OFF AGAIN-Mr. Secretary Fields, who by his own
admissions is conpeled to reside at Yandaa seems to
find it convenient, just now to reside somewhere else,
and accordingly he is off, Perhaps the honorable Sec
rotary of State under stronger obligation, to reside
elsewhere than every of: indeed it would
be singular fact, and well worth remembering, if
this modest public servant supported at his six hundred
year from the earnings of the people, should so far
render himself amenabe to other authorities than the
laws OF his oon state to be compelled to orsake for
while, even the negh6orood of his Office, and the
scene of that interesting portion of his history which
gained him the soothing title of the Fifty Dollar Ora
tor; and be under the necessity of putting himself out
of the reach of constructive presence at vandal-
ia, to answer a loud call from another quarter.
But we took the pen only to inform the people, how
watchul their public Secretary u.s. just at this time ia
his attention to business and his devotion to their in
terest Our aim is accomplished, and we dismiss the
gentleman while out Of hearing. We shall have more
to say anon.

+ But the honorsof the Indians. is implicated
"The Indians and Capt Beaubien displayed
more than ordinary zeal for the cause of the
whites, and seemed anxious to signaIize them
selves 10 such manner as to do away the dis
trust and suspicious resting upon them, in conse.
quence of the proclamation referred to-" / sup
pose Capt Beaubien. or Mr. Owen had transla>
ted the offensive part of the proclamation into
the Pottawattamie language. But the "idle fears
of our heroic Governor" have, seems, put forth
Interpretations. Mr.. Owen says, 81 should
be wanting in duty to myself, to my country, and
to the innocent people thus implicated, were to
remain silent, and permit the misrepresentation
of Gov. Reynolds to go to the world uncontra-
dicted." This communication is dated Chicago
July 5, and appears in print in Springfield on
the same day. 'Tis SANDER whose breath rides
on the posting winds, and doth belle all corners
of the world" If Mr.. Owen had examined thai
charity that thinketh no evil, he would scarcely
have applied such terms of contempt to the Exc
cutive of this State, upon the bare expression oil
the above opinion, even had it been mistaken
one.
By the 5th of the rules and articles of war
any officer who shall use contemptous or disres
lpectful words against the Chief Magistrate Of
any Stale shall be casherd or otherwise punished
as Court Martial may direct; such being due
to an officer Of the army who withholds that res
pect which is due to official station, what will
a petty Indian Agent deserve at the hands oil the
President who transgresses in like manner.

which fell from Mr. p, or to give more
than hasty outline of the substance Of
his remarks. AS to the somerset itself it
does not in the least surprise us. 1t is
perfectly in character with tho individual
who has made it, and might have long a.
60 been predicted as necessary conse-
quence of his movements in this place in

rs necessary caution to our friends in

apostacy the slightest degree Of consc-
quence in its effect on the State, either
for good or for evil. 1t is fortunate for
our party, that the principles Of Mr.

We would say few words to our rea-
ders on the Importance Of the approach
ing election to the cause of the National
Republicans, to the Constitution and to
our country. Jackson is reelected, it is
true, let our vote be what It may. But
that is no reason why we should sit
tamely down, fold up our arms, and say
our votes can do no good. The vote Of
every National Republican will do good.
If it can do nothing else, il will she W a
wicked and corrupt administration tha,
Rhode-Island will support the Constitu.
tion and her SONS fearlessly march to the
polls, regardless Of the corrupting innu.
