We gratifed to be able to state to our readers
that the long wished for treaty between the United

gentlemen are daily expected. The influence Cover

render the responsible business of the Commissioners

adverse to the interests of the Government brought
to bear those who not well acquainted with
the mode of managing these tribes as Governor Cham
bers. The object of the Government, believe, is
to prevail upon the Sacs and Foxes to sell out all their
lands and agree to emigrae to Dacoah Territory. If
this is effected we shall have only of the best
but the very best watered territory that can be found
in the world. Two of the greatest rivers will then
lave our shores-the Mississippi the east and the

THE WHIG MANIFESTO.


We cannot subscribe TO all the principles set
forth in this document. 1t was an inauspicious
movement at best; calculated to do no good
whatever, and will inevitably do much harm
The terms of censure employed in relation to
the conduct of the President, are far from meet
ing universal approval, while some of the doc
trines advanced are still more unpaatable to
numerous portion of the party. That in rela-
ton to the abrogation of the Veto power is
perhaps the worst indeed it is of itself suffi-
Gent, in our view, to condemn the whole pro-
duction. We will readily admit that restric-
ton of the Veto power to bills unconstitutional,
and such as encroach upon executive rights,
would be an improvement, but to strike from the
Constitution all Negative poWer on the part of
the President, would be al once to consign the
country to the will of an irresponsible majority
in Congress, Or in other words, make the will
of the majority the Constitution. Upon all
such doctrine as this we emphatcally put our
veto. 1t is true the States would still possess
the unquestonable right which they now pos.
sess, to guard their own sovereignty, and pro-
tect themselves from the operation of unconsti-
tutional and oppressive laws: but if bare ma
jority in Congress were allowed to enact all laws
independent of the sanction of the President
the probability is that the States would find &C.
casion to throw tn mselves upon their reserved
rights more frequently than they have in the
past history of our government.
We have been led to make these remarks by
an inquiry from an esteemed friend, why we
have not published the document in question:
1t was not such as we were willing to acknow-
ledge as containing exactly the creed of our
party and in this we believe we speak the senti-
ments of the State Rights party generally.

LETTER FROM JOHN RANDOLPH

The Phloclean Society of Rutgers College, New
Jersey have, through Gen. r. H. Pruyn, furnished
with the following letter of John Randolph, of
Roanoke. The Society has consented to its publica
ton, in consequence of the solicitations of
many of it's graduates and honorary members who
believe that great favor would he conferred upon the
public by the production of letter eminenty cha
racterstic of that eccentric man. The following is
literal copy from the original-Albdny Epening

CHARLOTTE C. H., Virginia, April, 1888.
SlR-Your letter announcing my unanimous cleo
ton an honorary member of the " Philocledn So

day it received by at Roanoke. 1t bears date
the first and is postmarked the 9th of that month

cruel disease from answering very great number of
letters, many of them on urgent business and some OF
them of great consequence 10 my best interests pecu
mary well as Of higher character.

in my disease Affords to make to the society suitable
acknowledgment of the honor conferred upon !;
and if unable to announce my =" ready acceptance"
at least give to the Society, and 10 yourself sir,
its President, the sincere of my cordial
Acknowledgement Of the honor done me by the appoint
ment, and by the kind, 1attering terms in which the
intelligence is conveyed by its presiding officer. Here
tofoTe, when have been fortunate to procure
amanuenss, have been compelled to employ him in
answering my most urgent letters of business and,
when able to write myself to employ all the leisure
that could procure in doing that which could not
trust, except to a person of the highest and incest
sense of honor. Such characters rare at all times
were never more than now when the EIEC-
PIONEERING PRINCIPLE, "bred in the Bone
of our Government, has brought an almost univer
sal Corruption, and the State of Society and Manners
threatened to leave nothing worth living for out
of immediate domestic CIRCLE and even there its
lalcful influence is not unfelt. 1t has invaded the
Fires de, and Friendships of long standing and sup
posed lnvioability have withered before IT, like tho
SMooN of the Desert, blasting all that comes in it

REVOLUTION AND MOVEMENTS IN
MEXICO

BY the arrival at this port of barque Ann Louisa
Captain Clifford there have been received Vera Cruz
papers as late as the 18th of last month.
The Censor of the tenth contains communication
from General Santa Anna, dated 9th, addressed to
the Governor of the Department, in which he de-.
nounces the acts of President Bustamente, and de-
clares his cordial adhesion to the plan of Generals
Paroles and Valencia.
munication from General Santa Anna to General Al
monte, (Bustamente's right hand man. dated Fort
Perote, September 9th, complaining particularly of
the of the President in declaring the capital in
a state Of siege, placing himself personally at the
head Of the army, and subjecting the civil power to
the military. He concludes by saying, II accuse you
and His Excellency General Bustamente of having
violated the Constitution in the matters spoken of
and in consequence thereof, no longer acknowledge
the authority OF said General either as the Head of
the Army or as President Of the Republic; nor do |
acknowledge you the legitimate organ of the gov
eminent for communications relative to the ministry
of war"
The "plan of Paredes," as it is called, G. the revo
lutionary project preached by that General in the lat
ter part of August finds many adherents. The depart
ments of Vera Cruz, Guanaxuato Queretaro, Zaca-
tecas, &C., are represented to have pronounced in ia
vor of the movement. Gen. Paroles, by the last &C
counts was in Guanaxuato, at the head of 400 men,
in connexon with Gen. Costazar. There were ru-
mors that TampCo had pronounced, but this is
doubtful.
The city ofMexico had been the scene of some dis
turbances-a part of the garrison had revolted-but
the government maintained its position The extra
ordinary powers of Bustamene were conferred or as
sumed, in consequence Of the revolutionary move
ments but the assumption of such powers seems to
have increased the opposition to his administration
A public meeting was held at Vera Cruz, Scpem-
Der llth, at which resolutions were adopted having
in view the formation of Provisional Government
for the Republic in lieu Of that of President Busta
mente.
The Censor of Sept 18th states that the Dictator
ordered the publication of all the newspapers in the
capital to be suspended, except the Boletin, which
was issued for his own purpose-N. Y. Ere. POET

