Before the establishment of this Government,
and before or about the time that the Territory
which now constitutes the State OF Tennessee,
was ceded to Congress, the inhabitants OF the eus-
tern part of that territory established a govern
ment for themselves, and called It the State of
Franklin. They adopted verygood constitution,
divided into the usual branches OF legislative, ex-
ccutive, and judicial power. They laid and col
lected tlXeg, and performed other usual acts oil
legislation They had, for the present. it is true,
no naratime possessions, yet they followed tie
common forms in constituting high officers; and
their Governor was not only captnin-general and
comnander-in-c but admiral also-so that the
navy might haye commander when they should
have navy. a IT,.
The cum. ncr,t IN this State of Franklin, became
very much deHanged: Specie was scarce, and G.

Indian Summer.

A late author says that if alIusion to the beauti
full tints of autumn occur IN European writer's they
are notwittin the range of every day reading. An

they yield nothing else than sombre hueS and

both he and the earlier writers crown autumn with
"the sickle and the wheaton sheaf," as If the
harvest was the chief glory of September and
October. Indian summer IS an American "institu-
tion, and the glories of autumn forests are pecu-
liar to this continent. II was long ago noticed and
commented upon. and the whole brood of bards,
accredited by GTiswold OF known TO fame only in a
newspaper corner, have plumed their muse for
especial honor 10 this season. Since some early
obSeryer-a second Columbus-discoveredt the In
dian summer and the peculiar beauties of American
fall, "autumn, melancholy night" has been a
stranger TO the poets verse, and dim and dusky
colorg have given place to the gaudy and brilliant
eorunal of autumn, the pageant in honor of sum
mer,s prodigal fruits. But the splendol of the
forests, touched by the frt frostS, soon gives way
to the sere and foliage that falls thick as
leaves in VaIimbfoSai' and rides like sprite upon
the wniling wind, which whirls it through the
forest paths, the very symbol of desolation and
decay. These are, indeed, the melancholy days.

Prime Minister in England, to show that England
wns no longer TO be depended upon as an ally in
this intervention.
He referred to the remark by Mr. SEWARD, that
II was surprising that Louis Napoleon and Francis
Joseph Of Austria should be deeply impressed
with the virtues of Washington, and, after COM
menting upon it, said that to him the surprise was
not that tyrants should respect Washington, but
that Americans would refuse To vote for resolutions
setting forth nothing but his teachings of wisdom,
He denied that the extracts from the writings of
Washington. or the speeches Of Mr.. CLAY in the
House OF Representatives, quoted by Mr.. SEWARD,
sustained the doctrine of Intervention
He contrasted the wonderful sympathy mani
tested for Hungary and other foreign nations, and
the indifference which was paid to the sutferings
OF those at home, who, from the negligence OF the
Government, lost life and property the great
rivers Of the West.
Mr.. CASS defended himself and the positions
which had been attacked by Mr.. JONES. He read
from letter of Mr.. Jefferson TO show that he was
sustained in all his positions and doctrines OF pro
press by that gentleman. lie was pretty well ad-
vanced in the stage of old ogies and, if attacked
on the ground of these doctrines, he would
shelter himself behind that old fogy, Mr. Jefferson.
Mr., JONES said that the Senator from Michigan
had styled himself an old fogy. He, Mr. J.,) in
behalf Of the Senator from Illinois, (Mr. DoUGLAsD
protested against any Of the old fogies, whose doc
uines were old as to extend back to the days of
Noah, wearing the new clothes of the young pro-
gresslve Democracy.

subject was postponed till Monday next
