TIIH IXDI \X Ql’l'.STlON.
We refer our readers to th- debate in Con.peas, published in t» day’s
paper, upon the bill making a pa' tial appropriation to suppress Indian ,
hostilities.
In this debate, Mr. Wise and s'veral of his roadjtitors, rendered them
selvis still more conspicuous ns <hampions of the Indian curse. He;
openlv avoxved, that he w..u!d sooner appropriate money to protect the i
Semiuoles in their Hammocks, than to drive them out, and denounced I
the war as most outrageous on the p irt of tho (Government. He asserts
that the Indians have violated no treaty, ami given no cause for hostili
ties on our part.
\\ ho can contemplate the cold bloo led murder of General Thomp
son, the massacre of Dade and the slaughtered victims who fell by his
side, without emotions of the deepest indignation at the course of Mr.
Wise and his heartless co-xxorkers?
But xvhxle we reprobate their conduct, and condoms the spirit which
has instigated them in their course, it is a source of pride and consola
tion to know,’hat their efforts have proved unavailing. The Bill has
passed the Home, and strange to tell, with only two dissenting voices. :
Mr. Wise “dodged the question,” and when t l ',' final vote came, he was
not there v and stranger still, Mr. Biddle, who spoke vehemently against
it. and boasted how h« would vote against it, and bow boldly he would
justify’himself before his constituents, “caved in” just as the question'
was t xken, and recorded his vote in favor of the Bill. It was immedi
ately sent to tho Semite, coiiiidered and passed—is now a law , and our
gallant countrymen in Florida, will have the means of prosecuting the
war, with a vigor commensurate to their courage and patriotism.

Abolition— Primary Assemblies.
Everyone must perceive that the question of Abolition is ap
pronching a crisis.
It had been supposed that the abolition excitement would subside
aficr the Presidential election. This expectation has been disap
pointed, and die matter is assuming a form xvhich may require all the
lirmm ~s, and all the prudence of the country.
Ardently attached to the rights of the States, ami the rights of the ;
L’nion, I have supposed, I might say, something that might be ser
viceable.
The recent action of Georgia is firm, and it ought to be firm. It
w ill I <■ found that no parly in Georgia, iinr any considerable number
o in li-In sis, v. ill tolerate interference with her domestic interests:
■• 7/ be rtyelled at all hazards.
t his will probably bn the case in all the Southern country.
1 wish not to foment discord. 1 would gl.xdly restore harmony:
but meddlers may di.stinctlv understand that they have to choose be
tween respect for our constitutional rights, and determined resistance.
But the South should act prudently, as well as firmly.
ft may well be questioned whether the general discussion of to
pics connected with s avery would be prudent: it would effect the
first purpose of the Abolitionists: discussion is their first purpose.
As long as we decliiu'd such discussions, we enjoyed comparative ;
repose: when xve abandoned our position, agitation followed. Dis
cussions, in primary assemblies, would increase agitation. If this
agitation could be known only to ourselves and our adversaries, I
should not be so much concerned. But this agitation would be known
to our domestics. It is not the people lam guarding against : it is
our slaves. If discussion must be had, (and perhaps xve cannot now
avoid some discussion,) it ought to be confined, in a great degree, to
representative bodies entertaining the opinions and possessing the
powers of the people. This would, in some degree, prevent ex
citement without preventing action. The firm, pindent action of
our constituted authorities appear to me all that is necessary for the
present.
I trust, therefore, that primary assemblies will not be got up for the
discussion of this exciting topic, unless it becomes absolutely neces
sary. in that case I too would go into the work.

made in those States in the transportation of the mails, either as to
the roads on which it should be carried, tho frequency of trips, the
mode of conveyance, the manner of com ection between different

“THE WAR PARTY LN PEAt’E. THE PEACE PARTY
LN WAR.”
Tlu l public will have perused, with not a little surprise, the
debate on the indispensable appropriation proposed to support
our brave citizen soldiers, xvho are pouring out their blood in
the swamps of Florida. It was vehemently opposed for two
daqs by the Opposition leaders, and in the end had two rotes
recorded against it! ! Nothing shows more distinctly the char
acter of (he xvarfare waged against the Administration than
the noise and fury w ith xvhich it is assailed, and “ the impotent
conch'sion” in which the attacks of assailants result. Mr.
