opposition to the
tneasurcs of Gen. Jackson and the election of
Martin Vax Buken. Mr. Guieu, that very
pink of peffcclion and paragon of consistcn cy,
informs us, or rather asks, “ where are the princi
ples of the Troup party, when they oppose Gen.
Jackson ! ” And has it come to this, that the
opposition to Gen. Jackson is a violation of prin
ciple! Is the support of Gen Jackson the mea
sure of Mr. Gcieo’s principles'! We are told
by this gentleman, that “it would have been
more natural for the Troup party of Georgia, to
have become the strongest and most zealous ad
vocates of the present Administration,” be
cause, forsooth, “Gen. Jackson has out of four
Secretaries of Suite, appointed three who were
originally Cravvfoul men.” We are aware that
j the unworthy and unprincipled portion of the
I Troup party, who were, at one time, apparently,
“ the Strongest and most zealous advocates ” of
the administration of Gov. Troup, have been in
duced to abandon their principles and forsake
their party, for the hope of reward; hut depend
; upon it, Mr. Guieu, that that baud of patriots
, who have stood firmly by Georgia in her darkest
hour of tribulation and distress, who have sup
-1 ported her through evil and good report, will not
’ now abandon her and forsake their principles fui
the reward of office or the hepfcAhoreolq and ul
• tho’ their ranks may be tinned, by the desertion
> of the selfish and corrupt, they have gained in
’ moral, what they have lost in numerical strength
1 Devoted to their principles, untrammelled by the
■ selfishness of office seekers, their united ener
gies are directed to the preservation of their
rights guaranteed by the constitution, and which
f Mr. Van Buren and his party arc doing all in
j their power to subvert.
Since, however, the Constitutionalist has ehar
, ged the Troup party, with acting inconsistanlly in
opposing the measures of President Jackson, we
ask for the proof. Show us when or where Gen.
Jackson has maintained the same principles that
characterized Gov. Troup’s administration. If
you can do this, Mr. Guieu, vve will then be
lieve you are sincere.
CINCINNATI RAILROAD.
We have of late hoard the question asked, why
his Excellency Gov. Schley, has not complied
with the act of the last legislature, authorizing
him to cause a survey to be made of the great
Western Railroad route, intended to connect the
West with the Atlantic. To us his negligence
seems inexcusable. The act of the legislature,
we believe, imposed no restrictions upon him
whatever; but gave him full authority to have
the survey made, without limiting him to the
amount of the cost. He, however, has taken it
upon himself to disregard this act of the legisla
ture, and the time is now so near at hand, when
the convention is to he held to determine upon
the route, that a survey cannot now be made, be
fore the convention will moot, and thus is Georgia
likely to bo deprived of the great and manifest
advantages that would have accrued to her by hav
ing this road to pass through the Stale.
It will be remembered that when this subject
was fust introduced into the legislature, it was op
, posed by certain gentlemen from the lower scc
, tion of the state, who were the political friends of
the Executive, and we have no doubt but for the
influence ol these gentlemen, the survey would
have been made ere this, and the fact clearly de
monstrated that the route through Georgia is de
cidedly the most practicable, independent of the
advantage of the road from this place to Athens,
which it is certain will soon he completed
This is the effect of placing a man in the Ex
ecutive chair,who cannot raise himself above par
ty influence, when the prosperity and wealth of
tho state is to he promoted—a man whose mind
cannot be elevated with the elation he fills, or ex
panded with the sphere of his duties.
For ourselves we knew the caliber of the man,
and expected nothing better of the Executive.
The only hope we have left, is, that the people
will assemble, and nominate delegates to attend
the convention, which is to determine the route
of this toad. If the citizens of this place will
move in this matter, there is no doubt hut their
example will ho speedily followed; and by ap
p> inting one of her distinguished citizens, whose
eminent abilities, varied acquirements, and prac
-1 tical mind, point him out as the one, of all others,
■ best qualified to secure for this city and the state
1 those advantages which have been so utterly dis
- regarded by the present Executive of Georgia.

A CHAPTER ON ELECTIONS.
