 P.S.- Tuesday eveaiag, o'clock.-We have just heard from the Secretary and hasten to communicate the glad news of his conyalcscencc. Thank God he is not dead yet! Long live the Secretary!.
  THE PERJURED EDITOR AND THE
 CURTAINS.
 The Perjured Editor, in his last, gives q flat and positive denial to the statement in our paper of the 20th ut. relative to the Quapaw Indians-he pronounces il tissue of :. .Jatsehood and misrepresentation "-''aa entire fa6rieafioa, Sc.
 Had this man any claims upon public be- iief-had he a jot or titt:e of character left for truth CT veraeity, to sustain him--or lad the most distant idea that any wsuld give credence to his statement-we should have taken the trouble upon our selves 10 procure certificates, and show clearly and conelusiYely to tie public. that he has knowingly and wiIfully misrepre- sented facts, and published tissue of vile and INFAMOUS LIES in relation 10 this mat ter. But that is altogether unnecessary 1t would only be d waste of time, where there was nothing 10 be gained. A man wbo will not speak tic truth under oafh, the public will not believe when there is no oath binding upon him.
 We hold ourselves in readiness to prove, before court of justice, or a jury of the country, every thing contained in thc ar ticle to which exceptions have been taken, and at the same time, the iafamy and cor ruption of this man. That the Indians were drunk, and offered yiolenceto to num- Der of females, we can establish by the most incontestible eyidence--by some of the most worthy and respectable citizens of our yillage--and by men, too, Mr. Wood ruff, who have never been charged with the crime of perjury. We dare the Editor of the Gazettc 10 call for the proof-wo dare him to ask 1t in legal manner.
 The Editor protests that he has ss in- quired of some twenty persons on the suo- iect,o and could find no cne-no, not . solitary individual--who saw any thing inn proper ID the conduct of the Indials.-- Who were these ssseaty persons They may all be found Tn the isolated individual, WILLIAM SAvIN FULTON lie, we hesi- tate not to.say, gave the Swearing Editor --tilis body seruon--his orders, If he did not write the article himself Woodruff is the man the Secretary has employe ed to do his dirty work-he is the man counselled and called to defend and sustain him, when he has been guilty of a deriliction ofdnty. If the Secretary or his friends had been really anxious to have ascertained the facts, or the truth of the statement, why not have applied to us for our authority, before hazarding to pronounce it (. an en- tare Jabrication. It would have afford ed us pleasure to give tito them. But no- that would not have been doing things ac- cording to their rule. They must join is- sue with us and essay.to lie themselves out of it.
 II IS somewhat surprising, fin truth he made inquiry of any person, thatth Ed itor, in running about inquiring of the twenty persons he speaks of, relative to the conduct of the Indians, did not fall Tn with Mr. Clemens. Col. Caldwell, Mr. Shock, Mr. Washington Smith, the Rev, Mr- Wright, Mr. Crutchfeld, or num- per of others we could name. MT. Crutch- neid, we are told, happened to be present when the Editor was ranting about this very matter. Why did he not make in- qulry of him? We know not whether he aid so or not, but he did not, it was be- cause ne had heard, perhaps, that Mr. C. Anew too much about it for his use. We sook occasion, although perhaps Mr. c was not aware of it at the time, to make s.'; a witness, by calling one of the In. Ssaos to his door, ,fhcn he ,xas so. .dr..ui.
