sqain'itfg in his juliiress at the idee, that
corrupt uiachin.itions prevailed aver the

were placed in nomination, both to tho

This appears to bu a simple deduction

should think it personal; - - .
Dut iho remark ’it extended:—if the

Another argument ingeniously urged to.

should contrast tho claims of each of the

I am not certain, the award would -bo in
his favor, over any one of them, upon a
majority of those considerations which
recommend candidates for (hut high sta
lion. Without intending to lie invidious
in my remarks, I think no unequivocal
muiifestatiou -of public favor lias ever
been givon him. This will bo noriispnr-
ugemeut of his pretensions, when we re
collect how lately ho lias entered tiro po

ruent—armed with papal hulls—scattering

and be men of “probity mid honor!"—
These are all deductions from theii jtsio-

In regard to tlio (jpetrine of enuettssing:
IMr. Lamar says it is doubtful whether
Iho Troup purty would bo willing to ac

can, or on ihy other score. So far ns l
am infot mod, it is the host and only means
of organizing tho energies of * parly—of
selecting men of probity and merit, and
achieving tho victory’ of principle—but
its chief merit, perhaps, is silencing men
who aspiro to oiBco with no clqini on the
score of mot it, luienls or priucijile. The
defeat of the Tioup party, has, in very
many instances, been owing to she divi
sions created by such men. True, tho

lleforo entering into tfny relating ;f the
scenes now acting in this quarter, it is due
to tho American public ard an impartial
world to state the causes which have led
to them. It is well known ttiatdurn% the
latter period of Spanish dominion ,n Mex
ico, the policy of tlio existing government
induced it to grant ti large tiacl ot land in
Texas to a citizen of the United States
named Austin, for the purpose of coloni
zation by his fellow citizens, This grant
was subsequently confirmed by the Con
gress of Mexico, acting-on a similar poli
cy and in its capacity of an independent
nation. Under the act of Congress just
named, which offered large inducements of
parties, it was stipulated “ that Col. Brad-'
burn (who had been superceded in his
command by a senior officer) should be
tried by a military court, the imprisoned
Americans enjoy Oil the benefits of the
civil laws, and the runaway negroos from
the United States delivered to their own
ers."
A meeting of the inhabitants of the
colony was then called to assemble ut San

that it was first from Ktlmaine, from

the whole central counties of Ireland are
thrown into a singular state of agitation.

parallel these remarks, with one in his ml
dress: Would ho, while at Philadelphia,
have obeyed the wishes of the meeting
who delegated him, or those of the people
of Georgia! Certainly the meeting, not
the people. Such was also the character
of the mooting held at Milledgcvillo last
wittier, und denominated by Mr. Lamar,
a “ Legislative Caucus.” Tlte member*
of the Legislature belonging to the Troup
I’urty, mot in convention, and aftor form
ing a ticket, usked their fellow-citizens to
go along with them in support of the clioico
they hud made. They accompanied the
recommendation however, “ witjt no de
nunciation against the rcfiuctory," nor
threatened excommunication to any : they
intended, und did leave the purty us be-
fote, lieu to choose or reject. II it is urged
against the selections of that meeting, that
they have clioscu sotn'o who are not ac

he found 10 be utterly impossible to make
ativ selection of so large a ticket, that some
will not ho more or less ohjectiunahlu
hilt it is expected—indeed it is.tlio only
chance of success, that concessions will be
mudu and scruples waived, for the general
advantage of the cause. Without this
tribute from patriotism, tho party could
not move in all.
He lavs it down, that lie has vio
lated no duty, and abandoned no prin
ciple of republicanism, in not bowing
to whut, in one souse, was called iis (the
parly’s) dictation. Tins is susceptible uf
hut one reply—that there tiro those liberal
principles'implied in every association,
founded in mutual concussion—the surest
pledge of perpetuity, and which may he
violmed, wntlu tlio liturul and less mental
are not disobuyed. A parallel may. he
found in tlio present excited condition of
our Union ; yet is a man not the less cul-
pnblo while pursuing the letter, ho violates
tlio spirit of an agreement; nor is Mr.
Lamar less in opposition to his party for
having committed no oulrngo upon repub
licanism—for I doubt not, that had his
uamc not been before the public, the nomi
nation ut Millodgevillu would not bo ob
jected to. Objections might be urged
against almost any caucus that could he
burned ; yet the object of caoctisiug is, to
catch tlio spirit of the party j ami this
communicated in ndistinctivo form, wheth
er by private association or otherwise,
ought, it seems to me, to weigh powerful
ly with all who wish the success of its
'principles. And who, let me hsk, nro bol
ter calculated (in the absence of a regular
caucus) to convey tlio patty’s wish, than
the members of the Legislature, who,
besides being numerous, have the impress
of parry confidence in their legislative
characters! Tho people's rights aro as

