STILL THEY COME.

Yesterday we published the declaration Of the
Delaware County (Pa.) Republican in favor of
the Administration The following we copy
from the Penn yam IN. Y y Democrat. Such
indications are cheering to the hearts of patriots
who are laborng necessarily Notwithstanding
they are daily belabored by their hollow-hearted

country.
Presidents Message The Doings Of Congress.-
The question may now be asked what Will Congress
do in the present conjuncure OF foreign and do
nestle affairs2 The Congress has now been assem-
bled for four months, and notwithstanding bankrupt
treasury deranged currency, and business para
Neutrality-suspicious. in ruins, and navy rendered in
efficient from the entire neglect of it, and nothing
literally nothing, has yet been done
The President, in this conjuncture has boldly and
noby stepped forward regardless Of party feeling, and
sent Message to both Houses, recommending the
repeal Of the Distribution Law, and revision OF the
tariff both Of which are demanded and will be sus-
tanned by the country.
Il is not necessary here to speak Of the passage OF
the Distribution act. That it was unwse mea-
sure must be evident to all candid men. Mr.. Tyler
in his message, which we published at length last
week frankly proposes its immediate repeal and that
The money arising therefrom be applied to the urgent
wants of The government This course would restore
about three millions dollars per year TO the national
treasury. The adoption of tariff increasing the du-
lies above 20 per cent? which was liked as the maxi
mum rate Of duty by the Compromise act, is now &C
knowedged by all necessary to produce sufficient
revenue for the wants Of the treasury.
The immediate adoption of both these measures
recommended by the President, would undoubtedly
place the finances of the country again upon firm
basis, and if managed with proper ability and skill,
such as have right to expect in every admnistra
ton, and such as we had in Mr.. Van Buren's, the
treasury and the country both will be restored to thel
former prosperous condition.

RHODE IsLAND-As yesterday was the day for the
free suffrage" party to hold the elections In Rhode
Island, shall look with interest TO the result. II
they persist in organizing under the new constitution
there will be two governments in ex stence IN mat
State, and collision must be the necessary conse-
quence. This would be dreadful state of affairs, as
il would ultimately lead to bloodshed II is evident
from the Presidents letter to Governor King that he
will consider it his duty TO interfere upon proper APP
pcaton for the protection Of the legal authorities Of
the State, and for the suppression of any rebellion
which may take place. The President has taken a
clear and correct view Of his duty and distinctly AYERS
his intention to discharge it if required by cilcun-
stances. In this he will be sustained by every friend
of law and order in the United States. We think il
Just that the right of suffrage should be extended IN
Rhode Island and to this there appears to be no OBJ
lection by either paItyhe only difference Isl that the
one party desires TO have the change effected in ac-
cordance with law whilst the otLer seeks it through
the medium of revolution. Were the principles adj
vanced by the latter to be generally recognized, no
State would be fee from CONFUSION, as dissatisfied
persons would take the redress of real or supposed
grievances into their own hands.
We sincerely hope that all the difficulties may be
amcaby adjusted; but if not and intestine war en-
sue, trust that President Tyler will promptly IN
erpose the power of the General Government in sup
port of the legal authorities of the State II will be
the first instance in which revolutionary movement
has been carried to extremity in State, and hence
the necessity of having 1t speedily and eiectualy sup
pressed. The suffrage party can obtain what they
desire in legal way, and should have the good sense
and moderation not attempt to acquire it by force.
The elections which took place yesterday no doubt
resulted in the choice Of the suffrage candidates, as
we presume that opposition was offered. On Wed
nesday next the elections under the legal authorities
will be held If the officers chosen yesterday forbear
the attempt to exercise authority harmony may still
be preserved-bu the they begin to act under
their appointments will be signal for hostities and
then we shall have the dsgracefu and terrible exam
pie of citizens butchering each other God, in his in
finite mercy, avert such a calamity.

RHODE ISLAND.


We insert on the first page of the daily paper, the
Proclamation Of Gov King, and the letter of Presi-
dent Tyler, of which gave the material part in
Yesterdays paper. This letter. declaring the view
which the President takes of the duties of the ma
tiona executive, in supposed contingency, is very
important document, and one which will be regarded
as an exposition from very high authority, Gas it is
understood that it has the unanimous assent of the
Cabinet) of part of the Constitution which fortu-
nately there has rarely been occasion to call into
exercise.
1t would have been thought that this declaration
by the President Of the obligation which he holds
himself to be under, to interfere for the support OF
the existing government in any State in case of its
being assailed by violence, would be sufficient to
check the efforts now making to supersede the gov
eminent of the State of Rhode Island. But it
the suffrage party still persist in the design
of attempting to carry into effect constitution,
formed by no other authority than convention OF
delegates, deputed by town caucuses, in opposition
to the regularly constituted government of the State

had they not been deceived by the representations OF
Mr. Brown and his friends.
We commend the course which the President IN
this instance, has pursued. He has shown, in tn,
strongest light, that when the malevolcnce of those
who oppose his appointments, is discovered, the au

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT.

We have the pleasure of laying before our readers
this morning the reply of President Tyler to the let
ter of Governor King. II is full explicit, and dec
ded, and declares in the most unqualified terms the
determination of the National Executive to maintain
the legal and constituted authorities of the State He
says Z" 1T WILL BE MY DUTY TO RESPECT
THE REQUISITIONS OF THAT GOVERN
MENT WHICH HAS BEEN RECOGNISED AS
THE EXISTING GOVERNMENT OF THE
STATE IN ALL TINE PAST, until shall be adj
vised IN A REGULAR MANNER that it has been altered
and abolished and another substituted in its place
by LEGAL and PEACEABLE PROCEEDINGS
ADOPTED and framed by the AUTHORITIES and
people of the State"
For the prompt and manly exercise of his constitu-
tona authority, President Tyler is entitled to the
thanks of every true citizen of Rhsde Island. 1t is
what we expected from his irmness and from his cha
racer The one different, in some respects,
from any which had been presented but the
absence of precedent did not deter him from the per-
Torrance Of his duty as marked out in the Conslitu-
i'm. AS state paper, it is admirably written, plain
and eht to the point and its sentiments breathe the
true spirit of the Constitution.

