"But there is one benefit which
the passing of this Resolution by
the Legislature of Virginia may
produce. They may awaken new
attention to this doctrine of in
strnetioR; doctrine which APP
pears to our plain understanding
TO be totally irreconcileablc TO the
first principles of Representative
Governments.
ITO US, indeed, who are neither
blinded nor enlightened by thco.
ries, but who strivo to take plain
common.sonso view ofthe subject,
il seems Us difficult to prove that
n msmhcr OF Legislature, of u
common council. held for the com
mon good, and bound TO do justice /,
and equal justice, to all parts,
ought, nevertheless, To be holden
in all things TO obey tho instruc-
tons of his Immediate constitu.
en- u, as il would DO TO prove that
an arbitrator or referee, chosen BY
one party to meet an arbitrator or
relic rec chosen by another, for the
purp ose OF settling fairly and just

should be governed, entirely and

SHIRE AND VERMONT,

Greeting.
THNIIE Subscribers hereby give notice that
n they have purchased OF Richard Pike
OF Wilton, in the County OF Fairfield, and
State Of Connecticut. the exclusive right Of
using and vending his Patent Block, or
Machine for coIoring ard cooling hats, in
and throughout the States OF New Hamp-
shire and Vermont, during the term Of said
Patent.
The Block OF Machine is an open CyIin-
der or framed hat block made Of wood or
metal The cylinder is first made Open
ard is simple cylinder frame. 1t can be
better used by covering it with thin cover
OF wood or metal perforated with numerous
holes in such manner that the air and the
cOIoring matter can pass freely through the
hat and block, either when the hat is
immersed or exposed to the air to be cooled.
The advantage OF this framed or open block
above the solid one is, that either with, or
without the perforated covering, the liquor
and air pass more rapidly and freely through
| the hat, SO that the same is cooled and COL
oTed more thoroug hsy and quicker, in a
better manner and with less expense than
| can be done on the solid blocks now used.
And the subscribers, from long expert
ence in the use OF said block or Machine,
do most@ confidently recommend it as great
anduseul Improvement They will -selI

Addison County Vermont, having in our

effects OF Doct, Tabel's Vegetable Pills, do,

THE INDIANS.
INDIAN NEWS.

We have a vast mass Of articles be-
fore US IN relation 10 the progress of
the Indian war-but the accounts are
so vague aud contradictory that it is
almost impossible to arrive at the truth
The only event IN Florida. We see
stated, that can be relied ON, Is an ac-
count OF an attack by the troops undsr
Major Heilman, upon body of $50
Indians near Micanopy, in which the
latter were defeated with the loss of
several warriors. Major II. had four
men wounded but none killed.
IL was reported a, Augusta on the
18th, that. or the ! i,h, body Of two
thousand Indians had crossed the Chat.
tahoochie, near Roanoke, on their way
To Florida. and had killed some white
men IN Stewart county.
The Mobile Chronicle, of the S,h,
states that the 81 IndIlns, taken priso-
ners of war and lodged in Jail a, Mont
gomery, had made their escape. The
jail Is described As a miserable old
building without any guard.
Several of the Georgia papers speak
very incredulously Of the reported In
dian massaores. and intimate pretty
broadly tina, the war is carried on rstk-
er against than by them. There was
quite a distressing account, setting
forth how the Gwinnett troop had
been attacked by large body of the
savages. and all killed except three
but 1t waI afterwards said, with more
appearance of truth, that only three
had been killed. A well-written letter.
dated at Dahlonega, Lumpkin county,
June II, says that the Cherokees are
indeed restless, but not more so than
they have been for years, and scouts
the idea Of their proceeding to hostili-
ties. The deputation from that nation,
now at Washington, has also denied
the existence of hostile feeling TO
the whites among the Cherokees.
Gen. Scott was indisposed at the
last accounts.
