Commissioner Of Indian Affairs on tho other
on Friday last, Falmouth, Pillager Chip
pewa, told the President that ssthe whites

The recent pocket reto by the President of
the late act OF Congress making an appro-
priation for improving the St. Clair Flats,
IN Detroit river, is f most fragrant abuse Of
power by weak and unworthy Chief Magis
trate. The improvement referred to is en-
phatlcally national york, as the whole vast
commerce OF the Lakes has to pass over those
shoals The loss to the Northwestern States,
last year alone, by the detention Of vessels
IN not beng able to get over them, was one
million Of dollars. TO remedy this, the late
session OF Congress, by a two-thirds vote.
passed bill making an appropriation to re-
move the distractions there. But the Pres
ident, regardless alike of his obiiga-
tons to the constitution and of his duty to
the country, arbitrarily interposes his own
confused will, and defeats the will of the
people OF the United States. 1t is the one
mc:' poUer against the power Of the masses.
But, what makes the act moro heinous, is,
that at the same time that the President put
an act OF Congress, for the benefit of tho free
Northwest, into his pocket, and thus prevent
ca 1t from becoming law, he signed SIM
llar bill to improve Savannah River, in the
State OF Georgia. Every thing for the South
Is constitutional and proper, with this slay-
ery-fOsterlng and slavery extending Admin
lsstratIon, while in the North, the same
things are unconstitutional and improper
Durlnz the long session Of the last Congress,
me President signed bill 10 improve Cape
Fear River in North Carolina, while he retoed
the general River and Harder Bill, which a.
mong other things made an appropriation
10 improve the Rapids of our own Mssissip-
pi. Thus we 60. All We ask is, that the
people OF this country may veil ponder these
things, and act neutrality-suspicious. Ad-

AID AND COMFORT TO THE ADMINISTRATION,
by the election returns from New Hamp-
shire, given in our columns to-day, our read
ers will sse that she political tornado
which has swept over the north since the
preparation of the Nebraska outrage has
shaken the granite hills Of that State to some
purpose. Poor Pierce! repudiatcd on all
hands he still has to act President for two
years. And now that the people Of his own
State have repudiated his administration, he
is in worse predicament than the Prodi-
gal Son: for although he my eat husks and
repent, he has no home to return ito. With
much propriety may he cry out: ssThe birds
Of the air have nests, and the foxes have
holes, but have no place to lay my head"
From Iowa to Maine the people have
spoken, but no word Of comfort has fallen on
the Presidents ear. Let tho charge that
the President 10 fond of good liquor, be true
or false, one thing is certain, he has succeed
cd in getting his party on most magnificent
"bust." Ono result of the election in New
Hampshire will be the election Of John p.
Hale to the United State Senate. Fairfield

The most animated and exciting scenes Of
business prevailed on the Levee yesterday
and it was not only the most busy day of the
season thus far, but one Of the most stirring
ever known in our city in this locality. Late
on Saturday evening and On Sunday sixteen
boats arrived-exclusive of the Alton pack
cts. Five of these were Ohio river boats,
heavily laden with merchandise. Yesterday
there were thirteen arrivals, six of which
were from the Ohio river, al! loaded down
with manufactured articles. The boats
Aocksl in from all points. The Upper Mis-
siss;ppi, Missouri and Illinois rivers sending
their messengers with heavy cargoes of pro-
ducc. By eight o'clock yesterday morning
the Levse, from one end to the her, was
perfectly jammed with boats receiving and
dischargins cargoes. Freight piles accumu-
lated until there was but little room left for
the drays and other vehicles. The Levee
was many times entirely impossible even for
foot passengers merchandise, dray horses,
furniture cars, hacks and drivers were mixed
up in confused masses. The Ohio river boats
oil arrived with their cabins and decks crowd
cd with passengers for Kansas and Nebraska,
and these were. rushing for tho Missouri river
boats with their goods and chattles Is long
O. they could be received. At least one thou
sand persons arrived here yesterday, whose
destination was Kansas and Nebraska. This
exciting rush of business continued during
the whole day-to be resumed to-day, the
weather permitting, with the same vigor.

DISSOLVING THE UNION.
The Rochester American saws:

although 1.-Two wrongs never make anythins
right. yet wrong rarely fails to provoke angry
retaliation The true policy 10 to uphold the lawl
OF Cong and insist that all others whether In
Kansas, South Carolina or Massachusetts shall dc
hkewiss Sectionalism 10 not so popular either
South or North, the great noise made by its sd
vocates might lead one TO believe. Sober minded
men do not like the notion of breaking up the Fed
erai Government TO which ultrsism most ob yiou
tends. Abolition rule at the North and Nulifca-
tion rule at the South, promise the people roth
Ing better than they enjoy In peace and safety -
Politicians who talk 90 fppantly OF dissolviDg the
Union have anything rather than the confidence OF
Americans"
We have no doubt of the truth of this sen
timent. The American people have no sym.
patty with the spirit of sectionalism. The
sentiment of nationality is strong in their
hearts. But it is not just to place Northern
and Southern notification on the same level
The former is aggressive the latter is defen-
sive. With the one it is used as a weapon to
strike down the property and rights of the
other; with the other as weapon of self.
defence and selfpreservation.
The advantages and blessings of the Union
are incalculable. But should it fail to Sc
cure justice and equality to all its parts, null
LITIGATION would not be necessary to its over
throw. 1t would by its own nonfeasance
cease to be the Unien established by the
Constitution.
