POSTSCRIPT.
Since The foregoing was in type, we have re-
ceiycd later news from the Creek frontier. The
Indians are said to be in arms, 5000 strong, conf
hitting widespread dcvastations in Alabama and
Georgia, and numbering dcicncelcss men, women
and children. 1t seems strange that the govern
ment should be again caught unprepared
Later and more distressing Intelligence has also
been received from Florida. The Indians were
proNling over he dcicncclcSs tcrritor and had
advanced to within 20 miles Of Tallahassee, Nhc
seat of governmcutO the destruction of which was
deemed probable, unless Gen. Scott should break
up his j" summer quarters" or unless the Govern
ors ofthc ncigl,boring States should Immediately
order a large mounted force into the field. Col
John G. Gamble Formerly of Richmond) had ta-
ken to the swamp with his negroes, and his cotton
house, &c. had been burnt by the Indians.

TTRGINTi ELECTIONS.

The Richmond Enquirer, of the 18th inst. has
put forth a labored and spcclous, but deceptive
statement, in relation to the result of the late cleo
tons III this State, which, however it may mislead
others, either at home or abroad, is not believed to
be accurate by him who has been At the trouble of
collaborating it. We proceed to specify some of
its gross errors, both ofiact and calculation.
The Enquirer clasSiiics the strength Of parties in
the next Legislature, thus y an Buren, IT, Wing
sc, and one doubtful. 1t arrives at this result, by
claiming Preston and Tyler, both of which, 10 say
the least, remain in doubt, and by failing TO emu
mcrate Mr.. Cooke, of Norfolk county, among the
wings, who, although, he be individually friendly to
the administration, viii next winter, as he did the
last, express the sentiments of his constituents, las
the Enquirer will surely not contend that he should
refuse to do) on all political questions that shall
come before the Legislature.
Sec, too, the jesnitry of the Enquirer. 1t says j:
Nj do we claim, at this time, the Delegate
from powlatan, which counts only t votes against
us-or Fairfax, ? votes only-or kean Of Frank
lin, who contests with only the casting vote Of the
Sheriff against him-or the Delegate from Fredcr-
lck, with only 4 majority against him-or he Re-
publican Delegate from Henry, who is said to be
confident OF his success"
1t is not true that" kcan of Franklin" co ,csts
At all. He found out, by scrutinizing the polls,
that contest would be a losing business, and he
consequently declined The undertaking. In the
other counties named, the returned candidates have
at least an equal chance with the contcstors, and
we hazard little il predicting thai, every one OF
them will retain their seats, by increased MAORI
ties. But did the the Enquirer forget, that there
was a de6a as well rs Il credit side to its account
by Broadus in Culpeper POWELL by Garlan in
Amll"rs, ; and Newman's by McClean in Mar
sllall-the highest majority OF either being II

a cunning advocate, it suppressed the truth, in or
der to give seeming strength to its party, in
stead Of performing the duty Of an impartial pub
lie journal, in laying The undisguised facts Of the

Now as to the popular rote. The Enquirer

The New Orleans True American of the 81
inst. states the Texian armed Scir. lnsinciblc had
been seized by the l.. s. Sloop Warren, and
the officers and crew TO the number Of 10 put in
strict confinement. The True American remark.
- it appears from that information we can gather,
that some friend OF the Mexicans in this city, ad-
dressed a communication TO Commodore Dallas,
stating that the lnvinc,ble had been guilty of an
act of piracy, in capturing the schooner Pocket,
sailing under American colors.
The Pocket, we understand, i, registered at our
Custom honse as an American vessel, bat she WIS
laden with provisions, &c. for Santa Anna, or for
the MrSicans, for which reason tie lnyinciblc
captured her.
We do 70 know ifilis be piracy OF not: but
We cannot conceive Of any thing more natural
than that the Texans should proven, provisions or
succor from arriving 10 that oxcerable monster
Santa Ana. Besides, the schooner Pocket, be
she American, or only sailing under American
colors, has figured pretty conspicuon,Iv against the
Texans. When captured, the correspondence of
certain merchants of this city was found on board
Of her which, if published, would not rebound
much Ia their credit.
AT all events, we hope the invincible will be
soon liberated, and yet do good service 10 the
cause of liberty"

MoB / THE accounts which
in Cillcl@1ltl, whereby the office of
|of. the 'Philanthropist,' an abolition
paper, was demolished and other
outrages committed, give melancho-
Nv evidence that lawless violence is
increasing in the land. If such acts
are countenanced in 4 country OF
laws, by such large numbers of peo-
pie called respectable, as appear to
have participated in the mobocratic
proceedings Of late, we shall soon
have no protection for our persons
or property but the strong arm OF
power-the instruments of destruc-
ton.
We cannot better express our own
views on this subject than by adopt
ing the following from the ohio
Argus:
WHERE WILL THESE THINGS END?-
We have indeed fallen upon evil times.
Every NAL brings to us some shock
ing detail of lawless violence and
outrage. The negro burnings of the
ISouth-tarring and feathering, as in
the case of poor Kitchell. are getting
to be things of every days occur
renee. And it has come to that, that
even travelling is unsafe. The peace
ful traveller. who would visit his
friends. or 60 quietly about his busi-
ness in different parts of the country,
must do it at the risk of life and limb.
We now particularly refer to an out
rage upon the Erie canal, and the
destruction of a canal boat, and abuse
of unofiending passengers, and even
females.
1t is time for us all to pause and
reflect what will be the end of these
things, if suffered to 90 on at this rate.
without restraint. That we live I'M
der government Of laws, is getting
to be a real mockery. No man. how
ever innocent his intentions.or blame
less his life. can feel that he is Safe
No man can express an Independent:
stand upon any subject, and know.
that he will not for SO doing, become
the victim of mob, whose views he
NAV chance to thwart. The press,
too, is in danger. The spirit of mis-
rule is aiming fatal blow at its in
dependence. and its conductors will
be awed into silence. or speak their
sentiments at the peril Of all that is
dear or valuable.
How long shall these things be- 1t
is frequently said that there is a re-
deeming spirit in the land. 1t would,
it seem to US. to be now more aprro-
pirate. to say there is disorganIzlng
spirit in the land. which. unless spec
Oily checked. will bring ruin and dis
grace upon the country. This dis
organizing propensity. this alarming
disregard OF law and good order. con-
tinues to increase rather than dimin-
ish. and the enquiry with which we
started. .where will these things end!'
is becoming a painfully interesting
one. We can safely answer. that I'M
