experience in the premises, then you can have
some faint conception OF the scene which ensu-
ed in this village upon the publication Of the
last number of the Phoenix. Never did wasps
manifest such unequivocal signs of Indignation
and fury at the ruthless invasion of their domi-
cil, as did the Humsbugs Of this place, great
and small, at our rash and indiscreet attempt to
disturb them in their quiet and industrious pur-
suit of political ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Such buzz

The Hon. JAMES ELLIOT is nominated by
the Wings as candidate 10 represent the towp
oil Newfane in the next state legislature; and
as there Is undoubtedly a wing majority in the
town, it will be unaccountable if man possess-
ing the qualifications and character of Mr. Elliot
should not be elected. There must be shame
ful neglect Of duty on the part of the friends of
the Liberties and welfare Of the country, if such
should be the case
The destructive consequence of the corrupt
and miserable policy of the administration, is
sufficient TO convince every true republican of
the importance of being unifedly active in sup
port of such men for legislators as are opposed
to the measures, which produce the ruinous
effects now experienced in onr own beloved
county, Communicated.

BRUNERsBURG.-There is perhaps no
place on the Maumee river between the
foot of the rapids and Fort Wayne,
which has grown up with such astonish-
ing rapidity. possesses greater local ad-
vantages, or promises more favorably
for the future, than this new and delight
ful village. 1t is situated on the east
bank of Tiffin river, within mile of its
junction with the Maumce, on a COM
manding elevation. which overlooks a
beautiful portion of the Maumee Valley.
Directly opposite the mouth Of the Tiff
fin river, the Wabash and Erie canal
locks into the Maumee, and the dam
which is thrown across the Maumee be-
low, sets back the water, so as to make
it navigable for canal boats to Burners
burg. A state road is to be built from
this place to st. Josephs, Michigan, and
a charter for rail road from Hicksville
to terminate here has been obtained,
the stock of which is taken, and the con-
struction of the road is to commence
early in the fall.
A bill authorizing a survey of the
navigable waters of Tiflin river from
its mouth to the State line, distance of
sixty miles, passed the Senate two years
in succession, but in consequence Of some
neglect, never passed the House. The
town was laid out two years since, con-
tains 600 inhabitants, 6 stores, 3 hotels,
3 mills, and extensive water privileges
which may be improved to an indefinite
extent. Our fellow citizens, the Messrs.
Sargent, have erected at this place a
large grist mill, now in successful oper-
alton. For some time past we under
stand there has been some contention
between this place and Defiance, as to
the removal Of the county seat of Will
liams county, from the latter to the for
mer place, but as yet nothing has occur
red promising such result. The ad-
vantages which this town possesses, are
equal in importance to those af-
forded by any place between it and
Fort Wayne on one side, and the foot of
the rapids on the other, on account of
its central situation, extensive water pri-
vileges, contiguity to the Wabash and
Erie canal, fertile country around, and
he number of improvements in contem.
plation which will intersect each other
ii this point, from all of which consider
atoms, it may be reasonably Inferred
hat the day is not far distant when here
hall spring up a second Rochester.
We predict for it such destiny, and
most cordially recommend it to the fa-
,orabIe notice of travellers and emf
grants, in search of a western location.

NOTICE

NOTICE
| Ms hereby given, that arrangements are now
III nearly completed for the removal of the
Ottawa Indians of the Maumee Valley, to
their intended residence, west of the Missis-
sippi. 1t is now confidently anticipated that
they will depart on their journey in the course
of few dyys. These Indians are unfortu-
nately considerably indebted to individuals in
this section Of the country, and it is their
anxious wish, as il is that of all who are in
any way connected with the business of their
removal, that all who may have any just out
standing claims or demands against any OF
the Nation nop about 10 emigrate, will take
the earliest measures for their adjustment
They will please present their accounts, prop
erly proven, to the undersigned, who will, at
the request Of the Indians, enter into an ar
rangement for the yment of the same by
instruments Of one, two and three years, il
paid out of their annuity, and if paid out of
certain funds due the Indians by treaty, the
payments may perhaps be paid in bulk, and at
much earlier date.
1t is most fondly hoped that all those who
may feel Interested in the future welfare and
happiness of this miserable race of beings
all who regard their own well being, and have
poor unfortunate Indian, reduced to extreme
degradation and want, as are the fallen Otta-
was of the Maunee, will lend their counsel,
aid and influence, in ia, or of their speedy re-
moval to better home, and more promising
land.
1t is with deep modification and regret,
that the undersigned has to state from recent
information received, that some of the emf
grating Indians have been threatened with
detention By soiae of their creditors Can it
be true that such intimations have been made
What Phiianthropic, feeling heart, can in
dulge such feelings towards so poor, degen-
crate race OF Savage wanderers, as the
suffering Ottawas. They have now no coun-
try or home here may the removing agent
ask, in the name of humanity. in the name of
Justice, in the sacred name of mercy, that if
any are secretly working to discourage the
emigration of these unfortunate creatures,
they would pause an6 consider the mproprie-
t. Of thc,r course.
Tho Undersigned seriously feels the high
responsibility resting upon him as an agent of
the government. He wishes to cast no impu-
tations, TO make no interences of unlawful in
terferance, and will continue as he has done,
to practice moderation and forbearance in the
of his official dutiesa With this
view, he hopes all the good citizens of the
Maumcc will accord, in giving complete sue
cess to his present arduous undertaking.
In conclusion, it is requested thatthose who
have been in the habit Of selling liquor to the
Indians, do so no more, MS it will be impossi-
BILE to remove the d$sipated if it is continued,
and they must to their own ruin, and to the
of the good citizens, remain.
