to the •urrender of Mr. \ an Fmrciudw preten

dye, against The l'arty, one which tho I’oupln
should novereithar forget or forgivo, because it
•trikes nttlio rcry basis of all free Government.
It it this : that they are now, and for a long lime
Imce iicen, endeavoring to break «b# spirit ef the
people, to extinguish in their bosoms the very
spirit of liberty itself, and, to degrade them into
the most abject of all slaves, those who daro mil
either think for themselves, avow their opinions,
or act in coofomity to the dictate* of their own
Judgements. This is attempted to he effected hy
n system of dnnunriation and party proscrip
tion, wide his itself tho mostodious and degrading
form of despotism, and one to which no free peo
ple can submitt without relinquishing tho sub
stance of liberty,aftor which even the worthless
form offrcc government most soon disappear.
The party nssnme that Genergal Jackson wish-
-os the olcclion of Mr, Van Bnren, and that ho Is
the choice of Tho Party. If any free eitiaen
of this free country, dares, in tho exorcise ofhis
constitutional right, to perform his duty to his
country, to himself and to Ids children, hy en
quiring into tho merits of Mr. Van Hnrcn, and
judging for himself as to his rpialificntionl for
the Presidency—should his derision ho in opposi
tion to the wishes of Tho Party, ho is Immediately
dcnouncpdiis an anomy to General Jackson, n
traitor to tho Party, an cnorny to hlsronntry ;nnd

_ln indiiro them patiently In submit to this de
grading, and nbniiiinuldy despotic system of dr
tiiiiirialiini and proscription, than indeed will the
1,1't spark of the spirit of freedom have been ex-
tingnislicd in their bosoms, they will already
have become slaves, base, degraded and Infa
mous slaves, and well worthy ol the chains soon
to lie livetted upon them, iliil we repel with
indignation the supposition that nut countrymen
have already attained to such tlegene-aey, nml
we trust they never will—they will say to tho
party, and to all nml to every human authority
which may attempt to awe them into a Mirren
dor of the I’.lnctive franchise—the selection of
our rulers belongs to us alone, it is not only a
right hot n high duty which wo owe, to our coiin-
try, to our cmisrieuers, ami to our (lod, to make
that selection which in our judgements wo ho
hove best enleulatod to preserve the liberty, and
to promolo the prosperity of our country. If
1 you believe Mr. Van Hnrcn best qualified to se
cure those great objects, in tlio mime of Heaven
give him your voles, but know, that in dispo

f.T m i.MMF.* I had the honor to receive

Resolution, pnssed by the Anti-Masonic Nation
al Convention recently assembled in Philadel

question, viz ll elected President of tho I til
ted Hates, would you appoint adhering Masyns
to office.”
Having heretofore written a number of letters
to different gentlemen belonging to the Anti-
Masonic party in Pennsylvania, and expressed
my view * fully on the subject ol Airt* Masotiary,
ami how far it ought to bo connected with Na
tional polities, and having subsequently received
and accepted tlio nominations of the Anti-ma
sonic Convention of the Hales of Pennsylvania
ami Vermont, it would seem to me, that my
sentiments on the subject ol Auti-.Ma-'onrv,most
bo extensively known and appreciated. To
ibeso opinions^imd facts I would most ic-sjm ct-|
fully refer yon. Hut in answer to your ititerrog j
atory, I beg leave tn assure you, that if clc
w hat alone silt further payments tire to be aiudc
to the public creditors, viz . ^
“ Hx tio.n 2. And bt it further enacted, That
hereafter no bank notes of Icns denomination
than ten dollars, and that from and nftcY the
third day of March, anno Domini, eighteen hun
dred nml thirty-seven, no bank note of le*s tic-
nomination than twenty dollars, shall tie oflered
in payment iu auv case whatsoever, iu which
money is to be paid by the United States, or the
pn«st i >fficc Department; norshail any bank note
of any denomination be so otic red uuless tlic
same shall be payable, and be payed on de
mand, in gold or silver coin, at the place whero
sued, and which shall not bo equivalent to

tible into gold or silver upon tlio spot, at the
w ill of the holder, and without delay or loss to
him: Provided That nothing herein contained
*hall bo couslrued # tolmako any thing but gold or

United States.”
In carrying faithfully Into eflcct tho above im
perative provision, ami, at the warn# time,^giving
all safe and legal accomodation to tho commu
nity in tho receipt of money, you will perceive
the propriety of not receiving any hank notes
which aro not redeemable ami redeemed in spe

