FOURTH DISTRICT.

The friends of Harrison aud Granger in
this district appear to be unanimous in sus-
tanning the nomination OF the Hon. HEMAH
ALLEN, and the prospect is that lie will be
reelected by a handsome majority. Those
who have had ample opportunities to know
his views respecting secret societies assure
us that he is perfectly sound on that score.
We shall never forget the noble stand
taken by him in favor OF the supremacy of
the laws when the right of Tree discussion
was invaded by the mohocracy of Burning
ton. lie is man Of sound head and pure
heart, regarding the inviolability Of individ-
ua rights as the only security of public
liberty. Let such men be honored.

Gentemen-l have to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter, communicating to me
resolution adopted by the "National
AntmasunIc Convention" recently assem-
bled at Philadelphia. inslructing you to ask
me whether, if elected President of the
United States, | would appoint adhering
Masons to office, and have the honor TO
state, in reply, that | should not, in the
event alluded to, feel it TO be my duty to
inquire whether applicants for office were
either adhering Masons or opponents of tho
Masonic institution. Whilst the fact of any
such applicant being an adhering Mason
would certainly not he regarded by me rs
constituting ground of preference, could
rot, mt the same time, look upon either cir
cunlstance as creating disqualification for
office, if the applicant should prove to be,
in all other respects, well entitled thereto.

Masonry an evil, both moral and POLITICAL
Neither Mr. Writ nor General Harrison
would use the official power of President
Of the United States TO aba;e the evil but
Gen. Harrison in the first place throws the
influence of his opinion against masonry.
In the next place he boldly declares it to
he the right and the duty of the people to
correct the evil by the elective franchise
and by state legislation. Daniel Webster
takes the same ground. This is the true
ground. But on the vital point the Dutch
man plays non-conmi,Ial, as usual.

Gen. Joseph Vance, the Harrison candidate fer Go- vernon, IS elected by majority moi leas than SEVEN, and probably not more than NINE THOUSAND votes. Judge Baldwin. with very few exceptions re- ceyed the whole strength of lis party, and in large ma5o 5ofy Of the counties Is ahead of the Van Buren candidates for Congress and the Legislature.
 Eleven Harrison members of Congress are elected namely-Patrick G. Goode, Thomas Corwn, Samson Mason, Joseph Ridway, sen, Alexander Harper Jas Alexander, ir., Elisha Nhittlesey, John " Allen, A. ". Loonls, Wm. K. Bond, and Calvary Morris or Nahum Ward. Both the latter are Harrison men, and t IS not certainly ascerained which Is elected There was no Van Buren candidate ill the District. Elf Wards election seems most probable, as he received the Van Buren strength n every county, and large portion of the Wings in Washington and Monroe.
 Eight Van Buren members are believed io be elec- ted, name y-Alexander Duncan, Thomas l.. uamer, John Chaney, Daniel kigore, D. r. I,eadbetier, Mat ihias shePlar, Nm. H. Hunter, and Taylor r ebster, The two latter arc disputed by sonie-but have no doubt ot their having succeeded.
 On joint ballo the Van Buren party will have ma jority in the Legisaiufe varying from four 10 six. This result is, however, yet ascerained 10 ce- taaaty but enough ls known 10 give the Van Dnren party majority of four n the Senate and no returns 10 be received change the fact.

 There now on this Island about i .ooo Indians, and about 800 hall bFeeds assembled for the oi completing their treaty of cession The treaty was made Tn Washington last Miater and hy the Ottawa and Chippewa nations cude 10 the United States all iha land tying between Lakes Huron afd Nichiaau north of Grand River on side, and Thunder Bay River on the other, and ali the lands lying north of Lakes Huron and Michigan, west o the straits of St. Marv and east of the Chocolate river on Lake Supurior.- The price paid Is $2,0e0,oo0.

 When arrived here about the 27tb ult thefe were about POGO Indians assembled They had free access to the traders stores, and of otng and drum kenness were exhibited. Such arrangements were however made, that since the lst i0s no liquor has been sold 10 the Indians and they are as orderly and we'll l-behaved as be required.

Some of the bands have already re- ceiVed their presents and money. and have returned home, and not an instance is known of drunken h. dian.
 This is an unparalleled state ofthngs. Il las been universally the case, when the Indians assemble either to make or complete the treaty, receive their an- nuites, that they indulge very freely a the use e daof and violence and bloodshed frequently ensue. This has heretofore been supposed to be unavoidable But the contrary experiment has now been tried and has succeeded to admiration It Is mainly owing in this instance, 10 the Agent, RIr.