It appears, however, that during tho

ed that unhappy bin fine country of Mex
ico lor many year* past, the powers who
havo recently held the reinsol government
have thought that they discovered a great
political error itt their predecessors in
permitting such a colony ns Austin’s to he

such population; and have consequently,

The time had therefore now arrived when
further submission became n crime and re

Some time past at u place called’ Ana-
littac, a military posilion on tho Bay of
Galveston, commanded hy a person
named Bradburn, a colonel in the Mexi
can service, (although a native of the U-
nited States) throe citizens were seized
..nd incarcerated in prison hy the mandate
of colonel B. without any inlet vcnltoo
whatever of the civil authorities; a pro
ceeding so atrocious was well calculated to
kindle that sacred tire winch bail socially
causes of a similar nature to ignite it*-and
therefore meetings were held at San Fe-
lipfl. (the colonial seat of ’government)
aim other places, by which it was deter
mined to march on Anahuac and enforce
the delivery of the captive citizens to the
jurisdiction of the civil authorities. One
hundred and fifty men therefore appeared
before tho fortress Anahuac, when lire
commandant Brad burn entered into con
vention with them, binding himself to
comply with thoir wishes in every respect;
this to them was nil satisfactory, and they
were retiring peaceubljT to their homes,
when with the utmost consternation and
dismay, they were apprised that BrtVbnrfi
had proved faithless to the couveutiun,
and that he only made it to gain time in
order to strengthen his works. Such treach
ery and such villany could only bo expect
ed from one who held from tho captives
their promised constitutional rights; and
offered shelter and protection lu runaway
slaves from the United Slates.
Hero then was a crisis which required
honest hearts and sound builds to govern;
they wore not wanting; the people rose in
the majesty of theirjslreiiglli ami by u pub
lic und solemn declaration, made known to
all their love of, and adherence to the
constitution ol Mexico; throwing off the
yoke which the powers then administering
it, hud imposed upon them, und declared
their adhesion to the Liberal or Sail
Anna, party, under whoso government
their present safety and future security
could only be preserved and guarantied.
In consequence of lire so reasons the fort
of Anultuac on die Boy of Galveston,
and the fort Velasco at the mouth uf the
Rio Brasses, on which the flourishing
town of Brassoria is situated, were troth
closelv invested. On the morning id the
27th June, before day-light, the fort of
Velasco was '‘Marked hy the American
colonists under the command of Capt.
John Austin, with a force of 120 men,
armed with rifles and pistols^ and a small
schooner fitted up for the occasion
with three six pound guns. The land
forces advanced in two divisions to within
thirty yards of the ditch, and commenced,
in conjunction with tint vessel, a heavy uud
well directed lire. The fort mounting
ono long brass t> pounder and 90 men,
was ably and well defended; out utter a
severe contest of tour hours, surrendered
with a heavy los;; that on the part of the
assailants amounted to 6 killed 18 woun
ded. By the articles of capitulation the
prisoners are to he scut to Melatnoras at
their own expense. Thus was secured
the key to all the Southern possessions
of Austin’s colony-

some money fur fuel. He called to him,

ted that Gen. Henry, with his Brigade,
accompanied by Geu. Dodgo, with u
battalion of Michigan Volunteers, ‘Which
hud been detached by Gen. Atkiuson, in
pursuit of tha Sacs and Foxes, under
Black Hawk, succeeded hy (breed match
es incoming up with him'on the banks
of the Ouiscousin, opposite to the Blue
Mounds, on the evening of the 21st. ol'
July,and immediately made an attack upon
the Indians, which resulted in thoir defeat,
with u loss of about forty men killed, on
the pari of enemies; and it is presumed
a much larger number wounded—as the
Indians were seen during the action, bear
ing a great number of them off the field.
The loss on out part was trifling—amount
ing to one man killed and eight wounded.
Night coming on, our troops iouio not pur
sue: thus rite ene my was saved from entity
destruction. Black llawk passed over to
an island in the Ouiscousin, where he had
seul his women. Generals Henry aud
Dodgo remained ou tlie ground the suc
ceeding day and night, aud pari of the next
day, being unable to renew the attack, in
consequence of the entire absence oi boats
and canoes or the means of constructing
rafts to cross to the island. Henry and
Dodge marched to the Blue Mounds on
(lie evening ol the 23d, for a. supply of
provision, where they werejoiued by Gen.
Atkinson with the regular (roups and part
of Alexander’s ’Brigade, after a forced
march of three days from Cos-ce-nong.
Gen. Atkinson writes that Im would move

the Indians and subdue them, noiwnli-
standing the troops were worii uowu with
fatigue und onvations. Thu General
states that tho enemy must be 'much
crippled, and in a 'suffering condition for
the want of subsistunce. The troups un
der Henry and Dodge are tepreseniod to
have behaved with great gallantry, having
resisted with firmness a charge from the
enemy on horseback, and in thin
charged him with great promptness, rout nig
him on every point, tolvliich is uttribututnu
the very small loss on ottr side. While
our men deservo great credit for then
gallantly and steadiness, me Indians are
entitled to no less consideration for the
skill and pcrseveiauco displayed by them
in their retreat. There is every appear
ance of the war being soon terminated and
peace restored to the frontiers.
From the foregoing it appears that Gon.
Atkinson lias, taking all things into consid-
utiou, uclcd with judgement; and although
lie lias been baffled by the skill of Black
Hawk in bringing on an engagement uu-
nnw, yet .be lias managed so as to drive
him to great extremities, and to punish
him severely. And from every appear
ance there is little doubt but. that Black
Hawk and his followers will either he ex
terminated, or be so reduced in numbers
as never again to have it In Iris power to
murder the defenceless and innocent set
tlers on our frontiers.
