Lejgkt's Appointment.— It 1$ cell uoificialiy announced by the Evening Post, that ‘•William Leggett E*q. has been appointed coiitidential agent tr* >lll this roveruineut to the Republic of Central A ITI >nca. In making this announcement, the Post has the grace to attempt an apology lor Mr. Van Huron's shameless duplicity in pie discharge of Mr. L)e Witt, from his diplomatic agency at Gauti nala, which led to the melancholy suicide of that iiafortnu ate gentleman, i’hat his death m iybedi rectly referred to this unexpected and rude dismissal from the sera ice of his country, we are well aware that no doubt can be en tertained; but for this Mr. Van Buret tan,mt be held responsible, His eneinie will not profit even by his own teaching, in the art of making “|>olitical capital” from the ashes o('the dead. But for the mean, theidi charade ristic duplicity which atten ded this dismissal, Mr. Van Buren is res ponsible, rand for this he will be justly held to an account. Mr. De Witt was charge at Gantimala. On the al eged ground that there was no further necessity for such an official a re-it at that place, Mr. De Witt was dis missed, by Mr. Van Buren— s uddenly and unexpectedly dismissed, without any itnpu titioa upon his character, or the fidelity ol ], * public service The only reason as'ign ciwiithit the President, had dftermiued n ''dispense with the mission."

These are the councils and confidents ot Mr. Van Burtu One of the most glaring and objectionable specimens of "Executive interference with he freedom of Elections,” that we have ever yet seen, is to be found in the Globe of Thurs day las;, in winch the Attomney Gemkhai. 01 the United States appears under his own -ign manual, in propria persona, as the writer ut au electioneering paper intended ior tiie feimemre market, wntten and sent to a citizen ot that Sta e, to lie used in the political contest now going on there, and published now for the benefit of the party generally.

He voted, 111 the same body, fora resolu tion claiming for Congress the pow er to ap propriate money for Internal Improvement! fie has since professed State Rights doc trines, yet as President of theUuited States signed every bill making appropriations for Internal Improvements! He has recommended a National Bank rupt Law, giving the General Government authority to anna! the Charters of Bank ing Institutions granted by the States, in contempt of the Slates authorities. He is at the head of a party claiming to be the ft i ends of Reform, yet the expendi tures ol the Government have been increas ed from T irieen millions to Forty ! 1 i e has permitted known defaulters to hold office for years after their frauds were de tected, whilst he has hurled honest and faithful officers from their stations, without no'ice and without cause ! lie failed to require an official bond fre tn S'.vartwout for three years , in direct and pal pable violation of law, by which millions have been lost to the Public Treasuiv ! In short, he has administered the Gov ernment loosely, profligately and corruptly. Can tin- honest yeomanry of the country, who despise fraud and falsehood, give their support to such a ruler, or to men who sus tain such eiiorii'iiie* ?—Richmond IVliig. Doom of the Administration! —The most casual observer of public events must per ceive, and the most uncandid partisan ac knowledge, that the doom of Mr. Van Bu ren’s Adiiiinistr.ili ill is staled. The fol lowing States arc either certainly against it, or must be so classed upon the latest and best evidence befoic the Public, viz : Mas sachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island, Con nccticut, New York, New Jersey, Deleware, Maryland, North Carolina, Georgia, Lou Diana, Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Indiana. Doubtful Pennsylvania, Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Illinois. For Mr. Fan Buren —Maine, New Hampshire, Arkansas, Missouri and Michi gan.^ We set down Ohio as certain, upou the latest intelligence; the doubt which is felt of t at State is a doubt of her relative pre ference of Mr. Clay or Gen. Harrison, not of her Whig supenoiity. These sixteen State* embrace a large ma jority of Electoral votes, and a very heavy m ajority of the American People. It is not probable that the Revolution is “to g<> backwards,” or that any thing can occur to shake the existing political attachments and convictions of the People. Mr. Van Bo ren has no hold on the imaginations of the People. What popularity he has, was a mere reflection at first from Gen. Jackson, and has been sustained since by party stim ulants. His Administration has been cal culated to diminish and not iuctease it— Richmond IFhig. We support Mr. Van Buren because h“ is unti-Tariflf and anti-internal improve nieni and the friend of Southern princi ples.—Southern Argus. Why do you call him “anti-Tariff?" Because he voted for the Woolen’s Bill of 1827 and the monstrous Tariff of 1828 and opposed the compromise of 1833 ? And why do you call him “anti Internal Improve ment ?” Because, as a Senator, be voted for toll-gates on the Cumberland Road, and as President, has signed every Internal Im provement bill, without exception, that has passed through Congress? And why do you cal! him “the friend of Southern prin ciples? Because he voted for the infam ous Missouri restriction and exerted him self in the N‘ov York Convention in favor ol that most abominable of all conceivable abominations, free negro suffrage ? Louisville Journal. A Mistery Explained !