movements made during the short incumbancy Of
Mr.. Marcy, than have transpired for years before.

tics Of VIM. l., Marcy. While, for several years
in succession he governor Of the great State OF
New York, his administration Of the numerous and
perpexing duties of that station distinguished
alike for prudence in elaboration, and decision in
action. These striking and important qualities have,
with incaculable advantage TO the country, been
brought in the War Department Of Mr.. Folks ad-
mnstration. In conducting all the affairs growing
out of our peculiar relations with Texas and Mex
leo, the highest wisdom and foresight and the most
prompt and energetic action, have been exhibited;
and il was only by such course Of action by the
War Department, aided and seconded Ivy similar
action in the Navy Department, that we could have
been carried through with complete and peaccablc
success
Tho best security for peace, is efficient prepara-
ton for war. No sooner had the contingency arisen
upon which Mexico had announced she would
declare war, than American troops well equipped,
and gallant squadron Of American vessels Of war,
appeared upon the of threatened danger, pre-
pared to defend or to assail. The imbecility of
Mexico covered beneath the keen eye Of the Amc-
rican eagle, which they encountered on the land
and on the sea. Too much honor cannot be award
ed to the Secretaries of War and Navy for the man
ner in which they have conducted these delicate af
fairs, far pertained to their respective depart
menis or to the whole administration, for the tri-
umph which the country has achieved by their wis
dom, foresight, and energy.
Mr.. Marcy, though not man Of so smiling,
gracious exterior and manners, as mark some peo-
pie ever is endowed with qualities Of much hig h.
or value. He is man of expanded mind and a
liberal heart, and a man who can be relied on. His

When the fredericksburg Recorder" finds us
abandoning one great republican principle which
we have always professed--anti-tariff and all;--
when It finds us supporting the administration at
the sacrifice of one of those great principles, in
theory or in detail--currying favor from them at
the expense of the country, or sacrificing our
honest convictions at the shrine Of power;-or when
il finds us failing to support all the rights Of our
country against all foreign nations, then we hope
the Fredericksburg Recorder viii furnish the wings
with another chapter on "organs." II is not often
that seek the opportunity of consulting the men
in power. They have never asked Of us the sacr-
fee ofone principle. They know that such sacrifice
is not to be expected and has never been made and
that the moment when they ask it to part forever
Fortunately for the country, the President ofthe
United States is as firmly determined as we are to
carry out the resolutions of the Baltimore conven-
tion--the principles which they promulgated, and
the pledges under which he was elected. Ofsuch
principles we are happy to be the "organ."

the substance; but this we will repeat, it was a
'talkn that did honor to his head and heart and he
will proudly recognise its beneficial results before
the close of bis administration. He concluded his
remarks by telling the chiefs that when their bust

take them by the hand and have farewell talk
with them.

The Pottawatomic tribe of Indians have been
parties to thhiy-sght treaties made with the United
States. The first was concluded at Fort Harmar,
on the Muskingum river on the 9th day of January,
1889, and has the following caption: "Articles Of
a treaty made at Fort Harmar, between Arthur St.
Clair governor of the Territory Of the United States
northwest Of the Ohio, and commissioner plcnipo-
tertiary OF the United Stntcs of America, for re-
moving all causes Of controversy, regulating trade,
and settling boundaries, with the Indian nations in
the northern department, Of the one part; and the
sachems and warriors of the Wyandott, Delaware,
ouows, Chippewa, Potawatomc, and Sac nations,
on the other part" Since that time, they have nego-
tiaied thirty-seven treaties by which they and the
tribes united with them coded away the best lands
now constituting four of our western States and Ter
ritories.
The business Of these Indians here now is OF vas,
importance, and may be referred to in another
number. They were told, before they Icft home, as
ell Indians hare been told for several years past that
they must not here; and the reception they met
with yesterday has delighted them beyond measure.

This greeting was interpreted by Pierre Leclcrc,

dian speaker then resumed his seat; and the Presi-
dent responded in the kindest, and to them, most
gratifying manner, which was signifed by their
"Ugh! ugh!!' uttered very loud, which is a sure
sign Of their appreciation Half Day then again
took the floor, and made another "talk," in which
he approached slightly the object Of their visit here;
but he touched the subject cautiously, and exhibited
skill in diplomacy in which some Of our white
dplomatists have been found wanting. His speech
may be summed up as follows:
+ "My great father, | have told you that we have
como long journey to see you. Our prese- home,
you know, is far beyond the great river that rises
at the head Of the big lake. We have let there
our old men and women, and our little children,

are glad now that you have taken us by the hand.
Our people have signed great many treaties with
you, and you have at last got all our lands on this
side ofthe Mississippi. About eleven years ago we
gave you large country--all the lands we had on

you asked us to part with that land, but we an
