From the Plains.

The st. Louis Republican publishes letter from
Colonel Chambers the editor of that paper dated
at the Treaty Ground, mouth of Horse creek,
thirty five miles from Fort Laramie September
l5,' from which learn that Colonel Mitchell
and his party arrived on the ground the LIST of
September, and on the sth the first regular council
was held with the Indians, composed OF representa-
tives of the Sioux, Cheyennes, ArapaLoes, Sho.
shones or Snakes. Crows, Mongeurs, eros Vonters
Assineboins, Arickarees, and smaller delegations
from other tribes. Many other tribes who were
invited declined to attend the council There were
several thousand men, women, and children on
the ground, with horses and dogs TO match. The
military consisted of fragment of company of
dragons, two companies Of mounted rilemen,
of Major Chiffon.
After the propositions for n treaty were submit
ted by Colonel Mitchell, day was given to the In
dams in which to consult among themselves. NAf-
ter that there were repeated meetings in council,
and the result was that there was no difficulty in
coming to an understanding with all the Indians
except the Sioux, who advanced many objections
to the spulations of the treaty. They had also to
encounter the conflicting views and interests OF
traders. But notwithstanding these obstacles there
was a prospect Of complete success.
Colonel Mitchell had been annoyed by the nom
arrival of the train with provisions and presents
for the Indians The various tribes were quite
friendly with each other, and the party were not
likely to witness an Indian fight.

ties, should deem il wise or prudent to nomi-
nate Mr. FILLMORE, in preference to General
SCorT or Mr.. WEBSTER, we know Of nothing
that should induce us or any WING to with
hold from him the same cordial and earnest
support that would be cheerfuly extended TO
either Of the distinguished men we have
named. 1t is certain that President FILLMORE
has hitherto administered the Government,
and will continue to administer it, with the in
flexible determination to discharge his entire
duty on all occasions, and with fOrgetfulness
of personal considerations as complete and alb
solute as if he were consttutionally Ineligible
to the PRESIDENCY for second term More
than this it is unnecessary to say-less we
could not say with justice.
We are most happy, we repeat, to republish
the article of the Courier and Enquirer to
which we have referred. If its views should
meet the general favor of the party, and Mr..
WEBSTER should receive the nomination Of the
WING Convention, we should hail il with the
liveliest satisfaction, as a tribute well-paid to
nent abilities. Nor should we be the less ar
dent and earnest in the cause if the convention
should pass by all the distinguished WHIGs
whom we have mentioned, and should once
more rally upon the venerable and time honOred
champion Of our party-the daring, sagacious,
all .persuadng statesman and orator, HENRY

SiLvER.-Thc scarcity of this article is again
complained of in the northern papers
The New York Journal of Commerce, of Wed
nesday, says:
"Silver change has become very lately.
Yesterday shilIngs and smaller pieces were not
to be had in Wall street The few brokers who
fortunate as to have quarters got four per
cent. premium for them; and half dollars sold at
three per cent. premium; cents at par. Since the
bank panic very little silver has been brought in to
the market. II seems to be deposited in old mems
wallets and old women's stockings, and boarded
up against the evil days when Thompson's propho-
cies shall be fulfilled
And the Boston Courier of the Same date has the
following:
"a scarcity Of silver change has again become
annoying to every one whose family or personal
necessities require him TO ask change from a bank
bill for a small sum. Nobody has change-even
the market men cannot change bill unless the
purchase is inside Of seventy FIVE cents the dol
lar. What is the public to do for small change in
this dreadful scarcity OF silver"

JESNY LIND AND THE STAGE.-In contradiction
Of report that Jenny Lind contemplated return

Post publishes the following extract from letter
from Miss Lind herself, dated at Niagara Falls, on
the Sd instant:

returning TO the stage; and although usually treat
with perfect indifference the reports and sayings
Of writers in newspapers, otherwise, yet should
feel really thankful to you TO state that induce
ment whatever can tend to make me change my

[PaEsIDENr FILrMoRE's MESSAGE.

:" The Presidents message, at the opening OF the
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
. those associated with him in the Executive admin
istration of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures of last session That opinion is that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
final settlement Of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfections, yet, In their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
system of compromise the most conciiatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interests and
opinions and that therefore they should be ad-
hered to, until time ard experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion,
so far as | know, remains entirely unchanged,
and will be acted upon steadily and decisively.
The peace of the country requires this the Sc
curiy Of the Constitution requires this and every
consideration of the public good demands this.
II the Administration cannot stand upon the
principles of the message, il does not expect to
stand at all"-DANIEL WEBsTER's Letter 10 the
Onion Meeting al Wesichssfer.

Jo The Senate and House Of Representatives. ofths
TJpitsd States in Congress assembled: The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September 1850, tina, they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that thew do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that # patented to them. the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted TO sell the warrant
Your memoralsts further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun e.
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent 10 act f"r themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
Iigent and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may he SO modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
