THE AUGUSTA MIRROR.
This neat publication has reached us. It has its
usual attractions, and wo aro glad to receive it so
punctually. Tho 44 Mirror ” should bo supported,
and we aro glad to see that its prospects so far are

which Mr. Leigh, son of B. W. Luton, of Virginjn,
got badly wounded, in Woodville, ( Miss ) Messrs.
Davis and Moor* mot, on the 27lh ult, about two
miles below Woodville, with rifles. Davis shot
Moore, at tho word, "present,” before Moore
could pull tho trigger. Moore received the ball
through his side, and died it) a few minutes.
03* Owing to the disparity of rank that exist*
between a French Vico Admiral and an American
Post Captain, some coolness existed between Ad
miral Baudin and Com. Shubrick, at I’ensacoln.
The rules ofthe French service is such, that the Ad
miral, however inclined,could not consider the Com
mander of the U. S. Squndron ns an equal, because
he was not an'Admiral. Our highest officers have
experienced this difficulty with the English and
other foreign powers, and Congro-a alone can re
medy It, by giving tho proper naval rank to our offi
cers.
THE PRESIDENT’S DEPARTURE.
We take the following from last Tuesday's New
York Evening Post:—
The President af tho United States at unno’clock,
P M.| this Jay lolt Washington Hall for the north.
He whs attended for some distance on his depar
ture, by the Mayor, a poriimi ofthe Common
Council, tho Young Men’s Committee on horaelmck,
and a large conoourso of other citizens in carriagos
and on horseback.
APPOINTMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT.
Algernon Sindey Lewis, Receiver of Public Mo
neys at Now Orleans, Vico Thos. H. Kennedy, re
signed.
Parker Dudley, Receiver of Public moneys at Pal
myra, Missouri, vice Abraham Bird, removed.
Thomas A.S. Doniphan, Cnlleutorof the Customs,
Natchez, Mississippi, vice James Stockman who
did not qualify.
The New York Gazette mentions the arrival at
that port ofthe French corvette Ygunlo, Lieutenant
Labotde, from Havana. The Yguole is Baltimore
built, and was captured by the French from tbo
Mexicans. Site i* barque rigged and carries foul-
teen guns—having on board but a very small num
ber of mnn, Sh« is bound to France ns a souvenir
of the French affairs in Mexico.—Ball. Pat.
The.Notfolk Beacon, ofthn 10th inst. says, that
tho French brig nf war Ore*te, Cupt. Mure, has an
chored off Fort Nutfulk. She is 19 day* from Port
Itoyal, Martinique, hound to Brest, nnd has put in
for supplies. Officers and crew nil well.
Salutes were exchanged between the Oreate, and
the flag ship Java.
The New York papers state, that while the Pre
sident of tho United States was seated ut the break*
fast table in that city on Saturday morning, he was
informed that an old lady upwards of one hundred
years of age wns present, anxious to see him. Up
on this the President went into the boll to bring her
in. It appeared that she is in her one hundrod and
fourth year. Her name is Hannah Gouge, nnd she

soeAovcry President of the IJnitud States, had sha

"ALL THE DECENCY PARTY.’’,
The editor of the Madisonian, having been invit
ed to dine with Mr. II. A. Wise, and his " Whig”
friends on. Windmill Islund opposite Philadelphia,
but being unable to attend, sent tho fallowing toust:
The American Eagle—His life blood, liberty ; his
cyo, eternal vigilance; his wings, commerce and
manufactures; his talons, the army and navy; his
fatness, agriculture; his strength, the Union; his
flight, the circuit of the world; his , loco

Ad ominous name, Windmill Island. We would
have thought Mr. Wise required no Mill to aid

The Captain of the ship Christopher Colon, last
from Havana, was arrested at Now York on Mon
day, for an nUndgcd attempt to violate the quaran
tine laws. The ship sailod from Havana on tho
23d, but the log book was altered, and her depar
ture noted ns. having taken place on tho 17th ult.
The fraud was discovered by tho arrival of vessels
which sailed from Havana on the 20th, nt which
time the Colon was In port. Tho Captain wns held
to bail in the sum of $3000, and the mate, who had
sworn to the truth of the log book, fully committed
on tbo charge of perjury.

