Tint men who c'amor a great ,*leal about equality aud about the govern luiiit of the people should linn attempt to trample under loot every principle ut the government, is a matter well deserving the attention of the people. We have not at present time or terms in which to express our contempt for sueh a course, } jU t wo hope to have some leisure to th-vcti to this subject shortly. The .State-Rights party might have done the same thing if they had possc-scd the power, hut if they had vve should have censured them as unsparingly as wc have and shall the others. We do not believe that the Union party will sustain their leaders in thUuttempt todestrov every thing like equality iu representation. It is true we are opposed to any reduc tion at a!l f„r reasons that we have here tofore given, hut we like to see something like fairness and honesty in those who profess to think that the good of the county requires it. The truth is that there is to "be found iu the course of political leaders genet ally very little hut a constant effort to aggrandise themselves, and it is hi»h time that this spirit should be rebu ked by the people.

It will he seen by the “General Orders” of General Macomb, issued from Head Quar tet's. tin! the war is en led, the Indians vir. tu.d!y acknowledged masters of the soil, ant! we. ns a people and a nation disgraced, Wlint man, who lias the honor of his country at heart, whose spirit does not burn with just indignation at this dastardly con duit on the part of those in authority? A nation that has twice made old England's Lion tremble in his lair >r.d crouch beneath the fangs of Liberty's Eagle, has, by the conduct of those who have charge of her destiny, been acknowledged conquered by a bund of Seminole Indians! and her pride completely laid ill the dust. Gen. Maeontb, wc perceive, is ou his re turn home, after completing the object ofhis mission. IIo» will he be met by the citi zens of the United States? Will it be with loud hosannahs to his name ; or will not the indignation rftiie people be aroused tosucli a pitch as to heap upon his head wherever he may place his foot, the execrations of an indignant and insulted nation? We hope the latter course will be pursu ed, that he may be made an example by which, in all after timc.no one who may recollect his fate will darff again adopt a mea sure so humiliating and disgraceful. Wc would hope that he, rs well as those con cerned vvitb him in tans coding the Florida war, coni I be driven from Ihe high offices they hold, and banished from the land they have thus consigned to infamy aud wretch edness. Will the inhabitants of Florida accept a peace thus bought and thus dearly paid foi ? After their wives, their children, the : r mo thers and fathers have fallen victims to the relentless hand of tile merciless savage, will they suffer them to remain upon their soil, to share it, benefits aud tlie protection ol their Government ? Or, will not the blood of their relatives call with a voice that cannot ho resisted, for that vengeance which should never sleep until every red man had been sent to the land of spirits or driven from the soil they have drenched with the blood of the helpless and innocent l NOT ENDED YET! Since the above was written, we perceive Miat our anticipations in relation to the man ner in which this unjust and cowardly treaty would be received by the indignant inhabi tants of the Territory, have been realized ; and that an extraordinary stare of excite ment pervades the whole country. Tbe war is just commenced in earnest. Gov. Call was expected to take the field last Mon day, at the head of an army of volunteers, who were flecking to his standard from eve ry section of the country. The Territorial Government has offered a reward of .00 dol lars for every Indian kill'd or taken, and 3 war of extermination we doubt not, will now be waged against the miserable savages, who* after desolating the country and murdering its inhabitants, have been kindly taken into the protection of the General Government. Are the people ol the United States, so dead to every sense of humanity and justice, as to stand tamely by and witness this unparallel ed outrage upon the rights and feelings of the citizens of Florida. We hope not.