ftv abandoning she mrrtsines, so wise, so
,jj C ent, so successful, and so popular, which
-Went Administration has pursued.
I j, e ilow-citizcns, we have all sober and imp -r
jnt duties to pel form. I have not addressed you
j .Jay for the purpose of joining in a premature
„ ote of tii !|rr »t h, °f raising a shout for anticipated
vifvries. We are in tiic controversy, not through
j; It is our duty to spare no pains to ciiCalate in
formation, and to spie id the truth, far and wide,
let us persuade those Who dilfer from us, if we
can, to hear both sides. Let us rernin I them that
are all cm arkrd together, with a common in
terest and a common late : and let us, without re
t,u,e or unkindness, beseech them to consider what
the good of the whole requires, what is best for
them aad for in. There are two causes which
keep back thousands of honest men fioinjoi.ing
those who wish fora change.
The first of these is the fear of reproach from
former associates, and the pain which party deuun
.jition is capable of inflicting. Hut, surely, the
manliness of the American character is superior to
this! Surely, no American citizen will feel him
,elf chained to the wheels of any party', nor bound
o follow it, against his conscience, and his sense
)fthe inte rest of the country. Resolution and de
ision ought to dissipate such restraints, and to
men free at once to act upon their ow con
ations. Unless this can be done, party has en
vied upon us a miserable slavery, by compelling
a , to act -against our consciences, on questions of
the greatest importance.
'flic other cause is the constant cry that the par
of the Administration is the true Democratic
party, or the more popular party, in the Govern
ment, and in the country. The falsity of this
>!aiin lias not been sufficiently exposed, it should
iuve been met, and should be now met, not only
hv denial, but by proof. If they mean the new
democracy, the cry against credit, again-t indus
try, agaimt labor, against a man’s right to leave
HfVown earnings to his own children —why, then,
doubtless, they are right; all this sort of Democ
flj racy is theirs’. But if by Democracy they mean a
I conscientious and stern adherence to the true popu-
I jar principles of the Constitution and the Govern-
I meat, then I think they hue very litt e claim to
I it Is the augmentation of Executive power a De-
I mocratic principle ? Is the separation of the cur-
I rcucy of Government from the currency of the
people a Democratic principle ? Is the embodying
I of a largo military force, in time of peace, a Dcmo
* cratic principle ?
Let us enueat honest men not to take names for
things, nor pretences for proofs. If Democracy, in
a nv constitutional sense, belongs to our adversaries,
; let them show their title, and produce their evi
| dencc. Dot the question be examined ; and let
not intelligent and well-meaning citize’s be kept
f to the support of measures, winch in their hearts
and consciences they disapprove, bee mse their au
thors put forth such loud claims to tiie sole profes
sion of regard for the people.
Fellow-cit’zens of the County of Saratoga—ln
taking leave of you, 1 cmnot but remind you how
distinguishe 1 a place your County occupies in the
history of the country. I cannot be ignorant,that
iathe midst of you are many, at this moment, who
saw in this neighborhood the triumph of Republi
can arms,in the surrender of Gen. Bingo;, nc. 1 can
not doubt, that a fervent spiral of patriotism burns
in their breasts, and in the breasts of their chil
dren. They helped to save their count.y amidst
the storms of war, they will help to save it 1 am
fully persuaded, in the present severe civil crisis.
Fellow citizens, I verily believe it is true, that of
all that are left to us from the Revolution, nine
tenths are with us, in the existing contest. If
there be living a Revolutionary officer, or soldier,
who has joined in the attacks upon Gen. Harrisons
military character, I have not met with him. It
is not, therefore, in the County of Saratoga, that a
cause sustained by such means is likely to prevail.
Fellow citizens, the great question is now before
the country. If with the experience of the past,
the American people think proper to confitm pow
erin the hands which now hod it, and thereby
sanction the leading policy of the Administration,
it will be your duty and mine to bow, with sub
mission to the public will ; but for myself, I shall
not belive it possible for me to be of service to the
countrv, in any department of public life. I shall
look on, with no less love of country than ever,
but with fearful forebodings of what may be near
! at hind.
But,fellow-citizens, I do not at all expect that
result. I fullv believe that change is coming. If
we all do our duty, we shall restore the Govern
ment to its former prosperity. And let us here, to
day, feliow-cititizens, with full resolut.on and pa
triotic purpose of heart, give and take pledges, that
until this great controversy be ended, our time, our
talents, our efforts, arc all due, and shall all be
faithfully given, to our country.

