THE MEETISo.-The great, moral, and popular ex-

perpetraed at Washington and JUST fed and defended

The republican simplicity Of the man-his past

cratic and liberal political opinions and principles,
wormly commend HIM to the people of Vermont.
The last election not only in this State, but
throue bout the western and middle States, clearly
developed The deep affection which the people feel
for the man who has rendered such signal service
to the country, ms has Gen. Harrison. 1t may be

From he yMobiie .Advertiscr.

General Jackson claimed the credit of the plan
of concentrating the Indian Tribes west Oh mo
Missssippi though Mr. Calhoun says it properly
belongs To him. The policy and propriety OF the
measure, howe yer, were never generally admitted,
and circumstances developing themselves,
which, there is reason fear, will demonstrate the
removal of the most disastrous consequences.
We do not know how many millions it has cost
the Government already TO remove the Indians west
Of the Mississippi, nor how many millions more it
will annually absorb to pay their annutes and keep
them in subordjnation in all time to come, but it
sum, and soon overbalance the price of the lands
they have left behind them. Should war break
out, and that war be managed after the bungling
manner of the Florida campaigns, there is pres
poet that The reperaes Of the Government aoiU be in
adequate to suppress sohat called an the bills Of

destruction that so TO the tCesern Settlements,
The people of the west are already calling for
standing amy of 25 900 strong and chain Of forth
fications all along the Western and South Western
borders, TO protect them from the Indians. Indeed,
the subject of our Indian relations is beginning to
attract the most intense anxiety, which is in no way
abated by the recollection of the Black Hawk war,
andthe miscarriage OF our arms in Florida. Inc
Indians themselves have taken courage from their
recent success, and are, besides, better prepared

were before, having arms in abundance, and

LATEST FROM MAINE. 7

BY the latest Portland papers it appears that we
have been too liberal to the Maine Tores-Fair-
fields majority is likely to be only about 2400 in
stead of 1000. From all that we learn TO the
contrary, it is not certain that Noyes, Wing, is not
elected 10 Congress from the Washington and Han
cock District, and that there is election in the
Cumberland District The Congressional Dele
CATION, after all the hurrah may yet be equally di-
vided. II is rendered more probable by the latest
mails
A second trial for Representatives in five or sis
towns where there was choice at the regular
election has resulted in the Of The Wings,
in towns where the Tory vote for Governor was
90, 80 and 40ubove that of the Wing This is
silly accounted for the Wings the residents
of the State, and constitute clear majority--the
Tories that sweled the vote of that party enor-
mously have been shipped for New York, vote
there, dispersed IN New Hampshire, and retired 10
their homes in the British dominions- hence de-
feat follows them upon the trials between the cit
izen Tories and the citizen wings.

THE VICTORY In ILLINOIS.

The success of Stuart is admitted by the Van Blu
Journals IN Illinois, Borh branches of the Leg
islatme have Wig majorites. We happy 10
see that the Congressional district Of Mr. Casey has
given Wing majority for Governor. This is de-
eded evidence that the course Of that gentleman
against the administration is approved by his con
stituents. The Vanites, by the official returns,
have elected Carlin, Governor, and one member of
Congress only. When II is considered that Illinois
has been engulfed in the morasses of Toryissa for
ten years past, by majorties ranging from 5, to
and Is thousand, the recent election exhibits Clio

MURRAY CONVENTIONS. The Convention ho-
den at Norwich in July last adjourned TO meet at
Montpelier on Friday the 12lh of October, at \
o'clock, p. M. and the friends of the militia are
earnestly invited to attend. The design Of The
Convention is to awaken public attention to the
Importance ofa thorough, complete and improved
organization orthe mlitia--to make il efficient and
honorable. Past efforts seem to demonstrate the
utility of all attempts by individual States to give
tho miliua that permanency and honorable charac-
ter which should be attached TO III and nothing
short Of uniform system established by Congress
for all the States appears adequate to remedy the
existing defects. And TO effect this, the several
States by Legislative resolves, should call upon
Congress to take the subject into Immediate and
sober consideration. We would insist upon pay
Tor lime spent in military duty and discipline from
the National Treasury. If services rendered the
Cuunry-and time spent in military duty is es-
teemed-are not worth paying for, then let such
services be discontinued. Raise the militia and
we shall thereby cut off the apparent or real ne
cessty of any considerable standing force. Some
means of defence from foes within aud foes with
out is deemed ndspensiblcj and it would be far
preferable in emergency, to depend upon force
composed OF American citizens, than upon regu-
lar soldiery, like our present, stationed AZ points
upon frontiers, made up, as it is, of four flhs
Of foreign naions destitute of moral character, md
love to our institutions-expelled, many of them,
from their native land, for crime.