— We hope that the chivalry of the land, if there is any left, will take part with the ag grieved and insulted Floridians ; and, not withstanding the protective presence of the United States troops, expel the remorseless murderers from the land their treachery and Cruelty !qv/c deflated and (aid waste. We learn from the Columbus papers that Thurston, the Bauk robber and counterfeit er, has been again apprehended, and safely lodged within the walls ot the peuetentiary. An attempt was made by a few of the citi zens of Columbus to rescue iriin, on the ground that Air. Croley, the gentleman by whom he was captured, had not sufficient a ithority fur detaining hint, but owing to the energy of Mr. Corley and the timely in terference of the Sheriff and Dep. Sheriff, the attempt failed. The Augusta Constitutionalist asks with great apparent gravity, what assurance have we, that Mr. Clay if elected would follow in the footsteps of Martin Van Bureo? The t dea is truly diverting. Only imagine the re nowned statesman aud orator of the west, pursumg the winding sinuosities aftl.eKin derhook toad-catcher, and ttulevcuiing to trace his bespattered tracks amongst the mil 1 and siiuic through which lie has rrawl de iu his restless search after the objects ol his ambition. Imagine the Eagle stooping from his lofty flight amongst the clouds to paddle aud splutter, in imitation of the dap per duck, in the scutn of stagnant ponds and marshes. Only think of the lordly Lion de scending to the ignoble vocation of amous iug grimalkin. It is truly diverting. Seri ously, what could the Constitutionalist have meant? That if Mr. Clay would „landoii his National Bank scheme, and give in to the measures of Mr. Van Buren's adminis tration, that there might then dc a reason able excuse for the Southern people to give him their suffrage for the highest office in their gift ? The editor sarcly must be jest ing with his readers. As exceptionable and obnoxious as both those personages are to every Southern patriot, we cannot con ceive how either conld be rendered less so, by a union in principle and sentiment with the other. Would it enable Mr. Ciav to take hoi! upon the affections of the people ofGcoigia, or rather, would the people lie more likely to yield him their support, wore to declare himself an advocate for free negro suffiage, a Missouri restrlctionist, and a Loco Foco leveller? Would it elevate him in the estimation of Southern men, were he to proclaim his devotion to the cause of intern tl improvements, in direct violation of the doctrine of State Rights? Would he be more acceptable to the South, as President of the United States, by openly approving the extravigant and profligate expenditures of the present ad ministration; b_v promising lo continue known ptihiic defaulters in office for years after their frauds a>e detected, by declar ing his intention to divide the spoils among the victors, and in short, by proclaiming to the nation at large, his determination if e- Icctcd, to carry out the foul, profligate and corrupt measures of a predecessor, whose political sins are heaped like a mountain upon his head. No! no; odious as we con ceive his present principles to he, he. would be doubly obnoxious, were he to add to them the nefarious and detestable doctrines that have marked the political career of Martin Van Buren. M tjor G;n'‘r;«l M.YCO.VIB has gotten back once mare to Wi-hington City, after the performance of his wondrous mission to the court of the Seminoles. Wonder when the general will bring out his “Trag edy of the Indian maid»n ?” Now that the vexatious Florida War ceases to burden his mind, and these “weak, piping times of peace,” a fiord him no delight, except, “to view ius shadow iu the sun,” we presume he will build a private theatre, in which to enact the pro l ictiom of his matchless dra matic genius. RETAILING. As every one may not be acquainted with the laws relating to the selling and retailing of ardent spit its, we publish the following that .hose who sell may lcnow whether or not they have complied with the laws, and if *hey have complied whether they have con formed to their requirements ; and also, tha! the community at large, who should feel a deep interest in tlie matter, may have an eye to their own welfare, and bring those to jus tice who maybe guilty of violating the law. In the surrounding country there are mary slaves, and they frequent our town, at alj times for the purpose of purchasing such things as they desire; it would therefore be well for their owners to keep a lookout that the laws be enforced and their property sav ed from ruin. These retnatks are not intended as a re flection upon any one, as we know oi none who have violated the laws in this particu lar; but have been penned with a view to in form those who may be ignorant of the laws on this subject, to caution those who may deal in the article, and to arouse the vigilance of those interested. The law reads thus : That from and immediately after the pas sage of this act. upon the application of any person forlicens-j to retail spirituous liquors, the Clerk ofthe Inferior Court to whom such application may be made, shall, befoie granting such license, require the applicant in whose name such license shall issue, to take and subscribe the following oath, to wit: I do solemnly swear that l will not. during the next succeeding t.