SENATOR KING.
Painful •» it •» "t all times to denounce the
courn* of a political friend, there is a duty which
weowetoihe country nud the L’nion party of
Georgia. to express our most decided disapproba
tion of the conduct of the Hon. John I'. Kiao, in
relation to a National Bank, and the measures
proposed by President Van Buren.
Mr. King was elected by the Uniou party to car
ry out their principles, and he well knew that their
principles were mainly identified with those which
marked the administration of General Jackson,
and especially upon the subject of the U. States
Bank, and knowing all this, he should have ear
ned them out, or resigned.
'lTse Union party has never been so astounded at
the conductor any individual high in its favor, a»
they have been at the course of Mr. King, and
standing upon the ground which he uow occupies,
cannot longer be considered t'leir representative,
ilebas gone over to the Bank party and may be
henceforth held and treated a political enemy.
The right of instructroa, held sacred by allsouud
Democrats, may yet relieve us from the services
of one. who, claiming our tiame, is in fact, giving
his whole strength to our adversaries.
We concur with the following from the Cousti
tutiouakct:
We have a painful duty to perfortn : it is a du
ly we owe as public journalists, as citizens of the
United States, aud as members of the Union l)e
--neciatic party of Georgia. The political stand
recently takeu by Mr. John P. King, in the Senate
of the United States, is io direct opposition to the
sol cm a declarations of the Legislature of Georgia,
and to the great principles which the Union party
p*ofess. Mr. King was tw ice elected to the exal
ted station he now holds by the Union parly. As
he seems to have placed himself in opposition to
that party aud its principles it is with sincere re
-1 gret we have loexpress our opinion, that Mr. King
eaenot. with buuor to himself, retain his seat iti
the Senate of the United States, under the up i
point me nt of the Uiiron party, an integral portion I
•f that Democratic party which Mr- King has ’
thought it bis duty no doubt to charge with tyran- j
>y, and of being actuated by impure motives, in '
support of the late and prevent administrations of
the Federal government.
We do uot question the privilege aud the polit
ical right of .Mr. King to express the sentiments he
now entertains; as we have uo doubt that he is
honest and conscientious in the change of his sen
timents. we are«botind to respect the motives;
which led to such a change, however deeply we I
">*y rogret it; but at the same time, .Mr. King:
owes it to the party which placed him whcic lie j
now h, to give it an opportunity to express a so
lemn opinion, on the stand he has taken. By re
signing he ean accomplish that object. ' If a ma
jority of the Legislature coincide with Mr. King
in sentiment, his re-election by that body will cer I
laiuly follow as a matter of course.
, ‘ba'l P u **lish in our next paper, the substance
of .Mr. King's speech, as reported for the Wash
ington papers.

Border Difficulties tn Maine.— For somo
time past, dissensions have existed between the
«;:horiiics of Maine and th? British Colonial!
government: A gentleman by the name of
Grecly, was a short time since arrested by the !
Colonial authorities, under ciretirtislrttKr*, that'
seem to have given rise to much ill-feeling on
tlie part of the citizens of Maine; and by the
following, which we extract from the last Ban
gor Whig.it seems that serious difficulties arc
apprehended:
Wc learn by a gentleman direct from the !
seat of difficulty, and who bore a letter for \
Major Gen. llodsdun, that the Lieut. Gover
hoi of the Provinces had, after reaching home
with Greely, ordered a force of three hundred
troops on the line, for its defence, and that an
r troops had been despatched to
•H’lifax. We learn further, that when news of
the arrest of Greely (cached Houlton, a num
ber of A rterican troops worn despatched for bi*
protection, but arrived too late. Orders hav
ing naw bean issued for the arrest of the Com
missioner* who are to lay out I lie road from the
Aroostic to the Midawasks, the Govorner of
the Province anticipates a brush with the citi
zen soldiery of Maine, dtpl i* preparing for it.
AVell, one thing is r.itaiti—it will not do for
<he authorities of tlrits Slate to quietly permit
Jjer citizens to be. taken and imprisoned by •»
foreign power, without cause. The British au
thorities have laid out a toad over the disputed
territory without molestation. Shall not Ame
ricans, who own the soil, have the same privi
lege I *
Che above rumors are given on what may
be considered good authority, and although we
might wish them unfounded, wc cannot permi l
(tvryclvcj to doubt their accuracy.

