Public Sentiment IN Alabama. "A
public meeting of the citizens of Madi-
son county, Alabama, was held at
Huntsville on the Goth uItimo, at which
a committee was appointed to report a
preamble and resolutions expressive of
the sense of that community in rela
ton to the settlers on the public lands
ceded to the Government by the Creek
Indians. The committee consisted Of
Gov. Bib, the Hon. VIM. Smith,
Judge Adair, the Hon. c. C. Clay,
and other conference.-the meeting
assembled again, pursuant to adjourn
meRt, on the Cd instant, when the re-
port Of the committee was read and
concurred in. The committee state,
in the preamble, that they have consi-
dered the subject with that calmness
and impartiality which they deem me-
cessary to the attainment of truth; but
that a mere glance at the constitution
of the United States, the laws passed
prescribing the manner Of removing
intruders upon the public lands, and
the recent treaty with the Creek In
dams, is sufficient to satisfy any un-
prejudiced mind of the power of the
Executive to remove the intruders upon
the Indian lands, whilst good faith by
the terms of the treaty itself requires
the exercise of that power. They con-
clude by offering the following resolu-
tons, which were severally read and
adopted:-Baltimore Gaz.
Resolved, therefore, That it is the
opinion of this meeting, that the Presi-
dent has the power, under the constitu.
ton, and under the late treaty with
the Creek nation of Indians, to remove
all intruders from within the limits of
the coded territory in the manner pre-
scribed by the act Of the third of
March, 1907.
Resolved, That to obviate all incon.
venlence to our fellow citizens who
have settled within the coded territory
our members from this county, be re-
quested to urge the passage Of me-
mortal to the President, with all pos.
sible despatch, requesting him to in.
crease the number of selecting agents,
so that the selections may be made,
before the time fixed on for the reno
val of intruders shall have elapsed.
Resolved, That we highly approve
the mild and conciliatory course, adopt
ed by our fellow citizens within the
ceded territory, at their late meeting
at Taledega, that we recommend to
all the settlers similarly situated pa
tience, and forbearance, and a reliance
on the justice, wisdom and magnanimi-
ty OF the General Government.
Resolred, That we deprecate resist
ance, and a resort to arms on the par,
of the settlers, as one of the greatest
evils that could befal our common coun.
try.

Gallantry.-Some of the newspaper,
are discussing the question, whether ouno
cavaliers. in riding horseback in conn.,
ny with ladies, should take the ripbf =,
teft side of the lsdy's horse The human.
Gus editor of'h Exeter News Letter tbu.
settles the question n b part:
1--WE think, however, that the pen,,s.
man should ride neither on the light ~
lett, but directly before tie lady. Our
grand fathers aud grand mothers under.
stood this business much better than
their degenerate descendants. The good
old fashioned pillion was beauty! Put a
lady upon il with man before her and
she is safe. The horse may curyet and
caper AS he pleases there is no dancer
Of her being dismounted. She has some.
thing substantial 10 sustain her, and she
clinss TO II like the the ivy 10 the oak. But
it behoves her to see that she has had
a proper partner--one OF suhstance-ona
who if well mounted, is not easy shaken
off. A mere dandy would be worse than
nothing-a thing made of starch and cam.
brick-of powder and pomatum lis of no
more use TO the ladies than il is 10 tho
world. A boikin is worth a dozen OF
it If lady would enjoy ride. let her

panion's right or left hand; bur, seating
him before her, take her place on The pill.

INTELLECTUALLY, Geo. Nov. 10.

NAAh%D'b" ibLb, N'COs 1NON Ice
F. S. Key, Esq, of Washington
City, a Special Agent, appointed by
the United States Government, in re.
ference to the Affairs of the Creek In.
dians, passed through this place to-
wards the point of his destination, on
Saturday last.
We understand that the President
highly censures the conduct Of the
officers at Fort Mitchell, in contem-
ming the civil authority of Alabama,
and has ordered the cuIprits to be de.
llvered over for trial. We are fur
thermore informed, that the Agent will
Immediately locate the Indians within
prescribed limits, and that the territory
will be surveyed into townships, pre-.
paratory to its sale; and, in the mean
time, the Alabama settlers will be per-
mltted to remain in the country not in
the immediate possession of the In
dlans-thus, at once settling the whole
controversy between the United States
Government and Alabama, by the for.
iiiel WthuId"lhS, in 1910, the preten-
slonS hitherto maintained.
Alabama has thus, by the mere
show of the position which she declar-
ed hcrselfready to assume, indicated
without difficulty her character, and
the rights of her people; ard we con-
graduate her on the peaceful and pros
porous result, as well as the country,
on the evidence which this affair turn-
lshes, that the Government has not
yet reached the hopeless point of max.
ing up in obstinacy what may be want.
ing IN right, and by the virtual &C
acknowledgement thus forced from the
Federal Government, that State sove.
is still something more than a
name-Recorder.

The President of the United States

The President Of the United States
and his late Secretary Of the Treasury.
The exposition published in the Wash
ington Globe Of Tuesday, is as much
the act of the President himself as if it
bore his signature. He did not write
it, to be sure; but that all its statements
and all its temper are his, is proved by
the introduction of extracts from has
pirate papers, and reports of conuersa.

@The Circuit Court ofthe U. States

plication will be made to it, for an in.
junction in the proceeding against 1t.
Randolph. The Judges may discharge
him upon the ground ofgross irregular
ity and abuse Of the power given by the
act of Congress Of May 1s20-or by
his giving security for what may appear
actually due. 1t is said Mr.. Randolph
has discovered forgotten receipt oil
A. Kendall for $4,000. If this be so,
the deficit established by the Court OF
Enquiry, will be reducedto mere song
of a few hundred Dollars. The pro-
ceeding against him is harsh and un'

HAYTI.-The Haytian Govern.
ment and people are in considerable
CONSERVATION in consequence of the
pcremptory demand of the indemnity
due the French Government. A letter
from the Island TO gentleman in New
Orleans, is published in the Louisiana
Courier, in which it is stated that the
French Government Brig, lie Curias-
ser, had arrived with the ultimatum of
the King, threatening to send an ex-
petition against the Island, unless the
twenty millions due the French Gov
eminent was Immediately paid. Boyer
would find it extremely difficult if not
to raise such sum from
his black subjects, and there was a
good deal of alarm on the subject.
