Permit ME, Sir, again TO ask how comes 1t. that
this Administration are brought into their pre-
sent very curious and unprecedented predcaments
How happens it, that the, alone, OF all the admin
istrations which have been in this country, find
themselves in the minority in each House of Con
gress "palsied by the wiHof their constituents s.
when the very worst of their predecessors kept
majority till midnight on the Sd or 4th Of March,
whichever you please to call it Ay, Sir, under
the administration to which | allude, there were
none of these compunctious vistings of nature, at
the attacks made on private character. We had
no chapter of lamentations, then, on the ravaging
and desolating war on the fair fame of all the wise
and virtuous, and good of our land. The notorious
Peter Porcupine, Since even better known as Will
liam Goblet, was the especial protege of that Ad-
ministration. I heard them say, do not mean
the head Of that Administration, but ore Of its
leaders, that he was the greatest man in the world
and do not know that, in point OF sheer natural
endowment, he was so very TAR wrong. Yes. Sir,
It was that very Goblet, who, if the late publica-
tons may be trusted, now says that Mr.. Adams
has fifteen hundred slaves in Virginia. WAS there

GEN. HARRISON.

This gentleman Is Just on the wing OF
departure upon his mission, as Minister res
ident ofthc United States to Colombia. He
sets out tomorrow for Washington, and
will probably SAIL for Laguira in short
time.
A number ofhis friends met him yester-
day, at the house Of his son, Col. w. H..
Harrison, in this CITY, to take a parting
leave. It was gratifying to observe that
the most violent and bitter partlzaRs on
both sides, were present, cordially uniting
in their good wishes for his health and hap
piness. 1t is no light compliment to the
General, that he is thus acceptable to men
ofall parties at home; and that those who
unite Innothing else, can unite in good feel
ing for him, and in bidding him, what they
all trust, IS but a temporary adieu.

Important .9rmy .Horcments.-We I'M
derstand that Fort Niagara is Immediate
" to be garrisoned by four companies Ofthe
second regiment of the United States In
fantry; and report says, that this fort will
be made head quarters of the frontier line
of posts. BY the Detroit papers, We are
informed of several new arrangements
made in the West, by the War Depart
ment, among which are the re-occuPancy
of Fort Dearborn, Chicago and Fort
Gratiot. But the most important measure
of the Department we conceive to be, that
of establishing a new post, immediately
upon the portage between the Fox and Ou-
isconsin rivers, in the country Of the WI
nebago Indians. Permission for this was
obtained ofthe natives at the late treaty at
Green Bay. The post will be called Fort
Winebago, and is to be garrisoned bytwo
companies of the first regiment Of United
States Infantry. This Fort viii occupy
the only intervening land, "a portage Ofbut
SIX miles, between the chain of Western
Lakes, and the Mississippi river. The
position Is about central between Prairie
du Chen, on the Mississippi, and Green
Bay. and upon the extreme Northern verge
of the mining country To obtain a ces-
sion Of this district to the United States,
was among the objects to be embraced
in the late treaty at Green Bay. The pur-
chase was not effected, but permission was
obtained to occupy the mining district, I'M
til all the Indians interested In the sale can
be collected, at a Council which will con-
vene the ensuing Summer, probably at Ga
lena. when there seems little doubt the ar
.rangemcnt will take place. In the mean
time, the Indians propose to inform them
selves ofthe numbers Of the whites, by ac-
tual observation; for which purpose fifteen
of their principal men cametO Detroit, in
the CLAY on theirwa to Washington. They
propose visiting, before they return, the
sea ports of New England, and many Of
the large interior towns of tho country.
.rThis, . saws the Michigan Herald, will
doubtless have a powerful effect on those
savages, who have heretofore considered
themselves equal in number to the whites,
and more brave and warlike. They will
soon be convinced other error, in regard
to the numerical strength of the People
of the United States; and, Of course, less
willing to put their bravery to the trial"

There arrived also in the H. G. thirteen
Wnebago Indians, among whom are Prin-

Cass and Col. Menard, with the Indians.
that every thing was satisfactorily con-
Quoted. The Indians are perfectly friend
", and the Wincbagoes particularly, are
we'll disposed. The lead country remains
in our possession, until the Indians inter-
ested in it's title can be collected for its ces-
sion.

rally who held commissions under the

example stating as their reasons that the
extreme want of good management in the
naval concerns and the consequent irregu-

wages, and the building and equipping
vessels of war, rendered it impossible for
them ever to effect any thing to the advant-