—lt is often ashed how a remnant Tribe of poor, hunted, des titute Indians, have been able to supply themselves with Ammunition and Provisions to sustain a sanguinary, ceaseless and pro tracted warfare. This question, we say, has been often asked, though we have not seen it answered. But an officer who lias been engaged in that War, to whom we applied fur information, lias explained the mystery, lie says that the Indians are secretly sup I lied with Ammunition and Provisions by Government Contractors and Speculators who are making splendid fortunes out of the War! The Indians, lie says, have no means or facilities for obtaining Ammuni tion, and m> time to »ais3 provisions. But for the collusion of Contractors and Spec ulators, who are interested in keeping up the War, the ledians would long since have been defenceless.— Alb. Eve. Jour. The above coincides with information which we have received, and almost incred ible and atrocious as the reported conduct of the Government agents is. we have reason to believe them guilty of the practices charged. It is notorious that the Black !lawk war was got up and maintained as a matter of a speculation; indeed, many per sons at the west, acquainted with Mtc facts, professed their readiness to take the war oft' the hands of the Government, and carry it on at half price. Had proposals been invited there is little doubt that the contest would have been brought to a much speedier termination, and at half the cost to the na tion. Since then the sharking speculators have grown more astute. They have too much sagacity to kill the goose, and the war. we may rest assured, will go on so long as Unde Sam sill furnish the means .—Buffa lo l \i! riot. THE MIRROR Saturday, June 33, For Governor , €IIARLES DOIGnERTY. St’itr Right# .domination. At a meeting of the State Rights Party of Stewart county held at Lumpkin on Tues day last, the following gentlemen were nominated as candidates to represent this county in the next Legislature; viz. SENATE. LOVER!) BRYAN. REPRESFNTA TIVES, WILLURD BOYNTON, JOHN WEST, JOSEPH WOOD. "We have uot yet learned however wheth er they have accepted the nomination. The Southern Literary Messenger for June is on our table. It is one of the best numbers of that “best of Magazines.”— Those who wish to enjoy Monthly a rich intellectual repast would do well to subesribe forthwith. We will take pleasure in for warding their names! Charles Ilavnes, who, it will be recollec ted, killed liis brother in Muscogee coun ty a week or two ago, and fled from justice, has been apprehended, and we presume by this time lodged in Jail to await his trial, lie was arrested in Barbour county Ala. opposite Franklin, and was carried, bound and guarded, though this place to Colum bus on Tuesday morning last. THE VIRGINIA ELECTIONS. The smoke cf the contest having blown over, and the clamor, and uproar of the Van Buren presses, throughout the coun try having almost subsided, we will take a look into the matter, and ascertain, as nearly as possible the extent of the mischief. The Van Buren Democrats, confident in the success of their schemes and stratagems, which they had been at so much pains to concoct before the elections, could not res train their ebullitions of joy, blit raised the -bout, and cried out victory, even before tiiey had heard the result. As on many athcr occasions, however, they have been premature in their rejoicings, and now find that there is less reason for self congratula tion than they imagined having as usual “calculated without their host.” The following are the members elected to Congress. Whigs. Van Buren. Henry A Wise, Linn Banks, John Taliaferro, Andrew Beirne, R. M. T. Hunter, Walter Cowles, John M. Botts, Robert '‘raig, John Hill, G. C. Droomgoole, Win. L. Coggin, Joel Ilolleman, Chas. F. Mercer—7 Jos. Jones, Jno. W. Jones, Conservatives. Win. Lucas, James Garland, Fr. E. Rives, Geo. W. Hopkins—2 Lewis Steenrod, G. B. Samuels—l 2. The election of Win. Lucas Esqt- is contested by his opponent Mr. Barton (Whig.) with every probability of success. Lucas’ majority was only four, while it is said to be susceptible of proof that nearly fifty illegal votes were deposited in liis fa vour; two of his constituents alone voted for him four times. Should Mr. Barton succeed the delegation will be composed of Ten Whigs ami Conservatives and Eleven Van Buren men showing a loss of four from the Admirnsttution ranks since the last elec tion. The Legislature will be composed of 80 Vhigs, 13 Conservatives and 74 Loco Foeos, showing a majority of 17 on joint ballot in favour of the Whigs and Conserva tives, which will enable them to elect their U. S. Senator, who, we have no doub t, will be Mr. Rives, on account of his tnanly and independent course during the last sessiou of (fongerss. DEMOCRACY. This much abused word is, we fear, but little understood, in these days of political degeneracy. As the epithetol a party, its true meaning is rarely, if ever referred to, and cannot, therefoie, be considered an in dex to the principles of a party, wluse lead ers, knowing “the magic of a name,” have assumed it, in order to dupe the unthinking, but honest part of the people who, always willing for others to think and act for them, are apt to fall iuto the ranks of those who make the loudest ptofeasions of patriotism. Van Buren’s paitizans have, in the true spirit of their master’s political tact, arroga ted to thenwelves the specious cognomen of (heaven save the mark !) Democratic