OFFIcIAL.-The Madisonian thus
announces President Tyler's erpec-
tGtaons:
"We beg leave distinctly to say,
that the President, so far from desi-
ring third party, expects that in six
months his Administration will be sus-
tanned by three-fourlhs of the Demo
cratic party in the country"
Was there ever anything SO nefably stupid
and unreasonable as the pretens ons and ex-
pectations of John Tyler and his poet laureate
John Jonesl
With every evidence ofcontempt poured by
both parties upon his head, John Tyler, the
creature of accident seems still infatuated with
the prospects of reelection, and receives
the insane rawlings of his court fool as the IN
spiration of prophecy.

The following, winch We e&Iact At1t.a 80
asoutbron,v gives un account Of the probable
.uorements,of the grand looo Foeo Armg. A.
they are Indicated At Head Qnarters
.ssov. Tucker IS On . visst 70 the
north. The conImander-in-chief Of
the army and navy ofthe State Of Mis-
fsissippi, has the privilege, nay, the
right, TO visit ell the tents within the
bounds OF his military jurisdiction.
Being ourselves on the "watchtower,"
we can cast our eye around and see
all that is going on-the marching and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. front face, and
the ripht-a-bout face.--We have found
some Of the sentinels sleeping at their
posts, but have not yet reported them
at headquarters. Some little mutiny
has been manifested by some of the
officers on half pay, and those who get
not pay enough. Contingencies have
happened which required the contin-
gent fund, but i was not used in that
lDoy. The commander-in-chief has,
however, drawn upon his private purse
and partially quieted the disafected
officers.
We shall not fail to inform all the
divisions Of the army of the important
arrangements which have been made
for companies and battaIions, the or
ders to be given, and the mode of Civ
ing the words ofcommand. The Pom
totoc regiment will form open rank at
the extreme right, while the Lowndes
regiment will fall Immediately in the
rear-after the first fire, the Lowndes
regiment will advance FIVE PAGES i'll
front, fire, plant the butts of their guns
on the ground to receive, on the points
of their bayonets, the charge of the
enemy's cavalry. AS these regiments
will be the first to move, we think il
our duty TO apprize them in due sea-
son, Of part of their maneuvres. SO
that they may have time to drill"

Aboriginal ElOquence.

We copy the following specimen Of Indian el-
o0ucncc from the Natchez Free Trader. from
winch paper also learn that it was delivered
by Col. Cobb, the celebrated half-breed chief of
the Choclaws, in reply to }. J. Mcltca, the agent
for enrolling and EN- grating the lnlians to the
west Of the Mississippi. Mr. McRea ha, made
speech to The lnd ms, about one thousand in num-
Der, assembled at Hop,hka. informing them that
.thoir council fires could no more be knded hero,
that 'their warriors can have no field FOR their
glory, and their spirit will decay within them,
and If they woui take tho hand of their great
father. the President. which is offered to them
to lead them to their western home then will their
hopes be higher, their deslinies brighter. The
Natchez Courier appropriately says Of this bit Of
cIoquence. that for comprehelisiveness AMI brcvi-
ty for beauty Of diction aud force for affecting
subIinity and propriety of sentIment, we have
never seen any production To excel it. We pub

Speech of Col. COBB, Head Mingo of the Choc.
taws, east of the Mississippi, in reply to the
agent of the U. States.
Bro,her,-We have heard yon talk as from the
lips of our father, the great White Chief at Wash
ington. and my people have called me 10 speak
to you. The Red man has no books, and when
he wishes % make known his views, like his IA.
thers before him, he speaks from his mouth. He
is afraid of writing. When he speaks he knows
what he says; tho Groat Spirit hears him. Writ
ing is the invention of the pale faces; it gives
birth to error and to feuds. Tho Great Spirit
talks--we hear him in the ,hunder--n the rush
ing winds and mighty waters--but he mover
writes. x.r. :
Bro,her-When you were young wo were
strong; we fought by your side; but our arms
are now broken. You have grown largo. My
people have become small.
Brother--My voice Is weak. you can scarcely
hear me; it is not the shout Of warrior, but the
wall of an infant. have lest it in mourning
over my people. These their graves, and in
those aged pines you hear the ghosts of the de-
pa rted. Their ashes are here, and we have boon
left to protect them. Our warriors nearly all
gone to the far country west ; but here are our
dead. Shall we 20 too, and give their bones 20
the wolves?
Brother-Two sleeps have passed since We
heard you talk. We have thought upon it. You
ask US to leave our country. and tell US it is our
Fathers wish. We would not desire to dispIeas,
our Father. We respect him, aud you his child
But the Choctaw always thinks. We want time
to answer.
