men are familiar with the cry that has been
| echoed, from year to year, of the millions ex-
pended by the Government in conducting cam
pagns against handful of Indians. The Exc
cutive has most successfully adopted measures
to put an end to this ruinous expenditure, and
at the same time TO secure the expulsion of the
savages. The tide of emigration will now
sweep them into the ocean, or compel them to
join their brothers in better land provided for
them by the Government. The hardy settlers
will henceforth protect themselves against In
dian depredations. The Executive deserves
the credit of this happy consummation.
| 9th. The Rhode Island difficulty. The fear
less course of the Executive in this matter will
receive ample justice at the hand Of the histori-
an. The benefit to our system of Government,
arising from the action of the Executive, in this
instance, is of incalculabe magnitude. Had the
question been settled in the manner proposed by
the Deslructives, the whole fabric of our Repub-
lican Government would, ere long, have been
crushed into an unsightly mass of ruins. Had
| RIGHT (and we are free TO confess that the prin-
| ciple contended for by the Suffrage party is
right been superseded by MIGHT, in the adjust
ment of the difficulty, the omnipotence and sane
tity Of human laws, in this country, would
have been at an end The course of the Exc
cutive was wise, just, and EMINENTLY SUCCESS
Full. And yet the Suffrage party will succeed.
They must succeed. But they can never de-
molish the truly obnoxious Charter with the
sword. Mr.. Don may batter the arsenal with
his cannon, but he can never take legal posses
sion of the Gubernatorial chair by force, with
| arms in his hands. But the current of public
opinion will do them justice. Let them show
| to the world, in an authentic manner that they
| have majority in the State, and the Suffrage
party will soon have no cause of complaint.
Their wishes will be granted by Governor
| kirg.
18th. The Belgian Indemnity. Steadily and
unostenlatously the Executive has proceeded
| with its negotiations in behalf Of our citizens.
The immense sums so long and so unjusrly
withheld from our merchants, of which they
had been despoiled by the European wars, have
at last been restored, principal and interest
through the instrumentality of the Executive
And YET Congress is cutting off our efficient d.
plomatc agents
Sth. Our Mexican Difficulties In few
days we hope to be able to give the entire Off
cial statement of the settlement of affairs with
Mexico We have seen the liberation of the
imprisoned American citizens. We shall fur
Their see that the Executive here too, has been
trumphanty successful
9th The affair at Montevideo. The justice

portance of our gallant little Navy, which Con-
gress would also degrade and demosh Wegive
letter written by gentleman residing at Mon
tevideo, in relation to this matter
THE U. s. squadron, consisting Of five SAIL under
the command of Commodore Morris, has been in the
river, and sailed a cruise the, 18th Instant
Wherever this fleet appears it adds greatly the ho-
nor of our country 1t inspires all who see it with
respect for the great and rising power in he world
whose stars and stripes so noby bears from to
sea.
at is not possible for my pen to do justice t. the
character of the officers of Navy but cannot
omit rendering to them tribute of gratitude for hav
ing removed every difficulty in commercial operations
on this coast by which those in merchant vessels feel
every security in transacting business shore and
in the waters ofthe Southern continent although
rounded by contending armies and fleets.
"Were it not for Navy every species of depre-
dation would be pract,ed upon US; but r7w wher-
The stripes and stars appear, and the gilt button
and the noble countenances of those sons who have
its sacred keeping entrusted to their charge make
their appearance it is pleasure to transact business
and it was not without some qualification when TO-
reigner of some distinction requested to know Of me
| if he could not become American CITIZEN and
be under the protection of the U, S. consul and the
| Navy"
| 10th. The Northeastern Boundary Although
this matter is not yet finally settled, we can east
ly perceive, by the Secretary of States letter to
the Governors Of Maine and Massachusetts, and
their action in relation to it, that all parties, the
special British Minister, the Executive, and the
States Immediately interested, concur in the
desire and belief that it soon will be finally ad-
justed.
Other more important, and yet more success
full acts OF the Executive may soon be develop
ed. Thus the Executive pursues its onward
course, true to the Constitution and the coun-
try, and unmndlul of the malignant shafts aim
ed at it at every step. And shall we not protect
1t? 1t is a cause to die for, if it were neces-
sary !!
We are charged with being mercenary. 1t
is said our services are rendered for gold. These
assertions are not true. The Executive print
ing has been mere pttance, and that has been
wholly taken from us by Congress. Blanks had
been printed by the Globe for years ahead. We
have sacrificed our entire fortune in our zeal to
vindicate and defend an upright Administra-
ton, greatly wronged by its numerous and pow
erful enemies. We are now very poor. We ask
our foes TO spare our good name. We have
nothing left but that, and whatever intel ect the
Almighty has been pleased 10 bestow upon US
We shall continue to labor in behalf Of the AID
