' ■ Indeed, xx ith the I nion Course weights up on her back she could I. rdiy do her 2d heat within 8 minutes, (8: G, being her best 2d heat la.-t year,) so that she’s of “no use.” If by any mischance Bascombe should break down in training jus t before the match . comes off, we know of nothing that could s start for it with any chance. Juliana - would not be put in nomination, even ifiiere, " probably, and the result would be that the Northern horse would receive forfeit. ‘ j Alost heartily do we hope .such a positive calamity may be averted; though there is a possibility, we are couiiilcnt there arc no more than ordinary grounds for the pre- ,! sumption of such an event. ; A thousand Rumors and conjectures are ■ afloat in relation to Post Boy. Though ■ not in tiptop racing order by any means, : at the first Spring Meeting, another month’s ‘ training must tell. We give no credence ’ to the thousand flying repotts that he is a- miss, though if j;e is, and should be, there are many who think his place could be filled, , without essential detriment to the backers Jof the Northern Champion. Mingo and w hich the latter was to make yesterday at Baltimore, is fraught with a more import ant bearing upon the match on the 31st in stant, than most people are aware of. Mingo was stale—anything but right— when Le ran last here, though he performed like a good one, and did his work hand somely. lie was not up to the mark by *• a long shot,” and as for Post Boy, he was farther off—not comparable with him in condition. Suppose 'ilingo had been in * first rate “ fix,” where would the field have ! been ? Veto certainly ran his three miles in the first heat in slap up style, and yet j Mungo iras held to him throughout, the o j ther running under tiie spur. The friends ! of Juliana were so confident she would win the 2d heat that Veto w as withdrawn, a cir cumstance which was regretted afterwards though tio doubt the result would have been unchanged. Before the 2d heat the orders to Mingo’s rider to let the mare lead at all events, and to make liis run on the streiglit stretch of the last quarter of the fourth mile. Mingo was judged, and rightly 100, to have the foot of her, and it was evident after the 2d mile that be could pass l.er at any tno- ■ meat with ease. Onthetbirdmile asMin go was trailing his jockey found that the clods of dust were not only choking himself but his horse, and accordingly he pulled Cadmus arc yet in reserve, and the race him to the outside of the track. But like Pat’s flea Mingo would’nt “ stay put,” for running up and locking the mare it was as much as bis rider could do to keep him in that position until they ascended the rising ground on the third quarter w hen M ingo . passed and gradually widened the gap, co ming home under a hard pull nearly two lengths ahead. From present appearances it is altogetli . er likely that Bascombe and Post Boy will r come together “ in good order and well conditioned.” We gave the average odds last week as about 3 to 1 on the N> rtliern . horse. They have since declined so much I that we are inclined to think the close of a . nother week will find the betting EVEN, the , odds to day being 100 to 75 only against Bascombe. ■'*"" ■s’, Govcnior’s Proe!asi»•".'ion. HE W) QUARTERS. Montgomery, .'lay £:)tb, 1836. ( The Proclamation (fC'.v.xv.yi' C. Clay, Governor of the Stale of Al Jamd, to tne Chi-' is ami li amors ej the Creclc Tribe of Indians. Information has been received by' me, that outrages of’ the most enormous aggra vation have been committed by members of your tribe, upon the persons and pro perty of the white settlers in the Territory lately ceded by you—that the public mail of the United States has been destroyed, and the passenges in the stages killed—that many citizens have been murdered, and their property plundered—tiiat others have been driven from their possessions, and that general alarm has been created. Under these considerations, 1 have thought it pro | per to address you particularly, as to the ceiisequences that will follow such conduct to those that are guilty. For years ago, the whole Creek tribe was incorporated into the State of Alaba ma. A'our people were declared subject to our laws, your usages and customs, con trrary to ours, werere abglished ; your council, conventions and assemblies were prohibited, and you were required to apply’ forjustice to our courts. The white man and your people became one people, and in becomeing bound by the law s ofthe white man, so you became bound to defend those laws when they were broken. The laws do not permit any part of the people to fight against another part.— Vi hen or.e part makes war against the rest, tne law provides tliat lor doing this they shall stiffer death. ” key are not treated as fair and open enemies but as traitors to he hung, w henever they shall lie ciumht and, found guilty. When you Became subject to the laws of this State, became bound like the rest: —Y ou are not permitted to carry on war against us, nor are you per mitted to aid those who do carry on such war. If you aid anti comfort them, vou are as guilty as it yon had joined them xx ith arms in your hands. You must then stand firmly on the side of our laws, and make the'line Lord be tween you and the hostile party. You must treat them as your enemies and feel towards them as ii they had taken up arms for your own destruction. There must Le no connection ; to intercourse w ith them. It you me I'ouiid v.iih arms in your hands, and they me not employed against the enemy, you will be treated as such. t ou cannot be permitted to appear un der any ctreiinistances, with arms, except for the purpose oi joining the white man a gainst the hostile party. It becomes you then to be prudent ; to preserve the utmost quii t; to obey strictly the commands that will be sent to your Chiefs from the Execu tive of this State mid his officers ; mid when you are called upon to render aid, to do so promptly mid xx ith alacrity. The suspicions of the '.ettffrs are every Wucic aroused, and it is only, by exhiciug tlreut-