Re publicans. Now, wc are entirely at war with this kind of political blindfolding, and believe in no thing so much as calling things by their right names. The evil of sufteriog men to mask themselves in false colors and become the leaders of a party, has been sufficiently felt and deprecated in our own State. Strip from the leaders of the opposite party the captivating name of “Union,” and give them their proper appellation of Consolodatinnists and Subinissionists, and what would be t’*e consequence? Men, whose minds have long been asleep in political matters, or who> at least, Lave merely skimmed along the sur face, without investigating principles and doctrines, would be found throwing otf their allegiance, and rallying around the banttet of State Rights, the only true means of pre serving the Constitution and the Union.—- We protest then, against the propriety ol permitting the Van Buren party to appro priate to themselves a name which possess a charm iu the eyes of the American people, while their principles and practices are ut terly at variance with the doctrines contain ed in it. The following, from the Albany Daily Advertiser, is an admirable summary of the objections to Van Buren Democracy : We deny the “democracy” of a party which sustains ihe President of the United States in the theory that the sole control of the Army, the Navy, and the money of the uation is vested in his hands, and t! at Con gress cannot take it from him without a violation of the Constitution. We deny the “democracy” of the party which asserts that the President is the Representative of the People. That his oath o f office is a source of power. That he is to obey the Constitution as he understands it. That power was ‘‘left in his hands” pre cedent to the Constitution. That he is right in superintending and protecting the morals of the people, That it is a legitimate use of his power, to reward his friends and punish his ene mies. a theory which strikes at the very root of democracy, tor what becomes of freedom of opinion if a man is to be “punished” for his sentiments. We deny the “democracy” of that party which proclaims that all the offices of emol urnetit and honor throughout the country, are to be considered but as the “ spoils of the vanquished," to be distributed solely for the benefit ot the "victors." Such a theory is at war with the practices aud opinions of Air. Jefferson. We deny the “democracy” of the party which justified President Jackson's seizure of the Public Aloney through the abrupt dismissal of a conscientious Secretary and the employment of a pliant tool. We deny the “democracy” of the party which justifies the abuse of the veto power. Which strengthens unduly the executive nnn at the expense of Congress and the States— therein abandoning the ancieut democracy and trenching directly upon the old federal ground. We deny the “democracy” of the party which practically defines “Reform,” to be an extension of Abuses—and "Economy" to be unsurpassed extravagance. *YVe deny tlie “democracy” of the party which upholds and justifies the influencing of legislation in Congress, though the offi cial patronage of the executive. In short, we deny that the professions of those who arrogate to themselves an exclu sive claim to democracy, are in keeping with their practice.—They are widely at variance aud although the professors are loud in their clamors about Jtheir "pT.T.cylea" their course of action lias a fliretd tendency to i elevate to power and place, the selfish, the mercenary, the venal, and the corrupt. From the Tallahassee Star, ll th inst. PUBLIC MEETING. At a meeting of the citizens of Tallahas see aud its vicinity, held agreeably to pub lic notice at tbc Court House on Saturday last, on motion of J.B.Webb, Gen. Thom as Brown was called to preside, and S. S. Sibley appointed Secretary. The object of the meeting having been stated by the Chairman the r nieeting was addressed by William P. Du Val, Esq. in au animated and eloquent speech on the subject of the disastrous Seminole War and in relation to the treaty, recently concluded by Gen. Macomb with a few of the Chiefs, commu nicated in tlie morning paper. Gov. Du Val concluded by etferingthe following pream ble and resolutions which were adopted without a dissenting voice. On motion of Col. Wyatt, the word unanimous was order ed to be inserted. PREAMBLE AND RRSOLUTIONS. We, citizens of Leon county, (Florida) have seen in th public prints with regret and dismay, that a treaty is partially made o\ the commanding General of the United States Army, (Macomb.) with the Seminole Indians, under the authority of the War Department by which tho country is to be assigned temporarily , as it issttid to the Indt ans, but permanently, RS we shall noedoubt experience—wilt include «dl th* l * P art the peninsula of Florida, front the head wa ters of Peas Creek which into Charlotte Harbor, to the mouth of S.hark river according to certain boundaries. As a portion of this unfortunate, slandered arid desolated country, we do most earnest ly and solemnly protest against tins measure and with full confidence in the wisdom, and justice and humanity ofour national Legis lature. appeal to them to protect us a gainst a sacrifice so cruel ami wanton, and to preserve the people of Florida from such danger, and the countxy from such disgrace. At thii time, while this national disgrace will be insured by lie treaty, ruinous to the prosperity and danenrous so the safety of Florida, the commander