cion Meetings." and adopting resolutions,
Iplainly indicative Of Revolution at no very dis

with muskcts. On the 18th June, public
meeting of the freeholders Of tho county of
Sanguenay, to the number of about 400, was
held to take into consideration the tyrannical
Resolutions proposed by Lord John Russell,
and to adopt means to protect themselves, at
which the following resolutions were passed:
Resolred, That we have always consid-
cred, and still consider, the House of As

tional organ of the wishes and will of the Ca
madam people; that body having never ceased
to be the energetic and interchangeable protector
~, - ctl~o

Resolced, That by sending the Royal Com.
mission to this Province, His Majesty's Min.
inasmuch as the adoption of that measure
casts doubt on the truth and justice of the re.
presentations of the House of Assembly.
RESOLVED, That this absence of all sym

The Indians on the Platte Country arc bu-

The Indians on the Platte Country are bu-
silly emigrating to the lands set apart for them
by the Government. The Pottomatomies, Sacs,
and loways will all be gone in short time.
There Is now no danger of difficulties with
them, to retard the settlement Of that rich and
beautiful section of our State.
The Platte CONTAINS contains alarge enough
scope of territory to form four or five counties,
OF the legal limits, which is not surpassed by
any portion Of the State, for the fertility of the
soil; quality of the timber, and the evenness
OF the face of the country. 1t is copiously sup
Piled with excellent spring water; and abounds
with good sites of water power, suitable for
mills, &c. The country is filling up with a
respectable and intelligent population, and in
short time will vie with the most popnlous.
and wealthy parts of the State.---[Far West.

DEAR BEssETr.-Since my last letter we have had
speck OF war upon the horizon that shuts in this nigh
~ city. The excitement and fear great, when
it first caught the eye Of the curious that serious appre
sons entertained OF immediate adiournrsent of
Congress. l would have given YOU the history of the
whole phenomenon long since, but my nerves were
ngtated could not write Even now look back with
horror at the thought OF the danger we peaceful folks
have escaped from.
But to my story. Some time last week wha, day I
forget Mr. Ghoson,a noisy and stormy son Of the South
made furious speech upon the subject of the public
printing In reply TO observation of MIR Wise upon
the corruption of the press, he took occasion to aude
10 the purchase Of certain press by the Bank Of The Uni
ted States for $4,000 looking unutterablc things n
Col Webb, who was on the floor Of the House at the
time with his party coiored straw hat in his hand Every
body who heard the remark nstnctively looked Col
webb He appeared, however, not to notice il.
A few days thereafter, correspondence ranspired
between the two gentlemen on the subject That cores
pondence is before you 50 far as can hear it Is cor
rect Whether Messrs. Curtis and Hoffman the
advisers in the affair cannot learn The Colonel how
ever escaped severe fageation IL rumor says true
IAear that Mr. Ghoson armed himself and thrust in his
brooches pocket cowhde, the day that the cores
pondence first appeared. He went to the hotel where
the Colonel soourncd but 10 he had carried himself of
to New York. Thus the Colonel saved cowskin
ming and Mr.. Ghoson spared the trouble OF being .
cowskinner The whole affair has delayed the action
ef Congress more than week, retarded the Express
mail in its Journey south full day, and scared Mr. Van
Buren, so thahe is creeping as fast he can out Of his
iocofoco sleeps clothing DO Tor Heavens sake, and
the sake Of he public good try to keep away from this