Indian Talk.— On Thursday our neighbor:?
rtf Washington were presented with An Oppor
tunity ol t'tijdyirijf jltc novel spectacle of an In
dian Council or Talk; Held by tlie Hon. Mr. ■
Poinsett, Secretary of War, with the delega
tion of Sioux Indians, recently arrived there
I from the West. A correspondent of the Alex-
I andria Gazette furnishes the fulioU iCig notice of
i the proceeding: •
■ Dr. Lauries’ Church, in which tnc talk took .
j place, was crowded with the beauty and sash
: ion of our city, and amongst the distinguished
personages present were the Hon. the Secreta
' rics of State and War, Maj. General M’Comb,
j and the principal officers of the Govcrmnetr
residing in the District. The talk was opened
j by passing round, agreeably to Indian usage,:
I th ' long pipe or Calumet of peace, of whir!
' each, commencing with the Hon. Secretary <
• War, took three whiffs. After tue ccrer.my
. Mr Poimmttarwm,anddolivoredahandsomnan
i appropriate speech, of which the following i
t the substance;
I “Mv Red Brethren:—Yoiir great father ha
■I sent for von from your wil l chasing grounds, t-
I bid you welcome, and to give you assurance
. his friendly feelings towards you and your p»"
J pit . He desires inn to inform yon that in or
( frr to protect you rn >st eHectually against th'
1 encroachments ofyqtjr while brethren, who l>
j 'ate treaties, h ive Qeconie your rieighbots, i
will be ntlcossary for yrtu to cross die “bi
iver,” and to settle in the lands which you
Great Father lias designated for yom W.
hive met you here to-day for the purpose ••
receiving any proposition which your people
n iv have empowered von to make for the sale
of the binds which you are about to lea ve, and
to arrange other matters for your comfort and
happiness in ymir new country. You have
nassed thro igli a great many of our towns and
had many opportunities of seeing the power and
strength of this great nation. This power,
vour Great Father wishes to assure you, will
always be ready to protect, aid and assist you,
vonrselves know how strong and efficient it
would be if called into action.”
“This is the substance of what the Honora
ble Secretary said—except however that he
informed them tn conclusion, that they might,
on to-morrow, or some future day make their
proposition to their Great Father, who would be
readv to receive it. After Mr. P. sat down, c.ne
of the delegation arose, and in a rapid and very
abrupt speech, delivered with much energy and
gesture, replied ‘that they had not come here
to-day to learn the power of their Great Fa
ther’s people, they have long known that——
I'heir people too wete numerous but not so
strong as their Great father’s. Mhey wished
to put themselves under the protection of their
Great Father, and observe all the treaties he
might make with them.” Immediately after
this the Council broke up, and the Indians left
the church in high spirits, and seeming highly
oleasrd. The spectators no less admired the
xingidariiy of their appearance, and the awk
ard display of trinkets and feathers, which
were tinkling and pluming upon their persons,
than the regularity and order which they ob
served in entering and leaving the church.
The citizens were very much pleased, and no
doubt wished for many such spectacles of the
real “Native American.”

John McKenley, to be one of the Associate
Justices of the Supreme Court of the United

The Kentucky Giant is thus described by the
Akron (Oiiio) Ballance ofthe 9th, on his tran
sit through that town to the north:
“Our citizens were a few davs since greeted
by a view of a Sprig from Kentucky; a mere
child,of 21 years, and only seven feet and seven
inches tall, when divested of hat, shots and
stockings, and weighs 240 pounds. We un
derstand he is on his Way to England. Ilis
health is poor, hut is now improving. He for
merly worked at the Cooper’s bu-iness, and
continued to do so, as the story is told, so long
as he could get his hand into the top of a flour
barrel. We have heard of men who were so
tall that it took them an hour to get asleep, ‘all
over,’ and could never tell when their ‘feet
were cold,’ but never saw a specimen before.
He must have vegetated upon some of the
s rong soils on the Cumbetland, where it was
currently reported a few years since that a man
stuck his iron bar into the ground in the eve
ning and it was < overcd with ten penny nails,
which had sprouted out during the night.”