Wist:, Mr. IJt.i.i., Mr. 11. Everett, Mr. Biddle, xvere all
velienient in their attempts to turn the hearts of (heir adherents
against giving support to the Administration in its efforts to
bring the Indians to submission. The reports given in the In
telligencer and Globe are but meagre sketches of the Fede.nl
sympathy exhibited to encourage the Seminoles, and to pre
pare the public mind to turn its indignation from th.it ferocious
banditti of savages, which, not content xvith violating a treaty of
xx hich tluiy had enjoyc d the advantage in advance, had in return
butchered (lie representative ol Government among them, and
slaughtered the whole command of Major Dade, as the first
step in their unprovoked hostilities. Tlieir atrocities have con
verted the perfidious perpetrators of these murders, committed
notoriously against the w ill of the Chief of the tribe, into he
roes in the eyes of Federalism. They are extolled in the pres
ence of Hoss and the Cherokees —the treacherous spies, xvho,
it appears, in the disguise of mediators, have carried into the
lurking places of the Seminoles, the intelligence that, if they
would hold out for another campaign, their friends in Congress
xvotild be in the majority, and xvithhold the supplies necessary
to bring llit'in to submission; and that they might thus re-con
quer the country for which they had received the equivalent.
That their Cherokee friends bad warrant for al! they slid, in
the way of encouraging the Seminoles to stand out in their
bloody revolt, is manifest from the disposition avowed by the
Federal leaders, north and south. That our readers may see
that the remarks of these men were rather extenuated than ex
aggerated, as set down by the reporters for the Globe, we quote
some scraps from the debateas given in the Intelligencer:
“?.Ir. Wist: said tha! the Florida war was iniriuitous in its
inception, dirgroceftd in its progress, and disastrous in its ter
mination ; and ij those echo hold the power in this House will
girr me the opportunity of testing the truth of that position, I
am ready to meet them on every ground, and to demonstrate
such to be the fact." # » *
“ In this irr/y there have been dragged from us the nine or
ten millions of dollars which have already been lavished on this
di graceful, wich.nl, fatal contest.'" * * *
“At 'his moment, there is no war in Florida, but that which
it; hept up by the (lorernment officers, and by the people who are
battening and. fattening on the money of the nation voted by
this House to prosecute the war." * « *
“ Will they let us know how’ how many barpies are now’ feast
ing on the spoilsof Government in that Territory r”
In reply to the able and eloquent reply of Mr. Downing of
Florida, showing (hat the treaty with ihe Seminoles had been
fairly made by James Gadsden, (as honorable a man as ever
lived,) that they had visited the lands ceded to them in return,
and confirmed all its stipulations, aftet months of deliberation,
and approving the exchange, ami receiving the additional con
sideration in money, Dlr. WISE repeated, in defiance of noto
rious facts, that
“The United States commissioners, when they bad once got
their Indian colleagues across the river ?xlississippi, persuaded
and bribed them to make a treaty there, which they according
ly did. But the treaty was never confirmed by the Seminole
nation. I say, thircfbiT-, that the Seminole tribe xvith whom
you are at war for a breach cf treaty, never bid make the
treaty; they took the initiatory Steps to a treaty, which
the United States authorities chose to regard as making
thi’ treaty, but no such treaty was ever consummated ; and I
affirm again that this xvas iniquitous in its inception, and if op
portunity shall be afforded me, the fact can be as fully demon
strated as that other similar and undeniable fact, that you never
made a valid treaty with the Cherokees.'"
In this passage will be seen the motive of the Cherokee medi
ators for making their mission of persuasion to induce the Sem
ittoles to emigrate, an opportunity of conveying the informa
tion that they had a party in Congress, which would notonly
(if they succeeded in obtaining a control over the Government)
withhold the means of enforcing the execution of their treaty,
but would undertake to set aside that of the Cherokees, as well
as that of the Seminoles, notwithstanding these tribes had re
ceived immense sums of the consideration money. This ac
counts, too, for the zeal manifested by Mr. Everett of Ver
mont, but the other day, in pressing the Cherokee memorial to
this efltct upon the House, and Mr. Bell’s support on that
occasion. It is evident that the energies of the Opposition are
to be directed against the Government, audio aid of the Indi
ans.
But to proceed with the testimony of Mr. Wise.
“ 7 he appropriatum now asked for, t bidicre, instead of arresting
the hostilities in Florida, its only effect will be to render that un
happy Territory still more desolate."
Ho had in his first speech, on the same day, declared that the
people in Florida were “battening and fattening” da the spoils of
those very appropriations I
He goes on to give his reasons xvb.y he would not now appropriate,
by recurrence to the past.
