mttt< s-et-
\ grutt deal has been said by our Opponents, about
the ll.dtimore Convention, which some 12 months ago,
nominated Mr. Van Burcn for the Presidency. They
htvi rolled up the t lf r hite of their eyes at it, aud raised
their voices against it, as though such a Convention
was a thing without precedent, witlmnt parallel, and
ivithout reason! They have gone so fur ns to call said
assemblage, composed of delegates (we believe) from
22 out of the 21 States, a packed jury! a fraudulent
attempt to dictate to the people! a mustering of office
wen ami spoils men! and many other hard names
have been given it, to show their abhorrence of cnu-
cussos and caucus nominations. One would suppose,
ou hearing the pious groans of the Nullificrs against
this mode of nomination, liiat nothing would ever in
duce them to resort to a similar practice—that no con
sideration could 'prevail upon them to hold a convert-
fir so simple a purpose ns to select their candidates!
Bit r.iirabile dicta t the ink is hardly dry in which I
they denounced a convention, than it is again spilled to
recommend one! A convention at Baltimore is trea
son—but our at Alii ledge! die is the very pink of pa
triotism! A Van Uuren convention is an awful utfair,
but a White convention is the clean tiling!
After all that has iieen said by the opposition against
the Baltimore convention, what can be sad, what cau
bethought of their Into demonstration in .Mil ledge ville!
that it was a FULL convention I that ALL the Conn
ies sent delegates lo it ? that tho WHOLE PEOPLE
were represented at it t Not at all! delegates from
•oine 20 raid counties, out of 00 or more (li es than
ouo third.) only attended! And about ano half if
tlieso counties tints represented, (or as it would rather
appear, mis represented,) send Union members to the
Legislature, and will, in all probability give majorities
to the Union ticket for Presidential Electors: thus re
ducing the actual strength of ihe opposition in their
ll'hitc convention (as they have christened it.) to about

that a considerable body of Ituiiaus had attac
ked tho cucampmenf df .Major C. dii the third ut
fourth dpy after Geo. Scott’s command left them,
but they Were successfully repuked by the brave
Georgians. The Indians renewed their attack
upou Major Cooper for thirteen successive days,
but with no better success, than unfortunately
killing Mr. Zadork, Conk of tho Morgan Guards,
commanded by Cnpt. N. G. Foster.
After the juncliou of Major C. With General
Clinch, the fitter returned about two miles to
take an Indian trail, aud after prbfceidiog' ri day
or two without meeting any ludinns,* heard tho
cannon of Col. Lindsay, fired at toil o’clock, A.
M. as a signal. They reached Col; L’s camp
bfcfbrfc evening. He w as encamped on tbo great
Ouitlilacoochee.- bad been suffering as Well as
some of his men from sickness, but was recovering.
Col. L. stated that he left Tampa on tho 14tli
tilt- and was attacKcd by a party of Indiaus while
crossing the Hillsboro river aud had one of his
men uufortuuntcly killed, Mr. James Branham,
of the Alabama Volunteers, a son of Dr. Ilcnry
Braubam of Putnam county, in this State, a
young volunteer, whose loss was sincerely regret
ted.
Gen. Clinch’s division having separated from
Col. Lindsay’s (tho latter intending to return to
Tampa.) proceeded on their way to Fort King-
On their march, before reaching Fort King; oue
of the mourned flankers, Mr. Bostick of the Jef-
fersou troop, was fired upon by iudiaus, aud
v ouuded, though not severely. His horse was,
however, so badly wounded as to die shortly af
ter. The Indians although fired upou. escaped.
This division reached Fort King without ntty
other iucidenls, except passiug ovor the interes
ting battle grottud of Major Dade, and falling iu
with, at two different times, near two hundred
head of cattle aud three ponios with_ halters.—
They arrived at Fort King on the 25th, where
they learned that the Iudiaus bad made prison
ers of two fiieudly Squaws who were washing
about one hundred yards from the Fort. One is
the wife df Indian Billy who, with his son, Was
without* army at the time.
At Fort Kiug they first learned that Fort Drane
had been attacked, and some negroes aud severat
horses captured, while outside toe Fort. Major
Cooper’s bnitajidn was left at Fort Drane on the
27th ult. aud expected soon to he discharged.—
The mounted men from Georgia had been ^dis

by two Indians. Mr. Ferth .vas wounded—his
arm brnkcu by a rifle ball. Both readied the

