dents Of party.
Resolred, further, That the 21 electors Of
the Senate, who have qualified for the dis
charge Of their duty, and who are still con-
tlnuiDg their sessions at Annapolis, from day

the inestimable blessings of peace, order and
government, are entitled to the confidence
and affections Of the people Of Maryland; and
that 1t Is the most earnest wish and request
Of this meeting, that the said electors will

Electors, in refusing to receive propositions
coming from individuals who would not as.

protested to act; and propositions, too, involv-
ing n degrading surrender Of their duty, and
asking nothing less than the commission of
deliberate perjury. in the surrender OF their

INDIAN PAYMENT.

As there appears to be much excitement
with the public in relation to the Indian pay
ment, and as many reports are circulating
through the country, which are false and I'M
founded, we deem it necessary TO lay before
our readers such facts came Immediately I'M
der our notice. On the morningof the 25th
Sept, the Agent addressed the citizens assem-
bed on the payment ground, and with other
remarks stated. that the chiefs in council had
appointed Messrs. Cyrus Taber and Geo. w.
Ewing commissioners to paw claims against
the nation. The claims that were presen-
ted last year and allowed, were to be paid
hrst-then all other claims were to be han
ded to the commissioners and BY them laid
before the chiefs, who were to decide what
claims should be paid, and as each claim was
presented, the individual claiming, was to be
called in the council house and adduce proofs
to substantiate his claim. With this under
standing the payment commenced and pro-
coded quietly until the last years claims were
paid. But Immediately after. and whilst the
agent was absent, it was observed that the
two commissioners and the interpreter had
laid aside some thirty -four thousand dollars as
part oftheir claims, and had taken out about
eighteen thousand dollars. when Gen. Grov err.
followed by several persons, stepped forward
and forbid any individual from touching the
. money until the claims should be investiga-
ted. There was now 4 general rush tow
ards the council house. and ii the scene tina,
ensued was not of the MOB order, it approach
ed nearer it. than any thing we have seen for
long Wholesome were for taking the mon
icy and distributing it among the Indians. sta
ting that they should pay their own debts
}, others wished to have new commissioners ap
:. pointed. as those appointed were too much
: in'eresfed-whlsto others were for appointing
}, commissioners 10 inyeStioa,e Tho claims ,,,,.F
t, instructions TO pay none but those that were
> proven 10 be just. After several addresses
to the citizens by Col. Pepper and others, j,
: was finally agreed that committee of five
/ persons should be appointed by the Acen,
and Lieut.. >rninton. whose duty it should be
to investigate the claims-the Agen, obiec
: ted to this, stating that he was not authorized
\ to appoint any committee tina, did not ac'
5 under the authority of the chiefs Of the ma
e ton. but consented to Jay the proposition be
! fore them. ard il they consented, he woule
