It is gratifying to see the utter harmlessness of the Nullification "manifesto upon our citizens, in town and country. JVe have seen a great many of them, and we have not seen one yet, that did.not seem perfectly to understand it. It is lost powder, to a dead certainty. Messrs. Biair, Drayton and Mitchell will probably address the people upon the subject, and show the rational and common sense side of the picture; and vet we almost wish thev would not. It seems too much like questioning the intellect of South Carolina to meet such a paper with an argumentative contradiction. The professed Nullifiers bv divine right, will believe this or any other document signed by Hayne and M'Duftie, rid matter what; and as toothers as to the coei rnd unprejudiced,' they cannot believe it. It is an impossible as to believe that 1 multiplied into itself is 24. Camden Journal. The Vote of New York. Wo arc authorized to offer a bet of ,$'100 that Andrew Jackson will receive the vote of New York for President, and $100 that he will receive votes enough to elect him without those of New York. Those who place any confidence in the statements of his opponents respecting it and who are not opposed to the practice of betting, can have an opportunity of. backing their opinion.' Boston Morning Post. The Xhllife.-s. The New York Courier is much alarmed lest South Carolina should nullify the hws. We have no fears on that .point there Is much greater probability that her political men will nullify themselves. When people become so infatuated as to contend that the reduction of the revenue six or seven millions of dollars, increases their burdens j argument would but be wasted on them.

FOR THE PALLADIUM. Soliloquy of a Fence .lln, (fokukrly a clay max.) Stfae A Fence. Man sitting on a rail in front of a store on High Street. To vote or not to vote that's the question; whether 'tis nobler in mo to let Andrew take the chair without any elVort of my poor self or to take arms against the "scum and filth" of Ins adherents, and by opposing make his election uouoiy sure. To vote to make a ticket nay more for by that vote, what foes may I createwhat sleepless nights such men as I am are heirs to. Tis a consummation devoutly to be wish'd that all men should think like me for in their thinking what harvest might I reap, while I sit snug at homo, deliberating on my superior skill in manag2mcnt. 1 here is respect I owe my neighbors but curse the parly, who thus proscribes the independent thinker for should I vote against "the rabble "die poalings- and pairings' "the off scouring" what misgivings I should have for who could bear the grins and laughs and taunts of the successful, "the insolence of office seekers and the spurns the great must oft take of the unworthy, while I myself might my quietus make with mere type and black ball who would these things bear? But then the dread of being on the weak side puzzles the brain and makes me rather sit upon the fence Fm on, than fly to either side, until I know which is the strongest Thus fear does make a fence tnan of me and thus my resolution's fixed. With this expression of my own re grets, I turn away 1 will not vote at all. Cato. nit GLORIOUS TRIUMPH. uWc hate met the enemy and they are ours." Upon a comparison of the polls from the different counties in the State, on Thursday last, at Frankfort, the aggregate vote for Governor and Lieutenant Governor stood as follows: Breathitt,Buckner, - 40,081 39,121 Breathitt's majority, Morehead, Taylor, - - 1.2(50 40,046 37,452 Majority, A maiority - 2,591 of Twelve Hundred and Sixty for the Republican candidate, against the Bank party and Mr. Clay, will be hailed throughout the Union as a victory, as splendid and cheering as it was unexpected abroad. The lion has been bearded in his den. Mr. Clay's own State, his own neighbors and countrymen, disgusted with his principles, and ashamed of the man, have abandoned him to the fate which his unprincipled course has so justly merited. Who will now lift up a voice in his behalf? His party lias dwindled down to a band of hungry desperate office-hunting "leaders" tcithout followers. It would he madness to renew the struggle for him in Kentucky; and will the other States of the Union countenance the pretensions of a man forsaken, and cast off as unworthy of confidence at home? It cannot be believed. The convention now "getting up" at Lexington, is designed entirely for effect abroad. The evolution is perfectly understood here. The decisive majority of Col. Breathitt, not only over Judge Buckner, his immediate competitor, but over Morehead, the Bank candidate for Lieutenant Governor,' has left no doubt with the friends of Mr. Clay, as to the vote of this State in November next. But a show of zeal and confidence is to be kept up in Kentuck)', with