We wore aboutto exclaim Glorious Victory.
and we will exclaim so. It is a glorious victory
, as it is the overthrow of the Van Buren party in
, this city) not so much through llih exertions of
the Whigs as a growing impression among the
Jackson men (hat Mr. Van Buren and his associ
ates are incompetent to manage tho affrirs of the
country. The leading Whig politicians have
been nearly all wholly inactive at the recent elec
-1 tion, but we found a silent, deep and cool deter
[ ruination manifested by many of the old Democra
tic patty, to slop the current of corruption which
their leaders, for selfish purposes, have been sprea
f ding over the land. We hear it discussed at cor
ners, and spoken of boldly in the public places,
, by old Democrats, that the Surplus Revenue shall
‘ be distributed among the Slates for the benefit of
! the people, and that if Van Bnren, Beriton, and
; others hope to_use it for party purposes, or to cs
, tahlish a standing army over them, they arc de
termined to resist it.
The first step has been manifested in the result
of the city election, and we have a right to rejoice
r at it; it is a victory of principle ; hut we should
, have been most happy if the Whigs had taken a
more active part in it.
5 Therefore, commend us to freedom of election
s after all—the right to designate our rulcts—Glo
r rions privilege! how many lives have been lost,
and how iriany heads broken, and how much time
r and money spent to establish the elective fran
‘ chise. We have got it; it is really ours; our pride;
1 our boast, and the glory of all our fourth of July
orations, hut wo dont use it; we set no value on
it; it is tossed in a corner like old lumber ; fike a
thing to he spoken of; not acted upon ; we have
got the reputation of living in a republic, and that
is all that seems to be cared for; the reality, the
confirmation, the actual enjoyment of this bless
ing, are mere matters of moonshine now-a-days.
’ Let us see;—our Evening Star has been nearly
three years shining,—or trying to shine if you
please, in the political firmament; in which time,
we have fought adozen political campaigns, spring
and fall, winter and summer, ding-dong, slash
dash; we have been at it sans intertniasiort, with a
good and glorious cause, an intelligent, liberal and
C powerful parly, and we Have always been fortu
nate enough to he -beaten.
e The Whigs, God Mess them, talked well, rca
i snned well, spoke well but have an linconqucra
s hie aversion to vole. Ever since the battle of
Vinegar Hill, in the Sixth Ward, in 1814, they
1 have fought shy of the ballot boxes of this dt
e rcction ! Now, at the recent election, when vic
c lory was in their grasp, perched on their banner
when they could easily have carried the whole
lT election, you might as well have moved the moun
e tain that declined coming to Mahomet, as to have
~ brought the Whig party en masse to the polls—
° an ,j what is the consequence 1 We have at best a
t j e that is, tied ourselves up, and tied np our
opponents.
We met Dick Trifle on the first day, coming
out of the American Hotel, as neat as if he came
out of a ban-box. “Well, my dear fellow, said
he, “how comes on the election 1” “It would
I c une on very well, if you would go and vote,
f “Vote? why, how can vou ask it—look at the
mud n the streets—what a pickle I should he in
before 1 reached the polls.”—“You have voted, I
hope!” said we to a merchant of eminence, who
had been most active in 1834. “Why, no,” said
ho—“where is the use of it 1 we Shall ha beaten
—I am also ovef]ioW'ered with business, besides
p wo all like Mr. Lawrence; he is whig enough for
us, agrees with us on cardinal points, and we can
not do belter than to let him go in.” “Harkoo
1 Shuffle, well met; tuck yourself under my arm,
and lets go the polls.” “Can’t think of it; en
gaged to dine with Col. Cucumber; plenty of the
Black Cork and Barhadocs; fifty-four dollars a
' dozen; worth all tho elections in tho world. “A
word, only one word,” said we to Caleb Cash; as
, he was tearing down Wall street, “have you vo-
I ted?” “Voted? vote the devil; here am I wilh a
handful of tho best notes in tho Market, must get
them shaved by three o’clock; Money two and
f three per cent a mouth; no good Christian would
ask a whig to vote in such times.” “You are in
the Fifth, Mr. Allwise,” said we to a whig of tho
first water, and no doubt active as usual.” “No;
not very active; besides, to ho plain wilh yoU,
Banks, the Tammany candidate, is a very good
man, and I feel bound to vote for him, for the en
hanced valltc he has made in my properly, by wi
dening Chapel street.
Now, these arc a few of tho items which make
1 up tho sum total of defeat, if wo can call it so.
