other, we have been content, and comparatively happy, in the enjoyment of a most de!:gh:ful state of "heticccnilyP vibrating, l'ks the pendulum, between the two, but touching neither. In this position it would have been our choice to remain, had we been consulted in the matter. But we were not, and we now find ourselves deprived of the desirable privilege and pleasure of disinterested observers. We find that, through the treachery of professed friends, tho enemy re makin-r rapid inroads into our own pea-! ceable territorv, and the prospect now is that we shall soon be compelled to take up the weapons of political v.rarfare in our own defence; in defence of our civil and constitutional rights, or submit to be transferred, like merchandise, to the common enemy and curse to society. This we shall not submit to, "come weal or come woe."" Wc have thrown ourselves upon the faith and protection of tho friends of toleration. If they betray us, we must resort to our own resources. Masons arc equally divided among tiie friends of Mr. Clay and those of General Jackson ; and so long as these parties continue distinct from anti-masonry, there can be no concentration, no united co-operation of the Masons with either; but so soon as cither identifies itself with anti-masonry, so soon will the Masons, if we arc not mistaken in their character and firmness, be found united with the opposing party. This must necessarily be so. The Masons are a persecuted class of the community, and it is madness to suppose that they can be induced, by any considerations, however important in a local or national point of view, to co-operate with any party in raising their persecutors to power and influence. We spcakof Masons generally. Wc know there are those among us who would sacrifice .-their birth-rights to party considerations; but, thank heaven, they do not represent the Masonic fraternity, either in feeling or principle. It follows, therefore, that by the course pursued by the National Republican party in New-York, in identifying itself with anti-masonry, the Masons are necessarily driven into tho ranks of the administration . parly. Masons, as such, have nothing to do with politics; but when politics attempt to sacrifice them for party purposes, they are justifiable in uniting in their own defence. And. this will be the case wherever a coalition with anti-masonry takes place. Ma sons, possessing the spirit and integrity of men, will not vote lor anti-masons. They wjll not place men in power, whose avowed . purpose is to destroy them. This cannot be expected of them. In calculating the prospects of the coalition," it is, therefore, important that we keep this fact in view, viz: Masons and their friends the friends of toleration, of law and of government will not vote for candidates nominated by the anti-masonic party; and who are, consequently, pledged to sustain the principles and promote the views and purposes of that part)'. In the few words we have to say, in reference to the probable result of the elections in the several States where the coalition has been formed or is proposed to be formed, we shall express our views freely, and without stopping to consult the interests or wishes of either National Republicans or Jackson men. In this matter we care not a fig for either. We are opposed to anti-masonry; and if either or both of the other parties 'identify themselves with anti-masonry, they become opposed to us. And as the National Republicans in New-York, and some other States, have so identified themselves, we shall treat them as having in those States, become a constituent portion of the antimasonic party. They are, to all intents and purposes, one and the same having a common object in view the elevation of antimasons to office and power; arid, therefore, the proscription and disfranchisement of the members of tho Masonic fraternity . Pennsylvania. The gubernatorial elec tion in this state is between Gov. Wolf, th Jackson candidate, and Joseph Ritner, the anti-mason:c candidate. The National Re publicans have made no nomination. Gov. Wolf was elected the last year, we think, by a majority of 20,000 votes over Mr. Ritner, w!k was then, as now, the only opposing candidate ; and from what we can learn from the journals of that State, there is no satisfactory reason to believe that ho will receive a less majority at the approaching election. When Gov. Wolf went into oflicc, the State was involved m almost inextricable difficulties, in consequence of the rage for canalling which then prevailed. Immense works had been contracted for and commenced; but for the want of means, remained unfin- . ished. The credit of the State was nearly gone. This Gov. Wolf restored.