of the United States Army, in person, as we are informed has issued bis order declaring a suspension of hostilities, while the Indians under this hollow truce, are murdering our citizens in the east, under the nose of this officer, and in Middle Florida have destroyed several families and fired their dwellings—the reg ular troops at the several military posts must, and do, remain neutral and inactive uncler bis order. We view it as an act of supererogation on ihe part of this General, and ambassa dor extraordinary to the Seminole nation, to issue such an order, inasmuch as wc have no reason to suppose that during the last year and a half the regular treopsaltogeth er have destroyed or injured, half a dozen Indians by force of mines. We hive good authority for sayiug that several of the Seminole ]*>dianssent off from this country to the far west, have returned to Florida, and we believe that many of th:m are now returning to this Territory. These Indians have communicated trom Mi> anope and Jumper, to the Indians in Florida, that they have not land in the west assigned to them sufficient to bury them. Under these cir cumstances, if the contemplated treaty is made, the Seminole emigrants and many of the discontented Creek Indians will re turn and locate themselves in Florida, and in less than three years, the Indian force will be much greater than we found it at the commencement of the present disastrous war. If the Senate should ratify such a treaty, we shall be found in a deplorable state. No prudent man will remove to Flor da ; for if we ever have war with a foreign power, utter ruin will fall on the country : unite a respectable foreign force, with the Seminole Indians—and not Florida alone, but the States adjoining will greatly suffer. With such guides—backed by a forraida ble force, collected from the West India emancipated inhabitants—the danger will oecoine greater than we can now undertake to anticipate. If these Indians are located temporarily, they w ill never hereafter be removed but by exter.niuatinn—taor will our country be wil ling to hazard again defeat, ami disgrace by anoiher conflict with these Indian* Ist. Be il therefore Resolved, That the Governor of Florida be requested to issue bis proclamation to assetnb'e tlie Legisla tive Council on the first .Monday in Novem ber next, at Tallahassee, and the Legisla tive Council be requested, when assembled to seud on a committee with their remon strance and protest, against ratification of any treaty that may be made, tn locate ihe Indians in Florida, and that such commit tee unite with the Delegate iu Congress in iu opposing such treaty. 2d. Resolved, That we highly approve of the sentiments roniaind in the letter of the .Secretary of War, in answer to oncad dressed to him by Gen. Jesiip, then com mantling in Florida, rebuking him for sug gpxting, the Indians might be r* ndered Irienul”, by locating them in Florida. 3d. Resolved, That it is insulting to the feelings of the people of the United States and degrading to our character, to send the Commander in Chief of the United States to sue for peace, to a lew Indians af ter a war offouryears, and in fact yielding up to the Indians all they have ever requir ed. 4th. Resolved, That the Seminole Indi ans and the inhabitants of Florida, cannot maintain peace, and live in the same conn tty, anil if any treaty shall be ratified, loca ting these Indiaus in Florida it will be a paper treaty only. Florida is the last, place in the limits of the United Stales, wherein the Indians should be permitted to remain for obvious rea sons. Ist. They have access to the Atlantic and the Cull Stream, and are always accessible to the enemies of the United States. 2d. In war with any foreign pow«>r, they will be induced to take pa t against us, and will guide our enemies through every part of our country. 3d. If located in Florida, the runaway slaves will find refuge and protection with them. 4th- The contiguity of emancipated col ored population of the West Indies, would in a war with some foreign power place Florida, and in lact the whole ofour South ern States, in jeopardy. There is no pos ition in which these Indians could be loca ted, so dangerous to the peace and happi ness of the Southern and interests of the United States, asthe Peninsula of Florida. 6th. Resolved It is the duty of our citi zens in every county in Florida, to assem ble and protest against the location of the Indians in the Peninsula, and wo call on them to unite with us in opposing the rati fication of any such treaty. The Editors of the several public prints in this Territory are requested to publish these proceedings—and the President of this meeting is requested, to send a copy of the S4it!° to the President of the United States, Secretary of War, the Governor of this Territory, and IP our Delegate in Coa trress". THOMAS BROWN, Chairman. S. S. Sibley, Sec’y. The Seminole IVar.— Peace is proclaim ed by proclamation of the American Gener al. Will the Indians abide by it. We think Genl. Macomb, would have gained ti ore laurels if he had been whipt by the Indians, than to have signed a tredty, cov ering the whole country with dishonor. Tiie war must and will be renewed again —fire and water could as soon mingle to gether as the relatives of our murdered citizens, and the blood-stained Seminole. There is no Peace ! there can be none while a Seminole roams in the Penin-ula. St. Joseph, Times. §?,The Whigs intend running Mr. Tal tnailge for the Vice Presidency.
