The Gazette trusts that 'sOld Pulaski will come out in her night at the next election. We should suppose the s'party" was already sick of seeing her sseome out in her might , Ii trusts, too, that s.she will show that she is not sold to the opposition. What does he mean by the opposition! Ifhe means oppo- sition to the Baltimore Convention--to Cau- GUS and Humbug-let him clay no lattering junction to his soul!n She herselfis the oppo- sition--and he insults her who supposes that she can be bought or sold.

Governor Fulton has published in the Ga zette, long address 10 ike public, which want of room eompels us to defer until next week. From eursory glance over 1t, NC perceive that 1t is simply an argumentatiYe production--and in the same spirit we hope 1t will be met and eolnbattod--as we believe 1t can be. We haye no remarks to make on 1t until we present 1t to the people.

We cannot but applaud our citizens for the good order and quiet with which the election was conducted in this township--and, so far as we have heard, in every other. We ven- ture to assert that in no place could 1t have been. conducted in more orderly manner. The only disturbance was the excessive and sometimes boisterous hilarity around the polls. The people were confident in their strength--and there was no crawling.

 Mir. Campbell was not molested in any manner by the numerous bands ot Indians through whose country f4e was conpelIeda pass. He remained about fifteen days al the Company post at the foot Of the Black Hills. Returning, he resolved 10 attemH Ithe aacigation of the Platte riVer-a means oftranSportation which has heretofore been. by the traders generally, deemed altogether impracticable. lie accordingly consirucs. ed batteau, loaded t with a large nun. Iber of packs of Buffalo robes, and, by the occasional employment of small boats made of skins, he was enabled 10 descend ! the river a distance of six hundred miles, in Esafety. The navigation of the Platte s made very difficult by its great width, is l shallowness, the absence of channel h any part of ii, and is quick-sand bottom.
 The traders and trappers in that country during the past winter, were generally sue. eessfaI. Mir. CAMPBELL understood from some of the Snake Indians, and little doubt Is entertained of is correctness, that a par. I Ity of Indians of an adjoining tribe bad murdered two of he tfaPPefs beiongiag to the New England expedition under Capt Ngeth. This is the only outrage known to have been committed during the year,in that country, upon Americans.
 The U. 5. Dragons under Col. BoBef, were at the Grand pawnee Village.

This tribe to the number of a thousand warriors, ant about 400 lodges, were four days traye from Col. DoDGE's encampnent. Mr CAMPBELL had an interview with them a their vitage-was hospiiably treated, aul informed by them of the position of tht Dragons, and of the expected visit.

OHIo.--It will be seen. from the letter of our Columbus correspondent, that Ohio
 IS Tn. downright earnest in maintaining her pretensions to the disputed territory. t was evident that this was the case, from
 he able and spirited letter of Governor Lu- cas 10 the Secretary of State, which we published few days since. The Govern Or would not have taken the stand he did, had he not been determined to sustain the rights of the State, and did he not also feel that his State would sustain him III the po- siton he has taken. Wesee that Mr. Har- nan has been very active in sustaining the government. We should have expected tbis from the language held by Mir. Hamer at the close of the last session. He seemed to feel deeply the situation in which the State vas about 10 be placed, and deter mined nof lo let her be injured (as far as he could proven ID CT sabsefye the ambltt- GUS views of Mir. Van Buren.
 But the object of the whole manauwa will be gained. Michigan will be gained to Van Buren. This has been the object of all the exenions made to drill Ohio into the yielding up of her claims. Michigan threatened what would be the consequence, in case the territory was not yielded to her and as Ohio would probably be lost at any rate, it was impossible to do otherwise than just as Michigan pleased. From being servant, Michigan felt that it had become master; and hence the contempt ana disregard exhibited by the authorities oi Michigan 10 the agreement entered into oy the Governor of Ohio, and the agents, Rush and Howard U. s.

Itis true We have sometimes been where ahere was a faro bank-ahd two or three times we have bet. Who will throw the first stone! One of the few times when we were there, We found tho editor of the Times, that Phpnix of young gentlemen, dressed ia cha- Yaeler--and personating won't be so cruel as to say what. The skill, however, with which he acted his part, induced a belief that he had before praetised on such stage. We remember also betting to the amount of a dollar, that night, which we lost-while our neighbor sat by in pious Aorror-and-Eep calculations.

 Ne are not alone in our opinions concern ing the movements in Vicksburg. The Nashville Banner has a long article on the suBiect-full of sound opinions-and clear and distinct views of what is right. Weex- tract the conclusion of it
 But what shall we say of the simultaneous scene thattook place at Yicksbufg! There was no prelence that these five men were connected with the supposed negFo insur-. reetioA. They were gamblers 1t IS true, and bad members of society but ne1erthe-. less as much entitled to the protection of the laws and 10 q residence in ViciSsburg (under the penalties of the law if they vio-# tated Ii as the proudest planter iTi tttse siisl. Gaming Is indctable n Mississippi If, these men gamed they could be indicted and given that punishment which the law prescribed. If the laws be not strong enough to suppress the vice they can be made stroueer---deaIh if necessarg-an the laws should be executed teiaterer they ore. But 1t Is an awful thing to overstsp this boundary, aud t IS as unjdstifiable to oYefstep 1t in the case of gamblers as any other class of the community. There $ no people more highminded and intelligent than are the MississipPians and We doubt not that there will be a great reaction of public opinion even fbere upon tlris subject, and that they will in all future time account this an unfortunate spot of blood and yio- lence upon their otherwise high and chlgal- rous national character.
