Mr. B right from the Finance Committee has
reported in the Scnato of tho United States, a
bill to alter and ninend the TarifT. This bill
proposes a reduction of the duties on imports
that h is estimated will diminish the revenue

Mr. Van Buren has left the chair of the Sen

The papers from Florida contain no accounts
that will authorise us to specify tho actual loca

we find in the Floridian of the 28th ult. That
paper says
“On yosterduv about 1 o’clock in the day time, three
large wagons, loaded with dry goods, flour and salt,
were way-laid l>> six Indians, abuut eight miles from
this place—taken about a mile from the road, the mules
taken out, and tho contents of the wagons packed upon
them in sacks found in the wngons, ami with three no-

There were fifteen mules taken. This information is
derived from one of tho negro drivers, who eeenped.

were painted, nod hnd several rifles.”

The Jamaica papers complain of the grent
scarcity of lawyers. It seems there has been
for some tiino past hut one gentlcinnn of the le
gal profession there, and he acted as Solicitor
General. In snmo cases ho had to act as pros-
cciiter ami defender of criminals, proving and
disproving his own cases. Tho Jury we appre
hend must have been a sharp sot of fellows, par
ticularly when they brought ill verdicts uf acquit
tal.
A war is anticipated between Grent Britain
mill the Republic of Ncw-Grenada. Tho Brit
ish Vice Consul nt I'annmn, made an assault on
a citizen, nud judicial notice was taken of the
affair. The Vice Consul was thrown into pri

release, the removal of the functionaries con
cerned in the imprisonment, and tho payment
of one thousand pounds sterling as an indem
nity to the officer.
An attempt has been made in the New York
Legislature, to confer upon the free negro, equal
privileges with the white man. \Y r e liavo ex

high ground. Will the South be warned ?

Dear Sir: On evening before ln»t r a pnrly of In-

some fifteen or twenty Indians after him ; he has not
been seen since, and doubtless is killed.
On yesterday morning eight men went to reconnoi

reached the house they were fired on by from thirty
to fifty Indians, and two of them were killed; they

The Indians committing the above foul murders,
doubtless are n portion of those who were left in the
friendly camps, until the return ofthn Wnrriors from
Florida. A gentleman of respectability in our town
yesterday, who resides in the vicinity of the scenes
of bloodshed, is of opinion, that a considerable force
of the Floridn Indians have come up and joined the
disaffected Creeks.