Wonderful discovery.— The excavations
for theGenessee Canal in this city have un
veiled some interesting; animal rem tins, res
pectin'? which a friend has handed us the
followin'? memorandum :
Remains of the Mastodon have been dis
covered in digging the Rochester and
Olean Canal, in this city, at the intersec
tion of Canal and Caledonia streets, about
4 feet below the surface of the ground—
imbedded in a well defined deposit of di
luvion, impregnated with iron. The only
remains preserved are two of the short r'.bs,
about 4 feet long ; a bone supposed to be
one of the lower bones of a fore-leg ; and
fragments of an immense trunk. The
workmen describe the tusk to have hce» as
large as a man’s body, and some 10 or 12
feet long—it was mistaken by them for a
log, and broken to pieces—only 12 or 14
inches of the point escaped fracture—the
rest was broken into pieces, and most of it,
together with other parts of the skeleton;
were thrown out and buried in the earth ex
cavated from the Canal. The pieces of the
trunk preserved, exhibit the texture of ivo
ry as distinctly as an ivory comb, and re
tain their original whiteness.—The ribs are
in a state of perfect preservation.
Probably the entire skeleton was deposi
ted in or near the place where the remains
were founds—and more ntay be discovered.
Geologists assign a remote origin to these
nnd similar remains—supposing them to
have been buried in their present situations
by the universal deluge, at which time the
animals themselves are supposed to have
become extinct.— Rochester Republican.
Interesting Phenomenon.— A scientific
friend gives tts the following statement :
“ An excavation recently made for a well,
at the corner of our city square, has disclo
sed an interesting phenomenon in the dis
charge of an Unusual quantity o's cArbonic
acid gas, which is still exhibiting itself by a
violent ebtililioh through the water, collec
ted at the bottom-. After penetrating thro’
the various strata of sand, clAy and loam
to the depth of sixteen or teighteeh feet,
there was found a deposite of vegetable
•lebris in clay, rendered dark by the vege
•able matter ; and beneath this, a stratum
,->f bluish, adhesive and impervious clay.
■Jn penetrating the latter deposit, the g:t>
lischarged itself with such force and abun
dance as instantly to preclude the possi
■ility ol any further operations. The ga-
v- ry pure anti concentrated ns evinced
<y usual tests, causing an immediate anti

NT? N IIA Illi OF UNION
Spain.— The civil war raging in »hi
lountry with alternate triumph and defeat,
in wasting the strength, without advancing
the real power of either party. In a late
number of the London Times we find a let
ter purporting to be written by a merchant
in the south of Spain, which thus sums up
the whole matter;
“Tut' real state of Spain is this:—The
■great bulk of the people of all classes nei
ther understand nor care a fig for ary mat
ters relating to politics, government, or
public affairs. They are as indifferent
about the Queen nnd her party ns about
Doo Carlos and his. All they want is to
be kfi quiet, to mind their own concerns,
and to go on their old jog-trod way. The
only exceptions to this general rule are the
Republican theorists, and the political
priests and their dupes, whom I have alrea
dy described, and the inhabitants of the
Basque provinces, w ho support Don Carlos
merely because he promised to respect and
confirm their/twro*. There is no energy,
no enterprise, and neither public spirit not
public honesty, to be found in this country.
Every man is either totally apathetic, or
lie only seeks to profit by the scramble and
to take care of himself. This feeling also
generally pervades the soldiers on both
sides ; they care not a jot for their country
men, or their party ; plunder and revenge
seem tube their only motives of action;
and their presence is as much dreaded, or
perhaps more, by those whom they call
their friends, as by their avowed enemies.
Neither party has sufficient energy or
strength to overcome the other, and 1 fear
that matters have come to that pass, that
the present system of skirmishing and guer
illa warfare may go on for a century, or
until the whole country is devastated, and
the people exterminated by fire, sword, fam
ine, and other sufferings, unless the media
tion or forcible interference (hut in an ef
fectual manner) or other nations puts an
end to the contest.
Emigration lo Texas.— According to a
paragraph in tlie Memphis (Tenn.) Enquir
er, emigration to Texas is going forward
on a large scale. The editor says: There
is scarcely elbow-room left in our streets
and highways leading into town, on ac
count of the constant pouring in of horses
and wagons, and the helter-skelter melee
of emigrating parapha *alia. Several hun
dred families must have crossed the Mis
sissippi at this point, on their way to the
promised land, within the last six weeks;
and the rush is still onward. We almost
fear for the population of Tennessee; for
not a wagon passes but some dozen chiels
belonging to it, poke their flaxen heads
through the holes of the canvass.”
Female Duel in Paris.—A late French pa
per gives an account of a duel which wasfought
in that city by two Indies. The following iii a
few words, are the particulars: On Monday,the
24th Jul v, four young ladies entered a fiacre at
the rue Royale, St. Honorc, Paris, and ordered
the coachman to drive to the Bui.de Vincennes.
