A WING GOVERNOR or MAINE

The Hon. WILLIAM GEORGE CROSBY, the Wing
candidate at the late popular Elections in the State
of Maine Friday last elected Governor of the
State by the Legislature, in session at Augusta
No choice having been made by the people, it became
the duty of the House of Representatives to place
before the Senate the names of two candidates, Sc
lected from the four who had received the highest
popular vote. The names of Mr.. CROSBY and OF
Governor HUBBARD, the late incumbent, were Sc
lected by the House, and the former was chosen
Governor by the Senate, the vote in that body being
Ii to IA
This result has been caused by divisions amongst
the Democrats, who, notwithstanding they have ma
jority in the House of Representatives, partly filled
the vacancies in the Senate with Wings so as to give
the latter majority in that branch Some of the
newspapers ascribe these divisions to the Maine
Liquor Law, whilst others attribute it to different

We avail ourselves of the earliest opportunity

ion Of the Supreme Court which has been the sub
ject of high commentator by distinguished states

States for money or supplies to be employed in MI
tary operations by citizens of this country against
the people territory of any Nation at the time in
amity with the United States,
Every who reads it will see at once the conse-
quences of this judgment Not to speak of its i'm
mediate effect upon existing contracts bonds, and
obligations which have been made, sold, and bought
in the prosecution of enterprises of the character
justly reprobated by this decision, it is easy to fore
see how extensive will be its influence in the future

the habit Of thinkingof no inconsiderable portion
of fellow-citizens. regard to the duty of ind

AFFAIRS IN FLORIDA.

The following interesting communication was
yesterday laid before Congress by the PRESIDENT
Of the United States
WASHINGTON, JANUARY Is, 1858.
20 ne Senate and House Of Representatives g the " States
have the honor herewith to transmit report from the
Secretary of the Interior from which appears that the
efforts Of that department induce the Indians remain
ing Florida to migrate to the country assigned to their
De west Of the Mississippi have been entirely unsuc-
oessfu The only alternative that remains is either
70 compel them by force to comply with the treaty made
with the tribe in May, 1882 by which they agreed to mi
CRATE within three years from that date allow the
arrangement made with them in 1872 referred in the
Secresarys report by which they were to remain in the
temporary occupancy of portion Of the peninsula until
the Government should fit to them continue
II cannot be denied that the withholding of large
portion of her territory from settlement is serious in
jury to the State of Florida and although ever since the
arrangement above referred to the Indians have mani
tested desire to remain at peace with the whites, the
presence OF people who may at any time and upon any
real or ancied proyocaon be driven acts of hostility
is source Of constant anxiety and alarm the nhab
tants on that border
There can be doubt ALSO that the welfare of the
Indians would be promoted by their removal from
rory where frequent collisions between them and their
evitabe.
On the other hand there is every believe that
any manifestations Of design to them by force
or to take possession Of the territory allotted to them
would be Immediately retaaed by of cruelty on the
defa.osloss Inhabitants
The number Of Indians now remaining in the State is
it is true, very nconsderable not exceeding it is be-
ieved five hundred but, owing to the great extent Of
the country occupied by them and its adaptation their
peculiar mode Of warfare force very dsproportioned to
their numbers would be necessary capture or expe
Them or even to protect the white settlements from their
incursions The military force now stationed in that
State would be inadequate to these Objects and if it
should be determined to enforce their removal or to
vey the territory allotted to them addition to it
would be necessary, the Government has but small
force available for that service. Additional appropra-
tons for the support of the army would also that event
be necessary.
For these reasons have deemed it proper to submit
the whole matter to Congress- for such action they may
deem best: WILLARD FILLMORE.

ntmates that the South generally is in favor of the

what must by this time be obvious to most persons
that the great majority of the South opposed to
its acquisition under the existing state of things

and the late interesting debate in Congress relative
to this subject, are indications of this sentiment