MR. VAN BUREN A MINORITY PRESIDENT.
We stated some time since, that Mr. Vnn Buren
would come into power, as a minority President—
and that, deprived of the vast popular strength which
has given General Jackson turli eminent ability for
mischief, he would he compelled to sustain his ad
ministration by a watchful deference to the opinions
‘of Congress, and some slight regard to the views
and wisliesof the Opposition. The Jackson press
es immediately charged us with the assertion of false
hood, and some of them went so far ns to say not
only tin* Mr. Van Buren would linve a majority of
the popular votes, hut that his majority would he ns
large ns that of General Jackson. We have now
before us the official returns from all the States, and
no one can examine them intelligently without com
ing to the inevitable conclusion—not only that Mr.
Van Buren lias no strength with the People—hut thnt
a considerable majority of the voters of the Union
are, at this moment, opposed to his elevation.
We will premise with a reference to tho popular
vote by which General Jackson was twice elevated
to the Presidency. The aggregate popular vote in
the election of 1828. was as follows:
Jackson, 6*27,‘260
Adams, 507,956
ligem honesty will admit it to he so. Our nssuinp-
ions with regard to both of these States are based
upon the average votes of the two parties, since the
question of Van Burenisin or No Van Burenism has
been agitated.
So in regard to New York. In 1834, the Whigs
brought out their full strength In that State. Then
Buren majority for Governor was 12,8S2.
1 us is the renl Van Buren majority in that State ;
when both parties are fully represented nt the Polls.
. * V^idential« Vctinn, there was a great full
ing off in the votes of both parties—the whole Van
Bureii'Vnte being less than the Whig vote for Gov
ernor m 1834—and the apparent Van Buren majori
ty being 28,272. The Marry vote of 1834, we aa-
siinic as the true test of the Van Buren strength in
New York—nnd the difference between this and the
\ an Buren vote of 1836. must be tnken from the ap
parent Van Huron majority in the Central States, to
give us the actual position of parties in thnt section
of the eouiitrv.
Apparent V. B. mnj. in Central Stntes, 27,824
Less hy the difference of Vote of1834 &’3G, 15,380
Actual V. B. mnj. in the Central States, 12,444
The vote of the Western States is n ft ir test of the
party strength in that section, and requires no expla
nation or comment. In the Southern States, we
shall tav nothing of the vote of North Carolina—
though the result of the Gubernatorial election fur-
nisliel, we doubt not, the true index to the senti-
menu of the State. Our friends lost North Caroli
na though supineness or over confidence.—The
S ipu nr mnjority in South Carolina against Mr. Vnn
urei we assume nt only 25,000 votes. As the vote
of (lit Legislature wns unanimous against him, we
might fairly set down the entire popular vote of the
State for the Opposition. There is no such tiling as
Van Burenism known in South Carolina. The
number of votes cast hy her citizens in the election
of the Legislature in 1832, wns about 39,000. Both
pni ties—all the voters—in the State-—Union-men and
Nullifies—are opposed to Mr. Van Buren—Imt we
set down the majority in the State at only 25,000.
Every *me must allow thnt in the circumstance* of
the rase, this is a liberal estimate for Mr. Van Bu
ren.
We believe then thnt on the best data extant for
estimating the relative strength of pnrties, in differ
ent sections of the country, the result would he ns
follows;
Ami-Van Buren majority in New England, 1,214
do do Jo the West, 24,844
do do do the South, 12,892
Jackson's majority in 1828,
In the election of 1832 ;
Jackson,
Clay nud Wirt,
119,304
707,217
583,281
Jackson's mnjority, 123,936
Here is an indication of something like popular
strength. On both elections Jackson received a ma
jority of above 119.000 votes. In this estimate the
vote of South Carolina is entirely omitted. On the
second election it might redm e the above aggregate
some several thousand votes—but enough remains
to prove thnt General Jackson was emphatically the
man of tho People's choice—and that he might ap
peal to his vast popularity in support of any measure
which he might sec fit to fasten upon the Country.
We will uoyv give the official returns of the recent
election ;—

result indicates very nearly the precise relative
alrength of the parties. But the voles of Maine and
Now'llmnindiire do not furnish nnv snrli index.—
There was not a full exhibit! film Whig strength
in either of these States. The election went by de
fault—Mimy of the Whigs, from a feeling of the
hopeies.imss of nnv exertion, absented themselves
from the Pulls. This is not only tbs natural It
of such a preponderance of tlm ir-

Wo may lenri* from ibis statement the relative
popularity of Genera! Jackson nnd Van Buren—tho
general with a pnpnlar majority of 119.000 Votes—
and Van Buren in a minority of 3.500 Votes, on the
most favorable enlctilnlinri t hat can he possibly made
for him ! It is evident that no true estimntcVan he
made of this election without considering the popu
lar vote of South Carolina—nnd to this wc can only
approximate. As Mr. Van Buren has no party in
tnat State, it would be pci Imps most proper to set
down its entire vote against him—hut instead of tak
ing 39,000 votes, a* we could with the utmost fair
ness, we assume the Opposition mnjority at only
25,000. If we innko the just allowances for the votes
of Maine, New Hampshire and New York, for the
reasons and on the data assumed »n the above article,
it will he obvious to any one, that there is an Anti-
Van Burcu majority in the country of more than
TWEXTT-S1X THOUSAND VOTES !
Now we defy any one to gainsay the accuracy of
these statements nnd calculations. Every intelli
gent politician of both parties will perceive their
propriety nnd justice, nnd every candid politician
will confess their truth. Mr. Van Buren not only
lacks the overwhelming popularity of General Jack-
son—btlt there is a large mnjority of voters in the
country opposed to him. To nil intents and purpos
es, he is a Minority President—and the majority
ok the People, in despite of him. can exercise their
just and legitimate influence on public affairs,
THROUGH Til Kin REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS.
If the Whig Party arc hut just to themselves and
their Cause, they will direct the policy of the Go
vernment through a considerable portion of Mr. Vail
Boren's Administration.

