PUBuUS-No. 3.


 PUBLIUS.-No. 3. We give to-day, the 3i and last No, of "Pu5tiNs.' Tfis writer has certainly handled tie subject for which he took up his pen, with great talent and ability; and it must be conceded on all hands, that lie has treated it with candor and ,fairness which seldom mark political discussions or the essays of political writers No man who is not warped by party, can read the three Nos. of "Pu6tiuS,o without rising from their perusal under the thorough con viction, that the exchange with Mir. Crit tenden, "under the circumstances, :" was not only the best, but the most adgaqtage- oas and judicious disposition that could have been made of the Ten Sections. l. IheQuapaaes.-Three or four stragelers, Ebelonging to this tribe, have been lying Habout our town, drunk, for five or six HdaYs past, to tue great annoyance of many Eof our citizens. In one of their drunken frolicks, they visited several houses (the tmale part of the family being absent), and ldrew their knives upon and threatened vi Iolence 10 the female inmates.# We should flike to know what Acting Governor Full ton is about, that ire cannot, as he IS i'll duty bound, look to this matter, and ap- ply the corrective. Things have come to high pass, indeed, that the females of our town are to be insulted and threatened l by these drunken vagabond sayages, under the very nose as it were of the Goueraor and Superintendent of Indian .4Baigs. If Gogeraor Fulton would pay half the atten- ton to correct and rigid discharge of his duties as public officer, that he does to 1 the 5hterests and advaneemeat of the petty and desperate faction to which he belongs, Indians would rarely be suffered to offer violence and insult to helpless females, with inlpuaity.

 "About twenty days since, ttoentg.fue Shawnee Indians fought three hundred uad l lGfy Commanche Indians, on Red river, near the Gross Timbers.

 On Saturday next, {June 16,) the Shaw nees and Choctaws are to hold Council for the purpose of raising large party to make war upon the Pawnees andComman- ches. 1t is understood, that the Chero- kees, Kickapoos, Greeks, Soc. will all join against theu,'
