Sir.—The War, In Texas, which has of.late
assumed n sanguinary nnd savage aspect, has in- 1
duced the President of thb U. Slates to require a-
considerable angmentatio’n of regular force to be
concentrated tippq ’ttfiis ■ section bf the national
frontier, to which my attention has been particu
larly tlireoied. He 'deems it (o lie the duty of the
Uhtted'Siates.lqfeiAain entirely: ncujral, and to
cause ihoir neutraliiy toberespected-peaceaMy. if
practicable—forcibly, if necessary.
The 23rd article of the, treaty^ with 'Me*'Co rei
quires both tho,contracting parties to prevent “by
force all hostilities and- incursions-on the part of
the Indian nations living within their respective
boundaries, so thratthe United Stales' of Ainerica
'will not suffer theirjn'diariaiq attack-the citizens
oflhe Mexican States,. Azc." ’/>’.’i •
The provisions of this article I am, partioujrirly
instructed to citbso to bo euforced. and'I have,
pursuant to instructions, taken measures to make
known to the various Indian tribes inhabiting that
portion of the United States bordering upon the
Mexican terribry, on'the waters of the Red arid
Arkansas rivers, the determinationpf the govern
ment to prevent any hostile incursions into Tex
as, and have directed that the'chiefS be called tip
on to inculqate upon their people' the necessity qf
carefully abstaining from any violation of the a-
above mentioned enga gements—and ] have more
over informed them, pursuant to the orders onhje
President;-'hat I will not hesitate to use the force
at niy ‘disposal for the purpose of preventing any,
such designs. .
I have learned from several of our citizens, en
titled to credit, that one Manuel Flores, a Mexi
can Spaniard, but for several years past a citizen
of “SpadHli! town" In this State, near the Sahinc
Ridge/jjtas b'eop jatqly commissioned by persons
professing to act by the authority of the Mexican
Government fits’ 'the 1 purpose of enticing tho In
dians ilk the. western pralrtef on .onr ride of fhe
bolindaSy iihe; Id jdin them in the war of exter
mination now. raging',id; Texas. and that with
this Vieiy, the Agent, Manuel Flores, accompanied
by a'stranger, has passed, up the valley of the
Iied River, and has lately produced considerable
excitement among the Caddo Indians. Arid I
liave very recently learned fittm several intelli
gent persons in Texas, aad others who havelate-
ly been there, that many of onr Indians have
gone ovefthtfie Texas side of the line.’,,
These fiotsjririd circumstances present tri nie
the important - qiiestion*-:whether I rim to sit,still
and suffer these movements to be so far matured
an to, place 1 the white settlements of
the line wholly within the power of these savages—
or whether I ought not instantly to ’ prepare the
mearis for protecting the frontier settlements, and
if necessary, compelling the Indians to return to
their own homes and hunting grounds.
I cannot but decide in favor of the alternative
which Bjls qiiestiqn 'prcsents:—for nothing can be

on of a party, calling .itselfdcmocratic, and ma
king high pretentions to republicanism. Times’
have sadly changed. Strange things are threat
ened in the green tree, what will likely bedohein

monitory symptoms of despotism are upon Us.
THE MAIL; ^
A prodigious parade is making over a prom
ise, ofthe Post Mastei General, to establish an ex
tra mail express through the country. For our- .
selves, we have no objection to ally thing that af
fords greater facilities in communicating impor
tant information from tho seat of'Government, to
the growing cities ofthe Republic. But the Poet
Master General, should remember,' that the'mbr- '
camile community is tint the otily portion qrjthq
people that havo an interest in the speedy and reg
ular transmission of the mails. The farmers are
the bone and sinew of the country, and their warns
should be somewhat attended to,-. A great portion
of them, live rat. a distance from the great daily
lines already established,and are absolutely denied
the advantages which tlte Commercial communi
ty already enjoy. Wo hear of nothing being dqne
jo afford them relief. J Their situation is insuffer-
able, Send a letter, for instance, to ono nfths
counties in tho Cherckoe purchase, a distance of
150 miles North of the main route, nnd when will.
it arrive.nl its place of destination ? We cannot
answer, never having heard of ono arriving ntall.
Send ono South the same distance, and if it.does
not wear out on the road, it may possibly get Home
in two, three, or at most in six months. This is
a grievance that ought to be noticed.
Would it not be well then, in this day of gener
al improvement, for Mr. Kendal to reform and ar- ‘
range the business already commenced, rather
than go in search of new, nnd untried schemes ?
It is a time Of general, of almost universal com
plaint. An astonishing derangement perrdde*
thewholo exteusivenystem of communication—
The press complains ; the community aro load
in thbir demands lop relief; individuals avow thut
the sanctity .of private correspondence is violated
by unknown baukers, connected with the Post
Office department; nnd yet from nil these daring
abuses, Amos turns away to the contemplation of .
extras and expresses, disregarding the absolute
wonts of the great body rif.. his fellow citizens.—
Let the Mails bo first carried, as B)e law is sup*
posed to Carry human justice, to every man's door.
Lettho people generally receive Bio benefits of
this most irripottaui branch of the government.—
And when- this is doqe. lct Amos, if he has tho
necessary means, send hisexpreasos wheresoever
lie will. There is something wrong in matters as
they now stand, and tliqsbn'ner things in this res
pect are altered, the better. Wo shall allude
to this subject occasionally.
