'' 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!

Editor—For the last tcu days I have been attentively examining the lauds in that por tion of your State denominated the Creek Na tion. aud, to my great surprise, I ba^o found much beautiful planting land. Buiug, hereto fore, impressed with tho belief, that a vefy targe portion of the territory was exceedingly poor, nod that there were no conrideiabJe ’>odjeS of rich land to be found. I am happy' to sfty 1 was greatly mistaken, for 1 assure you, 1 ucver saw afinercottou country than I travelled over, be low the Old Federal road. The Haicbechubby and Cowega creeks afford large bodies of the richest lime land, and would be settled up at once, but for the outrages of the Indians, whirh is now 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.