From the Providence Journal.

The letter of the President appears to have exerted
an effect upon the moderate and thinking portion OF
the suffrage party, who are now convinced that the
National Executive will not hesitate to put forth his
authority when called upon by the Governor, and
that their leaders have in this respect in others,
grossly deceived them. But there not wanting
offce-seeking demagogues, who are so thoroughly
committed, that nothing can arrest them; and, I'M
fortunately, there ho-headed followers, who are
still bound to them. If these men choose to go on IN
violation of the laws, and in direct conflict with the
State and National Go ernments, the consequences
be ON their own heads. If men will hold the offices
of moderatars and clerks at illegal meetings II men
to exercise their functions they cannot complain
that they were not warned Independent of the act

purpose of having experiments made to test the quail
tiles of the different specimens, with The view OF as

ticlans who would make every thing, even the
liberties Of their country, the convenient VIC
tins Of their own sordid ambition. We go for
democracy, in its truest sense, the democracy
that recognizes the supremacy of the popular
will, and not the pitiful advancement Of needy
hunters after place. We go for the democracy
that was sanct:s"d Lexington and Bunker

democracy that u..;sshts IN dark cabas and mis-

gressional chamusI consultations. We go for
the democracy the voice of which is heard in
tones of thunder, sweeping through the wide
valleys and rich sayannahs of the North and
South, and that IS -hned from crag to erag, from
the hills of Maine and New Hampshire TO the
time-scarred SUBMITS of the Rocky Mountains,
as free and as glorious as the winds and the

cracy that fawns and halters, crnges and plays

as venal as its own vile purposes. Give us the
democracy that has made our country the adml-
ration of the world, that actuated our father o
old at the council board and in the battlefield, the
democracy that stands on the broad platform OF
the public coed, and we ask for nothing better
Away, then, with the pseudo cant that whlnes

elevation in aspersions against honest worth
and intelligence, and would build up its own
prosperity on the downfall of Others, even al
though that downfall be procured by the mean
est mputations and declarations unsanctioned
by truth and honor. The democracy that has
in view the greatest happiness of the greatest
number, is, with us, a hallowed and revered
principle; to it we bow with no empty lip-ser-
vices, but with the most heartfelt feelings the
deepest sincerity, and we reject with contempt,
the mock parade Of love for the People, that has
not even wit enough TO hide its sel6shness and
ambition beneath the scanty mantle of deceit IN
which it tries TO envelope itself. 1t stalks about
our streets and saunters with measured, stealthy,
pace through the recesses of the Capitol let the
People seize their betrayer and hold it up to uni
versal scorn and detestation.

Mr. WERSTER,S I. ETTER

There are perhaps few State papers which have
been more alluded to of late and less understood,
than Mr. Webster's letter of instructions to Mr..
Everett in regard to the Creole negroes. The sum
and substance of that letter with its instructions are
contained in the following sentence to be found it.
"But request, nevertheless, that you lose time
in calling Lord Abcrdeens attention to it (the CASEY
in general manner, and giving him a narrative Of
the transaction, such may be framed from the pa
pers now communicated, with distinct declaration
that if the facts turn out stated, this Government
thinks it clear case for indemnif cation ="
Here upon all the geese in the country have been
Cabling. The New York American, to make long
and frothy articles for his English employers and
patrons, assumes that the Secretary demands the
surrender of the slaves to their Southern masters and
works up whole columns of horrors dire at such a
proposition to honest abolition England who holds
100 600 900 Of slaves in India and the little country
dogs under that papers influence, catch the sound and
reverberate il back.
The above extract contains all the demand made
in the letter But the debate in the English
House Of Lords, made in ignorance of the actual
prport Of the letter by at least most of the members
if not all of them who supposed that demand had
been made for their surrender, taken as part
of Mr. Webster's letter by his veracious Editor and
copied by many Of the country papers, without know
ing or nquiring into the real merits of what they
were publishing.

Indian uncit-NeW Treaty. On Saturday last a
Council was held at II Council House on the Buffalo
Creek Reservation, which promises to be followed by
important results The Council called at the in
stance of the Friends and attended by Baltimore
and Philadelphia delegations from that body, and by
nearly, if not quite, all the Chiefs on the Tonawanda
Buffalo Creek and CataIaugus Reservations The
Friends, with characteristic philanthropy, aiming
to effect compromise between the supporters and OPP
ponents of the late treaty, which has been the sub
ject of much heated discussion and for that pur-
yose they submitted to the Indians the following pro-
position, which, is said, agreeable TO the Ogden
Company To annu the late treaty and make new
one 10y which the Indians on the Tonawanda and
Buffalo Creek Reservations shall give up those lands
and all be concentrated on the Cattaraugus Reserva
ton.
This last FAMED reservation, embracing some fifty
odd thousand acres is sufficiently large forhe
mediation Of all the red men and the Friends believe
if they there be collected, and be brought under
proper educational and moral supervision, their condi
ton can be vastly improved The propositions have
very generally been avoraby entertained by the In
dams and strong hopes cherished that all the un-
happy difficulties which have existed for the past few
year. will be amicabIy and finally settled. Of
whatever arrangement may he made must receive the
government sanction to give ii validity; but no oppo-