THE PREDICAMENT

It must now be acknowledged by all rational pei
sons, that the clique who attempted head Captain
Tyler" have got themselves into very serious pre-
dicament." In trying to head Captain Tyler they
have found themselves matched, and have resort
ed to the most despicabe means which they could in
vent, to blast his character in the public mind, and
bring down disrepue upon man. h therto untarnish-
ed in his political and private career. Every means
that could be devised, whether fair foul were
brought into action by political Spectators and
whose private interests not consulted, before the
good of the country the confidential discussions which
he had with his cabinet, bazoned forth to the
world, accompanied with denunciations the most bit
ter and exaggerated in order to make him appear the
more criminal in the eyes of the public.
But yet John Tyler stands untouched by the shafts
of wrath which were launched at him by those who
should have been the last to have deserted him. lie
stands with those principles which he has sternly ad
hered to through long line of public and private life
yet untarnished-yet unviolated. The shield of
honesty and patriotism is buckled his ARM to war
off the blows aimed at his reputation by those who
would gladly break him down in the eyes Of the coun
try, in order to build themselves up upon the ruins
daused by his fall but they have been defeated far
in their strenuous efforts to head" Mr.. Tyler, and
we believe they will have to resort to more honest
means before they can gull enlightened and free
thinking People, into the belief that Tyler has
ed according to his expressed principles during the
late canvass throughout the United States.-St. Louis
Bulletin.

Mr.. D. s. DICKINSON of N. Y. makes the following
remarks, relative to Mr.. Tyers Veto of the Bank in
aleter addressed to convention of his party in Ulster
county:
In refusing his assent to this institution in any and
every FORM President Tyler has, in my judgment, merit
ed the gratitude of every true friend of his country.
There Is certainly, in his administration much to
denim, and much more which cannot be approved, but
when we reflect, that the atmosphere he breahed
Little better than political contagion, his conduct
presents sublime example of more than Roman
frmness.
Those who have gone before him. on occasions of
great and trying emergency have been surrounded by
friends and sustained and cheered by their constitu
tiona advisers But John Tyler was beset by cupdity
and reachery in every form; and yet regardless of
threats or fattery Of personal political consde
rations he laid hold Of the pillars Of the threatened
Constitution, and maintained its integrity nviolate.
What though he has yielded his assent of per-
niclous and imProvident legislation, and tolerated il
not approved, system Of prescription for opinion
sake both cruel and dsgraceu these evils which
may be corrected, and are trfing when compared with
the protection Of that sacred which uphos
the ark Of our political safety.

Old Jackson men, shouted as in the days of their
first hero, their first loye--edtors who supported Gen
jackson IN 1855, buckej their armor and entered

confidence. Their old watch words and mottos were

and Reform, -" Single Term" Sc, sc. The Peo-
pie We're told that candidates Republicans Of
the Jeersonian schoolall the old documents speech
es, and arguments used in elevating Gen. Jackson in
1928 were usei and brought to bear in favor of Har-
rison and Tyler. The same pledges were given, the
same promises made. Well, we succeeded-an extra
session was called, and series of Wing measures
passed A bank project was called for-the Secreta-
ry OF the Treasury comped-it did not suit Mr.. Clay
and others and was thrown aside Another bill was
drawn up-passed and vetoed. Another, containing
equally objectionable features the frs passed
and also vetoed. The Cabinet dissolved, and por-
ton OF the Congressman, met in caucus, adopted an
indiscreet address, declaring John Tyler longer
Wing, and as having acted traitorous to his party.
The question now arises, what will this Of the
Wing party lead to-what will be the result Of the
Wing party2 We answer, it will result in COM
plee overthrow of the present Admin ration if the
course marked out by the Wing caucus at Washing
ton is persisted in Ii the strong Bank portion of the
Wing party obstinately oppose any compromise with
that part of the party who believe with Mr. Tyler in
regard to Bank, Of course there must be division
in our ranks, IL which even the Van Buren, dynasty
will assuredy triumph the election arrives.
The Harrison party was organized by compromise
that compromise must be maintained the party is
distracted, and the locofocos will ride into power on
our ruins. Nay than this: if an ld-fashioned
Bank is continued to be pressed, and Tyler and his
friends abused and vifed they have been for few
months past in less than years the ocofoco party
will have a ma orty in both houses Of Congress. The
original Clay men not strong enough to compete
with common enemy, without the aid Of the oig
nal Harrison men, Conservatives and if the voice
Of the latter be not Needed mark this prediction In
less than two years the Wing party will be in mi.
norty 1t is only by maintaining the union entered
into in '39 and 40, that the present Wing party
be maintained, or that harmony can be preserved.
We are now strong and invincibe shall we then,
like many boys, quarrel among ourselves, and there
BY yield our fort, ammunition and all to the enemy2

he was equally tranquil and selfpossessed Although
evidently gr4fed by the result he betrayed not the