At the Presidential election in ioo,

Pennsylvania cast 152,500 votes. Of these Gen. Jackson received 101,052; giving him a majority over Mr. Adams, of 50,804 votes. The question is whether his measures, as President of tho United States, have been such as to produce so great i change in public opinion as would be necessary to secure the vote of the State to another candidate? We think not; particularly when that candidate is an antirnason; .and it is not probable that the National Republicans will run an Electoral ticket. His majority will probably be much less than at the election in 1823, though more than it would have been had not the National Republican party surrendered their claims into the hands of the anti-masons. The amalgamation will neutralize much of the opposition to the administration, and will prove to have been a most unfortunate transaction for the National Republican party. We are aware that this State is claimed by the anti-administra-tionists; but if the prospects of Gen. Jackson be as favorable in other States as they are in this, his friends need entertain no fears as to the result. So much for the amalgamation in Pennsylvania. New-Yokk. We have said enough already in regard to the amalgamation in this State, to show our opinion of its probable result. The administration candidate for Governor was nominated at Herkimer on Wednesday. We have not yet learned his name. Mr. Granger is the anti-masonic candidate, and a more popular man could not have been selected by the parly. He has as much personal popularity as any other man in the State ; and were he not the candidate of the anti-masons, his success would be highly probable. But as it is, ho cannot succeed. His chance of success is no better now than it was in 1830. He then had the aid of that portion of tho National Republican party who have now identified themselves with his anti-masonic friends; but he was defeated by a majority, if we recollect right, of from 15,000 to 20,000 votes. The result will not be very different at tae approaching election. In 1828, New-York cast 270,170 votes for President. Of this number Jackson re ceived 140,703 giving him a majority of 5,5uU votes. Without sroincr into narticulars, we will simply state as our opinion, that he will, at tho- approaching election, receive a majority, over the amalgamation, of not less than 8,000, and probably not less than 10,000 votes. Ohio. This State, in 1S28, cast 130,993 votes for Presidential electors. Of which Jackson had a majority of4,201 . The State is entitled to 21 electoral votes. The National Republicans have adopted tico of the candidates for electors nominated by the anti-masons. And it seems to be generally admitted that these will be elected. They may be, though for reasons that it is not important here to state, we must beg leave to doubt the correctness of the admission. If they should be, the two votes will be given to Mr. Wirt; Jackson will receive the remaining 19. AVc believe, however, he will carry the whole State by an increased majority. This is only our belief, and the reader can attach just so much importance to u as he pleases. Amalgamation with anti-masonry, icill not add to the strength of the opposition to the administration. Vermont. The votes of this State will probably be given to Wirt. It is of no use to attempt to conceal tho fact, the State is anti-masonic, root and branch. We are willing to hope that its citizens will recover their senses before the election takes place ; but we can see no evidence to justify the hope. Rhode Island. This State will undoubtedly give her vote to Mr. Clay. Her interests are so intimately identified with his success, that, notwithstanding the present distracted state of parties there, wc confidently believe the people will be more united in they choice of Presidential electors. But, if they be not, a plurality elects. Massachusetts. Of the elections in this State, it is unnecessary for us to say any thing. If the National Republicans eschew anti-masonry, they will be safe enough. Any coalition with the men or principles of that taction, may endanger the safety of the National Republican party. Nothing else can. These are the only States where a coalition with anti-masonry has been talked of. We have given our views of the probable re sult of the elections in them, with much freedom. They probably differ materially from the views entertained by many of our readers. A few weeks will settle the difference. OT" Since writing the above, wo have seen it stated in tho papers that the NationI . i ap Republican candidate for Governor in Ohio has declined in favor of the anti-ma-a sonic candidate, and that the two mrties will also unite on one Electoral ticket. We believe the effect of this will be to secure the whole vote of the State to Jackson; wnereas, by the other arrangement, two of the 21 votes, might have been considered doubtful. The fact that only too of lb tl-masonic candidates had been adopted by the National Republicans, left the impression that those two were not. in firt nnliiision that tnosc two were not, in fact, politi i 1.-1,1., a...:.. r , ! probably give their votes for But ihc adoption of ihe whole moves all doubt on that score, r the means of uniting the whole n iiuuiv 11 v u 1 nun viu.'s i- 1 1 nr ticket reand will be onnosilion - ! to anti-m"srnrv mi tUr ;ulmiriiviriirn .!,. l: - i dales.

From the St. Joseph Beacon. Michigan Boad. We are much pleased to see this Road so rapidly progressing. The contractors deserve much credit for the manner they have so far prosecuted the work. They have many difficulties to overcome, particularly those who have contracts between this place and Logansport. The terms of the contracts were such the country so new, and the provisions for the maintenance of laborers so scarce and so high that it was thought by many that a few of the contractors would lose money but

