GOV. GALUSHA’S SPEECH.
EX TRACTS
From the Speech ol Jonas Galusha,
Esq. Governor of Vermont, deli
vered in October, !) , fore both bran
ches of the Legislature.
“ We have the means of Wealth
and improvement within our own
territory ; and were we to turn our
attention to our internal resources,
and foster our infant manufactures,
the belligerent nations ot Europe
would soon seek our friendship,
court our trade, and render juit re-
tribution tor the injuries they nav<
done us. But notwithstanding all
the privations by foreign powers and
the unhappy divisions among our
selves, we have yet these pleasing
reflection*. Our civil and religious
liberties, bestowed on us bv the God
of nature, and guaranteed by the re
publican institutions of our country,
remain unitnpared. The hand of
industry- is not slackened, and the
poor have not wanted for that cm-
plot ment which has yielded them a
comfortable support. Tne farmers
and mechanics, arc by their improv
ed economy, now discharging those
debts they contracted, wnen com
merce was in the most flourishing
state ; and we are daily becomiug
more truly independent. The ma
nufactures, in various parts of the
country, are increasing with a rapidi
ty unparalleled ; and the pride of A-
mertcans begins to be gratified with
a dress of our own manufacturing.
And I trust, the time is not tar dis
tant, when the citizens of the U. S.
instead of relying on foreign coun
tries for their cloathing, will be able
not only to supply their own wants,
but to export every kind, ol cotton,
if not woollen goods ; and restore to
the union that portion of specie,,
which has been drawn from us by
the excessive use of foreign manu
factured goods.
“ If any further legislative aid
should he deemed necessary for the
encouragement of domestic manu
factures, I doubt not but that they
will receive from you all that sup
port, which the circuntstancesiof the
state will admit.
“ Wr have recent inte'iig'-nce that
the etnperot of France ha te.olced his
B ilia snd Milan decrees andalthough
tins is not officially.announced, yet we
have hide realow to doubt but the infor
mation in correct. If so we may In'ulge
the pleaiing hope that the Britilh orders,
at d all paper blockade, wit ltkewtle be
revoked, and the corn tierce ol the U. S.
becoftie fie & unlhackled—our If g un-

St. Louis, Sept. 13.
A few weeks ago we published an
account of the attack and defeat of
captain Cole’s party on the. frontiers
of the district of St. Charles, by a
gang of unknown Indians.
Yesterday we received such cir
cumstantial information'as leaves no
room to doubt of the Putawatamie*
being the perpetrators. A Sac has
given up a bridle, which be says he
got in an exchange of horses with the
Putawatamies.—The Sac chiefs have
sent word to Gen. Clark, that the
Putaws who live near lake Michi
gan, have in their possession five
American horses, a silver mounted
rifle, a half worn saddle, plated kpurs,.
and some articles which appear iikef
the apparel of white people. The
general expects certain information
in a few weeks which will authorise
a demand to be made of those Indian
murderers.
