TO the United otateS. he states, tnat
10 the counties of Macon and Russell,
the Indians being much more numerous
than the whites, are in the daily habi,
of"committing the most Iawless depre-
dations on the property Of the settlers,
and within few weeks have robbed
several innocent travellers" The
civil authorities are unable to control
them, and the Governor calls for de-
tachment of United States troops to be
sent to Fort Mitchell.
The Governor also states, that un-
principled spectators are practising
the most Infamous frauds upon the H.
dians, who are some of them almost in
state of starvation. These injuries
he thinks have provoked them to the
acts of violence which have been per.

papers declared that Gen. Jackson
killed the Bank. Others say that the
people must elect Van Buren, President,
because HE Killed the Bank. And
others assert positively that Col, Ben

o. We take the following para

torial article headed "THE PROSPECT BE.
FORE U.s." in the National Intelligencer
of the 9th ult.
We have, in the preceding numbers
shewn our views of the present state of
the politics Of the country, and our con.
viction ofthe daty Of all AVHles, who
understand what is implied by that de.
signation, to oppose the nomination Of
the Baltimore Convention, because Of
the principles on which that nomin.
alton is based and supported. They are
bound to do SO, in our opinion, by their
affection to the institutions Of our
common country; by their attachment
g. loyalty to the principles, for the love
of which our ancestors fled fromoppres-
sion in the old world, and achieved a
glorious revolution in the new.
Thus far, our appeal has been d.
rected mainly to those who have acted
together under the denomination Of
WHIGs. But, we now demand, what
is there in the circumstances or effect
of this nomination to recommend it to
the disin,erested and patriotic men of
any party, except the party Of the
Spoilers
We have passed in hasty review the
leading principles which the Baltimore
nomination is intended to carry out
aud confirm. But there is one feature
Of that nomination, not yet adverted
to in the course Of these papers, which,
ofiiself, ifthe candidate and the pFin'
ciples of this nomination were other.
wise unexcep,ionable ought to excite
aud rouse mp against it all those to
whom every vestige of despotical 60
vernment is an object of aversion.--
We refer to the fact, that the candi'
date presented by the Convention
has, in effect been nominated by the
President himself as his successor to the
Office which he holds. Considering all
the circumstances of the case, no man
can for moment doubt, we think, that
the Baltimore nomination for the Presi.
dency was made under the direct in,
fuence of the Executive. The per-
sons by whom the Delegates to the
Convention were appointed, as well rs
number of the Delegates themselves,
were Office. holders, or confidential or
gans and instruments Of those who
hold the patronage Of the General
Government and some of the State
Governments. The pretence, that this
Convention represented public opinion,
is only fitted to excite derision. Pub
lie opinion Mr.. Edward Rucker,
concentrating within his single self all
the wisdom and all the will OF the Peo-
pie, of Tennessee, a sslf.electsd Dele
gate, without authority, and without
qualification, disposes Of the political
power ola million of People, 10 favor
of nomination to which, il is noio'
rious, at leas. four iifths Of the People
of that State are opposed: Is this an
expression of public sentiment? 10
