TO OUR PATRoNs-AGAIN.

Several months have passed since we laid be-
fore the Patrons Of the Gazette our notions upon
the p~ropriety Of being paid for cur work. We
have given time for the securing Of harvests and
the disposal Of crops, in the hope that our coun-
try friends in their flush season would thisk OF
the small amount due US, and at this late day
have examined the credits upon the subscription
book and found the singular fact, that not one
third of our subscribers have paid a cent on ac-
count Of their subscription during q period Of al
most three years that we have had control Of the
paper. Pressed as we are from various quarters
with debts contracted on account Of the printing
Office, we cannot longer consent that an estab-
Iislment possessing sufficient patronage to yield
a handsome income, should be made asink for
other funds.
We therefore earnestly request that those in
debted for subscription, advertising and job
work, will pay their bills, at or before the en-
suing November court, after which time we
shall make a vigorous effort to collect or close
every account within our reach.

Mr. CLAY AND MAJ WooLLEY.-With
much pleasure we copy the following ar
ticle.
To the Editor of The Baltimore Patriot;
Dear Sir-You will please state on the
authority of a mutual friend of MIR. Clay
and Major Wooley, that the statement
which has appeared that the latter gentle
man had been dismissed from the army for
cruelty to a soldier, is altogether untrue
The Major Woolley who had the unplea-
SAINT collision with MIR, Clay, nerer did be
long TO the u. 5. Army. You are further
authorized to state, that the unfortunate
difference has been settled on terms high
ly honorable TO both parties. and entirely
satisfactory as well as gratifying to their
mutual friends. Major Wooliey is a brave
and ingenious gentleman, and having SAID
and done that, in a moment of excitement,
which he deeply and sincerely regretted
in his cooler judgment /; promptly and I'M
asked, made the amende honorable by apo
logising. which apology being received by
Mr.. Clay, both gentlemen are now on the
best terms.
1t is hoped that those papers which have
| published the statement alluded to, viii
insert this as an act OF justice.

An extraordinary instance has occurred
in tho Cherokee Territory, Georgia, Of
government interference with the liberty
Of the press. Some years ago the Chero
kee Council established a newspaper for
the assertion Of Indian rights and TO en-
tighten the people under their govern
ment. Large subscriptions were made for
this paper here in the North, and an edi-
tor was appointed by the representatives
of the Indian nation-a native ofthe coun.
try educated 10 Connecticut, and familiar
both with English and Cherokee. After
a while, i'll health prevented the editor
from continuing bis vocation. The Coun-
Gil having recently made arrangements for
the resumption OF their national journal,
issued an order for the removal of the
press and tyres. What is the result; BY
a sort of juggle, it ia thrown into the Gus,
tody of the Georgia Guard. The princi.
pal chief of the Cherokees demonstrates &c
the Agent of the United States, residing il
his neighborhood. How is he answered
The agent plainly tells him, that the pa
per does not uphold the purposes Of the
government against the Cherokees, anC
that he has made arrangements TO see i
used IN such a way as may subserve tht
policy most offensive 10 the Indians, ant
smother their only vehicle for complaint "a
gaisst oppression. This is the substance
though not the form, Of the reply !; and i
this is not a new way of supporting the Ii
hcrty Of The press, why, let those whC
think it right establish a censorship, after
the pattern Of Charles X, ex king 0
~France-only taking duo precautions frs
not 10 expose themselves to his fate for 81
doing.-W. Y. Star.

The People Of the Territory Of Micbi

instant, agreeably 20 its provisions. 10 the
election of a Governor, Lieutenant Cover

tors TO Congress, who, with the RepreseD.
%tative, will, at the next session, present
the Constitution Of the new State, and ask
its admission into the Union, and their ad.
mission to their seats. Whether the ap
plication will be successful or not we can.
not undertake TO say. The usual mode
Of admitting a new member into the Con-
federacy is, first, by act Of Congress, 10

being presented and approved by Congress
the new State is admitted into the Union
on the same footing as the original States
Whatever may be the fate of the appIi-

we understand, no longer to recognize the
Territorial forms or authorities, with the