.' we are informed that by perseverance they will make it a very fair business. 11ns road is of vital importance to this part of tho St. Joseph Country. When completed, it will be as a great artery leading from the southern to the northern part of the state, through which the emigration from tint quarter will flow to the luxuriant Prairies of the St. Joseph. It will .be almost incalculable advantage to South Bend and Logansport each are deeply interested in its rapid progress and completion, hot any person look on the map of our State and examine the geographical situation of these two points and then refrain, if he can from ac knowledging that they have as many promi nent advantages as any other towns in the far west. South Bend, situated on the Great St. Joseph at the nearest point to the V abash River must, so soon as this road is completed, (which according to the con tracts' will be the present lull) become .the depot for all the merchandise consumed in the Wabash country. We have water communication with tho city of New York. Merchandise' will be wagoned from this point to Logansport and then re-shipped on board light boats and conveyed down the Wabash. Let any merchant make the calculation and he will find that this can be done at least 33 per cent, cheaper than he now pays for its transportation down the Ohio and up the Wabash. Let but one merchant make the trial andwc are confident that all in the upper Wabash witt follow the example. This, then, will necessarily make South-Bend a commercial point ; and, being surrounded by as good a country as could be wished; tho prediction is not visionary to say that the day is not distant when it will be second to but few towns in the State. From the Indiana Democrat. Letter from the Editor dated Treaty Ground, Mouth of Little Riccr, September 10, 1832. The Commissioners, Indian Agents and Indian Traders are assembled on the Reservation of Chief Richardville, about 50 miles above Logansport on the Wabash, at the Mouth of Little river, and the Miami tribe of Indians have met them for the purpose of treating for a cession of their lands. This tribe now consists of about twelve hundred souls. It has been increasing in numbers for the last two years, and within that period the increase has been near fif ty souls per year. Ihere is yet an uncertainty as to the result of the treaty, the Indians not having expressed any of their views, neither have the public councils been held. They are at present feasting in their wigwams, and consulting among themselves, but expect to meet in public council in a day or two. The country which they hold is of the most desirable character, and they are well apprised of its value. The number of visitors is large, and they are highly amused by the eccentricities of these sons of the forest, who are constantly engaged in some of their sports and recreations. I have witnessed several of their dances, but can give but a faint description on paper of an exercise which is rendered interesting alone by tho peculiar appearance of those who compose the group. One or more fires aro kindled at nioht, and the Indians dressed in the most gaudy manner, with neally worked leggings and mockasins, red and blue coats, blankets and fringed hunting shirts, with heavy appenda ges of bells and silver ornaments, commence a march or dance around the fires, and although the train may be quite small at first they gradually fall in, and from one to two hundred are frequently engaged in one circle. The squaws and men join promiscuously in the dance, and appear to enjoy it with as much zest as do our white gentlefolks at their assembly balls and cotilion partics. Their music consists of a drum composed of a common keg with a skin strcached over one end ; and a regular beat is kept up by some of the elder Indians. In addition thereto many of the Indians are constantly engaged in the repetition of a dull monotonous tunc or sound, which is occasion ally enlivened by a general shout or whoop. They appear to have a strong prcdcliction for fine dress and fine horses, and some of them are perfectly loaded with heavy feathers or plumes and silver ornaments. The females have a peculiarly modest appearance, and are . dressed in fine scarlet and silks, with many very ingenious and beautiful specimens of ornamental needle work and beads. They are generally of rather small stature, and seem to give implicit obedience to their husbands. Their chiefs govern all their views of policy and justice, and many of them are men of education, shrewdness and sagacity. No spiritous liquors are allowed to be brought within 20 miles of tho treaty ground, and great order and decorum lias thus fur prevailed here. Ohio. The movements of the Nationals in this State are at once curious and ominous. The Columbus Journal says, a candidate for Governor in the room of Duncan M'Arthur, declined, will soon be nominated ; while tho Cincinnati Gazette hoists tho flag of Darius Lyman, tho Anti-Masonic candidate for Governor. The names of Clay, Sergeant, and Lyman, appear in one ticket, in the Gazette of the 20th inst. Defeat certain defeat must follow the movements of the opposition in Ohio. At Columbus they are for nominating a fresh candidate for Governor at Cincinnati they arc forsup-

porting the Anti-Masonic candid.de r.nd, to complete the work of confusion, they

have two electoral tickets nominated fed-! oral and Anti-Masonic neither of which can be withdrawn. Hammond sees "how tho cat is hopping," and consequently enacting Don Furiosso. Louisville Adrerther. Bank Favoritism. The Branch of tho United States Bank at Pittsburgh, like those at Lexington and Louisville, had adopted the rule of curtailing very much her discounting operations in obedience wo suppose, to instructions irom tho mother Bink fluring the pendency of which rule, one of its Directors applied to a neighbor to endorse notes to the amount of $V000, with a bill for $2,500 (amounting in tho aggregate to ,C10,500) which he intended presenting for discount. Tho neighbor, after he had endorsed tho notes ami bill, thought that the opportunity would be favorable to his obtaining a discount for himself; as the Bank would haully accommodate tho one without accommodating the other also; and accordingly, with the Bank Director as his endorser, prepared a note for discount, for $2,500. These several notes and the bill, amounting in all to $13,000, were presented to the Bank, and the money obtained upon the whole of them; notwithstanding that very Bank had time after time refused to discount the best paper for only a few hundred dollars. Tho applicants tho were not Directors. Kentucky Sentinel PROSPECT IN THE WEST. The western vote will stand about thus: ron jackson.