"Battle with the Camanches — The Texians Vic
torious.
By the arrival of the schooner Yew Tree, from
Galveston, we have an Extra of the Daily Couri
er of the 20th insl., from which we glean the fol
lowing intelligence. The news was received at
Galveston direct from Austin, and is contained
in a communication from Maj. Gen. Felix Hus
ton, of the Texas Militia, to the Hon. Branch T.
Archer, Secretary of War.
The communication is dated “On Plumb
Creek, 3 miles West of Good’s, Aug. 12, 1540.”
The General says—
“l arrived on yesterday evening, and found
Capt. Caldwell encamped on Plum!) Creek with
about 100 men. This morning I was requested
to take the command, which I did, and organized
them into companies. About six o’clock, A. M.
the spies reported that the Indians were approach
ing. I crossed above the trail about three miles,
and passed down on the west side; on arriving
near the trail I was joined by Col. Burleson with
about UlO men. I immediately formed into two
lines, the right commanded by Col. Burleson, and
the left commanded by Capt Caldwell, with a
reserve commanded by Major Hardiinan, with
Capt. Ward’s company. <*n advancing near
the Indians they formed for action, with a front
of woods on their right, (widen they occupied)
their lines extending near a quarter of a mile in
to the prairie. I dismounted my men, and a
handsome lire was opened—the Indian Chiefs
curveting around in splendid style, on front and
flank, finely mounted, and dressed in all the
splendor of Camaucbe warfare; at this lime
several Indians fell from their horses, and we had
three or four men wounded. Finding that the
Indians were disposed to keep at a distance, and
that a large body were assembled in the woods,
I ordered Col. Burleson, with the right wing, to
move around the point of woods, and Capt. Cald
well, with the h ft wing, to charge into the woods,
which movements were executed in gallant style,
i’he Ind ans did not stand the charge, and lied
at all points; from that time there was a warm
and spirited pursuit for 15 miles; the Indians
scattered, mostly abandoning their horses and
faking to thiekels. Nothing could exceed the
animation of the men, and the cool and steady
manner in which they would dismount, and de
hver their fire. Upwards of 10 Indians were kill
'd— two prisoners (a squaw and a child) taken ;
we have taken upwards of 2UO horses and mules,
, many of them heavily packed with the plunder of
hinuiville and the lower country. We have lost
otle killed and seven wounded—one mortally. I
L annot speak too highly of the Colorado, Gauda
fupe and Lavacca militia, assembled so hastily
to gether, and without organization, I was assisted
Major Izod, Col. Bell, and Captain Neill, as
'mliintecr aids, all of whom rendered essential
I believe we have given the Camanches
a Wson which they will long remember; near
duo ol their bravest warriors have been defeated
half their number, and I hope and trust that
this will be the last of their depredations on our
frontier. On to-morrow I contemplate embody
lfl? as many men as 1 can, and ifwe have a suffi-
Cle nt number of good horses, pursue the Indians,
to she hopes that we may overtake them betoic
toey reach the mountains.”

Gkxeral Ha it ii isox’s Resignation.— The
following extract is taken from a letter addressed
to Gen. Harrison, in May, 1814, by his military
stall’on learning his determination to resign his
commission. After speaking of the triumph
achieved by Gen. H. and of “ the blessings im
parted by him to a frontier where there had been
no peace for twenty years,” they say :
Although your country has a right to claim
your assistance in her struggles, and you are
bound to afford it upon honorable principles, and
however your retirement may deprive her of her
gratest chieftain, yet, un !cr existing circum
stances. we c mint but approve your determina
tion. Deprived, as you arc , of the most impor
tant prerogatives attached to your commission,
without the exercise of which no officer could
serve with honor to himself or advantage to his
country , and acting, as you lately have done, un
der circumstances having no parallel in military
usage, it became the first General in the nation
to protest against the innovation, and, if possi
ble, arrest the progress of a system equally novel
and dangerous,and unquestionably the cause of
the failure, defeats and disgraces of the army.
The dignified forbearance which marks your con
duct under present difficulties is a satisfaction to
your friends, and your country will approve your
motives, when she is informed of the causes
which have compelled you to resign. But a lit
t’e while, and the inducements to conceal your
motives will cease to exist. Then an impartial
world will delight to rank you with Fabiua and
Washington.”

Autograph Letter of Christopher Co
! tu.M hus. —An officer of the United Sta’es Navy,
during his recent ciuise in the Mediterranean, ob
tained from the American Consul at Genoa, a
copy of a translation from the Spanish language
into the English of an autograph letter of Chris
topher Columbus, dated the 11th April, 1502, ad
dressed to the Bank of S. George, at Genoa.
Where, or when this letter was discovered, or in
j whose possession it may be, we are not informed;
1 nor is that of any material consequsnce. As a
J reminiscence of the discoverer of this continent,
it posscses an interest for all readers that will war
rant its insertion in our columns. In transmit
ting it to a gentleman in Washington, the officer
1 to whom we have alluded, observes:
“ I feel confident, from the long residence and
high esteem in which Mr. Champbell, our much
honored Consul at Genoa, is held, that he could
not have been easily deceived as to the correct
ness of the original autngraphical letter, of which
the enclosed is a copy.”
[On the outside of the cover in which the let
ter was found folded, is this inscription.
