Out nelKhbor OF the Courier appears rainier eh1'
ious to kick up a fuss between this government
aud TINT of Texas. The late crossing Of the boun-
dairy line on our south western frontier, by Gen
Ru.k has given him great offence: and he take
occasion in his paper Of yesterday to quote para'
ora ph from the last report ofthe Secretary Ut War
in which Mr.. Poinsett, saysthnt the Indians with
in the territory of tho United States haze been
warned tina, they will not be permitted to take
part in any contest between Mexico and Texas oil
to rass into the territory of the latter with hostile
intent, &c.
| During the S minolc campaign Of 1917, thos'
Indians were holly pursued BY Gen. Jackson, ant
they hrd before him into Pensacola, from whence
tho Spanish authorities were un,ble TO drive them
Con. Jackson, that & cd like man, under pre,exs
that the Spanish government was unable to pro
tee, it's own territory invioac and neutinl, steP-
ped over the border and gave the Indians a druhb
ing and the Don's a lesson. Mr.. Van Buren,, not
withdrawing his infallihility has left the frontier
| between Texas and the United States exposed
| there is no adequate force there to cause the In
diane to behave themselves like decent fellows
and Gen Rusk like Gen. Jackson has thought il
better to fellow the incarnato devils the Gu
mnnchea and Cauohe over the iGe 10 give INC III
h,pping, than to allow his fellow citizens to be
ma sacred nd their plantations destroyed. Gen
Rusk only initiated the greatest best, and sureI,
i, ia hard usage rcve him for that very practice
which go greatly cndears Martin Van Buren, TO 'h'
hear, Of the Courier. Like the lttle Duschman h'
did bu, follow in the footsteps.

A message was received from the House Of Represen.
tatves, by Mr.. franklin, their clerk, announcing the
death OF the Honorable Joab Lawler, a member of that
House from the Stale Of Alabama, and that his funeral
would take place at - o'clock to. morrow from their Hall.
MIR King then rose and addressed the Senate as fol.
lows:
Mr.. President: Another of the members of this Con.
gress has passed from time to eternity. This u~nexpect.
ed event il well calculated to produce the most serious
reflections. "Be We also ready, should be pressed up.
on every heart. The Hon. Joab Lawler, u Representa-.
tive from the State Of Alabama, breuthed his last at his
boarding house, in this city, about 9 o'clock this morn
ing. His sickness was Of short duration; but a life de.
voted TO piety and virtue enabled him 10 look with calm
and christian resignation on the dread change that
awaited him.
MIR. Lawler was Of humble origin. He was destitute
of the advantages of liberal education but q vigorous
intellect, combined with sterling integrity, early recon.
mended him to the favorable notice Of his fellow citizens,
and they placed him in the Legislature of his State
For years he continued 10 discharge his duties in that
situation in a manner so creditable to himself, so salts
factory to those he represented, that they demanded his
services in a more exalted station. He yielded TO their
wishes, and twice has he been chosen to represent their
interests in the Congress of the is. MIR. President,
his mortal career has closed. His country has lost the
services Of one Of her most virtuous citizens; his bereaved
wife an aieclionate husband and his orphan children
the fostering care and protection OF an i%ndulgent father.
To that desolate hear,-stricken family, ! would say,
mourn not as one without hope" The husband-the
dieth, in the full hope of a blessed immortality. Keep,
then, before your eyes the purity and holiness Of his life;
live as he lived, and you may 60 to him-to you he can
never return.
Mr.. K. then submitted the following resolution, which
was unanimously adopted
Resolved, That the Senate will attend the funeral of
the Honorable Joab Lawler, deceased, which will take
place from the Hall Of the House of Representatives
and, as an additional mark of respect for the memory OF
J the deceased, the members Of that body will go into the

back = France than 10 usually exerted 70 Fecian -
many sailers whom the chance Of few dollars mors
per month on American vessels scduce from thear
duty And even thcsgh there were ether motives .
send them back to France the crime Of deserton did
net the less exist To deRy it, is to deny the evidence
| of facts.
The Alexander had sailed from Bordeaux with q
fixed destination, and il was net in the power of the
captain to change that destination. Marsaud had
much less the right of changing it when, either BY
accident or design he found himself in possession OF
the command. There was then an act Of deserion,
d<ssrtien with arms ondproperty the very day, when
instead of going Bordeaux, Marsaud sailed for the
coast of the United States. Though there may have
been assassination and barratry, it matters not
These two crimes do not exclude the third. The as
sassinarion was followed by deserton and desertion
by barratry. We defy refutaton Of this argument
But this is not ALL The Courier and Enquirer says,
that they cannot be considered deseres since they
were arrested on board of their vessel and forc
bly, detained in prison until the ship had sailed. We
have just established tho point that they desert
ers even on board of their vessel Let us prove now
that they were so up to the moment when the Alex
ander set out for France.
1t was upon the requistion of the Vice Consul Of
Newport that Marsaud and Raymond were detained
in prison. Mr.. Gouraud offered to them free the
condition that they would join the ship when about to
sail. Raymond would have consented, but he YIELD
ed to the advice Of Marssud and they both refused
Was not this fragrant instance Of desertion2
1t is, however, enough TO establish the right OF
France to demand the surrender of these two men,
and the obligation that the authorizes of this
country no, only to consent it, but to render all the
aid in their power TO that effect, according to the
terms of the treaty Of 1922
