REMARKABLE WHIRLWIND

On Wednesday last, about 8 O'Clock;
took place, the most tremendous hurri-
cane or whirlwind ever experienced in
this county. AT the Fork meeting
house, called the Methodist meeting.
near the dwelling of Aquila Hall, Esq.
were swept away, seventeen houses
and several large trees, and fences were
swept oH--in fact, not single vcstige
is left in that thriving place except the
Westinghouse, and Westinghouse Of

The hurricane continued its course
from thence northerly across the Falls

vice. Of executive acts. Though we
could not lessen the horror so consider
ably felt, we merely undertook to decide
the odium: we have humbled ourselves
IN the presence of a petty officer, and
terrified by the bayonets of single re-
giment, we kissed the rod and justified
the common saying by our mean sub
mission and hattery, that " YOU ARE
NOT FIT TO BE FREE!"
Shall we be obliged to make this humi-
liating confession! No, sir! 1t is yet
IN our power to retrieve the credit we
have lost; to assume the character that
BELTS us; to address the legislature of
our country, in the language of manly
freedom; to shew to the executive how
much he has been deceived and betray-
ed, by the civil and military chiefs
and to give him an opportunity of dis
missing the weakness which degrades,
and the tyranny which ruins his service
IN this territory. And yet, sir, it is
principally for our own credit, that we
ought to seize this occasion of showing
that we are not the unworthy represent
tatlves OF patient and patriotic people.
For, whatever ideas we may have OF
our duty, the representative of the
United States will know theirs; though
we may be silent, they will speak they
are fearless, though we may tremble |,
and should we fatter, they will never
cringe; and next to the consolation of
having done my own duty, find one in
the certainty that there are at least one
hundred and thirteen independent men
IN our councils, who have remembered
their oaths and illpunish the betrayers
of their country.

Would, in fine, the naval force have been
stationed along the river in small detach-
ments or would they not have been
collected so as to act with some advan
tage against the descending force7 1t is
notorious, that at the moment when he
announced the greatest danger, of the
tour gun-boats in the river, only two
were stationed as high up as Point-Cou-
pee, and the two others at long intervals
on the river, SO that they might success
slYeiy have been taken, if half the sup
posed force had descended with the
hostile army ; and is it possible to sup
pose, that if the object had been to in
rerruPt the invasion of Mexico, that no
part OF the naval force should have been
stationed above Red River, and that
Nachltoches would have been left al
most without garrison? 1t is plain
therefore, from these acts, from these
OMISSIONS, from these arrangements, that
no serious danger was apprehended; but
mat Tor purposes BEST KNOWN TO THE
GENERAL HIMSELF, & TO HIS ICoADJU-
TORS, 1T was deemed necessary to keep
up the alarm; to divide and weaken the
country to curb the town to keen all

naval, and render the military force use
less; to magnify the force of the enemy,&
terrlty the executive, the legislature and
the Judiciary into dereliction of their
rights. AS to the first l leave you to Judge
whether or not he has not succeeded
the last remain yet at their posts, and
this day is to determine whether we are
TO partake the disgrace of the one, or.
share IN the credit due to the others.
For let lis not deceive ourselves as to
the effect which our appreciation of these
measures, or even our silence will pro-
duce-A sacred trust has been commit
ted to our keeping personal honor
national dignity and the solemn sane
ton OF an oath, concur in pointing out
our duty. Should we betray this trust;
should we disregard what we owe to

In stern accent, in which the voice of
