The President NTH his party having done
so much to insult the merchants and injure
the mechanics and laboring interest Of New
York, has thought fit by way of set off to
have recourse to uheedling, and in his reply
to Mr.. Marcy and the Committee, he says
that he does not believe that the laboring
classes seek to take a share in the Govern
ment for the purpose Of overturning 1t; thus
endeavoring 10 show by implication that such
charges are made by the opposition. No
such ISLANDERS ever emanated from respecta-
BILE Conservative or Wing print. The moral
and intelligent of the producing classes are
against the administration, and go with us
heart and hand for the overthrow Of the pre-
sent corrupt rulers. We, in common with
others, have charged, aye, and upon good
ground too, that whole hosts of ruthless dis
organizers, striking directly at all the time
honored institutions of civilized society, have
become identified with the party in power,
and have received fayors and honors at its
hands Witness the host Of infdels APP
Witness also the uphoIding for Congress by
the Globe Of such a man as ROBERT
DALE OWEN, with his works against the
blessed religion Of our Redee,ner, and that
most sacred institution Of marriage, every
where on record. Under such circumstances
is there not cause to fear that should Mr.. Van
Buren, again succeed, that all that is honora-
BILE and virtuous would be lost sight of, and an
archy and confusion prevail
In the reply of Governor Seward to the
Committee. refusing to unite with, or make
himself party to the disgusting pageantry
OF receiving political chief in aid of a po-
litical movement, we find the pure doctrines
of repubicanism set forth as they emanate
from the feelings and are exhibited in the ac-
tons of the Conservatives and Wings. In
the reply of Van Buren, to Marcy, we find
the laboring class treated with whining and
hypocritical adulation, while the heart is afar
OIL. Who, in this city, has ever seen an no.
nest man of the producing class treated
other than with naughty distance, and repel-.
ling coldness7 Yet this is the man when he
has an object to effect that can smile and
smile and in piano tone, beseech for the sup
port OF class that he respects less than he
does his coach horses. A wilder Locofoco
in speech. and ranker aristocrat in prac-
tice, does not exist than Martin Van Buren,,
of Kinderhook-his person, his dress, his
equipage, every thing about him evince the
fact-and can the honest and industrious
yeomen Of New York be gulled by his soft
speeches into the support of man, whose
aim is to force upon The country measure
that will blight their every interest, and cause
depreciation in property to the amount Of
countless millions? We ask the people of
New York to contras. his democratic speeches
with the circumstance of sending two Of his
sons over to foreign court, at different pc
RODS, 10 enter into all the unmeaning expense
necessarily attendant upon Royalty, and then
to draw their own differences between his re-
publican theory and practice.

The Albany Journal says, that Croswell.
Of the Argus, after receiving the hospitalties
of certain boats on the North river. has de-
nounced them as anti-republican boats, with
view to injuse their business. This conduct
is like that Of the chief Of the party he serves,
like master like printer,) who has turned upon
those very friends to whom he as much owes
his present election, as any Roman emperor
did to the licentious soldiery Of that corrupt
empire.

We believe il TO be universally conceded
,b,, the opposition has the power in its own
hands TO overthrow the present corrupt dy-
n,s,v if i, will only properly exert that power.
The Locoiocos, although they are conscious
# the fact, nevertheless pretend to derive
Great hopes from the want Of harmony which
,bev think prevails among the Wings, Con-
seryatives and others, and hence their presses
are busy in seeking to create general i'm
pression that the opposition cannot unite on
,Ov one candidate. Shallow device Of the
.o.my We shall show them, that after the
nomination is made by the Convention, that
The opposition will present one unbroken
from, in favor of that candidate, be he whom
he NAV. 1t is libel on the opposition to
suppose that personal feelings or preju-
Alice for this or that particular candidate
would operate as drawback, on their exer-
,;oos TO wrest the Government from the hands
of those whose wicked policy is fast bring
ing it to bankruptcy and ruin. The first
great leading effort of the opposition should
be to break down the present corrupt party
in power, and to that great object all its
energies and all its exertions should be di-
rected. Those persons who are moi ready to
forego every interest, every personal conside-
ration to attain that great end, have no feelings
in common with honest Wings or Conserva-
tves, and are enemies in disguise.
The opposition is made up of the honest,
the patriotic and intelligent Of all parties, and
from no source does it derive greater sup
port than from the high minded and virtuous
men that have dissented from the Jackson
and Van Buren, party, as witness the Rives,
Talmadges, the Whites, Tazewells, Floyds,
and the host Of others that might be named.
These men and all such have but one COM
mon object, one common aim, viz: to restore
the Government to its purity, and if there be
any want OF unanimity or concert Of action,
let the responsibility rest where il should.
We repeat again we have the power in our
own hands; let it be so used, as to secure
the grand object. .#.."

