The following is a copy of tlte Letter from Mr. Cl at, read in the Harrisburg Convention on tlte 4 th inst. Ashland, November 20,1830. Gentleukn: The public use which has been made of my name, in connexion witli tho ofiicc of President of tlte United States, furnishes tho mo tive, os 1 trust it will form tho apology, for Uiis note. I address it to you, because our common residence in the same'State appears to me to ren der you tho most appropriate repository and or gan of what 1 wish uow to say. The Convention at 1 lar rUlmrg to designate candidates of the Opposition to the present Fed eral Administration, for the offices of Fresidci|t and Vice-President of tho United Slates, has liecn recommended, and tho propriety of it has been generally concurred in by nil who ogree as to the necessity of a chaugo itt the General Ad ministration. It appeared to tnc to bo the best, if not tho only practicable method of reconciling and uniting those who, coinciding in tho general prin ciple, entertuined different views as to the most suitable candidates for those high officer, and I have accordingly frequently cxprciccd, and now repeat tha expression ofjny conviction oftlie ex pediency of an entire and cordial acquiescence in the recommendation* of tho Convcntiou. Kn the mean time, appeal* directly and indirect ly have been made to'me hy a highly respectable Convention balden in Pennsylvania, aud by pri vate individuals, to decline giving my coment to (be use of my name, upon the ground that a dis tinguished citizau of the Slate of Ohio is the first choice of the Opposition in Pennsylvania, and in tho opinion of tlmt Convention would he inoro likely to conciliate general support than I should. I have, boon also addressed by various respectable and intelligent citizens of New-York, directly and indirectly, recommending mo to decline tho con test in behalf of another emi.icnt citizen, who ha* been distinguished in both the military and civil service of tho United Stales. Whilst l have beau thus urgently but respect- flilly approached, numerous private citizens and public meetings and convictions in Various parts of the United State* (one of these conventions, indeed, in Pennsylvania itself) have done pic the honor to express their confidence in me, and to intimate their wishes that I.might be tho candidate of the Opposition for the office of Chief Magis trate. It is perfectly manifest tint I cannot comply with all these conflicting opinions aud wishes, nor I apprehend, with any oue of them, without disobliging the others. Under these nnihitrrasing circumstances, I hare thought it most advisable to leave tu tho Couvcn- tion at Hurristrarg the freo selection of Candidates its being tho assembly to which, by common con- sent, that important duty has boon referred Re presenting, os it probably will, all parts of tho U- nited States, bringing together the . feelings and views of all, aud comparing and weighing the lo cal information which it will derive from every portion, it will be most competent to mako a no mination acceptable to the great majority of its constituents. That' it will ho feithfid to the Itigh trust coulidod to its judginoutimd patriotism, can not bo doubted; und having a full view of the whole ground, it will bo more likely to make a selection agreeable to the groat body of the Oppo sition than any separate convention could c|«, however enlightened and patriotic it may be. If tho Pennsylvania Convention, Vo Which I have just alluded, be right in supposing Hint the distin guished citizen whom it prefers would bo more successful than any other, he ought to bo nomina ted, and undoubtedly, for that reason, will lie no. initiated by the Harrisburg Convention, should it entertain (lie same opinion.

FROM T1IE CHEROKEE COUNTRY. St. Liuib, Nov. 30. A detachment of two hundred aiul fifty men of tho 1 st regiment ofdmgoou*,undor tho command ofColojicT S. W. Koartiey, have just returned to Foil Leavenworth from a march from that purl along the .Missouri frontier,and into Hie Cherokee country as far as Fort Wayne, on U10 iUiuois river near Fort Gibson. This movement was made in consequent of intelligence contained in a letter IVom General Ai buckle to the Hon. A Yell, of Arkansas, dated September 28, and* published in tho Arkansas Gazette, wlficli intimated strongly that difficulty was brewing ill that quarter between in that quar ter between the Cherokee* and the military force under tho General; and that tha Cherokee*, or tho Ross party of them, would remt with force any attempt on the part of tho military to exe cute a recent order from Hie Secretary of War to Gen. Arbuckle to ai rest tho murderers of the Kidges and Uoudinot. On seeing this loUor, Colonel Kenruey determined nt once to march an effective force along tlm Arkansas honlcr, to pre vent, in case of difficulty, any collision or com bination ofthe Chsrokce* with tho Indians along the Missouri frontior, which had keen cutru dea to his charge nnd defence. On rcnchiug Spring River, near the Arkansas Hue, lie learned, from various reports, that tho Cherokccs were unking preparation* to fight, which influenced him to penetrate their country as he did. On reaching Fort Wayne, he teamed, from authority to he relied on, that tho report* of intended hostilities on tho part of the Cherokee* trcrc utterly groundless', that the whole country teas entirely quit; that a na• donut irortritA the United States it us not thought of lyjhe Indians} and that no resistance to the arre t ofthe murderers of Boudinot andftlie R'dge* need ho anticipated, beyond that which might bo made by the murderer* themselves individually. A force of sixty men from tho (bur companies of dragoons vlntioiied at Fort Wayne' had been ordered by General Arbuckle to search Hirough the Cherokee nation for the murderers, hut it was not uiticii expected that they would bo found; there being a strong party ol tbo nation in their favor, and interested to couceal them or assist them to es cape. Tho command remained three days at Fort Wayne* daring which Colonel Kearney corres ponded with General Arbuckle, nt Foil Gibson, distant sixty miles, by express. lie then marched his command back to Fort Leavenworth, ia proper station,where he arrived on the 20th instant having been abseut twenty-four days, and performing the march backiu nine days—a distance of nenr three hundred miles.