Washington, Jan. 26. 1837.
There was a scene last night in the Committee of
Investigation, raised upon Reuben M. Whitney's
concerns. Whitney was under examination, lie
had pursued a vexatious course,—pretending to an
swer any legitimate question*, hut cautiously ob
jecting to nny querries which iniglu lend to the de-
velopemdits sought for. Mr. Peyton of Tennessee,
pressed him cloaely on an important point, and Whit
ney made a personal and highly insulting remark
in reply. Mr. Peyton, losing all patience, drew a
pistol, nud would have shot the fellow in a mo
ment, had not the members of the Committee in
terposed to prevent him—“Thief, scomidrii" said
Mr. Peyton, “if you dare to address me in thnt innu-
ner again, I will sacrifice you." The Committee
took the subject into immediate consideration, nnd
to their credit, passed an unanimous Resolution
strongly censuring the witness Reuben M. Whitney,
who Imd grossly insulted a member of the Commit
tee. Whitney then made a formal apology. I had
expected some result of the kind, after the impudent
nnd insulting card which Whitney published in the
Globe, in regard to Mr. Peyton’s statements in the
House. The two investigation* will end in nothing,
except reports nnd counter reports, concerning the
obstacles which were opposed to the investigation.
Mr. Wise’s Committee will effect nothing, as he
foresaw nud foretold, even before lie was apprised
thnt lie was to have a Committee packed upon him.
He offers a resolution for enquiry, hy the Committee
into this and that subject,—anil tlm six Van Buren
members immediately quallify it in such a way as
to render it nugntc ry.
Col. Almonte left this city this morning for Balti
more. The conference between Gen. Santa Anna
and the President have been brought to a dose, nud
the Mexienn General will immediately take his de
parture for Ver;i Cruz. Col. Almonte hns gone
lienee to make the necessary arrangements. An
order was issued from the Navy Department, at a
late hour Inst night, to fit out a vessel of war, to sail
immediately. It is probable thnt it is intended to
send n special Minister to Mexico, to offer the medi
ation of this Government in the controversy between
Mexico and Texas, and to permit Generul Santa An
na to dcpnrt in the same vessel.