a view to delude his friends in othcrparts of the Union, and urge them on in the hopeless contest in which they are engaged. Darkness and shadows hang upon Mr. Mr. Clay's prospects in every quarter of the Union. The great "drfy of accounts" i3 at hand, when one burst of popular indignation throughout the republic, will close his political life when amid the curses of his betrayed country, he will, in his degradation, make some atonement for the "Bargain" of 1824, and for the countless acts of subsequent profligacy for which he has been distinguished. He need not call upon the mountains to cover him the people are sitting in judgment upon him, and he cannot escape the rod of their chastisement. Long, long will his deeds and his doom be remembered by the politicians of America. Louisville Advertiser. j "Ingratitude, thou marble-hearted fiend.!!" ineireaimeni wnicii Judge .Buckner is now receiving from the Clay presses in Kentucky, must be to him mortifying in the extreme. He has sacrificed the high office that, he held expended his money kept the faith of his party, and fought for them an arduous and toilsome battle, and what are his rewards?" Is lie thanked for his exertions? Is he cheered and consoled in his defeat by a single voice that speaks tho accents of gratitude or friendship? No! He is calumniated by the very men at whose instance, and for whose advancement he has sacrificed every thing. Resolved to dissemble and deceive to the last, they declare that Kentucky is still devoted to "Mr. - Clay that Judge Buckner has been defeated, not by Mr. Clay's unpopularity, but by his own umcorthinessby his religious bigotry. How unkind thus to taunt, insult and trample upon the feelings and fame of a friend who has served them faithfully, and who has covered himself with reproaches and misfortune for their sake! How false their hypocritical declarations! Judue Buckner was called to the canvass from the bench of the Supreme Court of our State. Was this an evidence of his unworthiness? He had served six years in the Congress of the United States Wras this proof that he lacked personal popularity? With the whole State before
them out of which to make their selection,
the Clay convention nominated him as the strongest candidate that could be chosen from their ranks. Who will believe after these proud testimonials in his behalf, that Judge Buckner was not a popular man? None. He occupied an elevated stand before the people possessed unquestionable talents was an eloquent speaker, and enjoyed an extensive and solid reputation as a statesman. Surrounded by all these powerful recommendat ions to popular favor, he has been signally defeated not by any unvvorthincss of his own but by the despe rate cause to which he was attached by the odious principles he was compelled to advo cate. , Thus Mr. Clay has ever served his friends. Cold, heartless und inordinately selfish bynature, he flatters and caresses his advocates while they are able to serve him to advantage in prosecuting his projects of ambition. But the stricken deer is forsaken and left alone no hand extracts the rankling barb, or pours a balm into the wound. The fal len, down trodden friend is abandoned to his fate; he is cast off as broken arms from the tilt yard useless worthless calum niated and despised. Adversity has over taken Jud?e Buckner devotion to Mr. Clay has smitten him to the ground. He looks around for those who drew him into the combat, for whom the bolt was invoked upon his head; and who, while his fortunes were fair, and hopes flattering, crowded around as patrons and parasites. But lol they are gone they vanished with the sun shine of the hour: he hears their voice it is the voice of slander of foul reproach. Even the mouth piece of Mr. Clay at Lex infrton, is heard to say in substance "I know vou not." His character is to be im molated, in the vain hope that such a step will prop for a few months the tottering reputation of Mr. Clay. We anticipate that the approaching convention at Lexington will give the finishing blow to tlic work thus began. The total overthrow with which the party is threatened in Kentucky, will be attributed solely to the odium resting upon Judge Buckner. The concerted attcmut thus made, to de ceive the American people, will be worse than futile. It is laughed at here as un speakably ridiculous abroad, they hope the credulity of the public will be duped by the stratagem, shallow and shameless as it is. That Judge Buckner, was religious, is true, but religion in Kentucky is no crime no disparagement to character. The question was fairly made upon the measures of the administration upon the Bank Veto, and their advocate triumphed not only over Judge Buckner but received a larger number of votes than the Clay candidate for Lieutenant Governor.

