Sir: Infurmatiou bus been received lit this De

si.ine persons, n*soiiiit«il for thut purpose in New
Y**rk, to curry out to Engfe*-, on s|«coluiioii, n
number of Minns nf the i«JRb* of S.ics nnd Foxes.
The object i* o-tderstood to lie to exhibit these poo-
pie in Europe fio moi-uy; and, ns the legal guardiaii
of the red men, the President feels hound to protect
them from this d.-yr.idutioii:
This Department, then-fun-, in conformity wMt
his orders, hns taken nil tlinpieciiutious in its pow-
er to prevent their ulHluclion from the Ui.ited Stutes.
A9 the measures adopted to prevent tln-ir Iming re
moved from the I ml um roiinirv may prove fruitless
when opposed lo the love of adventure of the In-
il.Htw uml the cupidity of • peculators, I have to tv-
quest that the Collectors of the porta of New Or-
li-nns and Mobile may lm instructn.l to inform the
district attorneys if aiiy attempt lie made tu embark
these Indians at oitherof these ports, in order thut
proper legal measures may Im taken to restore thorn

THE ELECTION—PETITION,
20/4 ull.
Wo till up to day, n complete •! it-ment of tho
:'l.*rtioii for Governor nnd memlieia of the Gener
al Assembly, hy wh’.rh it will liosecn that the Union
l).-m .erotic cundiduto has beuten his opponent,
1890 votes. * 1
In eighteen hundred und thirty seven, tha present
incumbent succeeded over hit competitor by u ma
jority of762, which mukosa guin touurpany since
that election, of 2658,
Our political opponents still contend that this
result ha* been produced by the agitation of tho
petition question, and sumo hove gnnero far at to
pronounce it a ptvconccr e l mensure. for the benefit
o.Tiie Union par.y. If it wus, the whole scliumo
wa* concoctod nnd n.-ted out hy Messrs. Lumpkin
and Flournoy, who have not to our knowledge
Imen suspected of a desire to advance the interests
of tbo Union party, and one of whom is now the
object of bitter execration by hit political at>octuu>*,
tlio whig*.
It will require but a slighc investigation to settle
the dispute st to which party the paternity ol this
mensure belongs. Col. I.tinpkiii I* u lawyer of emi
nence, nnd a man of d -Miction, uml a devoted
partisan in the whig rinks, and no rational man
would suspect him to utd in bringing the Union pur-
ty into power. Mr. Flournoy hi« never to our
knowledge ucted with the Union party, nor did wo
• ver hear it suggested until just before the lata elec
tion, uml we have no duulii that ho voted for Judge
Dougherty, s
Bui why U it that the whig* spare Col. Lumpkin,
wi ll-tlmv denounce Mr FlournovT Ho it more
■alente.1. equally zealous u .d indefut.gnhle, nnd yet
they breathe not his num -.
Tho most conclusive proof thnttl.e petition quc»-
lion was not u measure of the Union puny, arses
from the fact that in the Into rtiuvust of the legi«b

1 ho mude iu which the operation is conducted, is as
follows?
Usmdly, tho Banks In the Southern Stutes ad-

these securities, ore usually
. - ~jv are forwarded at once; but
the Cotton being much more tnniy in its movement,
they Irequenlly mature imforo its arrival | und the
C.itton has to be jorccd upon tho market; or thn
acceptor of the hill has to pledge the Cotton to
Brokers or Baukera, to raise the money to meet his
acceptance. This muy bo done when money is
plenty, without difficulty; but the moment it becomes
necessary for the holder of tlio Cotton, or thu Bank,
to realize th.? luu.U advanced on it; .hen theCotion
must lie sold, w hether during a depressed 01 favor
able market. W believer the Bank of England re-
luses to discount the Cotton receiver's bill upon his
Broker, endorsed by ins Bunker, his Banker can-
not give him nuy further mentis, treenuso, perudven-
tun?, rim Bunk of England has pother faro ngninst
transactions in cotton- Then tho cotton must bo
suld| nt nuy sacrifice lo tho spinners, who are well
advised of the iimnum of our staple thus rendv for F"*
sacrifice, und the period when it must bo fotced
upon 1I1- murk. t. It moreover mny happen thnt

whut does the planter und shipper trust to, wlten be

tisnii net of justice louurown party, and to di n-
•'UM-1: of an unjust imputitiim.
Why did n..t the whig pres* spe.k out against it
before the flection! Why did they not sei their