THE FAITHLE8S REPRESENTATIVE*.
We nsk the particular attention of our readers to
the proceedings of Congress, some time since, pub
lished in to-day’s paper, on the subject of Abolition.
We ask our Georgia renders especially, to scrutin
ize the votes of their members in Congress upon
the direct question “shall the Abolition petitions he
received.” It will he seen hy reference to the yeas
nnd nays that Messrs. Cleveland, Grantland, Haynes,
and Owens, have all voted directly to receive those
abominable petitions, which nre intended to over
turn the long established domestic institutions of"
the south, rob us of our property, endanger the
peace of our firesides, the lives of our families, and
the permanency of the Union itself. Hotkey nnd
Jackson were absent, the latter sick in Philadelphia,
the former wc know not where ! Glascock t.ud
Dawson like true 1 representatives of tho South
nnd Southern rights, resisted with firmness this
flagrant invasion of nil thnt is near ami dear to
us. They will meet their just reward ill the cheer
ing approbation of their constituents. But the
I faithless four, what shall ho their reward ? Cnu
they, ought they to he any longer trusted hv a cmifi-
, ding people to whose interests, light** and feelings
( they have proved themselves so treacherous? We
| call upon the people, tho reflecting people whose
interests nre nt «iak«\ and who unchained hy fetters
| of party can look with sidieruesa and judgment up-
, un such conduct, to put their tnnrk upon the faith-
Iom men who have betrayed them in the hmi- of
peril. Do these men truly represent the people of
Georgia? I* it the desire of the citizen* of this
1 Suite, thnt. their representative* should extend any
countenance to the abolitionist* hy voting in Con-
i gres* to receive and entertain their petition*? We
| think not. But it is for the people to answer! We
I »|udl not fail to furnish them with every information
i necessary to enable them to decide correctly. Ha-
I mii” done that much we shall have discharged our
<!«'>'•
Legislitfiin* of !\nv Ytrk*
Free Negro Suffrage.
Mr. C. !L tfltepnril presented tho potion of
' fjcrrii Siiiith and others, to extend the right of
splft age without regard to color, and “ to rep#nl
• the laws authorizing slavery in tho state of New-
Y»rk."
Mr. Shepard asked that it might hr read.
\ part liming been read hy the Ck rk,
Mr. Itohiii'OM moved thnt the further reading
* he dispensed with mid that Ilia petition lia oa
the tablo ; but at the requestor Mr. S. withdrew
his motion, nnd the petition was read.
Mr..King moved that the petitiou be denied
and rejected.
Mr. C Rogers did not understand distinctly
wliat the prayer of the petition was.
Mr. C. O. Shepard explained. It was to ex
tend the right of sufTrngo to the colored popula
tion of the State, with no other restrictions than
those applicable now to the whites—do repeal
the laws (and there were such laws, Mr. S. said;
Ruthosizing slavery in the state of New-York—
and to iustruct our representatives in Congress
to exert themselves to procure a repeal of the
laws making it obligatory to yield up a person
claimed as n slave, without a trail by jury. Mr.
Shepard went at much length into tho merits of
these sovernl points, and claimed that the peti
tion should':ive. at least. a reference to some
committee, anil he treated in all respects as any
other memorial which was respectful in its Ian
gunge, and which related to matters of such im
portance.
Mr. Bradish inquired whether the motion was
to reject the petition or the prayer o( tho peti
tion ! There wns nn important distinction he
apprehended between the two—the former being
equivalent to n denial of tho right of petition,
which ho could not sanction hy his vote, whate
ver might he his views of the propriety of gran
ting tho prayir of the petition.
Mr. King differ red with the gentleman as to
the purport of his motion. A petition was sy
nonymous with a prayer, and to deny the pe
tition. would he to deny the prayer of it. lie
(Mr. K.) was satisfied with the language of his
motion, but if the gentiemuu was not, il was for
him to propose to ninend.
Mr. Bradish preferred ilia? tho IIouso should
either not acton the petition nt all, or that it
should he referred to a select committee. He
could not consent to reject the petition almost
unheard.
Mr. Hackley supported the motion to reject—