Tho great popularity of (Jen. Jackson was a
shield that rendered him invulnerable to tlm at
tacks of bis opponents. Ifis deeds of valor throw
a halo around him that could not be dispelled.
Dili it is not so with Van Dureii. Like Paho-
eles lie may wear the shield of \chille*, but like
him he must fall n victim to the superiority of
hi* adversary.
I' 1 very one sees the ground upon which Van

No attempt to throw around him the mantle of

nn investigation community. No man at this
day ought to expect to ride into power on the
shoulders of another—though a Hercules. Mer
it alone should be the stepping stone, and the
only reliance; and where it exists its lustre will
shine out flic champion of itsow victories. Who
would accept office upon other terms? Office

our only object being to catch a glimgso of that
warrior and chief, whoso uamchasso strongly
marked tho page of history, and whoso undaunt
ed courage & unexampled bravery has become n
by-word throughout tho \undSeah-E-Muthta
Wo wero not disappointed ill our visit. Wo
wero conducted within tlio pickets, when our at
tention was at ooco arrested by tho person of
the celebrated warrior chief, reposing with all
hi* native grace, hi* hand* and fool hound
with heavy iron*; hi* hotly seemed to he at
{ lerfect case, but there was a restlessness about
liseaglacyo which told a story of inward tu
mult, disappoiiituicutaiid mortification. He is
an old man; ho says ho lacks hut sixteen years
of being ail hundred years old. Ho looks liko an
old race-horse, Iiis flush being worn uwny hy so-
vero exorcises. His bones Are proiniiicntld ex
hibited under his skill, w hich is nil over w rinkled
with age: tliero is something peculiarly striking
in his countenance, and the entire expression of
bis faco gives evidence of high intelligence.—
From a conversation bad with (Jen. Jessup, wo
loarucd that be bail formed an exalted opinion
of the military talent of tlio old warrior. He
stated to u* that the camp of Nonh-K-Mathla
w as one of the strongest military post* ho had
overseen. Its location wan marked with great
judgement, and the whole plan und arrangement
was such a* to convince him that Neab-F-Math-
la was a man endowed w ith military talents ot
a very high order. Gen. J. remarked that he
could tako possession of that camp with 7(H)
men, and defend it against four time- that
amount of force.
Thu capture of Neali-K-Mnthbi, as near, as
we can ascertain, wasattouded by the following
circumstances. Gun. Jessup bad left Tuskegee
with about 700 men, intended to inako a direct
march for Noah-F-Mnflila's camp, which was
located on the waters of tlio llatchachubhefl.—
!!o continued to ho joined by additional forces
w hile on bis march, until tho number of liis on-
fire army amounted to 2700, of which number
1500 w ere friendly Indian*. He had penetrated
the country until he ascertained that he was
within about seven miles of the bostilo camp,
w ben he came to a halt liard-by a fine cool spring,
and a Ilniiri-Jiing oat-field, where he was refresh
ing bis men and their horses. While thus en
gaged, a few of bis men bad wandered a little
distance from the main body of tho army, w hen
they discovered an Indian approaching on horse
back, w hom they reco^tiized as being old Noah-
Fj-Matbla. lie bad a piece of white cloth tied
round bis bund, nml a whifo garment of some
sort lioifctod upon a stick, both of which wero
designed to manifest hi* disposition for pence.
He was ordered to half, hut gave no heed, until
ono of till! party of tlio whites had approached
within a few steps of him and threatened to
shoot, when be * came to 1 and was immediately
taken to Gen. Jessup and made a prisoner; lie
bad with him bis son and daughter ami the uiuro
of NealmMicco. The tw o females were relcuM d
—hi* son is confined with him nt Fort MiteboM.
On being questioned in relation to tlio object of
bis travol, at tlm time bo was taken, hu stated
that bis life bad been threatened in bis own
camp and that he was hastening w ith all speed
to Fo.it .Mitchell, where bo intended to give him
self up: and when iMaj. McIntosh was about
putting Irons upon him, be remarked •* you need °k«\ f
not do this, for fain friendly;” this statement,
however, w as universally discredited. The opin
ion upon which wo rely, is. that he was passing
from one portion of hi»army to the other, it having
been thrown into confusion and disorder by the
approach of Gen. Jessup, of which they were
apprised, ami that his object w as in rally and
unite bis warriors and to mako them light: bo
this as it* may, be is now scoured within the
Pickets al Fort .’Mitchell, and tlio guard by which

swamp in the rear, and drove for the enemy. Th*
whites waited very patiently until near dark, with-
out any iicwh of the hostile*: considering it too dan-

drew to their camp. In u very short timo after tho
General had left, tho fiicndly Indian* routed the
