From the proclamation t. the Sheriff OF one of
'be counties ut Indiana, itsppeirs tlat tn p ople
1.-THE Territory of lndisna have accept the ter,ns
prou osed hy Cor fsr their a,.r ission into the
Urion, and are about Immediately to elect their
l. gislatur ard their preventative to viii they
are TO be entitled in the Congress of The U tied
States.
ore OF those public acts peculiar TO our government
and is one of tue mist inpos Ing and solemn char
actcr Ia the case before US, the admission has
been sanct'onedb By an unanmily which is pledge Of
the hearty welcome with which the State Of IN
DIANA will be greeted sister in the Republican
family.
There can be little doubt, considering the char.
acer OF the population of Indiana Territory, com
posed principally of elnigrants from the old Unit
ted States, aud carrying with them all the political
principles OF our revolution, that they will prove a
valuable, as it il certain they will form ahghlv i'm
portant portion OF the nation. We have moi vet
received the Constitution they have agreed on
but, from the consideration already stated, apart
from tie requ.st.on OF the law of Congress on the
subject, there can be no doubt but their form of
Government will be Radically and thoroughly Re-
publican.
we have asyet learnt, from the report of the
pubic prints, but one feature Of the new constitn-
ton, which 1t is probable, from its being the ouly
one paitcuiarzed, Is the most important. 1t the
prohibition oil slavery for life. This however I'm.
suited To the habits and property of more southern
territory, will probably be valuable to nliana as
1t mas proved to Ohio, and will attract to that state
a large proportion of the annual swarans from the
northern hives, who will improve and fertilize,
whilst they populate the soil. Where slavery was
coevai with settlement, we see prospect of its
early oradvaatagcous abolition where it has not
existed heretofore, we hope it will never be per-
nitted TO intrude.-[ MAJ. Int.

Indians in Florida, (the Seminoles) & had
given assurances that they would captur-
and destroy the obnoxious fort on Appala
chicola Bay: most of the hostile Indians
were said to be on visit at Pensacola,
where 800 Spanish troops had lately arri-
we'd.
The Indians having been suspected of
burning the dwelling occupied by the fa-
mily of the late colonel Hawkins, at the
Agency, we have been requested by the
sufferers from the conilagration to state,
that such suspicion is entirely without
foundation. There is little doubt but tue
fire was communicated from a candle to