It will be seen from the above that Smith, the Jackson candidate for governor, Ins not lost, ground since last year, as has been assorted by the National presses. Put the result plainly shows that the Clay party have made a most desperate effort to carry the election, while the Jackson party, confident of their strength, made no extraordinary exertion, and hence tho apparent increase of Goodcnow's vote. The Nationals have nowdone their best, and are left behind considerably at tho presidential election tho Jackson ticket will triumph by a very handsome majority. Missouri Election. Tho Western Monitor, published at Fayette, Mo., gives the names of tho members of the Senate and House of Representatives, elected in that State, and concludes with the following recapitulation and remarks: Recapitulation House of Representatives, For Jackson and Benton, 38 members.

Mr. Bates, one of the Representatives in Congress from tho State of Maine, in an address to his constituents, makes the following remarks: "From tho freouent inquiry which Ins been made as to mv opinion of (Jen. - Tack son, since I have had an opportunity to ob serve him more closely, it is reasonable to believe that a few words on the subject may not be improper. 'Having had frequent opportunities of observing this venerable man, I have lormed the following opinion : That he is as honest a man as lives. That ho uses all tho powers of a sound mind to ascertain what is right, and when satisfied on that point, he pursues it as certainly as the heavenly bodies perform their revolutions. Ho neither solicits nor shuns responsibility. He has the most unbounded confidence in the di:s-

lerrnmrr.t and rectitude of il.- A,,. NV".rt j people, and believes tho only w;it tub ; w

of their support is, to do right f'ail.Kly, 'uinwcd bv threats, and unintlucnced by hope of favor or nffction. Tint lib ;;cti have proved, and 1 doubt not will continue to prove that 4ho has more of th? old Roman in him, than any i:vn now Jiving. ' With all the open and frank $;mpliiy of a farmer, he combines the powerful intellect and unbending integrity of the highcM ornaments of our nee, which h ive gone brlbro him. Such is the man, s fir ns 1 hrvii been nblo to judge, f 1'ow citizens, who now stands before you, reposing alone on Irs spoilers integrity, and your siue of justice, awaiting your sentence. Against him is arrayed the remnant of every party which Ins ever harassed tho tranquility of the nation, aided by every engine of power r.nd popular prejudice from the U, S. 11 ink, down to the hypocritical cant ot a birt day resolution. Th3 following article, which wo take from the Salem la. Annotator, will show tho zeal of the Nationals in this state, and I ha means resorted to by them to keen up a show of strength. Tho Madison Republican contains a call, signed by 228 persons, for an Anti-Yeti meeting in Jefferson county. This is another of the tew strong bol:s of Mr. Chy in Indiana. Without disputing that ho has this number of friends in that county, or feeling any alarming apprehensions at the terrible array of names, wc would merely inquire if considerable exertions were "not. used to obtain them, and if all are actually citizens of that county ? Wo have been informed by a gentleman who passed through Madison a week or two since, that be was terribly beset by a man in tho streets of that town to sign tho liforcsid piper, who even after be was told by the individual addressed, that he was a citizen of Kentucky, still insisted that he should give him his name as it would have the same effect cs if he belonged to tho county. Such are the propensities of the opposition for thow. A scene at the battle of the Bad .ljr. When our troops charged the enemy in their defiles near the bank of tho Mississippi, men, women and children were seen mixed together in such manner as to render it difficult to kill one, and save the other. A young squaw of about 10 years, stood in tho grass at a short distance fiom our line, holding her little girl in her arms, about 1 year old. While thus standing apiMirently un.I v . . . 'concerned, a baa struck the nirht arm ol tho child above th? elbow and shattering tho bone, passed into the heart of its young mother which instantly felled her to tho ground. She fell upon the child and confined it to the bed also. During the whole battle this babe was heard to groan and call for relief; but none had time to afford it. When however, tho Indians bad retreated from that spot, and the battle bad nearly subsided, Lt. Anderson, of the United States Am.y, went to tho sjot and took from under the dead mother her wounded daughter,and brought it to ihe place we had selected lor dressing wounds, and placed it there for surgical aid. It was soon as certained that its arm must come off, and the operation was performer! without drawing a tear or a shriek. Tho child w.ss eating a piece of a hard biscuit during the operation. It was brought to Prairie chi Chien, and wc learn that it has nearly recovered. Tins was one among tho many scenes calculated to draw forth a sympathetic tear for huhim misery. ' Gallauan. Indian Tiir.vnr-?. - We are informed hy a gentleman just from the Treaty Ground, that nothing hr.s yet been done; few Indians aro on the ground, they are expected however in a few days, when a Treaty will be commenced with a strong probability ofa successful termination.