on the ground thnt the number of coloured peo
ple in the State wns too small, even were it
deemed expedient m the abstract to put them nn
a par with tho whites, to justify a call upon tho
whole people to amend the constitution, framed
as it hnd been with great deliberation, nud with
reference to this very question—thnt laws wheth
er in reference to tho reclaiming fugitive slaves
or any other matter, ought not to he altered up
on every erroneous decision of a judge, as ap
peared to he the case alluded to in the petition—
tliut slavery did not exist in this State, ns stated
in the petition—and that ho was averse to tho
agitation of tho general question, to the exclu
sion of the proper business of the House, belie
ving that the result would he to the injury, rath
er tht tetho benefit of the class of persons claim
ing to he aggrieved.
Mr. Bradish called for the ayes nnd nocs oil
tho question of rejection, ami they were or
dered.
Mr. C. O. Shepard went into nn elaborate ex
amination of the laws relative to fugitive slaves,
to show that slavery might exist at least nine
months in the yenr in this State—that our laws
recognized the principle of slavery, &c. &c,.
and contended at great length for tho abstract
right of the colored man to an equal participa
tion with the whites in the elective franchise—
reiterating his former claim (as a matter of right
to himself and tho petitioners,) to an investiga
tion of the whole subject hy a committe of the
house. [It appeared from Mr. S.*s statement,
that of the 8,000 colored people in the State,
there were 034 who paid taxes hut wero debar
red tho privilege of voting.]
Mr. Thomas followed on the same side,enlar
ging particularly on the right of petition—the
right of being heard, &c. &c., and contending
that to deny this, would he to say that the sub
ject matter of it was unworthy the investigation
of tho House.
Mr. King : The gentleman misunderstands.—
The petition was presented with a request that
it might ho read. It wu9 received nud read.
The house have taken cognizance of the peti
tion and must dispose of it, either hy grantiog or
rejecting it, now or hereafter. For one, 1 am
prepared to act now. From tho spirit with
which it has been pressed, we may well antici
pate a long and animated discussion, nnd to lit
tle purpose. 1 am satisfied with the existing
state of things in this *tate ; and with the inter
nal a/Fairs of other states 1 conceive we, as mem
bers of this house, have nothing to do.
Mr. Andrews wns glad the discussion had
come up, and he Imped it would have a refer
ence, with a view at least to clear up sumo of
the obscurities in our election laws.
Mr. Buggies moved that the petition lio on
the table.
Mr. King hoped not. The question wns
mainly whether the right of suffrage should he
-extended to the blacks. Every member ought
to he prepared to meet that question at once.
He was opposed to placing the black mail oil a
par with the white in this respect; nnd ho was
supprised to hear gentlemen wlm were known
to act politically with tho 14 native” party, (so
•called) which would wrest the right of voting
from a mail horn in England, Ireland, Scotland,
•or on the continent of Europe—lie was surpris
ed, he repeated, to hear the same men now stan
ding oat with so much vehemence in favor of ex
tending the right of suffrage to the African.
He hoped the question would he taken at once
and directly on rejecting the petition.
Mr. Boggles’ motion to lay on the table was
lost, hut 2D rising in tho affirmative.*
Mr. Hillycr explained the vote he was about
to give. He was opposed to extending the elec
tive franchise to blacks, Imt not being acquain
ted with the provisions of the law relative to fu
gitive slaves, and their alleged deficiency ns re
garded the right of trial hy jury, ho preferred
that the petition should go to a committee.
The question was then taken on Mr. King's
motion to reject, and decided ill the affirmative,
ayes 76, noes 44, ns follows :
Absence of mind.—The last case is that of a Ship
Carpenter, who hit off tho end of a copper spike,
and drove a ping of Tobacco in the vessel's bot
tom.
Th-reason irhy — Almost every thing consumed in
a family now command* exhorhitant price*, except
cream, of which hy the way, there is none. Inqui
ring of our inilk man the reason of it* scarcity, he
answered our query by saying that milk lias riz so
taninl high that cream can't touch the top!