But is this fair treatment to us? Hero we have
1 been bellowing, screaming, squibhing, painting
1 the distresses of the country ill the most melan
choly terms, without moving a third of the hard
hearted Whigs to fly to the rescue, and deposit
their votes in the ballot boxes. For twenty years
1 that we lead the forces of Old Tammany, we ne
. ver set up a screech, that they did not answer with
an awful howl; wc never cried come on, that.they
did not follow, wc never saw the enemy that wc
did not conquer, and it is cruel treatment, thus to
abandon a successful leader, who leaves Ins trium
phant party because they left liberty, law, and the
constitution.—Wc can, it is true, lead our gallant
Whig forces to the banks of the Onithlacoochie,
but, hang it, they won’t cross. What’s to be
done? Shall we turn /.oco-h'oco ? No. Shall we
join the Native Americans? Shall wo take five able
bodied Whigs, dash into Tammany, and turn out
1 the unclean birds, who are feeding there on the
“spoils ?,’ That may happen ere long; at present,
’ we sha I stand on our own ground, stack jour arms,
1 blow the trumpet, when there is danger, and rely
on our own vole, alone, when there is a brisk can
vass; and if every Whig would have done the
same, we should have carried tho whole city.
I Head Quarters, Western Department, 7
Natchitoches, La. Bth April, 1835. i
Sin—The war in Texas, which has of lute as
sumed a sanguinary and savage aspect, had in
. duced the President of the United States to re
i quire a considerable augmentation of regular force
> to bo concentrated upon this section of the nation
-1 1 »1 frontier, to which my attention has been parli
. eularly directed. He deems it to he the duty of
r the United States to remain entirely neutral, and
. to cause their neutrality to bo respected— peacibly
> if practicable —forcibly if necessary,
I The 33d article of the ’Treaty with Mexico rc
• quires both the contracting parties to prevent “by
force all hostilities and incursions on the part of
the Indian nations living within their respective
boundaries, so that the United Slates of America
r will not suffer their Indians to attack the citizens
of the Mexican States,” Sic,
The provisions of this article I am particularly
1 instrusted to cause to be enforced, and I have,
pursuant to instructions, taken measures to make
I known to the various Indian tribes inhabiting that
portion of the United States bordering upon the
i Mexican territory, oh the ’voters of the Red and
, Arkansas rivers, the determination of the govern
t ment to prevent any hostile incursions into Tex
• as, ani have directed that the Chiefs ho called
upon to inculcate upon their people the necessity
i of carefully abstaining from any violation of the
■ above mentioned engagements—and I have niore
t over informed them pursuant to the orders of the
• President, that / wilt not hesitate to use the force
at my disposal for the purpose of preventing
t any such designs.
I have learned from several of our citizens en
titled to credit, that one Manuel Flores, a Mexi
can Spaniard, hut for several years past a citizen of
“ Spanish town” in this State near the Sabine
Ridge, has been lately commissioned by persons
, professing td act by the authority of the Mexican
Government, for the purpose of enticing the In
i' dlans in the western prairies on our side of the
boundary line, to join them in the war of exter
mination now waging in Texas; and that with
this view, the Agent Manuel Flores, accompanied
, by a stranger has lately passed up tho valley of
the Red River, and has already produced consid
erable excitement among the Caddo Indians. And
I have very recently learned from several intelli
gent persons in Texas, and others who hpve lately
been there, that many of our Indians have gone
over to the Texas side of the lino.
These facts a„d circumstances present to me
I the important question—whether I am to sit still
• and suffer these movements to so far mature as
to place the white settlements on both sides of the
Une wholly within the power of the savages —or
whether I ought not instantly to prepare the means
for protecting the frontier settlements, and if ne
cessary, compel the Indians to return to their
j own homes and hunting grounds ?
I cannot hut decide in favour of the last alter
native which this question presents; for nothing
can he more evident than that an Indian war,
commencing on c'ither side of the line, will as
surely extern! to both sides as that a lighted
quick-match thrust into one side of a powder nia
’ gazinc would extend the explosion to both sides.
But I am without mounted men, the only de
scription of force, which will enable me to inter
-1 pose an efficient check to the daily increasing
danger which every intclligentcitizen wilh whom
I have conversed upon the subject, apprehends.
, And apprehending as Ido that the lossof a month,
I which itwould require to submit 'he case to the
. President of the United States, might prove fatal
to a large portion of the frontier inhabitants, I
have determined to solicit of your Excellency, a
j brigade, to consist of two or three battalions of
: volunteers—as many to be mourtted as practica
ble—to repair to this place as soon as may be con
\ venient, by companies or battalions ; to receive
\ their arms and camp equipage at New Orleans
L and Baton Rouge. There may be eight or ten
I mpanies to a battalion.
Should the war in Texas be brought to a close
without the apprehended Indian hostilities, the
volunteers will be discharged forthwith.
With perfect respect,
( I have the honor to be
