great contest the democrats, at the opening OF 'he
presidential campaign, had many states as thsy
have now. They had, too for MIR Van Buren,, lhe
support Of Mr.. Calhoun, Col. johnson, Mir Buchan-
an Gov. Shannon, Gov. Porter, backed by the Globe
the Richmond Enquirer, the Albany Argus the New
York Evening Post the OHIO Statesman, and long
list Of democratic papers that have not time 10 emu

cy From that time uie spirit u the party has ofsn
rspiping Ii is evident therefore, TO every body that
he has been the gallant champion that has most con-
spicuously sgnazed himself in the great contest
with the wings since 40. For this act Of noble dar-
ing in defence OF Jeiiersonian democracy he has
borne the continual assaults of the wings Ihey
shoot their arrows al him every hour OF the DAY, io
having thrown his shield between the democracy anu
their wing assallants. No Of the other cdndi-
dates for the Presidency has ever vetoed Uniied
States Bank. Gen. Jackson and President Tyler are
the only men living who have vetoed United States
Bank charter and are therefore entitled 10 the lasting
gratitude Of the party. And as Mr. Tyler has made
the issue Of " bank or no bank" with the wings, he
TO test its popu arity
1t should be recolected that President Tyler
Jeilersonian democrat, will hold the Presidential
char TOR nearly two years; that he is collecting
around him the splendid lights of thQ democracy
throughout the whole country, and that they will not
suffer with mpunity any Of The candidates ioanoniy to
| assal him. Nor do we believe any candidate can be
nominated, much less elected who shall attempt to
vetoed the United States Bank. Whatever gentle
men may think Of their claims TO the Presidency
1t is our opinion that the whole democracy that met
all over the republic and sent their loud hosannas
for Joms TrLEn's retoes, would gladly hear of his
nomination 10 the Presidency. The other candidates
are known and esteemed in their particular States
but MIR. Tyler is known to the Democrats in every
corner Of the Union. Indeed, there is not to be
found N the great family of Democrats, who has not
rapturously shouted the name Of Tyler and his
toes, when the glad tidings reached them that Tyler
like Jackson had flung HIMSELF Curtius like, into the
breach 10 save his country.
INTELLIGENCE INDIAN CoUNTRY.-The
ST. Louis papers Of the 18th instant, announce the
arrival Of six NIacknaw boats from the Platte river
with furs, &c, belonging TO the American Fur Com
pany. From the Gazette and New Era copy
some interesting intelligence. The New Era says
{" We have been permitted to letter from the
United States Blacksmith at Willow Creek, (Pawnee
country to his friend in this city, dated the 18th
OF June, giving an account of murders committed by
the Sioux Indians upon the Pawnees, upon the wife
of the Blacksmith. His wife shot Tuesday
morning, the 9Th instant about o'clock The hus-
band had endeavored to her by shutting her up
in the shop, but she had not time TO bolt the door,
and il burst open. She killed and they fell
to whipping the blacksmith, without doing him seTi-
injury having their guns all the while cooked,
ready fire. The Ind ans had also xii ed Lashapel,
the United States Interpreter who had been in that
country for 25 years; Cap Blue, first chief Of the
Pawnee Tappages, and farth sr-in-law Of the Inter
prefer; n son-n-law of the old chief Moulin and
yeral other Chiefs aud Braves, young men, women,
and children. Ii is also staed, that out Of A Lodg
es 81 of the largest burnt, and most of the
horses were stolen or killed on the spot The Paw
nee Indians had lett their villages go their Spring
Hunt. Willow Creek, from whence this letter is da
ted, IS $50 miles up the Platte river, and the Sioux
$50 miles above it. These Indians have exhibit
ed hostile feelings several occasions during the
winter, and this attack the Pawnees had been
pected for some time"
The Gazette furnishes the following concerning
Sir William Drummond Steuart and his party:
Among the persons who came down with these
boats several who left this city with Sir William
Drummond Sleuart. They describe the falgues at
tending the expedition and the oyerbearng rudeness
of Sir William nsupp1rtable. Thirteen of the
company had left him al the South Forks Of the
Platte and many others were preparing 10 leave
Some OF the company had threatened TO shoot him If
lac persisted in his tyrannical The Indians
maniiestng disposition TO steal the horses, and
as all but three or four of Sir Williams men were
green hands, fears entertained that their
efforts might be successful. All were in good health
though worn down with fatigue"
