Angels their choral pow'rs employ,
And bear the heir of bliss along
With harps well tun'd to sweetest song,
They watt their charge to endless Joy.

In heavenly rays,

Presidentiat.-The Florence Gazette says-sThe
certainty of Gen. Jackson's election becomes so
much stronger every day, that we have concluded
that our humble efforts could be of no service to
him; and We freely confess that on this account we
have abated much Of our labor in his favor"

more certain than the success Of MIR. Crawford"

Mr.. Jonathan Russell, the lately defeated Antag-

for the publication, is an obstacle the circulation

very important information affecting their interests,

had not been legally secured in his life time? and

Cotton Crops.-Owing to the reduced price which
the staple of our country brot in market last season,
much less cotton was planted this year than might
have been expected. In the early part of the sea-
son the prospects oil the cotton planters atter
ing--lheir crops, though SMALL promised to yield
abundantiy; but their hopes have been blighted--
the rot has made its appearance in our cotton fields,
and has proved very destructive we have been as
sured by one gentleman in this vicinity, extern

one field which, on the first of August, bid fair to
yield 100000 lbs. seed cotton, (Red River and Next

then one-ha!f the usual quantity OF cotton will be
raised in this part of the state from the northern

the Quakers Of Pennsylvania have dealt
with great justice towards the Indian
DatiODs, and those parts Of the Union
have experienccdgreat advantages from
their equitable mode Of proceeding. -
Much OF bIoodshed has been saved to
them; and by ENGRAVING the Puritan
and Quaker principle OF goodness into
their policy, the United States have
been emineutly successful in preserv.
ing peace aAd friendship with the abo-
rhymes.
What we are deslrous of seeing, is
ia an uniform adherence to this Christi
an policy. The recent attack upon the
Aricaras was an evident departure from

Justice is virtue Of such an exalt.
ed nature, that when tempered with be-
niticence, 1t scarcely ever fails to Sc
cure the affection Of savages, and even

A petty triumph In skIrmish with a
wretched Indian tribe will bear no CON.

rigid administration OF Justice In re-
lalion To the aborigInes Is calculated TO
make upon their min0s. AS It respects
them, enquiry into the merits OF aileg.

application of military force. Conf

son for the Indians to suspect an object
other than that of trade, which should
always be conducted in the most paci

been opposed to the gradual extension
of military posts on our frontiers: but
it does appear to US that this extension
should not be pushed too rapidly beyond
the bounds of our settlements. The one
would then support the other: and the
visible increase of population would
combine with the army in convincing
the Indians that host,lIties on their part
must be entirely fruitless. If our ira
