The Morgan Fever which the friends OF Mr.
ADAMS endeaVored recently to re-instate in the
western counties of n. York. having nearly sub
sided attempt was made on Monday last TO in
troduce it into The House of Representatives n the
shape OF petition from sundry citizens lately as
sembled at lie Roy in that state, but wtou, effect
The House refused 10 entertain the petition; and
by vote of LIZ TO 20, referred the sViec, 10 the
President.
In relation TO the extraordinary excitement That
has been produced in the western part of " York
IN consequence OF the abduction OF Morgan we
would remark, that some time ago. the civil authoii-
ty OF that state dispatched messengers 10 tbs Ar
kansas Territory, for the purpose OF procuring the
apprehension OF one more individuals, who
were suspected OF being participa.ors in this mys-
ferrous business; but their appreh snsoi was pre-
vented, owing to the improper and roprehen-
sibie conduct of tha U. States officer, command
ing Cantonment Towson, i'll the Arkansas Terrific
ry.
During the debate the petition in the House
oil Representatives on Monday, MIR. Storrs, OF New
York, referring to this subject, remarked:--that an
order had issued from the War Department for ar
resting the officer commanding at CantOnmcnt
iowson, in the Arkansas Territory, on charge OF
refusing obedience TO the instructions of the De-
partfnents to all in the arrest of Colonel King and
the delivery OF him the messengers sent from the
state OF n. Y. The Department had ordered this
officer to New York on his arrest that the maui
ry might be Ind without the Inconvenience of re-
curing the witnesses from that state 10 attend at
distant postand where the civil authorities of the
State could be at hand TO cooperate efficiently in
ANY measures necessary 10 lie pursued for fair
and full Investigation OF the CHARGES. Mr. S. said
that he had full confidence, that the Government
would promptly investigate any complaint made
by so respectable body OF citizens, against any Of
hccr Of the United States; and ne an Investigation
growing out OF the failure 70 arrest Colonel King
was now in progress he thought this memorial al
SO should be referred 10 the Executive Or the War
Department Prompt measures had been taken on
the application OF the late Executive Of " York in
relation 10 the arrest of Colonel King and be did
not doubt, that II II should appear that any oficor
OF thc u States had been concerned in the alcgad
abuses which had been charged 10 have taken Mace