B3“ That there may bo no ’mistake concerning
the " Whig" communications, which have appear-
ed of lato in the Charleston Courirt, Saturday’*
edition of that paper has the following from the
editor :—
Our Whig Correspondents continue Jo avail
themselves cf the privilego of our columns—they'
aro clever fellows, and we cannot he so discourteous
as to refuse them a place. Are there no cham
pions ready to take up the guuntlet so boldly thrown
clown t Occasionally wo have tilted with tho
Whig chivalry ourselves—but is there no uuo else
willing to handle tho Democratic spear ?
Naval.—The U. S. ship Cyane, Cupt. Percival-
sailed from Pulormo for Port Mahon. Tito U. S.,
ship Ohio passed Gibraltar 31st May for Port Ma
hon.
We are requested to suy that tho reception ofthe
President at Brooklyn, and all tho arrangements for
it, wore made hy tho authorities and citizens with
out reference to party. Sevuml of tho most active
gentlemen were whigs, and the city government, it
is well known, has o majority of Whigs.—N. Y.
Jour. Commerce, 9th inst.
Tho abuvn is a flat contradiction of the asser
tions of the N, Y. "Whig” pnpers, that the recep
tion of the President in Brooklyn, was u mereparly
affair.
AUGUSTA AND SAVANNAH.
The Brunswick Advocate, of Saturday last, has
tho following sensible remarks, which we extract
frum a long article on the same subject:—
Augusta has overlooked Savannah long enough-
Tho energy and success of tho Charlestoniuns is al
most unexampled. • In commercial enterprise and
cuteness they are certainly more than a match for
any "Yankees” you cun point out. Let Charleston
once have this continuous lipo of Railroad open
through Augusta to tho interior, and her supreme
ascendnney is forever established ut tho expense of
both Augusta and Savannah. Charleston will then
bo the centre and sun of tho system, around which
will revolve by fixed and immutablo laws, Savan
nah, Auguslu, Athens, und nil other towns touched
by the ramifications of this Railroad.
Mr D’Antignac deserves tho thunks of his fellow
citizens, his reasoning is correct; und no fallacy can
be invented to disprove it.
TO "WINE BIBBERS.”
We take the following from the N. Y. Journal
of Commerce, 10th inst. It is especially dedicated
“good society.”
When my husband comes homo drunk on
brandy," said un nfllicted wife, " ho goes to bed
and snoozes it out; but when ho gels drunk on
wine, I und my children have to floe for our lives."
The intoxication of wine, in many cases at least, is
worse than thut of rum or whiskey. In these days
of reform, tho more fiery liquids are chiefly banished
from " good society," but wine is considered u much
more harmless visitant. We tiro not so sure of it.
Ten years hence, when we sec the ripe fruits of
wine-dt inking, we can hetteejudge. Many ave try
ing th<* experiment, wo fear,—futally to themselves
and their dearest friends.

Wo should remark, howaver, that the above ac

lulled for the York pres*, hy foreign letter

(CP The New Orleans Bee, of the 9th inst., men
tions thnt BustaMkntk ha* recommended to the
people of Mexico, to submit to tho rule of Santa

states that Santa Ana "merits the gratitudo of
the Mexican nation," and thnt “ ho will be the first
to obey him a* President ” Bustamknte, may, in
truth, bo said to have ubdicatcd in favor of Santa