The tables are now turned and show, compared with last year, a loss of Clay strength on joint ballot equal to twenty votes. Add this to the election of Breathitt in Kentucky and Mr. Clay's gain in the west will show but a poor prospect for his friends elsewhere. lnd. Democrat. The Lexington and Ohio Rail Road.

The road is completed entirely only about one mile and a half, from it3 termination in the city; either portions are in a state of great forwardness, and will be ready for the car in a few days, which will make the whole distance completed about 3 miles. The car travels at the rate of about ten miles an hour. Lexington Observer, August 10. Smoking. Our friends in Fall River seem determined to prevent the Cholera appearing among them if human exertions can avail. The order now is to fumigate all passengers from Providence, notwithstanding they may make objections. Last Thursday they were smoked with a compound of rosin, and other villainous ingredients, to the great offence of their nostrils, and damage of their wearing apparel. A lady who went from Troy to Providence returned on Thursday and had to undergo the aforementioned fumigation, which entirely abstracted the colour from a beautiful new pink dress.

Indian War!
From the Galenian. Arc. 0. Having just returned from tl war, we have it in our power to impart some cheering intelligence. The whole army under Gen. Atkinson cmhrardnc the brhndos rnmmmilcil liv ?rnrr. als Henry, Posey, and Alexander; and the i rj o - ..... . j squadron under Gen. Dodd all crossed 1 over to the north side of the Ouisconsin at I Helena, on the 28th and 29lh ult. Thev took a line of march in a northeilv direction, in order to intersect the Indian trail. At a distance of about five miles the mcti trail
was discovered, leading in a direction X oficrm.v starU U to P tJmvn 1(1 rramc du W. towards the Mississippi, and supposed to j "ien, (about 40 mile) and wait for further
be about four days old. Gen. Atkinson seeing the direction of tho enemy, knew well that it would require all diligence and expedition to overtake them before they would cross the Mississippi ; and hence commenced from that lime a forced march; leaving all baggage wagons, and every thing else which was calculated to retard the pursuit. The country through which the Indian trail led our army between the Ouisconsin bluffs and tho Kickapoo river, was one continued scries of mountains. No sooner had they reached the summit of one high and almost perpendicular hill, than they had to descend on the other side, equally steep, to the base of another. Nothing but a deep ravine, with muddy banks, separated these mountains. The woods both upon the top of the highest mountains and deepest hollow?, was of the heaviest growth. The under bushes were chiefly thorn and prickly ash. This is a short description of the route, and shows tho difficulty of the pursuit. Notwithstanding all this, our army gained on the enemy daily, as appeared from the enemy's encampments. The tcdions march thus continued was met by our brave troops without a murmur: and as the Indian signs appeared more recent, the officers and men became anxious to puph on. On the fourth night of our march from Helena, and at an encampment of the enemy, was discovered an old Sac Indian by our spies, who informed them that the main body of the enemy had on that day gone to the Mississippi, and intended to cross on the next morning, August 2d. Tho horsc3 being nearly broken down, and the men nearly ex hausted from fatigue, Gen. Atkinson ordered a halt for a few hours, (it being after 8 o'clock) with a determination to start at 2 o'clock for the Mississippi, about 10 miles distant. At tho precise hour the bugles sounded, and all were ready to march. Gen. Dodge's squadron was honored with being placed in front, the Infantry followed next, Gen. Henry s Brigade next, Gen. Alexanders next, and Gen. Posey's formed the rear guard. Gen. Dodge called for, and soon rcceivcd, twenty volunteer spies to go ahead of tlc whole army. In this order the march commenced, they had not, however, gone more than five miles before one of our spies came back, announcing their having come in sight of tho cuemy's picket guard. He went back, and intelligence was quickly conveyed to Gen. Atkinson, then to all the commanders of the brigades, and the celerity of the march was instantly increased. In a few moments more the firing commenced at about 000 yards altead of the front of the army, between our guards and the Indian picket. The Indians were driven from hill to hill, and kept up a tolerably brisk firing from every situation commanding tlie ground over which our spies had to march, but being charged upon and routed from their hiding places, they sought safety by retreating to the main ! body, on the bank of the liver, and