“I voic'd the money asked for. I voted more and more year after
year. I helped to pour out the public money in floods for the same
object, till the reports of the national degradation and disgrace
HAVE COME UP TO -XIE WITH A TONGUE TO WHICH 1 MUST LISTEN. I
cannot refuse. It is a public duty to inquiie. What has been t’e
course of the war? Have not corps after corps been massa
cred, from Dade’s bloody field to the last disastrous bat
tle? You have capt: red Micanopy and Oceola, and does not Oce
ola boast in his prison to this day, not forty braves h ive been taken?
And this by the utmost force of a nation which, a little while ago,
was bearding France, and now talks of calling England to explana
tion about the capture of the steamboat Caroline. You have been
PUTTING OUT YOUR STRENGTH FOR YEARS, AND YOU HAVE KILLED
ABOUT FORTY BRAVES.”
It is Oceola’s language to which Mr. Wi.,c “mnsZ listen." He
takes it for granted that our brave and sell-devoted volunteers and
soldiers are altogether unequal to Alligator and his brood, who dive
into the sxvamps, and fire from their concealments in the hammocks.
Oceola and tho rest of the Alligators, who murder in time of peace,
by stealing upon their unsuspecting victims, and shooting them doxvn
on tlieir hearths, and in time of war from ambuscades in morasses,
are the flower of chivalry in the eyes of Mr. Wise. He says of the
assassin of General Thompson :
‘‘lndian or xx hite man, 1 cannot but say that he excites mv wonder
and admiration. 'I his nation and its army arc bound to accord
him praise for his great qualities and achievements, and if he is not
to be. be lieved because he is an Indian, 1 can point to white witnesses
who will confirm his testimony."
And what does he think ol the brave men who have confronted
jirivation of every sort, death in every shape; who have been preyed
upon by the diseases of the climate, and exposed themselves naked
to the deadly Indian rifle, while wading through swamps to drive
them from the tangled covert it surrounded? Mr. Wise pronounces
his opinion very summarily:
“/ say further, that this war has been conducted in a manner mo
rally wrong, ft has been marked on our part by perfidy after perfi
dy, and treachery upon treachery."
And wha[ does Air. Wise propose under the state of things thus
portrayed? He asks:
“ H hy may they not be suffered to remain on the soil as their breth
ren have remained in I irginial The rimnant of the Pamunkics arc.
now in that (d ommon wea It h, and to this day they continue regularly
to bring in their pairs of wild ducks as tributes io secure the tenure
of their land. Let. these Indians alone, and they will gradually
melt away and disappear before the. white population. But if you
insist on driving them away, what is to become of them!"
In this idea, Mr. Everett of Vermont, (Mr. Bell’s abolition friend,)
cordially concurred. Air. Everett (says the Intelligencer’s report:)
“Avowed himself unwilling to carry on this warany longer, though
he was not for yielding, lie wished a pacificatory course, to be
tried. He would arm the Ercritlive with authority and appropria
tions to enable him to adopt a course which should terminate it paci
fically."
It appears that the only difference between Alessrs. Wiscand Eve
rett is, that one is opposed to any appropriation to compel the Indi
ans to comply with their treaty —that is, to emigrate—whik. the oth
er is willing to appropriate to induce them to stay “pacifically 1!’
Mr. Hill, for his part, was so delighted with' the spirit with
which the war for the Seminoles was carried on by his troops
in the House, that he told the delegate from Florida:
“ lie Hiough! Ih'.tl the burden of dtfentliug this Administra
tion, in its policy towards the Seminoles, would tw. found to bo
rather more than the gentleman from Florida, acute anti able
as he was, could sustain."
Mr. Hobert.ton of Virginia, was equally gratified at “the
■moral courage," exhibited by Mr. H'ise ; but he said “ heshotdd
Vide for Ihe supplies,” hut not to kill the Indians : “ he was un
wiHing to ride to carry on this tear of extermination.”
Mr. Biddle boldly took the side of the Seminoles. He would
not Vote a cent Io redeem the Government drafts given for
supplies. He said :
/; ■, jor on ■, trout! prolesfagainsf riding any more m:>n //
tinder such pretexts. He, for one, was willing to assume the
responsibility, and to go home to his constituents, and tell them
that he had refused to vote for an appropriation of another
million, without knowing to what use it was to be applied. The
treasures of the country had been squandered long enough.
'The main artery of the 'Treasury hail been bleeding for a long
time, and il only required, a few gallons more to complete its ex
haustion.”
