p XS VI.V A N I A .F 11 V. U M A SON R Y. Geobok M. Dallas, F.sq. of Philadelphia, was (unimoneJ before the investigating committee at Hjrr slniriih; he appeared at the stand, but refused to be soni. The following are his reasons: Gctikmcn of the Commit!? I a n a citizen of Pennsylvania by birth and conjtjnt residence. Having imbibed in early youth, still retain a strong sense of the free spirit of her institutions; and am unconscious of ever having, directiv, intentionally or inadvertently committed an art. or enttiued a sentiment, repugnant to her con.tiition, inconsistent with her laws, injurious to 1 or m irals, or derogatory of her character. 31y ... .......j.'fi ic tii .1. tl.rt tvliili iinrtfr pvUt-

crecy; and I cannot, without a sense of treachery and degradation which would embitter all my future life, prove false to my promise. Better by far endure the penalties of afluged contumacv, be they what they may. I have thought it due to the committee and to myself to preface, by these explanatory remarks, my refusal to be sworn. . M. DALLAS.

AUDI (JTIOX. About three weeks ago an industrious negro man who had accumulated property to the amount ofo or 000 dollars, with his wife and children, was forcibly carried from his housein Posey county, about ten miles from Mt. Vernon, la. and "the woman and children sold as slaves. It is stated that five citizens of Posey county were engaged in the nefarious act. One of the gang who was a near neighbor to the negro, v.-ent into his house at 10 or 11 o'clock at night, leaving the others at the door, and pretended that he wanted to hire the negro to chop wood. The negro who was in bed and his wife engaged in spinning, became alarmed on discovering a "pistol in the hand of his visitant at that late hour, and reached up iV took down his rille which was hang

ing at the hend of his bed, and while presenting it

protracted interviews, at his bedside, between him and Mr. Forsyth. V ell, we suppose in this lamentable case the homily must be we could have better spared a better man. IJut we are inclined to think the public will doubt the authenticity of the intelligence it comes not from an ollicial source. The thread of the .Major's fate was not confided to the 'Commercial,' but to Dwight,of the Daily Adversitiser, and till the latter extends the scissors, we must still consider the -Major's precious life as safe. Hut light as the subject may appear, there is something to be learned from it of the characteristics of nations. It is a matter of fact, that the writings and the l:fe of 'Jack Downing,' were received by the 1'ngiish as belonging to a real tlesh and blood personage, and the down east' vernacular of the .Major's letters cjuoted as evidence of the low state ol literature and society in the Inited States. On the face of the earth (Uncivilized portion of it.) we belive there is not a more gullible race, with all their haughtiness, self-conceit and contempt of other nations, than the John Hulls o f Fanny KcmLle's"c!ear" l'nuland.

more terrible than the rifle to persuade them to abide by a treaty which they never made, and to cross the 3Iississippi never to return. The spirit of their tribe the Great Spirit walking in the sky tells them that they must perish. The voice of their fathers calls them to their heme the only home which the white maii has '.eft them the grave. The preventive power of this government is nothing: hut its vengeance is terrible. as the poor Indian has more than once experienced. Preparations are making not for the defeat of the Seniinolos. but for their extermination. F.very Indian and every negro suspected of having been allied to the Indians, will be slaughtered in less than two months from this time.'' Alas! for the lied Jlan! Mis race is nerly run: and the final story of his prowess and his wrogs. mav soon be written.

You cannot do it at all, w ith safety,, said the Lawyer; but if you fee me handsomely and implicitcly follow my advice, I shall protect you safe from the law; with this the gentleman complied, w hen the lawyer, said "let her mount a horse, and hold the bridle and whip; do you then mount behind her, and you are safe, for she runs n way with you.

Little Delaware in Motion. On Tuesday last, the friends of General Harrison held a public meeting in the city ol Wilmington, w hich is represented by the Delaware State Journal, to have been very large. The people from fifteen and twenty miles distant, came to the meeting. F.loquent addresses were delivered by William M'Catiley and Richard II. Hayard, Esq. We perceive the names of several prominent friends of Gen. Jack

son in the proceedings, which w ill be found in today's paper. The State Journal of Friday, says: "We have letters from intelligent gentlemen in Kent and Sussex counties, and also information from different parts of Xewcastle county, by which we learn that the nomination of WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON" is strongly approved throughout the state. Sussex is already in motion. A meeting was held at Georgetown, and resolutions passed in favor of "Old Tippecanoe," by acclamation!'" Delaware has three counties; two have

He! already spoken, and a countv meeting is to be held

tbis day in Sussex, to appoint delegates to a ctate; Convention. So it seems that Delaware has joined herself to the Democratic states of Pennsy lva- j nia, Maryland and Indiana, notwithstanding tbe predictions of the federalists. Pennsylvania Iniclligeneer.

: think it proper, for the information of our rea

Such an oiler could not indeed well I e declined bv anv Nation not disposed to pl.n e it-cll cnt of the pale of the law of Nations. The rciulu' must, how ever, boar in mind that, between Nations, Mediation and Arbitration are not the same thing.
