ries they had experienced, surprised the fort
and put the garrison to death. The French,
however, sent a great force into the country,
and the whole nation was exterminated or
sold into slavery, except a few who joined
the Chckasaws and Choctaws. The ruins
of fort R0salie are still to be seen at Natchez.
DoN'T Crowd, GENTLEMEN One at time,
If you please MIR. Senator Ruggles has, as
our readers know, published letter intima-
ting bis determination to support the Peo-
pies cause and the peoples candidates. Mr..
Secretary Forsyth has issued card in which
he declares that union Of concert and aciion
are nat noao 10 be anticipated" among the parti-
zans of the Federal Government, and that
" according to the present state of things, no
trenL of the administration can hope for an elec
fiOn by the people :" Mr.. Postmaster General
Kendall has resigned his Office, and by way
of keeping up the shOO of attachment to Mr..
Van Buren's Pickering administration, is to
become an occasional contributor to the
Globe for the next six months. Madam Ru-
NOR adds that both Mr.. Paulding of the Ma
Wy and Mr.. Poinsett of the War Department,
are preparing to quit the sinking ship of
state. We look upon this general desertion
as rather discreditable. The mariner who
through carelessness or ignorance has driven
his vessel among the breakers, may at least
save himself from disgrace by sticking to
the ship till she goes to pieces. Our politi-
cal pilots, insensible to all but fear, are pre-
pairing to abandon their posts ere their craft
has struck, and though the roar of the surf is
still distant.-Al6any ADJ.
ADMISSIONS OF THE ENEMY"
Ex-Governor Hill, of New Hampshire, one
of the most jealous friends of the present
National Administration, bestows, in late
number of his Farmers Visitor, the follow
ing well-merited compliments upon two of
of his political opponents:
"Mr. Webster, in the speech this day
published, discovers not only the talent but
the true tact of the great man. Like Henry
Brougham of England, who said that the
most valuable part of the acquisitions of his
whole life would be taken taken away by
celebrating the first three years of his exis-
tence, we think the foundation of Daniel
Webster's eminence was better laid in the
personal toll and information gained on his
fathers farm in early life, than in all his SUBJ
sequent classical studies and literary indus
try.
,"The genius of Henry Clay is intuitive
and when it bursts spontaneously from the
letters thrown around it by prejudice, it for
ces itself into the channel of right and JUS
tice. We have personally observed this on
several occasions; but never have we been
more gratified in the exhibition than on the
occasion of a late debate in the Senate of the
United States growing out of a report of Mr.
Buchanan, Chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, on the disputed North
Eastern Boundary between this country and
Great Britain. We admire the tone offeel-
ing exhibited on this occasion by the veteran
Senator-a feeling which does equal credit
to the heart which prompted it, to the coun.
try, and to the administration to which he is
opposed" ''@~a

Last night went in to join the great gath
ering at Faneuil Hall. We were early
enough to secure snug corner, in which we
could sit as we'll as stand. and where there
was cool breeze playing, so that our enjoy
ment was greater than it would have been if
jammed up as almost every body was, for
the house was crammed to overlooking. Mr..
Everett begun by saying that he was glad
