your information. IA to this immediate from
iier, ! apprehend but little danger at present
from Indian hostility.
Ifthe Indians should break out in the north
west and Arkansas, 50 strong as to overrun
the country there, in that case we may have
something to fear for the whole Of the set
Elements west of the Mississippi. The dan
ger that has been apprehendcd in this quar-
ter grew out Of domestic difficulty in Tex
as, between the citizens OF that republic
resident Mexicuns and others Of their owl
people besides which, il was reported tha
a greut many Indians had joined, and were t.
join, the mal.contents.
The difficulty, however, I believe has beer
settled, and tranquility restored. For my
self, think the whole western frontier yer!
much exposed, for the want OF n sufiicIen
number of regular troops. At this post,
have only four companies OF my regimen
remaining with me-, and these four companies
are the only regular troops between Bato'
Rouge and Fort Towson, in the Chocta'
II nation.

MARyLAND.-If any one doubts that this

ffnud and violence, ample proof Is furnished
by the result Of the election in Bnltimore.-
In that city the Wing majority at the Guber-
material election, was only one hundred and
seventeen; many Of the aged and inhrm
having been prevented from voting by the
Loco Foco mob which surrounded and kept
possession Of the polls. In this wny many
Wing votes were lost; more than enough to
have saved the Governor. The municipal
election for the city Of Baltimore took place
week after. This being u purely local
election, and one which could hive no immc-
,liatc effect upon national politics, the Gov.

AUTHENTIC FROM THE WEST.

The following letter, from Col Many, com.
manding the post at Fort iesup, on the west.
ern frontier Of this State, furnishes authentic
information respecting the condition of TINT
portion Of the country. The letter is written
in reply TO one written to the colonel about a
month ngo, when various rumors were in cir
culation relative TO Disturbances with the
savages, in which we requested that gallant
officer to transmit us correct statement Of
what was going on. We are happy to find
that, so far as our own frontier is concerned,
all those rumors have proved to be ground
less. We hope, however, that the attention
Of the government will be directed to the
Indians in the west, so that the probability
Of injury from their hostility may be averted.

WHAT DO THEY WANT !"

\ A writer in the Albany Argus wishes to
know what the Wings want? We will en-.
deavor to cnlighien this genius Of obtuse
loco focoism, by giving him a few ideas OF
what we want.
We want the country purgcd OF mere
partisan President.
We want the principles OF pure republican,
ism to be fully carried out as laid down by
the founders of our country.
\ We want the currency Of the country lel'
to regulate itself without being destroyed by
an avaraciors President.
We want the laws OF Congress obeyed but
not destroyed.
We want employment for capital, and op
portnniics Of investing, where our business
transactions shall not be destroyed by an
archy and despoiism.
| We want n sound currency that we can
depend upon, and one that the President und
his harpies can have no power over.
| We want our business left to ourselves, and
no, mcddlcd with by any man or set OF men
or party.
We wart industry to be encouraged.
|. We want more patriotic Senators in Con-
gress, " no will do their duty iearessly.
We will now inform the Albany Argus Of
a few things which We do not want.
1 We do not want national debt.
I We do not want another Indian war.
4 We do not want the money Of the people
squandered upon presidential favorites.
\ We do not want the Army destroyed.
/ We do not want the Navy disgraccd, nor
the gallant officers blackguarded by such men
as Blair.
| We do not want extra duties charged on
articles free by tariff.
| We do not want TO be ruined in our bus-
ness.
We do not want the money of the people
TO be entirely under the control Of All ambit'
ious President.
| We do not want the President to spend
sixty millions year, when J. q. Adams did
not spend thirteen millions.
/ We do not want u villainous Sub-Treasury

questioned.
/ We do not want trade destroyed commerce

No PARTY MEN.-The celebrated Dean
Swift, in assage in one Of his essay s,
thus telicitou-y hits of the true character OF
Il 'no-party man."
"A Man OF NO PARTY. Whoever gives
himself this character, you may depend upon
it, is of q party but it is such party as he
is ashamed to own. For even while he says
he is Of no party, you may observe from the
whole drift Of hls discourse, that he is plainly
prcjudiced in favor Of one party, and that too,
his not declaring is that he thinks the party
not yet strong enough to protect him. The
justice Of the cause or the goodness Of the
intention seems to be wholly out of this gen.
llcInan's scheme. The only distinction he
goes by is TO be politically of no party, that
he may be occasionally Of either. Others
know 1t they carry on designs, which are
kept secret from them; and these indeed are
such insignificant tools of party that they
may properly enough be said to be Of no par
ty; they are machines purely passive, and,
without any will Of their own, obey the i'm.
pulse of the wheel that moves them. But YOU
shall never hear man of true principles say
he is an of no party; he declares he Is o
u party, If resolutcly to stand by and defend
the Constitution must be called being Of a
party. But the other party, it seems, must
be divided into two sorts those who are OF Il
party, and those who are of no party at ALL
With the gentlemen who apply this latteI
expression to themselves, | would beg leave
20 reason thus: either they are Of party, OF
they are not; if they arc, they prcvaricatt
grossly (not to use a more unnanncrly ex
pression) while they give on the contrary; i
they are not, they ought to be ashamed o
sut h an Infamous neutrality, and OF deser,in.

