Tallmadges bill to abolish imprisonment lor deb in

INDIAN WAR IN FLoR,DA-J

INDIAN WAR IN FLoRIDA-Wbep
the President of the u. S. stated in his
last message that the removal of the Sem.
inoles from Florida must be accomnlish-
ed-that it was an object that could not be
abandoned" we little thought that treat
y would so soon be adopted with them on
the part of the government, every article
OF which favors their permanent settle
ment In the southern portion of that terri
tory' But so il Is, and we rejoice in it,
" hatever may have induced the govern
ment to this step, we hope these poor In
o q VIII now have peace and protection.
surely three years war is enough 10
satisfy the blood thirsty, and land-coveting
whites. They have been beaten. and if
lney now protect those they have so long
attempted to destroy, it NAV be sumo re-
Enumeration Tor their past cruelties. We
nope this Will be more than a paper treaty.
The people OF Florida, il seems, manifest
disposition TO resist The ratification of
the treaty. They have resolved "that
Florida is the last place within the limits
of the U. S. wherein the Inpians should
be permitted to remain manly because
all runaway slaves will find protection
among them, and because they would be
SO near the emancipated slaves of the w.
|. as to learn something Of their condition.
1t Is well to have the reasons distinctly
avowed. And these are doubtless the
reasons why the war has already been
pushed so long, costing the nation thirty
millions of dollars and many hundred
lives. We hope the Executive of this
nation will not incur the great disgrace
IN the view of the civilized world, and the
dlspleasure of God he must incur by
yielding TO the people of Florida for such
reasons. The prosecuted Indians need
help. May the Lord dispose his heart 10
grant 1t to them now.-OberLin EUans.

THE PRESIDENCY.

The locofocos are much mistaken, if they sup
pose that the fact Of there being difference OF OPT
MON amongst the Wings as the most eligible can
diddte for the Presidency. will tend 10 distract and
divide the Wing party. True, the Wings differ
upon this point, but they united upon another Of
lar greater moment that their attachment TO men
should always give way to their devotion princi
pies. Neither OF the distinguished men whose names
have been brought forward for the Presidency,
would hesitate one moment 10 lay his claims upon
the altar Of his country's good and the man who
shall be decided upon as the most eligible will be the
raying point, around which the others will gather
with their friends, their influence, and their exer-
tons.
The man who shall receive the nomination of the
Harrisburg Convention will receive the united vote
OF the Wing party. Who that man shall be, must
be left to the WISDOM the harmony, and the mutual
concession of the Convention Our own choice, our
readers well know. The choice OF the Wings Of
this State has been well declared That Henry Clay
would receive the largest vote given in this State,
for many years, no one, conversant with politics.
can for moment doubt, but if such be not the case
in other States, the Wings of Rhode Island are pre-
pared TO support with equal activity, and with equal
zeal, any other good man whom the majority shall
decide upon
Several circumstances have led us to the belief
that il is the design OF this distinguished man,
distant day. to withdraw his name as candidate for
that Office for which his abilities, his patriotism and
his services entitled him more than any other man
but this much know, not less from his character
and his reputation than from his own declaration
that his name, which has ever been tower Of
strength 10 the Wings, shall never be made cause
for division. Generous magnanimous, noble,-he
will never allow his friends to leopard the great
cause, by their attachment to himself.
In the event of the withdrawal ofour favorite
ddate the indications are strong that public opinion
would settle upon. Gen. Winfield Scott, of Virginia,
a man who has long possessed the confidence Of all
parties and whose services in the field as we'll as in
the late events which, al one time, threatened so
much danger, entte him 10 any expression OF pub
lie gratitude.
Among the most prominent candidates Tor the
Vice Presidency, the name Of Nathaniel P. Tall
madge, of New York, stands conspicuous A ticket
with these names would undoubtedly be one Of great
strength, and would fully unite the Wing party
Be these events as they may, the Wings are will
ling TO leave the whole matter in the hands of the
Harrisburg Convention. The decision of that Con-
vention will be received by the whole Wing party
the result of cheerful and judcious comparison
Of the claims and the prospects Of the several
didatcs

HOW is THIS The Hon N. p. TALLMApcE,
in attendance upon the Toga Court Of Common Pleas,
last week, invited to address Wing Convention
then meeting at Oswego. The Senator listened
The editor Of the Oswego Advertiser says that, " no
sketch do justice TO his speech. It was tho pro-
duction Of great mind, deeply imbued with the pn
cples of Constitution, and anxious 10 avert the
calamities which he clearly showed must result from
the measures Of MIR. Van Buren," But we ask par
ticular attention to the following exposition:
"Tn his speech on Wednesday night, Mr.. Tallmadgc
stated the fact that previous to the extra session Of
Congress in Sept 1897, Gov. Marcy called him. at
his residence in Poughkeepsie, and urged him TO OPP
pose the Sub Treasury schcne--ihat in so doing he
would be sustained by the party in the State. The
Governor remarked that he supposed he would he urged
endorse the scheme in his message, but, he added
with emphasis, he ioouid not do a. Mr.. Tallmadge
also said that he had his possession letters from
many Of the prominent men of the party which sup
ported Mr. Van Buren,, advising the same course that
Gov. Marcy had done and that in pursuance Of their
advice. and his honest convictions he did oppose
the BILL and now these very men denounce HIM for II.
So much for Locofoco consistency
Here il direct confederation, from responsible
source, OF the fact which have often statedthat
Gov Marcy among the opponents Of the Sub-Trea-
sury scheme. Indeed none Of citizens were more
openly hostile to that scheme than Gov. Marcy, Mr..
Corning, DR.. Wendall, and other leading Van Buren,
men who no,c 60 for the Destructves." We saw
eight Van Buren, members Of Congress, on their way
10 attend the Extraordinary Session, who openly de-
nounced tho Globe and openly regulated the De-
structive" doctrines Of the administration And yet
all but the Hon John c. Clark, Of those eight Repre-
sentatives Of the people, moulded over to the
views Of the Executive! And Gov Marcy, who urged
Messrs Talmadge and Clark to take the ground they
occupy, and who approved Of their their re-
turn only stulti6ed himself but is among those who
denounce these fearless and faithful champions Of the
interests Of the people and the welfare ofthe Republic,
as "Traiiors.n

We extract from the Jefersonian Republican the
Volunteer Toasts given at the Louisa Dinner They
are pretty strong signs Of the times.
Citizen Richie manifests much dissatisfaction with
the dinner with every thing said and with every body
who said it, But lie appears to be particularly discom-
posed by the following toas, Of MIR. Lipscomb, the
delegate elect from Louisa:

differ with Mr. r. in politics, believe him to be
the most perfect, high-minded and honorable gen.
tleman, old Tom Richie TO the contrary notwitn-

On the strength Of this, the editor INDUCES sundry
hard hits at Mr.. L., and imputes the compliment to the
score of 'sproate griefs." whereof we know nothing
and care nothing 1t is evident, however, from the
fu,terlng, that the pigeon has been wounded.