THE "VIRGINIA HOTSPUR."
Frorti what follows, it will bo seen that Mr H. A.
Wise, the great fire enter, can swallow his own
words at limes, in n mure genteel mode, than ho
can utter them. The tiuih is, he hud got into a
scrape with J. H. Pleasants, of tho Richmond
Whig—a tough one, and was, at usual, wrong.—
His friends haJ to drug him out of the mire, and
heie is the conclusion of tho nffuir between the edi
tor of thn "Whig," an I the modern HoTsruRt
Mr. Wise having used highly offensive and inju-
riou* language towutd* Mr. Pleusnnis, under un
entire misapprehension (as we tuke it up«n us to us-
sure him it was,) of Mr Pleasant’s meaning—wo
think he ought not to hesitate to express, what we
do not doubt ho will feel, bis regret tor having used
iitcii language, and to retract it, und thut thereupon

tual utid cordial respect und goodwill towards each

READ THIS 03* STATE RIGHTS MEN.
The Northern ‘Whig” press is up inarms ugoinst
the following sentiments. Now, we usk the State
Rights party of Georgia, do they respond to tho
sentiments of the Globe}—or do they repudiate
them?
Tho N. Y. Commercial of the 11th has the follow
ing introductory:
NuuriCATioS.—In *nnfirmntfon of a remark
made by us yesicrJuy, that "the democracy" are
once more swinging round to the pestilent and trea
sonable doctrines of nullification, we extract the
following article from tho government paper, the
Globes—
State Rights.—Weperceive that tho Richmond
Whig, und other kindred prints, have tho disinge
nuousness to uscribe to us an offensive motive in ex
tracting from a Northern paper un article justly
complimentary to Mr. Poinsett, in which lit*course
in the nullification contest is incidentally alluded to.
Upon this subject we will make no hypocritical pre
tensions, for the purpose of obtaining available sup
port. We have loo much respect for our stale rights
friends to suppose that their confidence could bo
won by hollow flattery.. This, however, wecun suj
in all commence, that we havo u much greater sym-
pathy even with what we may havo deemed their
errors, than with the opposite extreme of consolida
tion and irs federal progeny. In their devotion to
state rights they cannot exceed us, nnd their pr-sent
noble ami disinterested support of the true princi
ple* of the constitution, communda our warmest ad
miration and esteem. Some of us may differ as to
the remedy to be empluyed in cases t<f flagrant in
fraction of reserved rights, but we all agree iu the
importance of maintaining them in their lull integri
ty,aecure alike from open outrage und sophistical in
fringement. All the little influence or ability which
we may possess, •hall be exerted to thi* end,<u that
iho necessity may never ugain recur for u harsh re
medial interposition. In ibis case prevention is in
deed better than cure.
State Rights men, pause—and see who are the
friends of your principle*! The Democrat* or the
"Whigs." Let prejudice not blind your eyas.

Falkland, lately deceased, a well known noble
black-log. Tho Earl declined piny, but partook of
tho pleasures ofthe table, nnd soon fell under the sumo

than the juice of the grupu. Ho was sent home,

ot-ccd to pocket the'cash. A day nflor, tho devoted
Earl was waited on by another gentleman, who do
tnanded £13,000, which ho said the Earl had lost,
nnd which, he said, he had won. In vain did tho Enrl
declare thnt ho handled neither dio or card. His