In addition to the fare agreed upon, the coach
man received a handsome gratuity, which seems
to have led him to believe that there must be
some mystery in the proceedings of the femi
nine conclave. His suspicions were not un
founded. Madame L , furious against her
ex-intimate friend, Madame Aedle M .who
bad abstracted her lover, had challenged her
fortunate rival to mortal combat. The invita
tion had been accepted, and it was to settle this
affair of honor that the two ladies, eacliarcom
panied by two seconds of their own set, had re
paired to the above place, the two rivals fired in
turn. The murderous engines, however, had
been loaded by inexperienced hands, and wore
discharged by hands equally unaccustomed to
the arena of duelling. Neither of the fair com
batants, accordingly, were hurt, and though they
were themselves by no means desirous to retire
from the affray, the seconds severally declared
that their principals had done all that honor rail
ed for, and insisted Upon withdrawing their wo
men from the field.
This is decidedly a remarkable chapter in the
news of the dav.
How to quiet a Dog.— The National Intel
igencer contains a long and full report of a tri
al in Washingto, tho result of which is some
what interesting. The defendant was in lifted
for harboring a nuisance—to wit, a dog that
balked furiously all night long, to the sore dis
turbance ofthe neighbors, from whose eye-lids
sleep was thereby driven. The jury returned
a verdict of guilty, and the court imposed a
fine of S2O. It was proved on behalf of the de
fendant, that since the finding of the indictment
the dog had materially mended his’manners,
barking much less than had been his wont be
fore; and the fact Was explained bv one of the
witnesses for the defendant, who testified that she
had given a dose of p tragoric every night, hav
ing found the benfit of that process, bv experi
menting upon the children ofthe defendant, tn
whose family she was employed as nurse.
4 Jewish method of bringing boys up Profession
ally—When the breakfast was dlvared away, the
merry old gentleman and the two boys played at
a very curious and uncommon game, which was
performed in this way,'—The merry old genl e
man, placing a sttuT-box iu one pocket of his
trousers, aote-casa in the other, and a watch in
hi, waistroat pocket with a guard chain round
his neck, and sticking a mock diamond pin in his
shirt buttoned his C >at tight rouml him. and put
ting his spectacle case and handke chief in the
f o'kets,. trotted up and down the room with a
stick, in imitation of the manner in which old
gentlemen walk ale t the strcetseVcry horn in
the day. Sometimes he stopped at the fi- • 1 tee
aud sometimes at tho door, making believe t in
he was staring all his might into shop-windows.
At such times he Would look c- nsti ntly round him
for feat of thieves, slid keep slapping all his pock
ets in turn, to st® that lie ha.hi't lost anything, in
such a very funny and natural manner, that Oli
ver lattghed till the tears ran down his face. All
this tin e the two boys followed him closely about,
getting out of his sight so nimbly every time he
turned round, that it was impossible to follow their
motions. At last the Dodger tio?, upon his toes,
or ran upon his boot accidentally, while Charley
Bates stumbled up against him behind; and in
that one moment tjici took from him with the most
extraerdinary rapidity, snuffbox, time ease, watch
guard, chain, shirt pin, pocket handkerchief, even
tho spectacle <asc. if the old gcntlemvli felt a
hand in tiny of the pockets, hec iod out where it
was, and then the game began all over again.
A Female Fandif.—-According to an ac
count in the Augsburg Gazette, a noble lady
near Home, has just been discovered to have been
engaged for seine time past as chief of a gang
of banditti. She was in the habit of receiving
and entertaining her men at her mansion tn the
country, and ths property tal en bv them on
tlic road was regularly exported to London and
France. This woman is supposed to have had
agencies at Florence, Leghorn, and Genova,
whither the property was forwarded, and tin
investigations of the police thus evaded. Sev
eral persons in respectable society have beet
arrested on suspicion of having been concerned
with this llinaldini in petticoats.
77/e Queen's marriage.— The English papers
l are indulging in speculations on this matter.
<: give the following from the Dover Tele
graph:
“IV c have heard from a quarter on'which w<,
place the most implicit reliance, that tho mar
riage of our gracious Queen will take 1 place as
s®on as etiquette will permit, probably early in
the ensuing spring. VVc aic assured that the
( happy object of her Majeety’s choice is not, as
has been represented, a foreign prince, bur the
scion of an illustrious British house. The
Dutches of Kent will remain with her royal
daughter until her marraige, when she will re
tire, with a suitable provision, to Clermont.”