driving in a cart, and which they left on being
attacked, was taken by the Indians. They cut
the harness off him. aud one of them mounting
the ungeared animal, rode off.
On Wednesday morning, 2 o’clock! tho ?<?th
iusl an attack was mnde ou Fort Drane-—Tho
sentinel 011 duty says that the attack was inado
by about fifty Indians, all mounted. They first
fired on the house of Mr. Led worth, near the fort,
in whirh were three or four persons, who fled to

tinued one hour. The few men under Capt

intolerable, for they still regard themselves ns
lords of the soil; and, notwithstanding your laws
are extended ovor this wholo region, they com
tnit their outrages upon the white* with impuni
ty.
To give you an idea of their depredations. I
will state a few particulars that occurred whilst
I was iu Barbour. Oti Sunday uight, a party
of some tcu or fifteen Indians came t6 the house
of tho Rev. James E. Glenn, at a late hour of
tbo night, broke open his coni crib, nnd loaded
five of tbeir ponies. They left about daylight:
the son of Mr. Glenn and his nephew pursued
them a short distance, nnd overtook them at a
cane-brake, about a half a mile from the crib—
they at:empted to stop , them, but the Iudiaus
made battle, oue of whom discharged his rifle at
his pursuers, who were compelled to retreat.—
About the same time a party of the Uchees drove
off nearly the whole of Dr. Wilboru’s stock,
some of which thev slaughtered, as I was told,
upon his own land in open day.
Such, sir, is now the situation of that country,
that the enterprising citizens who have gone there,
find no protection from the JEgis of your laws:
but must submit in silence, to* the most wanton
and savage outrages upon their property, and
their rights as frecraeu. I am sure such abuses
might be prevented—and, if jour Governor wou!d
establish a military guard of 100 men in tho Na
tion, ttf bring to condign punishment, a few of
these offenders, tho whole might be suppressed,
at once, and the country bo tranquil. P.

with other nations, have made ns snttnalu_ amends, or
are about to do so; our government artmlnisiered on
the principle that \vc will uot ask of any foreign nation
more than they ought to grant, nor will wc pdv Pp
with less than we ought to receive, ft!any ol .those
happy results have been brought about by the wisdom
and nrumess of that venerable veteran now at the bead
of our Government, who has, by his firmness, staid
the march of that jkj'draheaded piopsfer, the United
States’ Bank, and altlioiigh for three yeiits past he has
Hecn opposed by the aristocratic branch of our Goverr^
liient, and failed iu many of his attempts for the good
of our country, yet lie lifts/ by his lhoyt than Roman
firmness, triumphed overall his opposers, aiid displa
ced our conntr)* in the enviable situation mentiCrte j,
before, bis enemies have had to give way to the indig 1
nation of the people and his frieijisanu has now a
preponderance where lately there ifiMhing wlnt /i
could be esteemed too vile, said of him. His nomina
tions have hecn confirmed, nuri men every way quail*,
fied, have beeu appointed to till the most important of
fices of the Government, which have been loft vacant
because that body, w liicb had a veto on his iicu’.inatroiv!.
would not consent to these worthy men filling the stjv
tions to \thich he had nominated thorn . That very bo
dy will ere Jong, expunge from their journals that un
just sentence which they have passed op ium unheard,
and whose defence they’ refused to enter alongside, ot
tho unjust* condemnation, but an insulted sovereign
peoplo have demanded its expurgation, and have * ih-
siructcd their soi fhiiwto have it done, aud it will bo
done, and the injured patriot will retire from office ten
times more popular even than when lie entered it.—
There is yet one more measure which he has much at
heart, and would have accomplished g!*j tbis,-hut for
the aforementioned opposition:.tiie removal of the (r,-
dians weSttff the* Mississippi. Buy he will aecompusb
that in the short time he "lias yd to preside over this
happy Republic, or will leave it in such forwardness
that it will soon be accomplished after his time is but,
for he has said to two of our worthy ar.d valuable I* 1-
presentatives, when asking for their immediate remo
val, "rest contented, ^gentlemen; all tjtiugs will bo
right.” He has struggled to obtain* fM. ps ^pr, limits
when a faction among ourselves have bebli illufing
him for bis exertion- in our favi r. For all these beney
fits conferred upon our happy country by him, we of
fer him our most hearty good wishes, and hope the
evening of his life may bo spent in retirement at his
hermitage, as happy is its meridian has been brilli-*ml
and useful. :* 1 j*
