Gov. DoTY.-In the House Of Representa-
sives on the 5ih ut. while the appropriation
bill was under discussion, Mr.. Medill Of Ohio
moved 10 strike out the appropriation for the
salery Of the Governor, and went into an ar
gument 10 show that he was unworthy to hold
tho office, having been guilty Of many Of the
worst crimes in the calendar, showing his dis
honesty, g. embezzlement Of public funds his
diverting the public money from the channels
to which il had been appropriated, to build up
the swindling Mineral Point Bank, which has
since exploded.
Mr.. Morgan said he did not rise to defend
the Governor, of Wisconsin Territory from
the charge that had been made against him by
the gentleman from Ohio. Neither would he
deny the testimony which had been produced
to sustain the charge. The charges had been
publicly made, and were now brought to the
notice OF the President, and if one-tenth of
what was charged was true, he ought to be
removed at once: but he did not think that the
appropriation should be wi.hheld-that was
not the proper course.

were lost. and many severely wounded. The
American says SO great was the confusion
that prevailed, and so little was known as to

that no complete account could be obtained.
Eight or ten persons were ascertained to have
been killed, and thirty or forty scalded or 9th

missing-probably drowned.

index to the importance Of the catastrophe:

intsndent d Indian Affairs, 1t St Louis concerning
10 title Of the United Satss to the country south q
The Des Moines river, the substance Of which may
not Be embarrassing to numerous citizens Of our
Territory. Our Delegate states that owing to the
miapplication Of the appropriation made to defray
tho expenses Of treaty with the Sac and Fox lndi
ans, for the purchase Of their country within our bor-
den-she complete failure Of the commissioners in
their negotiations, and learning from the Secretary
Of War that nothing further could be done until an-
other appropriation should be made, which gave it
sgloomy appearance it became necessary for him to
look about and see if there any possible outlet
for portion Of the inhabitants crowded together il
some parts Of the Territory. Under thess~ eirsnf.
sasnces and with this view, he addressed Maj Pileh-
e. enquirpg his opinion as to the title Of the United
States to The country south Of the Dcs Mones river
In his reply Maj r gave It as his decided opinion
that the Indian title has been fully and fairly extin
guished 10 the tract of country lying within line
commencing on the south side Of the Des Mones
river at the northern boundary line of the State Of
Missouri, running up the Des Moines to Raccoon
tori, and running weswardy on the whole line to the
highlands which divide the waters of the Des Mones
from those emptying into the Missouri river; and
that il is consequently much subject to occupation
survey, and sale, any Of the inhabited parts Of the
Territory. Maj. P. after giving this opinion, proceeds
70 give the reasons which have led him to it, which,
ihe = correct, fully sustains him in it.
Az Maj. P's knowledge Of our Indian Affairs is
second to that of man in the country, his opin-
ions arc entitled to great weight, if not as good as
gospel
II bis opinions arc sustained, and none, he says,
have doubted them, excellent country is open to
the enterprizing citizens of Iowa.

Unfortunately for Mr. Crittenden, the saddle
is on the wrong horse. The scourge is Congress
sional, not Presidential. At the extra session
Congress forced one veto on top of another;
and now they are making ready to do the same
thing over again. Would Mr.. Crittenden have
the President approve Tomorrow bill he re-
jected yesterday? The honorable Senator's
pretended ignorance of Mr.. Tyler's opinion on
the land clause, is forced play; for the Presi-
dents veto and his reasons have been on the
desks of Senators ever since that little nudity,
the Twelve Line Bill, was returned to the
House.
If there was less dictation from Ashland, and
Congress would attend to the aoritten and per-
sondI requests of the People, there would be no
reason for Senatorial expansion; but, as it has
been declared by the majority that they will war
against the President during his whole term, we
cannot expect peace until the People, at the bal
lot boxes, discharge all their servants who have
disobe yed

One great cause of the present disastrous position
of Mr. Tyler is his want Of information as to public
feeling.-BaA Pat.
The feeling of the Clay Wing party, we sup
pose, is meant But, as to the disaster of his
position, we presume it is only disastrous to the
said Clay Wing party. If we may judge from
at least thousand Democratic Republican jour
tons Of the Union, there can be no doubt in the
mind of any well informed man that the Presi-
dent is sustained by three-6fths of the People in
his straightforward course. But, that it is dis
astrous to the Clay-whigs, all the recent cleo
tons sufficiently demonstrate

the reckless character of that journal and the
