AN ACT
Supplementary to the act, entitled "An act relative to the election of president and vice president of the United States and declaring the officer who shall act as president, in case of vacancies in the offices of president and vice president."
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled. That whenever the amendment proposed during the present session of Congress to the Constitution of the United States, respecting the manner of voting for President and Vice-President of the United States, shall have been ratified by the Legislatures of three-fourths of the several States, the Secretary of State shall forthwith cause a notification thereof to be made to the executive of every State, and shall also cause the same to be published in at least one of the Newspapers printed in each State, in which the laws of the United States are annually published.—The executive authority of each State shall cause a transcript of the said notification to be delivered to the electors appointed for that purpose, who shall first thereafter meet in such State, for the election of a President and Vice-President of the United States: and whenever the said electors shall have received the said transcript of notification, or whenever they shall meet more than five days subsequent to the publication of the ratification of the abovementioned amendment, in one of the Newspapers of the State, by the Secretary of State, they shall vote for President and Vice-President of the United States, respectively, in the manner directed by the abovementioned amendment, and having made and signed three certificates of all the votes given by them each of which certificates shall contain two distinct lists, one, of the votes given for President, and the other, of the votes given for Vice-President: they shall seal up the said certificates, certifying on each, that lists of all the votes of such State given for President, and of all the votes given for Vice-President, is contained therein, and shall cause the said certificates to be transmitted and delivered, and in every other respect act in conformity with the provisions of the act to which this is a supplement.

FROM A LATE LONDON PAPER.
MILITARY INVENTION.
A SINGULAR wager, for the sum of fifty guineas, was decided last week in a rough sandy lane, near Birmingham; and, as the circumstances of the tale are of a novel and interesting nature, (especially at this particular juncture, when naval and military considerations are all the rage,) we shall endeavour to point out such particulars as have transfired with regard thereto:
An ingenious gentleman, of the name of Reddell, having invented what he calls a Carrade or Parajet, for the use of the infantry, some disputes, it seems, arose relative to the ease and expedition with which such articles might be removed from place to place; and the bet was, that two men should draw 120 lbs. in one of the said carriages, farther than any two men could carry the like weight; and as it was supposed that a heavy rough road would be in favour of those that carried the weight; the privilege was allowed them of choosing the worst (within a certain number of miles) that could be thought of. Accordingly, four very stout looking men started at the time appointed, and after marching about fourteen miles in three hours, the men with the burthen on their backs, gave up the contest, as the advantage proved to be greatly in favor of those with the carrade. The one that was used on the above occasion runs remarkably easy on two light but firmly constructed wheels, (about the size of those of a common wheelbarrow,) which wheels are placed in a peculiar manner, in the inside of the carriages, and nearly out of sight, and have steel cutters placed so as to prevent their clogging in the world of roads. It forms a commodious seat for two men, and underneath it, there is a place to hold the necessary articles. The back of the seat is between four and five feet high, and about three feet wide, covered with sheet iron, and some other ingenious contrivances, which is said to render it perfectly bullet proof. It is armed with strong and sharp iron spikes at the top, and it is proposed to make them of any height, from four and a half to six feet. The low ones adapted to fire over, and the high ones to have a suitable place to their benches, surrounded by guards in purple and ermin; whilst like a minister of divine wrath, he
denounces against them the vengeance of heaven, and the curses of posterity. The spies of the government have been known to faint, under his examination, alleging that they were unable to bear the fire of his eloquence and the tortures of his interrogatories. He is small of stature, and of a visage sallow and wan; but when he opens his lips, his personal defects vanish, his stature reaches the clouds, and he appears to be alone, graceful and lovely in the creation. You are under a species of enchantment similar to what Horace alludes to in his Art of Poetry, when the skilful dramatist transports you sometimes to Thebes and sometimes to Athens. Curran is indeed a magician, who enchants the imaginations of his hearers, and the spell is of such potency, that neither wisdom nor ignorance have any