the President has called him in defiance of the
Senate, goes upon the ground that the rc-nom-
nation of this individual TO the Senate is yet be-
fore that body, as not having bcon finally acted
upon. This is an assumption altogether crronc-
Gus. The nomination was ordered TO lie upon
the table of the nation, the mode of rejecting
it most respectful to the President: and he was
officially informed that such the intention OF

nate, all depending business dies with the adjourn.

 It is highly gratifying to know that this body of Einigrants are in good health and high spirits. The prospect of soon reach ing home, which is to be permanent, ap- pears to inspire these sons of the forest with animation more than sufficient to countervail the inclemeney of the season
 and the unavoidable delay eonsequen, thereon. Belonging 10 this party between 200 and 300are travelling by land from the Post,and will be here in two or three days Immediately on landing the Indians, the Isessaees' returned to the Pest of A-kan saa, after the remaining party of Indians amounting tn 400 or .I90, who gill proceed to the neighborhood of Fort Smith, thei. intended residence.