But still to show m ro conclusively, tlmt it wat
not »et cn foot «r pr- moled hy tin? Union party, we
hive only to point to the enur-o we pursued. .* We
•aw and felt thut a scheme wnsin progress nflism-
pie upon tho rightsof th-- peuplo—-ilmtthe rA««uu-
lion wus in danger, and wo under u sense of duty
from which we could n. t shrink, rrsolvsd to s/iiko
for onr country, and speak lit the name .if tlm pen*
pje. Wo did strike, end our arm was felt—we
dill speak, and nur voice wra heard. But consid
ering the question es fettled hy the public voice,
u-ul never expecting il again to agitate the public
tniml, with these remarks we leave it te its merited
oUivlon.
Li tho skill n»d judgment of 1 ho foreign house,
tlte rculizntioii of the property, nnd to thoir ability
nnd dispuuitiiiN to hold it until ilu? most favorable
mom-ntfor it* sale. The receiver of ihe cotton
risks nnihing, but the difference between llie market
vn ue ntid price advanced, unless the Inner is both
extravagant, and speculaiive, (uhicli one puny
°*i-bt not to «*k, nor thu other to give,) thin risk is
tr fling. '
U e are entirely uwaro that it mny be urged, that
probulily liiui-liiili* ol the produce of tho Globe is
ciiculutad hy the means of Bills of Exchange.—
It Is jest us certain thnt protested bills, drawn
against shipment* nf cotton, uro sentbnek by thou-
sunds nnd hundml* of ih»usunds of dollari, hy
evry packet, whenever tho market is temporarily
d. pressed. If the price is liiuli enough tu rov. r .
them, they are uccopled, if not, tlm reverse hmviiu-
bly follows.
We think from this statement, it must be nho-
gell.t-r olivi u# t ihm our great staple is without any
proteclien whatsoever; to sny n-.ibii g of ibe fact,
thut itmuystimetimrahoin the hin ds, and nt tha

the English houses, who have mill, red to tlio iuu-~
res* of their correspond.mi-s great firmness, ami fi-V

Indeed ii is rtltogellier imporaihle to conceive n
system of sale #o utterly defencelesa, for nn inqioro
hint n* tide, wh ch performs such 1111 essential of
fice iu regulniin- tho Kxchui.gosamiinfluei cingtlie-
curreucy of our country. u
We will now pio. ccd to the second branch.
2<l. Having thus dcinonrtruiud the injurious ten
dency of this system, the quest! n arises wliothor
their exist* within ourselves any remedy? The
avowed designs of this Convention being 10 devise-
some mean* to protect, in future, a most important
Am ricun interest, we pura et m.ce to iu cons dera
tion.
It mny nut be out ofplnce to advert to that de-
rongemeni in the monetary system of the United
Slates, which, in 1037, led 10 a u*pon*ian oftpecio
payments throughout tho American Republic. At
that time our country owed to Great Britain a large
commercial debt, urising out of the excess In value
of tho import* oftbe United States, in their trade
with England.
v To pny this balnnco in specie, wns impracticable-
— An unusually fuvoral le season had given us a
crop of unprecedented abundance in the coiton grow
ing •tnlcs. To transmit this property to the coun
try of our great cm. I iiur, as fast nt possible, oe an
evidence that the citizens of the United Suites were
neither wonting in ilia memm nor. tho disposition,
to redeem all their obligations, tliu aid of iho Bunk
ing Institutions of tho Union was invoked; nnd to
guard u part of Uie property, so transmitted, through
llieir instrumentality, from unnecestuiy sacrifice im
in the market nf consumption, the agency of Hum
phries itnd Biddle wns established at Liverpool-
The result of thnt agency, in winding tip the largo
crop of 1838,is conclusive proof of what may bo
dnue by consignees thoroughly devoted to Ameri
can inturerts, subject to no necessity by heavy ad
vances, to glut thu market by forcing upon it luigo-
stocks inconstant nnddisusierous succession.
In ibis brief outline, is embraced the whole head
and front ol the offeneo w hich has led to so much
animated di-cussion, und wido spread denuticiulioa
in the public prints, of b ill countries. Whenever*
however u dispassionate nnd disinterested judge
ment shull be proiiuorod upon the motive* and ob
jects of tho-e who cstn’ili-hed this agency, thnt
judgement will prove equally honorable tu their
sagacity, niul their patrioiiam; und to thn gentle-
nt«u in Liverpool who conducted iu affairs— who
■re entitled to tire abiding confidence of nur’ peo
ple, for tin? fidelity and firmness with which they?
adneru.i lo the interests ol their constituonn.
It might tmturnllyliuve be. n expected thnt when;
the causes which hud led 10 rim establishment o!7
tlii* ugency for the defence of our great staple hud.
Iteen O&svcd, tiro trade would full back into he
cliii.ti'M^un.l that the protection for our intarests
would be ample, wiih the m un* at tlm command:

No une sought to pivv.'Ut this. The field wax