-.elve months, sell, barter, give or furnish to any slave or slaves, or any free person of color, any measure er quantity of distilled spiritous or intoxicating liquor, without tbe verbal or wiitten consent of the owner, overseer or employer of such slave or slaves, or without the like consent of the guardian of such free person of co lor; aud I do further swear that 1 will not suffer or allow any other person to do so foi me by iny approbation, knowledge or con sent, so Help me God. Sec. 3. And be It further enacted, Thai on or before the first day of June next, am annually thereafter, each and every vendei ofany measure or quantity less than one gal lon of distilled spiritous or intoxicating li quor, shall, and are hereby required to taki and subscribe tite above aud foregoing oath See. 3. And be farther enacted, That frou and after the first day of J line next, and an nually thereafter, each and every person who inay or shall become a vernier of any mea sure or queutiry less than one gallon of dis tilled spiritous or intoxicating liquor, shall, an 1 are hereby required to take aud subscribe aud foregoing oath. Sec. 4. And be it frrtktr enacted. That upon the neglect or refusal of any person so required to take aud subscribe the above and foregoing oath, each and every person so neglecting or refusing, shall be, and are here »> nade liable and subject to all the pains and penalties which a person retailing with out liceuse is now subject to by law. See. 5. And be it farther enacted, That each and every oath so taken, sha'l be sub scribed by the person taking the same, and ittested by the Clerk of the Inferior t’nurt, tefore whom the same shall be taken, in a book to be kept by him for that purpose. From the National Intelligencer. GEN. MACOMB'S REPORT OF HIS PROCEEDINGS IN FLORIDA. Head Quarters of the Army of the U. S. Fort King, Florida, May Hi, 18u9. Sir: Agreeably to the instructions I had tite honor to receive from your hands at Washington on the 20ih of March last, I lost no time in repairing to Florida, and ar rived at Black creek, the general depot of the army on the sth of April. There 1 had tbe good fortune to meet with Brigadier Gen eral Taylor, the commander of the fort es in this Territory, then on a tour ol inspection and review oft he troops, and. at the same time engaged in his plan of dividing the country nearest to the setthincuts into squares oi twenty miles, and establishing posts thereon. This fortunate meeting enabled me to place .a the hands of General Taylor a copy of your instructions, aud to give him ordets to co operate with me m carrying those instruc tions into effect, directing his attention par ticularly so the protection of the settlements along the line from Carey's Ferry to Talla hassee, and vest of the latter place, author izing him at tbe same time to call into ser vice such a force of militia as mentioned in your instructions. General Taylor having with him interpreters and Indians connect ed with the hostile parties by ties of consan gniuity and intermarriage, was desired too pen, if possible, a communication with them, aud thereby make them acquainted with the fact cf my arrival in the country, and my wish to see the chiefs and warriors at this post by the Ist of May instant, to hold a conterence with them. Col. Twiggs, who was then commanding at Garey’s Ferry, hav ing military authority over a considerable extent ofcountry, was also made acquainted with my instructions, and lie rendered a rea lly and efticieut aid in furthering my views. Col, Warren of Jacksonville, win* heretofore had command of the militia serving in Flor ida, and was highly recommended to me on account of his efficiency and activity as au officer, was invited to raise and take com mand. as Lieutenant Colonel, of a battalion of mop pled militia, lo assist in the defence of the 6ettleme*’ts east of the Suwannee, and expel the Indians. Although quite incon venient to him at that time on account ofhis private affairs, the Colonel very promptly complied with my wishes- In the mean while, Gen. Taylor was making arrangements with the Governor of Florida in raising, for the defence of the settlements on the west of the Suwannee, a military force. Not withstanding all these measures, the Indians, dividing themselves into small patti’s, pen etrated the settlements, committed some murders, aud fired from their coverts on the expresses and passengers going from post to post. Under these circumstances, it was the general belief that no communication could be opened with the hostile parties, especially as it had been given out that the lodiaus would, oil no account receive any messen gers. hut would destroy any person that might approach with .