been refused ; $2,500 wns refused for General Brooko,
the last son of Bet Bounce ; and ARAB himself sold
for $5000,and cunuot he bought at this tiiae for less than
double that sum. These pi sin, simple, nud unvarnished

Making the sum of near $20,000 that old Bet and 10 of
her family actually sold for, nnd some of them not three
weeks.old, andmany of them not 3 years old. Stronger or
more substantial facts could not he urged in proof of the
exalted station occupied by Arab aud his stock in Virgi
nia, and not a doubt can he now entertained that his
colts stand in ths very first rank of distinguished rarer*
nt the present day : to prove Yvliic.h, wo refer the public
to the American Turf Register, Yvliere it will he seen
tlmt lie has produced us many Yvinucr* ns almost anv
other horse now living. Our limits will not permit us to
go into lengthy details, hut will give below the perform
ance of a sufficient number of his colts lo «stufdisli tbs
fact, llmt he is the sire of race horses of the very first or
der, for which purpose, it is only neressnry to’mention
a few of his first colts that wero three venfs old in 1830?
They made their appearance on the Turf in North Ca
rolina, Virginia aud New-York, of this year, and won lor
themselves laurels which will never fade, Oua at Tree
Hill, heating an Archie ; one si Long Island, healing nn
Eclipse, with others. Tho sniue colt (Burkes.) wns
then matched and run for $ G00, against Maxwell’s Fil
lv, hy Eclipse, a siuclo two milos, which lie won with
with great ease, lie run at New Holland, with a 100
pounds against all ages, winning at two heats easily.—
At Lancaster he won a match n single mile. Hnlost once
out of five rnces. aud then wus beaten by the celebrated
mile horse Fox, by Eclipse. All were astonished to see
Fo-: run so closely by a three year old, with n catch up
on each—second heat won hv six inches. One at Law-
rcnceville, besting a Sir Charles ; one nt Salisbury,
beating n Dion, at four heats; ono at New Market, heat
ing four others, nt two heats, one miiiiito fifty-three
seconds, each heat; anil one at Norfolk, beating nn
Archie, ut three heuta, first hunt won by Standard,
oil" minute forl.v nine seconds—2d heat won by the Arab
Filly, I ininUlc53 seconds, and the 3d heal hy the Fill}’,
in l" minute 55 seconds. Since which, hia colts have
been running with unparallelled success in various parts
oft he United States, and particularly in Virginia, ns will
seen by the fidloYvingextract of a letter from Mr. Tho
mas Goode Tucker, a gentleman of high standing nnd
diameter, rf Brunswick county, Virginia. Speaking of
Arab, he savs—“ Some of his get at this time, though
in young and inexperienced hands, are gathering the lau
rels,even with such men as Johnson and Wynn,ns tlioir
competitors. Tuberose and Bctlinuv will budd a repu
tation which cannot he pulled down in Virginia, where
tile value of his stock has lately increased at least lily
per cent. If there ever wus u liorso that has stormed the
prejudices of a people, nnd triumphed by dint of superi
ority over the vile and iusijlious attack of interested
jockeys. “ Mis ARAB.”

The sunn gentlmtnn afer stating in the most glowing
terms his opinion of Bet Bounce and her stock, (for lie
trained the them all,) spenks of Arab and Beysbehn its
the very best racers of the day, uud gives Arab's perfor
mances, us follows:
44 At three years old lie bent Defiance, a full brother
to Washington, (by Tiuinlonn,) 2 mile heats, ut 3 boats,
This race was won by Flirlilln,owing to circumstances.
Twenty dnvs nftrnvards, lin boat Fkirtilla, at Halifax,\.
Iyvo mile heals for the great stake. Tlirre days after
wards, lie yvms entered against the celebrated Sir Ilcnrv,
and the heariuc Janett, three mile heats. Here Arab's
superiority was clearly evinced, for lie heat them both
nt three bents, throwing Hwoy tlm first mid winning the
the 2nd am! 3d heals. After that be met Defiance, and
•cttled u 4 mile contest nt one bent. And in like manner
fulfilled an cugagtMiieiil wi:h a full sister to Carolinian,ut
at one heat of -1 mile*. He then run a trial of two miles
out with the celebrated Henry,heating him from (il) to
70yards, and making the run, with training slue's on,
says nun of tho timer*, in three iiituiile and 43 seconds—
perhaps the greatest guilup of two miles since the dnvs
of Childress. After that he wu-* entered in a four mile
contest Yvith that truly formidable race mare Janette,
that won 14out of Ifiraces, and died young. Shewn*
nearly allied lo Arab, coming out of his full *i*ter, a id
begotten bv hi* father. Alter running three miles Jr
more, Arab was going ahead,as h rd os the hoy could
pull him, from 60 to CO yards, and suddenly, forth*!
fir*t time in hi* life lie stopped till she hud passed him
130 yards, lie then rtnrtcd again, nnd in three quar
ters of a mile overhauled Ivr and stopped sgiun, nud
tlm* !o*t the bout, und finallv the race, ns he positively
refined starting tier second lieut, and never would run
kindly afterYvnrd*.’’
Hi* owner think*, in making out hi* certificate, that bv
some oversight, Cap!. Harrison omitted to mention one
of Arab’s best ruec ; tlmt Mr. James Somerville, of
Warrenton, a gentleman of undoubted veracity and chu-
raetcr. assured him, that in some four mile contest with
John Kb hards, Arab Imd certainly distanced him.—
