can the connection which | ever had
with the Corresponding Committee OF Inc
Whiss of Hamilton county (that which
suppose has bcen alluded tO) is that re-
oues,ed The committee, through its chair

oninious, and events in my past lie: ms

,aiped the information they sought. lie
was. also, authorized, in cases where lur-
,bar opinions were asked Tor, to state my
determination TO give no other pledges OF
what would or would not do, II should
be elected to the Presidency
Here is distinct admission by Gen. II.
himself of the main point which has been
CHARGED. Hes 81 requested the COM
mittee ,hrou oh its Chairman, Ma. .Gwynne,
,o Give The information sought for, IN some
of ibe numerous letters | received, in rela-
tiop 10 nv political opinions aud events ol
nv mas, liie." Very well; but how was
this TO be done? Hear the General nm
self: "This was 10 be done by sending 10
The writers the documents which contained
the information they sought" Nothing
was TO he said about his present. opinions
about any thing. But the "docunen'S"
showing what were his opinions IN long
mast wears, were TO he sent TO satisfy the
INQUIRIES of the people, ms 10 what ne now
thinks, in relation 10 passing scenes, anu
what he would now do if made President.
RIM 10 leave no doubt on that score. the
General proceeds TO say: He (Major
C,,rv,,e> was also authorized, i'll cases
where further opinions were asked ior, !"
static INV determination to give no other
pledges of what | would or would not DO,
If I should be elected to the Presidency,
The effect, then, ofthis evidence which
the friends of Harrison produce to exoner-
ate him from the imputation OF being I'D
the care of a committee, is 10 STOW that
he avows and takes upon himself The re.
sponsbili,y of the policy which that com
mi,tee announced. Instead OF saying the
committee acted without authority in stat
ing that he would make no lutther decla-
ration of principles for the public eye, be
saws that he "aathorsed" Them 10 do so!
This puts an end to all doubt. The
people now see standing before them cam
didate for the bighes, Office they can con-
fer, who boldly tells them he will answer
none of their questions as TO his OPINIONS
he will not Tell them what he will or will
not do if they elect him!
Will the people vote for a man who thus
treats their reasonable inquiries with con-
tempt! November's polls will tell.

FAITHFUL EXPOSITION.

We have endeavored to search out the
sum of "Whig" argument in favor of
Harrison. and find that "los cabin aud
hard cider" are the Alpha and Omega Of
their plaudits and praises. LOG cabin
and hard cider" is tho answer 10 every
thing Harrison has done, will do, or will
ever attempt to do. LOG cabin and hard
cider" being the fundamental principle of
The whiggery, it is very susceptible of ex-
tension in detail, whereby we obtain many
scions of The old stock. Of this class is
The following, which we take from the
Buffalo Re publican, and which is faith

FROM FIORIDA

By the schrs. Stephen & Francis, Capt.
Magee, and Empire, Capt. Snuhwick, ar
rived yesterday we.have received the Her
aid and Ne,cs, of The 18th inst. by pas
senger on board the former vessel, we
learn that intelligence had been received
at St. Augustine, that Col. Green, opera
ting in Middle Florida had come in con-
tact with party of Indians, and succeed
ed in killing three warriors and achite
nan, who was with them-also capturing
several prisoners.
We copy the following from The papers
received:--
The Indians who committed the ouira-
ges iu this ncghborhood fortnight ago,
and surrounded the dwellings at North
River, proceeded 10 the settlement at
Mandarin, and were Recommending about
there when their signs were discovered.--
A party of gentlemen Immediately started
in pursuit, aud came upon FIVE of The ras-
Gals. They took to a high grass pond,
and as the party were too small to surround
it, the grass was fired when the fellows cs-
capped under The smoke. Theirtracks were
numerous in and around the settlement
Nelcs.
INDIAN NEws.-Our excellent CORES
pondcn,s al Black Creek, have put us in
possession of intelligence from Fort King
to The 9Th inst, 9 A. NJ, which we give as
follows:
ION last Sunday week Col. Riley ran
down an Indian in the Pine Woods near
the Wi,hiacoorhec; day or two afier-
wards he surprised an Indian camp, con-
sisling off warriors 2 squaws, and chill
dren; they killed The 2 warriors and one
squaw, and took the rest prisoners. On
Tuesday night last one Of The Indians
made llis'escape, owing to The sentinel 60
ing to sleep. One of The guard saw him
running and fred nj him, which alarmed
the whole camp--lhe olher senlinels also
fired. Capt. Mason was shot dead, eth
er by the Indians, or accidentally by his
own men-il is supposed that the latter
wns the case. He was seen running after
The Indian, and it is impossible to ascertain
who killed him."
Can't. Mason, here mentioned, was a
yery respected iuhabilant of Duval Coun-
ry. and was a member of the House Of
REPRESENTATIVES in the last Council. He
has distinguished himselfin the late wars.
and shared largely in the confidence of The
public as useful citizen and an active
officer.
We learn further. tina, Col. Haruey was
10 have left Fort King for Fort Mellon, on
the 10Th.
Capt Bonneville had gone on scout of
20 days. and taken Indian Tom with him.
Tom was TO be sent out 10 bring in the In
dians, but doubts are expressed whether he
ever returns.
We sec from the above, tha, something
is doing in the interior. Keep up constant
scouts and success will follow. Success
ful Indian fighting is an employment of
unremit,ing activity, watchlulness and
peril.-Heruld.