C7* A Correspondent of an evening pn|>cr, who

This, writer speaks of our addressing tint passions
ofthe "aliens in tlio city and State ” Wo ktmw
not whom he terms aliens, as wo do not consider
ntiy American citizen cun bo an alien—wo address-
ed our fellow-citizens, without distinction. We
leave tho article, however, to nil nur readers: who
will pcritso it without tho party gall, which ibis uauny.
tiiotts scribbler betrays in his pointless reply ]J a
passes over tho assertion of the pamphleteers, to
extract a handbill which,Ac says, whs cireulnted in
New York, just previous to the Charter Election.
Now, oven if this curious and impolitic handbill was
the emanation of one or mnro udapted citizons, it fo
not sufficient to charge n people, who have, with u
few exceptions, made us good republicans, ns any
other naturalized foreigners, with tho object nf sub
verting our government, nml contemplating a Rev
lution. Such insinuations against a virtuous class
of our countrymen, may suit tlio pages of" Whig
pamphlets, nnd tho column* of modern “ Whig"
papers—but we think them so innocuous, that wo
shall resorvo tho venom for which this writer gives
us credit, for tlio snake that would with this writer’
spirit, bruise us, if ho dare.
We ore of opinion that there is nn occasion to re-
peul tlio Naturalization Laws, as wo believe they
induce tlio hardy yeomanry and Ingenious mnehuni*
of other lands, to adopt this country as their own—
nor do we dread being inundated w.fii convicts from
other climes, as our luw* are strung enough already
to oxclude such p- rsutts from the right of citizen
ship. Nul with our own enterprise, our industry,
and talents, combined with the labor and ability of
the foreign nriitnn, wo nre already supplying sumo
of the oldest countries of Europe with 1 cotnotivcs
and engines thut are unsurpassed for durability ai.d
beauty. Wojovo our country too much to deprive
it of these advantages to satisfy tlm ill-grounded fears
—wllie morbid feelings of "disappointed politicians.”
But, without enlarging— when the whigs abandon
their anti-republic nt sontimohu—ai.d havo thrown
overboard tltoir favorite project* of " alien and se
dition laws," tlu n they will find that tho adopted
citizens of America, are incorruptible putriuts—but
nut till thou. Thn editor of a New Orleans paper,
in reply to a writer, who holds opinions bordering
on those evinced hy a "File,” says:
14 When ho can luy his linger on u foreign traitor
—or foreign conspirator; ono whoso fealty bus
been pledged to America, then will wo join tbo Na
tive American Associatim, and strenuously oppose
grunting of any, the most trivial privilege to
foreigners. Nay, wo will even go farther; for, not
satisfied with a repeal of tho natumlizitiou laws,
we will debar them tlio inestimable privilege of
digging our cunuls and dying in our ditches! of
bla-tingourquurrrius, and being bluttvd tliemsolves.
in more ways than one, in return—of draining our
Routine marshes, or being buried in them!—of
making our roads or making their fortunes! In u