charm to resist it. When he harangues in defence of the rights of mankind, the most bigoted are in love with Liberty and virtue: whilst, with a master hand, he portrays the miseries of Ireland, not a dry eye is to be seen; the court is drowned in tears. Corrupt juries, packed and empanelled for the special purpose of condemnation, softened and touched by his eloquence, resign to him their victims; the prison doors fly open at his approach; the chains fall from the hands of the victims. He is the angel of mercy, whose lips, touched with fire by the Almighty, whisper hope in the dungeon of despair, and speak deliverance to the captive. But to form a correct estimate of this wonderful man, you must consider him, not merely as an orator, as a man distinguished in a single walk or department of literature. Men in general have their fort or strong ground in which lies their peculiar excellence and strength. But this is not the case with him; in every thing he is great: in every thing in the circle of the sciences: an attractive and luminous focus, on which rays are incessantly falling from all parts of the orb: a profound mathematician: a logician, acute, subtle and persuasive: a philosopher, elegantly speculative and profoundly erudite: a wit, sometimes lashing vice with the wrath and indignation of Juvenal, sometimes tittering at folly, with the elegant and courtly irony of Flaccus: a politician, clear sighted, steady and incorruptible: an orator realizing and transcending the definition of Cicero.
CETERA DESUNT.
WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. 3.
The following is the Address, lately delivered by the President of the United States, to the Chiefs of the Osage Nation. We offer it to the public, with a confidence that the sentiments of good it breathes towards the aborigines of the soil, will afford as much pleasure to the reader, as they confer honor on the government.
My Children, White Hairs, Chiefs and Warriors of the Osage Nation.
I repeat to you assurances of the satisfaction it has given me to receive you here. Besides the labor of such a journey, the confidence you have shown in the honor and friendship of my countrymen is peculiarly gratifying, and I hope you have seen that your confidence was justly placed, that you have found yourselves, since you crossed the Mississippi, among brothers and friends with whom you were as safe as at home.
My Children: I sincerely weep with you over the graves of your chiefs and friends, who fell by the hands of their enemies lately descending the Osage river. Had they been prisoners, and living, we would have recovered them: but no voice can awake the dead, no power undo what is done; on this side of the Mississippi where our government has been long established, and our authority organized our friends visiting us are safe. We hope it will not be long before our voice will be heard and our name respected, by those who meditate to injure our friends, on the other side of that river; in the mean time Governor Harrison will be directed to take proper measures to inquire into the circumstances of the transaction, to report them to us for consideration and for the further measures they may require.
My Children: By late arrangements with France and Spain, we now take their place as your neighbours, friends and fathers; and we hope you will have no cause to regret the change. It is so long since our forefathers came from beyond the great waters that we have lost the memory of it, and seem to have grown out of this land, as you have done; never more will you have occasion to change your fathers. We are all now of one family, born in the same land, and born to live as brothers, and the strangers from beyond the great water are gone from among us, the great Spirit has given you strength, and has given us strength; not that we might hurt one another, but to do each other all the good in our power. Our dwellings in-
deed are very far apart; but not too far to carry on commerce and useful intercourse. You have furs and peltries which we want, and we have clothes and other useful things that you want; let us employ ourselves then in mutually accommodating each other. To begin this on our part, it was necessary to know what nations inhabited the great country called Louisiana, which embraces all the waters of the Mississippi and Missouri, what number of peltries they could furnish, what quantities and kinds of merchandise they would require, where would be the deposits most convenient for them, and to make an exact map of all these waters. For this purpose I sent a loving man, Capt. Lewis, one of my own household, to learn something of the people with whom we are united, to let you know we were your friends, to invite you, to come and see us, and to tell us how we can be useful to you. I thank you for the readiness with which you have listened to his voice, and for the favor you showed him in his passage to the Missouri. I hope your countrymen will favor and protect him as far as they extend. On his return we shall hear what he has seen and heard, and proceed to establish trading houses where our red brethren shall chink, and to exchange commodities with them on terms with which they will be satisfied.
