The UNIONS LAST SCHEME.-The Wash.

I" In this aspect Of the case. it NAV become

the church in Mexico shall he left untouched
whether they shall be suffered to remain a,

INDIAN DIFFICULTIES SETTLED.

The difficulties between one of the clans Of
the Sioux, and Winnebago Indians, are abou,
to be settled. Lieut.. McKenny informs US
that the chiefs Of the tribes were TO meet, this
week, at Fort Atkinson TO settle their difficult
lies. |, will be tecollected tina, several weeks
ago party the Winnebagoes were hunting
on the head waters of,he Desmoines river and
were attacked by party Of the Sioux, and
nine of The Winnehagoes killed. Whereupon
a party of the forces at For. Atkinson were
sen. into The Indian country to bring he Sioux
to terms. This they effected by appointing
meeting Of the hostile tribes at the Fort. The
Sioux are to pay in horses and money for the
wanton murder Of the Winnebagoes. This
arrangement seems to be satisfactory to the
latter.
The troops at the Fort seem 10 have as much
have with the Indians. The traders are in
the habi, of supplying the Indians with wills
key, against the laws, and this requires con-
stan, igance on the part Of The officers a, the
Fort.
Not many days ago Lieut.. McKenny had
rare chase after a couple Of Indians who
were packing whiskey from trading house
to The Indian country. Information was given
a, the Fo't Of the fact, and Lieut.. McKenny
set off in pursuit, with four or five men mount
ed on horses, and after riding several miles

rie, with ten gallon kegs swung across their
ponies. The Indians avoided them for sever
al miles, by riding through swamps wtere
the pursuing party could not 60 with their
| large horses. They at length succeeded in
heading the fellows, when the Indians drop.
ped their whiskey and put spur aad whip to
:helr ponies and was off. Leaving one man
to watch the whskey, Lieut.. McKenny set

three miles before he overlook the flying saw.
ages. There seemed TO be no stop ,o the fu.
gitives; but they continued the. flight, even
after the horsemen were within few rods Of
them, and they had to ride On 10 them and o.
yer them before their flight was arrested -
These fellows will ride forty miles GU. and
back. packing twenty gallons, each, of whis.
key in less than two days. Nothing can ex.
eel the agility and hardness OF their ponies.
The rascaly traders, in justice, ought to be
subject TO have their :I-gained profits confs.
Gated for the benefit Of the ignorant savage
The avarice Of this class of persons has no
bounds; nor do any consideration Of right
weigh with them for moment. But all prin-
cipe and decency is sacrificed to their unhal-
lowed cupidity. Under the influence which
controls them the savage is degraded and the
race mets away like The fading Of shadows
from the earth. And all this, that few
hear,ess, soulless villains may wallow in the
corruption of i'll gotten gains. May teribu-
ton come.

THE FRsE TRADE HuMBuG OF all the de-

MIR. LEFFI.ER's RESERVATIONS.

When men become SO utterly lost to all
sense Of RICH, as to represent pat OF the
truth for the unholy purpose of success only,
it is time for The press-lhe guardian OF the
licer,y of the peope-to speak out, and speak
plainly. Mr. LETTER is The man whom the Lo'
cofoco party has selected to get elected to
Congress, if possible, from the Cd district OF
this State. With the fairness usual to Loco
focoism, this gentleman undertook TO charge
the Wing members Of Congress with incon-
sstency in their course upon the Mexican war.
He represented that when the question came
Cd for declaration Of war against Mexico,
the Wings voted that s'war existed by The &C:
Of Mexico" This statement Of his was con-
cealment of The truth. An eviden, disposition
to deceive the people without committing him
self in any manner; (for he did not declare
himself 10 be believer in the justice of the
causes which produced the wary He well
knows ,ha, when the question came up in Con.
eress, the Wing members protested against
the prevalent preamble to the War Bill, and
under this solemn protest, were compelled to
vote supplies for the purpose Of exricaiing the
noble Taylor and his gallan, litlle army from
most perilous situation. True, their gallant
~ ex,rca,ed themselves out of the unjus,ifa-
bic condition which Polk had got them into,
before any succor could reach them. Mr..
Letter well knows iha, the supplies Of men
ant money were voted with The protest of the
Wing members Of Congress against the inea-
nous preamh le- and so the journals Of the
House of Representatives will show. There
fore it cannot be said with truth, that the
Wings voted for the lying preamble; but only
to ilat portion of the bill which related TO the
raising of money and men-and this, too, I'M
der the belief lha, the noble little army needed
such succor a, once and Instantly. Such are
the facts; yet Mr.. LETTER, with the instnc, Of
Locofocoism and deceilfui PoIkery. go, up be-
fore an intelligent aud ience. and with grave
and serious aspect of face, palmed off such de-
ceiful trash upon his hearers. Here. again,
is further evidence Of the instructive Federal
ism Of Locofocosm. Mr.. LETTER thought, him
self to be talking to people who had not ex
amined the question, and were incapable Of
detecting him in his false differences. He had
not, however, left town before Locofoco,
more honest than himself. confessed that he
was disappointed in Mr.. Letters apparent
thought it quite low and not little
mean in MIR. Letter, TO represen. the facts in
any such ight. In fact, there was not man
in the whole audience who did not detect the
deception at once. Next time Monsieur Left
Ter wishes to speak TO an ignorant people,
whom he hopes are too dumb TO see through
the fimsy deceit we advise him to 90 and
talk to the red men Of the forest. Locofoco-
ism has got load enough to carry, in the rol.-
ica' sins Of Letter, without backing such poor
deceptions as he seems inclined to practice.
