have only room at pre ent lor the following extracts; Tun next Prksidkxcy. Wc have thus far refrained from saying any thing on this subject: not because we were undecided or bad no choice, te:t because we did not believe that we could either benefit the titan of our choice, or do the party to which we belong any service by pressing his claims at this particular time, but raiher an injury. The time, however has ariived when we may speak onrsentimenf. Did we remain longer silent, we would be doing injustice to our readers, an-.l injustice to the country at lari-e. The daily decided manifestations indifferent section? of the country in favor of Gkn. Wii.ihm Hfnrv Makrisox, as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, cannot be overlooked, unless it is with the delibc.-ralo purpose of injuring him and wronenig the American people out of their choice of a President. The editor further adds: "Gen. Harrison's supporters are to he found in the country, among the farmers, mechanics, and laborers the people are the advocates of the Hero ol North Hand. And all the public manifestations in favor of this Hero and Statesman are from them. No premeditated steps no concert ((faction among political partizaus no jug-clinc-or inanaeuverini has been resorted to, in order to the furthering of his claims. All has been the voluntary ;:nd unsys'.emized expression of the yeomanry of the laiuh We do not mean by this to infer, that cither Mr. (.'lay's or Mr. Webster's claims have been forced into notice by political gaming far from it: but we do say, that less of this has been done in pressing Gen. Harrison's claims than either of the oilier distinguished and worthy men. Thus far his claims have, with few exceptions, not even been pressed; but all that has been said and done in his favor, arose, out of common consent, and sprung from the voluntary and spontaneous preferences of American citizen:-, These are the basis upon which General Harrison's preten-ions are founded? Can they be better? Could they be more promising of success? Are the indications in his favor not of the proper character lo insure victory? Did a candidate for the Presidency ever come into the licld under more promising and favorable suspices? These are so strong and all powerful, that were we even inclined to support the claims of another, we could not, without wrongin our judgement, overlook ihem. And henceforth, from t:meto time, we will avail ourselves of every fair and honorable opportunity to eaiide such facts in favor of, and throw such li:iht upon the claim and pretensions of Gen. Wi'ltam IL'nrv Harrison, for the Presidency, as our feeble abilities will allow. In this hastv and imperfect sketch of or.r views on the relative claims of Harrison, Clay and Webster, a very small portion, indeed, of our raasons, for the choice we have made, have been given. We will m future, however, enlarge question." upon this .

Webster and Calhoun, what was our s.:rnrise on coming oui oi trie Cr.(ital to hear a member of the House remark that he contemplated r.iovisrr an nrnt of the distinguished Sena tor from Massachusetts'. "For what?" we exclaimed with involmtnry and painful surprise. "For a violation of the Constitution of the United States'." was the shocking rcply. "In what particular? "In resnect to the 8lh article, which provide that "cruel and unusual punish ment shall not be inacted. Mr. Web ster has committed a palpable infrinfrement of that article, m his reply to-day. to Mr. Calhoun. We would not gainsay the truth of the charge against the distinguished Senator The reception which this Hannible gave to the invader of Africa, the Scipio Africanus South Carolinaensis, as he called Mr. Calhoun, was certainly "cruelly and unusuailv" warm. Mr. Webster, in conclusion, commend ed to Mr. Calhoun the spirit of an old Arr.erican law, which we cannot refrain from mentioning. The ancient State of Franklin, now East Tennessee, finding itself in a situa tion not unlike that of the goverdment at the present moment, and not being able to redeem its obligations either in specie or good notes, and the people being much embarrassed bv the reverses of the times. pissed a law very unlike that one which is proposed to give the office-holders gold and silver, and the people rags. The econ omy thev recommended was exacly the reverse of that now in vogue. Thev left j the gold and ilver to continue in oirouia-

Our information comes from a gentleman direct from the scene of cliihcu!ties and may be relied upon as correct. I'lie whole story seems to be about this. V small band of 0$a."s came into the settlements iti Bates county, about fif'a-e.i miles above the Harmuny mission. Thev numbered five lodges and about fifteen or twenty Indians. They applied to one of the settlers. Dodge, probably to bav corn, representing themselves as starving.