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM THE NORTH
ERIN INDIAN COUNTRY

ny letter from a gentleman residing at Fort
smelling, dated July 10TH TO house in this city, anc
rom which we are permitted TO take the following
extract we learn that most unhappy state Of affairs
now existing between the Sioux and Chippeway
lrpes OF Indians, and great slaughter had been made
Of Inc laurr. Mercy seems TO have formed no part
OF The savage character. One indiscrmnaie mas
sasre o. men, women and children, appear 10 be the
rule OF warfare II may eiu, idate The extract 10
state that large number Of the Chippeway tribe had
assembled al Fort Smelling TO receive their anpuilies
and the events which followed related below, oc-
CURED few days prior 10 the date OF the letterl-
The extract says:
The Sioux and Chippeways have had brush
at two different points on the st. Croix, and again
about thirty miles above the Falls Of ST. Anthony.
The ChppewayS, just before leaving The piliagers,
believe, had killed at Lake Calhoun Sioux brave,
one much liked and esteemed by his tribe, and took
his scalp; an hour Two after SUNRISE The news
having spread like wild-fre, the Sioux, about two
hundred strong, LEFT the Falls Isl. Anthony:) Hail.
in-ihe-day, Chippeway chief, had pushed on with
ms party, and was not oyeraken. The Sioux VINO
len The Falls came across party Of the Rum River
Band, and attacked them about sunrise the next
morning, and killed about one hundred tbiry-hree
men, women, and children This was above the
Falls. Big Thunder Sioux chief crossed the
country in pursuit Of the Strong Ground Band OF
ChippewayS, and overlook and fought them al 81.
Croix Big Thunder rid the Sioux moi 10 FIRE where
the white were, (MesSrs. Atkins and McLoud's
party,) and as the Chippeways hnddled round the
whites many OF them mus escaped. NotwithStand-
ing, the Sioux killed thiry-sx of the ChppeWay
prrty, and some women and children.
The country Is in great excitement, and will
continue so for some time. There will no doubt be
general engagement between the Sioux and Chip
peways before many months. Halein- the-day is
chief not to be trined WITH and the Sioux are con-
Solidang under under Bud Hail, first rate war
rior, who has been to Washington"
This Is the substance OF the extract referred TO,
and is an evidence Of the unhappy state OF affairs
existing between those tribes. The next news in
all probability will be account OF the slaughter OF
an equal or greater number Of the Sioux by some
band Of the Chippeways.

FROM HARRISBURG.

In another column will be found the
proposition Of the Wings for com pro-
mise of the unhappy difficulties in the
Government Of Pennsylvania, which
have SO seriously threatened the peace
and wellbeing of that Commonwealth.
Fair and reasonable as the proposition
seems to US to be, however, we learn
that it was unanimously rejected by the
Van Buren, branch OF the House Of Re.
representatives..
Later intelligence states that the Sen
ate had re>considered its decision, and
acknowledged the Van Buren, House,
by vote of IL to l6. So the storm is
now over; but not so, we fear, lis con-
sequences. The agency Of lawIess
mob, which has been freely invoked and
used on the occasion, and the apparent
triumph which has attended its efforts,
are circumstances, (view the merits oil
the controversy as we may, ) Of fearful
and alarming import to the stability and
security Of free institutions.

&We are gratified TO find tina: the
report which we published in our last
paper OF serious break having occurred
in the James River Canal turns out to
be unfounded. The Richmond Cu,npi-
Ter. OF a date since the report, mentions
that a number Of boats had come down,
and that the great manufacturing estab-
lishments. dependent on the canal for
water, were generally in operation. I,
seems that during the first week after
the water was let in, there were several
leaks and bre,kages. as is common
to new work, but none OF serious con-
sequence.

THE SUB-TREASURY SCHEME

Has b cen brought before the House
of Representatives by its committee of
Ways and Means under such title that,
like an old acquaintance with strange
hat upon his head, oae does not at first
recognise it. The title of the bill now
reported is "a bill more effectuaIIy to
prevent frauds in the collection, keep
ing, transfer, and disbursement OF the
public revenue. and TO punish public
'defaulters." 7 h. title would be more
suited TO our opinion of the system it
proposes Except the penal part ofi) if
it ran as follows: A bill to embarrass The
collection Of The public rerenue, and to f.
ciiitatc deprednfions upon the Treasury
The following section of the bill viii

spirit Of The whole of it,

that. from and after the 2lst day Of De-
cember next, if any officer charged With
the collection, safe keeping, transfer or
disbursement OF the public money, shall

act which authorizes. III certain cases,
