their previous negotiations with the Indians, the
commissioners of the United States had been unable
to bring the chiefs to proper sense of their mscon-

were the Indians aware Of the fact that the military
Iof the United States was directed against them, to
enforce the demand of the commissioners. than
they instantly brought in the individuals VINO had
been guilty of the murders, and delivered them up
to the persons authorized to receive them. Inc
ceremonies accompanying this act Of justice are
described as very solemn and impressive. One oi

ii is now, we presume, become manifest TO the,
whole State, that the doctrine of non-commlttals,
preached in the spring by the Argus and impressed
upon the republican party, as the only safe and pe-
coming course for them, was, as we then described
it, mere cover to divert public attention from the
Presidential question, in order that Mr.. Van Buren
and his tools might work without being suspected,
and assidueusly prepare matters, though IN me
dark, for an ultimate declaration in favour of the
candidate of the south. 1t was an order from the
chief manager to all and each of his ege adherents
comprising about as rotten portion OF the poPu-
aton of this great State any in it, and therefore,
perhaps the better fitted for the unscrupuous sort
OF work they are called upon to perform, to ap-
stain from forming or expressing any opinion OF
their own, as to the candidate to be supported tor
the Presidency, until his arrangements should be
completed, and his directions should in consequence
issue to determine their choice :. and the order
was obcyed. The Argus had no opinion The.
echoes Of the Argus had no opinion the mere poll
tical partzan, however he might previously have
felt or spoken-began to have opinon--nien,
even of grade higher than this--.men of sone
substance and understanding and in other affairs

II the impression is general that Virginia is un-
friendly to the Administration, there can be no great

Opposition is characersticaly clamorous, and that