word, of performing nny species nf rannuol labor,
now’ considered in anywise degrading for natives.
Yes! whoa Kuvopeuu emigrants prove at alt recre

hended from thani, then, wo suy, as u matter nf

closed to their future admission—arid an inquisito
rial and sleepless vigilance observed, with regard
to all claiming tho old world for their natnl place.

TIIE "SIAMESE TWINS’’ OF THE PRESS.
The Georgia Journal of iho 9th inst. copies the
following from tlm paper of it* twin-brother, tlio
Louisville Journal,cdiiuuhy Mr. Geo. D. Pren
tice, historiographer extraordinary to tlm " Whig"
candidate for the presidency, tlm Hon. Henry
Clay.
"The Milfodgovilln Journal nominate* Ex-Gov-
ernor Troup, of Georgia, asacaudiduie for the Pres
idency. If the Ex Governor persist* in being a can
didate, we must certainly bring out Gen. Guinea hi
opposition to him. Tlio old Genornl fairly over
crowed him once, and we presume hu can do it
again."
The Georgia Journal does not feolindignunt, a*
it should, at this impertinent thieui to burlesque the
revered name which it ha* placed wilhuut authority
in its columns, for the high office of President of the
Unitud Siute*. Oil, no • ns It i* tbo effusion of a
4 Whig" brother, it simply *iiy#, " wo on pardon
‘the raillery contained in ilia above extract." Very
forgiving Mr. Georgia Journal! But wo will not
forgivu tbo impudent comparison which ha*been
rnado by iho witdng Prentice, who extolled his
patron, Mr. Clay, ui 44 the friend of universal
emancipation,” Hi tho book he published, und call
ed tho life of that gentle-nan—nor can wo forgive
the Georgia Journal, for indiscreetly using Gov.
Troup’s name that Mr. Prentice might uncork
his flabby wit nt ii* expense.
Lei tho Georgia Journal taken lesson from that
very significant paragraph—and see tho effect of
hi* ruinous policy. If every St*tc in tho Union
were to start a candidate of its own. how could the
voice of the people of tho whole Union be heard—
or be known l The evident design of tho Georgia
papers, which use iho name of Gov. Troup, is not
to elovutc that worthy individual, but to throw away
the vote of the Stute, nnd wo might rare little in
deed for their unwiso proceedings, did they not in
volve tho uuine of ouc of Georgia’s most honored
sons in u bootless controversy. See the result! A
paper subject to the control of Mr. Clay, in Ken
tucky, comes out now, and threatens a 4 * Whig’’ or
gan ut Milledgovillc in Georgia, that it will come
out with Gen. Gaines in opposition to the nomina
tion of its Georgia brother!
General Gaines, Gen. Scott, and Gen. Harri
son, would no doubt make a most imposing mili
tary display—but, wo bog leave to say, though they
are all very good men in their way, perhaps. Urn
people of Georgia, do not think they are the right
materials, with which to make a President.
\V« may *uy the saran of Mr- Chy. He is " uo
bill" in Georgia.
To what straights must tho 44 Whig*’’ of Georgia
be driven to, when they are left without tho shadow
uf a hope—for every one knows that Gov Troup
is not yf them—he has no communion witli them ?

