The WyAapoTs-The party of Indians
which lately left Ohio arrived at st. Louis on
the Goth nit. The Republican. of that city,
relates the following incident illustrative OF
the respect entertained by them for the me-
mory of Gen. Harrison-inany of them having
served with him at the siege Of Fort Meigs:-
Before the boat reached North Bend, the
principal chief requested Capt. Cleghorn 10
have the shig gum loaded, and as the boat
neared that hallowed spot the chiefs and
braves silently gathered upon the hurricane
roof and formed into line fronting the resting
place Of the departed chief. The engine was
stopped. and the. boat was suffered to drift with
the current. As they passed the tomb they
all uncovered and gently waved their hats in
silence aud after the boat bad passed. and
the report of the cannon had died away, the
chief stepped forward and in an impressive
manner exclaimed. Farewell Ohio and her
Brave I"

NoTE.--It is a strange fact that many new
d seases among horses have been observed
since the settlement Of the Western States,
and it was the received opinion in Virginia
aud the Cardinals, that those same Diseases
carried by the horses driven from the West,
spread among the stock hitherto exempt from
them. It is thought BY some, that these dis
eases existed among them from the settle
ment Of the country, but were not observed.

been performed, that that majority, held together
only by the cohesive power" of Wing money,
would have been annihilated before this day; and
in its terror, it indirectly, yet plainly enough, adj
mits the fact!
The Editor does not inform us, or his friends OF

red; but all who are i'm the habit of reading hls
paper, understand well enough, how that object is
to be obtained. The Calhoun men are, first of all,
To agree that Richie and his Romans, constitute
the public. As their choice is not equivocal, II
follows of course THAT Mr.. Van Buren, is the po-
puar favorite. They (the Calhoun men) must
resign their candidate, and "hope against hope,
for future day. They must talk no more of Pri-
mary assemblies, fraught as they are. with danger,
and calculated to "lan the fame," rather than to
cxtinguish it. They must come down from their
s,iblimated notions of Democratic purity, and learn
the danger of what the Globe calls running De-
mocratic doctrines into extremes" In fine, they
must learn to swear by Van Buren,, through thick
and thin: to regard his rejection by the largest
majority ever given in this country as an infringe
mcnt of his undoubtcd and unalienable rights, and
to speak OF his contemplated "Restoration," with
all the glce with which the old French nobieSse
hailed the advent of Louis ie desire When they
shall have brought their minds to submit to all this,
then, and not till then, will they receive pardon,
for having dared to exercise the liberty of choice,
without the consent OF Mr.. Van Burens Pachas
i'm the Old Dominion. To this they must come At
last: and the sooner the step is taken, the better
'rhc frs, step alone. is painful Aiier that, all
is smooth and easy. Let them, and the several
hundred thousand retreating Wings" spoken of
bv "Senex.'' come forward like good boys, take
the logging, ask pardon, and drop it. Who can
stand the dcnunciations of such an adversary
'.Sencxl' To die, is bad enough in any shape.
To be killed Off by friend, enhances the horrors
of dissolution. But to he kicked To death 10y