* flag. This threat having been executed more than once, con firmed the opinion that it was worse than useless to attempt to communicate with them. Finding at Garpy’s Ferry a party of prisoners, consisting of one man and two well grown lads, and a number of women and children, amounting in all to eighteen, it oc curred to me that, by treating them kindly, I might, through their instrumentality, com municate with the hostile bands. Accord ingly, I set them at liberty, and sent them into the country in search of their friends, that they might make known to them tnd the Indians cenerally, the object of my coming among them. Gen. Taylor also, sent out his Indians, in whose sincerity and nond? , ? ts *•" h“‘.! confidence. The first attempt to open a communication entirely failed, Gen Taylor’s Indians having left him and joined the hostile party below Tampa, aud those sent by me returned without see ing any whatever. In the mean time, re ports were received of the continued hostil ities of tite Indians, and of tlteit attacking defenceless people and killing them. Ac cording to my previous notification that I would be at this post by the Ist of May, 1 left Garey's Ferry on the 25th of April, with a guard of dragoons, taking with me the pris onets previously mentioned, and again sent them off in scarcli of their friends; but it was not (after remaining here) until the 9th inst. that any Indians called to visit me. Knowing the slowness of the Indians in performing any matter of national impor tance, 1 did not yield to the greueral belief that none would attend my invitation, and 1 had the gratification to receive a visit from a young chief of considerable importance, ac companied by seven young active warriors. I explained to the . hies the object ol rnv mission, telling hint that his great father (jhe President] was sorry that there had been so much fighting between his white and red children, and that for their good lie recommended to them to cease firing on each other, and make peaee. The chief ex pressed himself greatly delighted with the prospect of peace. I told him that if the whole nation would retire below Peas creek hostilities would cease, and that they might remain there until further arangements could be made. He again expressed lus gladness at hearing what I said, and prom ised that he would take my fconitnn tication andsprea l.it persuaded that it would be well received by alt his people. In a fen davs after he collected a considerable party of his people, consisting of m ail women, and children, and paid me another visit. I re peated to him, in their presence, the same “talk,” and they seemed all pleased with it. I then made them sonic presents, after which they departed much gratified, for they were all in a most destitute condition, as to clothing and other necessaries. On the 17th instant, Lt. Colonel Henry, of the 2d dragoons, who had previously re ceived tnv directions to open a communica tion with the Indians in the southern por tion ofthe peninsula, near Key Biscay tie, arrived with Ghitto-Tusteuuggce, principal chief of the Seminoles, who had been re cently elected by a council held by the Sem inoleg and Micasukies. Chitto-Tustenug gee expressed a great degirethat the busi ness on which lie was called to meet me might be speedily attended to. According ly, on the next day a meeting was held, '■» "rs wb«H°-Tustenuggee, a-tended ' °* “"-Snake, by O-che-Hadjo, « .... ——G who came with him to wttuess the iugs at the request ofthe Nation, and Har lock-Iladjo, Chiel ofthe Micasukies iu this •ectiou of the country, and all his band that had not been despatched by him to call in the warriors who were out in detached par ties. After going through the usual cere monies among Indians ot shaking, I explain ed to the meeting who 1 wag, and the ob ject of itiy itiiss ons among them, at w hich they immediately evinced great satisfaction, i then dictated to them the terms of peace, which they readily accented, manifesting great jav on the occasion, and they have been dan-ing aud singing according to their fashion, in token of friendship and peace, in which many of our officers joined them all being satisfied ol the sinc*rity olthc res pective parties. The enclosed general order, announcing the result of the confer ence, exhibits the terms of peace. Under existing circumstances, 1 did not think it necessary to enter into a formal written trea ty ; such an instrument, with Indians, hav ing but little binding effect. Nor did I think it politic, at this time, to say any tiling about their emigration, leaving that subject open to such future arrangements as the Gcvernm«“nt may think proper to make with them. No restriction upon the plea sure of the Government in this respect has been imposed, nor has any encouragement been given to the Indians that they J would be permanently to remain in Florida? There is every reason to believe that when the Indians remaining in Florida shall shall learn the prosperous condition of their brethrenin Arkansas, they will, at no distant period, ask to be permitted to join them I have ihe honor to be. sir very respect fully, your obedient srvant, ALEX.