LATE FROM FLORIDA.
Copy of n letter from ii young officer of tho army
o hi*friend in this city, dated
Fort Lauderdale, E. F {
June 20th, 1839. {
Dear Friend:—It is now nearly two months
since wo lutvo either soon or heard of a civilized be
ing. Tbo Steamers formerly in tho employ of tho
Government havo been discharged, and tho only
ono routined has boon sent reuud to Tampa Bay
with Col. Harney, who W to remain in Florida
this Summer, to perfect tho treaty, nnd ascertain
iho boundaries, nnd settle other business relative
to tins now tract allotted the Indians.
It is supposed two regiments of foot remain boro
this summer, of which thu 3d is one, no our pros
pects are gloomy enough. Wu lutvo nearly all been
nick hero already—all thu officers—I am just re
covering from a severe nttack.—I believe I should
have a greater chance for my life were u mill-stone
tied round my nock and I thrown into the sen, llinn
to remain hero this summer. It is indeed most dis
mal to listen in a still night to the ceaseless ciouk-
ingn of frogs, nnd moaning* uf alligntors— iho sound
aoems to re-echo from ono extremity of the territory
to tltn other, soumingly saying "this is our dominion,
not man’s." At lust thn Indians havo left their
hiding places and come to visit us; during the lust
month wo hnvo received ut this post upwards of
100 warriors, and girls, women nnd children innu
merable; In fa t they havo become lutterly rather
a boro to us than uny thing else, being the most con
summate beggars that ever existed; whiskey will
not Kutisfy them, they must have all tho cooking,
glasses, beads, sogur* and cloths, they can spy in
your tout; usk a girl which of two handkerchiefs
she will take, and she invariably answers both.
Of lato I havo taken considerable pit<ns to nscer
tain from thu Indians tliomsclves us much of their
history, religion, and manners ns I thought consist
ent with our present policy, without exciting their
suspicion. Of the formor inhabitants of Floridu
thoy know nothing, nor do thoy know more ofthum-
lelvcs thnt) that they are a remnant of tlio tribe of
Muscogee*, (Creeks) which formerly inhabited
Georgia und Alubumu. The Mickuxukios and Se
minole* aro now tho Floida Indians proper, though
there are s.iinu Choctaws and Chicknsnws, a fact J
learned but a few days ago, und of which I believe
tlio Government is perfectly ignorant. Thu Mick-
asukics are the most savage, though fewest, and
their appearance does not ut nil belie their churuc
A few days ago, Sum Jonu*, die real Simon
l’ure, paid us n visit, tegovher with Chlttu-Uts-to-
iiu-gec (snake warrior,) and his Sense Keeper, a
most Uemuniucal looking negro; those, with u few
oilier*, Sain brought with him, gnvc u* a lino spe
cimen of their daring trilai;—they number 250 1
the Scmiuoies 1,000—so snith Sain It i* very well
known thnt those Micknsukies havo ulono prolong
ed tho wur. having repeatedly shot runne rs und
messenger* sent hath by whites and Indians. Sant
made quite a sensation a* ho oiitorod our camp,
lie is a mil, sparo old man, with locks as while u*
the crutio feather* ho wore in his ginVe, and dress
ed uut in all his toggery, ut tho head of thoso fierco
Mickasuckies, together with tho negro, looked more
like tho leader of a blind of fiends than human be
ings.—I might liken him to a king, but then such a
name fur bis majesty—only think, Sato Jones tho
fisherman. This is die first liitto he ha* boon in
since tho commencement of tho wur, ami I think it
augurs woll that ho catno to that conclusion, as ho
possesses vast influence among thorn, and propose*
to exert it a# wc wish, though If thoy choso, tho war
might have been prolonged 20 yonr# lunger, as
himself #nys, for tlio past year thoy havo ull boon
in die deepest recesses of tlio swamps, concealed
beyond the remotest search of tho white man, and
there they might havo continued ih spite of us ;
arid so close hnvo they kept themselves, thut wo
iiuvo entirely miscalculated their numbers—und
some lmvo supposed them in a starving condition,
uiul without clothing, &c , hut thu iippcurauco of
those 1 have seen testifies but too woll to their ca
pacity fur vigorous rosisluncn.
I havo been rather more particular In endeavor
ing to ascertain their sentiments oti tho subject of
religious belief—though of thnt they say they know
nothing, only giving what they think and tho old
pooplo say. Whan death lays them below tlio
ground, thoy say u sort of corporeal being liku iliolr
former solves (they cannot concufvo of a spirit) goes
to that part of tho the world where the sun gocs
down, them bo hunts, fishes, und eqjoys himself, if
ho has been a good warrior, bo finds plenty of gome,
if not, none. This is all I could obtain from thorn,
having a singular aversion to nil such conversation
on abstract subjects, not being ablo to comprehend
ihctn. They nre tho most practicul pooplo in tlio
world, eating and sleeping, being their chief plea
sures. From ono of tho younger men, who were
more loquacious, I sought some information on the
subject of ghosts; he believed in thorn, and bad
seen ono; bud been hunting, and saw, during the
night, his undo who had been dead oight days be
fore, with a houd as large as hi* body; ho wus
frightened nearly to doath, wa« sick for two days—
aftci ward* went to the spot and found a white crane
standing thore-^most conclusive proof, ha thought,
of the existouco of tlio ghost. IIo was siluuced at
last hy uno of thu old moil who said ho was talk
ing foolishness-
During our intervals of leisure, having nothing
else to do, we would talk to them uf Astronomy, of
what tho white man was enabled to sen in tho moon
by moans ofudescopo*, that (hero were mountains,
trees, waters, and perhaps people liko those on tho
earth; wo would icll them of tho wonders of suit
ing on tho ocean without sight of thn tun, or land i
and all thvy would exclaim, wus //*’•/«, (word uf nt-
to'.ishnient) und *ny they did nut brli -ve it, Thu)
manifested also a singular indifference towards ull
the wonders of our time, either in *ktll or power.
An Indian will go mi hoard a itrumbout, (life hoot