joined in one general effort to defend themselves there or die on the ground. Lest some might escape by retreating up or down the river, General Atkinson very judiciously ordered General Alexander and General Posey to form the right wing of the army, and march down to the river above the Indian encampment and then move down. Gen. Henry formed the left wing and marched in the main trail of the enemy. The U. S. Infantry and Gen. Dodge's squadron of the mining troops marched in the j centre. With this order our troops descended the almost perpendicular blurf, and camc into a low valley heavily timbered, with a large growth of under brush, weeds and grass. Sloughs, deep ravines, old loss, &c. were so plenty as to afford every facility to the enemy to make a strong defence. General Henry first came upon and commenced a heavy fire, which was returned by the enemy. The enemy being routed from their first hiding places, sought others. General Dodge's squadron and the U. S. troops soon came into action, and with Gen. Hen ry's men, rushed into the strong defiles of the enemy, and killed all in their way, except a few who succeeded in swimming a slough of the Mississippi, 150 yards wide. During this time, the brigades of Generals Alexander and rosey, were marching down the river when they fell in with another part of the enemy's army, and killed and routed all that opposed them. The battle lasted upwards of three hours. About 50 of the enemy's women and children were taken prisoners, and many by accident in the battle, were killed. When the Indians were driven to the bank of the Mississippi, some hundreds of men, women, and children plunged into the river, and hoped, by diving, &x. toesc3pe the bullets of our guns, very few, however, escaped our sharp shooters. " Tlie loss on the side of the enemy, never can be exactly ascertained, but according to the best computation, they must have lost in killed, upwards of 150. Our loss in killed and wounded was 27. Some had crossed the river before our arrival, and we learned by a prisoner, that Black Hawk, while the battle waxed warm, had stolen off, and gone over the river from

On Thursday last v? saw 250 youm Eivdifdi women embark near London Bridge in the steamboat Pearl to be conveyed on board the Princess Koval which was Iving at nnchorin tho Thames near Deptfoid, and destined for Hobart Town, the capital of Van Dieman's Land. This beautiful company of emigrants will be a vahiabb acquisition to the colony, where the male sex predominates in the proportion of at least seven to one. The expenses cf this voyage will bo paid in part by tho government, and partly by the several parishes to whichthcy belong; and every thing Ins been provided to render the p.ss?ge of these pretty emigrants as comfortable a possible. An immenso crowd arscmbkd on the quays to see them depart, and undo tho air resound with their shout, to which the Iroopnof girls responded by waiving their handkerchiefs over their heads. They were in high spirits, and appeared to go without regret. Some ofthem might indeed sigh in secret; but tho hope of rinding something in another hemisphere? to make amends for a lover, often faithless, whom they abandoned in this, consoled 'them for the mournful separation. They aro preparing another vessel to receive a similar cargo of voung women for the same colony; and it is supposed that it will not bo the cnly expedition of that kind which will bo undertaken with that destination. Women are superabundant in Kngland; they find no situation which can furnisit them with an employment, and lhel'nlislc government encourages their emigration, which will have tho double advantage of increasing the population of a colony and preserving from dishonor the voung females of poor families.

The ahrive is copied from the Vinccnnes Gazette of the 1 1th instant, and is noticed alone for the purjxe of correcting the erroneous impressions it may give abroad. Mr. Bonner, a Clayile, has surely born elected by a majority of seventeen vote?, and this majority too," obtained, as Mr. Hill very Well knows by tho exertions of at least three prominent Jackson men supporting him, and without which ho could not have been elected. Knox county has at all linu-tf been very near equally divided upon the Presidential question. At the last Presidential election Jackson's majority was probably not more than 15 or 20. At the election in" November coming, his friends may rest satisfied that his majority will ho increased not alone in old Knox, but throughout tho State. Western fa. Sun. General James Findlay, of Cincinnati Ohio, has declined being a candidate lor re-election to the next Congress. It i.n rare ly the case that three brothers have tho pleasure of meeting in Congress at tho ?amo time. Such was the fact with three of tho Findlay family.