How like his brother Nicholas docs he appear in this figure !
He cares nothing for the blood of the brave men whom he
would leave without support, by withholding the appropriation;
hut the thought that “ the main artery of the Treasury had
been bleeding for a long time,” and that this precious blood
had not fallen into his brother’s bank, to enrich the family, was
a national calamity. “ There were only a few gallons more,”
and they must have it in the way of deposites!
These Opposition orators were triumphantly answered, as
the vote shows. Mr. Downing, of Florida, in a powerful and
eloquent speech, enchained the attention of the House in his
reply to Mr. Wise, and branded his misrepresentations at every
step.
Air. Cdley of Maine, in a brief and spirited impromptu, put
to shame the savage sympathy of Mr. Everett ami other north
ern philanthropists, xvho seemed to feel great pain at the little
loss of’ the Indians, but forgot that hecatombs of valiant Amer
ican citizens had been slain. He reminded those gentlemen of
the fate the Indians had found from the hands of the pilgrims
of the north.
General Glascock, in a strong strain of eloquence, reviexved
the whole subject, and marked the course of the Opposition in
the House as in character with that reported to have been given
by tlieCherokee mediators. He said:
“In regard to the statements represented to’haveliccn made
by the Cherokees to the Seminoles, that if they would only
hold out this winter, Congress would refuse to make further ap
propriations, and the xvar would cease, he had only to say that
there was a remarkable coincidence between tlie statement of the
Cherokees and the course of certain gentlemen on this floor.”
Air. Bynum lashed the pseudo patriotism of the Opposition
xvithout mercy. He told them that they xvere Jor the English,
when at war with its —for the French when they violated their
treaty—f >r the Mexicans when commiHing robberies on our cit
izens, and insults on the national flag—for the negroes—the
Indians —-Jor every thing that threatened to shake the peaceful
administration of our laws under Democratic auspices.

At a meeting of the citizens of the Town of Pontotoc and its vicinity, at the Bank
ing House in said town, on Saturday the Gth of January 1838, convened on the occu
sioofn the death of Dr. ALEX ANfJER ST. CLAIR TENMLLE.
Walter Goodman was called to the Chair, and Jacob Thompson, appointed Sec
retary.
Whereupon, Maj. Thomas P. Moore, offered the following preamble and resolutions
which were then considered and unanimously adopted.
When in the dispensations of Providence, thehaiul of death is suddenly laid, upon
one in the midst oi health, and in the prime of manhood, occupying a conspicuous
position in society, whose talents, high character, and many virtues, greatly endeared
liini to the community in which he lived, we may deplore a visitation so sudden and
unexpected though we cannot question die wisdom of him who causes the inllic
tion, because in his hand are the lives and destinies of us all.
Assembled for die purpose of otfering some more substantial tribute than verbal
commendation to the memory of our deceased friend and neighbor, the citizens of
Pontotoc and its vicinity embrace this occasion to testify lheir respect for his memory
and admiration of his character. He was no ordinary man. Possessed of line talents
and a finished general as well as n.eJical education, he commanded the respect and
confidence of ail. To a bi ih sense of honor with great dignity of manners and chiv
alrous ! cariiu r , he added the amenity and politeness of a gent -man. Hi 3 moral char
acter was without spot, and his honor without blenii h. These traits of character
added to good health and areut jihysieal energy gave promise of a long life of distinc
tion and usefulness to his fellow inen. JSuch* was Alexander St Clair Tennille but
a short week ago—lie is now numbered with the dead, and lies among the clods of the
valley.
It is therefore, TZr.Wrz’/Z, That tlie citizens of Pontotoc and its vicinity, sincerely
deplore this sudd'ii visitation of Divine Providence by which we have been deprived
of one ot the most useful member' and conspicuous ornaments of our society.
sulced, That a committee of five persons be appointed by the Chair to communi
cate the sense of this meeting, to the bereaved mother and other relations of the de
ceased in the State of Gcortria.
Reno!red, Thatacopy of th ? procesdin <s of this meeting,be furnished by the com
mitt'e for publication in the phickasaw L’uion, and that the Editors of the newspa
pers in Milledgeville, (Jojrria, be requested to rc-pubiish th ' same.
In pursuance of the second resolution, the Chair appointed Col. F i x Lewis,
Erasmus P. McDowell, Esq. Col. Robert fi.min, Air. Simon Jeffreys, and 31 r. Rich
