folding his and leaving the whole current Of events
to the exclusive discretion Of Congress. Had the last
administration done nothing-had they recommended
false policy TO the adoption of CongressMr Fillmore
might have the better for doing nothing himself
But their action devolves upon him the duty of counter
action Besides, he is constuonaIly bound TO give to
THE Congress information Of the state of the Union, and
recommend to their consideration such he
may judge necessary and expedient." He in in
the midst of great difficulties. and these be manuly

We observe an interesting article in the " New Orleans
True Delta" OF the I'd july which refers to the Indian
war upon !" The Western Prairies" That paper had at
early day and frequently since. called the attention of
the administration the oulrages which had been prac
