The constan, application and competition for

aside tho torpor and ~lethargy Of the last halt centh

THE NIRGisIA CoNsERyATtyLs.-l Ia treating Oh
The late elections, the Administration press, WIN
Characteristic disineenuousne s., omit to notice a
very important difference between the Conserva-
tiyes elected last year and those elected lbs year.
The former were, without an exception, suPporIeis
ofthe Administration ut the time ofelection, though
opposed . the sub. Treasury and pledged to vote
Tor Mr.. Rves. The latter were elected under very
different circumstances They were denounced and
as,ailed with the utmost bitterness and violence by
the whole Administrator press, from the great
Globe down to the dirtisst 8 by 10. They were
represented as more odious than the Wings, as n
postates and tfailors, and all the thunder OF popu-
lar Indignation was invoked upon their devoted
heads. In q word, the opposition OF the Admins
,rstion 10 them was moie vehement than against
the Whigs--andi it was bad enough, in all conscience
agains, these. They stood their ground, however,
and, by aid Of The Wig vote in their respective
counties, triumphed most sisnally over their fran.
tic and malig nant enemies.
IL they are not Wings, they are, SO far as the
Administration is concerned, as good as Wings
They were elected by its opponents, and they viii
be true to them, as they should be.-Rich. Bhig.

GAREY's FERRY. July 8.
The object for which Gen. Mecomb's Treaty was
made seems to be accomplished. The Indians have
been in large numbers to Fort Mellon and Fort
King, and all report tieir entire willingness and
determination to 90 within the designated bounda-
ries, and there remain. Every means will be tried
to secure them the peaceful possession of The alIot-
ted Territory. and il nothing uncommon takes place,
the wise ones say that the great everlasting flori-
da war is at length closed. The people OF the Uni
ted States, though, seem to place but title conf
denoe in the report. They've heard that the Flor
ida war i. al length concluded" so often, tina. they
have become quite incredulous; still, say all that
can with perfect safety be said, nous rerrons."-

last we think more unlikely than any other part Of

probability. Santa Ana must have a constitutional
dread Of again undertaking the conquest OF Texas
whilst the memory of his former sad defeat is so
flesh in his mind. We give the Tumor, however,
as one interesting 10 many of our readers. and may
add that the proposed invasion, it Is said, Is to be
commenced in SentPuher.
