ERRoR.-We said last week, when speaking
OF the State-House bill, that Vandalia was to
remain the seat of government for the next sia
years. This is an error; it is eigAt years in-
stead OF six, as appears by comparing the Con
stitution with the laws Of 10 g. 80 providing
tor the location of the seat of government and
for other purposes. The objection, then, to a
discussion of the question at this early period
may be urged with still greater force. Legis,
latlhg eight years in advance, is taking time

NULLIFIcATIoN-The Nullifier's conven-
ton in South Carolina has finished its work and
adjourned. The ordinance was passed in the
shape it has been heretofore published, varying
only in single feature; it does not require
members of the Legislature to take an oath to
support it. Meantime the Legislature has as,
sembled, on whom devolves the duty of enact
ing laws to carry it into effect Governor
Hamllton's MESSAGES warlike and reasonable
He recommends the organization and equip
ment of twelve thousand volunteer militia. the
providing of arms and munitions, and other
things necessary TO put the State of South Car
olina on her defence
The President, as was Intlmated in his mes
sage of the 4th, has issued bis proclamation to
the people of the United States, showing the
light in which he views the doctrines and mea
sures of the leading nullifiers, and asserting
his determination to enforce the laws. and
maintain the integrity of the Union. 1t is a
superior document: itshows in great plainness
the palpabe absurdity of the doctrine Of null
LITIGATION, the irightful consequences to which
it leads, and appeals to the patriotism and good
sense of the people of South Carolina in terms
which we would gladly believe cannot, which
we londly hope wiH not be resisted.
The proclamation is inserted to-day, and ne
cessarily abridges our legislative journal, and
crowds out much other matter intended for this
paper.

GFThere was report in town yesterday,
which we we're unable to t,ace to its origin,
that the Company of rangers, under the com.
mand of Captain BOONE, had been attacked by
ia party of Cammanchees, SINE where on Red
river, and defeated. The account is. that
there were fourteen of the whites killed, and
the survivors forced to retreat. From the man.

IeiFeu, we apprenend thatlt Is at least well
founded, 1t not precisely accurate as to details.
A correspondent of the jacksonville Patriot.
who dates his epistles at v andalia, complains
that The seat OF government is so filled with
strangers, that for quarters, he finds himself
ANONYMOUSLY crammed into a "ktchen cor
ner,' and obliged to take fellow lodyer at
that. We should infer from the satisfaction
he seems to enjoy in his new home, and the
low vulgar sneers he attempts to play off upon
Our place, our townsmen and the people assem-
tied here, that it was not the first time he had
been IN "kitchen corner" nor that, being
there, he was much out of place. We claim
tor our citizens the credit Of possessing some
tact in discovering the gentleman or the jock
ey, and assigning each his proper place; and
we should not be much surprised, if in his next
letter, the correspondent of the Patriot should
had 1t necessary to complain that he had been
g 'thered up with so convenient a piece of
Kitchen furniture as a pair of tongs, and
brown, ''bag and baggage" out of DOORS
"The Correspondent" we h ope, will not think
US personal; we cannot well be so, for we as
sure him that we are wholly unacquainted with
the pecularitics of his physiognomy; and tho
we may meet him every day jostling about the
streets with the busting air and independence
'f man who has effected an Insurance. upou
his limos at a low rate, we cannot say 'sthou
art the man" to any one among the "vast
crowd Ii, however, we should undertake to
search him out, his own epistles furnish the
means of considerably circumscrbing the
range of inquiry. 'The Senate" he says, or
rather writes, ''reaHy looks very respectable;' >,
his we should take as proof sufficient, that he
is not among them. 'In the House of Represent
'a'ives'h he continues, Capt. jenkins is the sue
aessful candidate for Speaker, and has the mer-
IT of having served campaign gainst Black
Hawk" Wepresume, then, the Patriotic cor
respondent is not of that respectable majority
who elected Mr.. Jenkins. five rightly Judge,
hat gentleman would disdain the support Of
any one who could see in him no merit but that
of having served in an Indian campaign; so
that our epistolary scribber, if he be not driv-
en- out of the Assembly entirely, is pushed in
to rather close corners in one branch of it.
and perhaps his next letter will furnish the
means of tracing him to his own "kitchen cor-
ner." We will wait to see.
Seriously, however, we regret that the con
ductors of the Patriot, who aim to sustain char.
acter, and that, too, with much success, should
condescend to insert under the dignifed head of
editorial correspondence" mere string of
"libes and jokes" and sneers upon rising
town. The writer is governed neither by
truth, nor decency, and pens his letters, we
presume, for the same purpose Pindsr's razors