The terms of the agreement are. that hostilities immediately cease between the parties, that the troops of the United States, and the the Seminole and Mickasukie Chiefs and Warriors now at a distance be made ac quainted as soon as possible with the fact, that peace exists and that all hostilities are forthwith to cease on both sides; the Sem inoles and Mitkasukies agreeing to retire into a district of country in Florida below Pease Creek, the boundaries of which are as follows viz, beginning at the most South ern point of l->nd between Charlotte Harbor and the Sanybel or Coluosa-liatchee river, opposite to Sanybel Island, thence into Charlotte Harbor by the Southern pass, be tween Pine Island and said point, along the Eastern shore of said harbor, to Talaka- Chopkoor Pease Greek, thence up that riv er to iiatchee Thloke or Big Creek, thence up said Creek to its source, thence Easterly to the Northern point of Lake Istepoga, thence along the Eastern outlet of said Lake called Istepoga Creek, to the Kissimmc river, thence Southwardly down the Kissimmee to Lake Okee Chobec, thence sou'll through said Lake to Eealahatchee or Slunk river, thence down said liver, Westwardly to its mouth, thence along the sea shore North wardly to t lie place of beginning : that sixty days be allowed the Indians North and East of that boundary to remove their families "r.a effects into sal;! :*:stilct, where they are to remain until further arrangements are t made, under the protection of the troops of the United States, who are to see that they be not molested by intruders, citizens or for eigners, aud that the said Jndiai s do not pass the limits assigned them, except to visit the posts which will be hereafter indicated to them, All persons are therefore forbidden to enter the district assigned to said Indians, without written permission from some com manding officer of a military post. ALEXANDER MACOMB, Maj. Gen. Commanding iu Chief. By command of the General, Edward Schriver, Capt. & A. A. Gen. MEXICO *.NL) TEXAS. The news contained in our columns to day from Mexico is of no oi dinary charac ter. The defeat of the Federalists, and death of G.ui. Mexia, the gradual reinstate ment of the sanguinary wretch Santa Anna, and the unfavorable reception of Mr. Bee. the Tcxian Minister, all conspire to render highly probable another invasion ot the youthful Republic ofthe North. That San ta tuna long since det rt-itied such a result vas but too evident. The boht and ever vi gi’ant Lamar, has been, we doubt not,fully apprised of bis unprincipled purpose, and has looked w ith tome foresight to the final conflict. The day has pas-etl, when flic im becile and haughty Mexican can carry much terror in his arms, to lire hardy and fearless adventurers ofthe North. The inemoty of the Alamo on the one hand, ami San Ja cinto on the other, would now stimulate to deeds of daring and heroism, that must sig nalise, the one, and forever cow and defeat the other party. Gen. Hamilton gave wise counsel when he told the Texiaus to for bear and act on the defensive; to avoid the horrors of war as long as possible; but il the conflict must come, and inevitably, to be prepared for it; and then the Anglo- Sagou American flag would soon float in triumph over the proud capitol ol the Mon tezntnos. This result would seem to b« inevitable. Thcsubjugation ol Mexico, and the exterpation of her mongrel race, are e vents. which thousth not desirable by tbe philanthropist ; may yet become necessary, and even an act of humanity. She has retarded the progress ofeivilization for more than half a century. She has drenched her fertile plains with fraternal blood; lias violated every treaty made with foreign na tions, and broken he plighted faith at plea sure. Her career has been one of infamy and of shame, and the sooner she is check ed in her nefarious course, the better. A few mouths will reveal the probable rcsul^ nutter, and pernit UMaian | I public to foresee the necessity T* , 1 V* energetic action. Columbus X!^t tirtT*. FOURTH OF JULY, Florence Ua. June, 31839.