what a hot fire, und never conceive of admiring the

than themselves, we call the wisdom of our grand
fathers, foolishness; the Indian will nut add u soil
to bis canoe, with us every day brings its improve

AL1F-NS—NATIVE AMERICAN ASSOCIA
TION.
Mr. Editor j—Thu adopted citizens of tlio Uni
ted Slates, who liuvu nindo Gonrgla thoir choice,
feel tlwt they havo not one sentiment which is
"alien” to thn high diameter of nil American
citizen—although tho 44 accident" of their birth
caused thorn to bo natives uf another land—tliuir
hearts have boon cmvsocnucd to tho free Institu
tions of this Imppy nation.
In tho full tide of rauulioml, and when men aro
reu’ly capable of judging for thmnsdvex, they lmvo
aw.>ru cm the altar of thoir ndoptod country, eternal
fidelity te hoc laws—her institutions,' uml this.oath
ofallogiuuce they havo never yet broken.
A scribbler in that Whig print, or rather Whig
re-print, tho Savannah Republican, or MriMny,
has thought lit torako up n spurious'handbill from
the pages of 44 an Address of tho Louisiana Native
American Association," for tlio purpose of casting
an tmjuitutlun oh tho Irish adopted citizen* of
Georgia, und especially those of Savannnh. I tell
that scribbler, that I, an adopted citizen, believe
that hundbill to bo forged for tho yllo party pur-
pu-cs ofthe 117(<g«uml 41 Native American Party,’’
—and do bcliora that no such handbill was over
circulated in New York—or, IF IT WAS, it was
tlio work of some IVhigs of that city, to rn/ra/> und
disgrace tho Irish adopted citizens. No deutomj-
tic Irishman, over wrote it.
What proof has tlio Whig writer, tlmt iho hand-
hill ho mentions over existed J None—except tlm
fact tljat,3it. appear* in a pamphlet’tlmt 'libels nil
foreigners, French, Scotch, Itallutt—but more
pcciatly THE IllISH—who lire iilwuy# made the
oxporimoutnl blocks for every " Native American ’’
skave-brggar, to try his bund upon, like ttus scrib
bler, in tlio Whig Republican. Tito existence of
tlio handbill in thut 44 address,’’ is o proof that it is
spurious—for tlioro aro not u dozen lines of truth
iu tlio whole composition,
How is it, that tlio Wigs nre over ready to
abuse and condemn tbo Irish adopted citizens /
llecuuxo they are not Whigs—nnd tlm countrymen
of the gallant Muntciomku y, who reside lu SiiVun-
tmh, ns they are elsewhere, aro—nearly to a man—
Democrats, and supporters of thoso measures,
which, if carried out, will cfi’octually nmko us one
people. This Suvnunuli 1 Vhig would slander Irisli
men—it is the nature of Whigs to do so. But tbo
BALLOT-uux is ii weapon which tho Irish adopted
citizons can use as woll ns tho Whigs—anil 1 liopo
that noxt October, they will prove by their votes
thut they have no sympathy with thoso who would
deprive thorn of tho rights giluruntood to thorn hy tho
Constitution—who would trumplo on tho green em
blem of thoir country—und fling their lmrp to tho
winds,
Tlio writer signs himself a " File." No doubt lie
is a rogulnr file of Whig notions—but the Irish
adopted citizens of Savunnnb despise such opini
ons, and would toll him to file awuy ull such musty
prejudices, and sliumoloss bigotry, where they ivlir
never again bo soon—thoy uru unfit for this enlight
ened ago If ho cannot do this, lot him muvu to
Now Orleans, nnil join tho 44 Native American As
sociation." Ho enn bo spnred'liero—or tnnybo ho’d
try to form n nice littlo " Native Associutinu” of
his own. Lot him try that game.

AFFAIRS IN FLORIDA.
Judging from tbe tone of the news papers in that
Territory, we should be induced to tuppnsu that o
great degree of excitement ex'sted with respect to
the late purification of tho Indians; but other uc
counts, both oral and written, give a contrary im*
prossinn, and represent that tbo excitement is con’
fined to those who are interested in continuing tho*.
wur, or for some cause desire tho total expul/ion o l
thelndior-s.
Among thu latest and most positive testimony
that wo have seen, of the peaceable imoutioluxef
dm Indians, and of tho. satisfaction of tho inli
tents nr tha conclusion of hostilities, is that i
mined in n letter written to Major General Mucfmh,
by Colonel* Wairen and Mills, who commanded
each a regiment of Florida militia, hovu truvjripd
lint whole Territory, nnd are familiar wjifttlio
viows and feeling* of tho citizons. This letter 1* *0
much to the point, thut wo requested and have ob
tained a copy for publication.

General: You will no doubt hnvu been sumo