With the same views I had prepared another party to go up the Red river to its source, thence to the source of the Arkansas, and down to its mouth, but I will now give orders that they shall only go a small distance up the Red river this season, and return to tell us what they have seen, and that they shall not let out for the head of that river till the ensuing spring, when you will be at home, and will, I hope, guide and guard them on their journey. I also propose the next year to send another small party up the river Kansas to its source, thence to the head of the river of the Pairs, and down to its mouth, and others up the river on the North side of the Missouri. For guides along these rivers we must make arrangements with the nations inhabiting them.
My Children: I was sorry to learn that a schism had taken place in your nation, and that a part of your people had withdrawn with the great track, to the Arkansas river, we will send an agent to them and will use our best offices to prevail on them to return, and to live in union with you. We wish to make them also our friends, and to make that friendship, and the weight it may give us with them, useful to you and them.
We propose, my children, immediately to establish an agent to reside with you, who will speak to you our words, and convey yours to us; who will be the guardian of our peace and friendship, convey truths from the one to the other, dispel all fallhoods which might tend to alienate and divide us, and maintain a good understanding and friendship between us; as the distance is too great for you to come often and tell us your wants, you will tell them to him on the spot, and he will convey them to us in writing, so that we shall be sure that they come from you; thro' the intervention of such an agent, we shall hope that our friendship will forever be preserved, no wrong will ever be done you by our nation, and we trust that yours will do none to us; and should ungo-vernable individuals commit unauthorised outrage on either side, let them be duly punished; or if they escape, let us make to each other the best satisfaction the case admits, and not let our peace be broken by bad men, for all people have some bad men among them whom no laws can restrain. As you have taken so long a journey to see your fathers, we wish you not to return till you shall have visited our country and towns towards the sea-coast. This will be new and satisfactory to you, and it will give you the same knowledge of the country on this side of the Mississippi, which we are endeavoring to acquire of that on the other side, by sending trusty persons to explore them. We propose to do in your country only what we are desirous you should do in ours; we will provide accommodations for your journey, for your comfort while engaged in it, and for your return in safety to your own country, carrying with you those proofs of esteem with which we distinguish our friends, and shall particularly distinguish you. On your return tell your people that I take them all by the hand, that I become their father hereafter, that they shall know our nation only as friends and benefactors; that we have no views upon them but to carry on a commerce useful to them and us; to keep them in peace with their neighbors, that their children may multiply, may grow up and live to a good old age, and their women no longer fear the tomahawk of any enemy.
My children , these are my words, carry them to your nation, keep them in your memories, and our friendship in your hearts, and may the Great Spirit look down upon us, and cover us with the mantle of his love.
TH: JEFFERSON.
At the time the foregoing address was delivered, the chiefs were presented with the following instrument of writing on parchment:
Chiefs and Warriors of the Osage nation of Indians!
The president of the United States, takes you by the hand and invites you

WHEN tempests roll along the plain, And horror marks its dreaded reign; When thro' the leafless grove is heard The bated shriek of night's fell bird: And where the linnet used to sing, The raven flaps his heavy wing; Give me, ye Gods, the joy to prove, 'To waltz the hours with her I love!  What time, by awful silence crown'd, Night bears the deepens'd thunder's found; When darkness strikes the wretch with fears, Whose tread, the rustling's heard up stairs; While lightning points his devious way, And mark the murd'rer's deft'd prey; Give me, ye Gods, the joy to prove, And waltz the hours with her I love!  In village neat, in cottage clean, Where sweet content o'erprisp the green, Where, in my children's ev'ry grace, Their mother's varied charms I trace; To thee, around my sparkling fire, Add but a friend—and I desire No more, ye Gods! but still to prove, The joys of friendship, peace and love.  T. O. M.  "Trifles, light as air."
A jockey lately selling a nag to a gent-man, frequently observed with much earnestness, "that he was an honest horse." After the purchase, the gentleman asked him, "What he meant by an honest horse?"
