The greatest of all these dangers arise from the Black Feet and other Indians, who are instigated to rob and murder our people by the British traders, who have almost exclusive possession cf our territories nt and beyond the Roi Uy mountains, and who carry off annually an immense wealth. Gen Ashley, in his first expedition in the year 1025, fell in with one of these British parties, which had fur in its possession to the value of 200,000. The number of men employed by the British in our territories is computed at about one thousand, and their annual depredations upon us, perhaps, about a million of dollars in money, besides exciting the Indians against us. f-lissouri paper.

THE PRESIDENT'S MES&1GE.
We are indebted to the friendly attc?
tibn of Mr. Buxton for a copy of the Presi
dent's Message, which wus delivered on f the 4lu int. It came to hand too late to 1 t
be published this week: it shall appear in our next. No otic, we are confident, can read this highly interesting and practical document,
without feeling gratitude for the prtlperlity which seems to nttend our national ca
reer; nor without feeling respect for the mind w hich dictated so luminous and able a paper. Comprehensive, discriminating and powerful, his Messages present a vivid and interesting view of our national affairs, and imbue the patriot's heart with a
juder kno vledge of the principles of our
government, and a more zealous attachm'it to his country. Our relations with foreign powers are conciliatory and gratifying. Having attained internal tranquility and ttrength, the character of our nation is respected ahroad, and she is enabled to assume an elevated stand among the nations of the earth. Alive to enlightened and benevolent principles of commci chl and nationI intercourse, our g'ivi rnment seizes up- ' n every opportunity to introduce them msIo ticatii s of amity and ciiiiini ce.

Sangamo Speclaicr Pittsburg 104 stam boats arrived, and 120departCv "rom Pittsburg, between the 2d day of Febjary and the 1st of July, 1027. The tonnage of the boats that de-

of what is doing in the internal trade of our country.

to a just estimate of the objects they have in view.
It would be diflicult to determine;
whether the appeal which has been made bv the society to the nation, addresses it self more powerfully to the slave or none slave holding stales; to the benevolence, the interest or the fears of the people. If the measure is (as we believe it to be) essentially national, then are we to all inter ested,and should be deeply concerned for its succes. There is nothing more evident, than the inability of the society, aided only by privntc charity, to carry their whole scheme into effect. If the object shall ever he fully accomplished, it n ust be by the aid of the strong arm of the g ' .j-nment, which is now invoked in its tL.,nlf I suggest to your wisdom whether tlf) state should not extend her helping hand. The expresion even of a fivorable opinion, will not be without its effect. Should this society not succeed in remo
ving the free people of color, to the land of
their fathers, it will be a question ol grave and solemn inquiry, how long Ohio will continue to tolerate the emigration (to her territory) of this unfortunate and degraded rr.ee Their rapid increase, has already give!, serious ahu m to many of our citizens it may even now be necessary for us (in self defence) to adopt some measures to counteract the policy of the slave states, which tends to throw from themselves upon us, the whole mass of their free colored population. Iron'. In the vicinity of Portsmouth, Ohio there are nine blast furnaces, and six forges. The Ohio iron is said to be of the best quality, and the ore is "exhaustless." Each furnace employs about 50 men, besides five or six strong teams, and will make from 5 to 700 tons of metal a year. What a valuable market do these works make for tho neighboring farmers? Rocky Mountaios. Gen. Ashley hae had a third return of furs from the Rocky Mountains, more valuable than either that proceeded it, probably worth 60 or $70,000.