ESCAPE OF PRISONERS FROM
QUEBEC.

We have the somew what remarkable infur
mation this morning, from Quebec, that two
Of the prisoners in the fortress on Cape Da
nond, Mcssrs. Dodge md Theller, made
their escape on Tuesday last. Three others
rot out with them, but were retaken; their
names are Parker, Partridge and Culver-dll
concerned in the movements on the Michl-
gun frontier. To those who know the strength
of the fortress, it will seem almost impossi.
BILE that the prisoners could have made then
escape without assistance. We give the
accounts furnished by the Quebec and Mont
reul papers.
From the Quebec Mercury.
The city was this morning in state oI
great excitement, it having been discovered
that Thellcr, Dodge, and three others of the
rebel prisoners, confined on Cape Diamond
had made their escape. So fur as we have
asccrtained the particulars, they got out Of
the easement, by cutting one of the bars out
of the window by which means they got onl
into the small yard surrounded by pickets ~
feet high, by which the front OF the casemcn,
is enclosed.
They then got over the picketng, and four

THE AMERICAN BIBLE REPOsi.
TORY.


We have Just received the thirty second
number of this learned an d interesting quar-
terly, conducted by the Rev. DIR. Peters, oi
this city. The present editor has had IL III
charge during the last year, and has produced
two volumes, beautifully executed, OF rich
and varied instruction. The high reputation
which the ork had acquired in the hands ol
DR.. Robinson and Professor Edwards, Its
former editors, has been fully sustained. 1t
numbers umong its contributors many Of the
best writer's on Biblical and general literature
which our country affords, and is unexcolled
in the richness and permanent value OF its
articles. II has indeed become so identified
with American Biblical literature, that to
the Christian scholar it needs no commenda.
ton. Il contains some Of the best produc-
tons Of such men as Stuart, Robinson, Hitch
cock and others, whose names will not cease
to be revered by the learned and the good.
We are happy TO notice that under the
hand of the present editor this work is ossum'
ing a more practical character, and is better
adapted to the mass Of intelligent readers
than formerly. It is also generally free from
the controversial character which mars most
of our religious periodicals. In theology, il
claims to be Biblical, and suited, as far ns
may be, for circulation among all denomina
tons Of evangelical Christians and thougI
some of our readers may judge that the re
mark comes with an i'll grace from us, We
earnestly suggest that much Of the light
reading Of these prolific times might profitu-
| bly, give place TO the pcrusal of such work
is this, which deals in The great principles o
literature, morals and religion.
The writer's in the number now before u,
arc the Dew. Professors Woods and Stunr,
of Andover, w. w. Grecnough, Esq. o
Boston, Professor llckok, Of Western Re
serve College, Rev. DIR. Mayer, late professor

THE ELECTIONS.

HE ELECl lONS.
New JERsEY.-The New York Jour
mi of Commerce of Saturday contains
full returns for members of Congress
from every county in the State, all Of
them official as returned in the office of
the Secretary of State, except those Of
Middlescx. The highest vote on tho
Wing ticket is 90, $50, and the lowest
90 ,OO8. The highest vote on the Van
Buren, ticket is 81 ,974, and the lowest
1886. Consequently it will be seen
that the lowest Wing candidate is 31
votes above the highest Van Buren,
candidate, and of course, the entire
Wing ticket of six members Of Con-
gross elected.
PENysYLvANIA.--Thc returns from
the Congressional districts are COM
plete and show the election of 10 Wings
and l5 Van Burcn men. Compared
with the delegation elected two years
ago, there is, in the aggregate no
change each party having gained two
members and lost two. In the Gubcr-
natorial votes, there is majority Of
I9l8l for Porter.
-" In every particular (ssys the Jour
nal of Commcrcc) the Wings have held
their own in Pennsylvania, and in some
more than held their own, without
reckoning the two Senators and eight
Representatives which they have gained
in Philadelphia county through the
eagerncss Of the Van Burcn men to
secure the election of Mr.. Ingersoll." 4"
The Pennsylvania House Of Repre-
scntatives will consist of SO Wings and
43 Loco Focos. In the Senate tho
Wings will have decided majority.
